Vacation to Singapore, October 11-15, 2010, Day 4


The next day, we went to Resort World Sentosa, Universal Studio Singapore. There are shuttle bus from Vivocity and HarbourFront to RWS just for $2 return. USS ticket is sold at $66 weekday and $72 weekend. The ticket is sold on site, but if you want to secure your trip there, better to buy online. With that fare, we still can get voucher $5 for meal and $5 for souvenir as some of attractions there are not fully operated yet. You can try all the attractions inside, most of those are interesting, but pay attention with the show times if you don’t want to miss it. You can get the list of show time at entrance gate. Don’t worry about drinking water here, they provide on few spots. And with the meal voucher, you can buy foods cheaper than the fare written there.

Before the gate was opened at 10AM, many visitors were queueing up in a long line. We saw Po (Kungfu Panda) and Woody Woodpecker walked getting close to say hi and took pictures with some visitors especially children. Firstly, we went to redeem our vouchers at the booth on the left side. Then we walked along Hollywood street, turned left to Madagascar area, Far Far Away area. In here, we played Enchanted Airways, a junior roller coaster and continued watching Shrek 4D. After that we watched Donkey Live show, it is an interesting show coz we can interactive lively with Donkey, the character in Shrek movie.

We continued walking to Lost World area. While waiting for Water World show to be opened, we rode Canopy Flyer, the attraction is a hanging roller coaster. At Water World, we can see stunt men act just like in the movie itself, but be prepared of getting wet here because they will splash you with water. There is three zones of seating, if you don’t want to get wet, better sit in red zone. It was lunch time when the show finished, we then had lunch at Discovery Food centre in Lost World area. Wow…what a long queue inside, it took about 20 minutes for us to buy Hainanese chicken rice. After that, we played Rapids Adventure, a white water raft. I will not tell too much about the attractions in USS, just try it by yourself and feel the excitement of it. ^_^

From Lost World area, we went to Ancient Egypt area. Here, you can play Treasure Hunter and Revenge of the Mummy. Revenge of the Mummy is a high speed roller coaster in a total darkness. It can reverse fastly and turn sharply. Oh ya, u can rent a locker here to put your belongings during the game, free of charge for the 1st 30 minutes and you can also buy disposable raincoat for $2 at every shops inside. It was a very warm weather when we were there, haiz…forgot to bring hat and sunblock. Nothing much that we could play in Sci Fi City area, so we just walked pass by it towards New York area. In New York area, you will see many characters such as Betty Boop, Charlie Chaplin, Frankenstein, etc and take pics together but of course with a limited time. We entered Lights, Camera, Action building to see how the special effect is made in a movie.
