Lynn - Universal Studio

Yes you got it right from the title. I, Miss Lynn Ong Shu Ling had just conquer Universal and am back in the office sitting and staring into space.

Got a chance to go over as it is a sneak preview for hoteliers from 0900hrs to 1430hrs. For peeps who are not so keen, this is a truly must go, the pricing is definitely worth it. I'm impress with the setup and different venues available.

High velocity rides, you got it, they have many thrill rides from all over, land, water and air, you name it.

Metup with Emily, Carol, Lirong and Ying Ying at Mac. My order, Breakfast deluxe!! Its the dream combination of hotcakes and big breakfast. Of course I can't finish my meal, sharing the super huge potion with Emily.

After breakfast, on our way to US duh... Got on to Sentosa Express, and thanks to Kelvin we gotta pay, S$3.00 bucks per person. Initial information from Kelvin is that the ride is complimentary. Believe that message got twisted somewhere.

5 mins later we are where we are, Universal Studio, to be hones the only theme park that I went to is Disney Land at Hong Kong. I'm truly amaze that Singapore is finally awaking with themeparks. The interior is breathtaking. I can't believe that I'm still in Singapore.

The best 5 rides that I like to recommend are:

1) Human
This is the red track roller coaster. This is not as high velocity as the blue track but as the ride is very naked. It do not have the train like shell to protect the seats and the holder is very naked, it is only a bar metal to at your tummy. I love the trill of flying around without the support. Hmm this makes me wonder if I should consider doing a bunggy jump.

2) Cylon
This is the blue track roller coaster. These 2 are definitely the top of my list and the highlight of the attraction. First time taking suspension ride, very refreshing however I don't like the idea that I'm looking at the sky all the time.

3) Rapid Adventure
This is at the Lost World, it is a raft ride that goes through obstacle and rapid current that makes us WET. You got it we are damn wet as if there is a downpour... The details, you need to experience yourself not gonna tell you much... Oh do smile at the dinosaur if you see any, otherwise you are in for the surprise.

4) Revenge of the Mummy
Another roller coaster, however as it is an indoor ride, it is very dark that you are unable to see the track. Lirong and I are freak out as we are afriad of false alarm. The overall ride damn amazing there are some suprises and you are looking foward for what's gonna happen.

5) Shrek 4-D
I do not know if this is a show of a ride, but this is damn good. The only flaws that I find is that comparing to Disney, it is a smaller version as Disney have a very very damn wide screen that really make the 4-D effect but Shrek had a screen as big as a G-Max. I still love it nontheless.

The show that you need to catch is the Waterworld show. You are place up close with all the explosion and action, thus guys are in for the move this is the one!!!

You must explore the New York!! They have the subway and library... Now I know why they have a song Empire State!! New York is full of Empire, they have the Empire departmental store, hotel and much more...

Lunch at Mel's drive thru. Awesome!!! We purchase the S$10 dining voucher, and it is damn worth it. The meal is only S$8.80 its cheaper than I thought.

Conclusion from the trip, people going try to avoid bringing big bags unless you have people to look after. Rental of locker is damn expensive and I believe that there is not many to go around with the public. Be in casual to get all soak and wet. After all the calculation, less than S$100 is spent in the place. This is cheaper than clubbing ^_^

Look out for facebook with all the posting and tagging. You will be able to get a better idea of the venues.
