Get ready for the ride of your life deep in the heart of Alton Towers’ Forbidden Valley!
In the year 3019, a groundbreaking discovery has turned the world of theme parks upside down. A wormhole, hidden within a pocket of cosmic energy, has been found deep in the Forbidden Valley at Alton Towers. This wormhole isn’t just a portal to another place, it’s a doorway to infinite possibilities. With the power to take us to distant realms and alternate dimensions, the future of travel has changed forever.
Galactica: The World’s First ‘Lying Down’ Roller Coaster
Introducing Galactica, an exhilarating ride that combines cutting-edge technology with the thrill of space travel. Developed by the aerospace group Galactica, this pioneering experience harnesses the power of the wormhole to transport passengers to new galaxies and beyond. But there’s a twist, this isn’t just any roller coaster. It’s the world’s first lying-down coaster, where riders experience gravity-defying sensations like never before in this real-time flight simulator.
Prepare for Launch: Boarding the AIR-WING 6000
Once you board the AIR-WING 6000 craft, you’ll assume your position for the most thrilling cosmic journey of your life. The countdown begins. 3… 2… 1… Blast off! As you build up speed, you’ll soar through the plasma of the launch portal, diving into the wormhole to explore distant, unexplored galaxies.
A Journey Beyond Your Imagination
As you zoom through space, you’ll experience heart-pounding moments as you glide past rugged vistas of Vega 10 and sail through the cosmic clouds of Espin. The intense g-forces will make you feel like you’re truly flying among the stars. And don’t forget the jaw-dropping views! As you twist, spiral, and glide through the track, you’ll fly face-down, close to the ground, narrowly brushing past trees and theme park footpaths below. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime sensation that simulates the ultimate feeling of flight.
360-Degree Inversions: Flip, Soar, and Fly!
Galactica isn’t just about flying, it’s about flipping and soaring in ways you’ve never imagined. During the ride, you’ll experience two full 360-degree inversions, flipping onto your back and getting a new perspective on the universe. Look up to the vast expanse of space, and feel the thrill of zero-gravity moments as you glide between the Earth and the stars.
The Ultimate High G-Force Experience
What makes Galactica truly unique is its ability to simulate the sensation of true flight. Unlike traditional inverted roller coasters, Galactica takes you through high g-forces that make you feel like you’re soaring at breakneck speeds, almost touching the ground one second and flying toward the heavens the next. It’s an experience you won’t find anywhere else.
Whether you’re a thrill-seeker, a space enthusiast, or someone looking for a one-of-a-kind theme park experience, Galactica at Alton Towers is the ultimate attraction for adventurers of all ages. So, what are you waiting for? Strap in, hold tight, and get ready for a journey like no other. The cosmos awaits!
