The Singapore Flyer Experience
The Singapore Fleyr is a giantFerris Wheel situated in the Marina Center reclaimed land .Towering 165 meters above Singpore, you bet it's the world’s observation wheel higher than the famved London Eye.
During the 30-minute flight we savored the breathtaking 360 degree broad views of the Singapore City centre and beyond including parts of the neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia. We had fun spottinhg iconic and historical landmarks along the Singapore River. Indeed, we all had a brilliant aerial experience.
The BattleStar Galactica Ride in Universal Studios Singapore is a pair of high-speed shuttles that accelerates to the top and it slows down to let the riders see the full view just as they go over the edge. The coasters travel through more than two kilometers of rail in what the resort calls "a tumultuous battle of humans vs. Cylons." The red rail is for the 'human race' and its seats are mounted in traditional roller coaster fashion. The blue rail is for 'Cyclons,' with the seats suspended below the rail, leaving legs to dangle freely. I suppose, the Cyclon side is designed for those who are adrenaline junkies .Obviously, this is not for the faint hearted - our sons and their cousins including my hubby Terence and Jun ( my blood brother) braved the ride and all of them declared in unison that it was too fantastic a ride experience and boy, one will lost count of the loops. The same bunch of thrill seekers ( this time minus Terence ) went on Cyclo/Human rides multiple times !!! Well, at least my hubby did challenge his fear of heights as he negotiated the terrifying , fun ride which is 14 –storey above the ground . Mind you, he chose the “Cylon” side ( blue ) which had him suspended, with legs dangling . Thank God, he survived all the lifts, drops, inversions, and spins – all part of the 90-second thrill ride and expereinced the world’s tallest pair of duellling roller coasters ! And what did he get for proving that he still got the adrenaline to go extreme ? a post ride Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo after finishing that one daring try ...LOL...

While smaller than the Universal Studios in the US , Universal Studios Singapore (USS) is filled with thrills, rides, shows, and things to do that you will wish for the day to go on forever. Too bad though when it rains the shows are temporarily suspended and you have to wait for the next showtime. They do have the first of its kind TRANSFORMER 3D Ride which is simply AWESOME! This is an entirely different experience, for us, as a ride, it is more fun and exhilirating! While they dont have the tram tour, it has the MUMMY, JURASSIC, SHREK, WaterWorld, and other exciting attractions.USS is for the young and young at heart. We had as much fun as the kids did. they tried all the rides as well and enjoyed them tremendously.
Sure thing, we had an amazing and gratifying family get-together in Singapore!

The red rail is for the 'human race' and its seats are mounted in traditional roller coaster fashion.The blue rail is for 'Cyclons,' with the seats suspended below the rail, leaving legs to dangle freely. my husband did embark on the ride of his life and braved the blue coaster !
