Well, although to be honest, it wasn't a great ride, out of the rides I've been on, I'd have to say the first airtime hill on Colossos @ Heide Park.

Irn Bru aswell for me. Sitting in the front seat for the backwards drop is nothing but ejector airtime! Then i'd have to say Grand National and Big Dipper

The top of the hill on Bullet at Flamingoland for me after the backward launch. Ritas also got some good airtime.

That drop out of the MCBR. Nothing else that I've ridden comes even close.

The final drop on Raven at night ... just a floor dropping experience cause you cannot see squat.

Expedition GeForce doesn't pull strong negative gs for a short time though... Like on most steel coasters, its sustained over the whole parabola (or most of it at least). Your basically only going to find the extreme, life-threatening feeling burst of airtime on a wooden coaster. Particularly the classic ones, which basically all that had that kind of airtime were torn down. The coasters that have strong airtime in most people's opinions are just pale in comparison to what a lot of those coasters did.

Well, not a coaster, but nothing comes close to coming around the bottom of a Zipper upside down. It's 3+ negative G, easily.

^ I can imagine. Some classic woodys look like ther airtime cant be rivalled. I guess its because of restrictions and stuff now and the fact that manufacturers dont want to push the limits too much so its dangerous.

No I haven't... kind of like what?

I've ridden GhostRider in the back, and the drop out of the MCBR was just floater air (more than just a float, but not enough to be called ejector). It was great, but far from being strong.

yeah, its not full on air time, but its more than floater air, but this is fact, the jack hammer sends shockwaves through your back in that back seat on the drop, and its an akward filling.
