Delaware is maybe the most extreme disparity between the dismal situation within the state borders and the bonanza outside of them. Wilmington would actually be an amazing place for a coaster enthusiast to live as long as you can manage a couple hours' drive. You've got Hersheypark, Dorney, Six Flags Great Adventure, the Jersey shore, Coney Island and Six Flags America within that orbit, and Knoebels and Kings Dominion just a little further out.
Surprised Kansas with only kid credits is in the top 40. Funny I’ve been to 38 states as well and have always enjoyed maps as well. Must be a common theme among coaster enthusiasts. We won’t have the same 38 as I’m missing 4 from the northeast.
I had to give Kansas some credit for their quantity (you’ll be seeing them soon lol), but that’s so funny!! Yeah ironically most of the states I need were in this specific video 😂
Great job with this video! As a skyline enthusiast first and foremost I really appreciate the aerial shots and paused to admire a few. I'm also an older rider finding their (re)enthusiasm. I'm 42 and my coaster count is only 30 after about a 12 year hiatus, although I expect 50+ by the end of this year and avoid the kiddie/wild mouse/family/spinners, so only going for quality. I yelled myself hoarse a few weeks ago going hands-up in the back row on Wicked Cyclone which I'm sure you can appreciate! Looking forward to the rest of these! I'm guessing Massachusetts clocks in between 16-20.
Nice video can't wait to see where my home state Ohio ranks in your opinion, we have 2 of the best parks in the country, the state is working on major renovation projects in many downtown areas, and a few other plans to help expand the tourism business here. Subscribed :)
I really wish rocky point was still around. I'm too young to have gone and only know it from the XC races there, but it would be awesome being so close to a park. It's still cool to see tho with signs showing wat was there and also still being able to see the railroad track from an old train ride that used to be there.
@@coaster365 I say Pennsylvania is in the top three also, not just because of its already awesome parks, but also because of how many coasters there are in surrounding states. You border Virginia and New Jersey on one side, and Ohio on the other.
Hawaii may not have a permanent coaster, but they do have a Wisdom Jungle Twist through EK Fernandez Amusements for their carnivals... Also, Cowboy Coaster in Wyoming may be one of the best mountain coasters I've ridden. I'm digging the stat rankings so far Bryant! Looking forward to seeing where you rank the rest of the states. - Gary
I'm a geography nerd too, sounds like you pretty much described myself with the state capitals. I got my fair share of Rand McNally atlases 🤣 I'm also at 38/50 states too! Can't wait to see the rest of the list. Glad my state is not in the bottom 10 haha, I do expect it to appear soon though.
Other videos or articles about "coaster states" skip over the ones with just kiddie coasters or alpine coasters...but not Coaster 365! This is the level of detail and accuracy that fans of this channel have come to expect. (Plus, I'm not worried about where my home state will rank.)
Pennsylvania seems like the best to me you have hersheypark dorney park kennywood phoenix etc: and your only a couple hours away from Great Adventure Cedar Point or Kings Island
The thing to remember about PA is, it's a long state. If you live in the east, you're going great with Hershey and Dorney, but Kennywood is too far for a single-day trip, and the Ohio parks are even farther. Even Knoebels is a hike for Philly folks. And it's the same for Waldemeer from Pittsburgh.
Delaware and Rhode Island would be mid-tier instead of bottom tier if you ranked them by states to live in with the most nearby coasters but being allowed to cross state lines.
You can definitely make an entirely different list based on how close you are to rides in other states (West Virginia would be the prime example of not great in-state but fantastic just outside), but in my opinion that kinda takes away from ranking the coasters specifically IN that state

I’ve been to 48 states (all but AK and HI) and have been to parks in Minnesota, Virginia, California, Michigan, and most recently Tennessee.
That’s extremely impressive!!
Purely Amazing. Being from outside of United States, I learned about geography AND coasters. I can now die happy
Aw I love hearing that!! Once I start getting out to more international countries I would love to do something similar to this worldwide!

Wicked Cyclone was the one that did it for me!! Hey you’re only 6 years older than me, so go for it man!! Love to see you get back into it :)
Louisiana is the only surprise state on this segment of the list (you would expect it to have more coasters than they do)
Probably not other state has had more SBNO bad luck then Louisiana, but hopefully the reopening of Dixie Landin’ means their coasters open up too!
thanks! great vid, cant wait for the next 4!
Definitely had all of those same books and puzzles growing up! Thanks for the nostalgia trip lol.
Whattt no way!!! Literally how I learned all the capitals/countries 😄

Thank you so much!! You are not wrong about Ohio having two of the best!
@@coaster365I don’t know where you’ll rank the state I live in but you’ve already roasted their biggest park in this video.
@@DoswarePictures hmmmm, going on a limb with the Wolverine State? 😄
@@coaster365 yes
Nice "The Last of Us" reference.
Believe in the Fireflies 🪰
My home state won't be in this series because I'm Canadian, though there is no coasters within an hour range of this province
Your closest would probably be Maine if I remember correctly right?
@@coaster365 for state, yes but the closest coaster is actually in PEI
I really wish rocky point was still around. I'm too young to have gone and only know it from the XC races there, but it would be awesome being so close to a park. It's still cool to see tho with signs showing wat was there and also still being able to see the railroad track from an old train ride that used to be there.
Yeah even at 36 I’m still too young to have ever gone 😂, actually didn’t know there was still signs up! Will have to check it out next time I drive by
@@coaster365 yeah it’s pretty cool
The low single rider coasters in Wyoming and Montana adds an extra excitement.... mountain lions chasing you for the kill.
Oh good lord 😳😂
I’m excited to see the next video 😮
I expect number 1 to be either Florida or Ohio because they both have amazing parks in their borders and some decent scenery around the state as well.
Don’t think it’s a spoiler to say you know both will be high on this list! #ButWhere 🤔
@@coaster365 I say Pennsylvania is in the top three also, not just because of its already awesome parks, but also because of how many coasters there are in surrounding states. You border Virginia and New Jersey on one side, and Ohio on the other.
@@coastarider completely agree but surrounding states won’t matter for these rankings. I’m going by what’s in the state border alone
@@coaster365 Oh, well then I think Fl should take the cake as a florida thoosie, we will see tho!
Alaska would get a roller coaster after i moved from there 😂
Oh nooooo 💀
Hawaii may not have a permanent coaster, but they do have a Wisdom Jungle Twist through EK Fernandez Amusements for their carnivals...
Also, Cowboy Coaster in Wyoming may be one of the best mountain coasters I've ridden.
I'm digging the stat rankings so far Bryant! Looking forward to seeing where you rank the rest of the states.

You would know that Gary 😂. But appreciate this man!! Always value your opinion ❤️
5:05 At least Bismark kids will have their first roller coaster experience at an amusement park instead of a traveling carnival/fair.
Very true!!

That’s so awesome!! It’s so fascinating to me haha. And yeahhh wellll, Oregon will indeed be on the list at some point 😛

You KNOW I have to go all in, 365 doesn’t just mean all the days 😝. Appreciate that Brian though seriously ❤️
Operating The Safari in Nebraska was hands down one of the stupidest yet awesome moments of my life 😂
Whatttt I had no idea!! That’s way more awesome than stupid 😝
@@coaster365 it was more awesome than stupid, until I stepped in cow manure 😂
I have 46 state creds. I’ll get a +1 this summer.
HELLA impressive!!

New Jersey because they have one of the best six flags In the chain
They’re up there!! Keep watching the series 😉

You’ll have to find out! I will say, based on how I’m judging these states, the fact its close to OH and NJ does not matter

"Swear to me that everything you said about the fireflies was true."
"I swear"
"Ok"
I heard that TLOU reference.
😉😉😉 - I was actually saying that exact scene looked like it would’ve been where this alpine coaster was!!
Hawaii may not have coasters but we have wet n wild on Oahu. Waterslides aren't too off. Aloha from Honolulu 🤙
4:15 actually im pretty sure heaven looks a lot better than Hawaii
Well here’s hoping anyway 😅

Florida's the best
Definitely a contender!
For sure. Epic Universe is about to push it further
Thats right florida crew
