From now till 04Jan 2015, you can celebrate Christmas at Universal Studios Singapore (USS) with snow falling everyday, every hour. Ok, not real snow but still WoW!
Catch the “snow” at three different zones (Hollywood, New York and Sci-Fi).
Before we proceed, get familiar with the Seven Worlds orientation, and plan your own itinerary. Try to plan the attractions and activities close by, so that you do not need to constantly rush from one corner to another. (research USS schedules at this link)
Hollywood, New York and Sci-Fi City
Video : Snowy Christmas celebration at USS
Pretty Day and Night. USS has been decked up in glittery accessories.
Eager revelers could not wait to soak in the festive atmosphere.
On the main stage at New York, Dancing lights play on the building facade and Christmas Tree. Toy soldiers and Sesame Street will perform on the same stage too.
Do remember to say Ho Ho Ho to Uncle Santa Claus, he appears every hour to pose with visitors π
Snow falling around Bumble Bee and Evac!
On a side note, always make Transformers 3D ride your first ride, queues of up to 1 hour is very common!
Sesame Street is all around us, and they never fail to raise the Festive mood up a notch!
Merry Christmas Ernie, Bert and Grover! As usual, Elmo always got the longest queue.
Do not miss award-winning “Sesame Street Saves Christmas” musical at Pantages, four shows daily for you to sing along. Besides the entertaining musical, the couch and aircon offers tired parents a 5min power nap well deserved rest.
Watch how Hollywood’s special effects allow a Cat 5 Hurricane to tear down a warehouse, specially hosted by Steven Spielberg.
The Lost World
We went splashing with Rapids Adventure. Do not bring raincoat along, as getting wet is part of the Fun.
Canopy Flyer, it feels so GOOD to dangle your feet in the sky!
So carefree, soaring just like a bird.
More birds and flight, smaller kids and grandparents can tame a Pteranodon.
Water World, get front row seat for a WET experience like no other!
(just pack additional underwear)
Far Far Away
Shrek’s Castle and Mud house. Even the loo is decorated for Christmas :p
Puss in Boot (upcoming ride with giant beanstalk!) and Enchanted Airways (roller coaster).
Is Boon Xin adorable or not? She likes to stick out her tongue in all the photos!
Madagascar. Move it! Move it!
Ancient Egypt
Smaller kids might love to play “Treasure Hunters” on the slow jeep.
.. the bold ones can step inside the temple and duel with “Revenge of the Mummy”.
Faster, darker, and reverse gear too!
Maybe it is too dark and Daddy cannot see anything, he thought Legoland’s Dragon is more scary.

The characters will pop up at different intervals to greet and meet. If you are visiting on a weekend (and selected Holidays), do not miss the once-a-day Dream Parade. Everyone from USS’s Seven Zones will come out on their floats to say Hello! (click for our previous Parade)
Universal Studios Singapore offers tons of opportunity for family photos.
Can we bring these huge prezzies home?
We spent 11 hours to soak in Festive Christmas at Universal Studios Singapore, tiring but definitely memorable. Thank you RWS for the invitation π
