CoasterFanatic Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 ^ I didn't really think to much on the steel coasters, but Phantom does have some brutal airtime. Last time I rode it with my girlfriend, so was having trouble keeping her sandles on from her feet flying up in the train. Ride the front row, and you will se exactly what I am talking about
Canobie Fan Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 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 = !
coasterzak Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Out of the coasters I have been on, I think that S:RoS at SFNE tops the steel list, hands down. For wood, I would have to say that Phoenix or Viper at SFGAm.
nemesis-storm Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 For me Megafobia at Oakwood, is high on list for great airtime. http://www.rcdb.com/id756.htm
CoasterEricHP Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 From what I've been on I have to agree with a lot of you.. Steel : Phantom's Revenge. Awesome trains too. Wood : No contest, The Phoenix. Yeah, The Comet at Hersheypark has been killed by those trims for a long time now.
SharkTums Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 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
Bob O Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 My vote for wooden coasters would be Shivering Timbers at Michigans Adventure. The coaster offered massive amounts of air time and the ride ops barely cheked the restraints so it was great!!! As for steel i would vote the last row of raging Bull at SFGAM. Another ride that has great airtime and the ride-ops arent usually too bad on pushing down the restraint.
Jim Disney Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 Based on what I've been on: Xcelerator Superman: The Escape Goliath I really need to get out more...
maliboomer Posted February 25, 2005 Posted February 25, 2005 The airtime on California Screamin' is enough for me.
alpengeistdude321 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 California Screamin and Xcelerator. 8)
ride6 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Cornball Express Ride it late in the day or at night in the back seat... One of lifes greater pleasures. Amazing. The best part is that it has buzz bars so with a bit of slack in the seat belt the airtime is unrestained. I'm a skinny teen however the ride pulled the seatbelt so loose by the end of the ride that I litterally slammed the bar on the bunny hops (final). Unbelievible... Raging Bull's first drop in the back seat is better that MF's first drop period (imo). I was shocked... Blown away... stunned... ride6
MichRollerCoast Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 It's easy, Shivering Timbers. It has the best airtime ever. And it's the wonderful floater airtime that I love. But for Ejector airtime I look to Magnum XL-200 and Jackrabbit at Kennywood. Those are my pics fro best airtime.
Mr.Six Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 When although Superman can give you a 6 second feel of being weightless there really is no ejector airtime on it :? I don't think anyone has said this one yet so I'll say the only good thing about Deja vu is the great airtime on that! Oh yeah!!! But I've gotten the most intense airtime on Goliath at SFMM (Front Seat, hands off, and have the lapbar raised just a little ) Xcelerator and California Screamin isn't bad either!
El Quinte Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 From the one's I allready did: Goliath @ Walibi World, just love it!
socalMAN123 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Colosuss @ SFMM. Ride back row and you'll think your in heaven.
Jordan Shankman Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Jack Rabbit at Kennywood. That double down is insane.
Hattuchili Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 For me it is Colossus in Heide Park. It is my favorite wooden coaster. --Soeren
Homer Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 GASM at SFOG, a little bumpy, but some nice air! Bestest Airtime on my Coaster Count!
Pure Randomness Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 I like CA Screamin and Xcelerator. You get great airtime on both of the first hills after the launch. S: TE didn't give me much airtime when I went on it.
Crazy4Coasters! Posted February 28, 2005 Author Posted February 28, 2005 somehow i feel airtime in Riddler's revenge. I just love the feeling it gives! 8)
coaster1 Posted March 1, 2005 Posted March 1, 2005 Phantom's Revenge or Jack Rabbit ... Wildfire at SDC has some amazing floating airtime in the back left seat .. the seat of doom!
Hilltopper39 Posted March 2, 2005 Posted March 2, 2005 Best SIngle moment of airtime is either Raven's third hill, Goliath's 3rd, or on Storm Runner right before you enter the heartline spin those seection kick @&&. Best over all airtime is Magnum and Apollo's hcariot on steel and Phoenix and Dania beach Hurricaneon wood without a doubt on wood. A good piece of airtime often unnoticed is in the back seat on the Vortex at Kings Island you get launched into the harnesses back there give it a try.
verticalzero Posted October 4, 2005 Posted October 4, 2005 I second "Hattuchili" answer, My fav woodie as well
