Universal Studios Singapore Rides You Shouldn't Miss Out!

Battlestar Galactica is a must for roller coaster enthusiasts and is certainly not 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, but it keeps the fun and frenzy alive by packing in a good deal of gut-churning drops, narrow bends, and speed. This fun-filled ride is a must-try for adventure seekers and is often a highlight for those planning a Singapore group trip with friends or family.
