October 21, 2012 – Hello everyone! We’re back – this time with an update from Universal Studios Singapore’s “Hollywood” land. Like I mentioned in the video log below, Hollywood is really just an entrance leading up to the rest of the park – which means that it doesn’t appear to hold any of Singapore’s “flagship” attractions. In fact, with the exception of Monster Rock, Hollywood only appears to be home to a collection of shops and restaurants. So in other words, this short photo update will mainly be covering just the atmosphere and theming of the area. If you have…

September 24, 2012 – Hey everyone! We’re back with our final update from Halloween Horror Nights 2012 at Universal Studios Hollywood – this time focusing on all of this year’s mazes. As you probably can see, production values at this year’s event were unbelievably high, and the crowds obviously followed. Talk about a packed event. Anyway, enough of me, let’s get on with the mazes! Saturday, September 22. Packed. Crowds. Everywhere. Thank God for this. Opening ceremonies. Hazy red. Appropriate. Here we go! Let’s paint the town…er…Upper Lot red. For our first maze, let’s take a look at the very…
September 22, 2012 – I’ll cut to the chase: people love Halloween Horror Nights – and for a good reason. We were lucky enough to be invited to the opening night of this year’s Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios Hollywood, and let me tell you that I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. But initial impressions aside, I have to head back up to Universal in a few hours for another night, so I’ll let the pictures mostly speak for themselves – and just so you know, we’ll be focusing on the Eyegore Awards, the park entrance and the Terror…
September 18, 2012 – Hey everyone! Today, we’re going to be taking a quick look at Universal Studios Singapore. In the coming days, we’ll focus on each individual themed land at Universal – so stay tuned for that. But for now, let’s take a brief tour of what Universal Studios Singapore has to offer. Oh, and be sure to check out the video log below for another perspective. Happy reading! So, heading through the gates, we find out that Universal Studios Singapore is actually part of a bigger resort known as Resorts World Sentosa. They offer a full fledged casino,…
August 20, 2012 & August 21, 2012 – Hey folks, we’re back with another photo update from Universal Studios Hollywood. As you might imagine, the park has been packed during the summer season thanks in part to Transformers: The Ride – 3D. We’re now talking hoards of people ballooning wait times for every attraction across the board. Now at this point, you’d be hard pressed to find any ride with a queue under 40 minutes come noon, and Transformers is now averaging a typical 60-70 minute wait time throughout the day. Not bad for a single attraction, huh? (It may…
Page 1 « Page 2 » Page 3 1 | 2 | 3 By mid-afternoon, crowds really started taking off. Consider this an average summer day. Crowds…crowds everywhere… Moving over to the old Wild West arena, more construction for Halloween Horror Nights. Enhance…enhance… …enhance…enhance. Looks like a bunch of twigs. From the back. whoops! So, moving away from Halloween Horror Nights, let’s head on over to the Studio Tour. Filming near JAWS. Anyone ever hear of GSF? They’ve been working on this stretch of road on the backlot for the past few weeks now. I’m assuming they’re simply retrofitting some…
Page 2 « Page 3 1 | 2 | 3 But heading towards the Lower Lot, let’s take a look at a new exhibit. Still packed… Universal has been highlighting their new feature film “ParaNorman” throughout the park, but especially at the NBCUniversal Experience. The miniature sets are really exquisite. It’s remarkable how much detail is packed into something so small. So, that wraps things up! This was a relatively short update, but stay tuned for a comprehensive trip report from Universal Studios Singapore and updates from this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. In the meantime, do check out our forums…

Released in 1999 as a wildly popular video game, Silent Hill follows the journey of a writer as he searches for his lost daughter in an alternate dimension based in a fictional American town.
