Globe at Universal Studios park in Sentosa in Singapore

Adventure parks are a magnet for people the world over; with their set of attractions including rides, shows, and thrills, they draw in a huge number of visitors. One of these adventure parks is Universal Studios, which has adventure parks spread over the world, in 4 locations. One of these is in Singapore, in the island of Sentosa. Sentosa by itself has a number of tourist attractions such as water parks, adventure rides, a sky tower, and so on, and Universal Studios is one of the bigger attractions in the place.

Right at the entry of the park, there is this big spinning globe, the symbol of Universal Studios, and a lot of visitors take their photos taken with the globe. The globe spins slowly, in a water enclosure and with mist emerging from the base, and it does look beautiful. And of course, it is just the precursor; the fun you get when you enter and start the rides is immense. I loved the Transformers ride, the Egypt ride (which is a sort of roller coaster in a closed dark environment), the Dinosaur water ride, and so on. All, lots of fun. Some of the shows were also good to watch.
