![AdventureVille Adventure Island Southend On Sea 4K POV
Come for a pov video of the ride Green Scream at Adventure Island. I use My DJI Osmom Action 6 to record this ride. I have put the links for Adventure Island and Dji.
AdventureVille
From seaside scapes to cartoon goldmines, this bright and exciting concept ride will guide you through a whole village of celebration, captured in daytime and nighttime for an immersive experience.
There’s no minimum height limit. Guests under 120cm must be accompanied by a responsible person of 14 years or over, who rides for free. Riders must be self-supporting.
Adventureville is a Self-built Tracked Dark Ride currently located at Adventure Island in Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England, UK. It was opened in 2016 following an investment of £682,000,[1] and features the Ted family of cartoon characters. The same theme was later used in the refurbishment of nearby the Crooked House in 2018.[2]

![Galactica Alton Towers 4K POV
Come for a pov video of the ride Galactica Alton Towers. I use my gopro 12 black to record this ride. I have put the links for Alton Towers website, merlins website as they run all the big theme parks in England ( thrope park, LEGOLAND and Chessington World Of Adventures) and gopro website below. I also will put the address down below of chessington world of adventures.
Galactica (formerly called Air) is a steel flying roller coaster located at Alton Towers in Alton, Staffordshire, England, UK. It was built by Bolliger & Mabillard and situated in the Forbidden Valley area, in close proximity to Nemesis. The ride was originally scheduled to open in 1998, but due to the complex features of the ride, it was delayed to 2002.[1] Opening instead in 1998 was Oblivion. Before its official name was released, Air was codenamed SW5 (Secret Weapon 5).
For the 2016 season, the name was changed from Air to Galactica as virtual reality headsets were added to the ride. These only lasted until 2018, however.
The entrance plaza to Air
The idea for Air came to fruition after many years of planning, and construction started towards the beginning of the 2001 season. Advertisements for the ride were placed around Alton Towers towards the end of that year. In early 2002, testing began on one of the worlds most technologically advanced rides ever made, and the ride opened on 16 March 2002 at a cost of £12 million.
Air opened as the first prototype flying roller coaster designed by Swiss manufacturer Bolliger & Mabillard.
Early difficulties with unreliability were reduced towards the end of the first year, and problems are now rare.[2]
In July 2015, Alton Towers submitted plans to enhance the rides theming and station. On 12 January 2016 it was announced that Air would be renamed Galactica. As part of the change, the ride received virtual reality headsets in which guests experience a space-themed film. The building that housed the former Air gift shop became the Rollercoaster Restaurant. The ride reopened as Galactica on 24 March 2016.
For the 2018 season, the virtual reality headsets were removed from all but the back three rows of the train. On 17 March 2019, Alton Towers confirmed that the virtual reality headsets would be gone completely for 2019, in response to guest feedback and the increased queue times.[3]
