Which Coaster Gives The Best AIRTIME???

[coneyislandchris]

I think the woman on Texas Giant a few years back would argue that ride has the best air time! ( Too Soon! )

[DILinator]

The coaster that's given me the most intense individual moments of ejector airtime, is without a doubt, Storm Chaser! Absolutely forceful, relentless airtime! El Toro would be a close second in the individual moments department.

 

The coaster with the most total airtime, I'd say is still probably The Voyage, though I don't find it as strong as SC, ET, or even Maverick, in the individual airtime department.

 

Honorable mention to Magnum, which I don't feel is in the top 3 of either airtime, but is in the top 5 for both, and is by far the oldest coaster to be delivering such extravagant airtime!

That joke is in terribly bad taste.

I'm surprised no one mentioned the dive coasters for airtime moments. The first drop on those rides is pretty great.

Outlaw Run and NTaG take the cake. Iron Rattler is pretty good too.

Viper at Wanda Nanchang have some of the best airtime I've experienced. It's not super forceful ejector air like Megalite or Dodonpa but that's definitely one of the highest quality airtime along with Outlaw Run and Maverick.

El Toro gives an insane amount of airtime, especially for a woodie!

[Jason Maier]

El Toro . . . . last car, second row (for me at least)

[ytterbiumanalyst]

El Toro is so good. I also used to think it gives the best airtime...and then a few days later I rode Phoenix.

[gerstlaueringvar]

Can confirm El Toro everything else sucks.

Death Match: El Toro vs Skyrush

[Canobie Coaster]

I want to throw Expedition GeForce into the ring.

 

The airtime is as strong as El Toro's camelbacks, but it has twice as many great airtime hills. I think Skyrush has slightly stronger air, but it's 100% comfortable on GeForce.

Bump. 'Cause someone asked.

You're too kind...

^ Hey it's late (where I am). And everybody makes a mistake, from time to time.

 

BTW, my own Coaster at Playland(PNE) gives some pretty awesome airtime, especially

after the first run around the layout. Then it gets.... some nasty airtime.

Right in the middle is where all the WTF happens. Photo from Joyrides/Joe Schwartz, thanks!

Steel Vengeance. obviously!

Mako at Sea World Orlando has some insane airtime.

[rcjp]

For me it's still Skyrush. And after learning a riding technique which saves me from the terrible pain the ride used to give me it's even more enjoyable!

If you want to be thrown out of your seat wildly non stop, ride Phoenix with your hands up.

I second the vote Vancouver Playland coaster mentioned above -- the restraints when I rode (which was well over 20 years ago) allowed you to almost stand during some of the airtime. Not sure it's the "best airtime" for me, but it's great.

 

Steel Vengeance probably takes my "best airtime" vote, but we are in limerence right now. (El Toro remains close by, as does Superman/ bizarro / whatever the hell it's now called at SFNE).

QFT. Phoenix is my current #1 woodie. Insane airtime. Might drop in next week and marathon it.

Mako at Sea World Orlando has some insane airtime.

I've become a [literal] card-carrying member of the Mako club too. It's so good.

Steel Vengeance

[thrillseeker4552]

Any hill on El Toro or Skyrush takes the cake for me. Totally sustained ejector air that shouldn't be allowed.

 

Oh, and Railblazer. I can't forget about that thing...
