Revenge of the Mummy
This is another thrilling ride that you simply must try if you are at Sentosa’s Universal Studios in Singapore.
Also taking place in the dark, you are transported into an Egyptian tomb and must do battle against Imhotep, the main anatagonist of the Mummy films. They must also look for the Book of the Living, which is embedded somewhere inside the tomb.
It is a heart-stopping roller coaster ride in the dark that is full of twists, turns, accelerations and decelerations. If you are up for adventure and want to be thrilled, you should definitely take this ride. It is not for the faint-hearted, though.
Personally, I enjoyed this ride and I loved the adventure through the Mummy tomb, and how they were able to completely immerse me into the Mummy movies. But I also found it quite scary at times.
Like the Transformers ride, the queues for this ride can also be quite long, so be prepared to wait, but once again, the wait is definitely worth the adventure, thrills and spills.

Jurassic Park Rapids
In my opinion, this ride is another one that you should try. But I must warn you that you may want to consider bringing an extra set of clothes. This is because it is a water ride and depending on your position inside the craft when it drops down from a 40-feet height, you may be unlucky enough to get completely drenched.
The ride takes you through a compound that is much like that in the popular Jurassic Park movies. There are plenty of Velociraptors grazing there, adding to the drama and tension, especially when you enter the building and hear the simulated cries of help from your fellow dinosaur park rangers.

When I took this ride, I was lucky enough not to get soaked, because my position on the craft did not make direct contact with the water. I really enjoyed the ride too and the special sound effects really made me feel a sense of danger of being eaten by the dinosaurs.
If you are game enough to risk getting wet, this is a thrilling ride that you should try if you are at Singapore’s Universal Studios theme park. Once again though, be prepared to queue.

Great coverage and insightful review on the Rides in USS.
A little update here : The Battlestar Galactica, a star attraction at the Universal Studios Singapore theme park, may be closed forever and the sci-fi themed rollercoaster, which has been closed since July 2013, will be replaced by a new ride by the end of this year.
