Universal Studios Singapore Rider Safety

Universal Studios Singapore prioritizes guest safety, ensuring all rides and attractions meet strict safety standards. 

The park enforces height and health restrictions, conducts regular ride inspections, and has trained staff ready to assist. 

With these measures, you can enjoy a thrilling yet safe experience throughout the park.

Here are the key rider safety measures that Universal Studios Singapore has implemented.

Universal Studios Singapore gets over 4 million visitors a year, so it’s best to book your tickets early. The General Admission ticket is the most budget-friendly, the Express Pass helps you skip lines, and the VIP Pass offers a premium experience.

Height and Age Restrictions

Universal Studios Singapore has height and age restrictions on rides to keep all guests, especially children, safe. 

Each ride has a minimum height requirement, and some attractions need kids under a certain height to be with a supervising companion (aged 14 or older). 

For example, Battlestar Galactica requires riders to be at least 125cm tall, while family-friendly rides like Sesame Street Spaghetti Space Chase allow children as short as 92cm if they have a companion. 

Some rides also have test seats to check if the safety restraints fit properly. 

Hand-held infants are not allowed on certain attractions, and all riders must be able to sit upright without help. 

A few rides, like Magic Potion Spin, even have a weight limit of 200kg per gondola. Following these rules ensures a safe and fun experience for everyone at the park!

Service Animals and Assistive Services

Universal Studios Singapore welcomes service animals in most areas, including attraction queues, shops, and restaurants. 

However, some rides, like Battlestar Galactica, Revenge of the Mummy, and Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure, do not allow service animals for safety reasons. 

You can use portable kennels while enjoying these attractions and a designated walking area is available near WaterWorld. 

The park also provides assistive listening devices at select attractions like Shrek 4-D Adventure and WaterWorld, ensuring guests with hearing disabilities can fully enjoy the experience. 

For added convenience, captioning is available on selected screens in queues and attractions, including Lights, Camera, Action!, and Shrek 4-D Adventure. 

If needed, you can request additional assistance from team members to ensure a smooth and enjoyable visit.

Storing Your Belongings

To ensure a safe and hassle-free experience, Universal Studios Singapore requires you to secure loose items before riding certain attractions. 

Rides like Battlestar Galactica, Revenge of the Mummy, and Puss In Boots’ Giant Journey do not allow bags, cameras, or video equipment, so these must be stowed in lockers or left with a non-rider. 

Guests with prosthetic limbs may need to remove or secure them on high-speed rides like Jurassic Park Rapids Adventure and Transformers: The Ride. 

For safety reasons, photography and video recording are restricted to select attractions. 

If an item is lost during a ride, you should ask an attraction attendant for assistance instead of attempting to retrieve it themselves. 

By following these rules, you can enjoy your day at the park without worrying about your belongings.
