Finally visited USS with my colleagues.

| how about this angle? |

Ok. USS didn't feel as happy as Disneyland Tokyo. Not sure why, but a generic atmosphere. The hot and humid weather in Singapore could be a contributing factor.
 |
| backlighting seems to overexpose the picture |
 |
| not sure if they make freshly popped popcorns here or not, but there wasn't any popcorn smells wafting from it |
The place felt a little small. But that's expected. Visited Madagascar as our first stop. The boat ride was really, really mild. For kids.
 |
| i like to move it move it! |
The costumed character for King Julien was really hardworking. Totally worthed to take picture with!
 |
| to a far, far away land |
 |
| parking needs |
Watched Shrek 4D, but I think the seats on my section was spoilt. The announcement said the seats in the middle were stationary, so we moved to the sides. All the other sections had seats that moved, but ours didn't. But if ours was supposed to be stationary, then why did it moved once? *scratch head*
And the local guy (staff) who did the introduction before the movie, has a very very Singlish accent. Not sure if it's on purpose, but somehow, the magic seemed lost in translation. The far, far away land...just didn't seem far at all!
But, after the shop, everyone had to exit to the gift shop. Prince Charming and Fairy Godmother were there, so took pictures with them. And, whatdoyaknow... Prince Charming, was actually very very chatty. Hahaha! Was wearing a black polo tee with a row of hearts as a design. He asked, "I see you have many hearts, my dear." At first, I didn't realise that he was talking to me. I was looking at the photographer, but he wasn't. So, I answered. Then, he said, "Any for me, my dear?" Hahaa! This guy. Faints. I said, "Sure, one for you.... and another for fairy godmother." Fairy Godmother didn't seem too pleased as he was prolonging the photoshoot. =P
 |
| still chatting? Godmother, might zap you to obscurity with her wand! |
 |
| haha, all look at the camera now, my dears~ |
Got a souvenir. Gingerbread man, err.. souvenir.
 |
| choose the design and crank hard |
 |
| $2 gingerbread man metal |
Didn't see any scantily abs of the guys on stilts at The Mummy place. But my other colleagues did though.
 |
| ancient world |
 |
| are these like 2+ storeys high? |
Actually went inside but too chicken to take the ride. The posters stated "High speed-roller coaster." I was out of there as soon as I saw that!
It was high noon and was very thirsty. Lunch was at Mel's Drive In (near the entrance) as it is halal-certified.

After lunch, went for some kiddie ride, at.. Sesame Street!
 |
| elmo! |
 |
| this was how the ride felt like~ |
Then, saw Oscar the Grouch on the streets.
 |
| kids loving it |
 |
| The handler was shouting a warning at the man who just walked off after hitting/pushed the costumed staff |
 |
| eery part of town |
 |
| majestic |
 |
| sculptured walls |
Glad to report that the restrooms were clean.
 |
| looking for relief? |
Sesame Street gang of Elmo, Cookie Monster, Ernie and Bert, were there at New York City stage area for their performance.
 |
| vibrant colours |
 |
| longer queue for Elmo and Cookie Monster |
We were at Monster Rock, but the show was cancelled due to technical issues. We'd queued for 15-20 minutes only to be told that the show would be further delayed.
 |
| show cancelled, folks |
 |
| seats for the weary feet |
Caught a glimpse of b-boy performance.
 |
| make some noise~ |
 |
| yo~ |
My colleague loves Elmo, so she bought some stuffs.
 |
| rainbow~ |
 |
| bring me home |
Went for the Transformers ride, and it was good! Pretty exciting but I was sad after that. Not because I missed the excitement, but previous person spilled some slushie onto the seat and it happened to be the one that I sat on. Bad luck, or what? Ended up with a patch of dark stain on my jeans at the butt area. Walked around looking as though I had just pooped in my pants. Gosh. Yup, it was sticky too. Glad it wasn't puke though. Was it? Well, it didn't smell like it...still...gross...
 |
| face painting, anyone? |
 |
| hi Betty |
Bumped into Frankenstein. And he scared one unsuspecting visitor.
 |
| before she shrieked |
Overall, it was nice to visit. We took photos with the different costumed characters like 4 or 5 times.
