    Goliath at Six Flags over Georgia is my favorite B&M hyper that I've ridden, and I agree with you on what a great coaster it is. I purchased a season pass to SFOG (since it's one of the 4 closest parks to where I live) back in May, so I've enjoyed several rides on Goliath over the past few months. I love so many things about this coaster, most notably how relentless and aggressive it is for a B&M hyper -- it never lets up. Its first two drops are great (especially the second one), it has great pacing, it has a great variety of so much air time, the downward helix is insane. Last weekend, after spending a few hours getting 14 rides on ArieForce One, I went to SFOG just to ride Goliath and Twisted Cyclone. I walked on Goliath as soon as I entered the park. Then I walked on Twisted Cyclone right after that. While on Twisted Cyclone's brake-run, all the coasters were closing due to inclement weather approaching. So, I left the park and headed home. BUT I was still very satisfied with getting my one ride on each coaster, especially Goliath. It's fairly rare that I actually gray out on a roller coaster, but I certainly have during the majority of my rides on Goliath. I don't know what it was about the one ride I had on it last weekend, but I grayed out the most intensely I ever have on a roller coaster going through the helix. I wasn't expecting that. Maybe it didn't help that I had just spent four hours at Fun Spot in 90 plus degree weather riding ArieForce One before I hopped on Goliath in the same 90 plus degree weather. I'm also a big fan of Copperhead Strike. I ride it pretty regularly since Carowinds is another one of my 4 closest parks. I always have a lot of fun riding Copperhead Strike. For me, it's just one of those all-around fun coasters. Thunderhead was my favorite GCI until I rode Mystic Timbers last month. I wasn't as crazy about it as so many enthusiasts are, but it is a great coaster (although I do think it gets a bit too much credit).

Also X2 is easily better than twisted colossus making TC the 2nd best ride in the park.

    Just got back from 4 rides on Boulder Dash (3 in front, final ride in the back, with time in between to let it warm up.) Ride #3 in the front had the best mix of forces while staying smooth. Ride #4 in the back was an violent, unhinged ejector death machine that left me speechless . I liked the Titan Track section, might want to see them add a few hundred feet in the one remaining trouble spot, just do NOT touch the finale. New trains (ANYTHING other than the PTCs) would be appreciated by the tall among us.

    Well just done the west coast (lagoon and silverwood included) and man am i glad all the coasters so far are outside of the top 25. I think i only have done 2 that could be good enough to make it in there (Goliath in magic mountain was a condidate one of but i could only ride it once so not enough to say if it was just good or an excellent ride). And the US is suppose to be the premiere country of elite coasters. Now lets see if emperor in San diego makes the top 25. It was actually the only coaster i did that really impressed me (then again i haven't ridden that many floorless B&M's of the type this one is on me second spot).
    Not wanting to complain about the coasters in your home state Marc, there plenty of good ones just a bit sad that i only can think of 2 coasters that impressed me, and just 1 of them is good enough to be considered really excellent. The other one was the gerstlauer at knotts. I still think its sort of a new style for them cause it didn't feel like "the classical" Gerstlauer experience. Still considering some pretty good we have in europe this one was defently not the best one but for the brand defently still a top coaster for the brand.

    It's tough comparing Twisted Colossus to Ghostrider, especially if sometimes there are coasters in between because they're as good like weaker B&M gigas I've ridden like Leviathan and Orion and weaker B&M hypers I've ridden like Nitro which are still excellent coasters too, as opposed to better gigas I've ridden like Fury 325 and better hypers I've ridden like Diamondback, Behemoth, Raging Bull, assuming they're all back car rides except Fury 325 which is best in the front. My only quibble is that Diamondback is missing from this list. Other than that: thanks for posting: Cheers!

    I'll be straight honest, I think that Twisted Colossus is heavily overrated. It did nearly nothing for me and I, unfortunately, never got a proper duel. I got to ride it in the afternoon and sunset in the front and back, and it was good in the back, but not something that I thought was amazing. As of today, I only have 23 credits, but this ride isn't in my top 3. I feel like Twisted Cyclone and Goliath (SFOG) are both better than this ride by a mile.
    That's just my thoughts on it though. I may have had a bad experience. Though i think that I had a pretty good feel of it.
    As always, looking forward to your videos, Marc. And especially these next few! I'd love to see where you rank ArieForce One. 😁❤️

    The only thing I disagree with ishow low Ravine Flyer II is on yours and, really, most any other enthusiast's list. I've ridden the large Gravity Group coasters in the US and it's easily my favorite. Granted, this may have to do with upkeep and timing ofwhen I rode the others.
    I rode Boardwalk Bullet in 2009 and it was fun but way too rough, especially for being only two years old.
    I rode Voyage in 2014 and, again, fun but rough. Not as bad as others in my group claimed, but still hardly top 5 worthy.
    I rode Hades 360 in 2019 and I loved it. Rough. But not nearly as bad as I had heard. Top 10 wood worthy.
    But RFII just did something for me. I've noticed though in watching and reading these types of lists that sometimes there's an oddball coaster that people connect with. Others are like, "yeah-- it was good, but not THAT good"
    Anyway, keep up the good work, Dash!
