HangTime is California’s first and only dive coaster, but what does that mean? A dive coaster gets you up to a very high height—in this case, 150 feet above the boardwalk area as you are pulled STRAIGHT up and lying flat on your back—and you come up over the top and on the other side there is a drop. But with HangTime, you don’t drop right away; you HANG in the air for a few seconds (HANGTIME). When you’re hanging, you are experiencing the anticipation and anxiety of the drop, and perhaps re-evaluating what is important in your life (maybe that was just me?), which is exactly what Rob was hoping for. He admits that the hang time on HangTime is there to just freak people out a little bit more!
There are also twisting dive tracks (that had the added bonus of giving me perfectly windblown hair), and HangTime is only the SECOND roller coaster in the Western Hemisphere to have a negative g-stall loop, which I believe is a fancy way of saying you kind of float in the air for a moment as you are upside down. And, when you ride at night, there’s colorful track chase lighting, which is really beautiful.
