Airtime thrills ahh video

They copy a significant amount of his content lol

Lol
an oddly specific yet surprisingly common combo lol
You get your steel coaster here, and you're (heavily) modified wooden coaster on the other side. It's an obvious combination, like chocolate and peanut butter!
Cause they are the best manufacturers for thrill seekers. Therefore they are popular, and always tend to be top coasters in their park.
KD definitely deserves some points for how vastly different the 1-2 punch is from each other.
I(P)305 is an insane positive G machine, probably the most aggressively positive coaster in the world
TT is an insane negative G machine, its just airtime hill after airtime hill, in terms of pure airtime, its gotta be in the top 5 most negative Gs on a coaster.
That's a perfect combo. They're both entirely different experiences, and people prefer either or based on if they like airtime or intensity more.
Man I can't wait to get to this park either way
Cheetah Hunt absolutely owns..... its such a great family coaster. Smooth. Long. Just fantastic. I love it
My second favorite coaster after velocicoaster
The disrespect for cheetah hunt continues
Walibi will soon have 3 rmcs!!
Can’t wait
3? Wish I lived in Europe
@@notcaleb64 fr
Yeah there are already supports laying next to the turn into the stengel dive, track for one of the raptors is also on site already through not visible from any ride yet
@@mellenijhofnijhof yep which combined with Untamed makes for 3 RMC's in one park
As a someone with his homepark being EL, im very happily surprised, because i was expecting CP and Hershey to be above it in the ranking
Hyperion is just that great. And Zadra is peak RMC as well.
@@davefroman4700 I'm the opposite.
My friend and I spent 2 days at Hersheypark last month, and kicked off both days with 2nd-to-back row rides on Fahrenheit. We both rated that as our #2 in the park behind Wildcat's Revenge and ahead of Skyrush. I think it's just really underrated because the line gets so bad if you don't get on it right away.
Fahrenheit was fun for us too! It's kind of overshadowed now, but it's a lot of fun.
I enjoy Fahrenheit, it's just not as intense as the others. Depends on what you like.
Hershey is my home park and do I like farnheight? Sure.sometimes my rides are smoother than others but the sun on the lift is a pain and it 100% has a kind of bad rattle in some spots. Skyrush hands down beats it for me. I will never get tired of plowing up that lift hill in the back row on a wing seat. 😭
Such a great video! My brother and I look for this combo when we travel to parks.
Of the top of my head I think CP energylandia Hershey KD and Sf New England. Energylandia and CP are the best. I haven't been to Hershey yet but Steve is my number one coaster, I prefer it over gwazi, and maverick is over velocicoaster for me soo... I think I'll like cp more. Maverick is the most underrated coaster ever its elite
Yeah, I don’t know about the top 3. I would take Steel Vengeance and Maverick over both of Hersheypark’s rides. Steel Vengeance is substantially better than Wildcats Revenge and Maverick is marginally better than Skyrush, in my opinion. Cannot speak on behalf of Energylandia’s 1-2 punch which looks incredible and could certainly be number 1.
These two manufacturers rarely put out duds, so any way you slice it, you’re not wrong! Fun list!
Agreed. Vengeance and Maverick >> Skyrush and Wildcat
I was surprised by Cedar Point coming in behind Hersheypark because in Taylor's own top 25 video, both Maverick and Steel Vengeance ranked higher than Skyrush / Wildcat's Revenge. Of course, this ranking was probably a combined effort between Sarah and Taylor's opinions, and the new Skyrush restraints have probably improved everyone's opinions.
Skyrush sucks
Looks like I'm not the only one that feels this way about Skyrush. I was expected to be absolutely blown away by it by all the top ten lists it's made. Over way too quick and none of the elements made a lasting impression on me
agree
Hyperion and Zadra and Skyrush and Wildcats Revenge above Maverick and Steel Vengeance is CRAZY.
I like this idea, but what about doing the best Intamin/RMC duo by state? (For states that have at least 1 of each, of course). Or by country if we're talking Europe?
Iron Gwazi and Velocicoaster would be hard to top.
One thing as a Swiss Person and Coaster Lover I never fully understood that we have two Companies (Intamin & B&M) that build some amazing & crazy Rollercoasters around the world, yet we have here only one coaster and it's from a Russian Company, go figure, lol.
I only went so far to Iron Gwazi as an RMC Coaster and I really really enjoyed it, definitely both RMC & Intamin are making some amazing Coasters these days. Cedar Point is on my "Must Visit" List, but haven't had the chance yet, I need to ride GateKeeper and Steel Vengeance and all the other crazy rides.
Love your Videos btw :)
Finally a list where SFNE shines!
Edit: Nevermind
I wish i could travel like u two and check out these awesome coasters. Ive only been on 3 coasters from this list
Having experienced a grand total of 0 RMCs, it's gotta be steel vengeance/maverick lol
1. Superman-wicked cyclone
2. Toro-jersey devil
3. Overrated sky rush- wildcat wannabe be gwazi
4. Project mid- twisted no airtime timbers
5. Forceless- structure failure vengeance
You have beef with Hershey too? 😭
Yeah no
Damn the hate 😭
As a guy from Slovakia, I still can't believe that I have these two freaking world class rollecoasters just 3-4 hours away from my home (plus Abysus and Formula)...Energylandia❤.
Congrats!! I really want to get out there and ride them next year.
Imma rank three I’ve done:
1- SteVe and Maverick
2- Twisted Timbers and P305
3- Wildcat’s revenge and Skyrush
Yeah hyperion and zadra I can't see them being better than steve and maverick, twisted timbers and p305 solid, wildcats revenge and skyrush should have been number one if not steve and maverick.
@@haqqrasheed3115 wildcat’s revenge did not impress me
My top 7 actually very cleanly answers this question for me (if you take out the outlier from another park)
1. Steel Vengeance
2. Wildcat's Revenge
3. 305
4. The Voyage
5. Maverick
6. Skyrush
7. Twisted Timbers
So the park order would be Cedar Point, Hersheypark, Kings Dominion
I was like "Cedar Point Homer" when I seen my home park was #3 but.... when I seen Hersheypark was 2 I knew EXACTLY where you were going with this with Energylandia being #1. Never been to Poland (not sure if/when I'll ever get to Poland). Great video though. I'd put Storm Runner now over Skyrush though, at least right now.... Sucks getting old😢
I would put Cedar Point as Number 1 because after you do Steel Vengeance and Maverick you still have so much amazing coasters.
Cheetah hunt is such a fun ride!! Just a perfect coaster for absolutely everyone, the out and back layout is awesome, that structure before the drop is so visually appealing + it’s one of a kind! So surprised you two don’t like it more
Cheetah hunts drop is better than all drops in the park except gwazi, its so good in the back
SheiKra's drop is better but, it's close.
I would also take Sheikra, but Cheetah Hunt is def #3
As someone with Kings Island as their home park it makes me sad the only thing we have from either company is a drop tower lol
3 solid b&ms though
Kings Island would be OP if they added those. Still an amazing collection despite it.
An RMC just wouldn't fit in at Kings Island, to be honest.
This list was made for SFNE!
edit: You monsters...
Airtime Thrills would give this to SFNE, or at least rank it higher, but he already made something very close to that video.
Did you seriously think that SFNE would be above Energylandia?
@@NathanHydra Yes
If they rode Superman in its early days, it would be #1 for sure
@@waycnf7229 lol
Hyperion has been our NO 1 coaster since we first rode it back in 2019, so totally agree with the NO 1 spot. If Energylandia had no other coasters except Hyperion and Zadra, it would still be worth the visit.
For me as a Dutch man, I can confirm that Zadra with Hyperion is the 1-2 punch in Europe. Yes, I love my 1-2 punch in The Netherlands but Poland has it just more with a 206 ft Hybrid from RMC and a 252 Intamin mega. Poland is definitly the best so I totally agree.
Skyrush restraints are SO MUCH BETTER now. Rode it like 15 times on my last trip and it was great.
To me there's no question that Superman is better than WC, in fact it makes WC seem like a dinky little thing while somehow '305 doesn't do that to TT.
Hershey seems too high, I almost prefer Storm Runner since I can't breathe by the end with the new Skyrush restraints and it's so rough now. New theme is great though.
Six flags New England at 8 is a stretch but the others pack a punch!
LOVE the glasses, Sarah! Its giving modern, casual Dame Edna 😍🥳
Great video! I enjoyed watching this!
I've done #4 and #3 in my life both are incredible.
I feel like airtime thrills would make this video
I need to know the hype around SkyRush. Personally, it was very unmemorable compared to Cheetah Hunt 😂
I recommend the front honestly? I did it in the back first and was like, meh... but then I did it in the front and it was very fun. Especially the wing seat.
@Theollieb2 I might have been towards the back? Definitely had a wing seat. I just remember not being impressed by it. I'll definitely need to give it a 2nd chance, then. It's just not as easy to get to the park as I'm no longer a New Jersian.
@@lilchioback left wing was my go to before the new restraints. Now it doesn’t matter because no more laterals. Also it’s definitely a ride that has to warm up, so going on it toward the end of the day is best. But not too close to the end of the day because it likes to go down a lot.
SteVe and Maverick are the best, no question!
4. I really enjoy Cheetah Hunt. Iron Gwazi was insane, but I need to ride it again...
3. For HP, I don't care for Skyrush that much. It was definitely intense and insane, but it's so rough, rather short, and the new restraints still kill your thighs. Also, the whip only exists in the back; the Stengel Dive does nothing in the front. So I'm going with Fahrenheit + Wildcat's Revenge. Fahrenheit is a really fun ride with a mix of airtime and inversions. Wildcat's Revenge is a fantastic RMC from start to finish, and my new #3 RMC!
2. King's Dominion's combo made the trip to Virginia. Twisted Timbers is really fun and I305 is insane. It's everything I wish Skyrush was: smooth, longer, better restraints, good in every row, and not a boring ending (still not fantastic with those trims, but yeah)
1. CP with Maverick + Steel Vengeance is nuts. I think SteVe is better but Maverick night ride in the front is one of my favorite rides ever. SteVe isn't the best paced RMC, but the length just makes it awesome! TT2 might be a great option if it were open...
Love how Taylor and Sarah are wearing RMC (iron gwazi) and Intamin (millennium force) shirts 😂
8:50 airtime thrills yelling and smashing his keyboard
SV and Millennium Force are my fav one two punch!!!
I wasn’t sure that Great America would make the cut, but as a huge American Eagle fan- I’m glad it did! I always ride those two when I visit!
Haven’t been to Energylandia so can’t comment there, but Vengeance/Maverick still blows Skyrush/Wildcat out of the water for me.
SteVe is probably the best coaster of the 4. But I'd put both Skyrush and Wildcat signifigantly above anything else at CP. Grant it I'm just not too high on Intaminnat CP in general, Maverick is too much about the launch, Millie is a monorail after the drop, and the others are in the dustbin of history.
I’d agree, wildcats revenge is pretty amazing but u still feel like Cedar Points combo individually beats out the either Skyrush or Wildcats Revenge. Even though I love Hersheypark.
@@urbex_coastersMaverick isn’t just about the launch. Lol. The hill throws you over so fast and is intense. It’s revered by many as the best ride at CP or the best Intamin ever. Until Velocacoaster came along.
The twist and turns are awesome. Also the launch is amazing as well.
Top Thrill Dragster was literally about the launch.
Calling Millennium Force a monorail after it’s first drop is just an idiotic statement. It was the first Giga coaster. And it has great airtime. It’s an amazing ride still. The airtime hills are fantastic and the long bank turns at that speed are very fun.
@@bartsimpson8002 yeah Maverick does everything well, and is a decently long ride. I would dare say it’s underrated these days. A few years ago it started being the hip thing to do to discredit Cedar Point. I get that they have flaws and haven’t really pushed any boundaries in over a decade, but from a coaster stand point, their lineup as a whole is untouchable to me.
@@urbex_coasters Personally I think Wildcat is overrated for what it is. Still a great coaster, but 6th best RMC hybrid I’ve been on. Maverick does everything well, speed, airtime, lateral forces, snappy transitions, and it’s actually a decently long ride experience with the pause in the middle. And it’s still quite unique. Calling Millennium a monorail discredits the sustained speed it provides. Sure it’s been passed by and isn’t all that forceful, but the one thing it is intended to do it does at an elite level. It’s still one of my favorite night rides.
I haven’t been on TT2 yet, but does that ride surpass Maverick? Which makes CP even more worthy of the Number 1 spot!
Top thrill 2 wasn’t done by intamin so I don’t think that would count even though the original one was intamin Zamperla did the new layout
Just got to energylandia late yesterday. Zadra’s pacing was amazing. Getting a back staged tour of Hyperion today so after’s today visit I will have my thoughts on which is better. The top 4 pairs are all great.
Out of the parks I've been to -
1. KD
2. GrAdv
3. SFNE
4. BGT
Cheetah Hunt is underrated. No, it’s not Hyperion or Maverick, but it’s so much fun and one I really enjoy. It’s very re-rideable unlike some of them that are so intense it’s a one and done, although great.
I do wish Busch would have done more airtime and another inversion on cheetah hunt!
I’ve only been to one of these parks, that being Energylandia, and both Zadra and Hyperion are so insane that it was hard to choose a favourite! (Overall, I chose Zadra because it was mental but Hyperion is awesome too!)
pretty fair ranking, now we just need an RMC at Islands of adventure to crown a new #1 :P
RMC hulk!! 😂😂
Seeing RMC be able to adapt to the theme of fire in the hole, it is interesting to imagine RMC’s attempt of Hagrids
lmaooo
The shirts 😂 was this planned??
Cheetah Hunt is one of the best rides in the world. It is themed to the Cheetah run next to it, the only live Cheetah exhibit in the world that has Cheetahs racing down a track. Then the ride itself is themed to that, with its quick and multiple LSM launches and twisting terrain. Yes it doesn't have inversions and airtime hills. It's not supposed to. You really missed the boat if you don't enjoy this ride.
I used to be a major American Eagle fanboy, but it doesn’t hit like it used to. I might actually put Vertical Velocity ahead of it nowadays
Coaster365 punching the air rn
They actually had me guess this list in person, so I was prepared 😂. SFNE should at least be #6 😛
@@coaster365 😂
Gotta be a homer: HersheyPark for sure because I’ve never done zadra or Hyperion but man you could even switch out skyrush for storm runner with wildcat’s revenge and have an epic 1-2 punch
When I saw the title, I instantly know that you're top pick would be mine! Admittedly, I wasn't quite as smitten with Hyperion as most enthusiasts seem to be, but it's still a great coaster. But Zadra blows everything else out of the water.
Love to See Energylandia getting a nod. Being European i haven't done the US ones ,but Zadra and Hyperion are a crazy good 1-2 and easily beat Out other great double headers Like FLY+Taron or Kärnan+Novgorod for me
Live in Orlando. Traveled to a ton of places the last couple years....still haven't done iron gwazi 😂
This was a cool video idea! Number 1 was a given, but in my head i'd have swapped 2 and 3. My two favourite manufacturers!
Calling Goliath a short ride 1:45 while your wearing the ultimate short ride shirt Gwazi is only 5 seconds longer 1:50
I knew Hyperion had some hype but I didnt know it was enough to give the 1 seed with Zadra. I called Wildcat and Skyrush at 2 tho
Riding Hyperion tomorrow, rode Zadra today as my 500th Credit and it's my #3 RMC.
I LOVE Untamed and Goliath
This is my first time hearing your Twisted Colossus hate and I WILL NOT HAVE IT.
TC is by far my favorite ride. It's incredible. (I havent been on Steel Vengeance yet but still)
I went to energylandia last week and rode both front row in the morning and near the back on both in the late afternoon and the difference is absolute absurd, they both gain so much speed over the day
Great video, I love 1-2 punch rankings!
So heres a new video idea: best 1-2 punches from countries you've been to. Firstly, it would be a cool recap of all the countries (I believe it should be above 25) you have been to, secondly I would be great to see you pick your favourite coasters of, e.g. Germany and lastly, Combos like RtH and Kondaa, Piraten and Fønix, Nemesis and Hyperia and Shambala and GCE just HAVE to be mentioned. You could also only do this with european/non-european countries.
Keep up the good work!
5:SFGA
4:SFNE
3:Hershey
2:Energylandia
1:Cedar Point
Kings Dominion tho
Kings dominion is on par with cedar point tbh, if im not going from my opinion i305 CARRIES and twitim is ASS
I’d have to have my Intamin-RMC 1,2 punch at Hersheypark be Wildcats Revenge and Stormrunner. That hydraulic launch and double snake dive inversion is chefs kiss. Plus, how can you not love “Get Ready. Here we Go!” 😅 I would agree with all of your other rankings though!
Any two rides can be considered a 1-2 punch. Thats why I am so high on the Intamin gyro swing. us needs one
Love the video! Now to a 1-2 punch for Pinfari and Old Vekoma
Not the next video I expected! But I am super happy about it!!! Plus I guessed the full top 5!
Really good rankings! I’d love to see you try and rank coaster manufacturers. It may need some tiering (similar to your award videos), but would be really interesting to see.
What do you think about top thrill 2 still being closed and do you think they should have went with intamin?
I only did first place and yes Zadra and Hyperion are amazing rides and the best 1-2 Punch in Europe in my opinion. I still have to go to the states
Still begging you to do a top ten parks with the best coaster lineups video!
I’ve done 5 of these combos and here’s how I’d rank them.
5. New England - Fantastic combo but I find Superman to be a bit of a weaker link to Wicked Cyclone and I love them both but for me neither are top 10 worthy.
4. Great Adventure - Jersey Devil is weaker than either of the top 2 at New England but El Toro rams Wicked Cyclone & Superman so it’s higher for me since El Toro is in my top 5.
3. Hersheypark - Both Wildcat’s Revenge & Skyrush are in my top 10 but neither are in my top 5 unlike both of the next spots have at least 1 in my top 5.
2. Kings Dominion - I305 is my #3 coaster and Twisted Timbers is just outside my top 5 and hot take, I like both of these coasters more than Skyrush & Wildcats Revenge. This is an incredible top 2 but #1 is just better IMO.
1. Cedar Point - SteVe is my #1 and Maverick is my #5 so it was a pretty easy choice for me.
I’ll rank each of these coasters real quick.
10. Jersey Devil (my overall #25)
9. Superman: The Ride (my overall #20)
8. Wicked Cyclone (my overall #13)
7. Skyrush (my overall #10)
6. Wildcats Revenge (my overall #9)
5. Twisted Timbers (my overall #7)
4. Maverick (my overall #5)
3. El Toro (my overall #4)
2. I305 (my overall #3)
1. Steel Vengeance (my overall #1)
I agree with your ordering of these as pairs although I think Cheetah Hunt at BG is underrated. It's not the most intense, and I agree the shoulder restraints are overkill. However, it launches you up to 60 mph, and you do get a lot of airtime before each figure 8 and other hills. But most importantly, how Intamin and BG built the theming into the ride experience is brilliant. The train is a Cheetah; The launches sound like Cheetah growls. When you're approaching the figure 8s, it feels like a cheetah running before pouncing on something in a tree or on a plateau where the ride slows to a crawl briefly and hops back down. When the ride bounces back and forth through the creek area, it's exactly how a cheetah runs between the banks. Of course, the sights are incredible along the way with views of the Serengeti area. It's a great immersive experience if theming and ride experience are more highly prioritized variables.
Really great video. Went to Hersey literally a week ago and still forgot about it. Unfortunately I only got one ride on wildcat’s and it was in the morning but I got like 8 rides on skyrush and it might be my favorite coaster. It’s so surprising how many there are though, I was thinking at most like five one two punches.
A) Has Skyrush improved with new restraints?
B) Now I wanna know if Hyperion is better than Hyperia.
C) I'ma let you finish, but Maverick has the strongest single airtime moment at Cedar Point.
Skyrush+wcr on top
Hyperia is like the Mack version of Goliath at SFGA
I have been to KD and Hershey and there 1-2 punch is pretty awesome. I have never been to EL but after seeing the POV’s of those two rides I agree with them taking the top spot. The only one for debate in my mind is putting CP at the two spot. Just my 2 cents.
the best one is the cedar fair think tank. intamin punches them, then rmc. now cedar fair wants to work with neither in spite of them producing their parks best rides.
Zadra and Hyperion are just insane
Im still waiting on that intamin documentary ...
I feel like SFDK deserves a spot on this list because of Joker and Flash Vertical Velocity.
When Walibi Belgium gets Loup Garou RMC’d this list shall be updated with Kondaa and RMC Loup Garou
imagine if iron gwazi was in islands with the same level of themeing as velocicoaster and hagrids 👀. heat park
That’s so crazy how there are at least 10 parks that have an Intamin and an RMC in one park
Yo I love this channel so much
imagine knotts berry farm not getting a rmc but some random ahh park in the middle of nowhere thats very ghetto gets 15 rmcs 💀
SoCal native and WW might be the best coaster at SFMM man but if saying they don’t compare to other single rail that make my Restraints Lock 😅 if u catch my drift
I very much agree with hershey being over cedar point. Even though i think steve is better than skyrush and wildcats revenge, i feel like maverick kinda brings it down and lets hershey shine above
Agree! Zadra and Hyperion I could ride them nonstop. If only their queue lines are less ridiculous
I want to see Parque Warner Madrid in the list soon
okay what about a 1-2 punch for parks in the same state ? so like a lot of peoples #1 would probs be ohio (cedar point & kings island) but there’s also kings dominion & bgw, universal & bgt etc. you could do it with european countries too
I would love to see a documentary about intamin. 🥺🙏 Please. I would also love to see a B&M and some other manufacturer 1-2 punch list. Im curious to see what you would come up with. Or maybe like a thrill ride and themed ride 1-2 punch list.
The Cedar Fair special: B&M and GCI
@@DoomPlague yeah that would be great
I agree with this list! Great video 🎢
Ranking the ones on this list I've done
6. BGT
5. Hershey
4. Walibi Holland
3. SF Gadv
2. KD
1. Cedar Point
I enjoy cheetah hunt. It’s a fun ride. Though if BGT had a 1-2 punch for intensity, it would be iron gwazi and montu
I think maybe cp over hershey. Can't speak to energylandia. But everyone has a different opinion and what they like in a coaster. Some people would put millie over maverick and have that duo #1 or 2. If you prefer airtime steve is the best rmc, if you want more positive gs and laterals than gwazi or wildcats revenge may be your top rmc.
