fatdaddy Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 My local favorite is Scandia Screamer, actually thought i was gonna shoot outta the seat last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagiMountainMan Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I would have to say El Toro is number one. It still remains the only reason why I would go back to SFGADV. As far as steel coasters, Diamondback #1 for overall airtime. Some coasters, like maverick may have certain instances of great airtime but Diamondback is nothing but air. Better than Nitro for sure and just edges out Goliath at SFOG. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerrykoala2112 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Magnum in the front. (Although it's painful, nothing can beat it!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davisal771 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 For me it would be Sidewinder at Elitch Gardens. Granted I've been to magic mountain that was 4-5 years ago I don't remember much (airtime wise) on Goliath and S:TE... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xChris125x Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Most intense airtime - Phantom's Revenge hands down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XII Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 For me, nothing has as much airtime as Coaster @ PNE Playland. Â Â Honorable mentions go to Jackrabbit, Phantoms Revenge, Comet @ Great Escape, Magnum XL 200, and Phoinex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skycoastin Steve Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Best moments of airtime I can think of (in no particular order): Â Back row of the double down on Jack Rabbit. Â The 2nd hill on the final run of bunny hills in the ejector seat of Magnum. Â The Rolling Thunder hill on El Toro, doesn't matter where you sit. Â Pick your moment on Voyage, but the hill just after the triple down after you leave the tunnel is insane! Â Maverick's first airtime hill. Â Back row of Apollo on the first drop and the final ravine drop. Â Back row on MF's first drop. Â Back row on 305's first drop. Â Back row on Rampage's first drop.

Guest Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Knoebels Phoenix! Â With no seat beats, a very generous lapbar, and all those dips...wow! Â Ride in the 3rd seat back for the best airtime!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Brandon_ Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Wood: Definately El Toro  Steel: The drop on KingDa Ka in the front row has airtime the whole ride down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenspandan Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Jack Rabbit at Kennywood is a good answer. Â But I would have to say without a doubt, the best and most intense moment of airtime i've ever experienced was on Intimidator 305 on opening day in the back row. first drop. it flew over that initial apex faster than millenium force, totally throwing you up out of your seat before plunging you 300 feet (almost) straight down.

CorkscrewFoley Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I haven't had alot of coasters to my belt with some insane airtime, but Phantom's Revenge was one, Jack Rabbit in the backseat (my first encounter with standing air), Gemini has standing air on the pullover in the last car last seat, and you hear so much crap about Villain, but I had some oh crap air on there too...

generaleclectic Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 My experiences are kinda limited compared to some of my friends on here. As far as the coasters that I've had an opportunity to ride, I'd have to say that Boulder Dash @ Lake Compounce gave the best "wood air" since GCI re-profiled the ride. Thunderhead at Dollywood comes close. If El Toro was a TRUE Wood, it would probably be her, but I feel like I'm doing my personal romance with woodies a disservice by including El in much of any analysis. Â Up through this last weekend, I was sold on the idea that, out of the ones that I've experienced, Goliath at SFOG gave the best air. NOW... I have to say that I have a total love affair with Intimidator at Carowinds. I thought that during East Coast 2008 that Nitro would have really have impressed me more than it did, but I'm glad that I didn't end up having to choose between three.

imawesome1124 Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Most consistent airtime for me is Apollo's Chariot. Â Most intense moment of airtime is Fahrenheight's last bunny hill, INSANE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RollingRunner Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 The best airtime i've ever experienced is probably on Nitro at SFGAdv, especially on the hill after the hammerhead. As for wood, i'm going to be in an obscure minority here and say The Wild One at SFA has most enjoyable airtime. The hill after the first drop and the double up/double down has some intense "out-of-your-seat" action. Phoenix at Knoebels ties for me since it has some crazy pop-up moments, plus the fact it's just a buzzbar makes it better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
