Universal Studios Singapore opened last week and the first videos of the rides began to appear on Youtube. This first one was shoot on opening day and 18 "lions" graced the opening ceremony of the park!
The Jurassic Park River Adventure is now a raft ride version of Universal famous attraction. The dinos are here, of course, but you will note some differences with the Hollywood or Orlando versions, and i like particularly the rock work with its threatening look in the waterfall sequence.
Revenge of the Mummy in Ancient Egypt land have a great new theming outside but i think that the ride is quite the same. Difficult to have the right opinion, though, as the ride is so dark that it don't helps when you film a video.
Here is the part four of the Universal Studios Grand pictorial report and, thanks to Disney and more readers Fabian Fan and Wee Sen we will have today a closer look to Far Far Away and Lost World lands. You can read the previous Part Three HERE, the Part Two HERE and the Part One HERE, all with dozens of great pictures of the other lands!
Below, two short videos showing the Far Far Away castle and the Enchanted Airways family coaster.
Let's move to the Lost World land, home of Jurassic Park and Waterworld.
Below, three short videos showing the end of Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, Dino Soarin and Canopy Flyer.
The Waterworld stunt show arena is located near Jurassic Park, let's have a look at it!
A last short video showing the Waterworld arena.
See you on Monday for the last part of the Universal Studios Singapore report!

Universal Studios Singapore sneak preview week has began and first videos of the park were posted on Youtube. But first the last news about the park "real" opening: As i told you before this sneak preview allows the guests to "visit" the park, enjoy the decors, have dinner in the restaurants and of course come back home with some souvenirs items from the shops. No rides were open as some of them are not totally operationals.
I've been told that the Jurassic Park Adventure, the Madagascar ride, the Lights, Camera, Action special effects show located in the New York area and the Ancient Egypt Treasure Hunters Jeep Ride must be complete before Universal will open the Park for "real", i.e with all rides open for the guests. I've also heard that the park could be open in soft opening mode from March 3, but as it will be about the 5th time that it has been announced we will see on that day if it's true or not...
So far, the buzz from the guests about the park is very good and apparently they liked what they saw during these sneak preview days. Although the visitors won't probably notice it, Universal teams have still a lot of details to finish up and the next weeks will give them the needed time to put the final touch before the Grand Opening celebration.
Sunday was also the Casino opening day and if what i've been told is right the Casino attracted 75,000 Visitors in it's first day, which is simply phenomenal. Disney, who was asked by Chinese officials if it could be possible to have a casino on the future Shanghaî Disneyland resort - and who apparently refused - is probably doing a big mistake as in Asia the word "Casino" not only means big money but also a lot of people coming in. My feeling is that the biggest danger for Hong Kong Disneyland is not only Universal Studios Singapore and its great rides but also the casino nearby. We'll see in one year if Hong Kong Disneyland has been hurt or not by Resorts World Sentosa.
And now here is a selection of videos, all shoot and posted on Youtube by myfamilyng, except the last video. They're all short videos so the download shouldn't take too long.
The first one below show the Universal Studios Singapore entrance and ticket booths.
On this next one, the Hollywood area and also a bit of the Madagascar land entrance.
Newt, a panoramic view of the New York Streets.
This next video show the Battlestar Galactica coaster in Sci-Fi City and the entrance to Ancient Egypt land.
These three next short videos show the spectacular decor of Ancient Egypt land.
The next video shows a panoramic view of the Far Far Away land and especially the castle.
Although the rides are not open, guests can enjoy some "streetmosphere" like this Madagascar "dance" in the Madagascar land...
...or experience some street dance in the New York Street area.
This last video show Sci-Fi City at night. It's a "family" video posted on Youtube by jiopzxcvbnm but it has some interesting night shots of the land.
