Universal Studios - Madagascar

The Madagascar Attractions are King Julien's Beach Party-Go-Round and Madagascar: A Create Adventure.
Loved the detail of the Madagascar characters on the carousel with their crazy expressions.
The Madagascar: A Crate Adventure is a river boat ride with the 4 lovable charcaters, Alex, Marty, Melman and Gloria.
The Penguin Mercantile gift store had lots of assorted keepsakes inspired by the many characters of Madagascar including plush hats, key fobs and T-shirts. 
Dining options included the Casa Del Wild for South East Asian dishes, hot noodles and curries or you could grab some take-away at Gloria's Snack Shack.

Universal Studios - Ancient Egypt

Ancient Egypt has two attractions - Revenge of the Mummy and Treasure Hunters. 
The Revenge of the Mummy is an indoor roller coaster ride that plunges you into total darkness as you come face to face with warrior mummies and scarab beetles. 
Children at Treasure Hunters can drive their own desert jeep through an abandoned Egyptian excavation site.
Archaeology fans can shop at the Carter's Curiosities gift shop and there are lots of replicas of historical artifacts discovered from ancient Egyptican ruins.

Universal Studios - Sci Fi City

The main attraction in Sci Fi City is the roller coaster ride called Battlestar Galactica.  Battlestar Galactica is the world's tallest pair of duelling roller coasters with several inversions, a zero-g roll, a cobra roll, corkscrew, vertical loops and near collisions mere centimeters apart.  The best thing though is you get to choose your side - Human or Cylon, being the different coloured tracks.

Universal Studios - The Lost World

The Lost World is divided into 2 themed areas - Jurassic Park & Water World. 

There's a Dino-Soarin ride where children can pilot their own Pteranodon and a Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure river raft ride that takes you through primeval dinosaur habitats and you get wet.  Water World was a live show, which I didn't bother with.

Jurassic Park was my favourite Universal Studios attraction.  The streets were lined with die cast metal dinosaur heads and the 2 dinosaur statues were absolutely huge.  Each attraction has their own gift shop/s and Jurassic Park has Dino-Store and Jurassic Outfitters. The Dino-Store was filled with Dinosaur plushies and other dinosaur themed novelty items like pens and mould kits and the Jurassic Outfitters had lots of hats, clothing and phot frames.  The Dinosaur plushies were so cute, but I resisted to urge to buy a Steg.

Hershey's Chocolate World

And for the chocoholics, there's Hershey's Chocolate World.  Similiar in size to Candylicious, this store has hundreds of different Hershey's & Reese's products, mostly edible, but some novelty.  Walking through the store, the aromas of caramel, chocolate and peanut butter was quite overpowering, but given the number of people inside getting their chocolate fix, others didn't seem to mind.  The two characters were kind enough to pose for me whilst I took their photo.

Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom

The Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom is located in the Imbiah lookout area at Sentosa.  The Butterfly Park has 3 sections, a Butterfly Aviary, a Bird/Animal Aviary and the Insect Kingdom Museum, which houses 'alive' insects in glass enclosures and pinned insects framed immaculately on the wall.  I've never seen the blue bird in the last photo before.  Does anyone know what it is?

Candylicious

Last weekend was spent at Sentosa.  Labelled Asia's favourite playground, the island is full of fun and adventure.  On my way to Universal Studios, something caught my eye.  How excellent was this - three trees full of dangling candy.  And then I saw the store "Candylicious".  Wow, the store was huge and selection of different candy and accessories were amazing.  I never knew there were 20 different colours of M&M's and you can purchase them separately should you choose.  I thought about doing a Barney Gumble under the dispensers along the back wall, but that would have been a CLM (candy limiting move).  I bet you can't believe that I didn't make a purchase, this time  :-)
