Re: Alton Towers' Galactica VR coaster/Rollercoaster Restaur Surprised you managed to understand what I meant, after I named the Path "Bath" and Skyride "Monorail" oops. Anyways back to Galactica / RC Restaurant TOPIC OOPS :angel: Galactica also needs the LEDs fixing in the queue, the...

We didn't do the RMT or the Rapids - I honestly don't know why! I think what put us off was that there was always a gathering of kids/small people around the ride entrance screaming/shouting about going on it - wasn't really up for getting a headache from RMT :(. Thanks - Will upload some...

Re: Alton Towers' Galactica VR coaster/Rollercoaster Restaur Take it you found it crap as well? I guess a burger from the Fried Chicken shop in Xsector is probably better value for money than RC Restaurant (£6, compare to £14, and I got warmish chips!)

Re: Alton Towers' Galactica VR coaster/Rollercoaster Restaur Agree with you on that one, Galactca was sent around with empty trains, as was smiler, oblivion ec. Staff all happy and attentative and great few days well spent! Even ventured into the gardens like yourself on both days, one from...

So, I took the other half for a surprise visit to AT on the 15 & 16 May, with a night in the Enchanted Village. Enchanted Village: 9/10. Signed in at 9am (check in after 3pm) and was greeted very well, with great directions to the Tree Top Quest. Checked in fully around 5:30ish, got a little...

Found the Smiler rough too - other half wasn't particularly keen. Could tell I had ridden it 7 times across the 2 days. If it wasn't for the black foam on the side of the restraints my neck would be sore! The 2nd part of the 2nd Cobra roll is the worst, along with the start of the Barrel Roll (1...

Re: Alton Towers' Galactica VR coaster/Rollercoaster Restaur I absolutely understand the speed in the afternoon (especially in the summer when I guess people will be queuing outside - would be great if it came that quickly in the day). But for a booked, evening meal with only bookings/hotel...

Re: Alton Towers' Galactica VR coaster/Rollercoaster Restaur My Review of it: Rode twice on Sunday, Twice on Monday. 1st Ride Sunday: Queued up in the morning around 10:15 (just joined back of the queue when they were let in to ride) about a 20min queue. Was impressed until I flipped onto my...

From what I saw on Sunday Monday -> Flume still standing with some foliage cut away, surprised to see flume still standing IMO. For Chris- Queues on Sunday were decent. Longest queue was 30mins for sonic (it broke down) everything about 25min. Glaactica sometimes peaked at 45, but would be...

Drop towers - Don't like them at all (not sure if its because they 'scare' me or not). Don't even like the one at Thorpe! I just genuinely don't like the sense of freefalling down however the other way (Dr Dooms) at IoA I'm fine with! Rollercaosters don't scare me TOO much, only obvious ones...

Maybe they just had a massive wedge of cash burning a hole in their pocket and thought why the heck not? I like the idea that they have replaced the full track, along with launch etc and using some of the old track for the entrance. Hopefully it'll be a bit smoother again! (Also they can...

I don't know why but I prefer the vest harness' like seen on the flying coasters as I feel both free, but comfortable, but also snugly in the seat - nothing digging in and nothing to smash my head against - however some people dislike these? I do love a good B&M OTSR with the clicks, as I have...

Re: Alton Towers' Galactica VR coaster/Rollercoaster Restaur Ah thats quite cool, didn't realise it was possible! May give it an ask since it's not got raving reviews yet! Ah, RideTimes was showing walk ons for all rides with Galactica and smiler about 30mins - was hoping it would be a little...

Re: Alton Towers' Galactica VR coaster/Rollercoaster Restaur Sorry, tried it backwards, am I missing something here? (New to forum so apologies if so! :oops: ) How were the queues ^^ :)

Re: Alton Towers' Galactica VR coaster/Rollercoaster Restaur Going to be heading to AT Sunday & Monday so will be able to give my thoughts on it - having rode it lots as Air (also one of my first 'big' rides when i was younger) I grew to like it as Air - however it was rarely a re-riding...
