Gnome Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 They're getting an incredible hulk! Â It's pretty much a very condensed US with some IOA thrown in it. I have to say I'm jealous. THey should just completely redo USH and make it good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weesen Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I wonder what kind of attraction would the Fast and Furious and the King Kong attraction be like. Hazard a guess of simulator for the former and some kind of ride through for the latter. AT least we know that Journey to Madagascar would be a river raft ride like Popeye's. Â I think the Hulk coaster placement is great and would give vantage views over the park. Hated the placement of Hollywood Dream the ride in USJ. Wonder if this new Hulk would have onboard soundtracks since that B&M junior hyper has? Â WOuld T2 3D really be added? It seems to be already quite overcrowded and think that this is rather outdated and not really a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted February 5, 2007 Share Posted February 5, 2007 Yea, but the Singaporeans aren't aquainted with "super" yet so they'll laugh thier heads off for the first 4 years that its there, then they'll grow sick of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axman Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 This park sounds like an eclectic mesh of Orlando and Hollywood. I'm very curious to see how Hulk turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gav Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 It seems like a very cool twist on Dueling Dragons is planned now:  http://www.rwsentosa.com/en_universalstudio.html  This movie theme park features 24 rides and attractions, including a truly innovative pair of dueling coasters--one seated and one suspended--that are locked in aerial combat. Exciting loops, sudden turns, breathtaking drops and thrilling near-collisions will make you scream out loud.  If this is the case there is no doubt I'll be visiting soon after opening.

DCody Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Sorry to dredge this up this thread. I was at a fancy party tonight, and a friend of mine randomly told me that one of her new clients is a bigwig at a Singapore theme park. Â Anyway, she said that the guy told her that the park is about to construct a stand-up AND sit-down coaster that intertwine. I knew she had to be talking about Universal. And now that I've read the thread, I see that she definitely was. I wonder if she confused stand-up with suspended? Â Anyway, that's all I got-- just some confirmation from a random, non-coaster-y person. Sounds like a badass ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DenDen Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I think I saw somewhere that it is a sit-down and inverted mix, and its themed to Battlestar Galactica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packfanlv Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^Unless you've visited Genting Highlands (which is owned by the same company) then you are a little worried. Â Seriously though, I have seen the massive site that this park will sit on and the location is awesome. I hope that this park turns out great. (I think Universal will hold them to a high standard!) They also seem to be putting it in the right place and I think Singapore with its population and tourism can support it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 This park sounds like the ultimate mix of thrills and fun rides. Commenting on the dueling coasters, the video on the Universal site says that it will be themed to Battlestart Galactica featuring a suspended and sit down coaster. In my opinion, this will either be a really cool concept or it will miss the mark completely. One of the coasters is supposed to have inversions, loops, etc while the other is supposed to be more hilly and, for lack of a better word, turny. So we have a dueling inverted and sitdown with one doing loops and the other just coasting. So I say again, I think this will either be hit or miss because of the nature of the coasters and the dueling. Regardless, the park seems to be a mix of IOA and US which should make for a unique park experience. Can't wait to see this park further along in construction.

Jew Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 ^^I think having everything that comes with the Universal brand will make a huge difference. There's a lot of experienced Universal people involved with the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

typo86 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Found this Flickr page...Here...There is a May 4th update with supports up, dueling coaster track, and more...Things are beginning to heat up with the project... Â -Tony- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 That's really starting to take shape and looking good. Can't wait to see more of it as it progresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^^ I looked through all the pics and haven't seen a trace of any coaster track, let alone the dueling coaster's track. Can you provide a link to the track pics? Â EDIT: If the park were really building a sitdown and stand up, the only companies that build both sitdown coasters and stand up coasters are B&M and Intamin. Intamin hasn't built a coaster for decades though, which leaves B&M, which has mysterious yellow track sitting outside of it at the moment. Hmm....

themeparkman25 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^You can see some blue track on page two. Its still a not very large picture though. Â -There is some red track too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^^ Yes there are: From that Photostream... Â I think that this might be a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Hmm, red and blue non-B&M track... Perhaps a non-B&M Dueling Dragons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Awesome, so that means that the yellow B&M track is not for Battlestar Galactica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loefet Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^^ It have been known for some time now that it will be a Vekoma dueler with one side sit-down and one invert. Â Not Dragons but Battlestar Galactica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themeparkman25 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^And the invert should be pretty intense and the sit down will be directed more towards families. That is according to screamscape at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netdvn Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^^ The track looks a lot more like Premier track than Vekoma track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Divv3k Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 ^ It's a newer style Vekoma track to support trains that are four abreast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
