Do check out my USS post
First Trip First Trip - II Second Trip
This post would be all about my third trip to USS. However 'exciting' USS sounds, I still feel cheated!!
When I went there for the First time, Battlestar Galactica was down. Two seats fell off while on test ride.
When I went there for the Second time, Battlestar Galactica was still down.
When I went there for the Third time, Battlestar Galactica was up. BUT! Rapid Adventure ( very fun boat ride ) was down. USS closes it's rides at 7PM. Also, when I wanted to take Battlestar Galactica Cylon, I was told to go try other rides first because a girl was stuck to her seat!!??!
After which, on the next Monday (I went on Friday), I was told that they didn't close the ride even after 9PM!! AND the Transformers 4D ride (said to launch in December Third) WAS ALREADY OPEN TO ALL.
HOW CAN I NOT FEEL CHEATED!!!
Okay done with the rants, let me get on with the post.
Nonetheless I still managed to have a great time despite feeling cheated.
Went there exceptionally early to buy the tickets with an empty stomach.
Took many photos with the inactive globe in the morning! Felt so awesome because there were no photoboomers in the back ground or whatsoever. Just us (our unglams). And the globe.
Failed jumpshot because they couldn't coordinate well with my camera's self timer.
Good job Mandy!
Oh and we were also commenting on Mandy's (Second from left) thick leggings on a warm day.
Best post is to just stay still
(Second from left) Jiajing is pregnant
Kidding!
I would give myself a thumbs up for mimicking the fairy's pose
at least I have a face
Jiaqi's about to laugh
Jiajing with the same pose
Went around the entire (empty) place taking pictures. Mandy strongly objected photo-taking a lot more than usual that day because she said she doesn't look good.
Checking out the unopened gates of USS
Jiaqi & I
I love our strict face it looks so retarded - especially since we're sitting beside silly M&Ns giant
Very disproportional, I know.
Me and a giant chocolate.
Only if it was real ... I mean, if only my mouth were that big, or my teeth, it will be a different story.
I don't know what is that either
50% looks like poop ; 50% looks like bird
Poopird
Jiajing standing on the Poopird
Hershey, Me & Reese
Soon, the mist from the globe started emerging, spreading out and the globe itself started rotating
Had to rush over for photos since it looks so dreamy ~~~
I like this photo Jiaqi took of me
I just like it
Jiaqi and the moving globe
*Zoom in*
Finally the ticket counter opened
Bought the tickets with haste speed
Huge Christmas tree behind the globe.
The background people are all the photoboomers.
Camwhoring with Jiaqi while waiting in the queue
Ever since (forever) people always like to look into my camera while I take photos. People as in random passing-by people. Downright annoying!
Huge Kungfu Panda!
He was standing there socializing with kids, probably to lengthen all of our patience.
One cute kid shouted : Do you know KungFu??
And all this Panda could do is to pretend to stand in some fighting action *nod head*
Soon enough, the wait was over, they opened the gate to dream world.
Clique picture with this raw chicken mascot
I think he's a chicken cause his feet looks like some chicken bone
Walking down New York street
I AM IN NYC YO
Haste walking plus camwhoring
I got them to skipped all the attractive shops, whatever they sell, for later.
And headed straight for the ride which will I assume would probably accumulate the longest queue and the longest queue time.
I am at Snow Route
And I am not supposed to stand
I suddenly hope that ANY street in New York (the real NYC) would look as pretty as the designed building in USS. I would like to go there some day, take a look, climb into someone's house from the outside.
Pretty pretty place~
To be true, the entire USS was actually big in size, but quite limited in the amount of rides available.
But they did a great job in decorating every single part of the place, very REAL. Even those random fake display shops were very nicely decorated in the interior.
Love the photo!
Look at the lovely background fake shops
'Sitting on the road side since I can't stand'
Here's an example which would describe my sentence.
Very fully and nicely decorated fake window view of a shop, even just for display.
Felt a little flustered because I didn't want to be the first to get on the Battlestar Galactica ride. At least I think it's safer to be on it after the first batch.
Statue lion and Jiaqi
.. plus Jiajing and I
THIS THIS!!
This is the ride that was CLOSED on the day we came, said to open on 3rd December, but opened on the next Monday which wasn't third December YET!
I heard it was fun, since it was a RIDE plus 4D.
See the red (Human) and blue (Cylon) tracks of the Battlestar Galactica!

I actually found the story of Battlestar Galactica ride to be quite interesting.
The battle between Human and Cylon. Which explains why the two tracks are closely 'interlocked' twisting and turning around each other.
What's awesome about it is that the two coaster departs at the same time. So you could freely wave high to the one sitting on the other ride before you grab on to the chair for your dear life.
Sat on the Human (Red track) first - was the first batch nonetheless
The ride was short and sweet, like almost over in a minute? Very interesting! There is no 360 degree spin, and the ride has a platform and each chair is connected to other chair. So you don't have to worry that much. Just that it always scares me when the ride zooms below the Cylon tracks, like my head would hit the tracks or something.
Next, went on the Cylon (Blue track) - where we were chased away because a girl was stuck to her seat. Return shortly after~
The ride is also, very short and sweet. Except that there is no platform unlike the Human coaster, and the seat is almost hanging individually. The suspended coaster goes up, around and upside down. I had to put my shoes at the side, in case it flies away. Love in when the ride enters a mist zone. Very cooling - like droplets of water sprayed on you, on a hot day.
The 360 degree turns are still okay, you can feel it - But there's not like you could unstrap yourself and flee. So just enjoy the ride~
Actually, all scary roller coasters ride are short and sweet. Which is why you must try ALL!
Sat the Human Galactica ride four times in total, and the Cylon Galactica ride five times in total.
AWESOME????
I think so.

Next was Revenge of the Mummy ride at Ancient Egypt.
The place was right beside Sci-Fi city where the Galactica was, so it's relatively near.
A picture of the USS worker
I think the photo is taken by someone whom I passed my camera to, to take photo with the Egyptian Pharaoh.
Here it is!
I think they change their costume and make up every hour.
How does it feel to be half-naked walking around in USS with thick make up and being emotionless on a hot day? Unbearable.
The entrance of the Revenge of the Mummy ride
The ride is very fun! Sudden stops and going back wards, being in the darkness.
Also, because it's an indoor ride, it's very cooling
With some adventurer??????????
Next was passing by The Lost World
Since the only ride available then was Canopy Flyer with long queue I ask them to skip it first and come back later
Went to Far Far Away ~
I was starving.
Starved to the kind of feeling I am full with starve.
Sometimes, when I'm hungry, anything I eat makes me full instantly.
Had lunch at Goldilocks!
Jiaqi also brought shrek ears which I thought was quite expensive: $7.50
But when you go into USS, you would lose your mind and want to buy everything.
It happens.
Jiajing and Mandy brought potion bottle each at $16+++ which I brought before and it disappeared at home. LOL.
The fruit punch/strawberry flavoured drinks are damn sweet it's sickening!!
My light lunch
I brought kids meal which comes with a free box.
Nuggets and criss cross fries!
The whole meal costs $9.50
I think the box itself is more expensive than the food LOLOL
But the place has the most decent western food, chicken is very tender too (Jiaqi brought it and let me tried some)
I spotted a chair and so we went to a corner of the Goldilocks shop to take some photos before leaving.
My flash shuts off Mandy's eyes
Jiaqi hates the flash as well, so no flash for her
oh looks it's me!
Went to catch the Shrek 4-D Adventure
Filled with pushing people, so irritating urgh urgh urgh
Aww ... have you heard the story of three little pigs
Jiaqi and Big-eye version of Me
I look creepy *STARE*
Us in 4D glasses
It was dark inside, so flash is very much needed.
Oops ... my flash turned Mandy off again
We were let into some 'chamber' and we were 'prisoners'
Snow white's witch's mirror mirror on the wall
BOO
Then, we were let into some theatre (where 300 people push and rush their way in, I don't get why either) to watch the show with moving chairs, and spraying water in your face effect. Very nice!
I think watching 4D is awesome, YOU DON'T NEED TO PUSH!!! The view of the effect will still be directly IN YOUR FACE kind, no matter where you're sitting at.
Walked to Madagascar
Wanted to ride on this Crate Adventure ~~ I thought it would be very exciting and fast going kind, but it's not.
Jiaqi and I
Oh and look, some one looking on the left.
This is how the crate looks like.
However, some technical difficulties happened and we were told to return later again .. why does this always happen!!!
HI 5 with a monkey
So we faithfully walked back to Far Far Away ~~~
And saw the Ogres! Shrek, me and Fiona.
I don't like Fiona in Ogre form, I don't think that on that day the human-form of Princess Fiona came out to take photos :(
Walked back to Madagascar and the Crate Ride was back on! :D
Jiaqi and I in the crate itself
Yes, pretty boring ride!
They should haste up the whole ride!!
Went to catch the WaterWorld show at 3PM :)
Very nice show!!!
The place was almost full with audience.
Halfway through the show, there were suddenly some 'technical difficulties' yet again for like 4 minutes.
Then people started leaving the place already ....... That is so rude!!!
Suddenly, we flew to New York again.
Jiajing carrying very disturbing kids meal boxes and her potion bottle and the Subway!
Jiaqi and I
I realised Jiaqi cannot take those candid kind of photos. She MUST come up with something one.
This is something new!
Potion bottle, Box, Human, Box, Human holding Potion bottle, Box
And by now, Mandy changed out of her leggings and placed it in the box. LOLOLOL
Clique photo!!!
I don't see anything, not even a naked stone statue behind me
A fake pastry shop ~~~
I AM A POLICE
time to nab some people
@Hollywood
Also queued up to take photos with Frankenstein who TOOK AWAY MY LUNCH BOX ..
And RETURNED it :) LOL
I love this photo I look ridiculous
MUACK
Zoom to catch the Lights Camera Action
'hosted' by Steven Spielberg -
I had on Jiaqi's panda cap
with her panda wallet which I brought along with her while queuing
Very compatible right?!
The Lights, Camera, Action! is about the Hurricane setting happening right in front of us. Very interesting and nice! Should go and watch if you're in USS.
Went for Dinner at Loui's NY Pizza Parlor @NewYork
We actually had dinner there because I could smell the pizza smell from miles away ~~~ Very attracting - I think the pizza there taste awesome because they smell awesome!
Brought this meatball spaghetti'
After the dinner, Jiaqi wanted to go on for the last battlestar cylon ride. I told her I might, or we might both throw up because we just had dinner. But heck! We went anyway. None of us threw up.
Mandy and JJ didn't wanted to ride, so I think they went to walk about - I feel very contented already, me and JQ forced JJ and Mandy to ride both the Battlestar rides. That is actually good enough!
Our stomach is like a washing machine when we ride Cylon. Turn and turn and turn.
After riding so many coaster rides, I actually feel neutral.
Those panicking and being afraid before the ride actually .. gone (for a while).

Went on a relaxing Treasure Hunters ride opposite Revenge of the Mummy
And since we had time, we went for Revenge of the Mummy ride again.
This time, four girls were already in there, waiting for someone to come and take the ride with them.
It's actually pretty scary to go for the ride at night. Cause, you know, it's at NIGHT.
And eight of us went in.
Feeling much more creepy than usual.
All the rides were close, and we can only take photos around the place.
Those $5 ticket holders also came in, to take photos. Some were very annoying okay!
Passed iPhone to me, then requested to take a lot of photos for them -_______-
"take a few more photos~~"
SEE!
I told you JQ cannot candid herself.
The back alleys!
The most candid photo of JQ
She volunteered this herself, very cool very cool
Me with an OSCAR award for BEST SISTER
*proud*
And second BEST FRIEND award
*proud*
My best friend shrek with BEST FRIEND AWARD
*proud*
@Hollywood That's a Wrap!
Went out of USS to candylicious store for some chocolates.
The moment I stepped out of USS, my leg immediately became weak. Very tired pair of legs.
What is so special about the floor in USS? It keeps me walking.
Okay, that's a wrap!!
That's not all for my USS post. There's still a very ... reluctant video that wouldn't save itself, wouldn't upload itself to youtube.
I'll upload it soon!
