Danter's Air is attending for the first time in 10 years years as well.

King Loops is back too, Went on it today and for £5 got a 6 minute ride, admittedly it nearly killed off my partner but the 5 consecutive flips while spinning around was very intense, Star Gate was back too and although I do love it , I have to admit it was making a lot of rattly noises which was a little disconcerting lol. Air was £8 and I honestly expected more from it, from the ride we got, other than the height it was actually quite tame in experience. Skyfall was fantastic and the views were brilliant too.

I've never had Air be anything but mediocre.

How much was Skyfall just out of curiosity.

I don’t know the reason behind Air removing its 5th seat on each row, but I agree. It just doesn’t seem to have the “umph” anymore!

They were removed during its refurbishment a few years back, I think it was done in order to put less stress on the arm by reducing the weight.
