Adriel Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 I think it's The Voyage now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djonne Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Which has the most airtime? If you mean in duration, Voyage (a screaming squirrel can be counted as airtime machine? ) If you mean intensity, GeForce of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Djonne Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Intamin Woodies.I think Intamin woodies achieve something like -0.5G (maybe -0.7, but i'm not sure)For GeForce it is -0.8G, almost all your weight held just by the tiny lap bar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adriel Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 So, -0.8G is considered as a big negative G's? OMG! So for these time I was wrong! I always make a coaster in RCT for at least -1.5G's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Since the thread asks what type has the most airtime, I think it's pretty clear that B&M hypercoasters deliver the highest quantity of airtime on their rides. I mean even Raging Bull probably has more airtime than the ROS twins at Darien Lake and SF America. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niiicolaaah Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Do you want to know which has the most intense airtime? The longest duration of airtime? The most occurrences of airtime? *ahem* Balder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Of the coasters I have been on, Balder has the most airtime. When it comes to the most intense airtime, I have to say Wild Train. That coaster has by far the most intense airtime Ive ever experienced. Thundercoaster in the rain is also very intense, especially the little hill where they take your photo in the backseat.

vjgx Posted September 8, 2006 Share Posted September 8, 2006 Any good woodie with old Morgan trains (the ones with the single bar that only goes down to about a foot above your lap)... every bit of airtime is thrilling because it feels like you'll fly out!

VegasCoaster Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 As for coaster with most airtime that would be Voyage as it holds the record and has great airtime (haven't been on an Intamin woodie though so keep that in mind). Had my cell phone get knocked out of the holster while riding due to slamming into the lapbar. As for the best airtime I think Intamin gets that vote as its so smooth yet so forceful, although I like Arrow's ejector I'm going to bruise your thighs airtime too.

havenli Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Of the few I've ridden, Apollo's Chariot had the most airtime. Actually, it was more like "floater-time." Oh, how I loved it. *sigh* :} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry_Gumball Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Good old out and back woodies provide decent airtime...well they do for me. Riding one like Giant Dipper provided some nice butt-slamming airtime over the hills. Unfortunately, I can't say too much as Giant Dipper's probably Nor-Cal's only airtime-loaded woody.

thomas2 Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I had the best airtime on Silver Star so I'd have to say B&M mega's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastakid Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 Either El Toro, or Superman: Ride of Steel SFNE. Superman has more airtime moments, while El Toro's is more intense. It's pretty much a tie for me. So I guess Intamin Plug-and-Play Woodies, and Intamin Hyper... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted September 9, 2006 Share Posted September 9, 2006 I would have to say any ride that's designed to have a lot of air time will have a lot of air time. Grant it, different styled trains are used depending on the type of coaster, but none the less, if they wanted to a B&M stand up could have a whole ton of air time, or a floorless could ect. So it has nothing to do with the type, but rather how its built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy Posted September 10, 2006 Share Posted September 10, 2006 If most airtime means quantity, then long coasters with tons of airtime hills would have the most. The Voyage should have that title for now. When I first rode it back during HoliWood Nights it had tons of air. Some was great and some was just okay. I went back over Labor Day weekend and that ride is a lot faster now. Every element that could possibly have air has very high quality air now and the train just flys for the entire 6,442 feet. It has as much air as you can possibly pack into a coaster that long. The only coaster longer than it with several airtime hills that I can see in pictures is SD2K, but I don't think I will be riding that any time soon to compare. As for The Voyage, it went from the best coaster I had ever been on early this season, to pretty damn close to perfect by the end of the season. I honestly don't know how they could make that ride significantly better at this point and that is the only coaster I have been on that I can say that about.
