Another look at the trains interacting in the Cobra Roll and Pretzel Helix.
And this is just the first bit of the course!
Whilst the Cylon riders do the Cobra Roll, the Human riders orbit around them through a pretzel shaped helix.
Human riders first head into the double inversion cobra roll.
The first near miss comes at the bottom of the first drop, with the Cylon track swooping over the heads of the Human track riders.
The launch eases off slightly at the top before both plunge down the first drop.
Both tracks start off with an electromagnetic LSM launch uphill.
Following in the footsteps of Universals earlier Dueling Dragons/Dragon Challenge at Islands of Adventure, this coaster is a twisted tangle of track, where trains running sides have several near misses with each other.
The ride was the first installation of Vekomas new track and train technology. The company has shifted to a more comfortable seating design, where instead of a hard foam harness, the restraint is a very comfortable rubber vest and lap bar.
The walls in the Cylon queue are covered in a mix of flesh and metal hoses, reflecting the nature of the Cylons.
On the Cylon side, guests enter a Cylon 'Baseship'.
One of the 'Colonial Viper' fighter spacecraft the humans use to defend against the Cylons.
The human side queue heads inside the fighter spacecraft bay of the Galactica.
The Human side launches from the 'Galactica' one of the Battlestar warships that house the last remaining humans.
No matter which side you ride, all loose items must go in the lockers before boarding.
As a result of the war with the Cylons, the few surving humans live on spaceships, spending their lives outrunning the Cylons.
The Cylons are androids, part flesh, part machine, who have turned against humanity, destroying human colonised planets.
The Human track is a red sit down roller coaster, without any inversions.
The Cylon track is a blue inverted roller coaster with 5 inversions.
The ride is themed after the critically acclaimed TV series.
