I don't think it looks too great. It looks good, but not great. Sorry, but I'm a person who looks for height in roller coasters.(If you look at my favorite coasters in my signature, it's a proven fact) I just don't see this concept delivering that great of thrills, but I can be wrong. I guess I shouldn't judge something without even riding on it.
My Top 5 coasters:1)Top Thrill Dragster 2)Millennium Force 3) Raging Bull 4)Deja Vu 5)V2

Go ahead and judge the idea. It's fair to do that, nobody has been on one, because none exist. I myself think it's stupid looking, and I don't think wany park would waste money on it. With all of the prototypes from known companies, I don't see why any park would go for an upstart company's ride than a proven company's.

Yeah that thing doesn't look to appealing. Whats so "concept" about it? Its a raised single car train, in my opinion it wouldn't add any extra thrill or anything.

Well it can change into a 4D coaster and what not. Thats pretty cool. I mean it doesnt look as if it would be all that thrilling but you never know.

I think it looks similiar to the arrow suspended coasters only in this case there are different axis of movements. probably end up being a kiddie type ride, which are needed, as much as we like new fastest and tallest coasters, there need to be family rides. I'd ride it, but I wouldn't travel to a park JUST to ride it.
you can't believe it - you didn't mean it
but they saw you do it and they know your name

AIR already exists, though. SFGAm has their own arial inversion ride, along with 3 other parks! Doesn't anyone come up with creative names anymore? :lol:

Thanks for fixing the link, Project Air doesn't exist, besides in models. What is a creative name then?

I'm a fan of real coasters. These fake thrill rides just won't cut it for me. Give me real speed, real height and real launches.

I agree coasterzak. A coaster is supposed to make your stomach drop, and frighten you. How is that thing going to satisfy what we're looking for on a thrill ride?
