[4K] Madagascar Ride - A Crate Adventure - Universal Studios Singapore

[@TheTuubster]

+ A lot of space, huge scenes, long ride - Static animatronic technology.

[@ari-dynamicarchive]

lol, the Gloria hippo animatronic: static, and only the hula dress moving. Classy.

[@vimes1003]

When it comes to adapting a film into a theme park attraction, the designers should try to simulate what the viewers of the film would want to do while watching the film, for example Peter Pan's flight has guests flying over London, Madagascar is about adventure and exploration and having fun and energy, this ride lacks energy, some parts have guests simply watch scenes of the movie again. Scenes were not dense enough and the lighting was off, Some placements of props were in bad places also, and it's very slow and boring, unlike the movie.

[@Haleyangelo]

I was thinking the same thing. This ride was WAYY too long! They definitely should have cut out a majority of the scenes. Most disney dark rides only last around 3 minutes for a reason! They also go quickly and have lots of energy! Even splash mountain, which is the same type of ride, has much more energy than this. I couldn't even watch this whole thing so boring! they really needed to pick key scenes and not try to show all the scenes of the movie. Also the scenes were so wide physically, why did they need to make it so big? Also no drops or anything! Definitely think they could have added lots of thrills! also could have probably afforded better animatronics if they cut out a lot of the unnecessary scenes.

I’m confused, why is there a big lifting row but no drop. Is the whole ride slowly descending.

[@Haleyangelo]

I was wondering that too! I think it's weird they didn't have any from what it looks like

[@awesome22130]

Yes you're correct. The ride is lowly descending. The ride is created to be slightly tilted by a few degrees, so they spend less money on jets and or the technology to be pushing boats around. They allow gravity to do its job by ascending the water and the boat slowly where they really need only a few jets or things to push the boat forward being more cost efficient. It would of been awesome to have a drop but they failed to do so.

[@pejig.598]

I’m wondering maybe it’s a ride for children and it’s not as intense

I think we need a Secret Life of Pets version of Rockn Roller Coaster to replace Shrek 4D, just no Aerosmith theming. Instead of being late for a concert, you try to escape the animal control and also instead of rushing through Los Angeles, you go through New York City landmarks. And the trains will be just like the super stretch limos but will be painted to be like a old fashioned taxi. And you get a different pet, and different music. I also think a realistic moving Snowball animatronic for the rides preshow and I think it could be sponsored by PetSmart. Like the idea.

[@jean-claudelol563]

This is a cute ride, they need to add it to one of the US based Universal parks. Not as a replacement for another ride but in addition to what is already there. It kind of reminds me a bit of Disney's it's a small world except with animals instead of people.

[@gabbyhaynes5394]

it's clearly on a budget but for what it is the theming is really well done.

[@celesbianmegastar]

It’s weird because I feel like some effort was put into decorations and practical effects but the plot/storyline is all over the place, and the voice acting is ROUGH, especially Alex’s? And the lighting is SO off in some places. It’s WAY too dark in “happy” areas, and weirdly red hued, which makes you think you’re supposed to be in a “creepy” part. And the fact that there’s lift hills but not even so much as a slight decline, let alone a drop? And the animatronics look .... ehhh... okay? But the movements are awful, just nonexistent. Then you have things like the Fusa (sp?) head cave, the waterfalls, and the ship crashing scene that impress me. It’s like the team behind this ride was split in half wifi one half fighting to make it awful out of spite and the other half desperately trying to make a good ride.

[@saraaparicio7538]

The box moving effecting in the beginning was nice but i wish they did more of it. The annimtronics were just awful when it came it to the voice acting. It was off that it really bothered me. Even my man melman cannot even be called an animatronic.

I rather see animatronics than screens ngl. Which is why this ride isn’t all that bad. Although I believe this ride could have been executed better if they used the second movie instead of the first one. You would be able to see all those animals and the beautiful landscapes of Africa. You could even have the scene in the battle arena where Alex has to fight against the other lion or the scene where Melman is about to sacrifice to the volcano. Idk these are just ideas and yes it would be a bit more expensive but the pay of would be worth it and the whole ride overall would be more exciting due to the scenes being exciting.
