Singapore : Universal Studios

Universal Studios is a theme park located inside Sentosa Island within Resorts World Sentosa.  It is the second Universal Studios that opened in Asia, next to Japan and the first in Southeast Asia.  The construction of the theme park began on April 19, 2008 and  had its soft opening from March 18, 2010 to October 26, 2010. 

A sneak peek of the Universal Studios, though the rides was not yet in operation, was held in celebration of the Chinese New Year between February 14 to 21, 2010.  The tickets was sold at SG$10  but was consumed/sold out in just 2 days. The official opening of the theme park was held on May 28, 2011.  It was first enjoyed by Universal Studios family members before the public from March 13, 2010.

Universal Studios Singapore is a theme park that is offering a promise of one great experience that you will never forget!  Make sure to be at the park before the opening because there's a long queue at the  ticketing area. 

The theme park opens at 10am and closes at 7pm from Monday to Fridays and Sundays, and on Saturdays it still opens at 10am and closes at 8pm. 

baby James so excited to enter Universal Studios


The theme park is 20 hectares in size with 24 attractions, wherein the 18 attractions were original and adapted just for Universal Studios Singapore. The park has seven themed zones: Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, Far Far Away and Madagascar.  We started the other way around...



 We saw Woody Woodpecker right away, so we took photos at once 

si Daddy excited!

our map coordinator, Kuya JP...he will decide which ride we will  go first


We wouldn't let pass a photo with Betty Boop...she's teaching us the best poses 


The Madagascar themed zone

Our first ride for the day, Madagascar: A Crate Adventure

Far Far Away 

We were greeted by Pinocchio at the Far Far Away Zone
We watched the Shrek 4-D Adventure, a show based on the movie Shrek and his quest on saving his Princess Fiona!  It was a very entertaining show, my 4 kids really enjoyed the show... I wish I can always bring them here...

Janelle really wants to get one

My favorite attraction : Waterworld...I made a separate blog on this =)

The Lost Worlds : Waterworld and Jurassic Park


Ancient Egypt

Taking photos under the scorching heat of the sun...Hope that Universal Studios has a centralized airconditioning system, haha=) wish! The temperature is so humid...bring extra clothes for yourself and for your  kids as the heat is unforgivable.

The good thing in Universal Studios Singapore is that they have installed several drinking fountains all over the theme park... You won't need to worry being thirsty here the whole day... Good job Universal Studios =)





 Sci Fi City




The heat can make you feel so tired...so we sit for a while 

baby James was sleeping on me, but when we saw the casts of Sesame Street, we wake him up... He was starstrucked I guess =)

Janelle is so excited to meet Ernie =)

This was the only place in Universal Studios where we saw my kumareng Irene, Oliver and Nice...and then we parted ways again, hahaha =)

At the New York themed Zone there is one attraction that you shouln't miss... the Lights! Camera! Action! hosted by Steven Spielberg.  It is a sound stage where you would actually see and experience an almost real hurricane about to hit New York City.  It was so fantastic and unbelievably amazing! Superb! Two thumbs up!

I was so busy watching I forgot to take photos... This photo was extracted from www.rwsentosa.com

We went back to the Lost World Zone for the Jurassic Park Adventure Rapids. I know this attraction will make us all wet, so we made it our last ride. We rushed to this attraction because it's already 6:45pm on our clocks...Glad we made it! The dinosaurs rock!!!

We proceeded to Far Far Away Zone to see if there are still rides open...we are making the most of our time.  This picture was taken at 7pm.  The sun is still there =)



All we can say is that we're going back here!!! Fun! Fun! Fun! All the rides and attractions are AWESOME!!!
