Last weekend was real packed. Queues for the popular rides e.g. Battlestar Galacticas and Reverage of the Mummies, were reflecting waiting time of 80mins. But despite that, express lane was virtually empty. Thus, I reckon if one is there for the rides, it might be worthwhile to get the Express Pass, but it don't come cheap at additional $68 on top of the entrance ticket ... Overall, I think USS is worth the experience for the rides.

I went on a Sun at the start of Mar holidays. 2nd visit (first time was 6 mths after opening) Crowd much better than first visit. Battlestar (both red & blue) and Revenge of the Mummy only 5 mins wait. We took 2 times. Can even take 3 - 4 times but decide against it. Canopy flyer was 40 mins, it was too short a ride. Rapid Adventure was 80 mins. So we didn't ride this. Instead we went round taking pictures with characters and watched shows which we didn't had time during our first visit.

I will be bringing my kiddos there this weekend.


May I know if the food at the resort any good or should we bring own food/drinks? Also, are there many lockers at each attraction? Are they FOC? Lastly Is it a hassle to convert day pass ticket to annual pass at the counters? TIA!

Food there is acceptable, eg burgers, fried chicken, pizza, etc. Soft drinks are costly, there are many water coolers if you don't mind. Also, are there many lockers at each attraction? Are they FOC? At some attractions, lockers are foc only for a limited time period. If the q is long for that attraction and you exceeded the foc time period then you've to pay for it. Lastly Is it a hassle to convert day pass ticket to annual pass at the counters? No hassle at all, just wait around for processing and photo taking. TIA!

Enjoy your time there.

Thanks for your reply cascada! It’s really good to know that I don’t have to carry waterbottles for fear of dehydration.


Do you think it is worth getting annual pass? It’s pretty ex & there aren’t many rides plus the waiting time is so–so long.

I m annual pass holder, I’ve no intention to renew. What I noticed is RWS welcome day pass visitors which they are not short of, they don’t treasure AP holders, esp Fun Pass category.


Personally, I feel that now is not the time to get AP, should wait for more rides to be opened first.

Hi cascada, just wondering, were you given additional 3 months extension to your annual pass membership? We were given 3 more months, so I guess the reason must be because a few rides were still not opened yet.

I am wondering when the Madagascar Ride will be opened. Can't wait for it!

Happy mama,

Yes, we were given the 3 mth extension, so our AP will end somewhere in Jul.
Heard that MACA ride is something like JPRA, another roller coaster ride? USS is targeting to open it next mth/ Jun, so ‘pioneer’ AP holders may get at least a ride on it before their AP expire.
