Great uploads! Makes you wonder them other concept themes for thirteen might get used again? The machines or creatures could easily be used in FW and a storyline linked with nemesis is a possibility.

For example "The old nemesis beast has been pinned down for many years but recently it has begin to move again until one day it gave birth to a creature/monster which vanished into the forest. It is upto you to go down there and try find out where the new beast is hiding"

If alton could add that extra scenery into air then it would feel like an oasis then, not just a ride without theming

Yeah it would be nice with the waterfalls and tunnel, but John W's got a point that a few waterfalls and an empty tunnel dont make it a complete failure, and the area is still well landscaped and tranquil

I was just thinking it would look good

Air is a decent ride, but could be made into an amazing EXPERIENCE by addition of those features.

Never mind, too late now!

In regard to the oasis theming, I think its important not to look back in anger and accept what we have! :

*Badum-tish*

I love Air the way it is, it's classy, smart and understated, and the minimalism fits the nature of the ride...but it could have been so much more...

Also, why does the squirrel look like a fox in the concept art? :lol:

Never ever seen this character on park, where does he usually lurk?

Have to admit I'm more fond of him than Mr Nutty!
Rowe

He lurks only at Alton Towers Hotel where he rejected Chris much like how Ringo does with Splash :)

Technically not Towers, but I once met Glen Earlam at CWoA, and he had a large piece of concept art showing the Nemesis Inferno train against a red background - didnt get a photo - these sort of things would look great on an enthusiast's wall, but likely just end up in some archive!
