Top 10 Individual Moments of Airtime?

[Ben]

6. All of Phoenix's last four hills.

*Fixed :wink:
Unless you catch it on a bad day, your ass is in the air throughout those last four hills.

But we're supposed to pick airtime moments and each hill is a different moment

I could have had 1-10 and just listed the hills on Phoenix tbf.

The added bunny hops on Phantom's Revenge, and of course every hill/drop on Skyrush.

 

[Casio]

1. El Toro - Rolling Thunder hill
2. Goliath (Walibi) - Bunny hop finale
3. Skyrush - Any hill
4. Tonerre de Zeus - First drop
5. El Toro - Opening three hills
6. Fahrenheit - Surprise middle-of-layout hill
7. Phantom's Revenge - Finale
8. Goliath (Walibi) - First hill
9. Megafobia - On ride photo drop
10. Phoenix - Double-down/double-up finale

The strongest after El Toro is Grand National I think, but I wouldn't rate it as 'Top' since I found it so uncomfortable. Similar thing with Wild Mouse, it's like turbulence on a plane; I just got to the point where I was hanging on for dear life and dreading the next drop, not really the point in my opinion

Shock at rainbow magicland had awesome airtime on the first hill after the launch. I also though Ispeed at mirabilandia had good airtime in the back on the top hat and airtime hill after

Not in order, but here are my top 10 airtime moments which I can remember:

Boulder Dash, Lake Compounce - The constant bunny hops on the final stretch of the ride are unforgettable.

Phoenix, Knoebels - My ass was barely in the seat the whole way round, but the double-down into the double-up is particularly memorable.

Cyclops, Mount Olympus - Big ejector airtime down the ride's second main drop; having to be 18 or over to sit in the last two rows on the train says it all.

Viper, Six Flags Great America - Total surprise package with some very nice bumps of airtime throughout the ride.

Balder, Liseberg - Loads of small airtime hills which flow very nicely.

Colossos, Heide Park - Fantastic ride with big, swoopy airtime hills everywhere. I particularly enjoy the noise of the upstop wheels fighting to keep the train on the track.

Wild Mouse, Blackpool Pleasure Beach - Slightly disappointed this year, but a couple of years ago this was giving some big airtime and climbed greatly in my rankings.

Shambhala, PortAventura - Sublime ride with an incredible first drop and plenty more airtime moments. If only the ride was a bit longer would make it absolutely perfect for me.

Raging Bull, Six Flags Great America - One of the best first drops on any rides in the world.

Shock, Rainbow MagicLand - Loved the big airtime hill after the launch.

I've got to add Skyrush's drop in the back - not only is it really strong but the restraints make it feel like you're going to come out, amazing.

 

[caffeine_demon]

^and the feeling as you see how quickly the front of the train disappears is terrifying!!

Skyrush is my new number one!

We all love a good airtime machine and the sensation of being ripped from your seat, but do you have a top ten dedicated to not coasters as a whole, but just the individual moments of airtime on coasters? There could be a coaster out there that you hate except for one fab, fab burst of negative Gs, this thread is that coaster's time to shine!

10. Kentucky Rumbler's drop in the back
9. El Loco's (Adventuredome) drop
8. Thunderhead's drop off of the high turn
7. Maverick's airtime hill
6. Any hill on Behemoth
5. Voyage's final hill before the spaghetti bowl in the back
4. OMG WHAT THE HECK!!!???? crazy standing airtime on Skyrider
3. Entry into Cheetah Hunt's windcatcher in the front
2. Raven's big drop afterthe lake turn in the back
1. Magnum XL-200's final bunny hills in the ejector seat

Has anybody thought about this other than me? Post your top ten bursts of airtime here!

skyrush's first drop.

 

[zazobo]

as another has already said- the inside drop of Saw has a lovely nugget of airtime. Totally unexpected (not just because it's in the dark)

 

[GuyWithAStick]

The first drop on Demon(at least the one in SFGAm) in the back is the least expected airtime moment of any coaster from 1980(or 1976, as the first drop wasn't changed).

2. Maverick's first drop
3. Jack Rabbit's double down
4. Phoenix's airtime hills, no specific one
5. Skyrush's first drop in the back
6. Any of Behemoth's airtime hills
7. Fury 325's first drop
8. El Toro's ejector hill
9. Wicked Cyclone's first airtime hill and double down
10. Voyage's double down before they messed with the brakes

I can't really pick top 10, but I rode Magnum trimless at an ERT event in 2006, and it was the most amazing airtime I've ever experienced. The bunny hills near the end gave so much airtime that it hurt my thighs. I think Toro is second for me, but it isn't even close. Every time I've gone back to CP I've hoped that the trims were open, but it hasn't happened since.

1. Helix, both airtime hills near Lisebergbanan's lift (going over and under the lift)
2. Junker's tophat
3. Expedition GeForce, first drop and first airtime hill
4. Piraten's 2nd twist hill
5. Thundercoaster's 2nd drop
6. Balder's first drop in the back
7. Thunderbird's (PowerPark) end after opening (it has become a bit sluggish during years)
8. Tornado (Bakken) first drop after the launch lift hill that tries to kill you. But I liked the strong G's the ride has including the violent ejection that happens in the first drop
9. ZacSpins' first 'drop' (the little U-turn where the car changes direction)
10. I guess Silver Star but it's been so long that I can barely remember

Both Double Drops on Grand National, every drop on Wild Mouse, and the first drop sitting in the front seat of Revolution at BPB. Such a powerful launch into a small drop, very good.
