Galactica: General Discussion

John said:
Unrelated note on GalacticAir restraints, when I rode on saturday the vest itself never locked. Obviously the important parts were secure or the train couldn't have been sent, but it's wasn't particularly comfortable with all the extra space.

that happened to me today, can you remember where you were sitting?
 
Bump!

Rode Galactic-air (sorry) for the first time in a while yesterday and discovered that ambulant disabled guests now have to use the old single rider queue at the front of the station (opposite station to the step-free entrance). Only problem is they then have to walk all the way down the platform to row 7.

I never see that this is a problem for ambulant disable guess, regardless of steps or not, you still have to step/climb in and out of most of the rides anyway.

I'm sure that the level access route is still available for those that genuinely need it.

Yep. The classic rap route is still there for non ambulant guests.
(Surprising as how would they evacuate someone?)

Seems to be a common occurance at the monent as it happened to me a couple of weeks ago on either row 6 or 7. Not exactly comfortable and not something I've experienced on a B&M Flyer before!
 
My only experience of B&M flyers are Air/Galactica and Manta, I’ve had 3 rides with non locking vests (all this season on Galatica) my most recent yesterday on craft 3, row 2 seat 4 (far left as you’re sitting on it). Is it worth mentioning it to the hosts or not?
 
Went on it today, it should be called "Vomit : The ride!"

Remnants from at least 3 pukes on the break run, and one on the exit stairs from the second station. Certainly proved quite amusing.

Thats weird how theres sick around galactica and not nemesis and the smiler. Those 2 are certainly the rides on park that make you feel the most nauseous
 
Going back to vest restraints not locking, happened to me first weekend of scarefest, tried to wave down a host alas they didn’t hear my cries.
Anyway after a very enjoyable more free ride I informed the op of what just happened and her reply was “oh you should’ve let someone know”o_O
Anyway after all that drama I was informed it was because a bigger person had been in the seat before me and the restraint gets stuck.
 
Galactica is certainly the most nauseating ride for me. Riding on your back and hanging around on the brakes at the end are ill thought out.

Haven't ridden it this year, so not sure on restraints. I had a similar experience on Superman at Great Adventure doing the same thing.

Is it a safety issue? No
Would gp consider it a safety issue? Prehaps

Puke.
You are often held on the brake run on Air, with your alimentary canal along the horizon, all shook up and fizzy.
No handy bush or fence to aim behind, just gravity.
On the other rides...
You get to escape and walk down the exit path a bit before throwing up over your mates trainers.
Again.
And again.

Overhanging the ground face down sat on a brake run is the most ridiculous thing I’ve encountered on a coaster. Is there a reason why a flyer train can’t right itself whilst stationary on the brake run?

Manta at Sea World, Orlando had me very close to losing my lunch. I’d forgotten what a bizarre feeling it is coming out of that pretzel loop. Not pleasant at all. Then you have dangling over the brake run.

I guess it's mainly down to the cost of replicating the hardware for doing that and being able to have oversight of it from the station.

Plus, there are probably a few reasons why you wouldn't want to shift the train when in that position, unsecured.

But it would make sense... Can be fixed with speedy ops though!
