Refresh for Air & Food Loop Restaurant

Alton Towers is making improvements to Air and will add a Food Loop Rollercoaster Restaurant for the 2016 season.

Plans for Air include walls to enclose the station area and create pre-ride sections, a mid-queue photo opportunity, and 2 new themed elements for the ride. The Air Shop will be moving and an unusual new restaurant will be created.

One of the new themed ride elements will be immediately before the lift ramp after the tunnel, forming a hole for the train to pass through. The other will be located in the plaza area. Above the station, the existing shop will be moved to a new extension on one side of the building, making room for the new Rollercoaster Restaurant, and another extension on the other side of the building will accommodate the kitchens and toilets.

There are currently 8 of these restaurants in the world, one of which is called Food Loop and is located at Europa Park, the largest theme park in Germany. Tables have touch screens with which you can order food and drinks. A lift system transports food and drink up to tracks which then deliver them to the tables.

There will be a press conference at London's Science Museum on 12th January but in the meantime keep an eye on www.altontowers.com/2016
