a ? about stand ups.
is there anyway to build a non looping stand up that could have airtime like a regular coaster except your standing as you float? wouldint that be cool? or have they already done that?

It's certainly possible, but as far as I know it hasn't been done yet. All the standups I know have loops. Riddler's Revenge @ SFMM does have a little airtime on a couple of its hills... as well as some hang-time on its loops! King Cobra @ PKI also has aome air on its bunny-hop. Al W.

There are plenty of standups out there with airtime, but to answer your main question, yes - there is at least one nonlooping standup in Japan, and it's a TOGO. There may be a couple more over there, too.

hmmm, cool

I think the only way to hold you in on a stand-up is with OTSR's.

There's a little air on some but there's a very good reason why you won't get big airtime - aside from the need for overhead restraints - just think about where that bicycle seat goes. Now think about airtime and landing on that thing hard. Airtime doesn't seem quite so appealing now, does it?

Well, they haven't done it yet. I personally love Riddler's Revenge for it's "float" time. The tops of the loops and the bunny hill over freefall give some great air. The only thing I can think would be a problem would be the bike seat under your crotch, I would imagine that could get painful. However, I've yet to get hurt on Riddler's, so, who knows, maybe a standup hyper is something that could actually be done (as opposed to an invert hyper that'll never happen).

ehhhhhhh, i didint even think about that.
If it's the floating Airtime were you come down gradually such as on that one hill on RR, then maybe it could be possible without being painfull.

As little as your things are it wouldn't hurt you to have massive airtime on a stand up hyper. The seat goes between your legs not up in your stomachs where your little things are. So you should have no problems.
