It's been a long time since I rode this. As a travelling coaster this is impressive, but as a permanent attraction it's an okay ride at best and the presentation at M&D's was very poor.

This roller coaster felt pointless. While inverted trains sounds fun, the restraints are restrictive, and the tight turns are banked, taking away the core benefits of the wild mouse layout. It's sad when a standard or spinning wild mouse offers a better ride.

The vertical loop lift hill is a novelty, and hanging upside down is fun. The following inversions are good fun too but the layout is too short.The lap bar improves the sense of freedom, but tightens during the ride. This would be a major problem, however the ride is so short that by the time it becomes painful the ride is already over.

Based on when I rode in 2014 the Ben 10 theme was well done, and travelling backwards is fun. Apart from this it's a fairly average family coaster. ...

Based on when I rode in 2014 the Ben 10 theme was well done, and travelling backwards is fun. Apart from this it's a fairly average family coaster. I imagine without the Ben 10 theme the area is much more bland.

More of a novelty than anything thanks to the standup trains, which are getting increasingly rare. Only stand-up coaster with a zero- g roll. The layout is short but what is there is fun and not as uncomfortable as I expected. The station could really do with a refurbishment however.

Very impressive layout, surprisingly manages not to feel repetitive. The inversions are varied, with the rolls during the first drop standing out for me. The break in the middle provides a breather but is short enough to not be boring. The rumoured launch would have been cool but would have possibly been too intense, I guess we will never know. While it looks super cool from the outside, the Smiler theme adds little to the onboard experience, however it's not needed as the ride itself is sufficient. The coaster is rough in places and I'm sure it won't age as well as Nemesis but as of 2018 it is manageable.

Not a special layout compared to other wooden coasters across the world, but unique in the UK and just what Alton Towers needed. A fast paced ride with airtime pops and fast turns. The Wicker Man theme fits the hardware well and adds to the experience. A fantastic addition for the UK.

Well themed, comfortable trains. The outdoor section leaves a lot to be desired as it's short and tame. Indoor section is always good fun, even once you are familiar with the layout.

Excellent launch, and there is some airtime to be had. However the layout isn't exciting and too short. Rita does not fit in at all with Thirteen and ...

Excellent launch, and there is some airtime to be had. However the layout isn't exciting and too short. Rita does not fit in at all with Thirteen and the surrounding area.

Enjoyed my first rides on this, as flying was a new experience. Considering this was one of the first, Air is a good roller coaster however it pales in comparison to, for example, Manta at SeaWorld. The layout just isn't exciting once the novelty of flying wears off. The virtual reality is actually the best VR I've tried so far, however that isn't saying much. I enjoyed the experience, but as expected the capacity was poor and the Galactica theme is fairly bland in my opinion. The queue line is already vandalised as well which is really disappointing.
