The two tracks, Human and Cylon, feature different ride experiences: one is a traditional sit-down coaster, while the other is inverted with riders suspended below the track.
The roller coasters reach speeds of up to 90 kilometers per hour.
The ride was designed by Vekoma and originally opened in 2010 before undergoing a significant re-track and relaunch in 2015.
The tracks are designed to interact at multiple points, creating the illusion of a collision or 'near-miss' for passengers on both trains.
Battlestar Galactica: HUMAN vs. CYLON is a dueling roller coaster located within Universal Studios Singapore on Sentosa Island. It features two distinct tracks, the red 'Human' track and the blue 'Cylon' track, which intertwine to simulate high-speed combat. The Human track is a sit-down steel coaster, while the Cylon track is an inverted steel coaster. The ride utilizes a complex launch system that brings the cars to high speeds rapidly. It is situated within the Sci-Fi City zone of the park. Riders often experience near-miss effects where the two trains pass each other at high velocity. The attraction is designed with thematic elements based on the Battlestar Galactica television series.
The plaza area beneath the interlocking loops provides the best vantage point to capture both trains crossing paths.
