The One about Universal Studios Singapore.....

The inaugral Trip of Universal Studios is has finally arrived for me! This time however i decided to make it a double combo as it also falls under the Halloween Horror Nights Event that happened towards the evening. But First things first lets kick of with the intinerary of the day.

Met up with Connie early so that we could be one of the first to try all the rides and when we entered we were immediately greeted by a lovable chilhood character Woody Woodpecker! We proceeded with the 'Lights Camera Action' which involved Steven Speilberg simulating a scene from the movie 'Twister' after which we took the time to check out some performances at the Monster Rock theatre as well as outside Mels Diner.

The land of Madagascar was was filled with our favourite Jungle animals and of course not to forget the psychotic penguins as well! Was pretty lucky to be able to grab a picture with them and of course the really entertaining boat ride into the caves of the Foosah! lol

The Land of Far far away was filled with funny versions of all our fairy tale creatures! Puss in Boots was out and about this time and if you happen to be there, be sure to check out the Live stand up comedy show by Donkey as well as the amazing Shrek 4D ride for a whole bunch of laughs.

It was a pity the 'Rapid adventure' Ride was down at Jurrasic Park even though the enclosure looked like a set from the actual movie. We decided to head down to Waterworld to catch the performance. It was a performance worth getting soaked for! Reenacting a scene from the famous Kevin Costner movie back in the 90s, this show was filled with pyrotechnics and special efefcts and not to forget lots of WATER!

Ancient egypt was filled with actors dressed as characters from "The 'Mummy" franchise. That of course included servants of Horus and Anubis as well as Mathayus from the Scorpion King. There of course also included the 'Revenge of the Mummy' ride that everyone has been raving about. A high velocity ride with special effects that will rock your socks off!

Next up was the Sci Fi city where we ended things off with the Battlestar Galactica ride. The Human version was enough for a kick for me so i dared not try the Cylon version.

The tranformers ride featured a new autobot created exclusively for this ride called EVAC. Words can't explain how mind blowing this ride was so do check it out yourselves ya?

To wrap things up we head on down to the New York sector of USS once more and took pictures with some of our lovable characters from Hollywood like Charlie Chaplin, Betty Boop, Beetlejuice... etc Definately an experience to remember but will the Halloween night be as good? Look out for it in my next post!
