Air possible retheme!

[Clarky]

I was at Alton Towers today and when I asked a member of staff, they replied that there was a rumour Air will be rethemed if SW8 was built on the car park nearby, what do you think of this?

Ride ops are notorious for making things up, when the Smiler was being built I got told that there needed to be 600 hours of testing and that the unique feature was tilting trains..... look how that worked out

but then also remember, they told us the date that the smiler opened

I know what you mean ready but if the new coaster did arrive, would the theming fit in with forbidden valley (I don't think air does anyway), so could these 2 coasters not form a new area?

Which date is this? The original opening, the failed openi, the rumoured openings that's never occurred? Or how about the 18th may? My point is, staff at alton towers love wowing guests with information they have, which in fact is almost always rumour and spin.

Well that's good then isn't it!

its kind of inevitable that if SW8 were to be built on the car park next to air (please god no) then yes, i believe that air and this other coaster will have a land of their own. hooray!

[Clarky]

Why do you not want it built except there? Yes it is off the beaten track but where else could they build a good sized coaster?

[cookiee_munster]

the flume site, the coach park just near to katanga canyon, coaster corner (indoor ride)

there are other area's of land they could use. i just wish they'd spread their coasters around a bit...

[Clarky]

fair point, the flume area might be used for a different water ride, or perhaps a refurb though so that area wont be used
