The Air branding and theme needs to come back to Alton Towers in the near future. The Galactica branding worked for a while, but with Nemesis Reborn doing great, Galactica sticks out like a sore thumb. If the Air theme and brand came back, the area would feel complete again.
@@LukeStarkillerGamingVideosyeah, though I'd love them to complete the rides theming as the concept art showed. I'm just dreading they'll just retheme it to a military or nemesis theme, the ride would loose its fun, relaxing feel and quirk then, and its the only Secret Weapon Ride at the park without a gloomy theme. The branding is amazing though, from the iconic cloud vortex, to the light blue colour, and the iconic 'air' wording and font. If they brought back Nemesis original logo this year, I'd like them to give air the same treatment but with going back to the original look and theme.
@@m2tthewt there is actually a reference in the Galactica queue-line videos that Galactica tours parent company is Air Space Industries so I would say when Air Space Industries found the wormhole in Forbidden Valley they adapted the Air shuttles to safely transport guests through space and to avoid the conflict on Earth
Hidden Herobrine the only sad bit is the nostalgia it brings, I think galactica was more well done but now the vr is gone if they were to make it air again but do it even better than before then I would agree with their decision (especially how I wasn't tall enough to ride when I went in 2015 as air but only did it as galactica in 2018 and the vr headset just slid onto my forehead on the drop so I'll never get to experience the vr on it ever again)
@andyrainford5728 I did galactica with vr, and my headset fell off when I was in the fly to lie element. It was clearly designed without it, but I like all three songs this ride has had
This coaster wasn't designed for a space element, they try and push it on you and it just falls flat. It felt so much better when it was simply "feeling like you're flying!"
@@Synthonica_the_groovebot it's cool dw, tbf I'd already seen the concept art when I posted this haha, so that's probably why it made me imagine that. 4 years ago is crazy btw
Yes!! Let's be honest here, people only really liked Galactica because it was branded as new for the park, but only lately in the past couple years, people are starting to really appreciate airs original theme. It was so unique for a ride. No generic backstory or spooky theme of the ride trying to kill you, just some silver Sci-fi buildings based in an oasis with structures that recreate the feel of flight with an ambiguous origin. So simple, yet so good!
As much I like the Galactica soundtrack, the one reason why I prefer this one is because, I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, songs in E flat just hit different
@@scottguest9875I'd love that, though most rides at Towers have In the Hall of The Mountain King incorporated in them, so personally I'd like airs extended music not to have it and be more original and unique. I'd love them to add the theming that never made it to production, especially that concrete tunnel. It looked great!
When it first opened in 2002 it regularly broke down for the first few weeks. In fact, it would experience a problem every few circuits. It's because it has do many safety sensors. If one gives a bad reading, the whole ride stops. Also, the train tilting mechanism suffered a failure in the first few months tilting a few rows of trains and leaving the others in the seated position. I guess that's what happens with worlds first coasters, nothing has been perfected and theres been no chance to iron out any problems.
Hi, Unfortunately, we don't have an emergency stop announcement but we do have these: th-cam.com/video/K4cEh--2Ul4/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/jjUy1-wAzIY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/rugh93Jww7s/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/yzNMQHJbVF4/w-d-xo.html
What a shame.. I'm not sure, but there's an announcement you don't have, I believe it's the reopening Ann. but there's a low quality version of it, th-cam.com/video/OnkSpiaMa8o/w-d-xo.html
@@ChimpyWallaht the beginning of galactica's the notes are similar but in a higher key. It is similar to the long notes after the beat drop in this song.
It's been a while since your comment but, Introduction by Solar Fields (Mirrors Edge Original Video Game Score) is almost identical to this tune. Same vibes for sure.
RIP Air
2002-2016
Maybe Alton Towers will come back to their senses and bring it back.
Air and Galactica are the *SAME* ride, it just has a different name and theme.
Just want her back. 😢
tmi bro

air had a sort of sad yet ethereal tone, it was so chill.

@@generalbacon6955 I read somewhere that air is loacted across the valley where there isn't a war
To Be Announced its a paradise escape from the nemisis monster in the forbidden valley

@@thomaselkington6008 Kind of yeah, Air is basically the light side while Nemesis is the dark side
I always get a bit sad when I look at the Rollercoaster Restaurant and remember it was once the Air Shop
This soundtrack and theme are WAY better than Galactica for a flying coaster
b-b-but space??
@@theactualjavening ssshhhh.... there is no generic space theme, there is only air, so, Time to fly. assume the position, prepare for air, now fly...
The galactica one was probably better when the VR was working tbf

End of 2023, and still coming back to this for some chill moments and reminders of happy times for me at A.T.
Bring back that tune it is magical the queue didn’t seem half as long whilst listening to it so many happy memories of Alton Towers 🥰
I miss this soundtrack :(
The joy that this soundtrack gave to so many people
And still does-
THROUGH THE POWER OF THE INTERNET!!!
Yeah, I'll shut up now...
This gives me goosebumps all over, I remember this so well. I really miss Air as it was, merlin have to ruin everything
I remember when they announced Galactica and the first thing I thought was " so no more air music?!?!?!"
I've been going to Alton towers since 2008 as a kid.. this song is a staple to my nostalgia. I love it so much
This is my favourite soundtrack. It transports me to alton towers. Absolutely wonderful. Prepare for air was the best thing!
My mum loved Air, she told me it was her favourite Alton Towers ride. This music gives me memories. I haven’t been to Alton Towers in 10 years 😁
well sadly air isn’t here it’s galactica 😫
@@jessthedinosaur2793 I still call it Air, it still gives the same flying experience. Went on it yesterday and is still as smooth as ever 😊
@@Bex_1997 If memories never die, neither will the ride.
Even though my first ride was in 2017, air is forever better
This makes me think of a paradise but not like a beach, more like a land of water falls and rocks and rivers and a big glass building
If you look up Air's concept artwork you will see exactly that (sorry for being late)
@@Synthonica_the_groovebot it's cool dw, tbf I'd already seen the concept art when I posted this haha, so that's probably why it made me imagine that. 4 years ago is crazy btw
Rip Air. It's now 2018. Last time it was Air it was 2018! Air was one of the best rides at Alton Towers :-(. This Music gives me memories
It was 2016 when they changed it to Galactica..
@Lottieplays the not-so-theme is gone. i liked that not-theming! No seriously i prefer it as air despite the lack of theming!
@@Archman155 Pretend the portal doesn't exist and it's literally the same ride as air ;)
No it was 2016
@@Archman155the theme was flying, did you even ride it? 😅
One of the best soundtrack at towers for me
even though ive only been on galactica
This is the best soundtrack ever!
Merlin, if you are reading this message, bring back air

imagine if air returened with this soundtrack but remastered and longer, maybe the alton towers theme tune thrown in somewhere

This song is so beautiful 🌬️
The Frutiger Aero vibes are strong with this one
Can you make Nemesis and Th13teen Announcement's, e.g. Breakdown, Reopening and General Announcement's like weather announcement?
I've never heard either tbh?
@@Bxn320, I've heard Th13teen's before, it says something like "Due to disturbances in the Dark Forest, we are unable to proceed any further"
This one is just as good as the Galactica one apart from its more repetitive
You do know they are the same ride right?
@@giraffe5004 i think they meant the soundtrack
Yes
I remember the first time I went on this it broke down, and we were facing downwards for at least an hour.
When it first opened in 2002 it regularly broke down for the first few weeks. In fact, it would experience a problem every few circuits. It's because it has do many safety sensors. If one gives a bad reading, the whole ride stops. Also, the train tilting mechanism suffered a failure in the first few months tilting a few rows of trains and leaving the others in the seated position.

Sounds like something you would hear in Subnautica
Its beuteful
Now fly...
Can you do The Smiler's breakdown, and emergency stop announcements?

That recording is not the best quality unfortunately. The previous link you sent was a shortened version of the technical difficulties announcement.
Theme Park Music Looped Ik this was two years ago but is there a Rita soundtrack cause I really like it but it’s nowhere to be found
Hello from 3 years later!
this makes me think of mirrors edge
Wait the air soundtrack is in the galactica soundtrack OMG!
Where?
@@ChimpyWallaht the beginning of galactica's the notes are similar but in a higher key. It is similar to the long notes after the beat drop in this song.
Anyone know any other music like this?
Jamie Barker try the test drive unlimited 2 map music 😂 not even kidding
Future sounds of london

Is it me or does the first picture look like a painting
Whereabouts in forbidden Valley is air
Right at the back. It is now known as galactica
Rebellion
Rip Galactica it is 2022
0:35 omg so purrrfect
Not

doing revision whilst listening very calming although i prefer Galactica's soundtrack
RIP Air, it was remade Galactica like what happened to Sonic Spinball..
Spinball Whizzer was its original name and was changed back after the Sonic IP run out
@@Rancord123 now it's time for air to get the same treatment. It's for the best honestly.
