“Air Race, will take riders on a stomach-churning aerial adventure, turning their world upside down at a height of up to eight metres. Accommodating up to 24 riders at one time in six, four-seater aeroplanes, ‘pilots’ will experience accelerations of almost 4G as they board the acrobatic aeroplane flight.
Riders will take their seat preparing for take-off, gliding from side to side at increasing heights whilst circling around the control tower.

With banks, loops, dives and weightlessness to test even the most experienced thrill seekers, it promises to be the flight of your life.”
