Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN vs. CYLON
Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN vs. CYLON is the biggest roller coaster at Universal Studios Singapore. According to the park, they are the tallest duelling roller coasters in the world. You choose a side: the humans or the Cylons.
The concept
The attraction is based on the science fiction series Battlestar Galactica, about the battle between the humans and the Cylon robots. There are two tracks that depart at the same time. On the Human train you sit normally, with the track beneath you. On Cylon you hang beneath the track, with your legs dangling. Along the way the tracks twist around each other and the trains head straight for each other.
The Experience
According to rcdb, the track is 42.7 metres high and you reach almost 90 kilometres per hour. Cylon goes upside down five times, including a loop and a corkscrew. Human has no inversions, but it does have fast bends, high hills and drops. The ride lasts around a minute and a half, but feels a lot longer because of the near-collisions.

Try both tracks
Human is a seated roller coaster, Cylon a suspended one with five inversions. They really are two different rides.
Try the test seat first
There is a test seat at the entrance. That way you know in advance whether the restraint closes properly.
Belongings in a locker
Loose items are not allowed on the train. Use the lockers by the attraction.
Visitor information
The minimum height is 1.25 metres. The restraints do not fit everyone, depending on body shape or height. There is a test seat at the entrance. Prostheses must be removed. Bags, cameras and other loose items are not allowed on the ride. Store them in the lockers or leave them with someone who is not riding. With a Universal Express pass (sold separately) you skip the regular queue here once. Express does not get you a seat in the front row.
For true daredevils
Battlestar Galactica is a must for anyone who loves fast roller coasters. Combine it with TRANSFORMERS The Ride and Accelerator, which are also in Sci-Fi City. Ideally, do not plan the coaster straight after a big meal.
