I just came back after a 3D2N stay at RWS (we chose Festive Hotel) and it included a 1D ticket to USS. The weather in Singapore is the killer and add that to a 2 year old kid and a pregnant wife, not really a fun trip.


I would probably not return to USS for a long time. Being drench in perspiration while waiting for rides is no fun at all...

That's exactly what I'm afraid off, the hot blazing sun But have promised to bring the kids so just go once, at least.

Wish we could catch the promo but my kids effectively have only 1 week free from school activities during the June break so going on 17May. Also took up the 3D2N deal.

Hope to try the luge and other activities on the island.

From your post I presume they are at least primary school level and above. Think they would have more fun as they can go for more rides and appreciate it better. My boy is too young. Even the \"spiders\" in the Shrek 4D show scared him.

To be fair, I think its manageable. The queue are sheltered and sometimes indoor airconditioned.

I am back with USS trip. Overall was OK for me except few incidents which made me :mad:


1. A lot of IND***S (I don't know why.. I went to Crusie and its the same)
2. They jumped Q :mad:
3. They pushed :mad:
4. Weather is SUPER HOT..

I tell them straight into their face \"Please Q UP!\", \"Please don't PUSH!\" :pokeeye:

I went there with my DD 4yo and she didn't manage to take all the rides due to height limit. She also scare of the 4D shrek - spiders and cover her eyes most of the time.

We went USS last Sunday. The only new addition after my last trip in June 2010 is only the Madagascar boat ride....

The ride was ok....about 5 min I think...The boat ride allows 1 to see all the characters in the movie. The queue was moving quite fast on the day I went. My girl was so excited that she took this ride thrice... :lol:

Seems like all promo ends before school holiday.


Anyone knows of any promo for entry tickets during June holiday?

Was at RWS the past few days, went to USS on Monday. Chose that day on purpose hoping that since it is a Monday maybe not so crowded. Well the crowd around the whole RWS was lesser then on Sunday when we checked in but still crowded. Guess it’s bcos the hols have started. Ended up getting the express tix for the rides.


Kids totally enjoyed the stay there. Took some coaxing to get them on some of the rides but each time, they came out of it exhilarated. Went on the Madagascar Crate ride, the kiddy coaster (enchanted airways I think), flying canopy, Shrek 4D, Lights Camera Action, Jurasic rapids. Skipped Revenge of the Mummy and the Battlestar Galatica, cos mommy and daddy dun have the stomach for those either. But we stood there and gawked at the people taking the battlestar rides, even watching them was scary.

Moved on to sentosa island and spent the day at the underwater world, no Dolphin show though as it was mating season, butterfly park, fish spa and lost count of how many luge rides we took.

Everything was super ex. With the amount we spent on this trip, think we could have gone to BKK for 3days 2 nites and back. But diff kind of fun lah.

Downside, there were large groups of certain people that made a total nuisance of themselves. They get into your photos, push and shove and jump queues, then when buying tix, they rush in front and hold back everyone cos they have not decided what they want to get and start asking loads of questions and getting into group discussion while still not making the purchase, when told to move aside to discuss they keep saying ok oredi but continue to discuss. They park themselves everywhere, anywhere without care that they are blocking people’s way. They don’t follow instructions or directions and resulted in the skyride having to make emergency stops. While taking the Luge trail, they stop in the middle of nowhere to take pictures and when there are others in front and there is a need to stop, they think it is fun to keep bumping into the luge in front of them. Had to tell a few of them off at various points.

The kids were oblivious to this little irritation and when time came for us to leave RWS, they were reluctant. For the kids, I guess, it was an adrenalin filled few days while for us, the parents, it was a pocket burning, bone rattling, heart attack inducing few days. But well worth it to see those bright eyes and huge grins on their little faces.
