TheStig Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 I hate to say it, but Corkscrew at Cedar Point has KILLER airtime on that little bunny hill after the drop. And besides that, SheiKra, Goliath (SFOG) and Cyclops all have REALLY good airtime. Colin C
kingdanny Posted May 21, 2006 Posted May 21, 2006 Umm what airtime is to be had on GASM at SFOG? I had a highbar slacked belt and backseat ride.. I came off the seat maybe 2 times... I dont see how its an "air time machine".... SROS and Cyclone both at SFNE have some great pops of air.. Cyclones backseat on the first drop = ! GASM has LOADS of air time. On every drop, I go flying out of my seat even with a tight seatbelt. You must have gone on a bad day. I have never had a bad ride on GASM
asr Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Cyclone at SFNE hands down has the most extreme airtime I have ever expierenced. Espiecally over this hill (its the one you can see going over the turn before the lift hill, at the top of the picture. Honurable mention goes to S:ROS SFNE (those camelbacks on the return trip are awesome), Thunderbolt at SFNE (the last few dips and bunny hops before the curve into the final brake run give great ejector air), and Nitro at SFGAdv (great floater air, and some nice ejector air on the last few bunny hops from what I remember). Also, Zero-G rolls on floorless coasters give great floater airtime, and Millenium Force's first drop had some nice airtime from what I remember (MF was my first major coaster, and I was scared to death on it, and thus don't remember much of it).
niiicolaaah Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Balder at Liseberg Air on EVERY hill. Sometimes all the way down the drop.
coasterbilly Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Floater=Nitro Ejector=El Toro and Superman: Ride of Steel (all 3 in their own ways)
coaster_maniac Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 comin' to this topic a bit late.. but whatever! My favorites for airtime would be: VOYAGE! (holy freakin' CRAP that ride gives amazing airtime) Viper @ SFGAM Magnum Nitro Cornball Express (and yes, I'm going to agree with colincoon--) Corkscrew @ CP! Weird, huh?
sfne2005 Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 Balder at Liseberg Air on EVERY hill. Sometimes all the way down the drop. Prior to the TPR UK Trip I would have said SRoS @ SFNE, but not anymore! Balder rules all.
Jon Sabo Posted June 22, 2006 Posted June 22, 2006 This is my baby: I love the airtime on it... This is a close second: Elissa "it's weird cause they're both such different rides!" Alvey I have to laugh at the second pic because (sorry) Elissa's hair looks like a beard..lol But, that IS some good air time, indeed! **I would add my two: 1. Apollo's "Fabio Bird-Express" Chariot. The overall experience of airtime and that last drop still gets me (even when you know its coming). 2. Loch Ness-first drop. A classic! I recall back in our ride testing days (before opening season) we used to convince the managers to ride with us. Little did they know why I was holding a cup of cold water *grin*. Well, once you go down the first drop, you turn the cup upside down and watch how long the water will stay in the cup. Well, they (managers) thought that was a cool "trick" (thanks Einstein..lol). So, on the second run I would do the same thing, but hold it just long enough to where the water would come out and get everyone in the car wet (and in the next car as well)...hehehe They didn't like that very much.
Jordan Shankman Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Of the coasters i've been on... Some of the best would be S:RoS @ SFNE, Goliath @ SFOG, and Magnum XL200.
WillMontu Posted June 23, 2006 Posted June 23, 2006 Balder of course. It even makes a cool farting noise as it rides the upstops over every hill Thunder Coaster at Tusenfyrd (I never knew a Vekoma could be so good) Goliath at SFOG
woah_killa Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 SFOG Goliath has awesome floater air! If Georgia Cyclone was smooth and they let off those trims...the backseat would be AWESOME!
thomas2 Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Silver Star also has very good airtime. Others: the hill after the cobraroll of Superman - AdA and Weerwolf
easytoremember Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Cyclops has the best spot of airtime on any coaster I have been on. Best overall airtime on a coaster would have to be Voyage, SROS(SFNE), Goliath, Georgia Cyclone, and Avalanche in no particular order.
PKI Jizzman Posted November 8, 2006 Posted November 8, 2006 Anyride at Cedar Point.... PKI - Vortex and Racer and SOB...and Top Gun!....posible on beast and IJST Carowinds - Thunder road, TG:TJC....hurler.... Dollywood - Thunderhead, TT
willski Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Of the ones I have been on (in order): Goliath (SFoG) Shivering Timbers (at night after a hot summer day is ridiculous) tie-Apollo's Chariot tie-Goliath (WW) Georgia Cyclone (trimless on the one day it runs that way....drools) Magnum (but that doesn't mean I like the ride....ugh) Hopefully I can add to that list with Voyage and perhaps some other coasters next year.
Almost Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 El Toro for Ejector wood. S:RoS (SFNE) for ejector steel. Nitro for Floater steel Lightning Racer for floater wood.
music11 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I would have to say S:ROS @ SFNE and Boulderdash on some hills.
NitroRider Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 El Toro Nitro WILD One (It is super wild, even the its turning 90 next season) S:ROS SFA Roar SFA
