The world’s tallest dueling coaster is undergoing an extensive overhaul. Battlestar Galactica: Human vs. Cylon has had its fair share of problems since opening in 2010 and has actually been closed since July of last year. Universal has only officially stated the ride is closed “for an attraction review” but it sounds like they are going to give the ride a fresh start with a new identity and theme. The revamped ride is expected to get a new name, new interiors and a fresh coat of paint, among other proposed changes. Expect the new theme and storyline to be based upon a recent popular movie.

This unique creation is the only dueling coaster in the world where one side is inverted and the other is a standard sit down vehicle, so it’s good news to hear the ride is being revamped and not completely torn down. The update will take a couple of months and the coasters are expected to reopen by the end of the year.
