Air @ Alton Towers POV during snow

Air at Alton Towers, during snowy weather. Includes POV.
(Sorry about the soundtrack!!) LOL

[@hyacinthsfae]

I was scared about going on this ride but this vid actually makes me want to go on it! Thanks!!! Also I didnt realise that you are pushed upwards so you are facing the ground! Looks really cool!

[@grippinghands]

The seats are so comfortable makes you feel like your actually flying

[@johnm400uk]

air must be the best coaster to watch off ride. The way it glides around the track so smoothly is so nice to watch.

[@zachbladen]

johnm400uk it's called galactica now Because it has VR

[@johnm400uk]

I know but to me it will always be air. I watched them build it in 2001 and believe me when it opened in 2002 it had huge queues and lots of teething problems so i got plenty of time to stand watching it. I can remember the announcement every 5 minutes, 'air is experiencing technical problems'. Great times and great memories.

[@ukridesinfo]

LOL - I remember that, I think it only lasted about a week before it closed for re-design!

[@beckybarnes78]

Going to Alton Towers next week for the first time and this ride looks awesome!

[@georgia7817]

100% recommend this ride for anyone who’s not keen on big thrill rides like the smiler and rita, it’s not too fast and there’s no loops, it’s more calming than scary

[@ukridesinfo]

Agreed Georgia D :-)

[@coastermadab]

Air just looks magical in the snow.

[@chelseahill226]

I've been on Air in the dark and you can't barely see the track in front of me genuinely makes you feel like a bird!

[@yellowpsychopath]

AIR look better and more well themed in the snow!

[@warhammerxbox11]

It's amazing the way you feel like ur flying, it was my 3rd ever rollercoaster

[@MrVillun]

[@wahmanwahman386]

I WAS ACTUALLY CRYING WHEN I HEARD ‘we’re walking through the air’

[@djkillz141]

I'm going to Alton towers next Wednesday can't wait to go on this and all the rest of the rides :D

[@FrightNights13]

the music for this is amazing!

[@trainlover16]

You have nothing to be sorry about the soundtrack for, it is perfectly remixed. (50th comment)

[@ukridesinfo]

Thanks, and congrats on number 50! lol :-)

[@trainlover16]

www.ukrides.info In fact it should be the soundtrack for the ride at Christmas time.

[@TheKrystahlPhoenix]

The music you chose for this was perfect :)

[@maxinebendix]

At last, AIR gets theming!

[@rossnolan2883]

I went on this ride I think every one from the world should go on it

[@ASTER-IX]

sound track is nice

[@jackandylan123321]

And i thought it was incredible in the dark...

[@ukridesinfo]

Congrats on the earnings, go - on... treat yourself! Highly recommended for our purposes!! There's a variety of mounts you can get for Go Pro, the cam is a tiny little thing though, I wouldn't wanna be using one without some form of lanyard / mount. I'm using the chest harness here as I think its the best option for rides. They also make a watch-strap mount, but not for the latest versions (Go-Pro Hero 3).

[@jamesthemaniac3293]

Wonder why B&M never built another flying coaster with an extended section on your back?

[@ukridesinfo]

A good point... although they did the pretzel loop things.

[@johnm400uk]

The bit on your back is stupid. When have you ever seen a bird fly on its back? Maybe it was John Wardley or AT who asked for it, or maybe they just wasnt confident of putting any other type of element into the ride at the time with it being the worlds first true flying coaster. It could even be that Alton Towers budget wouldnt allow for the extra time needed to develop any other elements and the bit on your back was much cheaper and simpler to use.

[@martinirving153]

You need to remember. this was a prototype. see what works and what does not.

[@DomWPC]

the bit on your back was suggested by Walter Bolliger, personally I love it but its a bit too long

[@jasminehawkins1507]

johnm400uk have u ridden it? It’s the best feeling ever, stop dissing Towers

[@LWVandMORE]

This ride wasn't ment to be a scary ride. It was ment to be relaxing. It's not scary at all

[@johnm400uk]

Caitlin Williams your chatting crap! The ride would not of started had your restraint not been properly shut. The floor would not of even gone down in the station. Every single restraint has sensors on the latches and then another safety latch with sensors that engages as a back up should the primary latches fail half way around the ride (highly unlikely)

[@elbwil4504]

I almost fell of that! They never put the belt on properly and I had to make a fuss before a man came over and fixed it. They had almost started the ride. They had to delay it. The man said if I hadn't had yelled for him, it would have came off half way through the ride. :/ amazing ride though! Good for my first rollercoaster! :3

[@dantruss5461]

Caitlin Williams wow your going to lie about stuff like that

[@themeparkenthusiast169]

Caitlin Williams What absolute s**t , the ride wouldn't have started without all of the restraints being shut properly. The floor would not have lowered and the emergency stop procedure would prevent the ride from leaving the station. Stop trying to cause arguments and give Alton a Towers a bad name!

[@savat_95]

the music is creepy

[@ukridesinfo]

LOL The music is the original music from when 'Air' first opened in 2002. :-)
