You guys should try the Mummy at USF. On the lap bar thingy, they have leg restraints to keep them down. It has some real surprise moments there.

P.S., how much longer on the Mummy review? I asked you like 3 months ago, and u said soon

Some coasters with surprise moments of huge airtime are maverick, millenium force (the tiny hill next to the station), the voyage (triple down in the tunnel), and most suprising of all, Fahrenheit at hersheypark. There is obviously airtime on the 97 degree drop, but there is one hill near the end that had a huge moment of ejector air, similar to el toro, and almost as strong.

QB3 & Rollercoaster Dude, here's my review of S:ROS at SFA. The air was kind of strong on the last few bunny hills, but the overall ride is very so-so. I gave it a 7 out of 10 mostly for its height and speed.

I haven’t riden any of those. I hope KD’s 305 will give us all some good airtime next summer. Hey, Coaster Critic, do you like 6 Flags/DC’s Superman? I use to ride that when we got season passes, but stopped getting season passes, when the park went ‘ghetto’ with people cussin’ and wearing their pants to their knees. Got on my nerves!

What about S:ROS at SFAmerica, i was litteraly being torn out of my seat for at least 3 seconds, and also the comet at the great escape has good airtime if you sit in the front. (also includes a Double-dip)

Last Row in Cornball Express is definitely up there. The first drop is holding on for dear life amazing.

Tom, it’s probably not clear from the title, but these are my top 3 “moments” of airtime. S:ROS (now Bizarro) had great airtime throughout, but no one ridiculous moment of airtime like these three do. Great question. Maybe I’ll go back and edit this post to make that distinction. Thanks for reading.

If you want real airtime, ride Cedar Point’s Maverick. That has one of the most intense amount of airtime on a roller coaster i’ve ever been on.

In your article about superman ROS to bizarro (http://www.thecoastercritic.com/search/bizarro) you said SROS had the most airtime on any roller coaster you’ve ever been on but here it’s just a honorable mention. Why isn’t it on here in the top three?

I really need to re-visit Kennywood. I haven't been since 2000 and my experience on the coasters there is little fuzzy. I remember loving Thunderbolt and having fun on the Jack Rabbit and Racer. I hated Exterminator. I have to give Kennywood credit on maintaining Jack Rabbit. It's over 80 years old!

Thanks for stopping by Mark.
