Not too bad for a theme park and queues weren't very long. Only that Madagascar was closed for renovation. I did manage to take most of the rides in one day!

Reading the reviews I was very apprehensive about going. This would be our third time going to universal studios in Singapore in 5 years and we had read some pretty poor reviews. Currently operating with reduced days, so we did have to plan which day we went and we chose a Thursday. Gates were open at 11:45, with some rides commencing their runs at 11:55.
We did not notice any difference in waiting times from when we visited pre-pandemic. Wait times for the Battlestar Galactica ride has always been around the 50 minute mark so don’t be discouraged when this has been written in other reviews. It has also been at 90 minutes (this was a New Year’s Eve night), but on this visit there was only 50 minutes max. I was waiting with the youngest child while my eldest son went on the ride.
The food court by the lost word / Jurassic park section is not open but there are plenty of food options - there is a pizza bar in the Sesame Street section, American Diner (Mel’s) off the Main Street, and in far far away some nachos, hot dogs and things.
I’m not sure about the comments regarding no meet and greets, as we saw a number of these occurring. There were minions, Elmo and Oscar, Shrek and the Transformer character. These occurred throughout the day. Minions were every 2 hours.
All rides were operating and there were no staggered times.
Water world show is not currently running.
This was on par with our previous visits.
Overall, a great day for our family which we thoroughly enjoyed.

My first visit to USS although I am a local. The architecture makes me feel like I am overseas!
Queues were long for the more popular rides although I heard it used to be even longer before the pandemic. Most rides were open when we visited.
Locker area was crowded. Staff warned us that we will get wet at the water boat ride but they charged for the locker. Why spoil the whole experience for the guest when we have already paid for the admission tickets?
Staff at most rides could be more polite, after all they are reflecting the Singaporean hospitality, which at times isn't great.
Given that we are still in the pandemic, I would appreciate if staff enforce the mask wearing indoors rule and on the rides. Many pulled down their masks while queuing indoors or after the water boat has left the main station.
We spent about 5 hours in the park and didn't buy any food.

Rides were all operating, though the two roller coasters only operated one at a time. Entertainment is still not up and running. Masks need to be worn in all indoor areas - including rides. Plently of people though - with some queues over an hour, so not sure why they don't extend hours beyond 12pm to 7pm. We did still manage all the rides we wanted to go on.

The park is operating reduced days and reduced hours with limited rides but no reduction in prices and apparently no reduction in number of tickets sold. Ride times displayed were a joke - 30 minutes was actually 3 hours - kids were stranded in long queues without phones, water or food, distressing parents who were waiting. Some rides were advertised as open 12-3pm only which caused rushes but they actually opened until 7pm so communication a big issue. Searches to take phones off people were random with some hiding them or simply by-passing searches - given that there were free lockers by the rides this was unnecessary. The lockers were free for a period but then a charge kicked in which was a nasty surprise after waiting 5x the indicated time!!! The priority queues are also an issue as again only random checks so plenty of people using these lines without paying and it was also random between rides as to how many priority and normal customers were allowed on. Staff were generally grumpy and unhelpful.

Waste of time and money.huge dissapointment.
The sign says 20 minutes waiting but we waited an hour for each attraction. After 3 attractions it started raining and they closed most of the attractions so we left. We didnt want to wait 2 hours for an attraction.
The tickets for this park are expensive. I dont think one should wait an hour for a ride.

If you think you are going to experience anything like Universal in Orlando then think again :( Busy, disorganised and if you double the estimated waiting time for each Q that’s closer to the truth. Staff unfriendly, unhelpful and down right rude. On a positive note part of the park was closed when we visited so that saved time. Save your money and do another excursion instead. Visited July 2022.

Some great rides. But way too much waiting time! We spent an hour in line on The first ride. Then bought Express passes for The whole family. Cost a fortune - but without them you can forget about going.
Bring your own food. Or spend another hour waiting for a mediocre burger at Mels diner.
Would gve 1/5 for The experience of The park - but some of The rides were great: Transformers, Mummy, Battleship

The park had a lot of rides, and all of them were quite good. The transformers ride was definitely the highlight. Facilities were also good. However, the park doesn’t have much for kids like Disneyland/Legoland, so they might get a bit bored.

Do the Universal express passes sell out. I plan to buy them at the entrance as rhea are sold out on 3rd party sites for the 12th August 2022 but is there a possibility they won't be available to buy at all at the park?
I didn't realise I need express when I booked the tickets originally.

Hello, I'd read that senior citizens can get discounted tickets but on the official site, the only choice is between child (4-12) & Adult (13 & above). Have they been discontinued? Thanks.

Hi. After Covid, do you know if the park still offer “the Universal Studio Singapore after hours” and on which dates? Would like to see the parade in the evening.
And Is Sunday more crowed than Saturdays usually or vice versa? Thank you

Is it worth going to the USS in August 2022 (on a Sunday) considering all the reviews stating long queues, closed rides, and risk of rains? I've never been to a US before so was really looking forward but i don't want to spend so much for an underwhelming experience. Thank you.

Hi,
I would be travelling to Universal Studios Singapore on 9th of August,2022 with my wife.
Are there separate tickets for the rides inside or just the tourist one-day admission ticket enough ?
Loen Risu
Warsaw, Poland69 contributions
The one-day admission ticket will be enough. There are some separate tickets for activities, but the rides are all part of the entrance ticket.
Do i need a separate admission ticket if i decide to buy a express unlimited pass?
What would the cost be?

Yes, the express passes (unlimited or otherwise) are upgrades to an Universal entry ticket. Buying online it wont let you see the express passes until you have base tickets in your cart. As I type USS entry tickets are 81SGD for an adult (age 13+) or 61 for a child (4-12).
Prices may go up as USS goes back to full capacity and full opening times - before the pandemic there were peak and off peak prices for different tickets sometimes.
