Air Concept art that I never put on TT. Only photos I'm afraid, they are too big to fit on my scanner. Probably the reason  I never shared before. No such thing as smart phones back then. Lol.

Amazing stuff...

Imagine if the area had actually looked like that, those head choppers on the ride track would have been awesome.

Wow! Awesome pictures!

Just a bit of a shame that they were never able to pull it off to that level. What we got was good, but what could have been would have been so much more, if these pictures are anything to go by.

Thanks for sharing Adrian, these are really great concepts! I would have loved to have witnessed what the atmosphere would have been like.

It’s weird to think that maybe if this much of investment actually took place, and was given this much detail / theming, would galactica still have replaced it? Interesting thought

Wow that looks amazing, I wish AT would invest some money into the themeing around Air/Galactica because it feels like the odd one out of all the SW's with the least themeing even though in my opinion it's one of the best rides at the park.
