yeah Posted September 19, 2015 Report Share Posted September 19, 2015 One reason I don't think Air will be VR: One of the mask things will fall off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 236 Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 It's good to see Towers hopefully sorting out one of their lesser themed coasters (except Rita), however they need to do s good job with improving this in order to bring back guests next year. The tunnel will be the answer to as whether the changes will be a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EC! Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Really looking forward to this. It will be great to see air looking a lot better then it is at the moment. Probably won't be open for Feb though but I'm happy that they are giving it a bit of love OldFarmerDean 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam T Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 The new Alton Towers edited 2016 logo URL says 'Air-Space-Logo', could Air be going to space?! Would make sense with the rumoured VR headsets, which would make that possible... also remove the air tunnel problem by not being able too see it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. I'm hoping it's a touch up and a retheme of sorts. Air, as a ride has nothing wrong with it. JoshC., pluk and BenC 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Personally, I like Air as it is, but too many people do think it is too bland, and it does deserve more theming! I'm hoping that they don't change too much though... Ian-S, Kerfuffle and OldFarmerDean 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Posted October 23, 2015 Report Share Posted October 23, 2015 Air as a thrill coaster sends me to sleep, but I don't think I would want a VR headset on it - unless it is optional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a thrill coaster and it has never been advertised as one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Least you know how we feel about PMBO...

OldFarmerDean Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 It is one of their big rides which sort of makes it a thrill ride in Alton towers' eyes... And by that logic so does 13. Air isn't that scary and I do find it pretty boring... But if it was more immersive with themeing like it was supposed to have originally or even something new then I look forward to it!

pognoi Posted October 24, 2015 Report Share Posted October 24, 2015 Th13teen is absolutely thrilling don't even start. I enjoy air, it's fun over anything else though. Nothing particularly intense or incredible (besides being the first of it's kind!) however as a different experience of ride it works, it just doesn't slot into forbidden valley very well (although I've always pictured it as an oasis at the bottom of like a fall-out ridden valley...)

OldFarmerDean Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 Wasn't air supposed to be the oasis the other side of forbidden valley... The good side - if it was actually themed with water features and lots of plants etc. Then it would have looked so nice, but it's just sort of feels out of place as it wasn't done properly and there we no story :/ pognoi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pognoi Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 It is still categorized as a thrill ride on the website slendercat and OldFarmerDean 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Posted October 25, 2015 Report Share Posted October 25, 2015 I'm guessing that's more to do with the height restriction Can't really say something is a family ride when it has a 1.4m restriction I find the section on your back a bit intense and can imagine someone under 1.4 finding it uncomfortable to say the least pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OlivusPrime Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Thought I'd post these here as I scoured the net for a decent Air logo for a while before scanning one in from a ride photo and de-backgrounding it. These were done very hastily and sloppily before anyone complains about how messy they are. yeah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeah Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Does anyone have the original Air plans? Ive heard it was meant to be really well themed and I want to see what was meant to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
