Air's Tunnel
Where else will we complain during closed seasonIs it about time this thread closed? We now know its irrelevant if they did or didn't do anything

We can still look into it ;P
The fact they kept it the same during a retheme just because most guests will be blinded from the concrete is laughable really.
Boom conversation starter
This thread needs to remain for when, in a few years time, Alton Towers remove VR from Galactica due to high operating costs and the tunnel is once again visible for all to see!

The thread must stay open for nostalgia purposes....so when the park falls into its next state of disrepair and you have to pay to queue we can look back at the good old days of the tunnel and its excellent themeing

My worry is, when we do get Air back (which will happen) will we actually get Air?
I worry the ride will be left in its current guise but with turned off screens in the station or just the logo on it, the name Galactica, the space theme and the portal (even though it will have no relevance)...oh and still an unthemed concrete tunnel.

This. Everything WILL break, and we will will have the world's first fully dedicated space flight through Staffordshire.My worry is, when we do get Air back (which will happen) will we actually get Air?

At least they put spinballs name back, even if it was forced on them.

Yeah I sadly cannot see 'Air' returning. It will be far cheaper to rip out the VR and leave the rest...
It's a shame nothing has happened to the tunnel still. I wonder if the TLC team can get something done one closed season? All it really needs is a lick of paint, some lighting, and perhaps some smoke effect. Wouldn't cost that much to do.

Yeah on the cheap - the 3D signage never returned.
