@@xxv0ide5xx88 I can't confirm or deny that as I haven't been on I232 yet but it'd be tough to beat Bull. RB gets hat for "not having airtime" but it has plenty of air, and decently strong air at that. I'm confident saying that RB's drop at least is better tho.
It went over that hill so quickly, it doesn't really matter what seat you ride because you get the same great air time, don't even get me started with the first drop
Thanks for giving my home park(Six Flags Great America) some love! Most coaster enthusiasts hate Raging Bull. It just turned 20 this year, and it still packs a punch
People hate it? My home park is six flags St Louis and I went to great America for vacation twice and raging bull is still more fun than Goliath but god Goliath was lit asf first Ride unforgettable just over as fast as the Mr freeze😂
I love raging bull’s first drop and all of the airtime on el toro, but nothing compares to the second drop on the boss. The first time you ride the boss, make sure it’s a night ride in the back. Trust me the second drop will catch you off guard.
The most surprising airtime moment I have ever experienced was on the Jack Rabbit at Kennywood. The first half of the ride is like a kiddie woodie. Once you hit the double down though, you are just launched out of your seat. I have been on many great airtime coasters, but I have not experienced a single pop of air that amazing.
Kennywood is my home park. Jack Rabbit was even crazier before they put in the seatbelts in 2004. Just the stationary bar, and an old leather strap with some steel rings, and basically a keychain clip to keep it loosely around your waist.
4Chan they seem like a fine design but every time you go over an air time hill the restraints dig into your legs. My fiancé and I both had bruises on our legs from them.
Edit: currently editing the blur at the end and getting rid of the random blur at the beginning 😳 thanks for your patience during these technical difficulties Thank you to the 3 people who pointed out the issue with the Toro picture, the blur is now in place. 👍
You’re absolutely right about that outward bank on Steel Vengeance. The entire ride is a highlight reel, but the bank is simply amazing. Steel Vengeance offers so much airtime that you almost forget there’s a seat under you. Out of curiousity, have you ridden Voyage at Holiday World?? It’s an airy ride as well, almost 25 seconds worth.
Mine: Revolutions first drop on the back row: blackpool pleasure beach, this rollercoaster is underrated Icon’s barrel roll before the second launch El Toro’s camelback and first drop Steel Vengenaces outer bank
Haven't been able to ride mamy coasters, my home state was a roller coaster desert, literally, Arizona. I mainly rode wild mouse costers at the state fair. When we finally moved to Ohio my hubby and I went to Ceder Point.He had more coaster cred than I, his home park was Busch Gardens Williamsberg. So we both got to expiriance two costers we had never heard of. Valraven, and Maveick. They are our two top faves for now. The hubby and I had no idea what an Intamin Blitz coster was. That first 95° drop was my favorite ejector time :D we got seats in the back. It was amazing! Both drops on Valraven were awsome as well. Again, we had NO idea what a dive coster was. (I had told the hubby about B&M) I think my stomach is still at the top of that first drop, lol. Dive and Blitz costers are my fave for now. We didn't get a chance to ride Steele Vengence, wait time was waaaaayyyyy too long, pluse the hubby has an aversion to anything resembling a wooden coaster. After getting mugged by Apocalypse. XD He seriously hates em all. This year, we're doing King's Island, and I convinced him to ride Beast with me. :) Hopefully he'll have a smooth ride. Small question. Which part of the train gives the best ride on Beast, for someone who seriously loaths woddies?
Raging Bull is at my home park and I can't thank you enough for the rating and the back seat recommendation. I got rides yesterday following your advice, the back seat is a revelation! It's a completely different roller coaster from second last row to back row. The air time is so much more pronounced throughout and the first drop.... yeah... Oh yeah!!! I'm enjoying your content quite a bit! Thanks for your shout to the Bull which doesn't get the love it deserves.
I went on Ghost Rider in the back seat twice last time I went to Knott's and can confirm that the airtime on this ride is spectacular! I especially love the second hill after the first drop for its floater airtime.
Nice video! My favourite airtime moment is the long ejector hill before the turnaround on Magnum. In all the rows it’s floater, except for row 3, which you just get launched out of your seat and you’re just standing for a long time. My second favourite is the outerbanked turn on Steel Vengeance. Good list though!
I love Ghostrider, just rode it twice today and haven't rode it in years! I never really understood what airtime was or felt and boy I was taking advantage of getting airtime on coasters including Ghostrider.
The last few hills on Comet at Hersheypark give some CRAZY airtime in the back row. at that point in the ride I just get lifted up about 2 inches off the seat on every one of the hills!
At the adventuredome if you go on disko you get sometimes get crazy airtime. Also the corkscrew on canyon blaster if you sit in the back you feel like you are standing up! The entire ride is full of airtime moments
Watched this video 2 years ago, shocked to see el toro get so many moments here. I finally got on el toro just before the derailing incident, and WOW am I glad to have ridden it, with friends too! Will never forget it and hope to get more rides with my friends next year, we all wanna go back (we may also go to do the supporting rides later this year while el toro is closed just if we can’t wait 😝 )
Came back to rewatch this after experiencing SteVe, and holy mother that outer banked hill is unlike anything I have ever experienced. I was in the front seat and it still felt like the airtime lasted for a week on that element. Needless to say, I agree with your assessment 😂
I feel as if Skyrush’s bunny hop before the break run is some of the best ejector I’ve ever gotten, it’s so abrupt and unexpected and it was for sure my favorite element on Skyrush just because of its insane airtime.
For me, it's hard to make a list of top airtime moments cause once you hit a certain level, they kinda all feel the same. But I loved the airtime moments of TC, IR, and ET.
Great list! Screamin eagle at my home park has amazing airtime especially on the rides 3rd hill. It’s 3rd hills drop is larger then the first drop by 4 feet because of the terrain.
That Rolling Thunder hill caught me by surprise! I heard about it, but was looking a little more forward to the first giant hills, however I overlooked the best part of the ride! Glad you included it, very much deserving! Love the list brotha 👍🤘
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh Airtime vids. This is a great one! Love Twisted Timbers! Love El Toro! El Toro was my favorite coaster for years until I rode I305. That thing is just plain nasty. But I digress... This is the year I plan to get on Steel Vengeance AND Mako. I just can't wait to feel these elements that you're mentioning here. You've done a great job whetting my appetite with this vid. It's gonna be a GREAT year! First order of business though??? PANTHEON and the Top Hat of the Gods!
I haven't been to many parks, but my favorite moment is the double down on Kennywood's Jack Rabbit. It is just as strong as the Phantom's, except it's surprisingly more than 80 years older.
Also gotta show love to Mavericks airtime hill after the twists through the rock work, and after the second launch when the trims are off on the ride. When the trims are off after the 2nd launch, that hill into the banking right turn drop is insane.
New Texas Giant's first drop is my favorite airtime moment. The first time I rode it, it kinda freaked me out a bit. I feel like I'm flying down that drop. I love it.
I have ridden 117 coasters and the best airtime I had is from a coaster that no longer exists, The Big Dipper at Geauga built by John Miller. The coaster would cause butterflies and MAKE you Love it! They just don't build them like they used to.
I recently was able to revisit my home park (Fiesta Texas) for the first time in a while with my brother. It's been several years since we went on coasters together. I found it hilarious when my brother's least favorite moments on the Rattler were the airtime moments. My brother doesn't like Airtime. The thing most enthusiasts claim to be the best part of the ride. We had a blast! Thanks to some really kind souls giving up their spots we managed to get a back row ride before heading out- it was my first time in the back and my goodness does that final drop off the quarry pack a punch from there! I could ride the Iron Rattler all day long. Good thing the line isn't usually too bad! Also, thanks for your recommendations for the must-do coasters at Over Texas! We had a great time and managed to get on all of the coasters except the clones (Batman, Joker). Most of the lines were pretty short except Mr. Freeze, New Texas Giant, Runaway Mountain, and La Vibora (those really roomy restraints were... something!). It took some convincing to get my brother on Mr. Freeze at first but it came out as the favorite of the day. Had to go for a second run right before closing! Did back and front rows on that- such a great ride! Clever method of running two trains, too! I might have a few hours for Magic Mountain in August... but not a whole day. Maybe I can sneak a ride on Twisted Colossus at the very least!
Gotta love El Toro, of course. But for a while, Fiesta Texas was my home park, and that included the last days of the Rattler and the first of the conversion into the Iron Rattler. I remember going on the back row right after it opened, no real expectations yet (since RMC conversions were extremely new at this point and I hadn't tried out the New Texas Giant because of the horrendously rough rides I'd had on the original in the past keeping me away). That cliff dive made my heart leap, and to this day it's about my favorite coaster moment. (Well, maybe second favorite-- I somehow made it onto the Hulk without knowing how it started, and that was an incredible, supremely fun shock.)
If Mako isn't your favorite B&M hyper in the US, what could your favorite be? Also found it cool you had Wildfire at Silver Dollar City on the honorable mentions.. With SDC as my home park, I've ridden that more than any other roller coaster in the world, and every time I sit in the back I do get some great airtime, and it's just awesome. Very neat that Wildfire made the honorable mentions. Great video, very much enjoyed it.
I haven't gotten to visit any parks outside the Southern California area, but my 3 favorites I've experienced would be that sudden drop after the double up on the blue side of Twisted Colossus, the camelback on the blue side of Twisted Colossus, and the 5th drop of GhostRider in the back row. The blue side of Twisted Colossus is so damn good.
Exactly, the green side is great too, just feels a bit underwhelming after coming off the blue side. Even though that hangtime on the top gun stall is probably my favorite moment on the ride, the blue side is just better as a whole.
I find Behemoth's airttime after the first drop to be one of my favourites. Talk about sustained air. It's one of the few drops that still gives me butterflies (it's pure giddiness for me).
My favorite airtime moment is Cannibal's first drop. It has some very intense ejector, and occasionally, you can get a trimless ride on it, and the airtime on the drop is even more intense!
@@AirtimeThrills The ride is crazy enough with trims, but without? You are whipped over that drop, and it feels like you are experiencing -2 g's! Even though -2 g's may sound amazing, it can be painful (especially if you're a dude). They usually run it like that during the first bit of the season, when it's colder outside.
Great vid. I just rode El Toro again last week and it was a little rougher than I remember it. It was a cool and rainy day so maybe that had something to do with it. The cool thing was this was my first ride on it after watching @eltororyan El toro breakdown vid so I was able to really understand some of the elements. That first drop is truly special. I almost feel as if there is a second pop of ejector at the very bottom of the hill somehow. I popped up higher from my already floating status and it was surprising. The second thing I'll mention about those friggin camel backs is that you can actually hear the wheels leaving the track at the top. It's unreal and so incredibly cool. That "intamin fart" sound was something that slipped by me before I heard the explanation on what it is. El Toro is just crazy and I love it to death. Spent the afternoon Marathoning Griffin at BGW yesterday and was surprised not to see that drop on the list. From the back row of that ride (the row that avoids the hang time) you get a sustained floater the entire way down the drop. It's truly exceptional.
Yes, Wildfire also gave me awesome airtime in the back on the drop. Having just experienced El Toro the last few days, I totally get all that you said about it! The rolling thunder hill was my favorite moment of the 4. I was quite surprised by Superman Ride of Steel at SFA last Friday, with the hill after the weird straight-track section. I am literally bruised from that crazy ejector hill after 10 rides on it that day. Of course, I agree with you on Iron Rattler, and on Makos hill, which for me was even crazier in the front: sustained ejector with my eyeballs at the top of my skull. But my #1 is also that hill on SV.
Georgia Scorcher, despite being a standup, actually has PLENTY of airtime to offer. There is a mini wave turn midway into the ride, and my feet were simply LAUNCHED into the air. It was literally sustained ejector on a STANDUP.
Wonderful video. I would like to give mention to Wild Thing at Valleyfair. It's first airtime hill after the drop has a good 3-4 seconds of sustained floater. The rest of the coaster is meh, but that first hill is an absolute treat.
Excellent video! Love airtime: I'll chime in on a few of mine in no order. The Voyage( no trims) - tripple down. Outlaw Run- first drop Skyrush- 3rd Hill. Phoenix-last 3 hills Phantoms Revenge- last bunnies.
The double dip on Jack Rabbit at Kennywood deserves an honorable mention-it’s made even better by the minimal belt and fixed lapbar restraints ... and it’s 100 years old. The OG airtime moment has spoken!
Due to the fact that I cannot contain my enthusiasm for this video: There is too much I wanna talk about here so for now I'll just summarize by saying: The outward banked turn on SV in the back car (row 11 or 12) was my favourite element on SV. It didn't upset the sustained airtime sensation like the "top hat"/2nd drop that preceded it, (which had the potential to be an even better drop and airtime sensation due to its even bigger drop) but because I felt it interrupted the sensation of airtime (by jerking to the right too abruptly and/or slightly at the wrong part of that drop) is exactly why I much prefer the outward banked turn/3rd drop. That element didn't interrupt the PERFECT and seemingly uninterrupted sensation of sustained flojector airtime of the element, despite the fact that it also turned to the right and had to eventually straighten itself from also being... I dunno... OUTWARD BANKED! Go figure ;) (If only every coaster element could be that perfect... ... I'm allowed to dream... ...) Thanks for this awesome airtime video.
My favorite airtime is on Phantoms Revenge at Kennywood, the second hill your floating out your seat the whole hill and on the turn around you don’t, but after that go into a airtime moment and it always makes you tee like your gonna die, then you go through six injector airtime hills. It’s an intense and amazing coaster
I've ridden Goliath at SFOG and the two moments of ejector airtime is the back-to-back hils over the street/entrance and the smaill hill before the brake run. Also giant floater airtime right before the 540 helix.
For some reason the strongest air time I ever felt was the air time on Steel Vengeance just before the midcourse. Maybe it was a hot day and I was in the back, it was even stronger and faster than Magnum's airtime
im glad to see El Toro on here 3 times. definitely rightfully deserved. sometimes by the time we hit the break run i feel like i was just violated. i can't believe its been 13 years and there are no trims on this thing
It is insane which is why it cracks my list. My recent rides have been kind of rough so by the end I get pretty stapled and that kinda put a downer on the quad down. But quick pops of ejector honestly arent my favorite
I see, and I definitely agree with what you said about SV’s outer bank. It’s currently my #1 coaster too, and the outer bank is a three way tie for my #1 element along with LRod’s quad down and off-axis hill after the wave turn.

@@xxv0ide5xx88 I can't confirm or deny that as I haven't been on I232 yet but it'd be tough to beat Bull. RB gets hat for "not having airtime" but it has plenty of air, and decently strong air at that. I'm confident saying that RB's drop at least is better tho.
The airtime hill on maverick is soooo underated
That airtime hill is heavenly. I swear each time I don't come back down to earth until you're slammed into the banked turn before the horseshoe roll.
It went over that hill so quickly, it doesn't really matter what seat you ride because you get the same great air time, don't even get me started with the first drop
I do sometime get the great airtime. But it matters on the soft strap restraint. If you are Holding it down.
@@chromayt-brawlshorts7 I felt like I was being slammed into it, I was actually floating
One that's really underrated on Maverick is the last one into the brake run. That pop of air gets me standing every time.

Leroy Tyler Dude! RB is amazing in the backseat

Completely agree on GhostRider. Doesn't look strong but totally threw me off first ride in the back.
The first drop on Time Traveler in the very back car is crazy. I love how the rest of the train yanks you over the edge.
I’m my opinion, Raging Bull is the most underrated coaster of all time
More people are starting to appreciate it
agreed. i’ve only riden two b&m hypes, raging bull and mako, and i think raging bull is a better ride
Shivering Timbers?
@@Hehe-nt4oe only because it is at Michigan’s Adventure

Your #2 fractured my rib the first time I rode it in 2015!!! But, after that I rode it 5 more times! By far my favorite wooden coaster I've ridden!!
I love raging bull’s first drop and all of the airtime on el toro, but nothing compares to the second drop on the boss. The first time you ride the boss, make sure it’s a night ride in the back. Trust me the second drop will catch you off guard.

Underrated airtime moment: Sky rocket back seat coming out of the MCBR
And incredibly smooth, too. Amazing for a nearly 100-yr-Old coaster.
What about phantoms revenge especially the last double down that is full of air time
Phantom has air but no finesse
I would give some love to a couple of woodies in PA. The final airtime run on Phoenix at Knoebels and the double down on Jack Rabbit at Kennywood.
I know you DESPISE this coaster but skyrush deserves some love and twitim's triple camelback could have gotten an honorable mention
I personally love skyrush but the restraints kill the mood but i still enjoy it!
Agreed

The first airtime hill on Storm Chaser. LEGENDARY
Epic score on this video, great job man!
My favorite part of watching airtime is watching ponytails
exactly. they're the perfect indicator of forces, makes it easier to tell what the ride is like
I love watching people's hair on roller coasters!
I rode steel vengeance and I think the ending bunny hills should have been on there also but you right about the outward banked hill on sv
I love Ghostrider, just rode it twice today and haven't rode it in years! I never really understood what airtime was or felt and boy I was taking advantage of getting airtime on coasters including Ghostrider.
Mavericks first drop is my favorite ejector moment on a coaster and my favorite floater is probably griffons first drop 🙌
I agree with the Maverick ejector, but I really hate the restraints. Same with the RMC raptor ejector moments getting ruined by the OTSR
Airtime Thrills i agree but if maverick had a t-bar it would be unsafe people would be smacking heads 😂
The last few hills on Comet at Hersheypark give some CRAZY airtime in the back row. at that point in the ride I just get lifted up about 2 inches off the seat on every one of the hills!
As a backseat ride junkie i get so tired of the front is the best. Thank you for getting it right. Backseat for life.

Thanks to some really kind souls giving up their spots we managed to get a back row ride before heading out- it was my first time in the back and my goodness does that final drop off the quarry pack a punch from there! I could ride the Iron Rattler all day long. Good thing the line isn't usually too bad!
Also, thanks for your recommendations for the must-do coasters at Over Texas! We had a great time and managed to get on all of the coasters except the clones (Batman, Joker). Most of the lines were pretty short except Mr. Freeze, New Texas Giant, Runaway Mountain, and La Vibora (those really roomy restraints were... something!). It took some convincing to get my brother on Mr. Freeze at first but it came out as the favorite of the day. Had to go for a second run right before closing! Did back and front rows on that- such a great ride! Clever method of running two trains, too!
I might have a few hours for Magic Mountain in August... but not a whole day. Maybe I can sneak a ride on Twisted Colossus at the very least!
Shivering Timbers at Michigan's Adventure is built only for airtime, and it gets it. Love that coaster.
Gotta love El Toro, of course. But for a while, Fiesta Texas was my home park, and that included the last days of the Rattler and the first of the conversion into the Iron Rattler. I remember going on the back row right after it opened, no real expectations yet (since RMC conversions were extremely new at this point and I hadn't tried out the New Texas Giant because of the horrendously rough rides I'd had on the original in the past keeping me away). That cliff dive made my heart leap, and to this day it's about my favorite coaster moment. (Well, maybe second favorite-- I somehow made it onto the Hulk without knowing how it started, and that was an incredible, supremely fun shock.)
Raging Bull has more airtime than Millennium Force
I love how you always give RB love. Thank you!
The grand nationals airtime buffet is still the best for me. But silver stars and ghost rider drop off the MCBR is insane as well
Nice video; waiting for that update though. Figure Arie Force One will crack the list.
If Mako isn't your favorite B&M hyper in the US, what could your favorite be?
Also found it cool you had Wildfire at Silver Dollar City on the honorable mentions.. With SDC as my home park, I've ridden that more than any other roller coaster in the world, and every time I sit in the back I do get some great airtime, and it's just awesome. Very neat that Wildfire made the honorable mentions. Great video, very much enjoyed it.
I freakin love SDC, one of my all time favorites! Mako is my 2nd favorite Diamondback is first
I rode diamond back recently and it was running really rough so now it’s sits as my number 3 hyper
@@AirtimeThrills i like mako better because diamond back is getting rough now
@Mike Wilson son of beast was fantastic
I haven't gotten to visit any parks outside the Southern California area, but my 3 favorites I've experienced would be that sudden drop after the double up on the blue side of Twisted Colossus, the camelback on the blue side of Twisted Colossus, and the 5th drop of GhostRider in the back row.
The blue side of Twisted Colossus is so damn good.
Blue side is king. I like green also but its kinda disappointing knowing you already did the better side when youre going up the lift
Exactly, the green side is great too, just feels a bit underwhelming after coming off the blue side. Even though that hangtime on the top gun stall is probably my favorite moment on the ride, the blue side is just better as a whole.
I agree blue side is better, however the stall on the green side is better than the roll on the blue side IMO
Intimidator305 at King’s Dominion had some wicked airtime! To the point I thought I’d fall out of my seat. Hot damn, that was some WICKED air time!😎👍
Gorgeous!!!...🎢🎢🎢🎢🎢🎢🎢🎢🎢🎢🥰👍🏼💯😘👏🏻😎❤️👌🏼😍😄😊😆😁🤩😀😃😮
What about the rmc raptor twisted airtime hill or the drop in the middle of them?
I find Behemoth's airttime after the first drop to be one of my favourites. Talk about sustained air. It's one of the few drops that still gives me butterflies (it's pure giddiness for me).
My favorite airtime moment is Cannibal's first drop. It has some very intense ejector, and occasionally, you can get a trimless ride on it, and the airtime on the drop is even more intense!
I cant imagine that drop trimless. That would be absolutely insane
@@AirtimeThrills The ride is crazy enough with trims, but without? You are whipped over that drop, and it feels like you are experiencing -2 g's! Even though -2 g's may sound amazing, it can be painful (especially if you're a dude).
They usually run it like that during the first bit of the season, when it's colder outside.
@@ryan_n05 I'll be back in late August so I doubt I'll ride it like that but here's to hoping
@@AirtimeThrills It won't run without trims. They only run it like that in usually about the first two weeks of the season.
Wow love the video. It's about time a enthusiast gives Raging Bull it's props.
The sustained floater hill before the tip out corner on Twisted Timbers. It feels like your in the air for soooo loong
The second trick track moment is also great
Great vid.
I just rode El Toro again last week and it was a little rougher than I remember it. It was a cool and rainy day so maybe that had something to do with it. The cool thing was this was my first ride on it after watching @eltororyan El toro breakdown vid so I was able to really understand some of the elements. That first drop is truly special. I almost feel as if there is a second pop of ejector at the very bottom of the hill somehow. I popped up higher from my already floating status and it was surprising.
The second thing I'll mention about those friggin camel backs is that you can actually hear the wheels leaving the track at the top. It's unreal and so incredibly cool. That "intamin fart" sound was something that slipped by me before I heard the explanation on what it is.
El Toro is just crazy and I love it to death.
Spent the afternoon Marathoning Griffin at BGW yesterday and was surprised not to see that drop on the list. From the back row of that ride (the row that avoids the hang time) you get a sustained floater the entire way down the drop. It's truly exceptional.
The drop on Sheikra and Griffon are really good but not quite top 10 status
The maverick second hill tosses your body so high!
So glad someone finally puts raging bull’s drop on this list. But the drop
off the mid course is just as good, if not better than the first drop
Yes, Wildfire also gave me awesome airtime in the back on the drop. Having just experienced El Toro the last few days, I totally get all that you said about it! The rolling thunder hill was my favorite moment of the 4. I was quite surprised by Superman Ride of Steel at SFA last Friday, with the hill after the weird straight-track section. I am literally bruised from that crazy ejector hill after 10 rides on it that day. Of course, I agree with you on Iron Rattler, and on Makos hill, which for me was even crazier in the front: sustained ejector with my eyeballs at the top of my skull. But my #1 is also that hill on SV.
Georgia Scorcher, despite being a standup, actually has PLENTY of airtime to offer. There is a mini wave turn midway into the ride, and my feet were simply LAUNCHED into the air. It was literally sustained ejector on a STANDUP.
Ive seen this on Riddler also, weird "standing" airtime
@@AirtimeThrills It's an EXTREMELY weird and unique feeling, and you can't get it on any other coaster model
I was getting that kind of airtime on Green Lantern at Great Adventure the last few days. It had me going back for more rides.
Ride of Steel at Six Flags Darien Lake, First drop and the S-hill at the end of the ride in the very last seat is awesome!
Wonderful video. I would like to give mention to Wild Thing at Valleyfair. It's first airtime hill after the drop has a good 3-4 seconds of sustained floater. The rest of the coaster is meh, but that first hill is an absolute treat.
I'll find out next year! I havent been impressed with Morgan hypers to this point but will see how WT stacks up
Hey Airtime thrills: I love raging bull but I honestly think that the hill into the helix is better what is your thoughts?
Excellent video! Love airtime: I'll chime in on a few of mine in no order.
The Voyage( no trims) - tripple down.
Outlaw Run- first drop
Skyrush- 3rd Hill.
Phoenix-last 3 hills
Phantoms Revenge- last bunnies.
Those are all great. I really need to ride Voyage without the trims
@@AirtimeThrills its super thrilling and intense. Almost feels unsafe. Riding wondering what keeping the train on the tracks.
The double dip on Jack Rabbit at Kennywood deserves an honorable mention-it’s made even better by the minimal belt and fixed lapbar restraints ... and it’s 100 years old. The OG airtime moment has spoken!
Due to the fact that I cannot contain my enthusiasm for this video: There is too much I wanna talk about here so for now I'll just summarize by saying: The outward banked turn on SV in the back car (row 11 or 12) was my favourite element on SV. It didn't upset the sustained airtime sensation like the "top hat"/2nd drop that preceded it, (which had the potential to be an even better drop and airtime sensation due to its even bigger drop) but because I felt it interrupted the sensation of airtime (by jerking to the right too abruptly and/or slightly at the wrong part of that drop) is exactly why I much prefer the outward banked turn/3rd drop. That element didn't interrupt the PERFECT and seemingly uninterrupted sensation of sustained flojector airtime of the element, despite the fact that it also turned to the right and had to eventually straighten itself from also being... I dunno... OUTWARD BANKED! Go figure ;) (If only every coaster element could be that perfect... ... I'm allowed to dream... ...) Thanks for this awesome airtime video.
Great list. Love your narration, and you have some cool personal picks 😅
My favorite airtime is on Phantoms Revenge at Kennywood, the second hill your floating out your seat the whole hill and on the turn around you don’t, but after that go into a airtime moment and it always makes you tee like your gonna die, then you go through six injector airtime hills. It’s an intense and amazing coaster
I know I’m late to this but thank you for recognizing Wildfires amazing drop lol
Storm runners top hat blew me away with its insane ejector
I've ridden Goliath at SFOG and the two moments of ejector airtime is the back-to-back hils over the street/entrance and the smaill hill before the brake run. Also giant floater airtime right before the 540 helix.
I get that you've probably not ridden it and dont know but Helix has an airtime hill that is such strong and sustained ejector. It's amazing!
Love the video ps can you do a video on the new coaster teaser at SeaWorld Orlando
I'll take a look
Thanks😀
The airtime hill before the dive loop on Steel Curtain is pretty great too.
Yeah SDC is my home park and wildfire does surprisingly have airtime on the drop!
Came for the mako respect, looking forward to its placement
For some reason the strongest air time I ever felt was the air time on Steel Vengeance just before the midcourse. Maybe it was a hot day and I was in the back, it was even stronger and faster than Magnum's airtime
The 3rd hill on Superman Ride of Steel at Six Flags America aka Ride of Steel at Darien Lake.
It's quite unassuming, but I think that's my favorite on at least that particular coaster(s).
Literally ALL of Twisted Timbers is a great airtime moment lmao
im glad to see El Toro on here 3 times. definitely rightfully deserved. sometimes by the time we hit the break run i feel like i was just violated. i can't believe its been 13 years and there are no trims on this thing
First Drop, last row on Expedition Geforce - Holiday Park, Germany
Best Airtime Moment ever created on a coaster and also best First Drop ever :)
Was gonna say that as well. You're really missing out on something if you haven't experienced that drop.
I am SHOCKED that you put the quad down so low. I wouldn’t even say it was the strongest moment on the ride, but it was still insane!
It is insane which is why it cracks my list. My recent rides have been kind of rough so by the end I get pretty stapled and that kinda put a downer on the quad down. But quick pops of ejector honestly arent my favorite
I see, and I definitely agree with what you said about SV’s outer bank. It’s currently my #1 coaster too, and the outer bank is a three way tie for my #1 element along with LRod’s quad down and off-axis hill after the wave turn.
