I would say that also. Raging Bull, at night, last row, loose lapbar (as loose as they will allow). Another thing that makes it better is siting in the left end seat (on the third hill, it seems like you are floating in the air). ;)

On the drop, I had to put my feet down to "stand up" because I felt a little too open. :) I didn't touch the seat or lapbar on the 3rd hill, which is very cool. On the return hill, I got some more great floater air, and on the bunny hill, I was ejected with a lot of force. It was awesome.
If it hadn't been for this year's Coastermania, it would have been my best ride on it. Since then, I've discovered a never riding technique that maximizes open-ness and makes it feel like an inverted/floorless MF.
This is a very cool way to ride MF. First, you have to be in one of the back 2 seats of the car. You have to sacrifice some of the view...but trust me, what the ride lacks in view, it makes up in airtime. After I pull down the lapbar, I give myself enough room to wedge my legs between the lapbar, and the elevated portion of the car's floor. I get my legs free by sliding my feet forward, and I can extend my feet all the way with one foot between the front 2 seats, and the other one towards the outside of the car. You have GOT to try riding it like this, it makes it so much more intense, and it maximizes airtime.

"Airtime City in the Midwest definitely belongs to Worlds of Funs MAMBA! Still the best Morgan in the US. After it's 3 enourmous drops and six camel back hills including one of the first double up airtime hills Mamba provides not only a fast and smooth ride but also one with a great view of beautiful Kansas City."

Magnum is the best airtime machine :)

The most "terrifying" instances of air came both on the same trip… Kennywood's Jackrabbit (that infamous double dip) and Lakemont's Skyliner (first drop, back seat). In both cases I swore I was going to make it to the top of the next hill before the train!
The most sustained was on Steel Force. After the helix turn around, we floated the whole way back to the station over those "bunny hops" (sure as heck have BIG bunnies in Allentown if that is the size of their hops!)
Most stomach turning air, as dumb as it sounds, I found on Pharaoh's Fury (Swinging ship) at the York Fair (York PA). Okay, so it is a portable ride, but at the top of the swing (where I swear you are above the axel/pivot point of the ride) it took my stomach a few seconds to catch up to the rest of my body as we floated in our seats.
But the over all most fun… that wonderful creation known as Knoebels' Pheonix.

Please disregard anything said by me that is incomprehensible, incoherent, or just dumb. I am and will be drained from the arduous school year, thank you!
Third hill on S:ROS @ SFDL. Gets me every time. Pure euphoria.
