Conquered the Battlestar Galactica Roller-coaster!




Conquered the Cylon(blue) alone! And the Human(red) one too! Loved the blue one, the feeling of being suspended in mid-air, upside down twists and turns. The red one was just really fast. Heart-racing indeed T.T

I wondered how the person can hold on to the camera and filmed it so nicely without it flying off his hands. LOL. Figured that he probably mounted it onto one of the seats with permission haha.

Some people recorded through their handphones too but were shaky. Oh man it's damn cool to record the entire ride, then can look back at it. :S But I think the handphone would probably fly off my hands if I were to do so hahaha!

Shall go Universal Studios Singapore again to ride the Battlestar Galactica! Only rode both the red and blue rides once each. I felt that the red ride was scarier? :S Don't know if it's because it's the first one that I took that somehow you were more mentally prepared for the second one. Hahaha.

Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN®
You are actually seated and your feet is on the 'ground'. The speed is really fast! At about 82.8km/hour according to USS :O The video above doesn't do the ride justice as it is really much faster and the G force at those turning points are quite strong.

Battlestar Galactica: CYLON®
I prefer this! Hahaha. As it is actually a suspended roller coaster! :D And my legs are hanging freely in the air, I liked the freedom of my legs hanging in the air as compared to the red one :S It's more exciting though, with all the upside down twists and turns. Hahaha, but oddly, I didn't feel as scared as compared to the first (red) one that I took.

And one more amazing fact is that, it is currently the tallest dueling coaster in the world; tipping at 42.5 metres (139 ft). Wow, now I know why both the red and blue rides MUST move together, regardless of whether there is enough people or if there is no people on the other one. Dueling roller coasters yeah.

There are a lot of 'near' collisions between the dueling roller coasters. Hahaha. Cool! From the picture, there is only a short distance between the two. :O

Shall update next on the pictures taken during the visit to USS!

Go ahead and take it! Scream your lungs out! :D
