Singapore is definitely one of the most fun places to visit with the entire family. There is no shortage of things to do, see, and experience in this bustling metropolis which provides hours of exiting excursions and adventures that can be enjoyed by young and old alike. Theme parks are always a family favourite and when in Singapore, there is none better to visit than Universal Studios.
Part of Resorts World Sentosa, this popular theme park and its many thrill-a-second rides offer plenty of pulse-pounding experiences that will take your breath away. The fact that most of these rides are based on popular Hollywood blockbuster movies only adds to its enthral and takes one on an unforgettable journey that goes way beyond the experience at the cinema.
With so many rides on offer, visitors are going to have a hard time choosing which one to try as they explore the different themed zones at Universal Studios. Head to Ancient Egypt where you will be transported to an ancient civilisation and where you will come face-to-face with the Revenge of the Mummy! This indoor rollercoaster is a truly unique experience and since it takes place mainly in the dark and features fireballs and warrior mummies, only adds to the sheer thrill of it all.
Fans of dinosaurs can head to The Lost World’s Jurassic Park era where you can travel back in time as it were. The Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure will take one on a raft ride like no other as you encounter prehistoric creatures from one of the earliest reaches of time. Not to be missed is the Canopy Flyer where one can enjoy a bird’s eye views and the WaterWorld show where jaw-dropping stunts take centre stage.
Kids are also bound to love Shrek 4-D Adventure, the Enchanted Airways, which is a type of roller coaster for children and Madagascar: A Crate Adventure featuring characters from the animated movie hit. Of course, no mention of Universal Studios Singapore is complete without talking about Sci-Fi City where you will find the adrenaline-rush-inducing, duelling roller coasters known as Battlestar Galactica. Reaching speeds of up to 82 km/h, this unique coaster will most certainly provide thrill seekers with a ride they will not soon forget!
