Travel: Singapore - Universal Studio

The last time I went, in April, most of the dining and restaurants were not open yet at the forum (near to the main entrance to USS). Can someone let me know if most of the restaurants are open now? Thanks!

Mummyprincess, what is 4d movie ride? Shrek 4D?
Thks for your recommendation, daisyt!
I have tried on some of the rides last friday. I esp like the 4d movie ride. The revenge of the Mummy ride was quite scary. It was a hot day and when I reached there b4 10am, all tickets were sold out. Luckily, I managed to get the online tickets 2 days b4. It was quite packed and we waited almost an hour for a 10mins ride.... :roll: I regret not buying express ticket.
Revenge of mummy - how scary hur? -
daisyt:
Yup, u r correct. It's Shrek 4D. As for Revenge of mummy, its like a indoor roller coaster ride where u experience total darkness, huge fire, scared by those 'mummies' and super fast forward and backward movement.

I’m bringing DD to universal studio this Aug. She is turning 3. Any rides she can take for her age? My first time in US, here or overseas.

Finally did it today! There was some light rain on and off but DS had a great time.
The express passes really help save queuing time. We did Revenge of the Mummy twice and loved it!
My DS went up Amber Rock Climb twice as well.. :? ..
we found it funny cause there were other places to go to.. ...

During this school holiday, we’ve bought our daughter to newly-opened Universal Studio Singapore.
If the tourists want to go into the Universal Studio on the day itself, they will be disappointed as it is always FULL house.We booked our ticket one week in advance. Adult ticket is $66. Child above 3 years old is about $46. My hubby bought the express ticket, added in additional $20 per person. i.e. you could jump queue, people who brought express ticket would have privilege to go to express lane of each ride/activity. As some of the activities was not fully operated, so the park compensated us with $10 shopping + $10 dinning vouchers for each person. so don’t forget to pickup the voucher at the entrance.
The theme park is pretty easy to navigate in a big circle. It is divided into several themes, Hollywood, Madagascar, Far far Away, Ancient Egypt, Sci-Fi City, New York.
At Hollywood, mostly shops & restarant. At Madagascar, river boat ride was not open yet, coming soon. We did the merry-go-round.
At Far far Away, There was a huge castle, we did shrek 4D show, donkey live , ferris wheel there. My daughter loved the 4D show the best. when donkey sneezed in the movie, you could actually feel the water splashed all over you. you could also feel the wind was blowing from back of your seat, chair was moving up and down. It was such a interesting show. At donkey live show, you would have chance to communicate with cartoon donkey face to face. you could ask donkey questions and donkey would answer you.
At The lost world, there was bunch of theme park activities, such as outdoor roller coaster, waterworld, canopy flyer, Juassic park train ride, Amber rock climb.
At Ancient Egypt, there was a amazing indoor roller coaster where you could experience a thrill ride in total darkness. Well, it might be too scary for young children. My daughter wouldn’t dare to do it as she still kept the bad memory of roller coaster ride from our last disneyland HK trip. But I loved it the most, as it is different than other roller coaster that I have tried all over the world. It would have a sudden stop when the roller coaster was about to hit the wall, then the wall cracked with all the scary black insect that you can see in Mummy Return movie. Roller coast reversed and turn direction in the fast speed ride in the darkness. I felt a strong wind passing through my cheek, my hair was almost standing up. Occasionally, I saw flashing light, spider web, smoke and felt the mist in the air. Wow, that was really a interesting thrill experience!
At Sci-Fi City, the bigger outdoor roller coaster was not open for the day. We did the Accelerator, where you could sit in the cup design machine to swirling and twirling.
At New York, we saw special effect studio called "Ligts, camera, Action". This is what Univeral Stuido is all about. You will be blown away by the filmmakers incredible special effect, setting for a major hurricane about to hit new york city. There was fire all over the place, can you believe it?
Well, time flies. We’ve spent the whole day there, from 10am until 7pm. There are still some show that we didn’t have
time to watch, as some of the show was ended as early as 4:30pm. We had dinner at the shopping mall outside the Universal Studio.
It was such a wonderful outing for our family. We come out from from the car park, the hefty parking fee is also ‘wonderful’- $20!
Might think of take public transport next time, haha
pls refer to my blog for photos. -
