Gor Gor excitedly reviews:

Horray! The haze condition has improved tremendously, the sky has cleared so much over the past few days. Auntie Catherine brought all of us to Universal Studio. I have been looking forward to it. I have been to Universal Studio and each time, I enjoy myself as there are always new things to see, new experiences and great company, this time I am going with Mummy’s friends.

Hmm … where shall we start? Do remember to grab a copy of the guide which is easily available at the entrance and every shop to help plan for your trip. Gor Gor studying the guide and planning his visit.

I am at one of the latest new attractions for 2013 which is the Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase.

I love Sesame Street! I grew up watching Sesame Street and my favourite characters are Big Bird, Elmo, Bert and Ernie, Cookie Monster and many more …

I am queuing up to take the ride and I am going to join Elmo on a mission with Sesame Street super heroes to stop Macaroni the Merciless in his plot to steal all the spaghetti from Earth. I get to zip through the space on a space ship and meet all my favourite Sesame Street characters.

Next stop, I am at the entrance of “Revenge of the Mummy” ride which is a high speed roller coaster. The previous time when I was here, I did not meet the height requirement so I couldn’t take the ride. This time, my height is over the requirement and I am so excited to be able to take the ride.

Fear Factor: ***** and Fun Factor: *****

After taking the ride, it is pretty scary for me as I have not taken high speed roller coaster in the dark before. The ride is conducted indoor and in total darkness with sudden sharp turns and children, please hold onto the hand bars tightly. The adults are having fun as they keep saying they want to go for a second round. They commented me on my bravery on taking this ride. Overall, after going through the first round, I am more prepared to go for another round. It is fun! Height requirement for guests under 122cm may not ride. Children must be accompanied by adults and please keep your belongings in the lockers provided at the ride venue.

Hey, it is Pinocchio!

I am at Far Far Away Land and the highlight is to watch Shrek 4-D Adventure. Join Shrek and Donkey in their adventure to save Princess Fiona. I enjoy watching the show, the characters come alive with the OgreVision glasses that you wear when you watch a 3D movie and you get to feel the movement when the characters jump, bounce and even when Donkey sneezes, water will be splashing at you so be prepared! Overall, it is an interesting 4D experiences!

I am at Madagascar, A Crate Adventure!

Look at that a blow fish! I can’t wait to join the four heroes, Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria who are the four heroes on a river ride adventure. There is no water splashing, it is quite a gentle and smooth ride.

Now comes to the highlight of our trip, the Transformers Ride which is both Gor Gor’s and Di Di’s all time favourite toys! They are big fans of most of the Hasbro products which Transformers belong to.

Ohhh … the wait time is about 40 minutes! It is okay, I will wait patiently for my turn to take this ride.

About the ride, join Optimus Prime who is the leader of Autobots, Bumble Bee and the Autobots team in this 3D thrilling indoor ride. You will be racing, zipping through subway tunnels, down the streets and across high-rise rooftops wearing 3D glasses to battle against the Deceptions.

“Gor Gor, how’s the ride?”

“It is exciting, Di Di! I hope you will grow up quickly and meet the height requirement so that both of us can go for the ride together!”

Di Di can’t take the ride so he went to shop and get a Bumble Bee toy. Hee hee …
