We left home around 8am and took a taxi there from Bedok. Total cost of taxi S$14.60. There was no entrance charge of S$3 per person when you enter via the monorail, or the standard car entry charge of S$7 per car. We just paid the taxi charge!
As USS was still on soft-opening mode, we got our tickets S$72 for adults, S$36 for senior citizen above 65 years old. Each ticket came with a S$10 meal voucher, and a S$5 retail voucher! So for my mum, it cost only about S$20 to enter USS! I thought that was a great deal!
Some photos of the attraction attached. And even though some of the rides where not in operation, we still managed to have a wonderful time there, leaving only at 5:30pm. The shows were all splendid, and even the kiddie rides were fun. It makes you feel totally out of Singapore!
My favorite attraction are the Far Far Away Shrek Castle, and The Mummy shown here. The gift show next to the Mummy attraction was the only shop worth spending money on for me, so I got myself a Mummy T-shirt :)
Any complaints of the place? Well of course! I'd say it as it is. So here are the not so good point.
1. A stranger offered to sell us 3 of his tickets, each S$2 cheaper as his friends couldn't come. As we could only buy the tickets from him using cash, I went to the ATM to withdraw some money. At 8:30am, there was no cash in the ATM!
2. So I purchased my ticket at the normal price at the counter. No map or program was given to me upon purchase. I had to go back and ask for them each specifically. Don't ask, don't get!
3. The queue at each ride or show wasn't long, but the turnaround time for each batch of people were, in my point of view, long as compared to theme parks elsewhere.
4. Worst experience was buying food. Although there were lots of places to eat, each time I went in, even though the queue was short, I had to wait rather long for my food. The servers looked totally confused at times as to what they should be doing. The S$10 free meal voucher more then made up for it by keeping me patient. I was also given a wrong order and told that it was what I ordered.... Still, the food was rather cheap, reasonable good, and portion size large.
The other thing I like there during my visit, was the Hershey Shop just outside USS! It's definitely worth a visit! The Victoria Secret shop however, was rather a disappointment to me (not much secret stuff on sale :P ) Casino was off limit to me as a Singapore PR, but my mum went in and reported back that it was too crowded to play, and that the minimum change of chips is S$100! I rather go Genting!
All in all, would I go back there again??? Of course! Looking forward to it since I haven't tried most of the rides there yet!
