SINGAPORE – Sixteen thrill-seekers on the popular Battlestar Galactica: Human vs Cylon attraction at Universal Studios Singapore (USS) had to disembark midway through their roller-coaster ride after it stalled on Nov 28.
In response to queries, a spokesperson for Resorts World Sentosa (RWS), which manages USS, said the ride experienced a “temporary technical interruption” at about 5pm.
“As part of our strict safety protocols, it automatically stopped at a safe point on the track. Our trained operations team promptly assisted all 16 riders to disembark, in accordance with our standard operating procedures,” the spokesperson said, adding that there were no injuries.
RWS added that the ride will resume on Nov 29 when USS opens, following the completion of “a thorough safety check”.
“The safety of our guests is always our top priority. We regret any inconvenience caused and thank our guests for their patience and understanding,” the spokesperson said.
In a video posted on Sgfollowsall Instagram page, people wearing safety harnesses can be seen checking a stationary roller-coaster ride in midair. In another part of the video, people are seen walking down the track structure.
