I don't really find the airtime on MF's third hill too exceptional (I know, here comes my blasphemy trial), mostly because I prefer the ejector type airtime over any type of floaty air, which is what MF has. MF's final hill is pretty good though.
I can't believe more people aren't saying Maggie's 3rd hill, especially in 3-1. I have counted almost 5 seconds of sustained ejector air, in the ejector seat and in the back too.

Blue streak all the way. After riding it atleast once a day for a season, I wouldn't give the award to anyone else!
Would the serpent bends count as air time or am I completely out of my head on this one?

If by serpent hills you mean the ones that kind of turn at the same time, I managed to get airtime on those when I went on, not making my lap bar too tight, but I was only around 85-ish pounds in 2000...

"Ugh..."
I'd have to say Millie Hill #3 for best extended float and a tie between Millie's hump by the station and Maggie's bunny hop right before the on-ride photo from 1-3 for best pop of airtime.

sorry,,,,,,i gotta go with corky. I'm so light my butt leaves the seat on the first hill nad dosn't touch until after the first loop. I love it!
Oh yeah and i love sitting last seat on the mine ride keepin my hands up. It is the coolist!!
I'd have to say a tie between Magnum's third hill, and MF's second hill. Magnum's is ejector style airtime, MF's is a nice extended float.

Don't worry, I have a plan. I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to SPEED around the city, keeping its SPEED over 50, and if its dropped, it would explode. I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down".

I think you guys mean the 3rd hill - the 2nd hill is technically the first overbanked turn.
For me it's a tie between Blue Streak and Magnum. Back row of Blue Streak is incredible, especially on the first couple hills before the turnaround. Magnum's 3rd hill may be the single best hill in the park for airtime, especially in 1-3, and the bunny hops just add to that air.

Way back at the top? God what is this world coming to? :)

I've always referred to MF's overbanked turn to be just that, a turn, but I can see how it could be considered a hill since it has elevation. If you count that to be a hill, then yes, I meant MF's 3rd hill has the incredible airtime.

Mean Streak...the way those brakes grab at the top, and the way it doesn't move down the hill until halfway down makes me wet my pants everytime! (WARNING: THIS IS A SARCASTIC REMARK!)
