AIR Statistics

It's not gonna have a launch.  Look at the top of the lift hill.  It's not launching into anything special.  It goes up, then down.  No flip, no turn, no nothing.  *You might think I'm basing this on what the hulk does, well, I sort of am.  But don't yell at me for it*.  This kind of coaster would have it anyways being that it can do that.  Also, I think you can see a pre drop on the model.  I'm not sure though.  You can double check as will I.  I'm not saying a launch wouldn't be cool, a launch would kick a**.  But I don't think it's happening.  Also, could someone elaborate more on the 2 station thing.  Of course it's gonna have a moveable track.  I figured that out.  Otherwise the station wouldn't get any use.  But could someone tell me how it increases people per hour?  Thanks a lot.  Don't quote me on any of this please.  Thanks.

The twin track thing enables 2 trains to be loading at the front end of the station, while another 2 are unloading at the rear of the station. After the station, but before the lift, there's a section of track where one train can 'sit' and wait for the previous train to clear the lift, while the next 2 trains load, and yet more trains unload, enabling you to have 6 trains running while only one is on the main length of track. This reduces the amount of time when the main length of track has no train on it, hence increasing capacity. Clever innit!!

Hey mate, do you live anywhere near AT? Just asking if you've ever checked AIR out.

Aaaaahhh!! I'm tearing my hair out, exactly what is this world first they're talking about?? All I know is that in an interview with John Wardley, he said you would be able to see it straight away. Check for yourself, click here & at the bottom select 'John Wardley Interview.'

A suggestion was that guests would ride in the fully prone position not 'seated' on the FDs.

Actually, AIR is gonna have corkscrews(2) that you travel on the outside of the track.  A feature Vekoma said was impossible.  -----------------

Actually Vekoma did make it possible.  Both X-Flight and Batwing have corkscrews on the outside of the track.  Come to think of it, I think they're are just in-line twists instead of corkscrews.

OneKong VEkoma isnt Trash! u r just one of those tourists that doesnt know anything about coasters. u just go along with the fads. "B&M is the greatest everything else it trash" come on! almost everycoaster out there is good to a true coaster fanatic.

I remeber reading somewhere, I think it was Rideas.com, that stated that AIR (or whenever it is revealed the true name of this flying coaster) would have something as a special surprise when it is opened. I think it has glow-in-the dark paint schemes.

If you don't believe me, well think about it. The track is bright neon-green which is usually the basic glow in the dark color. I think this would be a very unique idea since it already travels through a couple of tunnels, so people could enjoy it in the daytime as well as the night time. Another point I would like to make, I remember that around some time in the Spring of 2000, there was a thread about glow in the dark roller coasters, maybe someone was listening......

The name has been revealed. Look Here

One more thing, I would hate to interrupt this ongoing conversation about Vekoma and I apologize because it is none of my business, however, can we please stick to the topic?
