Universal Studios Singapore resumes Battlestar Galactica rides

"Screams back as Battlestar Galactica ride re-opens"

I can only read this piece of news with envy.

When I visited the Universal Singapore Studios last Friday, the Battlestar Galactica Cyclon and Human rollercoaster rides were still closed for repairs.

My friends who visited the rides before their closures said that these were the star attractions of the theme park.

In any case, I still managed to enjoy myself during that last visit. My best experience was on the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure in the 'Lost World' section. Be prepared to get wet. In fact, the person sitting directly opposite us was half drenched at the end of the ride. I escaped with minimal 'damage' after the watery ride, due to my seating position in the circular raft.

My other adventures included (in order of decreasing satisfaction): the Canopy Flyer (also in the 'Lost World' section), Shrek 4D Adventure ('Far Far Away' section), and Revenge of the Mummy ('Ancient Egypt').

Welcome to Hollywood!

As for food, you can refer to my earlier post 'Welcome to sunny Singapore'.

I will have to wait until my next visit to try the Cyclon and Human rides.

Welcome to sunny Singapore

Dear viewer,

Welcome to my blog. This is my maiden post, and I thought of introducing you to the sunny island of Singapore.

Singapore is an island state, that is situated around the Equator. That means, we do not experience four seasons. In fact, we only have two seasons – the rainy monsoon season that happens usually towards the end of the year, and the dry season in the middle of the year.

You can expect to have frequent spells of rain interspersed by occasional bursts of sunshine right at this time of the year. Weather check right now - sunny!

So for those of you who love to brown yourselves and get that beautiful tan, Singapore is an ideal location.

However, given that the sun rays are really strong here, you are advised to get some sun protection. For those of you who are determined to get that alluring bronzed look, don’t forget to bring your SPF 15 Protective Tanning Oil.

I leave you with a picture of the kitchen of KT’s Grill, where mouth-watering authentic New York Grill are being prepared. If you are craving for a taste of New York, head right down to Universal Studios Singapore on beautiful Sentosa.
