verticalzero Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 What's the best Fan Turn/Turnround and drop on a coaster where you get slammed into the side of the train and then get "Airtime" from coming out of your seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kroger8 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Georgia Cyclone's 2nd Turn Around and 3rd drop are really good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterfreak101 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Millie's 1st drop and all the overbanked turns were awesome when I rode it!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I love nitro's hammerhead turn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coasterkid20 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I'm going to have to agree with the Geogia Cyclone comment, it isn't that great a coaster but that hills is INSANE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluemen Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 How about wild ones/*giant coaster's* original turnaround before Six Flags killed it? That had air-lats-air--pretty nutty stuff. (anyone else see that as the inspiration for Hades's turnaround?) *edit... mixed up my relocated coasters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Thunderbolt's 3rd Drop into the ravine (after the spaghetti bowl) was pretty good before they completely neutered it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 Ilike mf's drop! and the turnartound on batman-so very intense! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasters 4 me Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I like SheiKra's 2nd drop. If you relax, and you are in the back seat, you come flying out of your seat. Or else it is because I am small! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frozenflames Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The first drop after the turnaround on Rebel Yell in PKD (backwards) had me FLYING out of my seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I love the entry to the final helix on Lisebergsbanan. You got airtime and lateral G-forces at the same time, its fantastic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvcoasterguy Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 American Eagle Backwards, last car. The first drop is totally insane yet totally awesome and airtime-filled. The best turnaround? How about Superman: Ride of Steel's (SFNE) helix of death? It's pretty intense and I think it classifies a a turnaround.

Reon Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 it isnt a high speed turnaround, but vortex's first drop. I can never express how much sweet floater air you get on that thing enough! On a similar note, Cyclops' first and final drops both produce legendary airtime while going down a curving slope so I think they apply... Also, KC just because its packed with so much airtime (and usually going into/out of a turn when doing so) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 One of the best is the drop, turnaround, and drop that starts off tenn. tornado! Jarvis "Dollywood you rock!" Morant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Best turnaround and drop for me is Sheikra's loooooong, slooooow approach turnaround to the first drop and then the drop itself. The coaster ended up being my #2, second only to SFNE's Superman. As far as the most intense turnarounds... a little surprising but there's a wild mouse in Seaside Heights NJ with an unusual non-banked rise-n-fall 180 degree turn which gives you lateral negatives. (weird sideways airtime) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roeterich Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 Defineteley EGF's first drop. It's just so amazing and it's a first drop and kind of a turnaround. Just the best part of any coaster I rode so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterCrazy88 Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 I like many other coaster drops MUCH better than these, but for air time, probably Hi-Miler's second drop (it's bigger than the first) , or Scandia Screamer's first drop. Hi-Miler: www.lonestarthrills.com/gallery/Houston ... himiler002 Screamer: http://www.rcdb.com/ig399.htm?picture=2 Antonio"I hope the links work"G. ACCK! The Hi-Miler pic link does not work. If you want to see Hi-Miler, go to www.lonestarthrills.com then on the left, there is an area that says photo gallery. Click on,"Houston Rodeo". Once there, click on Album: 2004 Houston livestock and rodeo. Then click, Album: Hi-Miler. Antonio"there you go! "G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathmole Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 The drop on the Grand National coming out of the first U turn, sit at the back and it's top notch! In the air and getting thrown to the left at the same time - yummy!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
