Universal Studios Singapore
I'm not those kind who likes theme parks a lot, but seeing HH so begging me to go, gave it a try. Went to the newest tourist attraction in Singapore today with NT, PG, HH, ZX, SL. Oh well, firstly, I have to say it's not bad. Now here comes the detailed review.
Overall, the park is divided into sections with different themes, such as Madagascar, Sci-fi, etc. which I think is quite good. You get to see different kinds of buildings and decorations in different sub-parks.
On the part of rides, I have to say I'm a bit disappointed. Because I have taken similar rides somewhere else. So IMO the park is NOT really worth that admission price of $66 (before 20% discount of course). Very disappointed with that 'dinosaur' ride, completed in less than 1 min. Genting Highlands has a similar one, but it's much more exciting.
And sorry to HH, I did not take the 'Human' and 'Cylon' roller coaster. These 2 roller coasters look fun, but are not suited to weaker hearts like me. No matter how many excuses you use to convince me to take them. :\ Well, hard to find a compromise la...
On the mummy roller coaster. Actually the most scary part is not the turning and dropping and ascending in the dark. The scary part is before this, where it will sudden accelerate you in a straight line and stop it before the obstacles and then within 10 seconds, it will accelerate in reverse fashion and some little descend before it turns you in the forward orientation and finally starts the high speed part of the ride. I must say this is quite creative on the design part. But the turning and ups and downs in the dark like makes no connection to the 'mummy' and pyramid la. This roller coaster has already taken its attack on me liao. I was in a little shock and jelly legs after the ride. Not to mention that 14-storey high 'human' and 'cylon' roller coaster lor. :(
On the other hand, Canopy Flyer is quite a new thing and it's not that slow also! Maybe could have made the trip longer to enjoy the scenery up there la. Then the simulation of hurricane and the water show was quite good in my opinion, I'm always get drenched one la. Hmm, to experience the real thing lor.
One last thing: OMG! A lot of Indian tourists la! =.=
After which, the USS was closed down for some private event (which I only knew after I got home that got some super big celebrities invited to that event). So we went to Vivo's Carls Jr for dinner. Then start that forever-addictive 三國殺!Nice game by the 5 of them :)
