Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

What is the most airtime you have had on a roller coaster

For me it would probably be Magnum XL 200. What about you :?:

El Toro. Significantly stronger air than Magnum and far less painful to ride.

El Toro in the back row, that one upward helix that leads into a drop, major ejector air. Xcelerator in the back row going over the tophat rips you out of your seat. Goliath at SF Over Georgia, every camelback hill on that ride has so much airtime that even if your stapled it feels like you are floating in mid air with no restraint. SUF in the front row has a nice spike of airtime as you enter the pretzel loop. While GCI is not normally known for their coasters being filled with airtime, Evel Knievel has nice pops of air on every hill. Another underrated airtime filled coaster was Big Dipper at Geauga Lake. Cyclops, back row, nuff said.

Cornball Express in the front row is an airtime machine. It was built as a family coaster, but put most coasters to shame in the airtime department.

Can't forget the wonderful Back Row on Raging Bull during the drop.

Hades in the last row. It goes 70 mph over tiny hills and gives you a rush as well as a LARGE amount of airtime.
Last Visit, American Eagle BACKWARDS 5 times in a row right before the park closed. I cannot WAIT to go back for Fright Fest!

When I think of airtime I think of Hades, Raging Bull, American Eagle, Terminator, El Toro and Nitro.

Single scariest moment of airtime: Cyclops at Mt Olympus in the back row. This baby has buzzbars (lots of space between you and the restraint) and goes over that hill at atleast 20mph.

There is a sign that says you must be 18 to ride in the back row.

Other than that, Magnum and El Toro rock.

Phantom's Revenge and Diamondback.

Phantom's Revenge is one of the most under-rated coasters out there.

For Wooden Coasters.

American Eagle and Voyage.

Voyage is nothing short of a religious experience.

Diamonback FRONT ROW does have amazing airtime. Some of the best around. Back row has none though.

-Voyage (at least when it first opened in 05)
-Hades (again, when it first opened)
-Cyclops
-Demon in Car 6
-HellCat (formerly Avalanche)

The ops at Timber Falls are pretty lenient on restraints so thats why I put HellCat on there. Catch that baby in the right weather and you'll have a beautiful experience.

There are so many rides I can think of with a lot of airtime.

Diamondback
Goliath at SFOG
Technical Park Street Fighter
Chance Wipeout flat ride - Best flat ride for me with airtime
Blue Streak at CP
Gemini
Georgia Cyclone
Great American Scream Machine at SFOG

And there are rides you wouldn't even think have airtime (definitely not as much) like

Hydra
Backlot Stunt Coaster
La Vibora
The Mummy / Runaway Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Space Mountain
etc
