Discover a world of fun like no other at Universal Studios Singapore 🌏🎢

If you're looking to get the full Singapore experience the next time you're there, Universal Studios Singapore is definitely worth the visit! Whether you're visiting solo or bringing the whole family along, you're in for a day packed full of fun and adventure with over 20 rides to choose from. From high-speed double rollercoasters that send you flying through the city-state's sunny skies to adventures with beloved childhood heroes — there's something for everyone in USS. 💫

We know you want to make the most out of your day (we know we do 😉) so we've put together a list of our top rides of Universal Studios Singapore — complete with our personal favourites. Keep reading to add them to your list!

1. Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN vs. CYLON

Kickstart your day with one of the most intense rides inside the park, BattlestarGalactica: HUMAN vs CYLON! This high-speed attraction is actually a duelling rollercoaster meaning it features two rollercoasters in one. It’s up to you to pick whether you want to ride on the Human track, where you sit the usual way, or on the looping inverted Cylon track, where you’re suspended.

Zone: Sci-Fi City

2. Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase

We'll be right back, Sesame Street — we're on our way to the stars! Catch childhood faves Elmo, Super Grover, and Big Bird in Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase as you journey through space together to catch Macaroni the Merciless. The mission? Return all the stolen spaghetti to Earth. Compared to other attractions in USS, this one is a bit more chill as the indoor ride goes at a more leisurely pace. It's perfect for young kids and all those who just want to sit back, relax, and enjoy the different sights and sounds the attraction has to offer.

Zone: New York

3. Puss in Boots’ Giant Journey

With two full-length movies to his name, this daring feline friend has proven to be more than just a supporting character. Now, you can join Puss in Boots and his girlfriend Kitty on their next adventure in Far Far Away’s Puss in Boots’ Giant Journey! You'll also encounter animatronics while you spiral up a giant beanstalk in the search for golden eggs at the top. There are certain parts of the ride where it speeds up a bit, so we recommend you hold on tight if you're the type to be easily surprised.

Zone: Far Far Away

4. Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure

No amusement park is complete without a water-based ride, and Universal Studios Singapore is no exception. On Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, you'll board a circular raft and be swept into a river with whitewater rapids that will keep you tossing and turning. Lush tropical greenery surrounds the area, but keep your eyes peeled for the larger-than-life prehistoric creatures roaming around. This is a top-secret dinosaur research facility, after all. 👀 Make sure you bring an extra change of clothes, though, because you're sure to be drenched afterward!

Zone: The Lost World

5. TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle

An action-packed adventure awaits you at TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle, where you’ll race through the city to battle it out with the treacherous Decepticons. The twist on this ride? You stay in one location! This entire ride happens indoors as you navigate from screen to screen. Thanks to CGI and hyper-realistic special effects, you will feel as if you’re zooming across the city through subways and atop buildings — all while you're seated in the same vehicle.

Zone: Sci-Fi City

Klook Tip: Make sure to always have a bottle of water with you since Singapore weather can get hot and humid ☀️

6. Revenge of the Mummy

If you're a thrill-seeker looking for an adrenaline rush, you definitely wouldn't want to miss Revenge of the Mummy! You'll be transported back in time to Ancient Egypt where flying scarab beetles, warrior mummies, and pitch darkness are the norm. You heard that right! It's completely dark inside, so you won't be able to see any of the turns or drops coming. 🫢 This attraction has it all: it’s an exciting high-speed roller coaster, an audio-visual experience, and a haunted house that will surely leave you breathless.

Zone: Ancient Egypt

Have a fun-filled day at Universal Studios Singapore!

7. Shrek 4-D Adventure

Dive deep into a fairytale adventure with our favourite ogre, Shrek, Donkey, Princess Fiona, and the rest of the Far Far Away gang through Shrek 4-D Adventure! Not only will the animations seem to pop out of the screen, but you'll also experience splashes of water and gusts of wind that will make you feel as if you were a part of their story itself.

Zone: Far Far Away

8. Canopy Flyer

Next up on our list is the Canopy Flyer, where you get a stunning pterodactyl’s-eye view of the entire Jurassic Park area. While this steel-suspended rollercoaster does bring you high up in the air, it's still family-friendly so even smaller kids can join in on the fun! By the way, there are two different ways that you can enjoy the view depending on which seat you choose: the front or the back. Both offer equally amazing sights so you're sure to enjoy either way. You can go a 2nd time to see and compare for yourself. 😉

Area: The Lost World

Klook Tip: Wear your most comfortable pair of shoes on your USS visit, since you'll most likely be on your feet the whole day 🏃

9. Dino-Soarin'

While Canopy Flyer is sure to be enjoyed by the whole family, Dino-Soarin' is more for the younger ones! This a peaceful and fun-filled attraction where children can experience being gently brought up and down on the backs of flying dinosaurs called Pteranodons. Kids will surely enjoy this unique experience of returning to the prehistoric time when dinosaurs once walked the earth.

Area: The Lost World

10. Enchanted Airways

Far Far Away has more exciting rides in store for you! Hop aboard Enchanted Airways if you’re a Shrek fan and would love to see the movie’s iconic locations and characters come to life. Here, you’ll climb on Dragon’s back, and she’ll take you soaring over Far Far Away, Shrek’s swamp, and the nearby forest. This is a junior rollercoaster, so if you're looking for a change of pace from the park's high-speed attractions like Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN vs. CYLON and Revenge of the Mummy - this one is for you!

Zone: Far Far Away

11. Lights, Camera, Action!

To end the list is another attraction from Far Far Away! Hollywood movie director Steven Spielberg (creator of films like Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, E.T. the Extra-Terrestial, and Jaws) reveals the magic behind his movies at Lights, Camera, Action. At this show, you'll get the opportunity to see special effects used similarly in Hollywood films happening right in front of you. Set in a building hit by a hurricane, the effects of blowing wind and debris flying around will make you feel as if you were in the director's seat!

Zone: Far Far Away
