    Galactica is so amazing and breathtaking, it’s my favourite ride at towers. It’s so smooth and has some intense parts , and going down the drops in that position is amazing.

    SW7 had the most controversy. The cars crashed and literally caused the ENTIRE park to close for 5 days! Isn't that crazy?!!?!

      The thing you have to keep in mind about that crash is that it wasnt the ride at fault, it was miscommunication between an engineer and operators. Hopefully more training and the like have been put in place to prevent anyone from being able to make choices like that unknowingly. Hardly a controversy, highly tragic but ultimately bad for all present and future riders of any ride.

    They’re both good rides, but Air and Wicker man both seem out of place theme wise for me. Especially Air. I like the ride but it would have suited x sector better. Wicker man belongs in the dark forest to me, maybe where Rita is now.

      Air is Galactica actually understand names and it just wouldn’t work with X-Sector have you seen the theme you think flying will work with a secret government facility

      @@Th3Sm1ler I do understand the names (I call it Air as I’m old enough to remember riding it when it was first made.) but I stand by my comment. I think a space/flying themed coaster would still work better in the theme of x sector than next to nemesis etc. It could fit just fine as the secret government facility theme feels kind of Area 51 so space travel/aliens/flight technology is a good fit in my opinion.

    Hello There, a great Video with a decent perspective and analysis throughout, Galactica opened in 2016 and not 2015, hopefully we'll get a B&M Winged Rollercoaster for SW9. Thank you for all you do. Cheers Peter :) p.s. the music in the background behind each Secret Weapon was a really nice touch.

    So, if you had to design the ride and story behind a secret weapon, what would it be?

    • @chiara-wp5xu
      @chiara-wp5xu Рік тому

      I think I’d make secret weapon 10 a roller coaster like oblivion but with a proper rollercoaster after it.kind of like sheikra in busch gardens tampa bay but with more inversions.and I guess you could make it so your standing up too like the one in Thorpe park.for the theme however idk about that

      @@chiara-wp5xu it has to be a world's first or it has to break a record. Plus a large B&M dive coaster wouldn't work Bcs Alton towers has a restriction on the tree line because it's a conservation area

      I would use car parks G&H to make a large inverting water coaster (world's first). Themed around an Abounded lagoon which lures in victims with a slow pipe flute...... Just a thought
