My daughter and I are such Roller Coaster addicts and naturally we were drawn to the Battlestar Galactica: Human vs. Cylon roller coaster which seemed super adventurous, scary, and fun, especially when Universal Studios Singapore is the only Universal Studios amusement park to have a Battlestar Galactica roller coaster. This is a unique dueling roller coaster, with the Human side that is a normal seated roller coaster which actually has a higher speed acceleration as compared to the Cyclon or the Alien side, which is a inverted roller coaster. The Cylon coaster is designed like the Cylon Raider (fans of the franchise will understand, we didn't) suspended from the track with legs free that performs intense manoeuvres that includes five inversions, a cobra roll, a corkscrew, a vertical loop and a zero-g roll. The Cylon coaster also plunges into a 16 ft deep pit filled with artificial fog to give thrill seekers the sensation of a near miss with the ground. It also includes sudden turns close to buildings emphasising the sensation of a near miss. As me and my daughter checked in with the safety belts, we heard the robotic voice stating “This has all happened before. This will all happen again.” And then it hits us, the shouting and the near miss feeling of this roller coaster was superb and is highly recommended. This suspended coaster is capable of reaching speeds up to 82.1 km/h and has 5 inverted parts.
One of the tallest dueling roller coasters of the world, we highly recommend this for anyone who is a fan of the franchise or simplye loves unique roller coasters like us.
From 'lie to fly' to 'fly to lie', you'll experience two full 360 degree inversions in split second gaps and we had very little time to reach. Having tried the coasters at the Ferrari World, Warner Bros in Dubai, Disneyworld in Paris, the Battlestar Galactica Cylon has remained our...
