Resorts World Sentosa - Universal Studios Singapore Part I

Last week, my boss brought all of us to Universal Studios as Q4 gathering. We were really surprised because the last few times, what we did was just the boring stuff a.k.a bowling and forest adventure. Anyway he said it's the last quarter and the other departments have all went to USS and it's about time we go!

We each get 1 McDonald set delivered to our cube for lunch. Not really McD delivery coz it's my colleagues who went to McD to pick up all the sets and hand deliver to us huhuhuh. So they had to use the trolley and pushed all the set in boxes to our cubes and then everyone was just walking around munching on fries and burger.

It takes us around 20 minutes to drive into Sentosa Island and parking was freaking expensive. S$26 per car! Doesn't matter to us because we can claim it but still, S$26???


This was taken the night after when I was in Vivocity opposite the island.

If you're going in groups, it's better to get your ticket early at Resorts World Sentosa website. We went on a Friday so it's S$66 per person. Weekends are S$72 per person. This ticket is valid for 1 day entry, S$5 voucher (you can buy anything in any souvenir shops) and S$5 food voucher only until 7pm. After 7pm, is consider Hollywood Night and it's priced at $5 or something.



I don't know man. I would think twice about going again because the weather is really NOT SUITABLE FOR OUTDOOR PARKS like this at all! Imagine queuing for rides and shows under hot sun sweating like crazy and when you go in the show, the guy sitting next to you stinks like crazy shit?

My experience with Universal Studios Hollywood is back in December 2006 in Los Angeles and mind you, that was winter and we had an awesome time! But this? I was practically sun burnt and all sweaty and uncomfortable. Sigh. But free entrance. I really shouldn't complain.

This USS is a mini version of the real LA Universal Studios. It was really small, a bit unworthy of the S$66. Basically it was divided into

(1) Madagascar
(2) Far far away - Shrek
(3) New York
(4) Sci-Fi City. The biggest Galactica roller coaster is not officially open yet.
(5) Hollywood
(6) Ancient Egypt.

Sounds a lot? Nah! Each park is the mini version. If you walk straight, 5 minutes is more than enough to pass by the whole Madagascar section. You see? So sad.

Anyway my point is if you've been to the LA Universal Studios, I doubt you'll really enjoy this one. All the shows are the exact same one showing and for those new ones, are just simplified versions of what you see in the real deal.

Ok, be right back with Resorts World Sentosa- Universal Studios Singapore Part II !
