Air time (rides)

In the context of amusement rides, air time, or airtime, refers to the time during which riders of a roller coaster or other ride experience either weightlessness or negative G-forces. With roller coasters, air time is usually achieved when the train travels over a hill at speed.

In 2001 the Guinness World Records recorded Superman The Escape, located at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Valencia, California, USA, as the fastest roller coaster in the world, where riders experienced a then record 6.5 seconds of 'airtime' or negative G-force.Hypercoasters, such as Magnum XL-200 at Cedar Point, Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland, Superman the Ride at Six Flags New England, Shambhala at PortAventura World and Goliath at Six Flags Over Georgia, along with many wooden roller coasters, such as Balder at Liseberg, The Voyage at Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana, and El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, are rides known for having a particularly high total air time.
