This is the first company event that is being held in Universal Studios Singapore (USS). We were all very excited about our "first time" at USS, I have invited Ann and Da to go with me to USS. Frankly I have been to Universal Studios in US about 3 years ago and really excited to see what they have for us in Singapore.
Once we reached USS, we were being urshered by the friendly staff (WOW everyone of the staff was smiling happily @ us) When we pass the gate they did not check our ticket...So I kept it back into my bag...I got a shock when I can't find my ticket when they checked it like a distant away from the gate...OMG I got such a big scare...Anyway we were being given a wraist tag like all other theme parks...the girl that helped stick the tag around my wraist did it so tight...it's kinda very uncomfortable...I guess the staff should be trained for such minor thing as well...even though its a small thing...you don't want your guest to feel uncomfortable the whole trip right?
I was wondering why everyone was being urshered to the 1st show and realised that it was due to the CEO speach that offically opens the "NIGHT EVENT"...
Actually I am the most disappointed with the first show that was shown...the "pool" (the stage area)was so small, I wonder how they are going to perform the majestic show I remembered...Boooom!!!! So the show started...I waited excitedly...however, the explosion effects was so mild as compared and also on top of that the excitment I felt when I saw the performers appearing was not there...The stage is too small I keep telling myself in my mind...I could still feel the heat near my face when I picture my experience at Universal Studios in US...could it be because it was winter time when I was there?? It might be because it was so cold that I have imagined that the fire is burning so high...
What makes us very disappointed is that the Battlestar Galactica ride is closed!! sigh...actually good for me hee... I don't think I will dare to go up there...
Shrek 4D as I remembered was really good when I saw it in US...however, after the experience @ USS I am totally disappointed with it....Similar to the US Universal Studios, we were brought into a waiting area whereby we are being given a introduction to the 4D show we are going to watch. I could still remember the "realness" experience I had in US, as compared, the conversation that the 3 little pigs and also pinochio had with the mirror was totally not synchronized. It did not feel real at all, the sound system was so bad, I have no feel about the whole experience! I still rememeber the sneezes and spiders crawling, so before water is being sprayed on my face when the characters "sneeze" I have already covered my face. OMG, I feel totally wet and cold...the water they sprayed was too much!! The horse ride experience was even worst, the chairs were shaking so violently the mechanism was so rough and jerking...Sigh...Da keeps telling me they will fine tune it once its fully open....
One of the rides Ancient Egypt - The Mummy (we call it) suddenly had technical problem and those who were lining up to go for the ride were ask to leave...Later outside I heard one of the guy say "someone fall and stuck at the tracks, die la". Wa that was scary...Da went and evedropped on the conversation of the staff and found that in fact someone really fall, but he's ok. Technically what happened we are not sure about it...LOL...Imgaine if the guy that said the person die had gone around telling others about it OMG...I wonder what kind of tales will spin off from this incident...LOL...
Most of the areas were out of bounce to us...We got lost and accidently walked into the Jurassic Park area...After manuvering around slowly around the restricted area, we finally got "caught" by the USS staff and they quickly brought us out of the Jurassic Park...not before I have strolled pass most of the grounds there and feeling scared...The ambience at Jurassic Park is really good, A star experience! Could it be because it was out of bounce that I had that feeling?? LOL...
I guess I will have to wait for a while more before I will go there again...when the whole place is ready to face the world =)
