This coaster was also the first to feature a non-inverting loop, meaning riders won’t ever go fully upside down while going on the coasters loop.

Universal fans have been doing a lot of speculation on what could replace this ride after its removal. What do you hope Universal puts in its place?

Something many people do not know, is that there was also 51 hidden tracks you could choose from by holding down on the “Rockit” logo on the touch screen. After the ride, you can even get your own music video of footage of you on the ride with your chosen song!

The most unique aspect of this coaster is the fact that you get to pick your own soundtrack for your ride. When it first opened, you could choose from an array of 30 different songs divided into different genres.

This 167 foot steel coaster has had a bit of a troubled history, and is slated to close early September of this year. During its original construction, there was a few delays due to design errors, and it had to be modified for the pieces to fit properly.

Which one do you like more? The current Galactica theme, or its original Air theme? Let us know down below! ⬇️

When it was first rethemed to Galactica, it had a VR portion but was later removed due to technical issues. 🎮 There are still hints to its original form, including the ship being named the "AIR-WING" 6000.

flying coaster is well-loved for its smooth ride. It originally opened in 2002 as Air, but later got its retheme as Galactica in 2016. 💨
