Universal Studio Singapore - Sci Fi City

This is Sci Fi City. The roller coaster was not opened yet cause it did not pass the safety test. I think the chairs are not suitable and they are replacing with stronger and safer chairs.

There's the red and blue track. The blue track goes up, around and upside down with intense corkscrews and cobra roll (according to the information I found on the guide.)

While the red track zoom at speeds of 90 km/h, the seated coaster narrowly avoids collisions as it twists, turns and propels you over 14 storeys into the air. (information from the guide.)

Oh my, I am not going in any of the red or blue track....not for the faint hearted or elderly or kids.

Not easy for these entertainers, besides wearing thick costumes, some got to be on stilts.



A short video showing the fun guests have at the theme park.


This is the accelerator that whirl and twirl. Oh my, I have to close my eyes cause I can feel that I am seeing things going round and round...lol.

I did not take much photos of the rest of the Sci Fi City. There's a spray mist to cool visitors at the park.

Universal Studio Singapore - Drinking Fountain


The drinks in the theme park can be quite costly for some. There's a lot of these drinking fountains all around the theme park. So you can easily drink from them or refill your water bottles. I prefer to look for coffee to keep awake for the long hours I spend at the theme park...lol.

My World Tuesday - Universal Studio Singapore - Taking photos with Puss in Boots

This is my favourite part in the theme park. These mascots are so lovable and huggable. Many children queue to have their photos taken with Puss In Boots.



There's this little girl who really likes Puss In Boots that she asked for his autograph. So cute.

I was just sitting beside the photo taking station and I just aim my camera just to capture the action of people queueing to have their photos taken with Puss In Boots. Suddenly Puss in Boots turned to my side and just posed for me. So nice. I quickly snap a photo of him..hahaha. I thought his eyes are charming and adorable. Now you can see the kid in me...lol.

One of my favourite photo at Universal Studio Singapore.

Universal Studio Singapore - Madagascar

This is the set of Madagascar in the theme park. You will feel like dancing in here cause the music is so much fun.


The set in here is so colourful. You can have your photos taken with your own camera or by the professional photographer. It cost S$12 for the photo to be taken by the professional photographer. The photo looked so good and well taken by the professional photographer that I bought it although I thought it was quite expensive.

Everyone love taking photos with the characters of Madagascar.




They are so cute and hugggable.

There's a little restaurant in here where they sold mostly thai food and some asian favourites.
There is a river boat ride at Madagascar but it is not open yet.

Universal Studio Singapore - Shrek and friends in Far Far Away


Shrek 4D Adventure - this is real interesting and fun and enjoyable show. A must see for all. No photography or videography allowed inside.

Shrek's sidekick - donkey and his babies.

Magic Potion Spin - a ferris wheel for children in Fairy Godmother's Potion Shop. I went in for the ride to accompany my niece...lol

Skywatch Friday - Far Far Away Castle

I love the castle in the Universal Studio Theme Park. It looked real huge. Shriek and Fiona lived in there.





You have to be familar with the movie of Shrek to understand all the buildings and characters there.

The frog is the king of Far Far Away Land.

I love the movie of Shrek and I watch all the four movies of Shrek. Oh Did I mentioned about Donkey, Shrek's side kick? I bought a costume of donkey not the whole costume but just the ears and tail cause I got a S$5 discount voucher. Was quite fun. I really enjoy my visit there.

For other sky watchers, please hop over to Skywatch Blog.

Universal Studio Singapore - Lights, Camera Action hosted by Steven Spielberg

You might miss this set cause it was located in between several buildings in the New York Set. Best to arm yourself with a map of the studio guide to locate the different rides/shows.

Inside is the setting of a major hurricane about to hit New York City - we get to feel what a real hurricane is. Too bad, photography and videography are not allowed inside the set. But then I dont want to spoil the fun, you have to visit the feel the excitement.

Universal Studio - New York

This part of the Universal Studio was modelled after New York.

Oh I am interested in the Yellow Cab. It's colour looked so striking and beautiful.








They even have a New York subway model in the theme park.



I love taking photo of attractive doors.

Loui's NY Pizza Parlor - The pizza in here looked so yummy but I did not take the pizza cause I had my meal at the Jurassic Park food court earlier . My photos are not in the right order of my visit. I think I will come another in the "after hours" where the rides are closed and they charged only $5 for the visit (without rides/shows). I will talk about the "after hour visit" in later post.

A performer playing the saxophone, it looked as if I am in the streets of New York....cool.


A shop selling various hats and many just try on the hats on display just to have their photos taken.

For adults, the price of the ticket on a weekday is $66 and for child is $48 and for senior citizen (age 65 and above) is $32.

For weekends, the price of the tickets for adult is $72, for child is $52 and for senior citizen is $36.

There are different types of tickets like annual pass and express tickets (where you can jump queues), you can view their official website for more information.
