Air, Alton Towers POV

[JiGe96]

Does this have a long waiting time usually?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@JiGe96 Yes

[Dooggyy2]

What camera are you using?

PLZ REPLY

[Dooggyy2]

No 1 screamed :O

[MrRubendeRuiter]

that thing has a drop of like 3 meter and still they've made it an aweome coaster. Good job Alton Towers!

[JoeThornley]

i dont think people understand your lying down on this coaster.

[Coaster123ification]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom is top thrill dragster,maverick and kingda ka etc. very scary if i can handle incredible hulk,battlestar galactica,space mountain,dueling dragons and others?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Coaster123ification Top Thrill Dragster & Kingda Ka are among the fastest & the tallest coasters, but if you can handle those one you mentioned then you should be fine with the others.

[Coaster123ification]

Wow...whats the most intense ride you have been on coasterforce?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@Coaster123ification The most intense ride is probably Vertigo at Tivoli Gardens in Copenhagen, Denmark or Gotterflug at Belantis Theme Park in Germany. As far as coasters are concerned, X2 & Tatsu at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Top Thrill Dragster & Maverick at Cedar Point, El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure & Boulder Dash at Lake Compouce all spring to mind.

[keyblademastersora43]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom hey has any of the coasterforce members gone on the ring racer the first F1 roller coaster?

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@keyblademastersora43 East Coast(er) General went there the week it opened, but arrived the day after it broke down & it hasn't opened since. That was on July 23, 2009.

[AlDaFunkyMonkey]

@wwwCOASTERFORCEcom have you ever been on the roller coaster in black pool called the big one it is the biggest fastest and longest one in Europe lol i went on it and shat myself when i saw the 250ft sign

[wwwCOASTERFORCEcom]

@AlDaFunkyMonkey Yes, Eastcoastergeneral just returned from a trip to England & Italy. He'll be posting videos of the coasters at Blackpool soon.

[asianjae15]

lame

[Conchiron]

The bit where you're on your back is incredibly comfortable.

Maybe it's all the walking around and standing in crowds but I went on 4 times just for that bit :]

[Gurufail]

wat the hell. this looks like a kiddie coaster

[MrCobyChan]

@Gurufail Well, then your retarded :)

[Gurufail]

@MrCobyChan well then, ur late

[MsOnlythebest]

Can any tell me if it's really scary?? I've never been on a roller coaster that goes upside down lol & I'm going in a few weeks :)

[jimsmells67]

Alton towers really need a ride that lasts longer than a minute...

[coolcrazy918]

It isn't scary , it feels like your flying (: ...but its best if you get on the front seats!

[guitarvortex11]

i love the bit where it comes out and u feel like ur free at 0:14

[naranord]

This ride isn't scary at all, just sheer fun and relaxing. If you are in for only big thrills, this might not be the perfect coaster for you, homever, I really think you should go on it just so you experience it cause it's pretty damn cool.

[xXSceneGirl56Xx]

cant wait to go on thiiiiiis in june with my best frienddd WOOP! :D

[1995maggot4life]

on the pov it looks really slow but its actually fast-ish

O.o

[aayanaasir]

dat woz a sik ride

i used 1 of those que buster things 4 oblivion,air and nemesis

[MrMusician100]

air is NOT worth the wait

but its an ok ride ;)

[MiniToasty1]

this was the second big ride i went on

(Pssst. the first was Oblivion :DDD)

[hapahapahappy]

Man that looks slooooow.

[Outofboxreviews]

always does on youtube but seriously it picks up some great speed

[candy12567]

i had to take my shoes off for that ride

[jacklosman]

it looks absolutely AWFUL on POVs, looks like its going at 10mph but its not scary feels quite fast(ish) and nearly as good as oblivion imo

[Meikemoo]

It isnt scary, its just an enjoyable experience. And it is one of the best, along with the scarier rides like Oblivion. It is good to have one ride that isnt too scary, so that people who visit alton towers who dont like very scary rides, can still go on a big ride and enjoy it. It is a family ride and is an amazing feeling! You feel like your really soaring through the air!

[stgelaisxavier]

Just my opinion, cause I haven't been on it, but this looks like B&M's biggest fail.

But like I said, I haven't been on so I don't really know

[GandhiRocksHard]

While it may look pathetic, this ride is certainly the best, joint with oblivion, in the park. Whilst it may not give as much of an adrenilin rush, this ride gives a brilliant wieghtless feeling just like you are flying. This POV really dosn't do it justice.

[stgelaisxavier]

True...A pPOV won't really show how awesome it is to be on, but if I were on, I would probably like it

[azzerishere]

you need to ride it then, i think its awesome

[richardlerwill3]

@stgelaisxavier

I've ridden Superman and Air, and I prefer Air! But as alot of people have said on here, none of the videos really capture the feel of it. It feels alot faster and the swoops close to the ground are so satisfying. I'd happily queue over an hour for it and I look forward to riding it everytime.

I wouldn't call it a fail. It's popular with the public too.

[aarontattersall]

i love this ride its not scary at all its acc quite relaxing =D

[Eela97]

It's my fav ride, I know it's not scary or anything but it's just fantastic

[ShannonL295]

This Isnt Actually That Scary Its Just A Load Of Fun But Shame It Only Lasts A Minute :(

[rollercoastmad735]

this ride is there to give ua simulation that you are flying and it reaches it (5 star) ride

[angelbab103]

im going here on 2nd n ive been to alton towers over 20times and ive been to scaed to go on but im gonna do it!

[Mrresker]

lol ur not missing much

[jaystevo12]

its really not that bad

[choochooguy63601]

Awesome! I rode this last Thursday and it was amazing! 5*

[WillandVal]

I quite liked this ride, I know its not the most thrilling but the way you are positioned makes it so unique.

I had to laugh at the photos afterwards, a guy in a superman t-shirt was trying his best look like him.

[Jackw40]

This ride was awful

[ultimablaze5]

._.

[TaylerTerror94]

this ride is really boring.

ive been on it around 6 times now,

cause i went to alton towers with different people who wanted on it.

both times i went it broke down, the second time with me on it.

oblivion and nemesis are so much better, though they are both different types of rollercoaster. just my opinion (:

[KaraBubz]

aww i love it, its not thrilling like the others but i think its beautiful .. just like your flying! xxxxx

[TheDrumMan20]

GPOfficial, I live very close to Kings Island, and have ridden Firehawk probably 20 times, and I would not even call it a flying coaster. I'd call it a laydown coaster with flying elements. Half the ride is laying on your back. Plus Firehawk is extremely short. No Vekoma can ever be better than a B&M. I've never ridden Air, but it looks a lot better than Firehawk. Firehawk just gets really old really fast.

[groovyPeNdUlUm]

GPOfficial you don't know what your talking about. I went sunday and air is amazing sheer flight sensation , great fun! and so not scary , just really relaxing the backwards bit is the best and when you are first tipped your like woah this isnt good but as soon as you start the drop its all good!

[GPOfficial]

Wow - that looks really boring. If you want to experience "flight" then go to Kings Island in the awesome USA and ride Firehawk - that is way better than this crap.

[altontowersnjbdani]

i love this ride the 1st time i went on i thought i was gonna wack my legs against the trees

[dimmuborgir512]

my friend thought he did Lol

[theamazingzivmaster]

i wanted to go on this ride but the que time was 2 hrs long O.O

so i rode the kfc instead. nom nom :3

[VideoRide]

wow, the que time was 5 mins when i was there, and i rode it twice in a row.

[fossil98]

[samavrilfan93]

[emko100]
