Air (roller Coaster)
Air or Aerial Inversion Ride is a steel flying roller coaster located in the Forbidden Valley area of Alton Towers in Staffordshire, England. The ride was the first flying roller coaster designed by the Swiss manufacturers Bolliger & Mabillard. Guests ride in a prone position and experience the feeling of flight by 'flying' close to the ground, under footpaths and gliding narrowly past objects such as trees and rocks. It is the tallest roller-coaster in Alton Towers.
It was formerly sponsored by Cadbury Heroes and its slogan is "Assume the position."
