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.
Maybe for SW9, it could be one of those next-gen vekoma's
SW7 had the most controversy. The cars crashed and literally caused the ENTIRE park to close for 5 days! Isn't that crazy?!!?!
shhhh
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.
I hope SW9 will be something like Ride to Happiness in Plopsaland
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.
yeah i always thought the Wicker man's theme didn't belong in mutiny bay
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.
Yeah cbeebies land is very close to the wicker man
@@Crucirobin yeah scarier for a pirate theme
Nice vid! Just to let you know, the original Batman was located at Six Flags Great America not Great Adventure. Anyways, really enjoyed the vid! It's always great to come back home from school to see Inversion Addicts has uploaded a new vid 👍
British Thrillseeker cheers pal 👍🏼 thanks for watching!! You’re right though haha it was the 2nd one that opened at great adventure 😂👊🏼
Been on the original and for me nemesis beats it because it's more compact and just felt like there was more going on
Both brilliant rides though
With the log flume gone i would love to see a dark water ride like valhalla at Blackpool Pleasure beach.
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?
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
S&S Axis Coaster with a Skulduggery Pleasant (better harry potter, gg ez) theme
SW10
Worlds first Water Rollercoaster to combine Water and Killer Rubber Duckies
The Flume: Keep your Nose Plugged
I want to see
SECRET WEAPON 3.5
which should be retracking nemesis and adding in an oblivion style drop at the beginning
Sadly, the tree height limit disables Alton towers to build a top hat.
Sw9 Could be an Xtrême spinning coaster
We need the history and future of Duel 🤞🏼
🔥
Th13teen is underrated man
I must admit, I’ve had some outstanding rides on it lately! Scarefest was unbelievable, I just still don’t feel like the overall ride is “SW” worthy 🤣 thanks for the comment bud 👊🏼
So was Rita not a secret weapon?
No, Rita was just an addition and wasn’t tagged as a SW! Makes sense 🤣 thanks for watching
I think sw9 will be a b&m giga
Did the people who made 13 not know elevators existed!?!?!
They need a drop tower of sorts, but they can't....
Rumours have it of a return of sub-terra? could be the answer! Thanks for watching
sw4 was made in 1998
The vr lasted 3 seasons
Well, it was 2 seasons fully and started to be intermittent in its operation is the 3rd season before being completely removed! Thanks so much for watching
it started in 2016 season and lasted till the 2019 seaoson
@@Tripsngiggles the vr was there in 2018 just on the back 2 rows
I’m pretty happy “a season or 2” covers it 😂 cheers for the comments 👊🏼
@@Tripsngiggles i was never keen on the vr like everyone else i know we was all happy it was removed
Is Alton Towers secretly evil?
Haha now you mention it, maybe ☺️🤣
