That's exactly what I was gonna say.

first it would have to be hypersonic xlc or superman the escape, but then i went to BGW and rode Apllo's Chairiot and that has tons of airtime, but then on my way home i stopped at kennywod and Phantom's Revenge airtime is insane, u acctually think u are going to fly out of ur seat.
charlie brown superman the escape is a coaster, it is in fact that fastest coaster, right now at least. thats like saying boomerangs aren't really roller coasters.
OK, Goliath back row over the bunny hop after the 2'nd drop for a Steel and for a woodie...GHOSTRIDER! Ghostrider back seat while doing the first U-Turn back to the station and the last hump before the Helix.
Well I don't have a track record that is as extensive as many people here but I can tell you that SFNE's SROS has the most air of anything I have ridden by far. MF and Magnum aren't even close. Nothing I have ridden yet is. I am gonna hit Nitro next week so I have an open mind, but let's just say no other ride makes one as thankful for the lap restraint as SRO.
Viper at Sfgam is awesome in the back seat.
The first 3 hills and one or two at the end of Manhattan Express are great from the back seat.
Raging Bull would be awesome if they got rid of the brakes on the 3rd hill and lowered the presure of the mid course brakes.
Desperado is money on the first hill.
American Eagle on the red side is great for an old woodie.

hey! i would have to say superman ride of steel at sixflags america. i fell like i am going to fly out of my seat!
The Coaster at the PNE/Playland has lot of airtime,especially in the last seat on the train,and only a lap bar for a restaint.
NITRO seriously has extreme amounts of airtime. Even the S-Turn provides air. And the camelbacks on the return to the station are amazing.
I actually found Millennium Force not lacking one bit in the airtime department. As a matter of fact, I got *fantastic* air when I rode it last August. But my favorite ride for air is Raven, hence my screen name.:)

Raging Bull has a lot of airtime on the four hill (the turn over the "train" station. The left-end seat in the back row is where the most airtime is.

Been on AC, SROS: SFNE, Hypersonic, and SROS: SFA.
I thought AC had the best and most unrelenting air.
I'll be riding MF, Maggie, PR, Goliath, Steel Force, and Nitro in the next three weeks, so maybe things will change, but AC has it's nine drops.
(of course SD2K probably blows anything in the US out of the water)

Phantom's Revenge, Timberwolf, and the double dip on Jack Rabbit is amazing, but Big Dipper at SFWoA has the most consistent airtime.
Shivering Timbers...easily #1. I spent most of the ride out of the seat,the Front seat..and its a Long ride.
Phoenix ...#2.
and here's one for you...those back to back to back drops on the Blue Streak at C-Lake, PA. are FILLED with airtime.
For steelies, S-Force and Magnum both with great air on the hops, but they may be topped now with the finish at P-Rvenge, Kennywood Park. What a great reworking of that ride!
