While Airtime is generally considered most peoples favourite force/experience on roller coasters, I was wondering if there are any people out there who seek out/prefer other forces.
For me personally, I like ejector airtime the most, but at the same time, if floater is sustained for a very long period, that is also a major contender for my favourite experience on a coaster.
On the other hand, my favourite coaster element ever is the hydraulic launch, which involves forward G-Force, rather than traditional vertical G's (positive/negative).
Laterals are more hit or miss, I don't really care for them if it's the only force at play, such as on wild mouse hairpin turns - and they can be uncomfortable sometimes depending on how well you brace yourself, as well as the coaster trains themselves (I don't really feel them if a coaster has vest restraints, for instance). I do however, love laterals when combined with other forces, such as airtime (Hyperia's drop is a prime example of this).
Positive G's are also kinda hit or miss. On the one hand, I appreciate the intensity they bring on rides such as B&M inverts, but I typically only really enjoy them if a coaster has good pacing and whip. More graceful rides that pile on the positive g's end up feeling somewhat dull and too controlled, where airtime moments would certainly help to break it up and make it more exciting.
