Galactica, Flying roller coaster at Alton Towers Resort, England.
The steel roller coaster features a track length of 840 meters with riders suspended in a prone position, passing close to the ground and through portals.
Opening in 2002 as Air, the attraction underwent modifications in 2016 to become Galactica, marking the first flying roller coaster manufactured by Bolliger & Mabillard.
The space travel theme integrates advanced technology and engineering, reflecting British innovation in theme park entertainment at Alton Towers Resort.
Riders must measure at least 1.4 meters in height to experience the attraction, which operates with a capacity of 1500 passengers per hour.
Passengers board in a seated position before the mechanism tilts them into a flying stance, creating the sensation of soaring through space at 75 kilometers per hour.
