Air or Atlantis?

Which will YOU ride first?

(Me, I'll be taking a week-long road trip in april 2002, hitting Thorpe first, then moving on to AT...):cool:

I would go to whatever one is farther away, then go to the closer one.

Even though I won't be able to ride either coaster anytime soon, I'd choose AIR because it seems more innovative. I mean it's the first B&M flying coaster, so I wanna know what that's gonna be like. Atlantis is pretty cool because it has a lot of inversions.

If they both open at the same time, i'd have to say AIR. But Atlantis could be a fantastic coaster with great theming (don't forget, JW is working on BOTH of them!), and as it's nearer it might just get a weekend trip before AIR at easter break.

Well, Air is opening First as this will open March 16th 2002, I will be doing Air First because I will definatly be up at Alton on the first day of the 2002 Season, I might even go on the Saturday and Sunday if I can.
As for the opening for Atlantis, I think its the first Saturday in April so it will be April 6th 2002(This is not confirmed though, you will have to check nearer the time) I will definatly be at Thorpe for its grand opening and will do my best to make sure I will be the First Public Rider on the Ride;) I will have a season pass, so I will be able to glide pass the queues waiting for tickets, LOL

I cant wait for 2002 to come, Dont forget, we also get a Revamped Vampire at Chessington which should be good:)

I'll be on Air too on opening day even though I only live 25 miles from TP.

Is anyone going on one of the Nemesis Winter Weekend packages at the AT hotel? Will they be running this year?
The lucky people there will probably see the finished ride & even testing well before the rest of us.....LUCKY BLIGHTERS!!!!!
