Universal Singapore Transformers Ride : Full Ride Audio, and more

Soft opening of the highly awaited Transformers ride began at Universal Studios Singapore and of course, until the ride will have its official opening on Dec 3 it's not authorised to film the ride. But apparently they didn't said that audio recording was forbidden and, as it's also much easier to do without anyone notice it as you don't have to hold a camera in front of you, a smart USS fan has recorded the full ride audio and posted it on Youtube.

So, here it is and the length of this audio tape also indicates how long the ride is: 4.51 min, almost five minutes, which is great. Enjoy the sound and don't worry, the full ride video should appear anytime soon.




And, talking about images of the ride, USS has just released this video showing new images of the ride, with comments by Thierry Coup, the ride designer. More videos about the ride and pre-show can be watched in my previous post HERE.




Also, a new parade will began at USS starting Dec 31. It will be called "Hollywood Dreams" and USS visitors will witness a parade featuring "intricately detailed floats, special effects, dancers, a custom musical score and some fan-favourite characters". Resorts World Sentosa (RWS) said that the parade will last about 30 minutes, feature a cast of more than 100 performers and will run through five of USS' seven zones once a day on Fridays, Saturdays and selected holidays.

RWS senior vice-president of attractions Dennis Gilbert said: "The immense level of detail is evident in the design of the parade units. Everything about this parade, from the floats to the costumes to the choreographed acts, promises a visually spectacular show".

Universal Studios Singapore Grand Opening Celebration !

It should have happened one year ago but it happened finally: Universal Studios Singapore had today its Grand Opening celebration! After one year with many problems all rides are now working, including the Madagascar flume ride - see a new full ride video below - and later this year the highly awaited Transformers ride.

Talking about the Transformers ride Universal announced this week that the new attraction based on the 1.6 billion dollar Transformers movie franchise will be a simulator attraction, with cars travelling for a quarter of a mile, and rising 60ft in the air. The ride will last for five minutes, and 20-30 minutes of story telling will be built into the queueing time, similar to the way it is done at Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey in Orlando.

Another good news as it was announced today that three more brand new attractions will open in 2013 at Universal Singapore, and two of the three attractions will be unique for the park! Now as you might want to have a look at the grand opening here is the video of it filmed in HD by the Sentosa Blog.




As usual in this kind of Grand Opening celebration many celebrities were invited including Jet Li, Paula Abdul, Maggie Cheung, Fantasia Barrino and Vicki Zhao Wei Lead and the Sentosa Blog have more exclusive videos of them so jump to his site to have a look!
