Lakbay-freak: Universal Studios Singapore

There is no better time to go in a theme park but in off peak season. Our time of visit was perfect, it's a sunny day, small crowd and almost no queue at all from the ticket booth and to the rides. We were at the park from 12noon 'til 7pm and have tried about 80% of the park's rides and amusements. Taking pictures was also great with less people that could mess up your shots. Going to the park, we got off the Harbourfront station and walk through the Vivo City to the Boardwalk. We did not take the monorail to take pictures at the Boardwalk. Park tickets cost S$68 per adult for 1 day non-peak.

Transformers The Ride 3D. One of the most popular attractions, it's a thrill, 3D video ride on a simulator with 3D effects that makes you feel part of the action.

Transformers The Ride

Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride. For me, this is better that the Transformers, don't miss this. It's a horror ride, you get into a coaster, the ride starts with fast acceleration into darkness followed with heart-pounding and frightening special effects awaits you at every turn. You cannot bring anything inside, even pockets should be empty, lockers are provided free for 30 minutes.

Revenge of the Mummy Ride

Battlestar Galactica Cylon. This is the baddest roller coaster ride I have ever been on. It's a suspended roller coaster on the blue track and runs at the same time with Human on the red track. Cylon has different maneuvers like rolls, corkscrews, loops with a plunge of 5 meters deep. You cannot also bring anything inside, put everything in the locker.

Cylon Photo - S$20

Battlestar Galactica Human. This is a seated coaster that runs on the red track. This one has no inversions but you get more G-force experience than Cylon. Also leave your things in the locker.
