Galactica: General Discussion

[Ash]

Unless you're willing to pay Ian Habgood that is ...

Name the price…

I’ve bought the 3 min file from his site. But surely there must be more? That was the same as on the soundtrack CD.

If they Jet wash all the coasters they would all look much better.

That's all they need Alton has a green problem where the coasters get covered in waste

To be fair Galactica has definitely been jet washed every year or two for the past, they also did Rita the other year.

But the issue is after a few months they just look grotty again.

Nope, that's literally the whole thing... short yet never misses a beat. Every moment is so memorable!

If you really want to extend it, I do know the stuff Ian Used for the sounds. It comes from a sound library I believe.

Found it!

Here you go.

Seismic Frequencies

Beautiful landscapes of organic tones, moody washes and powerfully expressive sound energies fused with a multitude of adventurous experiments in audio.

There's always this soundtrack from the Futurama PS2 game that uses one of the same samples - there's another song that uses the same one, but I can't remember it for the life of me.

Painful ops here today, two trains one station on what is a fairly busy day really overall, well steady enough. This que and overall experience is dire, and we left it till the end of the day too and to make it worse no one was checked in the rap/ft que either at 15.50

It's really in a similar state Duel was in when it was removed I think they either going to retheme or remove

Surly they can’t kick the can down the road for another year? It’s a mess.

Oh they can….
Of all the SW’s for me it’s the one at risk the most.

Shame - I think it’s a great coaster

We get this every year.
Could easily roll on in its current state for a decade at least.
Operations have always been rather erratic at times.

This is true. I would expect it to be on 2 stations today. I will find out soon

The only reason I wouldn't want Galactica rethemed right now is because other parts of the park are crying for something new more like X-Sector, Dark Forest and World of David Walliams

 

[Blackrock]

Doesn’t look like it’s operating today anyway

 

[rob666]

For balance, is now open with a 20 minute queue.
Not that I do ridetimes.

One station ops, currently around 70 mins. No single rider available all day

operationally, 2 trains 1 station isn't that unusual, the likely reason is a train is down (they are very complex and not that reliable (it may be 99% reliable, but when you are dispatching every couple of mins, 99% quickly adds up)), now with the headsets they have been able to smooth over operations better than in previous years

in addition they have actually done work, the SRQ has returned and the bag bays have been changed (they used to be some U bar slide joints, but they got upgraded to proper slide joints, and it makes opps much smoother as in the past guest may be held up by one of the cages being stuck

this is pretty typical for Galactica, it has been like this for a while where one train/station would go down dropping it to 2 trains

theming wise, Galactica dose need some work though, it is pretty poor and often there are no screens working

That is a great find! As a music producer myself this sort of thing fascinates me!

I know a lot of the sounds used in the production music track of Oblivion came from a couple of Sample libraries from the same company Zero G. If I recall it was Jungle Warfare Vol 1. The bass sounds and the breakbeats are definitely from there.

I personally love the Air soundtrack, to be honest a lot of ambient music is right up my street.
