Singapore Universal Studio

Date:  June 4, 2011

We just came back from Disney Land @ Japan, and the kids love the rides in Japan.  So, our next target is Universal Studios @ Singapore.

My in-laws and sister in-law and her kids are in town.  So, we have arranged for them to visit the Universal Studios.  This shall be our first visit too.  I am very sure both Jay & Kay will be very excited too.  Especially when their cousins are in town to play with them.

Out of so many attraction zones, I think the more relevant one to the kids should be Madagascar.  As Jay loves the theme song, "I Like to Move it Move it..." and here we are, the great cargo ship hijack by the penguins.  Jay also watch the movie not long ago...

The first ride is a boat ride of the Madagascar story.  And it takes about 45min of waiting time.  The weather is hot and humid, and the wait is quite long.  Later, we found out that every ride and every attractions also takes 30min to 1 hour to queue.  So, my recommendation is... Buy the EXPRESS pass... It costs about S$30 (off-peak) or S$48 (peak) more... It's worth it.  Otherwise the whole day you will get stuck under the hot sun.  As we are first timer, by the time we realize it, we already half thru the park.  So, no point upgrading to the express pass.

Jay loves to ride the Carousel.  And he has to choose the tallest giraffe...

Oh ya... in the park, you do not need to bring your own stroller, there are places for you to rent these two sitter stroller.  We rented one for Jay's cousins...

Finally... Kay woke up... And this is the best place to get a nice shot of the castle...

There are I guess only 2 roller coaster ride in the Universal studios @ Singapore.  This one is the Enchanted Airways or somethinglike that... and I have decided to take Jay Jay up there, since he loves the roller coaster so much...

The Water World show is quite entertaining.  The kids love it.  Lots of water, fire, gun fights, fightings, and funny moments...

There are not many ride is suitable for a 4.5 years old kid, so, once you find one, you have to queue for it.  This is the Dinosoarin ride.

Even Kay Kay also enjoyed so much about the ride...

Conclusions....

1.  They seems to lift up the 3,000 Pax per day entrance quota.  So, seems like you can get the ticket anytime you go...

2.  Please get Express Pass if you really want to try out all the rides and attractions....  More expensive, but more worth it...

3.  The food in there is just OK.  Seems like they are a lot of same food stall selling similar food...

4.  The park is really small, and you can really walk to another theme place very fast...

5.  Well... what can I say, the theme park is really build for the gamblers so that they can have excuses to come to Singapore for the Casino, and they can place their children here for a whole day to queue up for the rides, and the sun will exhaust them fast and then, they can have a very long sleep at night... hahahahaha
