What Type of Rollercoaster Has the Most Airtime?

[Adriel]

I think it's The Voyage now.

[Djonne]

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!

[coasterguy618]

Intamin Woodies.

[Djonne]

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

[Adriel]

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.

Where did you get that info?

[ParkTrips]

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.

[niiicolaaah]

Do you want to know which has the most intense airtime?

 

The longest duration of airtime?

 

The most occurrences of airtime? *ahem* Balder

 

[viking86]

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.

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]

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.

From what I've heard, Intamin woodies pull around -1.6 g-forces not -0.5, that's like weak floater airtime.

[havenli]

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* :}

[Angry_Gumball]

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.

Ghosrider back in the old days in the backseat!

[major bummer]

B&M hypers all the way

 

some woodys

 

some B&M inverted

[matteocrepaldi]

I agree with B&M hypers. Also some intamin hypers have a great amount of airtime!

[kingdanny]

Wooden coasters with buzz bars.

 

I think so also.

[GURZU]

B&M Megacoasters (SFOG-Goliath) and woodies (Voyage and El Toro)

[thomas2]

I had the best airtime on Silver Star so I'd have to say B&M mega's

[coastakid]

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...

[Gnome]

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.

[Snoopy]

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.

Nitro is filled with Airitme.

 

Either Nitro or El Toro

[mark.w]

B&M hypers - floater air

Intamin - ejector air

 

I prefer Intamin. Goliath and EGF.
