There is nothing quite like Universal Studios Singapore. A tiny theme park that is the only one of its kind not owned by Universal and home to unique rides including Battlestar Galactica, Transformers, The Mummy, Shrek and more.

The mummy had the best que and it was fun. We went on it 10 times. The big dueling roller coaster is not worth the wait. If we didnt have fast passes, we wouldnt go on it.

I always find this park interesting as it's layout is very much a mashup of the original Universal Studios park and Islands of Adventure. I wish they had named it something different to distinguish it a bit as it is a weird hybrid of both parks in Orlando. Universal Studios Beijing feels very similar as well.

As an annual passholder for around 20 years of my life. I grew up going to the Orlando park. Now that I live in Las Vegas. I frequently will go to that park as well. Both are different despite having some of the same attractions. Universal Singapore reminds me of how Universal Studios FL was laid out. I only visited Singapore for around 3 days. But my sole purpose for that visit was to cross Universal Singapore off my bucket list. Now I've just got to make it to the Osaka and Beijing parks.

"Small" but has more attractions than hollywood. Honestly, the bigger park can be a chore, one spends more time walking between attractions than on them. And in Singapore weather, walking is a huge turn off xD

Does it have more attraction? Hollywood has so much more to offer. They have Harry Potter and Nintendo world. And also the studio bus ride that no other park has.

Universal Studios Singapore is definitely an underrated theme park! The reset itself is impressive, and was designed by Micheal Graves architects (the hotel even takes that name) and so features impressive landscaping and architecture!

Before minion park, there used to be a Madagascar style theme land which has an Carocell and a dark boat ride as it’s attractions. Both are great and I missed them very much Edit: I’m quite shocked we are somehow the cheapest universal studios as it’s one of the most expensive tourist attractions in Singapore(the food is very expensive also but yeh)

I was there earlier in the year and every time I got to the front of the Puss in Boots line, it would breakdown. It happened 3 times, each time after a ~40 minute wait. Never seen anything like it. An alarm would go off, all the staff would run into a little room and lock the door, and they’d tell everyone to leave the line.

I’ve been to this many times since the beginning (being related to the owners, even went on a tour before the park even officially opened). With the connection I have, I’ve never had to wait for anything, so I was spoiled. On a weekday, this park can be done in half a day. The best offering at this park is actually the Halloween Horror Nights. It’s very different from the other ones because they do their own storylines and don’t use horror movies as themes (so they don’t need to pay for IP). Good review though!

I still prefer the Orlando Mummy over the Singapore one, as I think the fake ending scene is way more of a "wow" moment. Besides that, I totally agree with you. However during my visit in 2020 (few weeks before covid closures) I had the impression that everything felt more used / run down and less well maintained compared to Orlando.

Great theme park, but unfortunately the rides are often neglected in maintenance. Many elements don’t work in the rides e.g. the T-Rex in the river rapids. Also for some reason they still haven’t released annual pass either, they stopped after Covid but haven’t brought it back? Anyway nice seeing a review from you about another universal park, let alone one in the country I live in.

Been a while since I went to USS when it's newly opened. Since then I've been to Disneysea and USJ a bunch of times. Looking forward to return to USS once Minions opened. Though it's the same as USJ ride, it's still miles better than Transformers Ride imo.

In your opinion if deciding between a family holiday to Singapore and Universal or the the Gold Coast theme parks, which would you recommend 😮

@ReviewTyme 9 ай бұрын

This is a tough question if you're already here in Australia. USS is better than any of the theme parks here for families (and will be better next year when Minions opens). However there is only one theme park where the Gold Coast has many. As a city outside of the parks though Singapore is 100x better than the GC in our opinion!

I went in April and was bitterly disappointed. The operations were terrible with queues well over two hours for all attractions and an overselling of fast pass. Managed to get on just three rides all day. A big chunk of the park is closed for Nintendoland being built. The Waterworld Show was closed. Half the food options were closed. The gift shop around the Mummy Ride was boarded up.

Also half the lockers were broken and the fact they charge so much money for a single use and you get metal detected before going on a coaster is ridiculous.

I went to USS on 2022, and I was traveling alone. The wait time for the coaster was like 90 mins and I snuck my phone in with me in the queue only to learn that I was not allowed to bring my phone with me and should have locked it in the locker. They still let me onto the coaster since I’ve waited that long. But it’s crazy to think universal thinks people should wait in line for 90 fucking mins without their phones with them??? What am I supposed to do for 90 mins in the queue?

@arex9000 9 ай бұрын

It is the "worst" Universal park, however, it's not bad either. I think it's fun if you have an extra day to kill and go. If you are limited on your vacation, I would skip it even if you are a hardcore shrek fan. Shrek doesn't look as pretty as the photos. My husband and I enjoyed it because we had the time to go and would go if we were a local. It does remind me of old school universal because it's hard to feel like you are in this land if you can see two other parks next to it. Disney def has that down and jk rowling demanding it really helped the parks.

It’s not really fair to compare it with Hong Kong Disneyland cos this park is just really disappointing and frustrating. Hong Kong Disneyland is the smallest one but imo still offers very good thematic experiences and quite a lot of unique rides and shows, and the service quality and overall park maintenance is on par or even better than the other parks, given the state of Disney world rn. Hong Kong Disneyland still feels like a classic Disneyland, but USS feels like a regional park that’s just using universal’s branding. Almost like a knock off.
