Universal Studios Singapore

To date, this amusement park is my number one favorite! First because it has this awe factor and second due to the fact that it's not for the kids only.

I'll narrate the rides in order of how we toured the park. Upon entry, equip yourselves with a map!

Right there I felt I was transported to a new universe. Felt like I was in Hollywood! You can also notice that they roofed the main avenues so you won't feel the heat of the sun and if in case it rains, you can still enjoy the rides and the park. Great news for everyone, isn't it?

We started our journey to the west side of the park and bumped with the ride Madagascar: A Crate Adventure; but first have a picture first on their booth! Well, it was like a kiddie ride telling the story of the Madagascar movie's characters. Enjoyable as well and good warm-up for your day.

Next stop is the Enchanted Airways! Finally a roller-coaster ride but a miniature one. Just enough to ignite your adventuresome senses. Oh, I lost my sunglasses here so be mindful about your loose things. After which we tried Shrek 4-D Adventure wherein you would be seated in a theater for an exhilarating 4-D show. Be prepared to get moistly wet! Last tip, on the reception area, place yourselves near the stage/monitors because the entrance to the theater is there enabling you to get your desired seats.

We did surveyed the rides on The Lost World area but everything has long lines and since we have oldies with us, we tried to pick the rides for all of us. Unfortunately, we just passed by this area.

And then there is the fascinating Egyptian structures and monuments. Here we tried the Revenge of the Mummy indoor roller coaster where you will literally scream with fright! A must in this amusement park!

Next is Sci-Fi City, home of the famous Transformers The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle. True enough, it is my most enjoyable ride of them all and the most connecting ride I ever had. Everyone is clapping before leaving our rides. Indeed, a one-of-a-kind experience! Another a must ride from this park and better be patient in waiting for the long queue though you'll definitely enjoy yourself with the museum-like atmosphere whilst on line.

Finally but not the least is New York! At a glance I thought this is nothing and we tried to check out Lights, Camera, Action! Hosted by Steven Spielberg with empty minded on what to expect inside; not to mention the very short waiting time. This attraction redeemed itself upon our exit as it boasts the behind-the-camera scenes and amazing effects. Oh, how would you wish to be located on the farthest and topmost area?! Try for yourselves to know why!

Of course, before leaving the park we did bought some souvenir items. Though a bit pricey, I give it a go. 

Here are my rankings for the rides we've been to:

  1. Transformers The Ride
  2. Revenge of the Mummy
  3. Lights, Camera, Action!
  4. Shrek 4-D Adventure
  5. Enchanted Airways
  6. Madagascar: A Crate Adventure


Definitely, I'll be back to this amusement park as there are still left unknown to my mind and body!
