How would Galactica realistically be themed to fit in? Track respray?

I was there yesterday, forgot there was talk of a new flat ride and wondered what was going on! Yeah did look a bit ugly, you think it wouldn't be too difficult to pop up some phalanx themed warning fences at least.

When are you going? Maybe see you there! I'm September 12th unless plans change. I think the worst thing will be if it opens a week later 😭

Heartbroken about this as i'm doing my only ever trip in early September. Though my Japanese friend informs me it actually says "second half of 2024" so there's a sliver of hope.

Compilation of clips showing the completed land and ride testing:

What with Hyperia having a 1.3m restriction it does seem the bar is increasingly lower for what kids can ride. Although equally it's basically just an extended Corkscrew from Alton Towers which was technically a 1.2m family coaster in 1980, even if it wasn't perceived as such relative to the...

How does Vampire Kitchen score?

Very exciting. Love that they've kept it quiet too. Hopefully it is a proper Dark Ride but seems odd nothing was spotted during the Christmas season.

The tunnel going through the ride is awesome.

Is this likely to open in 2024? I don't know the location very well but sounds like a lot of work in a public area?

I haven't been to TP for about 20 years but certainly didn't remember it being as big as they claimed so good work! The Universal site is definitely massive so lack of room shouldn't be anyones concern. When i was younger there was a bit at TP where you caught a train to a farm but on the way...

As an interesting comparison (assuming online figures are correct), the entire Warner Bros World park in UAE is less than a tenth of this entire plot, which i think should be a big part of the model they're aiming for. Obviously they don't have any high rollercoasters but it's a good example of...

Reminds me of the portal from the movie Contact.
