The park
didn’t open its doors until 10am so I got there just before. I decided to take
the monorail (MONORAIL!) from Harbourfront over to Sentosa island. As soon as I
got off I found a ticket booth with NO queue so I got my ticket from here and
bypassed everyone else on my walk in.
You walk
through Hollywood, which is mostly just shops and restaurants to the other
lands. These are Madagascar, Far Far Away (Shrek), The Lost World, Ancient
Egypt, Sci-FI City and New York. For the entire day the park wasn’t that busy
and the longest I had to queue for was about 20 minutes but most were however
long it took you to walk from the entrance to the ride itself. I went on
everything and some things more than once and had a really awesome day! The
best thing about going to a theme park by yourself is single rider queues.
Eliminates most queuing as you just walk right to the front.
The first
ride I went on was Universals version of ‘It’s a small world’ but obviously not
as good without that catchy song. My favourite ride was Revenge of the Mummy,
it was an indoor rollercoaster which went backwards and forwards. A close
second would have to be Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, oh boy did I get wet!
Imagine the Ribena Rapids at Thorpe Park but a bit more extreme. Normally when
I get wet at a theme park I’d moan and then feel damp for the rest of the day,
whereas here I knew I was wet but it wasn’t cold and I was bone dry again in
10minutes! Crazy weather!
The biggest
ride was a duel rollercoaster with a transformers theme that opened in 2011 but
hasn’t ever really been open. They had loads of problems with it and they’ve
gone as far as removing it from the map so they are clearly not opening it
anytime soon!
I discovered
on checking into my flight on Facebook that Steph and Lucy, who I met on the
Kiwi Experience bus, are in Singapore the same time as me. When you’re in Singapore
obviously the main thing you have to do is have a Singapore Sling at Raffles
Hotel, it would be rude not too, so this is where I met the girls. I was late,
they were late but some how we managed to find each other and go in. I went for
the Spring Sling, which was an apple flavoured one and it was bloody lovely!
Another thing they do at Raffles is to eat peanuts and throw the casing on the
floor. We created a massive pile and I don’t think I’ve ever eaten that many
nuts in one sitting but you just get into the swing of things. We caught up,
talking about things we’ve done and found out we’re going to be in Langkawi at
the same time so we’re going to get a room together for the nights they are
there!
We
eventually left and went over to Clarke Quay for dinner. It’s a busy area by
the river with loads of places to eat and drink. As none of us ever have, we
chose to eat in Hooters as we only wanted something small and it seemed the
place to do it. Ticking more things off the bucket list, you know how it is. It
was a lovely evening catching up with them and I’m excited to see them again!
