This week, Universal Studios Singapore opened a family-friendly inverted coaster, Puss in Boots’ Giant Journey, based on the character from the Shrek animated film series.
The Zamperla inverted coaster stands 55 feet tall and contains about 1,400 feet of track.
Guests encounter 23 animatronics characters during the two-minute, heavily themed ride. The ride story is described as follows:
At the theme park’s Far Far Away themed zone, the Giant’s Castle sits ruined, entwined within a giant beanstalk. The quest, nine lives in the making, begins here as Puss In Boots and Kitty Softpaws go in search of the precious golden eggs in a bid to save San Ricardo’s Orphanage, which has fallen on hard times. Guests will join in the legendary exploits of Puss In Boots as they take off on an anti-gravity swashbuckling flight.
Each of the suspended cars seat nine riders each.
John Hallenbeck, Senior Vice President of Attractions at Resorts World Sentosa, said: “The launch of the much-anticipated Puss In Boots’ Giant Journey ride gives guests yet another reason to come celebrate Universal Studios Singapore’s fifth birthday with us.”

The coaster’s opening coincides with Universal Studios Singapore’s fifth anniversary. It’s the first new coaster to open at the Singapore theme park since its grand opening in 2010. It joins four other coasters including Battlestar Galactica and Revenge of the Mummy.
