And as far as Magnum, the seat you ride in makes a big difference on the type of air you'll feel. There is an "expert" on Magnum around here...

As for not liking air. The MB Hurricane has those Gerstlauer trains(like Villian I think, but not like a Boss train), and although the ride is no means what you couled call an air machine, some days it delivers the goods in air instead of speed(that make sense?). But when the train comes to the second hill, the lapbars, no matter where on the train, would ratchet down a few several clicks(this may have been an adjustment or repair, last two trips the lapbars moved down one click at most, if at all), making nice little bruises on the sides of the upper legs. Those lapbars tight:(, bad for air.
Actually, being skinny, any tight lapbar hurts.
Millennium Force's first drop gave me my first ever feeling of total and complete airtime, not having my butt touch the seat.
Magnum's bunny hops probably give some of the best airtime as well.
But before Cedar Point, airtime brought fear. But it's all good now :)

Then agian I don't think I have ridden magnum enough yet. I think I need to go for 1000 rides on it next year just to make sure I am right.
Dan who was just a meare 99 laps short of his 1000 laps for a single season this year.

The Big Dipper at SFWoA is a wonderful old ACE COASTER CLASSIC with the "one position only" lapbars. When I rode it on the back I seriously felt like I was going to fall out - so did my girlfriend. (And we don't scare easy!) We decided that's the only ride where we WILL keep our hands down and holding on VERY tightly at all times!
Great ol' coaster though.

I don't have too much of a problem anymore but violent slammer air (last seat in Lakemont's Skyliner for instance) still has a negative effect.

1. Calm down, dude.
2. Notice the little smiley face by my post. That should indicate to you that i was making the post *gasp* in jest.
3. My parents didn't beat me.
4. Its just a message board, on the internet. No need to get so belligerent.
