It opens in 17 days, and there just now testing. Maybe I'm seeing something wrong.

Is that from your vast experience in building, testing and opening roller coasters?

ROFL, Jeff. 

Air has now been testing for over 2 or 3 weeks not just yesterday. I think B&M have also handed air over to alton now so final lanscaping can be completed in time for the 16th. It will be ready! Alton are pretty well organised in that department considering this is the end of about 4 years of development.

I hear something COLLOSUS coming. Cheese at its best hey!

air has been testing since jan 10th

Agreed!  Oblivion looked a wreck a week before opening ( as shown on many TV progs)  and was immaculate on opening day. Doubtless the same trick will be pulled off here, especially given all the likely media coverage.  Any word on Min / max height restrictions yet? It would be a real blow not to be able to ride this thing.....

AIR has been testing for weeks! I spoke to someone who rode it about a month ago, and all they said was that we won't be disappointed!

Dang, that is some serious articulation between the rows on the in-line twist! Looks GREAT!

Nothing... NOTHING... can prepare you for... the Fourth Dimension!

I don't care what you say.......B&M has mastered the flying experience. I mean that thing has sharp roll overs, great dives, wonderful turns, and it also looks like it is what a REAL flying coaster should be like.

It's his turn to feast, when you ride the Son of Beast.

That's not roughness that intensity

Do the trains for Air (or B&M's flying model) recline only in the station or can they recline while ascending the lift hill?

Gemini 100

Yes, some engineers from the various companies involved in building it have ridden it already.

As far as I know the "seats" recline whilst you are in the station, but don't quote me as I'm not 100% certain.
