If you go on off peak days (Sundays-Thursdays) the ticket will cost SGD for an SGD 69 an adult Singapore resident and SGD 53 for a child ticket. You can buy the Universal Studios Singapore Ticket online to avoid the queue or you can buy it on the spot.

To reach the theme park, you have to be in the Sentosa Island first. You can reach it by car, by taking the RWS bus from the Vivo City bus station or taking the Singapore Express Train from Vivo City level 3. If you are taking the Sentosa Express Train, make sure to alight at the Resort World Station. Walk towards the Universal Studios sign and you will be greeted by a giant globe in front of the park. If you want to spend a night or two and go back to the Universal Studios, you can try to stay in Hotel Michael or Hard Rock Hotel Singapore.

The themes and Rides

The Hollywood Boulevard

Upon entering, you will be at the Hollywood Boulevard that takes homage to the Hollywood Golden Era and replicas of movie theatre and Hollywood star sign. You can learn how the movie production goes on and catch a great performance of your favourite character in the Pantages! There are also merchandises from different characters, so you can try to check it out.

adorable decoration of shops and the road itself!

Sci-Fi City

Sci-fi city is where the famous Battlestar Galactica is located. The first ride of the day in Universal Studios Singapore is that massive roller coaster, Cylon track and were only both of us in the whole 'spaceship'. The blue line is "cylon" track, while the red one is "human" track. Your legs are hanging at the cylon track and there is 360 degree turn, while human is  like the usual roller coaster with fast acceleration and sharp turn. I must say that the Cylon is the most thrilling ride of all!

Revenge of the Mummy
You will see Egyptian decoration in this area.  The indoor roller coaster is very nice! It has a story line, backward acceleration, and great movie effect! You have to try it by yourself, seriously! There is another family ride, but we didn't have enough time to try it.

The Lost World

The iconic Lost World celebrated 65 years in the making of the movie when the park opened. The ride is called Canopy flyer, we tried it twice. It's like a mini roller coaster where your legs hanging. It's fun that you can have a 'fast sightseeing' hahaha. Oh ya, they also have that kind of fast river boat, ready to get splashed!

Far Far away

Who doesnt know Shrek and the Far Far Away Kingdom? Catch a 4d movie inside the theatre, the show, and get a ride on the roller coaster too! I honestly think besides of the interesting 4D movie, it's great for taking a break and enjoying the aircon. Don't forget to take a picture in front of the iconic castle.

Madagascar

Madagascar is one of my favourite cartoons, so as you know! haha I couldnt stand the pretty tropical decor! Sadly one of their massive rides has not open yet, so we could not try that one.

Net black top, Max and more grey vest, Mango sateen shorts, Converse patchwork jeans sneakers, unbranded woven fedora, Aldo sunnies

just a simple and comfortable outfit for playing around at the theme park

New York avenue

We had dinner at Mel's Drive In located at the heart of Universal Studios Singapore. We had the set meal, the size of the burger is huge and I honestly love their friends. Their interior decoration is very pretty too! There are music juke box, neon lights, and iconic diner sofa. The vintage 60s decor will remind you of Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction. We entered right before dinner time while there were not many people, but when we finished eating, the whole place is full.

Hollywood Boulevard at Night - Fireworks Show

Later at night, there was a firework display celebrating the opening of Universal Studios Singapore, but it also happens every other night. It's a great way to complete your adventure at the park. To end the day, we dropped by the Souvenir shops to buy some merchandises and some chocolates. These shops close a bit later compared to the rides, so you can also get back later to shop.

In Conclusion

The Universal Studios Singapore and the whole Resort World Sentosa is a geat getaway in Singapore for adult and children alike. I think, the theme park is nicely arranged, they decorate it to the max, have awesome rides, a lot of food stalls and restaurant, and great merchandise stores. It is like carefully selected and planned despite their space which is not really massive. We are lucky that we could try almost all the rides, especially those rides-you-shouldnt-miss and we didnt encounter long queue. I hope the post can give overall picture of the venue. Well, of course to feel the thrill and excitement you have to find out and try it by yourself, and I hope you will have great fun and excitement as we did :)
