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.
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!!
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.
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
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.
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! :)
The name 'Air' does so much to get you pumped for the ride. What ignorant fuqboi decides to rename and re-theme it, and take away much of what made the ride so cool? Galactica? Really? Screw that! It'll always be Air in my heart.
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.
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
If you ever go to Alton Towers you HAVE to go on this ride, I can't explain how amazing it is, deffo my favourite ride there:D btw don't worry about falling out because you feel perfectly safe:D
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
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 :)
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!
@samyfist yeahh manta looks awesome!!! this looks alright but when ur on it its absolutely amazing! u feel so weightless! there is soo much airtime in it, its my favorite and its quite a chilled relaxed ride!
John is a great innovator. Thirteen was not white knuckle but more family ride. He is the master at white knuckle rides. Nemesis is the only ride to make me walk funny after riding. And i have ridden a lot of ones around world. Its very intense
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.
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!
Alton Towers : Let's make money and retheme this!
Us : U W0T M8
+Luke B i think it was more
"Lets theme it"
Air had no real theme. Plus the VR makes it a new experience.
+CoasterGuy air was themed around flying and to feel like free
+Luke B And galactica is themed around flying higher.
That was my reaction omg 😂
I'd probably become a worker at Alton Towers and rip out every single VR pouch and transmitter given the opportunity.
Very fun smooth ride.
Not overly Intense, but that's shy I like it
DarrellPeel why not shy
Ikr it feels like flying
It's my favourite ride at Alton Towers. So exhilarating! It's such a wonderful feeling.

That bit of moon Safari at 2:07 really brought me back! Wow!
I actually remember watching this on telly, making me feel old lol
I have been on air 12 times and can;t wait to go on it again
Air is my very favourite ride! Cant wait to go later this week!
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!
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.
God I miss Air
Take off the head set on galactica
They let u if u ask btw
Callum C Galactica is air.
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!!

I've only been on vampire, no idea how I'm going to manage Thorpe Park's rides like Swarm and Nemesis inferno when I go..Oh god
IM GOING ON SUNDAY AND I CANT WAIT ANOTHER SECOND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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
Going in the summer holidays- cant wait to go on this!
I went on it, It was amazing!
Alton towers has to be one of the best theme parks ever! :D

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.

Bryn Jermy 🖕Galatiga
Ditzy Director It’s still air, just ride without headsets.
Yeah, but we can ride without vr now, also you an ARMY?
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
went on it twice yesterday. my fave rollercoaster.
Just came back from Alton!! Went on the ride, I was sick but the ride was well..EPIC!!

John Wardle being proud of himself. He deserves to be. X
Wardley.
I went on this the first summer it opened, waiting took ages but best experience of my life! I would seriously love to go on it again!
I love how the John is just describing it as he goes along while the other man is like "WHOOO! YEAH! WE'RE GOING TO HIT THE GROUND...NO WE'RE NOT!"
we need a Alton towers in the USA cause some of these roller coasters are freaking amazing
that ride was sooo fun x cant wait to go bak to alton towers xx
went on this 7 times at alton towers,my favourite ride without a dout!
Air is more relaxing than most coasters. Nemesis is a beast of a ride. I went on both.
The name 'Air' does so much to get you pumped for the ride. What ignorant fuqboi decides to rename and re-theme it, and take away much of what made the ride so cool? Galactica? Really? Screw that! It'll always be Air in my heart.
im going on this on my birthday with my bestie:) shes never been on it before so good luck to her
I am going on Sunday before we go back to school and I love it I went on it last year
the best ride ever! it really feels like flying.... i loved it!

So the rides call air and the background music is Moon Safari by Air yep i see what they've done there!!
This guy was great, he really let John speak on the ride unlike many others
I went on the 16th, and I waited 3 hours in the queue for air. I went on the first row though and loved it so much!
being on it already , brilliant ride , and it does feel like that your actually flying .
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

If you ever go to Alton Towers you HAVE to go on this ride, I can't explain how amazing it is, deffo my favourite ride there:D btw don't worry about falling out because you feel perfectly safe:D

Went today, was so awesome!! I love this ride
I have been on it too and it was great:D All the other good rides in Alton Towers were sooo fab.:D:D:D
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!
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
It was awsome ! I went years ago I think they should make another one !
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 :)
My fave roller-coaster ever!!
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!
all time favourite ride at alton towers
That looks amazing. Im going there in September with my friends.
AIR IS AMAZING i went on it a couple of months ago and i loved it, very comfortable aswell lol!
Loved this ride! so much fun!
John Wardley is like a kid that always dreamed of making a rollercoaster and Alton towers make it happen for him. John being proud 4:04
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!
@samyfist yeahh manta looks awesome!!! this looks alright but when ur on it its absolutely amazing! u feel so weightless! there is soo much airtime in it, its my favorite and its quite a chilled relaxed ride!
I passed out giggling on this ride :D
12 years!!!
22 years
John is a great innovator. Thirteen was not white knuckle but more family ride. He is the master at white knuckle rides. Nemesis is the only ride to make me walk funny after riding. And i have ridden a lot of ones around world. Its very intense
I went on this earlier today one word. EPIICCC!!
I've been on Manta and Air and I like Air more, the bit when you're on your back makes the ride.
i went today... i hate rollercoasters and never go on them. but this was brilliant! go on it and you wont look back :)
my first up side down rolla costa and loved it
Omg i loved this ride! I wanna ride it again!
I love taking advantage of gravity. can't wait for tomorrow!
ive never been on a loop the loop and i HATE drops on rollercoasters- but im so determined to go on it.
i can remember when this ride first opened (i was quite young so i didn't go on it) but my sister and my dad queued up for 2 hours -_-
that ride is insane!
Went on this and loved it !
that looks like a load of fun
best best ride ver in the world well that's what i've been told i can't wait.
i was on that ride like 50 times! its so good!
i've been on air, best experience ever.
Round of applause. No sarcasm intended.
Anyone who can beat the queues's whist obeying the rules( No queue jumping) Is fine by me
it's fun, even when it breaks down on you at the location at 3:57 and you just stop XD
been on this it feels like your flyin !!!! amazin!!
oh my god i LOVED air.
it isnt scary its just exciting !
i sat in the same place the bluepeter guy is sitting xD
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.
Just went to Alton Towers today. Seems strange seeing that roller coaster with no trees or scenery around it. :-P
Yes, the second time we went on it today we were dangling face-down for a while at the start!
i loved this ride!
such an enjoyable ride
