The buzz about Universal Studio in Singapore must have gone away a long time ago, but we have just had a chance to visit it.. Located in Sentosa Island, Universal Studio becomes one of the main tourist attractions in Singapore today.
Along with us, Chumba and Bubaka were very exciting about the visit to USS.
The trademark of every Universal Studio:
the rotating Universal ball ^^
Just a few steps away from the entrance, we met Woody Woodpecker's girlfriend and we took a family picture with her.. :D
The USS has a circular layout, you just need to walk around and you will get back to the starting point. So, we began our trip from the Madagascar area..
Bubaka was happy and hoped he could
get up in the tree :D
Another family picture with the Madagascar friends,
but these ones are only statues :(
Chumba and Bubaka
were almost crashed by the bad monkeys
We finished the Madagascar area pretty fast, just after one ride of 'Madagascar: A Crate Adventure', since no other rides were interesting for us. :D And the sun has risen up so much that it was time for lunch. So, we had lunch in 'Goldilocks', a restaurant in Far Far Away area, serving hamburgers and fried chickens..
Chumba and Bubaka were waiting
for the food patiently. They guarded the
seats for us..
And when the food came, they rushed to get everything.. =_=
Lunchtime was over and we continued the fun journey in Far Far Away land..
Chumba was trapped in the Rabbi's hand..
HELP!!!
We watched Shrek 4D, The Donkey Live Show and rode 'Enchanted Airways', a small roller-coaster.. :D It was pretty fun.. Next stop was the Lost World, the area where the dinosaurs live. We were very exciting to try the 'Jurassic Park Rapid Adventure' and we've been in queue for almost an hour. However, to our disappointment, the ride experienced a technical error until the end of the day. :'( We didn't have a chance to try it, but we did get a free pass, which we used to ride 'Canopy Flyer'. It's not very interesting though..
Leaving with great disappointment from the Lost World, we entered the Ancient Egypt..
Bubaka was scared by the giant statue of the Anubis
We didn't take the roller-coaster since we didn't feel like having another ride that day.. So we just looked around and took pictures..
Bubaka and Chumba enjoyed their times in the Ancient Egypt
Chumba, the mightiest Egyptian elephant ^^
After the Ancient Egypt, next came the Sci-Fi City, where the twin coasters were located. Again, one of the coaster was not operating due to some technical errors. Only the 'Human' coaster was operating..
Bubaka took a proof shot
in front of the coaster.. :p
Without much to see in the Sci-Fi City, we walked forward to the New York Area. We entered to Loui's NY Pizza Parlor because the weather was too hot outside. :D We took a break with a plate of Caesar Salad and a giant slice of Pepperoni Pizza.. The food came in meal with large drink and NY Cheesecake.
Nom nom.. The food looks good..
Bubaka opted for the salad
Chumba chose the pizza with the cheesecake..
We finished the day off by watching 'Monster Rock' show, a musical where the casts were all monsters.. :D It was supposed to be a good musical, but we just didn't get the feel of it. Perhaps the act was not good enough or maybe we were too tired already.. Hahaha.. On the way out in 'Hollywood' street, we met Woody Woodpecker and took the last shot with him.. ^^
Overall, the trip wasn't really fun. The park was very small compared to other theme parks we've been to. The rides were very few and we didn't really enjoy them. Also, the shops were not really interesting. Perhaps, only the shops in Madagascar and Far Far Away area attracted us. :) And the biggest disappointment for us at that day was the sudden technical error in Jurassic Park ride. :'( But we do hope to visit USS again sometimes later to try this ride.. :)
