scruffy Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 In the 1980's The Racers at Kings Island had alot of airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incinerator Tuesdays Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 From what I've been on, California Screamin' at DCA had that kick-your-butt type of airtime on it... too bad they added trims [sadness]:([/sadness] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musical Pete Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Funny to think Racer has four lift chains too (the large pseudo-parabolic hill is slightly too high and has chains fitted to pull over the trains on occasion, atleast that's evident from any photos I've seen of the hill - a dead giveaway to someone yet to visit PKI is the chain return channels)! Â From personal experience (and something that has become a personal bias!) - older woodies give the best airtime, via circular hills. That's a strict single radius over the top, no hint of nasty parabola. John Miller knew best..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 those aren't chain lifts they are anti-rollbacks, i think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Immel Man Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Racer still had a good deal of air when I rode it a few years ago. It's been my second or third favorite coaster at PKI ever since they castrated Beast in 2002... Â Ghostrider back in the day, Magnum, or Gemini are probably the most air-filled coasters I've ridden.

Musical Pete Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 those aren't chain lifts they are anti-rollbacks, i think? As far as I know, it's both (why else would there be chain return channels corresponding perfectly with the anti-rollback rack? - CI's Thunderbolt had a second chain too, up onto the double-dip hill, but that's never mentioned). Â Now, who's for more circular hill propaganda ? - Magnum has some of the world's best airtime, yet all the hills are circular, apart from the first drop apex, which is a parabolic style multi-radius job. Wasn't that fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaaa -be Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 For me, the most intense airtime I've riden is on a Intamin's MegaCoaster and it's... Expedition GeForce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 Balder has by far the most airtime of all the coasters Ive been on. But I belive that Wild Train @ Erlebnispark Strasswalchen has the strongest, most insane ejector airtime Ive ever experienced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coasterboy76 Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I'm going to have to go along and say Woodies give great air! I have gotten more airtime from them then steel ones.. Â One of my favorite woodies that have some great airtime is Viper at SFGA pictured below.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momo1tx Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 I thought Apollo's Chariot had some good airtime. And I've been on SFA's Superman, Wild One, Thunderhawk, Steel Force, and others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 In my experience, Nitro had the most most enjoyable airtime... Â Haven't been to SFNE, but the other two S:ROSes come close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DATman Posted November 28, 2005 Share Posted November 28, 2005 Apollo's Charriot had great air in both the front and back  Deja Vu in the back has AMAZING air on the first spike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stitch Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Of the coasters I have been on I would say Thunder Run @ SFKK has the most air time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 For me it's Xcelerator with the most airtime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteb Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Phoenix at Knoebels is fun out of control not too rough airtime, much different than Nitro smooth as glass airtime. Although I do remember Lightning Loops (Arrow shuttle) at SFGADV having crazy air you could never prepare yourself for. The flat launch into the drop would just put your stomach in your throat.

coasterboi Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Expedition G-Force whith out a doubt the 2nd Camel Back has the most insane airtime of any coaster But i have a feeling that stealth next year whith the camelack on the return will ave insane airtime but only time will tell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calcajun Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I would think, a coater that drops straight down from start to finish would have the most airtime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo1tx Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 I'd say Wild One at SFA had the most, but overall it wasn't too strong throughout the ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnome Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Morgan/Arrow hyper named Phantom's Revenge. Enough said. You really need to get to more parks if Phantom Revenge is your ride with the most ammount of air time. Sure it has a lot, but I can't imagine it matching some of Intamin's Air Time Machines!
