CLASSIC ART: 'THE BATTLE FOR GALACTICA'!


Humans beware! The Cylons have arrived on Earth and want prisoners! That was the fun scenario of the short-lived but much-loved THE BATTLE OF GALACTICA ride at UNIVERSAL STUDIOS, Los Angeles. Here's a great piece of production art for the backlot exterior, as the tram load of visitors are apprehended and taken into a landed Cylon vessel!

  1. I loved that ride, and have spent decades tracking down, and talking with designers, builders, and scientist that helped bring this attraction together. It was one of the longest running shows in the park history. Video, pictures, and merchandise sold at the time can be found over at my page. http://www.byyourcommand.net/cylongallery/index.php?cat=33

    1. Those that were given a copy of the painting were never told who painted it, and no one ever step up to take claim of painting it. Still an unsolved mystery.
