Steel Force

also Viper at SFGAdv has some airtime but in a different way. The drop provides some air (major stomach droppage too) and the 2 inversions on it suck you off your seat.

Apollo's Chariot, there is plenty of airtime over all of the hills, even the last few, giving the ride plenty of airtime

any of the Superman:Ride of Steels. They all give great air time. Also Apollo's Chariot and Nitro.

Definately Apollos Chariot. Not only does it offer floater air, but ejector also.

Magnum comes in a close second.

Steel Force at Dorney Park. The most air, overflowing with Floaters. No extreme negative g's though.

I'm not sure if it is THE most, but Magnum has the most air of any steel coaster I have ridden.

Yeah, I did hear that Magnum has insane ejector air on the bunny hops.

Magnum has the most air through out, but surprisingly the best/strongest/longest point of airtime I've experience on a steel is the first hill on the Demon @ SFGAm in the back, you just are stuck in your harness the whole way down, it is awesome, only in the back mind you.

I totally forgot about Demon. I rode in the back last time I was there, that is a great drop in the back. The only place on magnum I didnt feel airtime on was the second hill.

Magnum indeed has some great airtime, especially on the bunny hills back to the station. However, I gotta say that Phantom's Revenge provides some of the most insane ejector airtime I've ever experienced! You can't beat those wonderfully designed double dip bunny hills!

Also, Superman: Ride of Steel at SFDL is an absolute airtime machine, and the 3rd hill is number one for me for floater airtime. You're out of the seat for 5-6 seconds!! There's probably many more out there with killer airtime, I just haven't ridden them yet.

I think Magnum has the most airtime out of any steel coaster that I have ridden. Demon's first drop in the back really rips you out of your seat and into the restraints. That is the strongest ejector air I have felt.

Nitro has literally no air except for the bunny hops at the end, and I wouldn't even call it floater air. It barely lifts you off your seat. Steel Force even has more, and better air.

The restraints make it impossible to get off the seat.

Those restraints make it pretty easy to get room so that you can get lifted off of the seat.

Listen to this guy, he knows what hes talkin about. Just move forward on your seat then close the restraints and stay there until the op goes to check your restraint then fall back in your seat and you'll get a disguisting amount of airtime. Anyways, I can't believe SROS at SFNE isn't dominating this poll, and Steel Force definitly doesn't have much air at all.

Because you probably didn't put it down all the way.
