Universal Studios Singapore Rides

Battlestar Galactica is an absolute must for roller coaster enthusiasts and is certainly not to be missed. In this dueling cruiser there are two sets of coasters- one representing the Humans is in red and is a seated coaster, while the other constituting the Cylon side is blue and inverted. If being completely inverted is not something you are too crazy about, remain on the Human side.

The Human coaster does not include inversions, however keeps the fun and frenzy alive by packing in a good deal of gut-churning drops, narrow bends and speed.
