JPO-USS-JPO Part 3 (15 Nov 2012)

Ok now allow me to continue from what i left in my earlier entry.

We proceeded to the Lost World section, where we took our first ride of the day i.e. the Canopy Flyer.
The queue was way too long that the kids mumbled and keep on complaining "mama mama kenapa orang tu laju kenapa kita kena beratur panjang??" Kids being kids they don't quite understand when i explained "alaa orang tu beli express pass..kita normal pass jer..mama tak beli sebab mahal!" Ohh that time seriously  i kind of regret for not having the express pass. Never thought that we would have spend more than 1hr just for the ride...mmg ketaq lutut la beb... mengantuk pon ade menunggu :p

This is the Dino Soarin..located next to the Canopy Flyer. This one even ammar can ride the thing but again the queue was very long.. some more Ammar was quite sleepy during that time hence my hub decided not to queue up. Firas already mentioned that after Canopy Flyer he wanted to try out this dino soarin!

That person obviously was not me. Tapi inilah the Canopy Flyer. Looks simple and not challenging kan but trust me once you're onboard and the thing takes off you will be like....ah ahhh cepatlah habis cepatla stop!! I sit next to Firas, while Idlan sits next to his cousin Aiman. I practically shut my eyes throughout the ride sambil menjerit...."Firas ok tak Firas ok tak?" Uh uh sebenarnya mama yg tak ok!! Jantung rasa macam nak melayang bila benda tu tetiba pusing like 90 degrees...ala-ala roller coaster kids version la hikhik. I surprised Firas enjoyed the ride that he even wished to repeat again....sori son the queue was too long...some more mama masih lagi rasa terkejut! Can't believe i survived the ride though haha

The Far Far Away section. Ammar still sleeping...sejuk sebab baru lepas hujan syiokla kan!

Shrek or maybe Princess Fiona's castle

the kids posing with the giant Shrek. Idlan takut Shrek sebenarnya though i think he is quite cute actually :p

some food eateries at the Madagascar section. That is Marty the zebra.

the penguins!

and also king julien's yang sangat lorat :p

Sesame Street characters of which Ammar was so excited upon seeing them!

Madagascar the crate adventure. A boat ride that will take you inside the dark tunnel housing the various Madagascar's characters...mmg menarik. This one Ammar and budak kecik mmg boleh naik :)

Abah kind of excited dpt jumpe big bird ke? hehe

We had lunch at the Mel's Drive. Mmg sedap burger diaa...sedap dan besar dan kenyang! One meal will cost you around $12-$15.

Mmg lapar giler time nih...lapar dan lenguh kaki actually

aahaaa dare to take the challenge? haha definitely not me la ok....even if you pay me 1k i would need to think 100th times before deciding to ride this thing. Rasanya boleh sakit jantung kalo ai naik!

ececece orang tu posing depan Human. dia pon tak naik jugak finally :p

haaaa if you offer me to ride this thing many many times i am more than willing n happy to do so. This is called the Accelerator. Ala2 tea cup version tak pening...tak pening sebab kerusi dia besar....best giler pusing2 dlm ni. Tapi of course not thrilled and challenging even for a small kid like Ammmar :p

happy faces. Dah kenyang dah tido dah main...sukela dia!

the bumble bee

The Boogie Street show around 5pm kot...featuring Madagascar characters...tapi sekejap je derang menyanyi...

the tricky penguins

Alex the lion, Gloria the hyppo...and king julien's

otw for a boat ride at the Madagascar Crate Adventure

maximum 3 person in a row

so mama duduk dengan idlan n ammar :)

kotak ni bergoyang-goyang..konon ade hippo dlm tu. Kids asked if the hippo will come out of the box haha

alex

gelap betul dlm tunnel nih...hence accept the blurry pics!

Back to the Jurrasic park section where we rushed to buy the souvenir. Very last minute catch i'd say sebab time ni dah pukul 630pm!

Revenge of the Mummy! A roller coaster ride dlm gelap (not an open air roller coaster) yg penuh dgn hantu2 mummy dan seangkatan dgnnnya. The thrilliest ride i've tried during the trip...sampai skarang masih teringat ok! Roller coaster tu kejap ke depan...suddenly dia pulled us to the back...then pusing ke kiri kanan...ahhhh takut giler!! Idlan senyap sunyi...myself and mak ude jerit ahhhhh ahhhhhhhhhh....rasanya suara kitorang je kot yg dengar hikhik. Bila dia stop rasa lega giler...masya Allah tak sangka i survived the ride....hebat plak rasa kahkah. Anyway ammar and firas confirm tak boleh naik this ride, so kena bergilir dgn en hubby. Second round en hubby naik sorang...tapi tak sangka anak bujangku yang tadi takut tiba2 boleh volunteer nak temankan abah naik lagi sekali...i was like wahhhhhhhh beraninya idlan! Pruz ckp dia siap pegang tangan idlan...takut idlan tercampak hehehe

hari hampir senja....dah pukul 7pm

 

it was already 720pm during this time. Kelam kabut amik gambar depan globe sebab bas patutnya sampai around 730pm.

very nice view during that night...sejuk jer..

kids posing with their Madagascar t-shirt ($19.90 each) & transformers ($26.90). Superlike the t-shirts...comel betul!

okla i just don't have the time to put up a long and descriptive stories...hope the pic helps!

JPO-USS-JPO Part 2 (15 Nov 2012)

I just felt too lazy to transfer every single thing from my memory box and translate those into words. But each trip deserves its own stories and worth be shared with others ain't u think so? Well at least for my own record la kan :p Let's just try to keep it simple and straight to the point shall we?

Tune Hotel Danga Bay lobby

Several computers lined up at the lobby for public use. Free wifi yer tuan puan :)

In front of the hotel lobby where those who already booked for the Odyssey shuttle bus convene and get ready to board the bus. We standby as early as 715am. Ticket price is RM25/pax..regardless adult or kids.

Orang sgtla ramai. Confirmed that majority still prefer to go inside S'pore via public transport rather than self-drive.

Bus lambat arrive ok...so abah killed off the time by doing some exercise with the kids :p

now it's firas's turn!

Finally, we boarded the bus around 8am kots...tak igt dah. The process of getting custom clearance at the Jb-Sing border is quite troublesome i'd say. Turun bas, jalan laju masuk office immigration, then queue utk cop passport and scanning, then turun to the right bus platform, board the bus again and off we proceed to the second check point (Woodlands in Sing). During the second check point u need to bring along all ur stuffs including stroller before they allow u to enter Sing...so for those with small kids n few bags to carry along this is the most tricky and taxing part i'd say. Sampai hubby ckp pasni tobat takmo naik bas masuk Singapore dah :p The whole journey took us almost 2 hours before we finally arrived at USS, despite the distance is only about 25km from Tune Hotel-USS! The traffic is quite heavy with long queue to enter into the immigration office building, so travelling by air would be the most convenient way but comes with a higher cost la kan :p

That morning was a bit cloudy and few minutes before we reached USS the rain drops rather heavily membasahi bumi USS! My oh my we had to change our uniform into ponchos!!

cutie little Ammar now becomes a yellow bumblebee :p First time rasmi poncho nih hehe

Ammar gave us that blur look..probably he was thinking why everybody suddenly changed into those weird yellow-colored uniform :p

USS globe from a far...uwaaaa sedey hari hujan! sgt lebat i tell u huk huk sedey sedey! The entrance was really crowded with visitors as some were stuck and decided to wait for a while for they didnt hv umbrellas or rain coat to protect themselves. Kesian jugak for those who unprepared for situation like this..

Garrett the expensive pop corns! I am not sure how expensive it was, coz i never bother nor do i ever have intention to have some pops over them. I would rather spend some $$ to buy expensive chocolates than pop corns! Anyway depends la pada preference or priority memasing kan :)

Ammar now safe n sound tucked inside the stroller. Again the blurry look from him!

us at the USS entrance. Do not forget the get the USS site map and show time at the right corner of the entrance. there's an Info counter over there, also a restroom.

the crowds that morning. dah ramai ok!

we stumbled upon the kungfu panda, but the Q is way too long that we decided not to Q for picture taking session with him. Since it was still raining, we decided to kick start our tour with Shrek 4D movie at its in house theatre located at the Shrek/Princess Fiona's castle. All of us sat at the motion seat, hence we got the chance to experience the movement and all the effects throughout the movie. Sgt best ok! the storyline is exactly similar with the one we had at the Movie World Gold Coast, it's just that this time i got to seat at the motion section :) Haikal cried at certain parts of the movie...at the cemetery scene kot..ammar was cool and seemed ok. Anyway i put him on my hip, so during certain movement okla dia takdela terkejut sgt. Seriously for expectant mother or baby pls dont choose the motion seats. The effect at times were quite significant that it may pose certain risk to ur pregnancy. Bila scene Shrek naik kuda it felt like u were riding a horse...as strong as that the effect tau. Ada splash air dekat muka, spider naik atas kaki kita...etc. Overall, i rated 5/5 for the 4D movie :)

cant remember what is this...Shrek's house ke? This was taken right after we finished the 4D movie..masih hujan...

Elmo Sesame Street! Disebabkan hujan show sesame street takder...sedey!

Optimus Prime.  You need to Q to take pic with him, and there was option to buy your pic costs at $20.

The BumbleeBee. During this time the Transformers ride was closed due to certain reason, so we had to proceed for other rides.

The Ancient Egypt section. Nice monuments and scene over here...

Firas and ammar panggil benda alah tu 'hantu hantu!!!'

The Lost World action packed show at the Lost World section. We catched the 12.30pm show time...a very enjoyable show with full of effects i'd say, but still cannot beat the dolphin show at the Sea World or even the Steven Speilberg show they have in the Movie World. Yang ni ada tembak2, bot terbakar, orang terjun dlm air, speedboat terbalik, etc...

Ammar almost sleepy during that time...but obviously he forced himself to stay awake..nak tengok tembak2 kot hehe

the set

another angle of the show set

There was a technical glitch happen after 2-3 minutes the show started. They failed to start off the speedboat and we had to wait for about 10 minutes for them to get a back up. At last the re-started the acting all over again hehe klakar plak bila pk

Ok peeps this is already too long i think...let's continue with next entry ya!
