What is Airtime? | Pleasure Beach Resort

Ever wondered why your stomach disappears at the top of a ride? That feeling has a name, and we've got the science to prove it. We put an accelerometer on Aviktas, the UK's tallest gyro swing, and recorded every single G-force across the entire ride. The results? 19 seconds of near-weightlessness. A peak of 4.54G at the bottom of the swing. And two back-to-back moments of virtually zero gravity, 138 feet in the air. In this video we break down exactly what airtime is, how it works, and why it feels the way it does, using real data from a real ride. We also take a look at some of Pleasure Beach Resort's other iconic airtime machines. 🎟️ Try Aviktas for yourself and book your visit: pleasurebeachresort.com #Aviktas #Blackpool #Airtime #ThemePark #Science #PleasureBeach #Gyroswing #RollerCoaster
