Puss in Boots USS review

[ Media Invite ]

It is no longer a rumour, Puss in Boots (Giant) is in operation at Universal Studios Singapore (USS)!
Just look at those huge adorable innocent eyes.

And so the story goes

Hold on, before the story unfolds, we can already feel Puss’s presence all over Universal Studios.

At the Far Far Away themed zone, the Giant’s Castle sits ruined, entwined within a giant beanstalk. The quest, nine lives in the making, begins here as Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws go in search of the precious golden eggs in a bid to save San Ricardo’s Orphanage, which has fallen on hard times.

Puss in Boots USS ride will bring visitors round and up the castle before visitors experience a mild sensation dashing down the carriage.

This must be how Jack felt when he dashed down the beanstalk, running away from the Giant.

I would recommend this ride for someone who has yet to experience a roller coaster ride before. The “Golden eggs, Puss, Softpaws and Mother Goose will help to distract the kids from their fear of heights. Carriage can accommodate up to 9 people, so the whole family can enjoy a little thrill together.

Take a sneak peep into the Puss in Boots video with CNA.
This is one of the new rides introduced for USS’s 5th anniversary.

Look at the crowd behind us, all anticipating Universal Studios’ new ride.

Our resort at Holiday Inn Phuket Mai Khao (day 1 post) was on a secluded stretch of beach. On our 2nd day, we went islands hopping around Phi Phi island. Both locations are relatively remote, but we were still able to share our fun experiences online on Facebook and Instagram.
