@@TylerPlays-ec5cc honestly like I remember being forced on 13 a couple of years back I was like 14 and I loved it but now whenever I go I just can't do it even tho I know I like em
This was my favourite ride easily at alton towers. There wasn't really any fear/anxiety like other rides (even though I do enjoy these aspects). The ride was just pure fun! Ridiculously smooth, and like many have said before, it just feels like you're flying. We rode 3 times - once in the day, once at night, and on the 3rd time we all agreed to close our eyes for the whole ride.. The eyes closed ride was a crazy experience and at times I completely lost track of whether I was going forwards or backwards (definitely reccommend this as an experience).
what's brilliant is there's no stomach drop feeling. I expected there to be especially when u r on ur back dropping down but no the ride is extremely smooth and it feels like ur cruising thru the air
I went on a couple days ago. The smiler is still my favourite, but Galactica is definitely the most unique. You do feel like you're flying, and the feeling of there being nothing below you is insane. Definitely reccommend it.
For people who are nervous to go on rollercoasters I’ve only been on it twice but it is so fun when your laid on your back it is my favourite part it is so gentle I absolutely love it 😊😊😊
I would absolutely love to go on this but I'm scared of rides that go upside down 😅 I get anxiety thinking "what if I barf and everyone gets hit" lmao. Rita is the most exhilarating ride I've been on there ('cause it doesn't go upside down!)
Ooooh my goodness, the reverse view is so trippy! Especially the downward dips! It throws your brain watching this as you want the track, eventually, to be underneath you and, of course, it never does.
I went on galactica back in 2019 and it was slow and relaxing, and then I went a couple days ago it seems like they bumped up the speed way faster. I fully wasn’t expecting it
To me this is the future a roller coasters because people who are afraid of them can go on a VR experience and not have to worry about it they can just have fun you know you don't have to be terrified you can go on a journey and this is definitely the future and I think it looks great I think it's going to get bigger and better and yeah I think it's definitely going to work
I havent been to Alton Towers since 2015. Im guessing this ride used to be called 'Air' as it looks very similar to that. If it is, i remember it being very very relaxing and enjoyable, although im not sure why its had a name change.
It had a revamp to a space theme called Galatica it feaured VR but that has been since removed due to a number of issues it causes, many think it will be revamped again soon
@@eviladam23 ah, thank you. The name 'Air' was a perfect description of the ride. It felt like you were gently and pleasantly flying through the air. Makes little sense why they'd call it Galactica, unless they had a revamp of that area of the park and wanted to tie it in to the rest of the space theme. I'm overdue another visit 😆
@@AmaanStorm Yeah it had a full revamp, new music, new theme, there is a portal you fly through, it has a new station audio telling you whats happening, go check out the advert from 2016, ofcourse VR is no longer a feature on which was the whole point of the revamp, I think it will be revamped again soon.
Oml this is so fun!! Me and my cousin went on this and I sat on the right side middle and I remember as we were going up I saw this couple with a kid doing a video of us I was so scared but I waved when I was going up with my both hands then I realised we were about to drop but I forgot to hold on- AND I GOTBSO SCARED I DIDNT KNOW WHETE THE HANDLE BARS WHERE XDDDD
It's strange, feels awkward as you first lift up in to position but once you hit the brake run and return to the station it's soooo comfortable. Only thing I don't like about this ride is the large section being on your back, it kind of ruins the feeling of flying.
This used to be called Air and was my favourite at Alton Towers, the ride is so smooth I just loved it. Why does it have a new name - there are certainly no changes on track. Only theming change from what I can see is the circle at the bottom of the first drop, at the point where the on ride photos were taken.
My first time at Alton Towers and my first time going on big rides was Sunday 16th May. I went on Smiler, Galactica, Nemesis, Wicker Man, Sonic Spinball. I loved them all. I had already been on The Mallenium at Fantasy Island. But that’s nothing compared to these. They are amazing.
Looked scary, i only saw face down turns in line. Joked about suing the company if i die on the ride, when it started to get insane i loved it! dont be scared of it. do it.
This ride looks like such a gentle experience, even with the inversions! I think I'd make this one of my first rides at Alton Towers if I ever get to go, just to help me ease into the experience.
@@AttractionSource I'll admit, it was The Smiler and its music that beckoned me to look into Alton Towers, but I honestly don't know if I'm brave enough for that one, even though I love its story, themes, music, and merchandise. I wonder if I could build up my confidence in one day, despite having never been on a rollercoaster with a single inversion before?
@@AttractionSource I'll keep that in mind. Thank you! I'll take a look at all these rides and more to see what's on offer! I might wind up in some comments sections of your other videos shortly! =^-^=
idk why but i saw galactica on top 10 scariest rides like im so confused i remember younger me getting upset because i was too small to ride when i was 5 .. 9 year old me was happy when i was finally tall enough!!
I feel like without VR, the station, wheels to the chain, and brake run need a lot of theming work, it currently looks like a work in progress warehouse, where it is supposed to be a futuristic space station.
Love the concept, shame the VR kept failing. Wonder if it'd work with better tech. Hate to say it but my favourite thing about it now is that you get to spot loads of the disused Nemesis queue extensions we spent so much time in back in 94 and 95!
I remember my first time, I almost went on it but I chickened out (regret it so much) and guess what there I was supposed to sit, was THR FRONT.! AHH XD
I’m going to Alton towers in august and I’m kinda scared of larger roller coasters. I was thinking about galactica but I’m not sure about going upside down, should I go on it?
I’m looking through the comments. When I was at Alton towers. It looked fast. People are saying it’s relaxing. I also didn’t go bc the queue line. If I ever go again I’ll sure go on it. Bc I waited a whole hour and half to go on wickerman…

this is definitely the most relaxing ride. you don't feel stressed out waiting for it to start because the music is so calming lmfao
I get scared whenever I try to go in the line for any coaster and then just back out

It’s still there...
@@carrie-anneslight5149 I'm aware....I miss it as in I haven't been for a while !
Does it do that stomach feeling
@@theonewithallthepets8503 Well, all rides will do that depending on how you are effected by coasters. From memory, it didn't with me ❤️
@@theonewithallthepets8503 Sometimes, if you go on th13teen first that usually gets u used to it tho.

Wow these angles in the station are pure unique!

A lovely ride I love Galactica/air
I went on this last week best thing of my lifeeeeee
I went like 2months ago and it was sooooo good
Yeah! Went on the 29th of oct and we were lucky enough to get front row seats in the dark! And there was no queue!
Went for 27 september
It was my fav ride after nemesis
didn’t even think the park was open
Agreed
This is the only ride I didn’t faint on this is the most chill ride at Alton no panicking just fun screaming
Its really quite relaxing without all the normal screaming lmao
That’s because there were no other riders. But I know you mean.
Nobody screams on this lol
@@joevalentino8755 they do lol
@@n0m3ss Ik lol I heard when I went
@@n0m3ss Wow lol
I love watching reverse POVs on smooth gentle inverted coasters. So satisfying and lovely.
For people who are nervous to go on rollercoasters I’ve only been on it twice but it is so fun when your laid on your back it is my favourite part it is so gentle I absolutely love it 😊😊😊
Thanks i think im gonna go on it tmr😮
I would absolutely love to go on this but I'm scared of rides that go upside down 😅 I get anxiety thinking "what if I barf and everyone gets hit" lmao. Rita is the most exhilarating ride I've been on there ('cause it doesn't go upside down!)
Does it go upside down
@@zainabbibi8933 It does but its like, it turns you sideways? If that makes sense

It throws your brain watching this as you want the track, eventually, to be underneath you and, of course, it never does.
The most relaxing flying coaster ever.
this is a really fun ride, no force, no intensity, just really fun
I went on galactica back in 2019 and it was slow and relaxing, and then I went a couple days ago it seems like they bumped up the speed way faster. I fully wasn’t expecting it
THIS IS THE BEST RIDE THERE ONG ITS SO GOOD. Depending
On who you are you may prefer smiler, for me this feels like FREED
Freedom*

@@sigmarules3967 he didnt want to lose the heart
@@bngmapping Oh yeah.
got to be the most relaxing ride there
Agreed
Agreed
Nope
@@Hxb_.10 lmao why not?
In the dark it’s so much more intense ngl and it’s much fastee
The fly to lie section while backwards made a really trippy sensation! Great footage!
It would be 100x better if it had the soundtrack playing on-ride. It would simply be magical.
That drop near the top of the lift hill showing nemesis track is bloody terrifying
That’s the best part.
Also when it turns upside down after the first drop, and the riders are going head first facing the skies. I love that bit!
Not really.
Where?
@@xxitsashleyxx7575 at 2:35 when you look down its super high up
This was my first huge coaster and got to say it was an incredible experience. It will always be my favourite
This is like some coaster to put you in a trance or something it’s so soothing
This is so cool, finally a high quality mounted front and rear pov. Will you be doing Nemesis too?
David Ainsworth thank you. We already have a Nemesis POV in HD - we’ll shoot it again 4K when we get the opportunity.
@@AttractionSource I am honoured to be the first reply to you great person who films the best rides ever
This is so stunning omg
Riding the ride with the headset on is even more stunning!
Sounds like every 14 year old girl on each others ig posts 😂
Air, my favourite ride at AT. Such a beautiful coaster.
it’s so relaxing and you think it will be scary and jolt you but it so smooth and it’s not scary at all
went on this today is was so relaxing omg?! felt like i was flyinggg
Who else immediately wants to go for a pee when they go on a ride? ( Also this ride is brilliant! )
Meee bc I don’t want to pee on the ride lol 😂
😐
Before inverted coasters i pee its weird 😂
As awesome as this video is I have to highlight how beautifully designed that End Card is. Probability the best I've seen on UA-cam, love it.
Im going on this ride next time I go before I go on smiler just to see how it feels being upside down. I’m excited 😛
The angle from the back is the best!
It does look like it's move backwards.👏
Galactic is super underrated it is an amazing ride imo
Galactica backwards would be so cool!
BEST RIDE EVER
I love this ride!! Just wish they would do something with the beginning of it as you pull away from the station..
Let’s be real, who rode this when it was still Air
Me
I was to young to ride air 😥
@Veritas ofc i do lol
I’m still to short
I think I was maybe 11 or 12 when I rode it under the name Air
To me this is the future a roller coasters because people who are afraid of them can go on a VR experience and not have to worry about it they can just have fun you know you don't have to be terrified you can go on a journey and this is definitely the future and I think it looks great I think it's going to get bigger and better and yeah I think it's definitely going to work

Cannot wait to ride :)
Close your eyes and let you arms loose and it feels like your flying
this was my first rollercoaster excluding thirteen and wickerman at AT
safe to say i loved it (i went on it 2 times)
Riding this first time next week. I'm nervous and excited for it.
I’m going this Friday kinda scared bc I ain’t a roller coaster person- 🥸
I hope you had fun friend!
@@yukithefurryy it was really fun but half of the ones we wanted to go on where closed so we’re gonna go back in March :)

is this as relaxing as the video makes it out to be lol
It's definitely the most calming thrill ride there.
I want to go on something more exciting than Flying Coaster 1.
Try flying coaster 2 instead then
@@louiseo4110 what you chattin its all about flying coaster 3
Fantastic video
Is it weird that I love roller coasters but hate to ride them?
You can be interested in space exploration and the hardware without ever wanting to blast off into orbit 😉
Going Alton towers soon and can’t wait to ride this
Enjoy!
Just been on ot for the first time today, mid train was totally different to the front (yes we got the front) and omg what an amazing experience
Glad you enjoyed!

Is this ride fast? What is the G force
47mph, 3.5g
It seems relaxing on their, but oooh when you go upside down 😬
Galacticas awesome!although I felt a bit cold on it because I went in November
after riding this yesterday and it was hauling, it's gone way up in my estimations was riding great!
more intense than usual too!
Init, went on it this afternoon and it’s definitely changed a bit 🤨

For a minute I was like Alton towers got a new b and m ride then was like oh no it’s just air lol
Getting some serious Stargate vibes from the theming, the ride logo and everything 🤔
Bring back air alton towers, its air with a coat of paint.
the only ride that isn’t based purely off hellspawn or other horrifying fates. and yes octonauts applies

What happens if you need to be evacuated from Galactica

It's much tamer compared to the other thrill coasters at AT and a good one to start on!
Last time I went to Alton Towers this was still called Air.
never been on it because i’m too scared!😮💨
Since they've removed the VR, id love for them to bring back air, but add more theming to it, like all of the concept art it had. Imagine...
SWARM/NEMESIS TIE IN
A Flying Coaster from B&M ?
The prototype…
