A new family ride will open at Universal Studios Singapore (USS), based on the world’s longest running children’s TV show, Sesame Street. On 1st March 2013 (Friday), visitors will be able to experience the new “Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase” indoor ride. Said to be the world’s first immersive Sesame Street-themed ride, it will feature 12 of the show’s characters, including the popular Elmo, plus three brand new characters.
But we get first dibs and we hear that the three brand new characters, especially created exclusively for this ride are named:
- Macaroni the Merciless
- Zester
- Shredder
The science-fiction-inspired indoor ride will also feature a range of special effects. But the best is yet to come.
To celebrate the launch of the “Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase”, USS will host a special “Sesame Street Carnival” between 1st March and 3rd March, transforming the park’s New York zone into an extension of Sesame Street. The carnival will include festivities such as giant board games along the street and character meet-and-greets.
Also newly launched is a Sesame Street Character Breakfast at Loui’s NY Pizza Parlor, allowing early bird guests to start the day with Sesame Street characters and be among the first to board the ride before the park opens.
Starting at 9am on weekends and selected holidays, tickets are priced at S$44 for adults and S$32 for children. They include a day pass to the park.
