If you are like me, who loves taking photos of colorful things, then Madagascar is the perfect spot for you.

Before I continue reading this jenny craig review, let me share some photos we took around Madagascar. I don’t think there’s a theme park that has no carousel. But what sets King Julien’s Beach Party-Go-Round from the other carousel is instead of the usual horses, it has the Madagascar characters that kids can ride.

Fun!

I must admit that by the time we were in The Lost World part of the theme park, we were exhausted and still full (from lunch) so we were in no mood for thrilling rides anymore. Plus, my face started feeling sunburned, I should have brought best day creams with me to the park. Oh yeah, I saw some stalls selling sun blocks.

I was suggesting to the husband he rides the Canopy Flyer. (I just realized we don’t have pictures of the Canopy Flyer ride itself so let me just describe it.) It’s like a flying vehicle with your legs dangling. It isn’t fast nor rotating. So it’s just like sitting while your seat moves… in mid-air. But he was in no mood for rides anymore after lunch.

My daughter was in the mood to ride the Dino-Soarin ride though. We have express pass (S$30 for weekdays on top of your regular weekday entrance ticket which costs S$66) so we were able to skip the very long lines.

Far far away attractions are: Shrek 4D, Donkey Live, Enchanted Airways and Magic Potion Spin. I didn’t see 3 of these rides probably because we were in a hurry. We had to do some last minute shopping, and look for the best cholesterol medications that a relative was looking for.

We were browsing for some merchandise being sold at the Magic Potion store when we saw mini ferris wheel that our daughter liked, called the Magic Potion spin.

Btw, we were given S$5 voucher for merchandise (and S$10 for food) for each entrance ticket we purchased. Vouchers can be used throughout the theme park. The food vouchers can be used not only in the restaurants but also at the food stalls scattered around the park.

Packaged with the Luge ride is the Sky ride, unfortunately for me. I’m a bit afraid of heights. I remember I was too afraid of the heights when we rode the cable car in HK Ocean Park, which was enclosed. Now you can imagine my fear as we rode the sky ride which was like a bench, no enclosure, moving up in cables.

It’s a good thing though that I was too afraid to take videos as it started to rain when we were in mid air. I didn’t want the digicam to get all wet. That’s my excuse for wearing that ugly towel over my head. At least, I’m sure I won’t get sick or have any skin infection such as eczema.

What you see in the background is real. That’s how high we were! My daughter was crying not because of the heights but because she was getting wet from the rain.

We stayed in a lodge, YWCA Fort Canning Lodge. It wasn’t as fabulous as Toronto hotels, but I like it and would still recommend as it is very near the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station, which is common for both the red and purple lines.

Day 2 of our trip was dedicated to Sentosa (without Universal Studios as it wasn’t open yet last Monday). I researched about what we can do in Sentosa and decided that we should try the Luge and Sky Ride.

Husband’s ticket to the Luge and Sky Ride is included in his “Choice of Thrill” package so we only had to buy tickets for me and my daughter, which costs S$13 (S$2 for the child if riding with an adult, S$11 for adult).

Here’s a photo (of the photo, too lazy to scan) of us in the Luge.

Photo costs S$15 for 1 photo but since we bought husband’s photo as well, we got the 2 photos for S$20 only.
