Opening Days

Universal Studios Singapore (USS) opens today... and it's raining at the moment.

I've always been to theme parks where the weather is not humid. When it was announced that Universal Studios will open a branch here, no one really knew what the sustainability of USS would be. Like when the Singapore Flyer was opened (that's a replica of the London Eye, if you're wondering). It was met with some anticipation, not a lot as there were heaps of construction going on surrounding the area and a month or two into the opening, they had to shut the whole thing down due to some nut or bolt notwithstanding the heat.

So USS is a smaller theme park, it's only opened from 9am to 6pm. There is one roller-coaster track with two types of rides, one sitting, one hanging. You could probably finish the whole park in half a day, barring any queues and I don't know if I want to try it out. It's hot and humid here in Singapore. Ice cream melts the moment it leaves the dispenser.

Maybe I'll give it a year...
