Universal Studios Singapore Rotating Globe — Attraction in Singapore

This place is awesome...it remind me the fantasy world,I felt like I was in some wonderland in-between snowhite,Cinderella etc...and I was happy to go in adventourous ride like 1) Battlestar Galactica: Human vs Cylon.

2. Transformers: The Ride.

3. Revenge of the Mummy.

4. Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure.

5. Waterworld.

6. Shrek 4-D Adventure.

7. If You Have More Time.

You must try all these which will ask us to go one more. And Battlestar Galactica is two rides in one and is not to be missed if you enjoy rollercoasters. We usually start our day here when queues are short.

This duelling coaster features a blue inverted coaster representing the Cylons and the seated red coaster representing the Humans. If you don’t like going upside down, stick with Humans.

2.Transformers is the most popular ride after park opening, so we usually head straight to Battlestar—on our latest visit both coasters only had a 5-minute wait. Transformers is a 3D ride where you don glasses and sit in a cart that flings you around in time to the action on the screens, and it is incredibly effective.Zooming down city streets chased by giant fighting robots is as dramatic and exciting as it sounds. The ride gets you as close to being in the movie (assuming you’d want to be in a Transformers movie) as you’re ever likely to get.

Unfortunately, if you are prone to motion sickness, then this one is very likely to set it off. For everyone else, it’s an incredibly thrilling next-generation ride.

This is the park’s busiest ride in the morning, so we usually wait until mid-afternoon to ride it. A 120-minute wait at 11 am can turn into a 10-minute wait at 3 pm.

3.In a similar vein to Transformers but without the 3D glasses, on Revenge of the Mummy you set off in your jeep through an ancient Egyptian tomb in search of The Book of the Living. You travel through various scenes (with some fun surprises) before being thrown onto a surprisingly intense roller coaster in the dark.I always forget what a fantastic ride Revenge of the Mummy is—it’s a fun mix of roller coaster, haunted house, and multimedia adventure. The queues aren’t usually long in the morning (we only waited five minutes and rode it twice), but it’s best to make it your second stop after Battlestar Galactica as they do increase in the afternoon.

This one also requires lockers (again, free for the first 45 minutes), but they’re not as strict as for Battlestar.

4.A river rafting adventure through the world of Jurassic Park, this one is a guaranteed soaking and includes an impressive waterfall drop and plenty of splashing river rapids.

Lockers are available nearby and they’re not free for any amount of time (unlike Ancient Egypt and Battlestar), but unless you bring a dry bag for your valuables, you’ll want to use them.

If you find yourself uncomfortably drenched afterwards, there are drying pods available to blow dry you for S$5.

It’s best to wear quick drying clothes when you visit Universal (especially given Singapore’s often rainy climate) so you can dry off quickly after this ride. Our companions who wore denim shorts were uncomfortable for quite a while.

5.The Waterworld stunt show is set in a specially constructed theatre and is an absolute delight.

The performers are fully committed to their roles, providing slapstick entertainment before the show begins and breathtaking stunts throughout. Multiple three storey drops, jet ski chases, explosions, and dramatic fights on narrow catwalks are...

wow. what a disappointing & underwhelming experience that was. It is definitely not what it used to be.

Staff were dismissive and lacked warmth. Maybe we got there on an OFF day (Saturday) or because it was raining slightly?? Which didn't bother us at all.

It seemed that anyone there with kids was made to feel... "in the way". Especially noticeable on the Jurassic Park ride as the staff were borderline rude. Generally not a family friendly place that we expected. On top of that, the Jurassic Park ride BROKE DOWN with us on it half way through, in the dark, and had to be reset. Which only took 10 minutes, but left us a bit confused & shaken and the kids were too scared to take any other rides after that little experience.

The main attraction ride - Transformers was still fun, but we noticed that 2 of the 3D scenes that the projection was very dark and difficult to appreciate. I guess the equipment is pretty old and low resolution by now.

The overall biggest observation was that there weren't any performers or hosts about the whole time we were there. Which is an easy way to create fun vibes. (Did they have the day off?)

A lot of the rides an events were closed and there was extremely noisy construction work going on. (as pictured below)

If youth think we spent around $500 for entry tickets and another $100 on merch, It was a Universal letdown for the money we spent there.

Overall the experience was definitely not the special occasion we were expecting to have with the family.

Universal Studios a was much better experience the last time we visited a couple years ago, but now it was a blemish on which was otherwise a great weekend family holiday in Singapore. Singapore has so much more (and better) experiences to offer for a young family.

I recommend giving this place a big wide detour until Sentosa & Universal Studios invest some much needed love back into it.

I hope this helps others who are thinking about visiting in March/April...

Universal Studios Singapore was the latest addition to Singapore’s attractions list. Opened in 2010, Universal Studios Singapore has seven themed sections with countless rides and shows, all related to major hit movies. The park is part of the US$4.5 billion Resorts World Sentosa Development. Start off in Hollywood. Strolling down Hollywood Boulevard will make you think that you’re in the States, not in a tropical Asian country. This is the main shopping area of the park. New York is based of course on the city of New York and here you can have your photo snapped with ‘movie stars’ such as Charlie Chaplin and Marilyn Monroe. Continue on to Sci-Fi city featuring a pair of the world’s tallest intertwining roller coasters among other things and then to Ancient Egypt where you will be faced with two massive guard statues. The atmosphere is truly that of ancient Egypt so get in to experience the ‘Revenge of the Mummy’ ride, a must for adults but not quite the best thing...
