RebeccaRoxanne on fitness, health & weight loss: Universal Love

Before I start, be forewarn that this post is extremely photo-intensive! So, let the story begins. Last week was one of the most anticipated day in recent years because I went Universal Studios Singapore with my friends and Sissy (informal sister)! I have been telling people around me how excited I was because it’s the first time I am visiting a theme park in 21 years of my life (turning 22 in 2days #yay ). Because you know what, I could finally meet up with the Madagascar, Puss in Boots, Shrek, the Elmo, and even Cleopatra.

Being a kid again :)

Hello Universal Studio Singapore!

We arrived at about 1 pm and the place was not very packed since it wasn't a weekend and Singapore school holidays just ended . I was very impressed with the architectures, buildings and design because they are gorgeous! I don’t feel like I’m in Singapore once I stepped into the park.

People were queuing up to take photo with him, but I manage to quickly snap a picture of him. LMAO.

The Castle

Our first stop was the Mummy ride. The main ride within this zone is Revenge of the Mummy, an Egyptian-themed indoor roller coaster. As you enter the building, you will walk through a narrow maze decorated with Egyptian artifacts. It was quite dark in there but once you are seated, you’ll begin having a surprising journey with a great story telling. The ride involves a backward motion, twisting and spinning and actually I don’t know what exactly they do to us, but really, this is a must ride if you happen to visit USS.

I obviously loveeee Ancient Egypt! Well, I've never been to Egypt before, but this zone really has so many amazing HUGE statues and artifacts. It just looks so authentic to me. In conclusion, the ride is AMAZING! However, if your spouse or partners or friends do not like thrill ride, please don’t try this! I almost died that day on the Revenge of the Mummy’s ride and it was true. I swear I’m never going to take this ride again.

Ancient Egypt

So we proceed to the Sci-Fi City. The main ride here are Battlestar Galactica and Transformer, which is the most exciting and thrilling ride attraction in Universal Studio. My expectations were extremely high based on what I'd read and seen about it online but I am pleased to say that I was still absolutely blown away by the experience. I swear! Simply breath taking.

Here, you’ll ride a futuristic vehicle through an amazing transformer world and then you’ll be moving from one 3D scene to another. This ride has so many bumps, backward motion, fog, sound effect, and even a ‘falling’ effect. The 3D is so good that you want to reach out and touch stuff. You genuinely feel like you are in the middle of a battle in a Transformers movie. There was one moment when you are suddenly whipped into an office building and you crash the tables and then you crashed into the window and fall to the street and the transformer saved you. It was sooo fast, it has a great senses of speed, direction and turn and everything happens so fast! It's something that you just need to experience for yourself.

We managed to seat at front rows and you can feel the adrenalin rush through your blood vessel (Two thumbs up for the ride).

After the Transformers sickness any other ride in the park was bound to seem lame. I really should have left it for later instead of blowing my load so soon.

My third favourite part of Universal Studios, after Mummy and Transformers was New York Street (last zone). Not a ride, but one of the many food and beverage outlets. Outside in the parking lot there were cute guys singing songs from the 50s / 60s.
