The ride's name is "Sesame Street: Spaghetti Space Chase".


Universal Studios Singapore released a new video teasing the Sesame Street dark ride's storyline:

Luke & the Temple of Fun posted some pics of the ride's playfully themed facade, in addition to a shot of a ride vehicle that appears to be a suspended type.

I'm late to the party here, but Curry does probably most of the cool puppetry you see now-a-days.

Tapestry of Nations, Nemo Musical, Lion King Broadway, Icon Man in BMG at Orlando, etc.

Dejiki posted some pics of the Sesame Street ride's facade, switchback queue, and work happening on the surrounding NYC facades. It is unknown what exactly is happening in regards to the Finnegan's facade, as the current rumors include it either being the ride exit, extra seating for Louie's next door, or becoming an actual restaurant itself.

It's a ride exit complete with gift shop

Never thought I'd live to see Spaghetti in the title of an attraction, so now I have...good to see Sesame Street still alive and well

A link leading to a great review of USS' 2nd Halloween Horror Nights event. Might I be bold enough to say that USS is shaping up to be Universal's best park? It's definitely getting a lot of love in the creative department.

I'm back from two nights of Halloween Horror Nights 2. The Haunted Houses are much better than last year's and the scare zones are definitely more elaborate. The scare factor has been raised by a few levels.

However, the park's attractions were overwhelmed by flood of guests and this is quite an issue at some venues. Opening up Far Far Away and Madagascar didn't help much because most guests would just run through those areas. The event lasts for 4 hours but waiting time for Dungeon of Damnation (Haunted House) peaked at 2.5 hours in the middle of the night. Even the wait time for the shortest Haunted House, Death Alley, went up to 100 minutes!

Waiting time aside, the Haunted Houses and Scare zones were very enjoyable. There were still surprises for me even after my 2nd and 3rd walkthrough.

I cannot deal with how much of a perfect park USS is shaping up to be.

Bravo, Universal.

That gift shop...MY EYES!

Observation: the entrance coming from Louie's needs some kind of casing. It's bothering me...

Vince, I completely agree. I would love to visit USS in the next few years.

Dejiki has posted a quick update about Christmas decorations. There's even a snow machine for the New York area.

I could see some problems with the ride's hourly capacity since it only fits 4 per vehicle.

With dual loading or a magic carpet system, I don't see it being an issue.

Magic carpet system? And even if they did duel load, it would only fill 2/3rds of an E.T. bike.

 

[Cruiseshipfan]

Magic carpet system?

The moving walkway. Example of rides will it, all omnimovers, forbidden journey, rockit.

How many people does Cat in the Hat hold? I don't remember, but I don't think it is much more than 4.

And I agree that the Louiie's side of the shop entrance needs at least some molding.

6, but they load 2 vehicles at a time.

Thanks, I couldn't remember. We are a party of 3, and I think they usually give us our own vehicle. And I would imagine they load 2 vehicles at a time on this ride as well.
