On the Visit to USS

So we finally muster enough courage (or money) and went down south to the Universal Studio Singapore, also known as USS.


Funny how the NY street wasn't as appealing as it was in the brochures. I thought it would have been more 'real'. But yeah, funny me, it is a theme park after all. Shoot some photos with Marilyn Monroe and camwhored in front of the National Library before headed to the....

Transformers ride!! It was, one word, nauesea-inducing. LMAO. I like to believe I am a fan of roller coaster and all (God knows how many times I did the Battlestar Galactica), but the 3D version... Hmmm... It's like sitting in a gaming box. But it was cool nontheless...

The Egyptian sections promoted with the Return of the Mummies ride was pretty cool yes, but it was an indoor roller coaster which was rolling through 'cave' literally. You can't see much. Just occasional images popping up here and there. But I'm sure the main attractions of those who play on the other side of the game would have been obviously...


The guards...


The live performance thing was impressive. I didn't thought the story-line was all that interesting. It was afterall action-packed. Men and ladies jumping from 2 storey high and all...

The Faraway Land was otherwise quite disappointing. It's basically for those who adore castles and fairy tales. *clears throat* Well, not to say that I have *coughs* plan on going to see *coughs* the real one somewhere in Europe... But yes, the 4D show was bland, the interactive donkey was boring. But I'm saving the food because I didn't try any of it...

The finale of the day, (though not for us), was the charade... I thought it was a bit too short a distance for charade.... But at least they put up an effort for it...

I have not had the chance to compare USS with any other Universal Studio or Disneyland for that matter. To compare it with Genting Highland, I think it's pretty okay for a day out. I would definitely go back in someday, when I'm loaded, just for...


I went on them 3 times that day. Definitely want more, and would go for it every other weekend... If only entrance fee is cheaper. LOL
