Alton Towers- Air Theme Tune

- This is the theme tune for the flying coaster built by B&M and designed by John Wardley at Alton Towers Resort UK. Air is located in the Forbidden Valley section of the park and was the first flying coaster in the world when it opened in 2002.
In 2016 the ride will become Galactica which will be the UKs first VR coaster.
Galactica soundtrack= • Alton Towers- Galactic... - Hudba
Reminds me of being a dumb 14 year old kid. Standing in the cold, wet Staffordshire weather waiting for Air. Going to Alton towers with my mates every Saturday as we had annual passes. All you needed was £7.00 for the day. £4.00 for an all day First ticket: that got me from home to Hanley , Hanley to Alton Towers and vice versa and with the discount we got with our passes, £3.00 hotdog and chips from Ug Land! Awesome!
Ngl that sounded like fun my friend doesn’t want to go with me 😔
@@gengardanny607 rip
I never went when ug land was there.
Still the best AT sound track miss it so much, the bass line as you enter the station, and the dispatch sequence
The saddest death of 2016
Joel Robinson its the same
its galactica with vr
Its air with no vr
Maybe Sub Terra or Ripsaw or Charlie or Wobble World or The Flume or Air
Bring it back!
Too many people steal my profile pic
Nah sub terra sucked
Why did they get rid of this?? I still don't understand :c
The sound of this on a summers day up in the queue line by the trees with a buzz of excitement in the air is such a blissful and now nostalgic feeling
dji it is
Well spoken
God, what a memorable soundtrack. 0:34 - 1:21 is so iconic. Beautifully relaxing but also chilling, in a way.
All they needed was to add scenery- not take away this classic soundtrack. I wish they went through and put in the oasis feature like that they were hoping to do in 2002.
couldn't agree more. Galactica, in my opinion, was a bit of a waste since only 2 rows use VR headsets as of now.
@@imsoboredhahaha yh.
@@HalloweenCharlie Oblivion is my favorite ride and rethemeing would make me sue Merlin.
Back when it was built in 2002 Alton towers went over the 12 million pound budget for the ride and most of it was creating the new carts and couldn’t afford the theming we hoped but they should of done some space theming when it was re themed
Woah what was the oasis feature? I feel like Alton towers as a brand before Merlin was way more creative
An Iconic theme. This rollercoaster will always be known as Air. Me and my good friend where one of the first to ride it as we stayed in the hotel the night prior and got on before the park opened. Will never forget the experience.
Would've loved to ridden it when it was air, with that Stellar theme and fresh paint on the track when it opened... wow.
#bringbackair
I remember it like it was yesterday! Good times my bro!
they play this still in the forbidden valley just as you're walking round there u can hear it
Random Awesome Vlogs can u
I never heard it
Its very rare they put the air tune on
@@stevethecoasterfan this made my day!! It lives!!
@@louiswright8282 its extremely rare though like i say
1:02 I will never forget hearing this bassline just before entering the station
Beyond a perfect soundtrack for this ride, this is a brilliant piece of ambient/chillout from the early 2000s
So relaxing
This song gives me the feeling of pure happiness and comfort in paradise
Wish they brought this soundtrack back. Brings back so many memories ❤❤❤
I went to AT yesterday. As I walked past Nemesis, I put my headphones on and played this track. Took me back in an instant, what an incredible feeling 🩵🤍🩵🤍
I wish it still played around Galactica 😭
I still remember queuing for hours listening to this when it first opened
Air: relaxing soundtrack about flying
Galactica: rather intense soundtrack about getting back home
Both are good in their own way, but for me, Airs will always be better than Galacticas soundtrack.
As i never got to go on air when it was air, I don’t really know the soundtrack as well. Galactica’s soundtrack is probably my favourite of the two, but air also has a lovely soundtrack
@@louiswright8282 correct
I still remember the hype surrounding this ride when it first opened back in '02 - was lucky enough to visit the park that year in late May. The queue time by the time the park doors opened was already 1 hour. By 1.00pm - the queue time was 3 hours. Incredible ride and my absolute favourite theme tune of all the Alton Towers rides - pure exhilaration.
I remember going the summer this opened with a group of friends as a teenager and we queued up for 4 and a half hours in the blazing sun listening to this. It never got old.
The air in heaven 💨
It still sends tingles down my spine
T Prkr its cold chacras
Does the same to me love the tune brings back so many memories 😊
Air > Galactica
I really like this soundtrack, it's so relaxing and chilling.
I love this it brings back so many happy memories for me fun happy times I close my eyes and remember every moment ,some due to sad loss il never be able to have again all I have are the lovely memories and the tunes bring them all back 🥰
I like both the Air theme tune and Galactica’s. Both produce great elements for their rides themeing, Air’s gives me the feeling of flying through vast open skies like a bird and Galactica’s provokes tension and suspension on rocketing through space at high speeds. I miss Air, but Galactica is a great ride with great themeing in my opinion
hahahaha, ''theming'' - have you been to a US park?
Dave Orilian I never said either of these rides had great themeing, just that the music perfectly shows the theming, and have you seen The Smiler or Wickerman? U.S parks just use movies anyway
@@daveorilian5100 uk parks have better theming than US parks
@@daveorilian5100 most rides in the us have no theming
@@tumi_1 what do you mean scream at sfmm is themed to a car-park and you really are emersed into that theam
I heard this playing through Forbidden Valley!
SPEEDofSOUND123 WHAT! when and where?
GenericCZcamsNameHD I was just going over to Galactica and it was playing! Can't remember when though
YOU CAN STILL HEAR THIS IN FORBIDDEN VALLEY IM NOT LYING
They started playing old ride's theme tunes in their area I believe. I dont know why, they sometimes play black holes theme tune in X-Sector as well.
I think I heard it on my visit when I rode it for the first
@@themeparktycoon2tipsandtri250 enterprise took the theme
Extremely rare in 2022 unless you know a op who will pop it on haha
Best coaster theme song
If they don’t take Galactica down the route of the new Phalanx story they should consider bringing it back to Air. It just feels a bit… soulless? Wardley’s original idea of Air being the hero when Oblivion and Nemesis were the villains of the park I always found quite cool
We wanted it back at Alton Tower Resort
It’s so immersive...
BEAUTIFUL SOUND
We've just been to Alton Towers and Loved it.
Just makes me want to go back there now, have to wait until it reopens!!
Same ;_;
And when it reopened it was a whole diffferent theme 😢
@@joellatham197 #bringbackair
Can this please be on Spotify or iTunes or SOMETHING
I never got to ride air but Galactica is an amazing experience with or without the goggles defently worth a ride.
I've been on air, it's good and it feels amazing
Freya Miclei same here, I really wanted to ride it when it was air... Well rip I guess
Kila The Wolf you can still ride as Air because the goggles are optional
Goggles 😂
Headset*
This sounds like something that I would listen to if I done a skydive. Don’t know why to be honest
They could at least add some themeing in the tunnel.
If it was Galactica, the tunnel should have moon rocks, lots of fluorescent lights, and dry ice.
If it was Air, the tunnel should be repainted blue with a little waterfall to go with the quiet oasis themeing. Also, they should bring back the on-ride DVD.
someone did an interview with john wardley and he said they were gonna add theming to the tunnel but they didn't have time
they were also gonna add decorations to fly through on the ride
This brings back memories from 2008 god I was only 14 now I'm 25
Whoever makes these tracks for AT is a fucking god. This and so many other AT tracks have no reason to go this hard
Ian Habgood composed this. He also did Colossus' soundtrack at Thorpe Park!
i miss this theme so much :( I wish they'd revert back to Air, it may have cost money to retheme it and put that portal up but Galatica was pointless and wasn't even that good,That money could have gone towards something new.... I worked on it for a little bit back when it first opened and the amount of issues it had is insane... (before and after opening, and i think it even had a delay on it opening because the VR stuff was so shit!) they should have never messed with it...Air was fine as it was and now that they have scrapped VR headsets WTF is the point of Galactica.... the ride was so much better as Air... and this music is a great example, i think this music not only gives a great feeling of flying which works nicely with the rides theme but this music always made me think of the good times i had at Alton Towers...
I totally agree! Even the VR made you feel awfully sick to the point I had to just close my eyes the first time I rode it as Galactica
i love the galactica theme but even i have to admit it was a pointless move from AT, even moreso that the VR, the whole aspect of the theme/what made this ride special, is gone now. oh well, VR was tacky as hell anyway from the 3 times I rode where it actually worked..
my first ever proper roller coaster
Thomas Newton same, cant believe they rethemed it
Thomas Newton it's still the exact same rollercoaster just with a different name and optional VR
Sand Is A Mix Of Sea And Land, Mind Blown and a different soundtrack. the coaster was find without VR and the retheme.
Never gonna hear that at AT again
Tom Davis you might, they've started playing the black hole theme in x-sector again. Might play this as a throwback further down the line
Fuck dude..... memories...
This was the only ride I wasn’t scared of but then galactica came out but I don’t mind that😂
Why was everyone so annoyed at Galactica??Its the exact same ride and VR is optional. The air soundtrack still plays in forbidden Valley. So there’s nothing to complain about!
Megan Tararia Really? Why?
This ride always made me feel calm and relaxed after getting on. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Galactica. I still yearn for this to be played at Alton Towers in some way.
I can't decide whether his or galactica theme is better. they are both amazing in different ways but Air was my fave ride! :'(
Holly O. This theme is much better in my opinion.
Master Knife yeah..this is more interesting to listen to but the beat on galactica is great
@@hollyhs3222 Galacticas theme is great, grander, but more generic, while Airs theme is more calm, Unique and quite timeless.
air i gone, replaced by galactica but this is good so you can remember air
Press F to pay respects
Galactica is no longer a vr ride
They should turn it back to air
damn Alton towers changing their bloody rides from a good classic roller coaster to some vr shit I just don't get it!! I think they should just build a nother ride and make that a vr ride and turn galatica back into air.
The VR is optional. the ride is still the same.
They removed the vr and it is good
There's no space. Alton towers is currently planning on getting a new car park but that is URGENT. They are running out of space. The only way to get more people to come is to add something on to the original ride which is actually a FIRST.
CE Music Alton towers is massive!!
It is air they removed the rvs
this stinks of naughties it's beautful
Now that VR is finally gone I don’t know why people are still complaining about the re theme, Galactica is the exact same thing as A.I.R. but with a better soundtrack and a badass portal on the first drop
Rancord123 this soundtrack is just as good, I think they should mash them both up and play both of them together with the theming that John had originally planned
Ahh, the many hours wasted stood waiting in the queue line listening to this, whilst awaiting a ride engineer to fix the ride.....
Into longer exists however its loop being the first ever loop, is at the entrance of the park, it's so awesome and I wish I got to remember it
The only differences that I found with Air and Galactica is that Galactica has a portal, you can wear vr headsets and Air used to stop for about 15 seconds at the start of the lift hill.
Air only stopped on the lift hill if the staff sent the train a bit early, it can still stop but the VR headsets slows down the trains being sent out
it still does stop at the bottom of the lift hill. It does it if there’s still a train on the track.
Unpopular opinion: Air Theme is 999999x better then Galactica theme.
I love both in there own ways :)
This song makes me sad. IDK why... it reminds me of the game Rez which Toonami reviewed in 2004. The review had a cameo by Swayzak, and he sounded SO smug and sarcastic there, even if he was only laughing. This song reminds me of Sara and Swayzak's untold romance... I hate Toonami for what it did to me.
What cheers me up is thinking of the US's first flying coaster... and how weird a CERTAIN character in the queue line who spawned a term we still use today looks there...
I do not get why they changed this ride. Should have refurbed it like they have done with Nemesis.
never went on it b4
Same ride, nothing really changed
Galactica theme tune is so good
Hopefully someone reuses this theme for a commercial or something...,
hate to say but there re-themeing air next year :(
+Steve the coaster fan cheers dude , it will always be called air in my eye s
+Emporium World how have they copyrighted it ?? :)
Air is relaxing
Galactica is relaxing and humming
air at Alton towers you can fly
really
Yes
#bringbackair
Galacticas theme is looking tired, everything is peeling off, the tunnel Bridge is in an abysmal state, and Galacticas soundtrack is starting starting get a bit repetitive...
Oh, and I don't expect a 'space and beyond' in the middle of Staffordshire, but can believe concept of flight in Staffordshire.
Airs theme and soundtrack was beyond words, it was Stellar, languishing, just perfection for the area.
The more I hear Galacticas soundtrack, the more mediocre it becomes. The more is listen to Airs theme, the more I love it!!
I hope they rebrand it back to air with more theming to keep Forbidden Valley busy as Nemesis goes under its retrack. If Galactica made the area busy back in 2016, imagine an improved version of Airs theme.
I mean now the the VR is gone we can call it air? And why so relaxing it doesn’t fit the theme.......well a little bit
Sutch a shame this is galaxian now :(
galaxian ahahah lol its galactica hahahah galaxian the ride
jarredtbland it's still the same ride just with a VR option and a differ name
jarredtbland I like both galactica and air
Cameron Goldthorpe r/youngpeopleofyoutube
Why did Alton towers retheme air. Was a brilliant ride. Bad move by Alton towers in my opinion.
Graeme Cambridge still the same ride
Literally no difference in the ride, the only thing different is the theme ( which was pretty lacklustre) and the theme tune which, imo has been improved
Yes it's the same ride, just with a optional headset. But there are cons to this such as longer wait times to due the headset needing to be cleaned after every ride. Plus the headset sometimes fails to display the visuals meaning all you see is a black screen throughout the entire ride. The vr isn't even worth waiting for making the whole retheme pointless and making the ride worse.
Yes
Dude it’s a great thing
Kinda sounds like a Sonic Track ngl
😂
Pretty sure it sampled broken wings
I have no idea lol
I dont get the hate behind air being replaced b galactica. Just take off the VR glasses and youve got thte same ride.
dw they took the vr off galactica lmao
TurboJuk anyone?
love your channel mate!
:(
Loved this ride so much, my first rollercoaster that had inversions. And one of the best. The soundtrack and overall theme of the ride was awesome.
And now we have Galactica, IMO, a pile of shit. The VR isnt even optional anymore so i had to take it off at the lift hill to experience the ride as i want to. The VR, other than the first part (in the meteor shower) and the end, is unrealistic, nauseating and doesnt look very good at all.
R.I.P Air #BringBackAir
They don't even let you choose to ride without vr? Wow that's shitty and if you think Galatica's vr is bad never try the six flags vr I've seen games from the 90s that look more realistic.
GenericCZcamsNameHD I wouldn't say this ride has inversions, it basically just makes you lie down and you do have a choice.

GenericCZcamsNameHD I agree
Well they removed the headset so its basically air now.
It’s sort of like a blander version of Galactica
Galactica is good but I'd take this over galactica any day, especially since they fucked off the VR so the rebrand is sorta pointless now anyway
This could've fitted Galactica perfectly I really dislike the new theme song
I don't know. I think they both work. But this seemed a bit too positive for the forbidden valley. It's meant to be creepy.
+Aaron Wilson forbidden could also mean a forbidden experience though
whats with alton towers creepy areas the new rides weatherd sw8 have at ran out of ideas wait I know what it is less upkeep merlin can save a few quid I hope when merlin leave A T R the reliability of the in the park will improve and burger king will live on again also at need another water ride and rides will be replaced when ripped out plus flat rides I miss tussaurds
You dont like the new soundtrack, are you being serious? How could you doubt IMAscore. They made Smilers, Galacticas and now Wicker Mans soundtracks
Aaron Wilson apparently, air is situated over the horizon of forbidden valley, where all the fighting in Forbidden Valley has stopped.
No offence to the people who like Galactica but i think that its shit because the queues are longer because everyone wants to do the vr goggles which the quality is like looking though my dogs ass i just wished it was still air because i miss this theme
Now they have 2 lanes one for people who want the headsets and the other for people who don't want them. I really dislike Galactica too and the no headset queue im sorry to say the is the same waiting time for the vr. It's really nice though as on the no vr lanes they have removed the headsets so it's (kinda) air again except from the stupid portal thing outside. No offence to people who like Galactica either I just really miss the real deal. Air
i miss air Galataca is not as good
Same ride tbf
Galactica way better than air
It’s the exact same ride
@@SpeedyRCT more theme on Galactica and a better name
I prefer Galactica’s soundtrack just a bit better than this
Galactica Theme Song Is A Teeny Bit Better
I disagree strongly.
Gake & Fay sane
