Scribbles by Joelle: amusement park

There are many avenues to buy the tickets to LEGOLAND Malaysia. But, as anyone would expect, not all prices offered are equal. After some research, the lowest price found was SGD 38 (per adult 1-day admission ticket) sold by Sea Wheel Travel. The group of us are not keen on taking the coach because that will restrict us to a fixed timetable. Some tour agencies even include meals, which I find a waste of time. Anyway, the drive from Singapore to Legoland is really not that long (approximately 30 minutes after crossing both customs). And anyway, with GPS, it really not that difficult too.

We stopped for lunch at the Pizza Mania. Outside the eatery is this huge Lego giraffe.

Can you see the long queue from the fan's reflection?

After a long wait, it's finally our turn to get on it.

Before going there, I've already heard that it's a rather boring place for adults. Most rides are kiddy and the rest are too short. My experience = hot + humid + a lot of waiting in the queue. The only part that I truly enjoyed was the MINILAND, where all the miniaturized famous places are built using Lego bricks.

On my first visit to USS, we only had several hours in the afternoon to enjoy the park. Recently, a friend wanted very much to come here, so we planned a full day trip. By now, all the rides are open and I'm glad we sat on most of them... some even more than once. Our day of fun concluded with the Lake Hollywood Spectacular fireworks at 9pm.

TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle was newly open, so we went there first. This is definitely my favourite ride in USS.

We put on our raincoat and we're ready for the Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure!

If you don't wish to buy a raincoat, you can choose to dry yourself at the drying pods.

Here at the WaterWorld show, we sat at the back to avoid getting wet. If you're seated in the first few rows, they will make sure some of you get soaked even before the show starts.
