IceDragon Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 out of the rides i have done, these are the few that give great bursts of airtime Rattlesnake (CwoA, i end up standing every time we go over a hill) Colossus (TP, massive airtime after the loop and unde the shop! great head chopper!) Nemesis (AT, im surprised for such a small beginning hill it atually goes that fast!) Nemesis Inferno (TP, not as much, but still a decent amount) RQOS (AT, nice first curve into a massive hill filled with airtime. try to keep the bars loose for extra airtime!) Corkxcrew (AT, omg a vekoma with decent airtime??? have the bars as loose as possible. major airtime, especially with loos restraints, its almost scary) Spinball Whizzer (AT, down the first hill and on the overbanks) Oblivion (AT, feels like your flying 0_o) I'm sure ive ridden a kiddie ride filled with airtime...
apollo210 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 I don't know if I said this but here's my list: Yankee Cannonball with heavy floater air with even some ejector! LNM: Great Ejector air on the first drop! Apollo's Chariot: Lots of floater air Canobie Corkscrew: good floater airtime on the first drop Thunderbolt: Double down airtime!
coasterfreak101 Posted November 9, 2006 Posted November 9, 2006 Best Wood: Pure Ejector = El Toro @ AFGAdv Great Ejector/Floater = Wild One @ SFA Best Steel: Ejector Floater Mix = SheiKra @ BGA
Gav Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Ill say Superman Escape at WBMW. Its only got 3 real airtime points but its crazy. The last hill is cool because you get pushed up, but at the same time there is a head chopper from the first hill. Its odd because you get better airtime in the front seat, probably because on the top hat the front car is still going fast as it peaks but by the time the whole train is up there its not going as fast.
bigdaniel Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 My favorite airtime is on Tonnerre de Zeus at Parc Astérix. No EGF, Colossos or Balder are so great like this. Greetings Daniel
easytoremember Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 Definately any batman the ride coaster. where do you get airtime on BTR?
apollo210 Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 ^I was wondering the same thing. Also, do you even go out of your seat on B:TR? THe only inverts that I heard have airtime are DD and that invert at Parque Espana (forget what its called)
easytoremember Posted November 11, 2006 Posted November 11, 2006 ya, on BTR you are pinned to your seat the entire time pretty much.
havenli Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Apollo's Chariot, by far. Especially 3rd or 4th row. And while I don't think the side you sit on determines the amount of actual air time you get, I still think the left side gives the best over-all ride. And I usually say that about most B&Ms. No idea why that is...
coasterfreak101 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I think I might know what he's talking about. When I rode B:TR at SFGAdv in the back-left seat, I got whipped pretty well around those corkies and the barrel roll, giving some slight "airtime", is that's what you want to call it. At least, that's the only time I can think of that you get "airtime" on B:TR!
coasterdude5 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Steel: Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America Wood: Thunderhead at Dollywood
kennywood!007 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 I don't know if I posted yet or not. so heres mine. Wood: Comet (Hersheypark) Jack Rabbit (Kennywood) Steel Phantom's Revenge (Kennywood) Storm Runner (Hersheypark) Double Loop (Geauga Lake) Ok I am crazy for this, but there is mad air going into the helix!
saxman47 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 El Toro - it has stronger airtime than S:ROS sfne........ I really do wanna ride Balder though!
coastermaniac123 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Steel: S:ROS at SFNE Backseat right side or Front Left side. Its just an absolutely amazing ride when you aren't stapled to death. Wood: El Toro was fun, but I have to say the all time classic, Yankee Canonball w/ no seatbelt!!!!!
colossus Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 GOLIATH at sfmm that camel hump is crazy. -Chr!s-O
okinawaboy11 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 From what I've ridden. Superman:RoS (SFA). And Steel Dragons airtime was pretty off the chain also from what I remember. It's been 4 years since I've ridden it but I remember it being airtime filled.
yankees15 Posted November 12, 2006 Posted November 12, 2006 Steel: Storm Runner, Nitro, and Steel Force Wood: El Toro, Wildcat HP, and Thunderhawk DP Overal: El Toro
magnum xl-200 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 balder's crazy airtime that makes you practicly stand up out of the seats. yay! super crazy fun airtime
RaptorBoyASU Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 EL TORO! Amazing, OMGWTFBBQ air. Other great contenders......... Goliath - Netherlands S:ROS - NE Blue Streak at CP (though it was better with the old lap bars) Magnum
Bubba83 Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Apollo's Chariot at Busch Gardens Europe in Williamsburg, Virginia. Many amazing humps, and it's very very smooth and comfortable. As for the best single moment airtime I've experienced? Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California. The really long hump coming out of the 2nd drop is pure sex.
