IT WAS her first visit to Universal Studios Singapore.
The trip last Friday with her boyfriend to celebrate her 24th birthday
was an added bonus for pre-school teacher Nurdiyanah Jamaludin.
She was treated to an unexpected preview of the Hollywood Dreams
Parade.
The first show made its debut at 6.30pm last Saturday.
Subsequent shows will be at 6pm every Saturday, Sunday and selected
holidays.
Last Friday, the media was given a preview of the parade, a new
attraction at the theme park.
Much like a mini-Chingay parade, the 30-minute display had 14 magnificent
floats with customised
soundtracks and featured popular movie characters like Shrek.
Miss Nurdiyanah said it was as if the resort was throwing a birthday
celebration for her.
"I like everything here and this is a good surprise for the visitors,"
she said.
Thai tourist Kahabodee Kaljreok, 23, who has been to Universal Studios
more than 10 times, said the parade was a refreshing addition.
He said: "I was here for the Transformers ride but was excited about
this new addition, so I stayed to watch."
The parade, which travelled 688m, will be the 22nd attraction to be
unveiled at the theme park.
