First time in Universal Studios Singapore
This might be a month old late but back then I don't have words to blog, anyway since it was our very first might as well to document it here in my little space online.
I've done my research and since we only have 3 days to enjoy our Singapore trip we ended up not getting the tour package instead we've done another D.I.Y travel.
If you are a reader from my previous blog hi! but if not we're a bag packers couple we usually do D.I.Y travels, from constant research on budget friendly tourist spot to hotels, everything must be done with a great RESEARCH.
Sept. 27-30 2017 is our prepared date it is advisable to not travel to Singapore during peak season because it gets too crowded specially on September due to their grand prix season. Expect a 10% up to 20% higher rates in hotel and because this trip is impromtu and we only have 1 month to prepare we research from the lowest airfare, hotel bookings to activities that we wanna try.
On our USS day, we woke up early, had our long walk just to find a money changer, around 10am we had our breakfast at Bugis St., then we are now lost everybody hahaha.
We opted to take a grab from Bugis to Sentosa but the grab driver actually don't know how to communicate in english so I have to cancel the ride.
And we don't have choice but to use the MRT and be a local.
Since I don't want to waste our time, I ask my froggy to understand their railway it is because he is street smart and I'm not.
Tip no.1: Ask the locals. Singaporeans specially the millennials are willing to help just ask them.
It was 12 noon when we arrived at USS good thing we already purchased our ticket online we don't need to wait for a long cue of line just to buy ticket or enter the park.
And since we only have atleast 5 hrs. left to explore the park there is no room for quick break since we want to finish the park without availing the express fast.
Tip no. 2: Start with Thrilling rides
To be able to finish this whole Universal Studios Singapore, we started to ride all the extreme rides first.
Here are the lists of our favorites: Follow these rides to maximize your time. Save your Thank you's later hahaha
- Revenge of the Mummy
- Transformers the ride
- Battlestar Galactica: Human
- Battlestar Galactica: Cylon
- Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure
Tip no. 3: Time to take pictures!
After the thrilling experience let's slow down a bit, open your cameras and unleash your inner AsNTM hahaha.
For our dinner we used our 5% discount that we got from each voucher and ate in this Riverdale inspired resto-bar.
We also encounter these group of entertainers performing at exactly 5:00 pm.
As much as I would love to post a pic from all the extreme rides we've done unfortunately cameras are not allowed for safety reasons.
There are lockers which you can put all your belongings. Some are free while others are paid around 4 SGD.
Finally, we're done with day 1 at Singapore, nothing much happen after.
And since we are really exhausted that day we decided to go to our hotel and call it a day.
