There are a few ways to spend a day in this fun theme park.

a. Queue up for all the exciting ride and prepare to get wet
b. Catch some of the stage performance and queue up for selected ride
c. Plan your timing on all the Stage/Street performances & character meet timing
d. Do whatever you like... hahaha



The view from ticketing booth

Before I went into the park, I grabbed a Studio guide and a sheet of performances schedule. Got myself familiar with the place and planned according to the stage performances timing...






Kowabunga Kove
The wackist, kitschiest, capiest beach blanket singing sensation of the session! @Hollywood area.



Next I joined the queue for Monster Rock @ Pantages Hollywood Theater
I enjoyed watching the infamous Universal monsters singing and dancing in a rock-n-roll musical. Very good sound and light effect... however no photography allowed.



Party-Go- Round
Fun ride for kid...I had tried the ride too :) Am a big kid!


Took this photo of Far Far Away from far far away...

Next I ventured into a place call Far Far Away...

"Movie stars, talking donkeys.…the land of Far Far Away showcases lifestyles of the rich and fairy taled. See how successful fantasy characters live within tall, graceful walls sweeping over a pavilion-covered courtyard."

Shrek 4-D Adventure
Let see, hear and FEEL the action right in your face. Hahaha, I liked the effect especially on the seat. I felt like in the adventure with Shrek & Princes Fiona....


The entrance to Donkey LIVE

Donkey LIVE
Had a chance to interact live with Shrek's sidekick DONKEY :)




Magic Potion Spin



Enchanted Airways
I climbed aboard Donkey’s beloved Dragon for a flight over Far Far Away and beyond. Took the front seat and had a short feel of wind, it ended too fast... ...no kick sia.





Happily Ever After
Meet up with Shrek and princess Fiona. I liked this family reaction while everyone was focus on Shrek and the mom kept asking them to look at the camera....



The WaterWorld @ The lost world
Witness death-defying stunts,awesome explosions and thrills at this sensational 'LIVE' show








meet the actor photograph session

Next jumped straight to the Ancient Egypt



Didnt try the Revenge of the Mummy, because I didn't want to lock up my gear, so i decided to take a rest and shot the army of Anubis instead.





Sci-Fi City
The city of the future has arrived. Both Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN & Battlestar Galactica: CYLON were under maintenance.

I tried the Accelerator.... turning turning & turning... hahahha, I almost saw stars after 30sec



After Sci-Fi city, I reached New York...

Saw people calling, quickly joined in the queue... ... Lights, Camera, Action!

The only indoor area, where photography is allowed....


Very good effect, I felt I was in a disaster movie...



The Rockafellas brought us an up close and personal taste of B-Boyin.



And of cos don't forget to meet the Univeral cast of Characters, from the glamorous Marilyn Monroe to the wacky Woody Woodpecker and more, along the legendary Hollywood Boulevard.
