Geret Koper: November 2012

Yes, I am a Theme Park Junkie :p, I love to visit theme park, DUFAN (Jakarta), USS (Singapore), Sega Republic (Dubai) and my next trip on December, i'm planning to visit Legoland and Hello kitty town in Johor Bahru, Malaysia *yeaaayyyy*. Before I''m going to those places, I simply check to their website and search for ticket promotion. If there isn't promotion on the parks, try to contact your travel agent in your country, perhaps they have one. Actually, I already bought the admission ticket from Legoland Booth in Lego Exhibition that held in Gandaria City (one of the mall in South Jakarta) for 1 Legoland ticket it cost me IDR 288.000 from normal price RM140, approx IDR 448.000 (RM 1= IDR 3200)What a big discount right? . On my previous trip to Singapore, I also bought Universal Studios Singapore (USS) ticket from travel agent in Indonesia, for Weekday normal price it will cost you S$ 68 for adults and S$ 50 for children, but since I bought the tickets from travel agent, I just paid S$62 approx IDR 452.600 (S$ 1 = IDR 7300).

For those who have not come yet to USS, here you go i'm gonna share some info about it.

This Theme Park is located in Resort World Sentosa in Singapore, the easiest way to reach USS is by using MRT and continue with Sentosa Express that may cost you S$3 for round trip or maybe in case you need another exciting way, why don't you try use Cable Car from HarbourFront.

USS have seven zones to explore, I'm start my day with a clockwise direction from the official map

HOLLYWOOD ZONE :

Hollywood street

from the entrance, We will see a huge street with american style buildings on the side, in Hollywood zone we can find merchandise shops and restaurants. It has one theater attraction named "Pantages Hollywood Theater"

MADAGASCAR ZONE :

Madagascar: A Crate Adventure

Now let's ride the movie, in this zone we will feel the "jungle-like-theme" just like in Madagascar movie. We can ride Madagascar: A Crate Adventure or King Jullien's Beach Party-Go-Round. Don't forget to visit Madagascar's Merchandise shop, a lot of cute and cool stuff to bring as souvenir here. *headache already*

FAR FAR AWAY ZONE :

Ogre's House

Shrek 4D

Enchanted Airways

We would see a HUGE PALACE that become a place for SHREK 4D attraction just a step away from the entrance to the Far Far Away Zone. If you have children with you, they can also enjoy Donkey Live (next to merchandise shop SHREK) and Magic Potion Spin (inside the Merchandise shop). Dare yourself with Enchanted Airways, a junior coaster with-not-categories-as-junior-coaster I think.

THE LOST WORLD ZONE :

Canopy Flyer

Water world

You can visit Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, It is a river raft in the dark. There also Canopy flyer, Dino Soarin and Amber Rock Climb. Make sure you didn't miss Waterworld the sensational "live" water shoe, bring your rain coat if you want to seat on wet zone

ANCIENT EGYPT ZONE :

Mummy Revenge

Woohooo, this is another cool zone. I love the experience on the Mummy Revenge ride, We ride it twice. Well, if you not brave enough to ride mummy revenge, you can enjoy Treasure Hunters.

SCI-FI CITY ZONE :

Battlestar Galactica

In this zone, I only played Transformers the ride twice, I'm not brave enough to try Battlestar Galactica: Cyclon or Human. I don't ride the Accelerator as well, too afraid of the dizziness. hahahaha

NEW YORK ZONE :

It said that Sesame street "live" show attraction just released in USS, Woowww, at that time I can only found Stage 28 show and the unique building around.

What are you waiting for? let's come and enjoy the ride

**edited May 14th 2013** Previously Dubai Aquarium hold Guinness World Record as The largest single acrylic panel, Well they have to give the predicate to S.E.A Aquarium in Singapore from now on :D

Yeay, just came back from my AWESOME holiday in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. I spent around 8 days in my uncle's apartment. Dubai is tidy, dusty and sophisticated, what can i say? They built artificial island in a BIG area, with BIG apartment, hotel, town houses and business center on it. They also have the tallest building in the world, it was built in the sandy area hmm desert area. Oh I can believe my eyes.

For today post, I will share about Dubai Mall :)

Dubai Mall is located next to Sheikh Zayed Road, interchange No.1. There are department stores, branded stores, leisure attractions and dining places here. We can easily do a broad variety of shopping from food, cakes, jewelry, perfumes to clothes. The first attraction that extracted me is DUBAI AQUARIUM, they built a huge aquarium inside the mall? I cant believe my eyes. Its size is 51 m x 20 m x 11 m, and also has the world's largest viewing panel at 32,8 m wide and 8.3 m high. I found many variety of fishes in it, sharks, rays, some amazon-big-size fishes and many more. It has acrylic walk-through tunnel, look alike "Seaworld tunnel in DUFAN (Jakarta)" but it's shorter. Admission fee for this attraction is 55AED for combo ticket approx IDR 145.750 (*1 AED = 2650 IDR), we can enjoy dubai aquarium and underwater zoo, and they also have premium ticket 80AED = IDR 212.000 for adding Behind the scenes tour and gift shop voucher from the previous package. If you want add your experiences by taking glass-bottom boat ride you have to pay 110 AED for the ticket.

oww to bad, they should replace this :(

My other favorite place in Dubai Mall is The Souk. We can find jewelry, merchandise and watches store around here. The architecture is so unique and beautiful.
