Went to Universal Studios Singapore some time ago to celebrate the start of the block leave with some of my classmates. Sad to say it was raining throughout the morning, and even more damning was that many of the more high-profile attractions were down due to repair/inclement weather. Then again, the rain kept many people away, and as a result we could do almost anything we wanted without the hassle of queuing up.

After lunch at the food court (which is YET another tourist trap, with exorbitant prices and substandard imitations of hawker fare). The only reason we chose to dine there was due to the $10 dining voucher that was included as part of the ticket (there's another $5 retail coupon as well).

The crowd level started to pick up in the afternoon and there were long queues at many attractions. Sadly to say, the Singapore theme park, though heavily branded and promoted, seems smaller in size than its contemporaries in other countries. Yet it is a good place to experience the a world famous theme park brand without venturing overseas (and getting disillusioned by the notoriously inefficient Hong Kong Disneyland). And generally many agree that Universal Studios is much more crowd friendly than Disneyland. Also USS appeals to people of all age groups, and is not only focused on milking money from star-struck kids meeting their favourite cartoon characters. At least USS offers attractions from a wide range of genres and time periods.

All in all, the $72 would have been money well spent if not for the closure of Jurassic Park Rapid Adventure and the much-hyped about Battlestar Galatica. Good place to spend the day with a group of friends- enjoying the attractions and taking loads of photographs. I bought a cap from the gift shop as well for memories sake (and to use up that retail coupon)

Now for the photos..


That day was just not our lucky day..
