Battlestar Galactica reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Battlestar Galactica, a roller coaster at Universal Studios Singapore. (The minimum height to ride is 49 inches.)
Written by Robert Niles Two dueling coasters, by Vekoma. The Human track is a more family-friendly sit-down coaster, while the Cylon track is a more extreme inverted coaster, with multiple loops.
Readers' rating:
These dual coasters cater both to riders who like their thrills medium (no loops on the traditional Human-themed coaster) or super-sized (lots of loops and corkscrews on the suspended Cylon-themed coaster). The intermingled tracks make for plenty of interaction between the trains. Plus, the staff here actually make sure to launch the coasters at the same time (as opposed to the Harry Potter coasters in Orlando). The BSG touches- including video spiels from the actors in character - be appreciated by the fans of the show. Note to coaster junkies: Ride Human first. Once you've been on Cylon, Human's milder thrills don't quite measure up. - Bryan Wawzenek After the grand opening of the park, Battlestar Galactica has become the signature attraction. The Cylon side attracts more thrill-seekers, while the Human side has more family riders. Always operating 1 train in each side at a time, the coasters have low capacity. But the lines are generally short all day due to the high efficiency of the ride operators and staff members. Both CYLON and HUMAN sides provide great airtime on top of the hill. The launch upwards was amazing. Overall, Battlestar Galactica coasters are intense, exciting, and fun. Definitely must-try. - Adriel Tjokrosaputro More attraction and restaurant ratings: |
