I had a great day at Mega Zip Sentosa!
I was in Singapore for a conference, and literally "zipped" over to the island right at the end of the day to experience the zip line before leaving. I was able to take an Uber directly to the site; you get dropped off at the Mega Zip entrance (no vehicles allowed). From there, it's a short hike up a semi-steep hill to the zip line. I had to use the bathroom after the 5ish minute trek. I was pointed to a row of port-o-potties much to my dismay, but this is good for folks who will be there all day!
There were only a couple of people ahead of me at the entrance. They display the obstacle courses and prices before you get to the counter to pay. I paid 29 SD for the zip line ride only; they had a half day package for something like 40 SD which I thought was a good deal. After paying, you head over to the benches to sit in the shade and wait your turn. While waiting, you are given a knapsack for your possessions, and a small backpack for your valuables (these go with you on the ride). I had brought my work laptop, iPhone-wallet, passport, and other things I definitely would have left home had I not been coming from working. But they all fit in the little bag, and I was able to comfortably ride down to the beaches on Sentosa. I went around 5pm on a Saturday, and from drop off to zip's end I was there less than an hour. So late evening is a good time to go.
4 stars only because my professional photos were kinda sucky. I spent the first half of the zip time facing the departure point, where the camera woman was, and the last half turned the opposite direction, but there aren't any pics of me facing the departure point. I was a little disappointed in the pics but bought a couple anyway to have a memory; they were more expensive than the ride itself, so I suppose this is where they make their money. I could have sworn that I read on the website that there was an optional video, but I wasn't offered any such video, only the photos. I really think they should consider offering video footage for real, especially since there's so much time between everyone's zip. Other than that it was a good time.
Walk over to Beach Station for food, drinks and more fun if desired.
