Exploring All 18 Attractions at Universal Studios Singapore
Welcome to Universal Studios Singapore! Located at Resorts World Sentosa roughly 40 minutes outside of the CBD, this park opened in 2011 and is easily one of the most interesting parks in the line up. That’s because, unlike every other Universal Studios,
This one isn’t owned by Universal and is instead owned by Genting Singapore under a licensing agreement so it’s considered one of the many attractions of Resorts Worlds Sentosa. One of the biggest differences that many will notice is that Entrance to the park is essentially in the middle of a shopping mall,
But it’s what is behind that entrance that we’re going to be discussing today. Universal Studios Singapore is an interesting collection of some of Universal’s best attractions alongside some unique additions not found anywhere else. So join us as we jump into the park and
Take a tour around to discover just what Universal Studios Singapore is all about! Just like almost every Universal Studios theme park around the world, after scanning your ticket and walking through the gates you’ll enter into the familiar land of Hollywood. With a focus on shops and services, Hollywood officially
Only has one attraction called the ‘Pantages Hollywood Theatre’ which is an entertainment venue currently showcasing ‘Trolls Hug Time Jubilee’. Now admittedly we did skip this show whilst we were here so we can’t tell you much about what’s inside, but shows alternate
Quite regularly so it’s worth checking out what’s showing at the time of your visit. Just across the way from ‘Pantages Hollywood Theatre’ you enter into ‘New York’ which is themed to, well, New York! The first attraction you’ll notice in this land (because you can’t
Miss its gigantic facade) is Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase, a slow-moving suspended dark ride for the little ones and little at heart where you’ll follow Elmo and the gang to help stop Macaroni the Merciless and his minions from stealing all the spaghetti from Earth.
It’s a cute little adventure with some musical elements that we highly recommend for families. Across the Street is New York’s second major attraction Lights, Camera, Action by Steven Speilberg though some might struggle to see it at first glance as it’s a little more obscured
Than a giant Elmo. This special effects showcase is more of a show than a ride, but it’s perfect for anybody looking to get a taste of ‘classic’ Universal Studios. The effects can get pretty intense with fire, sparks, splashing,
And more that we won’t spoil so we do recommend checking with your little ones before entering, but this is one of those attractions that recommend you don’t miss. Elsewhere in New York you are likely to find seasonal attractions and entertainment so, once again, double-check before visiting to see if there is
Anything in particular that you’re interested in. Around the corner from New York is the intriguing Sci-Fi City! This land is exclusive to Universal Studios Singapore and acts as a kind of ‘Tomorrowland’ featuring all things Sci-Fi with a focus on thrills.
Likely the first attraction you’ll encounter here is TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle, a screen-based thrilling indoor dark ride that is NOT a roller coaster. This attraction has become a bit of a staple for Universal Studios with several other parks having the same ride,
So if you’ve ridden it before you can likely skip this one as it gets INSANE waits of over 2 hours, but if it’s your first time to a Universal park or you haven’t been in a while then this is another of those classic don’t miss attractions with stunning effects,
Thrilling elements, and a fun, easy to follow storyline. Just down from Transformers is one of our first ‘flat rides’ or ‘filler attractions’ called Accelerator. This is essentially a more intense version of a tea cup ride that is all about spinning and getting insanely dizzy. Personally, these aren’t for me,
But I know kids and teens love to push themselves to their limits on these to which I say go nuts. And finally the highlight of Sci-Fi City, and possibly all of Universal Studios Singapore, the impossible-to-miss Battlestar Galactica steel dueling coasters known as ‘Human’ and
‘Cylon’. Manufactured by Vekoma and opening with a rather rocky history of extended closures, these are two of the best roller coasters that you can experience in Southeast Asia. The unique selling point here is that, despite duelling, each track provides a unique coaster experience,
With Human using a more family-orientated sit-down train with limited inversions, and Cylon using a suspended train with a more aggressive, looping layout. Each uses a launch system to propel guests through the track, but dueling seems to be more a coincidence rather than a feature these days.
If you can tolerate thrilling coasters I highly recommend giving both of these a try as they are brilliant. If you’re a bit apprehensive then perhaps start with Human, see how you feel, and work your way up to Cylon because it’s easily the more thrilling experience. And if you’re
Struggling to remember which is which cause it can be a little confusing, ‘human’ is more human. Right next door to Sci-Fi City is the land of ‘Ancient Egypt’. Despite its impressive size and dominating facades, this area only contains two attractions that are centred
Around the Mummy franchise such as our next attraction Revenge of the Mummy. This is the third iteration and arguably the best version of this iconic high-speed indoor rollercoaster and it includes some impressive dark ride segments plus a launch that propels you into twists and
Turns in near-complete darkness. For those who have been to Universal Studios Orlando, this is a near replica of the Mummy coaster found there with some slight modifications to the story. The other attraction in Ancient Egypt is Treasure Hunters, a slow-moving vintage
Car attraction that takes you on a tour around the land. It has some fun effects, includes a lovely view of the lake, and is perfect for younger guests, but we did see this one get some astronomical waits for what it is. Part of this might be the fact that there isn’t a
Ton for families to do at the moment whilst half the park is under construction, but if you’re keen to experience it then get there early and don’t bother if it’s over a 20-minute wait. By the way! If you’re enjoying this video and want to support us be sure
To give it a like and subscribe to our channel. If you want to take it even further consider becoming a patreon over at Patreon.com/ReviewTyme Continuing around the park we find ourselves in ‘The Lost World’ which is unsurprisingly majority
Dedicated to Jurassic Park. The Lost World is one of the biggest lands over at Universal Studios Singapore and it allows for a little bit more exploration with its asymmetrical layout. Past the famous Jurassic Park gates (which were covered by a haunt sign when we visited)
Are three attractions, the first of which is Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure. Unlike other Universal Studios parks which have Jurassic Park as a boat ride, this is a full-on river rapids that contains all of the elements that you’ve come to expect such as dinosaur animatronics, plenty of moments to get drenched, and an impressive
Finale drop. It’s definitely worth experiencing this unique take on a classic Universal ride. Still within Jurassic Park around the corner, you’ll find Dino-Soarin’, a little flat ride where you can control the height of your dinosaur as it spins around just under our next attraction called Canopy Flyer. This aerial suspended roller coaster
Has you soaring over Jurassic Park giving you some great views of the land and park. It’s a great family coaster with a decent punch that’s worth a ride if the wait isn’t ridiculously long. FInally, we come to our last attraction in The Lost World which is none other than the
Iconic Water World stunt show. We rave about this production over on our official review of Universal Studios Singapore so if you want something more comprehensive we highly recommend checking that out, but for those who want the brief, this is one of the best stunt shows in
The world with insane effects on an absurd scale that is sure to knock your socks off so please do not miss this attraction! Depending on the time of year that you visit this attraction can only have one showtime so don’t miss out because when it’s full, it is full!
Lucky last at Universal Studios Singapore we come to the land of Far Far Away and don’t worry because you will see this place coming from Far, Far Away with the grand facade of our first attraction in the land Shrek 4D. Yep, you heard that right,
This massive facade simply contains Shrek 4D, a theatre-style attraction that is pretty self-explanatory. Unfortunately, this was closed for refurbishment during our visit. Surprisingly, inside the gift shop of Shrek 4D is Magic Potion Spin, a tiny little Ferris Wheel for children. This has to be one of the strangest
Placements of an attraction we’ve ever seen but it’s also pretty cool to see! Up next we have Donkey Live, an interactive comedy show with the one and only Donkey. It works very similar to Turtle Talk with Crush where guests interact with a Donkey via a screen that is played
By a live performer. Kids seemed to have a lot of fun with this one and whilst some of the jokes didn’t land for the adults, its still good fun! At the end of the street you’ll come across another suspended roller coaster this time called Puss In Boots’ Giant Journey. Whilst not being the
Most thrilling roller coaster on property, it’s certainly the most interesting with a spinning vertical lift hill, multiple show scenes, and a strange cat dancing that left us going “huh”. This one is perfect for the family so definitely add it to your list if you’re interested.
Lucky last ride for Far Far Away and Universal Studios Singapore is Enchanted Airways. This is your fairly standard junior coaster with some theming that gives you a good view of the park at a mild pace. This is perfect for a child who wants their first experience on
A coaster with no intimidating elements to work them up towards rides in the future. And that concludes our attraction tour of Universal Studios Singapore! In a few years we’re going to see some big changes at this park considering that almost one-quarter of
The park is under construction for Despicable Me and Minion Land, and Super Nintendo World has been confirmed for this park in the future but we are yet to get a solid timeframe for that project. If you’re keen on experiencing Universal Studios Singapore I highly recommend checking it out if
You’re around South East Asia especially if you have never done a Universal Studios park before. Also this is our first time trying this style so if you enjoy it be sure to give us some feedback! For ReviewTyme, I’m Dom, thanks for watching!

The only real major concerns I have about this Park are the wait times & the lack of non-cloned rides. Besides those two concerns, everything else feels like it would make for an incredible park – elite attractions/IPs, filler attractions for families while still having solid thrill rides, tons to explore (Jurassic & Mummy lands look beautiful), & ample entertainment options. Fantastic review by you guys, definitely adding this to my bucket list Asia trip
Awesome little park
Good job as always and it’s a video well needed for all Disney, Universal, etc park videos yall do!! A lot of people simply do know about these rides, even if they are veterans of the US parks and even those are sometimes surprising to people! Keep it simple as you have and add little details that make us want more! ^_^
I'm that nigga i hope that's ok to say around here daddy
Thanks for the tour. Some of us will never make it there so a quick tour like this really gives us an idea what it would have been like. Thanks.
Very invested in super nintendo world singapore. Im slightly concerned since the park itself is so small. Idk how theyre gonna fit a super nintedo world in there
USS is different from other Universal parks is that it's not really worth a trip for the park, but rather a stop at the park while in the city.
Why are fish not equal members of Zootopia society?
Is that true that every tuesday uss singapore is closed… thank u
A local here. You're right on Battlestar, during the early years, the duelling feature was deliberate and always occurring. Also, Human (red) used to have a lap restraint instead of a shoulder one now, which made Human many times scarier than Cylon due to the mid-air hanging feeling.
I reckoned after addressing the safety concerns, they've swapped all restraints to shoulders, and changed the seats from 4 per row to 2 per row. I'm sure they could still synchronise the duelling of the coasters…. but shrugs
Great looking park, I hope they make the UK park resemble this one in terms of how much is undercover, but its not a fully indoor park. They also have some rides not anywhere else in the world, which again I hope the UK park will have, such as Lord of the Rings, James Bond, Doctor Who, etc..
Bought the Unlimited express for my visit. Worth every cent
Definitely do more videos like this. Great job as always
This is a great park, and my family have been many times over the last 10 years. Unfortunately last year when we went, it was in a pretty poor state of disrepair. Particularly with all the projectors in the rides (like Transformers) being in bad need of replacement. I hope they can get their park back in shape because it really is a special place when it’s being properly maintained.
I was thinking of visiting here if I go to Singapore but maybe not….but maybe just for the Battlestar Galactics coasters
