Where would you go if you wanted Airtime?

I would head to Cedar Point. The Magnum!

Audioslaved, Dr. Doom is indeed S&S...

...and their LAUNCH towers are great airtime-producers...well, the shorter towers that *punch it* are. I miss IB... ;)

You guys crack me up and totally make my day!

I love it!

If you want the most total airtime in a single day go to the Dania Beach Hurricane at Boomers in Ft. Lauderdale on a weekday and buy an all day pass for $10. You will ride more times than you can stand and...after all is said and done...you will have achieved FAR MORE airtime than at any park that has been listed.

The Airport.

^^^LOL, wahoo. Go towards the bottom of Page-2...12/31/06, 6:30pm... ;)

I haven't hit a lapbar that hard that many times since I got off of Phoenix in October...honestly, I don't remember DBH being THAT forceful on any of my prior visits...and these were DAYTIME rides... :)

I was really surprised with Swamp Fox at Family Kingdom in Myrtle Beach back in September... I was expecting a credit lap and whoa! was I pleasantly surprised!

Well, right now Cingular has a pretty good deal with the rollover minutes, but all of the cell phone companies provide ample airtime if you're willing to pay for it.

I'd suggest visiting their websites, or their actual retail stores. Don't buy from those kiosks at the mall.

lol raven-phile:) those new commercials for Alltell wireless are hilarious:)

meh, im sentimental, i love my Grizz at PKD. but, i guess ill go with others and mention Maggie, the Intamin supes, and basically anything that exists now, or will exists in the future, in Santa Clause IN. lol:)

SNFE to visit Supes, or Vancouver to see God. :)

My top five favorite airtime rides:

The Steel Coasters:

1. Magnum-still allways my final ride everytime I go to Sandusky, this ride is amazing, and especially at night its home trip is without equal.
2. Phantom's Revenge-the most intense air (beating Magnum) of any coaster Ive been on, pure fun, if it was only longer...
3. SFNE S:RoS-pre restraint redo of course

The Wood Coasters:

1. Yankee Cannonball at Canobie Lake Park-Im biased on this one (my first coaster at the age of 3) but this ride packs more air per minute then most. An absolute gem of a ride
2. Shivering Timbers-another out and back, hmm pattern here?

lol! Although T-Mobile's myFaves seems like a better value since it's unlimited calling to any 5 numbers of any network and you don't have to save up the minutes in the first place. ;)

Go ride Avalanche in the Dells. More ejector air throughout the course of the ride than any coaster I have ever been on and you can ride without wait pretty much the entire day. Now, that, is the most airtime you can get in a day.

^KTS...finally did get to Avalanche, last July. Amazing! My ribs were healed within two weeks...stupid lateral POP of air...and ribcage... ;)

Great ride... :)

I'd have to say Cedar Point, they've got plenty of airtime.

Magnum, MF, WT, Blue Streak, and I can't believe no one has said Gemini. That has quite a few good spots of air.

Sure, Sure... This coming from the guy who works for T-Mobile :rolleyes:.

Actually, I've been thinking about switching to T-M when my Cingular contract is up because they seem to offer some decent rate plans and their phones are way cheap compared to the other carriers.

My only question is, how are their data plans compared to the other carriers?

data plans are relatively simple:

If you already have a standard voice plan, to add on the same line:
Sidekick - $20.00 (sidekick devices only)
Blackberry - $19.99 (blackberry or blackberry-connect devices only)
T-Mobile Total Internet - $29.99 (air cards, windows mobile, palm, or regular handsets as modem for a laptop)

all plans allow for unlimited data transfer and pop3/imap email access, so you son't have to worry about kbs like with most carriers. TMTI also allows for unlimited HotSpot (T-Mobile's wifi network available at starbucks, borders, and most airports).

for corporate email (exchange, domino, groupwise, BES, etc) add 9.99

For data-only plans that are going to have a line of service and no voice usage, add $10 for sk and bb, $20 for tmti.

Oh yeah, and I wouldn't recommend using the data network outside of the US, because roaming charges outside the US is $15 per MB.

Feel free to PM me if you have any more detailed questions.

Coaster airtime, 1) go to Knoebels, 2) get in line for Phoenix, 3) ride, 4) go down exit ramp, 5) make immediate left, repeat steps 2-5 as often as desired.

Cell phone airtime, DON'T go to Knoebels. I can only get reception standing on the roadway bridge next to the pool or standing on top of one of the planters in the open area in front of Phoenix. Doesn't work when I and the person I'm trying to call are standing at opposite sides of the Phlyers.

For the ULTIMATE airtime come to Bridge Day and gawk at the BASE jumpers. Now THAT is sick! ;)

I hope to be one someday. :) You have to be a certified skydiver first. Interested Nasai? Matt? Jeff? Bueller? ;)

Coaster-wise I would say Screechin Eagle (GOD I miss that thing!)
