USS Tour Tip 2: Attractions and rides not to be missed

For adult, the roller coaster Battlestar Galactica in Sci-Fi City is a thrilling and challenging ride. Too bad that it's still down for repair.

The latest news announced by Resorts World Sentosa in mid Aug 2014 is that the roller coasters will be re-opened by first half of the year. Luckily, the indoor roller coaster Revenge of the Mummy in Ancient Egypt is equally exciting. The Lost World has two fun rides that are good for the whole family, the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure and Canopy Flyer. The Waterworld is an interesting live show with lots of stunts and explosions. If you enjoy live performance, the new musical Broadway Show Monstrocity at Pantages Hollywood Theater is entertaining.

As for children, don't miss out the following show: The Lights, Camera and Action, Donkey Live and Shrek 4-D Adventure. Rides suitable for kids include Treasure Hunter, Dino-Soarin', Canopy Flyer, Magic Potion Spin, Enchanted Airways and King Julien's Beach Party-Go-Round.

USS Tour Tip 4: Do you need an express pass?

I would advise you to purchase the Express Pass, which cost S$30-$70 (depending on seasons) to purchase online, for the following circumstances:

if you intend to ride or see most of the attractions in the theme park in a day.
the day of your visit falls on weekend or public holiday or school holidays.

You may decide to buy the pass at a later time at some of the appointed retail shops counter in the theme park if you found out that the park is too crowded.

With an Express Pass, you still have to queue among those with these passes, however, the queues are generally not too long. In my experience, on average it took 2 to 10 minutes to queue for a ride on a public holiday.

USS Tour Tip 5: Which rides to go first?

Canopy Flyer and Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure in The Lost World zone can wipe out 2-3 hours of your valuable time just for the purpose of queueing in peak season. Even the Express Pass holders have to wait for 30 to 45 minutes. So give priority to take these rides first before noon as the queue waiting time for most rides between 10am to 12pm are shorter.

USS Tour Tip 6: Two spectacular shows not to be missed

If you happen to be there on Saturday, you may want to extend your stay till evening for the Lake Hollywood Spectacular fireworks show at 8pm. Another not to miss show is the Hollywood Dream Parade which is schedule on Saturday and Sunday at 5pm. Please check the Show Schedule to plan for your trip.

USS Tour Tip 7: Avoid weekends, public holidays and school holidays

To make full use of your time, you should avoid visiting the park on weekends and public holidays as the queue at most rides and attractions will be longer.

USS Tour Tip 9: Prepare to get wet

Few of the rides and shows like Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, Waterworld and Shrek 4-D Adventure may get you wet. So either prepare to wear a raincoat or bring a spare clothing. The raincoat is especially useful when it's raining as you still can move around the park without getting wet.

USS Tour Tip 10: Water and food

There are many water coolers around the park, so you may not have to bring lots of water as you can replenish it at any time. As for food, try out some Local Food at Discovery Center Food Court located at the Jurassive Park. However, avoid lunch hours from 12 to 2pm as the queue will be long.

USS Tour Tip 11: Keep cool

Singapore weather is hot and humid. So wear light clothing and bring umbrella with you to keep cool.
