The never ending battle that can never be decided, what is better, in your opinion, airtime or lateral Gs? They can both be very painful at times, and they also have their great moments, but which is better. For me it's airtime because I really like that floaty feeling.

P.S. I made this topic 'cause I felt like being annoying like some people we know.

Airtime -- sustained floater is preferred over ejector though.

I like air time, but when I'm riding a wooden coaster, I like both, thats the whole purpose of a wooden coaster, when you only have one or the other, the experience is missing something.

Airtime. Lateral airtime can be kind of cool but airtime alone enhances the experience IMO.

Would lateral airtime be air on turns? Because if it is then lateral airtime all the way.

Your definition seems correct.

Off Topic- Woodie Man, I don't think you'll be supporting my rocket coaster within the next month, I'm having a bit of trouble with it.

I can't seem to get my cobra loop just right with elementary, the corkscrew part is giving me a ton of trouble, I think I'll just change it to a regular cobra roll, but that takes some of the awe factor away.

Maybe someone can help you with the cobra loop. If you'd like to continue talking about this we could move to my "Need Supports?" topic or I can PM you with my AIM.

Lateral air time is a diagnal motion, You are flying up, while being thrown against your seat at the same time.

Sustained floater air all the way. People say MF doesn't have air, but its floater air IMO, is far more exciting than Magnm's ejector, you're floating for at LEAST 2 seconds on that first hill, it really scared me the first time.
