Anyone went to both Universal Studies Japan & Singapore?

I went to USS before but not sure if I should allocate one day for USJ.

USJ compare to USS (personal opinion)

1.) Hollywood Dream The Ride/Backdrop vs Battlestar Galactica
- Battlestar got inversion, more thrill.
- Hollywood Dream has nice selection of music which hypes up the feeling during ride. (the feeling you get when you see a video montage with vs without music)

2.) Flying Dinosaur vs Canopy flyer
- Flying Dinosaur = Canopy flyer on steroids brows.gif

3.) Spiderman 3D vs Transformer 3D
- not much different, but Peter Parker speaks Japanese.

4.) Jurassic Park The Ride vs Jurassic Park Rapid Adv.
- same ride

Other than that, the rest are all are unique ride you wont be able to ride in USS.
**have not been to USJ since Minions opened, so not sure if there is any equivalent to that

Ghibli and TeamLab announced they will be closed as well throughout March.

Redeemed JAL to Tokyo using Alaska Milage trick last year, now to reschedule need top up double the points due to devaluation.....
