fun. Fun. FUN!!!
Yesterday was my first off-in-lieu from work~ and what better way to spend a weekday off than to do things that you normally avoid on the weekends (because you know its gonna be crowded af)?U.S.S. That's right! -AWESOME FUN-.
Now I finally understand why people can go there over and over again despite the hefty price tag and expected queues. That being said, no weekends because if its already this crowded on a weekday, I can't imagine a weekend. *spare me*
SO, I started the day at 10 a.m. after a tiny breakfast at Vivo (2 half-boiled eggs @ Toast Box) and took the Sentosa Express (SGD$4)! We got our e-tickets the day before (from: https://www.klook.com/activity/117-universal-studios-singapore/) @ SGD$60 per normal admission which really cut a lot of hassle since we didn't have to do pick-ups.
Queue was long at the entrance, but it wasn't too bad. Got through with only about 10-15 minute wait, and we immediately walked right in to 'Far Far Away' (to escape the crowds). First couple of rides only took 5-15 mins wait which was mind-blowing, the longest wait was probably around 40 min.
The rides/shows caught:
Enchanted Airways
*Puss in Boots Giant Journey
Treasure Hunters
***Revenge of the Mummy
**Battlestar Galactica (Human track)
**Water World (show)
**Lights, Camera, Action
Madagascar: A Crate Adventure
*Shrek 4-D Adventure
Accelerator
Donkey Live (show)
*Transformers The Ride
Considering we only had about 8 hours, we accomplished quite a lot in a day!!! My personal favourite has to be 'Revenge of the Mummy'! It's one of the two 'exclamation' rides (the other being the Cylon path of Battlestar Galactica, which I unfortunately did not have the chance to take) and it was one of the most memorable ones I've taken.
My 2nd favourite would have to be 'Lights, Camera, Action'. I wasn't expecting much from this one since its pretty much just standing there, but, wow oh wow. It was a nice & refreshing experience.
'Transformers The Ride' was the last ride we took before we ended the day, a note of caution to people with motion sickness like myself, they mean it when they say "People with Motion Sickness should not ride this". I took off my glasses before I put on the 3-D ones since I kinda knew what was coming, but it still made me feel quite sick after that. Apart from that, I think this ride would be an extremely thrilling and exciting experience for people who don't have the issue with motion sickness.
All in all, thumbs up for USS. I haven't rode roller coasters in 3 years and I'm glad I had the chance to ride to my heart's content. Will I head there again? - its a no-brainer, yes, Yes, YES.
