Um, you posted this in the wrong forum. Besides, there are plenty of these polls already.

But yeah, I like MF the most. But I haven't been on TTD.

i've been on all of those except dragster, and i have to say that magnum is a great ride, but its a bit bumpy. its rather rough. millenium force is just ...well... lame. i waited in line about an hour for it (not too bad) and although it was a good ride, it barely had any airtime and it had no intensity to it. wicked twister seems to be just the right blend of intensity with loads of airtime. and its all started by a 0-70 launch!

Wicked Twister, Last seat is a great ride (nothing like hanging in mid air at Zero-G and spinning as you drop straight down. I Still love MF the best, though I wish it had a little more airtime.

WT has no airtime. The closest it gets to air is 0g...its impossible to have more with it's design.

Thats impossible. The design of the ride doesn't allow it. The twisting vertical spikes can't provide negative gs, only 0g...and where else can you get air on the ride?

Yes, I have been on it. And if 0g in considered air to you, then yes it does have air. On coasters that have 0g while not going vertical then it would be airtime since the weight of your feet on the floor would allow you to come up in your seat.

You must be a pretty big guy then if you couldnt feel anything.

Lol, actually I'm pretty small [;)] It just doesn't make sense how going vertical produces airtime, since theres nothing that would throw riders up in their seats. If you mean theres air as in you go forward in your seat when the train starts rolling backwards/forwards down the spike, then yes I agree with you because you float a bit then. But technically, thats acceleration/deceleration gs since you don't actually go "up" in your seat.

I have never been to Cedar Point, but I think TTD would be best, am I wrong?

errm isnt 0g like wieghtlessness, cause if you have ever experimented in NL with a vertical zero G roll you would realize that zero G means zero G which means zero air=no -gs= NO AIR

Umm, airtime usually refers to a sort of weightlessness....and the motion of the train going up and coming back down produces this sort of floatation....it's not really airtime, but it is the same sort of thing, your body is just in a different position.

Oh yeah, and I agree with ya though, there sure ain't much air on Twister, though it is a sweet ride.

Yea I rode TTD and there was some parts where maybe the G's were close to wieghtlessness, but I dont think they ever came very close to -.4. I rode in the front and didnt feel much, of course its only 16 seconds long, so its all a rush really. Anyway changing topics, MF isnt that great of a ride, SROS is almost better, MF only has 4 areas of air, and SROS has over 7 or 8, and its 100 feet smaller but really fun. So CP's taller rides really arent that thrilling

Like i have always said to these CP polls: MF is my absolute fav. ride at that park, followed in by a close second with Raptor.
