Air at Alton Towers on Blue Peter

[@PhunkyNun]

Went on this today with my 82 year-old mother, twice! This is the best time of year to go - late April - reasonable weather, no queues!

[@mikedavies4561]

Very fun smooth ride. Not overly Intense, but that's shy I like it

[@matthewbartlett9051]

DarrellPeel why not shy

[@ClonkyClonky]

Ikr it feels like flying

[@Sandheaver]

It's my favourite ride at Alton Towers. So exhilarating! It's such a wonderful feeling.

[@procrastination_productions]

That bit of moon Safari at 2:07 really brought me back! Wow!

[@GAC1984]

I went on Air when I went with College in Summer 2005 for the end of the course trip. I was one of the the best rides I have ever been on it was very smooth and ran on rails. I would like to go on it again one day. Brilliant.

[@LilysKittyKingdomxx]

Air is my very favourite ride! Cant wait to go later this week!

[@hattikins]

I actually remember watching this on telly, making me feel old lol

[@purpleblue]

Alton Towers : Let's make money and retheme this! Us : U W0T M8

[@TheMaverick987]

+Luke B i think it was more "Lets theme it" Air had no real theme. Plus the VR makes it a new experience.

[@purpleblue]

+CoasterGuy air was themed around flying and to feel like free

[@TheMaverick987]

+Luke B And galactica is themed around flying higher.

[@BeckyMD26]

That was my reaction omg 😂

[@TransportFan378]

I'd probably become a worker at Alton Towers and rip out every single VR pouch and transmitter given the opportunity.

[@donovangionis5383]

In my opinion, this is a great first ride to do at the park. It's relatively tame and very relaxing. I say the final coaster to graduate to would be Nemesis. That is easily the most intense ride in the park, and let's not forget that it is arguably the best coaster in the UK, so I definitely recommend saving it for last.

[@EagleEyedViewer96]

Best ride at Alton Towers. Proves that you don't have to be faster and higher to be a great roller coaster, just really well advanced.

[@lilmizzy2008]

i have been to alton towers bout 15 times and only ONCE have i been on this and it hasn't broken down at all!! every time i go on it like every other ride breaks down!!

[@jackandylan123321]

I have been on air 12 times and can;t wait to go on it again

[@Wizardl0l]

Just walking around Alton Towers gives you the BEST thrill ever! and the music is an added bonus to give you the best day ever!

[@jenna9105]

It really is amazing when I went on it, it was raining and loads of people were walking beneaf us and it actually felt like you was flying

[@D3bblicious]

Can’t believe this just showed up on my time line thing for a video I may like. A lot of your videos must have 10’s of millions by now. Good going

[@rewstube80]

Now that`s something britain should shout about wow i think this is great a realy good coaster & thats something i have not seen done before. This disigner is brilliant. Well done.

[@rebeccachallinor8387]

IM GOING ON SUNDAY AND I CANT WAIT ANOTHER SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@XXXXCutyKitten5XXXX]

I am going to Alton Towers tomorrow and i needed some insight into what rides are there, this was perfect!

[@MrMcmister0]

the best bit is when you roll over it is just brilliant!! this is my fave rollercoaster ever XD :)

[@minotaur878]

John told me that it is to allow ordinary members of the general public to experience sensations outside the scope of the normal everyday world in which they live that makes his rides what he wants them to be. Great man

[@SpekeKat]

I went on it, It was amazing! Alton towers has to be one of the best theme parks ever! :D

[@Ratbagcath]

Went to alton towers this year with my brother and we qued 4 this ride with fastpass, then it broke down. So left q and went on nemesis, then went got let back in fastpass q. Love this ride! It so smooth! :)

[@danielledewitt1]

Wardley.

[@nataliebostock8878]

[@crubba]

[@ObeYoR]

Went today, was so awesome!! I love this ride

[@Themeparkmad3]

im going on this on my birthday with my bestie:) shes never been on it before so good luck to her

[@OllyMurs4Eva]

Been on this, BEST. RIDE. EVER. Feels nothing like a roller coaster:) God i could live on air

[@beltingtokra]

Last time I went to AT I went on Air 5 times, Nemmy 4 times, Blade 3 times, the Carousel, RMT, Rapids, Flume, Toadstool, Carousel... Air's still my favourite, but the intensity of Nemmy is hard to beat. I hope it stays at AT forever :)

[@skeletonthiever]

rollercoasers are pretty much 100% safe. there are just some 1 in 1,000,000 accidents that usually arent that dangerous. some more common accidents are where the ride has to get stopped because of someone filming. that happened to me once and its nothing to worry about. i went on this ride when i was 10 and i loved it! i would recommend you go on every rollercoaster at alton towers.

[@mimiralph2236]

My first EVER go on a proper rolercoaster, i loved it soo much i went pn three times.

[@DehMacLuvr]

Air is more relaxing than most coasters. Nemesis is a beast of a ride. I went on both.

[@BeckiCDance6]

Love this ride! Apart from queuing 3 hours for it when it said it would be 80 mins! It's great though, going back on it next week!

[@MeltedToast84]

This guy was great, he really let John speak on the ride unlike many others

[@livi4president]

Hahah i love this ride !!! cant wait im goin back to Alton Towers for the secind time in september with school and i have GOT to go on this ride again !! :D

[@momo-ub2qx]

[@lydiaroxburgh4123]

[@italktotrees01]

[@karatebuff]

[@penyorfeas84]

[@boostedadrenaline2884]

My favourite ride :) keep it up and never take it down

[@Joeybakes_]

[@Charlieeeax]

[@SpudderRail]

[@JiMaNeYbOb]

[@PopPrincess921]

[@HeyLaserLips]

Just went to Alton Towers today. Seems strange seeing that roller coaster with no trees or scenery around it. :-P

[@Buddy4life01]

AIR IS AMAZING i went on it a couple of months ago and i loved it, very comfortable aswell lol!

[@Jennjunebugx]

Actually remember watching this when I was six... Simon the wee legend.

[@Sims23Chloe452z]

Im 12 i went on it, the first ride i ever went on in Alton towers and you feel okay, Its really comfatable

[@youmayrememberme]

oh and btw if you're going on this ride make sure when you get to the end of the queue go to the bit where you queue up for the front seats cuz you get the best view

[@1roo13]

[@kiwio222]

[@elifgulmen]

That looks amazing. Im going there in September with my friends.

[@D0wNF4LLofficial]

It was awsome ! I went years ago I think they should make another one !

[@katy2007w]

ok im goin Alton Towers the 16th July! Should Air be my first RollerCoaster Or a different one? cuz i want a good ride to be my 1st ride

[@fameandjoy]

@2008windle It needs to be put up then! =P Any idea if Wardley was on it?

[@hpcrazy4eva]

Omg i loved this ride! I wanna ride it again!

[@JennyW410]

oh my god i LOVED air. it isnt scary its just exciting ! i sat in the same place the bluepeter guy is sitting xD

[@fameandjoy]

Good old John Wardley, being there for us in the Blue Peter rollercoaster editions with Nemesis, Air and Oblivion. I'm surprised a Thirteen one hasn't been done yet.

[@BredonUrieLovesJade]

do you feel safe in it? I went on circulator in famingo land and thought i was gonna fall out.

[@RandomMixoo7]

Air is a really good ride! I'v been on it twice and the first time I went on it was front seat! It was realy good!

[@born2booze2]

I queued for an hour to ride this last weekend!!!!!! Never been on a Roller-coaster before, so can't really compare it to anything else. But it was amazing....even if i did get myself in a right tiz!! Shame it was all over in a matter of seconds though.

[@Rach227204]

Love that ride, really does feel like you're flying :)

[@izaakz12]

Cool video

[@mrharibozzzzz]

I passed out giggling on this ride :D

[@lauraworsley8279]

In my opinion, this is my ultimate rollercoaster! Nemesis is really cool too, but i love air, i have tons of air merchandise at home, be prepared, my room is full of twists and turns! Hehehe, lol!

[@Vidz97HD]

Went on this today, the park look abit different now though its full of other coasters around it xD

[@minotaur878]

But they were two different models. The B&M model had different harnesses, design, whole concept and wasn't a revitalised version of the Vekoma model. It was something new, it is now named the first B&M flying coaster.

[@jrockaboy]

we need a Alton towers in the USA cause some of these roller coasters are freaking amazing

[@kittycat7863]

what do u do with ur bags and stuff when u go on the rides at alton towers?

[@emzo95]

omg i was scared when i got on it, its amazing trust me, you cant even feel the twists. Its really fast but so amazing, i wish i could have gone back on, but the queue was too long and we dint have time :/ go on it, you'll love it.

[@ASmallChord]

ive never been on a loop the loop and i HATE drops on rollercoasters- but im so determined to go on it.

[@loldogsluver3]

im going alton towers tomorrow and my dad and sister are tryin to persuade me to go on this ride. im 13 and i need to know is it scary??? like would you suggest i go on it?? people at school tell me its just like ur flying. i so scared ut ... should i be??

[@aliciah10]

hiya mate, do you mine me asking? was it busy today?? how many rides did you manage to get on ??

[@TheNigerianScammer]

Round of applause. No sarcasm intended. Anyone who can beat the queues's whist obeying the rules( No queue jumping) Is fine by me

[@MegaTrigger10]

whats the best ride at alton towers? ive never been before and im going in less than 2 weeks xD

[@567Trent]

do they have to lift the car up or was that just a test seat

[@NatalieHopkinsx]

I'm going to alton towers on friday, and that looks terrifying! :P

[@soapfan97]
