I didn’t say that, but trust me there is enough room in the park to build a ride like the ones mentioned elsewhere.

There’s lots of things I’d like to see at AT, it’s fun to fantasise and discuss.
And then there’s the reality of what they need and what they will do which unfortunately is very different.
Does Galactica need a retheme? Yes but I think there are a lot of other priorities which combined with the current budgetary constraints mean I suspect it won’t be happening anytime soon.
Oh I agree there are other priorities other than Galactica, Food and Ride Availability the 2 big ones in my opinion and need for more Flats, Dark Rides and Water RidesThere’s lots of things I’d like to see at AT, it’s fun to fantasise and discuss.

I hold the ride with very high esteem. That's more of a personal thing for me. It was the first ride I went to opening year. First ride it hailed. Lovely stuff.
Air was basic. It had a charm. That the galactica brand unfortunately doesn't. Without it's VR, the theming is lost. I would strip it back to it's air theme. Especially now you have modern theming with Nemesis and the toxicator.

Agree with this - you can now almost get away with an Oasis theme

A dynamically priced attraction, where you have to dodge bottles of piss being lobbed at you by melons in bucket hats, all whilst the area pongs with the stench of skunk and rehashed/reimagined hits from 30 years ago are blasted out loud, in a wave of 90s nostalgia.Agree with this - you can now almost get away with an Oasis theme
I guess Forbidden Valley is already the World's First Oasis Themed Land®.
