I had been to Universal Studios when I live in Los Angeles for a few months, years ago. So, I did not bother to visit it so far in Singapore where it is one of the major tourist attractions. But this time, when my wife and daughter were here to spend their summer vacation, We had taken a season pass which allows multiple entries into the studios for a period of 6 months. The studios in Singapore is not as big as its US counterpart. May be, Half the size or even less. The studio is located in the popular Sentosa Islands which you can get into by alighting at the harbor front MRT.
Though I am not a big buff of theme parks and entertainment shows. I have to admit that a sense of fun filled excitement surrounds you once you enter the studios. People from multiple countries, ear ripping music, spectacular shows, spine chilling rides, etc. Mummy & Transformer are the popular rides in the studios though there are many others within the park. My daughter quickly became an ardent fan of Mummy in which they take us in a high speed roller coaster that travels inside a dark tunnel with the temperature brought down by a few degrees. All this result in a super duper, butterflies in the stomach experience which unconsciously makes you ask for more. Transformer is again a marvelous ride that taken you into the a world of virtual reality where your car is being attacked by aliens. This is not too painful for the neck and shoulders and is an experience not to be missed. There are other shows like the shriek and the water world. The parade at 5 PM is a spectacle to watch with characters from popular movies going on a procession inside the studios. We have visited the studios 3 times till now and plan to visit it a couple more times before our passes expire.
