USS

I went to Universal Studios Singapore on Wednesday :)
It was so much fun and I sat on pretty much all of the more interesting rides!

Some rides which I think were good, which I sat on were the "Revenge of the Mummy" and "Canopy-something" ride :) These were quite fun :D
The mummy ride was just awesome. Sitting on the ride where you are going through something like a storytelling ride and with all the cinematic effects. At the main part of the ride, it would be so dark with only a few lighted poster-like figures flying past you so you dont know when will the rollar coaster go up or down. There was a part when the rollar coaster goes backwards, but it was only once and for a while. The ride was very good and FAST, which is a must-have for rollar coasters! And there are the up and down moments which makes this ride the best after the battlestar galactica since it is closed. I sat on it twice and thoroughly enjoyed it the second time since I wasnt that afraid anymore. :) I feel like sitting on it again~~~
The canopy ride was only 53 seconds!! haha. It was very fast and too short i think. But it was very fun. It was abit similar to a rollar coaster except that you are sitting in a seat which is hanging in mid-air. :) And it was very fun. There are the front and back seats. The back seat is way more fun as you dont know where will the chair be swinging to next, so it is much more thrilling! It was drizzling when i sat on it the second time, so it  was really quite cool as the rain is splashing on you! :D

Anyway, just for those who want to know what is it like, the USS is divided into a few sections and there are different rides and stores and environment based on the theme of the section.
So the few sections are: Hollywood, Madagascar, Far Far Away (Shrek), The Lost World (Jurassic), Egypt, Sci-Fi, New York.
Madagascar was the most boring as the only interesting ride there was "coming soon". Far Far Away had more interesting stuff like 4-D, and a rollar coaster ride called 'Express Airways' I think. The Lost World had the Canopy and the Waterworld show which was quite interesting. Egypt had the mummy ride. Sci-Fi was supposed to have Battlestar Galatica. There is a ride called the Accelerator there which is just like a teacup ride which goes round and round. New York has an attraction where they show you how do the directors make special effect. It was really cool as the scene in front of me was quite realistic! And I attended a live concert where it was like Glee come alive. Haha. The ending song was Bon Jovi's It's my life :D Too bad the people watching were not very high.

Overall, USS is very nice and i spent the WHOLE DAY there. Entering from 10 and exiting at 7, which are its opening hours x) It would be much more exciting when Battlestar Galatica opens! ;P
