To kickstart the holidays on a smashing note, make your way to Universal Studios Singapore where the Battlestar Galactica twin coasters await you. You’ll have to pick a side between Human and Cyclon before you’ll get to embark on the adrenaline-packed ride. It gives us goosebumps to even think about being on intertwined coasters. 😨
Once you’re done screaming your lungs out, go cool off by meeting your favourite animal buddies from Madagascar for one last boogie and indoor boat ride before the zone closes down after March 27.

Terrified of roller coasters? That makes the two of us. 😛
Skip the scary rides and get going to Adventure Cove Waterpark instead where you’ll be able to chill out in the wave pool or the winding river. Those who are more adventurous should absolutely check out the hydro-magnetic coaster — it’s the first of its kind in Southeast Asia and is surely the highlight of the waterpark!
