Universal Studios in Singapore has one of the most crazy roller coasters I've been on: Battlestar Galaxia. It's two roller coasters in one with a human side and a cyborg side. Both roller coasters are crazy. Unlike the coasters I've ridden before, these are powered. So as you are riding them, it's not just inertia that keeps it going, it's powered so it will twist, turn, drop, and go completely crazy in the ways your body is not expecting because it's not following the rules of physics. It's so crazy that Mo lost his keys during the ride.
What really impressed me about the theme park, however, was the Mummy and Transformers ride. They are thematic roller coasters with some of the coolest effects ever. Mummy was traditional with the props, smoke, and voice overs. There are fake tombs and coffins around. The total darkness of the ride enhanced the absolute feeling of fear in the ride. For the Transformers, it's an awesome combination of 3D graphics, where we are literally driving the car through the battle field, with bumps, pulls, jerks, and lunges timed perfectly to the 3D movie sequence that is being showed.
The park is PACKED with people. The lines for Mummy and Transformers were all over an hour long - unless you go single rider style. Yup, you don't sit with friends but literally it's a 10-20 minutes wait in comparison. That's how you roll up Universal Studios style in Singapore.Thank you Yovan for dragging me there after a huge bender out!
