Most Airtime

Out of the few coasters iv'e been on, Giant Dipper has the best airtime. If the restraints were tighter it would be more enjoyable, because I am only 5'2" tall and very skinny, so the restraint is, like, 5 inches from my body. Whenever I put my hands up on it, I literally feel like I am going to fly out of the ride. :p
 
Now that I've ridden Diamondback, I have to say it takes the cake. The airtime wasn't that great though.
 
I'm going to be different and say Stampida with a **** load of gap from your lap-bar. Especially on the back of the blue train, it is ridicuolus down the first drop, so much air-time that your ass bruises at the bottom of the drop.

It's similar to Wild Mouse at Blackpool, some of the pops are beyond ejector...

Anybody familiar with what lies beyond that bend?
 
Ravine Flyer II, Magnum, Maverick, Thunderhead, Diamondback, and Goliath SFoG all have some great airtime.

And we needn't forget MF's ultimate floater air. ;)
 
I got a great pop of airtime riding front seat on TTD a few days ago. It definitely wasn't the best, but it surprised the **** out of me because I have never experienced it over the tophat. It's usually non-existent.
 
Colossus (TP) actually has a surprising amount of airtime on the small hill after the loop the same could be said with 10 inversion rollercoaster, but that's a boring clone!
 
The Voyage is the best coaster i've been on for airtime by a long way. Colossos at Heide Park would be second for me (I haven't been on El Toro, yet) Diamondback at Kings Island gives great airtime from the back of the train but none at all in front.

Haha, Wild mouse does have huge airtime at 2-3 points in the ride, it's the only coaster i've been on that actually seems dangerous when you ride it, but it's great fun.
 
Well, Im at Kennywood and got Skyrocket. For the single amount of awesome airtime plus random spots, Skyrocket takes the cake :3 Airtime during a corkscrew and zero-g roll is awkward but AWESOME! SO MUCH EJECTOR :3

Switching between the hideouts'...
 
I'll make a better and more easy visual....going through the inversions on Sky Rocket, you aren't in your seat...at all. You are literally hanging during the inversions and it is really fun and awesome to feel. The only thing keeping you in the seat, is the lap bar

Still, Sky Rocket now has the greatest moments of ejector airtime I have ever felt <3
 
^There's still a big difference between 'hang-time' and 'ejector' air-time.

Ejector - When the air-time feels forced, often took with intense speed. (i.e. El Toro's hills)
Floater - Gentle air-time often found on drops, or large-crested hills. (i.e. Silver Star)
Hang-Time - Created by taking inversions slowly, feeling of falling upside-down. (i.e. Shockwave loop)
 
^That. Sky Rocket does eject you out of your seat.. kinda.. on the first hill.. but those inversions can't really be considered ejector as they don't really throw you out of your seat.. but more 'hang' you out of your seat because of the speed through those said inversions.

Go to 0:44.. when I drop/get thrown around out of my seat.. not thrown straight up from the vertical G's.
 
I've only been on a fraction of the coasters in the US (and the world!) but I'd have to say Colossus (Magic Mountain) had the most. Either that or I305. Rebel Yell had some airtime too.
