I know what you're thinking: "Massive airtime on SkeiKra? That's impossible. Nothing happens on that ride and it's a boring piece of crap." You'd normally be right, but it turns out that recently they didn't have the water splash working and the train didn't slow down on that straightaway. Watch what happens on this video I found on Screamscape when it hits the next hill:



Too bad they can't keep it...

Personally, I find you get quite good airtime on the drop, too, but splashless, it looks like you get loads of airtime and plenty of forces in that final curve, which is nice considering how boring that bit of the ride is normally.

Haha that's fantastic - I wonder how many NL2 rides are designed properly for the lack of water splash?

Well, if Diamondback did the same thing, the riders would get a sudden pop that is a bit much for B&M! ;)
