Galactica is basically the serenity and peace from the destruction of Nemesis Reborn

[@lauraturnbull6315]

They can’t get rid of Galactica because I haven’t ridden it yet

[@BrzndzVlogz]

need to get yourself on it then

[@joshslater2426]

I can’t imagine Alton Towers getting rid of any rides at the moment with Project Ocean and Project Horizon in the works. Galactica is still a fairly popular ride, and if anything it needs a repaint or a retheme. Oblivion is another one that would benefit more from a spruce up rather than outright removal since it’s still popular and works well.

Right bud, it was supposed to close for a retheme in September however towers have spent all there money on cbeebies event so it wont anymore or at least for now 😢

I think from a business point of view that is a good idea to keep it as save the funds for it and do it properly. Also I can't imagine Skyride or Hex are helping with there major Overhauls they are both receiving it will take time for the park to get back up to where it should be. The Cbeebies 10 Year celebration costed so much mainly because of the Host celebrities that came in.

@@joecandish3923 they have no fund thats the problem

[@kiwi_kk_2979]

do like the coaster layout of Galactica but would be nice to see them give it a repaint to help link it in with the phalanx. Imo though I think the dark forest needs some refurbishments like you said to specifically Rita as I dont think its up to par for standards alton will need to continue growing.

[@BrzndzVlogz]

Dark Forest is something I've called for investment for so long. So much potential. Which is why I hope we see investment in that area soon!

[@nickprocter7090]

@@BrzndzVlogz It badly needs a couple of flat rides to pick the atmosphere up a bit. Maybe Rush (Thorpe Park) clone on the clifftop over the valley... ANYTHING, frankly. They're (relatively) cheap and soak up capacity, reducing queueing times elsewhere, too...

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@@nickprocter7090 yep , talked about it loads on the channel here

[@Anim4ticRr]

Galactica is one of my favourite

[@BrzndzVlogz]

yess! Rate it

[@AAlfredo2881]

it would be nice to see a repaint, never been on it as well so when we go next I'll have to get a ride on it! 👀

[@BrzndzVlogz]

We are getting you on it during Scarefest

[@DRDUCKY23]

Im hoping they do keep it tbh i quite enjoy galactica❤

[@BrzndzVlogz]

As I mention in the video, I don't see them closing it.

[@simonedwards7969]

As I've been tracking the queue times for over a month and the favorites are galactica, rita, wickerman and smiler have the biggest queues times which is funny as nemesis reborn is sort of the new coaster in 2024

[@BrzndzVlogz]

Nemesis reborn does have higher throughput though :)

[@simonedwards7969]

@@BrzndzVlogz it does but not faster then the smiler and rita is about the same time when it's working, wicker man is slower and galactica is bad because of the restraints but people will still queue upto 90 minutes for it

[@Shoto_todoroki.12]

I've seen things on the internet that the new ripsaw will have a walkway underneath suggesting that it could be a sort of divider between Galactica and the rest of forbidden valley, so could we potentially see a new area come to the park? In my opinion, I think a new area would be great, funnelling more people down towards the forbidden valley section and hopefully give Galactica a new lease of life. Also, there's the car park running off the back of the ride so it is possible for them to expand into that space. I reckon it's either a new area that keeps the current storyline of the ride or a complete revamp of the ride incoorprating it into the nemesis storyline (perhaps being a military attack on nemesis?? DigitalDan did an awesome video recently explaining the possible outcome of Galactica following this theory and I can somewhat see it come to life).

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@Shoto_todoroki.12 Funny enough in my 4k viewed video (uploaded before dans) I did the exact same speaking about galacticas outcome.. As for the car park yes its an option but as mentioned there are trees in the way which with the locals arent so easy to get rid of because of the protection placed. Youre correct about the tunnel (its nearly built, something i cover in a construction update and most recent vlog) --- My suggestion in my galactica video was something goes wrong with the phalanx and everyone is trying to escape whilst getting attacked by the nemesis creature. I even came up with a new idea such as getting rid of the portal, themed rooms you fly through etc :)

[@nickprocter7090]

Multi storey car park to increase ride space - yes!

[@CoasterKingThemeParks]

I think that galactica as a coaster is incredible especially as its the first of its kind, however I do think the theming lets the ride down. I would like to see them retheme it to after the effects of the nemesis. For example they could crack the portal and make it look more battered and have that and a lot of the ride being attacked and overgrown with nemesis tentacles

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@NightShadeThemeParks Yes another person with the tentacle idea! Thought that would look good all around Galactica so I fully agree. I just hope they keep it as I love the ride it just needs that themeing and it could be one of the better coasters in the uk

[@CoasterKingThemeParks]

@@BrzndzVlogz I totally agree, galactica is probably my joint favourite ride at the park and I dont want them to touch the layout! I also think the ride could do with some effects wether its water (like a leakage the nemesis has caused) or fire as I think it would bring attention towards the ride, like how wickermans fire brings attention towards wickerman

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@@CoasterKingThemeParks Ride Audio, lights (for good night rides) , more mist would be my go to effects! Not sure where they could add water or fire but would love to see more effects as you've mentioned!

[@MalrusOSC]

Personally, i have yet to ride Galactica, but when I do, I’ll make the decision whether I want it to stay or not

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@@MalrusOSC I have a feeling you'll enjoy it! Let me know your thoughts when you get round to riding it

[@IslaAlton]

I love galactica it’s my fav in the uk and 2nd fav in the world and I don’t want it to get a phalanx theme I want it to have more space theme

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@IslaAlton thats fair enough! I personally want it to have a bit of both with galactica being a way of escaping the nemesis creature or an attack on nemesis. Feel they could do so much with it! Id be happy for anything with lots more themeing

[@IslaAlton]

@@BrzndzVlogz yess that’s what I want! Would be so cool

[@jasperworld5343]

Am i the only coaster enthusiast who will probably cry on Rita's closing day? ;(

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@jasperworld5343 its not exactly terrible its just a little outdated with the launch. And doesnt really have much going for it, in comparison to the other coasters. However, i do appreciate there is a good amount of people who enjoy it !

[@jellylemonade1655]

yes. rita is wayyy to short. go on it once for bragging rights and never again

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@@jellylemonade1655 yeah to short, outdated launch, not really much in terms of themeing either.

[@jellylemonade1655]

@@BrzndzVlogz to me it doesnt fit quite right with the rest of the area as well

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@jellylemonade1655 yeah I agree. Tbh my biggest request has been a redevelopment of the entire dark forest area to be more spooky like thirtneen and have some proper themeing

[@markuk7771]

Galactica just sticks out like a saw thomb and needs retheam

[@BrzndzVlogz]

@@markuk7771 yep, exactly what i said in the video.

[@zetametallic]

I didn't like Galactica at all. Went on it in August 2024, felt like I was going to fly off. A one time ride for me😂

[@BrzndzVlogz]

really? haha I love it!

[@MrApocaIypse]

I think they will re track Galactica 4 times put a rmc on top of the rollercoaster restaurant and then re theme it to the skibidi rizzler
