I'm trying to figure where you are headed. I know this is the off season. I know we like to encourage members to post quality posts. I deleted your other thread, the one with the poll, if you want the poll, simply edit your post and you should be able to add a poll.

First of all, Phantom's Revenge isn't an Arrow hyper, it's a Morgan. The only segment of Phantom's Revenge that is Arrow is the lift, the drop, and part of the first hill.

As for which is better, both have killer airtime, but one I consider not to be fun airtime. Phantom's Revenge offers airtime while giving a smooth ride, when I rode Magnum, the only thing I remeber was banging my knees and getting shooken around through it's bunny hops. So, Phantom's Revenge definitely takes the cake because it's an airtime machine. I'm just glad I can ride it whenever I want to living only 10 minutes from it.

Magnum is my favorite coaster, period. Most airtime I have even experienced in any coaster.

Phantom hurt like hell when I rode it and I've never had too much of a problem on Magnum.
While I agree that Phantom does have some good airtime and a decent layout my vote goes to Magnum for the beach side layout and amazing airtime on the last bunny hops (especially at night when the trims are off).

PR though Maggie has sweet air in the ejector seat, but PR is better.

I vot PR, because I think PR has the best location of any coaster (in the US), and this really makes the ride as special as it is. Also, magnum's layout isn't as interesting as PR's, and magnum just plain hurts.

I'm not saying magnum isn't an awesome ride, its just not as good as PR.

Totally agreed. Although i've never been on PR, I probably would live it better

I like the lap bars on PR a lot better than almost ANY coaster. Magnum has a longer ride. Either one is good for me.

Magnum, by FAR.

PR may have some spots of great airtime.. but what, like 4? Magnum has so much more air. And you can't beat the setting. And I thought PR's layout was kind of awkward, though you can't blame them since they have to work with the land they have.

Phantom by far, though Magnum is right below it in my top five. Magnum has more airtime, but the absolute forcefulness of Phantom's airtime is what gets me. The first half of the ride has some heavy Gs and cool drops, but after going under Thunderbolt again, the ride goes wild. It's the best airtime I've ever experienced outside of Storm Runner's top hat.

The double down is the best element on it. Absolutely amazing G forces.
