Transformers Ride Universal Studios Singapore Opens!
It is Official! Transformers The Ride opens in Universal Studios Singapore on 3 Dec 2011. The Ultimate 3D Battle is billed as a hyper-realistic 3D thrill ride, set in the futuristic world of Transformers. This world had creative inputs from Michael Bay, no less, the director-producer of the movie franchise. He was there too at the grand opening at USS.
This is the world premier of the world’s first theme park attraction based on the Transformers franchise. Transformers fans will get to ride inside a newly created Autobot called EVAC and whizz through tunnels, cityscapes and across rooftops in 3D and more! Fans will be transformed into the battle between the Autobot and the Decepticons. The Transformers ride will last about four minutes.
Special year-end holiday packages for Universal Studios Singapore will be launched via the Resorts World Sentosa website and travel agents.

Marina Bay Sands Skypark Promotion
The Marina Bay Sands Skypark has a special offer! Purchase your MBS Skypark tickets and show them at the box office and get $20 off The Lion King musical tickets. As usual, terms and conditions apply.
The Marina Bay Sands Sky park stands at 57 stories high, towering even above the nearby Singapore Flyer. The view visitors will receive is akin to gazing down upon Singapore from atop a mountain. The really spacious observation deck offers near 360 degree view around the Marina Bay Sands. It is also uniquely designed like the deck of a ship.
On the other end of this deck is the equally breathtaking infinity pool. Water drops off the edge as though off the sides of the building. Water and sky meets together here. Do note that large areas of the pool area are off limits to non-hotel guests.
Guests can also enjoy fine cuisines at the KU DÉ TA restaurant while taking in the view. Choose from buffet breakfasts, business lunches, long dinners, easy brunches and relaxing teas. This is the only restaurant at the public Marina Bay Sands Skypark area.

Universal Studios Singapore Top 5 Attractions
Now that Universal Studios Singapore has had their grand opening, let Travel Agency Singapore give you what we think are the Top 5 attractions.
1. Battlestar Galactica: Human vs. Cylon
Going into Sci-Fi City, you will find that this zone is rather empty. There is good reason for that, because the biggest, meanest ride of Universal Studios Singapore stands tall here. The Battlestar Galactica is the world’s tallest dueling roller coasters! One look at the blue and red twisted skeleton of the ride is enough to give you jelly legs.
Based on the classic hit TV series, you can choose the blue side (Cylon) or the red side (Human). The Cylon Raider is a suspended roller coaster that will leave your legs free, and performs vertical loops, corkscrews and cobra rolls. The Human Viper Mk II is a seated roller coaster that launches you up fourteen storeys and hit speeds of 90km/h. At many points along the ride, you will experience twists, turns and near collisions.
This is a must-ride for the thrill seeker.
2. Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure
Located in The Lost World, the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure is a white water raft ride with animatronics and a thrilling white water drop. You sit on circular rafts and get tossed and spun around on waterways. Depending on your luck, you can get soaking wet, or just get a light spray of water on your head.
This ride is medium on thrills, but high on fun. When temperatures in Singapore hit 35 degrees Celsius, you’ll be glad to get wet!
3. Revenge of the Mummy
Just past the ancient pyramids and towering statues, you will reach the Revenge of the Mummy ride. This is a high-speed thrill ride in total darkness that travels through sharp turns, full rotation and fast reverse. You can attempt to avoid huge fireballs, flesh-eating scarab beetles and an army of merciless warrior mummies.
This attraction ranks high on thrills. You will get scared of the dark again. If the sun gets too hot in Universal Studios Singapore, this is a great choice because… air-con!
4. Madagascar A Crate Adventure
Great family fun! Go on an indoor river boat adventure as you arrive at the shores of Madagascar with Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria. Features: animatronics, digital projection, evocative sound, and moving show-action effects. The brilliant but crazy penguins will be there too!
This family friendly ride is suitable for children of all ages.
5. Shrek 4D
Feel as though you are part of a Shrek movie! In this indoor attraction, you will help save Princess Fiona in an original adventure. See it in 3D and actually feel the effects! Air blasts and water spray complete the 4D.
Before the ride, get swept into the story as various Shrek characters talk directly to you. Good fun and deserves a spot in our top 5!

Universal Studios Singapore Grand Opening
On 28 May 2011, Universal Studios Singapore will have their official grand opening! This comes slightly more than a year after the soft opening on 18 March 2010. A host of activities and events had been planned.
The celebrations start off with a Red Carpet Action on the evening of 27 May that can be viewed live at RWS website www.rwsentosa.com Among the star studded guests expected at Universal Studios Singapore are Jet Li, Paula Abdul and Maggie Cheung. Arnold Schwarzenegger was initially invited but had to pull out due to personal reasons.
Starting at 10am on 28 May, the grand opening activities include a stunning stunt show and a grand procession. The biggest stars of Universal Studios Singapore will strut their stuff at the procession. Stars like Marilyn Monroe, Woody Woodpecker, Betty Boop, Shrek and Princess Fiona, and the Madagascar gang.
Tourists and locals alike are likely to be happy with the grand opening of the theme park. After much delay, two of the star attractions are finally up and running. The Battlestar Galactica dueling coasters re-opened in Feb this year. Madagascar: A Crate Adventure also opened earlier this month.
There will also be a special promotion for F&B within Universal Studios Singapore for a whole week. More details at RWS website.
