Bubba Z Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Skull Mt. back row first drop Nitro back row, first drop after the mcbr Magnum lap bar mistake and bunny hills = Funniest ride ever. Phoenix DBH Blazing Fury Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Wild Train @ Erlebnispark Strasswalchen has some crazy ejector airtime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 Phoenix - Crazy airtime and speed that just keeps going until you hit the brakes; this ride seems to defy physics. Feels like it could keep going a few thousand more feet of track. Unbelievable at night. Â Nitro- You would fly away if the restraint opened up during the ride. Great dark out and back ride into the woods at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted October 5, 2005 Share Posted October 5, 2005 assuming best does not necessarily mean the same as the most- Cornball Express for me was the best fun airtime, probably tied with Shivering Timbers (but the rides are very different) Â SteveC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShannonSomerville Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 With me,personally,it's a tie between SRoS(SFA) AND Nitro. SES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Another coaster that should be mentioned for great airtime is Timber Terror at Silverwood. It has the perfect combination of great air and short lines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro X 230 Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 S:RoS at Six Flags New England. AIR EVERYWHERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olimonn Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Tonnerre de Zeus, a crazy mix between floater and ejector air! Â And that first drop (back seat) is perfect fun and pleasure! But only air is nice, every time the train turns, it becomes sooo uncomfortable! it definitely needs retracking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfc Posted October 6, 2005 Share Posted October 6, 2005 Back when PGA was still Marriot's Great America, my buddy Jim and I took a ride on the Turn of the Century (which later grew two loops and became the Demon) in the front car. We stretched and relaxed on our way up the lift hill--rather comfortable in front, we thought. Then we plunged down the first hill and shot over the hump--our legs flew in the air and banged against the top of the car. I sure the shocked expression on my face matched Jim's. Absolutely hilarious! Â We rode it again later in one of the middle cars. Some gent in the front car actually lost his toupee! It was flopping around like a big, hairy bat.

Gnome Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 so like which has more Air time, Expedition GeForce or S:ROS? From seeing both POV's S:ROS looks like it has a couple of hills more, but EGF looks like those last hills are intense, and they just hit you one after another, like bam bam bam, where as S:ROS's is more like bam...bam...bam.

Chris Benvenuto Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 PhoenixRaven Jack Rabbit (Kennywood) Â There are many that used to have great airtime but it is now gone. Here is some airtime casualties: Â Beast (2nd hill - gone) Racer Mighty Canadian Mine Buster Bluestreak (Cedar Point) Comet (Hersheypark) Â What are you talking about man? Blue Streak with no air? Aww, FUCK no! Â It still has decent air, i have to say, i'm 210 and still get airtime on it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reality15 Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 Here are my favorite airtime machines: -Phoenix @ Knoebel's (king of airtime, hands down) -Timbers @ Michigan's Adventure -Magnum @ Cedar Point  One that could be good but is over-trimmed: Steel Force @ Dorney  Next year, Voyage, that thing better be on everyone's list in here.

Gnome Posted October 7, 2005 Share Posted October 7, 2005 lets not jump to conclusions, what if its mainly all floater air? Then it might be on some people's lists, and not on others, we'll just wait and see.... :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterman7 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 The back seat of the Georgia Scorcher at SFoG has very good airtime. It has that little straight piece of track and when the train starts to go down, you come out of your seat (or that peg thing). I love it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Apollo's Chariot! Although the first drop on Loch Ness has a pretty good air on the first drop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

errtyme Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Cornball Express for sure. Unexplainable. Â Millennium Force, the first two drops of PowderKeg, Voyage mainly because there is so much of it throughout the ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steel Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Avalanche at Timber Falls. No comparison. And for steel coasters - Magnum at CP gives most, but Mamba at WoF gives the best (the second hill in the back seat is insane). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 This hill on Thundercoaster in the backseat. Its nothing special when the weather is good because it usually goes quite slow at this point, but when its raining its flying over this hill giving the most extreme ejector airtime I have ever felt on a wooden coaster for the riders in the backseat. It can be quite painfull though if you have a few inches of space between you and the restraints because you are taking off like a rocket Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrillrider15 Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 The Wild Thing at Valleyfair! One of the longest airtime zones on the second hill (Superman The Escape holds the record now. I hate that. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
