simon8899 Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 Colossos - Heide Park, the first camelbacks you've over -1 G. Alpina-Bahn - carnival circuit in germany, the first is parabolic hill so you've +/- 0G - very nice
fdelhomez Posted May 3, 2011 Posted May 3, 2011 If I have to make a top 3 : 1] Expedition GeForce 2] ISpeed (the first hill is really intense) 3] Tonerre De Zeus
downunder Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Ditto Balder, and you don't get stapled in like other regions. Phoenix is pretty freaky, it's got the buzz bar and you are just about standing up so much of the ride.
Anthracite Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Wood: El Toro Huge air on the first 2 hills after the drop, and IMHO one of the best airtime moments out there on the hill that passes over Rolling Thunder. Steel: Bizarro at SFNE The third and fourth hills on this ride provide extreme air for 3-4 seconds and several more moments are had in the ride's second course.
typhoon200 Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Colossos - Heide Park, the first camelbacks you've over -1 G. Same here! Love that coaster!!! Verry curious for El Toro this summer!!! From what I read here, it is even better! So I expect so much about this ride!
MayTheGForceBeWithYou Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Lakeside Cyclone in the front seat provides some insane OMFG airtime. Because of the restraints, you have about 6-8 inches of air between you and the seat.
Lamoure Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 1# iSpeed (Mirabilandia) 2# BigFm Expedition GeForce (Holidaypark) 3# Superman (Parque Warner) 1#... Insane Airtime at the top hat and the first camelback, you get punched out the seat.. 2#... I have to say it, it's my homepark and GeForce an awesome ride full of airtime.. 3#... I was really surprised by this one, powerful airtime at the first drop, zero-g, camelback! ..
beatle11 Posted May 30, 2011 Posted May 30, 2011 Behemoth is an airtime monster near the back of the train.
PKI Jizzman Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Diamondback in the front seat. Lonnngggg periods of sustained almost ejector air, and much more airtime. Back seat goes the same way.
chickenbowl Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Diamondback in the front seat. Lonnngggg periods of sustained almost ejector air, and much more airtime. Back seat goes the same way. QFT I loved Diamondback because the airtime was so long, where you felt like it lasted for a few seconds. Maybe some of the most enjoyable airtime I've felt. On the other side of the spectrum is Magnum and Maverick with crazy ejector, which is also very fun and surprising.
Snoopy Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 I'm pretty sure the best airtime moment is on that hill between Tell City and Santa Claus depending on who is driving. However they were reprofiling that so it may be done now. One of the best airtime moments is not discussed enough, I think due to a tunnel. Magnum's third hill in the ejector seat (1-3) is amazing. Other OMG airtime moments include a few hills on Shivering Timbers, the drop on Cyclops, Raven's 5th if you know when to ride, Superman: Ride of Steel (America) on the return hill after the helix, and back seat of Voyage first drop (hands up, look up, and it feels like you just jumped off a cliff). For overall airtime, I would have to give the nod to Hell Cat. Every hill on that rides does what you want. A few pages back someone mentioned Wild One. While an out and back needs a few more airtime spots to get more attention, this ride does have its moments. Back in the buzz bar days, I was riding with my father and we both got launched into the bar on a hill on the return run. We hit it so hard the bar popped open. Both of quickly brought our hands back down and slammed the bar shut. It locked so we figured we fixed it and got back in line for another ride.
StarTrekGeek Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 So I recently visited Carowinds, Kings Dominion, and Cedar Point, and now I have two favorites: Millennium Force and Intimidator 305! Those two are both airtime heaven IMO.
CoasterBeagle Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Diamondback in the front seat. Lonnngggg periods of sustained almost ejector air, and much more airtime. Back seat goes the same way. I beg to differ, I think Intimidator beats Diamondback by a long shot. I rode the front and back of diamondback and didn't get that much air and Diamondback is rough, really shakey.
alpengeist04 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Having been on both Diamondback and Intimidator earlier this year, I have to say it's too close to call on the amount of airtime each coaster has. ...Though I will say Intimidator is a much smoother ride. As for ejector air, the closest any of the US B&M hypers come to that is Goliath at SFOG.
A.J. Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Phoenix at Knoebels. Boing, boing, boing, boing. My bias, I am showing you it again.
krakenmaniac Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Goliath SFOG!! Best coaster in Georgia. A lot of floater airtime on the first few hills, but after the HELIXES OF DEATH the airtime is basically over.
Thunderhead Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Boulder Dash... That last straightaway towards the break-run just flings you at every little bump! Amazing!
andyuk200523 Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 One ride to rule them all........Balder! Every single hill is filled with major ejector air, amazing ride.
chillerfan Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Intimidator 305 when it opened. it hurt your legs there was so much airtime, but they added trimming brakes which made it more mild.
braztaz Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Intimidator 305 when it opened. it hurt your legs there was so much airtime, but they added trimming brakes which made it more mild. Those trims are long gone!
chillerfan Posted July 11, 2011 Posted July 11, 2011 Those trims are long gone! Hey thanks for telling me, I live pretty close, but after I rode it with the trimming brakes I was disappointed so I stopped researching it. Now that they're gone I'll probably go back to ride it!
