Superbatboy Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 6th hill on El Toro Tophat on Kingda Ka Bunny hills on Magnum All the hills on Maverick
ioio Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 * the first inside raven turn after the drop on X2, that whole section is all butterflies for me! <3
Kyle Coleman Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Phoenix, el toro, skyrush(all of it completely nuts) and of course the triple down on the voyage.
silenthillXD Posted February 28, 2015 Posted February 28, 2015 Considering there isn't much airtime in the UK, the standouts have to be: Megafobia (Oakwood) - The entire first drop provides insane airtime in the back row and Grand National (Pleasure Beach Blackpool) - The double down on this ride is pretty intense too and is a great start to a layout pretty full of airtime (by UK standards) Oh and if drop towers count, Detonator (Thorpe Park) - Got to love the Fabbri Towers, their drops are just incredible, providing airtime that I would argue is even better than the Intamin's/S&S's that I have been on.
Paradox Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 All of Boulder Dash especially that triple up at the end, that part is just pure genius!
willthegolfer Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Raging Bull 1st drop, back row SfGam Goliath's airtime hill American Eagle Red's drop out of the helix back row Viper's double down back row Cheetah Hunt airtime hill
Running_Buddy Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Back seat of Cyclops, Mt. Olympus in Wisconsin Dells. The drop off the side of the hill. There's good reason people under 18 can't sit in the back!
Canobie Coaster Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 For the top single moment, I have to go with the Jack Rabbit's double dip. I was expecting it to be great, but it still blew me away. I also love the airtime on Phoenix, Boulder Dash, the Coney Island Cyclone, El Toro, and SkyRush.
Geauga Dog Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Raging Bull's first drop in the back seat Voyage's triple down Conneaut's Blue Streak's first two hills in the back seat - it's a stand-up coaster! Kennywood's Jack Rabbit double down and Phantom's Revenge's bunny hops next to the station Larson Super Shot drop towers like X Scream at Waldameer Maverick's first drop and the hill before the horseshoe turn/inversions
I305forever Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 3rd hill on SROS at SFA Everything on Skyrush First drop Griffon Everything on Wild One
Cullvion Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 The airtime hills on El Toro, very last row. E-jec-ted.
Nrthwnd Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 The last two bunny hops on Coaster at Playland (PNE). Honestly? If you ride it right, you can literally stand UP in the car at the top of each hop, and the forces keep you in place and shove you back down when you hit the bottom of the hops. It's some of the most extreme air time in any small wooden coaster I have been on, overseas and locally. So I edit out that first remark, with the Entire Coaster for OMfG AirTime! And this coaster still proves you are totally safe on a coaster, without seat belts and/or shoulder restraints. Old photo - but the Coaster remains as amped up, as ever. (o:
Comeagain? Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Just before catching on the tower of a GIB with a loose harness. The bunny hops between Tremors' tunnels.
Cmbgo12 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 ^^Whoa, the cars on that coaster are sick... Just now realized they are in fact NOT Millennium Flyers. Anyways, my vote for favorite moment of airtime on a coaster goes to the first drop on Fahrenheit in the back row of the third car... Its absolutely insane, even if the rest of the coaster is kinda meh . In number two is Diamondback, all of it. I absolutely love that ride.
mike541x Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Skyrush wins this thread for me. The airtime going over the lift was insane, especially in the last row. Honorable mention, Wild One at SFA.
gerstlaueringvar Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Maverick first drop Outlaw Run first drop and wave turn Mega-Lite final bunny hops Cyclops Drop-O-Death Parrot Coaster first drop Fabbri drop tower Wild West Mine Train first drop and second drop Magnum final hills
tarheel1231 Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 I love Hurler's first drop. It's a really good "oh crap" moment, and it has the best airtime on a coaster at Carowinds. The rest of the ride in meh.
rcjp Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Skyrush wins this thread for me. The airtime going over the lift was insane, especially in the last row. And it's quite unexpected on your first ride, so even better!
CanobieFan Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 El Toro in the backseat gives some magnificent airtime. Had to push the lapbar further down during the ride. Cyclone at SFNE's old first drop had massive airtime, to the point you thought you were going to be thrown out. My first time with that I thought I was gonna fly over the turn over the first drop. Yankee Cannonball at Canobie Lake Park has some insane airtime. For going 35 MPH and 63 feet high, the airtime is unforgettable. 2nd small drop is great. Skyrush- first drop back seat is a horrifying drop.
larrygator Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Cyclone at SFNE's old first drop had massive airtime, to the point you thought you were going to be thrown out. My first time with that I thought I was gonna fly over the turn over the first drop. Yes the original first drop provided massive airtime. But it was re-profiled in 2001 and based on your profile you were 2 years old at that time. You must have been a big infant with an incredible memory.

I meant to say the wooden version, the new drop I was referring to was Wicked Cyclones.
Khat26 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 ^ I didn't think that was open yet. You should do a ride review of it.
beenagins87 Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Raging Bull 1st drop, back rowSfGam Goliath's airtime hill American Eagle Red's drop out of the helix back row Viper's double down back row Cheetah Hunt airtime hill Raging Bull does have an amazing first drop, which make the fact that the ride pretty much dies after that all the more disappointing.
woolandmammoth Posted March 2, 2015 Posted March 2, 2015 Im sures its been said 100 times, but El Toro takes the cake on airtime. Its non-stop ejector that is sustained like floater. Not to mention there are at least 6 major points of ejector. Honorable mentioms go to Magnum's return run, Skyrush, Maverick, and Skull Mountain. Skully's first drop in the last row is a GREAT pop of air.
