How sad my sunday passed by this quick and it's monday all over again! I'm already "suffering" from pre monday blues!! Especially after all the fun I had today meeting new awesome fellow blogger friends from the Philippines, spending some time with awesome kick-ass people and the fantastic blow-your-mind off rides at Sentosa 4D Magix (I'll come to that in a bit)!

Well, I've heard of Sentosa 4D Magix but I've never tried their rides until today! And MAN, it's fantastic!! I really enjoyed myself heaps! At the rate of me repeating how awesome it is, OF COURSE IT'S AWESOME!!

Some group photos before we head on to try out the exciting rides for the day! Aren't you curious to know what these rides have to offer? How fun and mind blowing it can be?

Read on to find out!


First ride on the list was the Extreme Log Ride! 

Extreme Log Ride is an interactive movie experience with 4-dimensional digital effects springing movies to life. It is Singapore's FIRST Cinematic Ride. With 9 motion capsules nestled within the cool theatre and all operating on a state-of-the-art 6-axis motion system, objects come to life right off the screen. To top it off, wind blasters are added to mimic a roller coaster ride!

 while queuing, these lovely group of guys came and entertained us during the wait.
not to worry about long waits and getting all bored, cause you'll definitely be entertained by their performance!

here we are seated and snapping away in the capsule.
very importantly, please put your seat belts on!
it's gonna be one whacky ride!

AND indeed, it sure was one whacky ride! Evalee was the quietest during the ride while zerika and i were having a good time making heaps of noise as we follow through the log journey! that was how engrossed we were (in different ways) haha! well, i'm not really a fan of roller coaster rides cause i really hate those 90 degree drops and such. furthermore, i've issues with heights! what makes this roller coaster ride amazing is.. i can quit being a coward and have fun while experiencing this awesome and pretty cool roller coaster ride without having to sit the REAL one. adults of all ages and kids are definitely going to love this ride and i'm definitely sure they will enjoy it.

Up next! We headed to our next ride, Pirates 4D.

Follow the hilarious misadventures of Captain Lucky and his band of pirates in search of hidden treasure. It's a thrilling journey from start to finish, with traps, cave bats, hornets and surprise galore! The movie not only makes you jumps off the screen, it comes to life! Feel every shake and bump as it happens on screen, including windy gusts, water sprays and more!

 having fun while queuing!

 that's how green we look without flash!
we blend well with our "surroundings"

Walking into the theatre, it felt like Shrek 4D at USS. The sitting arrangement and all looked pretty similar. There were couple of times where we shouted (as to why we shouted.. I don't want to be a spoiler. You need to experience it yourself to know why! Not to worry, it's definitely fun and NOT scary)!!

And sadly, our last ride for the day which was Desperados in 3D.

First 3D interactive Shoot-out Theatre in Singapore providing shoot-out gaming experience with hand-held motion sensor guns while riding on a moving saddle.

The 3D element brings a whole new experience to this interactive shoot-out game, testing the rider's sharp shooting abilities while dodging bandits! The rocking saddles and up-beat rhythms throughout the show give the audience extra adrenaline boost while they score through the dusky town and ominous mines.


 look at all the serious faces, busy shooting away.
you get two chances to shoot.
one trial, one actual.

the number of hits i got at the end of the game!
whooots! i myself am amzed as well. haha! (:

WOW!! 
check the scores for all the top shooters!
i'll need more practice! o.O


I game really tests your focus and accuracy, at the same time the tension gives you an adrenaline boost as you try to shoot your targets to get more hit points! What makes it even better is having to sit on horse-like saddles and galloping away as you shoot your "enemies" down. It's also what makes you concentrate and focus very seriously! Well, may be i'm competitive. I've always loved shooting games such as this! I really enjoyed this game while at the same time it sparks up my competitive mode! It's REALLY awesome. If you're into shooting games, i'm sure this game will being you lots of fun and laughter along with your love ones and friends!

Interesting Facts Time:
