The popular Battlestar Galactica: Human vs. Cylon roller coaster at Universal Studios Singapore will re-open in early 2015 featuring all-new, two-seater ride vehicles and a smoother ride experience.

The newly designed two-seat ride vehicles are designed to improve the overall guest experience, giving riders a more intimate and personal ride experience that will enhance the feeling of speed and thrill the ride already offers.

Commenting on the revamp, Resorts World Sentosa Senior Vice President of Attractions John Hallenbeck explains "the new vehicles will allow riders to feel closer to the experience.

“It will be as if every rider has their own window seat.”

Based on the television series, Battlestar Galactica: Human vs. Cylon rollercoaster features a suspended Cylon coaster and a conventional Human coaster. Riders are launched at high speed and experience a series of loops and inversions as they chase the opposing coaster.

The ride is being relaunched after an extensive attraction review of the ride and all its components and systems and is currently in the midst of routine, extensive testing with the new vehicles as part of the process of re-opening it for guests.

Resorts World Sentosa has also been recognised for its contributions in shaping Singapore’s tourism sector with four awards at the recent Singapore Experience Awards 2014; a record for the destination resort while also being named 'Best Integrated Resort' at the recent 2014 TTG Travel Awards for the fourth year running.

Promoted as Asia’s ultimate destination resort, Resorts World Sentosa is located on Singapore’s resort island of Sentosa. Spanning 49 hectares, the resort opened in January 2010 and welcomed over 45 million visitors in its first three years of opening. RWS is home to two mega attractions - the region’s first-and-only Universal Studios theme park and the Marine Life Park, which comprises the S.E.A. Aquarium (one of the world’s largest aquariums) and Adventure Cove Waterpark. Other attractions include a Maritime Experiential Museum, an award-winning destination spa, a casino, six unique hotels, the Resorts World Convention Centre, celebrity chef restaurants, and specialty retail outlets.
