Ever seen the iconic picture of people posing in front of the USS globe? It’s time for you to get that shot! The USS is Southeast Asia’s first Hollywood movie theme park featuring thrilling rides, amazing 3D performances, and Instagrammable photo spots. Each park’s seven zones are designed after various movie settings, like Jurassic Park and Waterworld. Don’t forget to hop on the TRANSFORMERS The Ride: The Ultimate 3D Battle ride and watch the Shrek 4-D Adventure at Far Far Away show. I recommend you spend the whole day here since you can find many restaurants and resting places.

Skyline Luge

Saving my favorite for last! The Skyline Luge ride is my ultimate go-to attraction while in Sentosa. A Luge is a 3-wheeled cart from New Zealand that slides down the road using gravity. You can control the direction and speed using the wheel. There are various tracks with varying levels of difficulty and length. Make sure to try them all for a full adrenaline experience! After you arrive at the bottom, take a Skyride to get above again while enjoying the majestic forest scenery below your feet and all around you.
