@@william_coasters You have a point. Without DInn there wouldn’t have been so many bad woodies in need of the hybrid treatment. A few RMC’s were DInn coasters, right?
@@troyvsc actually only 3 of the 10 were RMCd, irat was from RCCA hurler was from the company that made 2 hurlrs and said bye and the rest where CCI, intamin, GCI or Vekoma
I would honestly put Arrow number 1 on my list of favorite manufacturers. Nearly every coaster model stemmed from something arrow did, and they were by far the most influential manufacturers (a lot of their rides are just awesome too)
@@AirtimeThrills Arrow was an innovator in its day. I'd compare them to what they did, with engineers like Ron Toomer, to B&M today. Seems there's not a lot THEY can't do on this day and age!!!
@@AirtimeThrills Arrow and PTC made *all* the coasters I had ridden before I really got into coasters. The two American titans of the pre-Coaster-Wars era, utterly dominating steel and wood respectively.
Best and favorite are different. I think most people concede for those reasons and several more, B&M is by a mile the best. However, they aren’t personally my favorite because their rides aren’t as wild as I usually prefer
@@Cje_-yj8ov Same. B&Ms are good in terms of reliability but for me they personally don't have the force I expect and want out of my roller coasters and I am comfortable not riding them that often. On the other hand a trip to CP wouldn't be the same for me without a ride on Steel Vengeance/Maverick/Dragster/Millennium Force and each time I'm in the park I want to go on those rides and don't really care about the rest nearly as much.
I just spent all day at Alton Towers and all I can think is holy shit I love B&M, Nemesis is as old as I am and still incredibly smooth. It and Oblivion put the much newer Smiler to shame in that department IMO. Their Intamins were hilariously unreliable today too... GCI's Wicker Man is fun too. But the B&Ms are killer.
Honestly, I like Galactica the most of the three b&m probably. I absolutely love wickerman and smiler the best tho, nemesis is super intense but not for me, I’m a sucker for inversions and speed
Smiler and Wicker Man are my favourite coasters at Alton Towers. Galactica is also great. But I got a terrible ride of Nemesis so I'm not a fan. Thorpe Park also has some good rides in Saw, Nemesis Inferno, Stealth and Swarm.
i think that personally the smiler is the best in the park, followed closely by nemesis, then oblivion, wickerman and the others however all the b&ms there are really fantastic. as you said, all of them are still very smooth and they have aged quite a bit better compared to the smiler which can be rough, occasionally, depending on the weather... and how its feeling that day.. smiler is really inconsistent and thats the worst thing about it but for me i dont mind roughness unless its REALLY bad which ive never experienced on any of them at alton, and i really enjoyed smiler
@@Sarcastrophe098 Wasn't their last coaster the T-Express? But damn, the Intamin prefab-woodies were excellent. I only rode Balder in Liseberg (Sweden), but if that is good enough to gauge the rest, I would say they are the best woodies, or at least the smoothest, due to their strong tracks. The 70-degree drop on Balder was pretty good, and the intensity was moderate. For being such a short ride, it definitely packs a punch. While I don't have that many coasters on my list, I would definitely say that Thundercoaster over at Tusenfryd (Norway) is a much more intense ride. This Vekoma made woodie is quite the handful, with a ton of air-time packed in a tiny footprint. It is definitely rougher than Balder, but that is the charm of a traditional woodie.
My favorite is definitely intamin. I love maverick, toro, millennium force, and basically all of their rides that I’ve ridden, and they’re super innovative
With 79 credits, my ranking is going to be very weird. Most manufacturers on this list can and will change drastically in the future. 10. Maurer Rides (Coasters ridden: 2) - This is a weird spot as the only standout here is Rip Ride Rockit, which ranks #23. However, the other manufacturers' standouts rank lower, while the ones with more coasters all those coasters rank low. This spot will definitely be given away soon to Gravity Group, PTC, or Schwarzkopf. Other coasters: Go Bananas! 9. Premier Rides (Coasters ridden: 2) - I love launch coasters, so I look forward to riding more from Premier, including the new Ice Breaker coming soon. So far, I've ridden Revenge of the Mummy and Tigris, which are both in my top 30. 8. Great Coasters International (GCI) (Coasters ridden: 2) - The manufacturer of the coaster that started my love for them: White Lightning, my original favorite coaster. It has since fallen to a respectable #14, with Thunderhead barely ahead at #13. 7. Arrow Dynamics (Coasters ridden: 6) - I have a growing respect for Arrow. I enjoy all 6 of the ones I've ridden so far, with the standouts being Space Mountain and Tennessee Tornado (you can argue that the Disney ones shouldn't count if you want). I have enjoyed the mine trains by them I've ridden so far (Carolina Cyclone and Dahlonega). I look forward to riding their suspended model, as well as Gemini and Magnum (and X2 if I ever get there). Other coasters: Carolina Cyclone, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. 6. Gerstlauer (Coasters ridden: 3) - The types of rides Gerstlauer makes has me interested. So far, the 3 I've ridden have all been very good rides, with Mystery Mine at #11, Dare Devil Dive in my top 30, and FireChaser Express not much further. 5. Mack Rides (Coasters ridden: 6) - I am very interested on what Mack has in store for us in the future. Copperhead Strike ranks #10 on my list. Journey to Atlantis is in my top 30. The others I've ridden are ranked lower, but they were still good rides, and I look forward to seeing more of these pop up in the US. Dollywood extreme spinner 2022? Other coasters: Slinky Dog Dash, Sand Serpent, Cobra's Curse, Great Lego Race. 4. Intamin (Coasters ridden: 3) - I've only scratched the surface as to the great Intamins out there, and I only expect them to rank higher in the future. One Intamin is in my top 10 at #7 (Hagrid's) and another in my top 15 (Cheetah Hunt). Escape from Gringotts is the only other one I've ridden. Really looking forward to riding VelociCoaster, Pantheon, and other Intamins further away from me in the future. 3. Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) (Coasters ridden: 2) - I've only ridden 2 RMCs so far, but they were so good. My opinion of them will rise as I get to ride more of them in the future. I hope to ride Storm Chaser soon as well as Iron Gwazi and Fun Spot Atlanta's RMC when they open, and hopefully an RMC Cheetah. 👀 The two RMCs I've ridden rank at #2 (Lightning Rod) and #8 (Twisted Cyclone). 2. Vekoma (Coasters ridden: 16) - The manufacturer with the most coasters I've ridden from takes #2. Many of these are family coasters, but their standouts are really good, and it's the quantity of the others that lets Vekoma take #2, though another RMC and it'll be higher. There are no Vekomas in my top 10, but my top 20 has 3 (Expedition Everest, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Nighthawk). I know the Disney coasters are mostly created by the Imagineers, but Vekoma still manufactured them. I have ridden 2 boomerangs (Boomerang at Wild Adventures and Flying Cobras) and 1 SLC (Twisted Typhoon) by them so far, and they were actually really fun. I'd also like to mention the coaster I've ridden the most times, Freedom Flyer, an SFC, currently at #49. Other coasters: Dragon, Swamp Thing, Flying School, Outpost Express, Barnstormer, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Flight of the Hippogriff, Dragonflier, Blue Hawk. 1. Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) (Coasters ridden: 15) - At this point, it's no contest. Compared to other manufacturers (excluding Vekoma), I have ridden many more B&Ms. They make some incredible rides, especially their hypercoasters, which make up 4 of my top 5 (Fury, which is #1, Goliath, Intimidator, Mako) as well as 2 others (Manta and Incredible Hulk) in my top 10. Even my least favorite B&M, Vortex, at #48, is still a decent ride (minus the moderate headbanging). Some run rough with a rattle after some time, but most are very smooth, at least in the front. Intamin and RMC have a great chance at taking #1 in the future, but right now it isn't even close. Other coasters: Kumba, Montu, Kraken, Wild Eagle, Batman The Ride, Superman Ultimate Flight, Scorcher, Afterburn.
1) Intamin 2) B&M 3) RMC 4) GCI 5) Arrow Considering the coasters I've ridden Intamin is my favorite because they like to shake things up and push the envelope further. They generally aren't as consistent as B&M but I admire how they aren't afraid to take risks even if the results may vary. B&Ms follow more of a close formula (that definitely works) but you moreso know what to expect.
Right now B&M is my favorite. After doing my first hyper coaster Mako at SeaWorld recently, I really like them. Plus some of my favorite coasters are made by them. Hulk, Kraken, and Manta.
I think RMC is a blessing for the coaster world. Reviving dead wooden coasters. Making horrible to bad coasters go back to being good to great. I've never ridden an RMC but hearing so much about them makes me want to try riding one because I hate rough rides so the fact that they make rough rides smooth again and improves their layout on top of that makes me want to try one.
I finally got to ride 2 of them in the last 2 years (Steel Vengeance and Twisted Timbers). Go find one, they are as good as advertised. Such a great mix of both major intensity and glass smoothness. Never a dull moment.
I'd say RMC is my current favorite roller coaster manufacturer, with Intamin being second and B&M third. I've ridden only one of their coasters at this point though, that being Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point. I'm happy that RMC finally came to one of my home parks (and my favorite) to save Mean Streak and turn it into my favorite ride at CP. (Tied with Millennium Force)
I have been on Zadra in Energylandia in Poland. I don't really know what happend it was just so good. If you want airtime, RMC have it. If you want speed, RMC have it. If you want hangtime, RMC have it. It is perfect manufature for everyone. I really hope you will get the experience with RMC one time.
For me the best is B&M. Even though their coasters aren’t intamin level intensity, they are very reliable and everybody can enjoy them. Both GP and Enthusiasts love their rides
Just rode Candymonium at Hershey Park last week and it was the smoothest coaster I've ever been on. Really enjoyed it, pretty much the hyper equivalent to fury 325, it's probably my top ride in the park
For the coaster addict, RMC all the way. Absolutely. However, if my livelihood is dependant on the coaster's capacity and uptime, butts in the seats again and again without the rider feeling fatigued, I am not buying anything but an B&M, the "Toyota" of coaster manufacturers. The only one I have seen that has issues is Gatekeeper at Cedar Point which believe has had the lift chain fail more than once. Beyond that, B&M's do nothing but run and are designed at extra cost to ensure a higher capacity with the stop zone setup. They are less intense which makes them reridable, even by the GP. Much of the observation of B&M's not being popular is how sometimes the lines are relatively short but I believe this is a result of how quickly rideops can move the three trains along on a typical B&M. I also only have to train my staff once. If you can operate one B&M you can operate them all.
B&M is my favorite steel manufacturer. They have a nice variety of roller coaster models, the rides are built to last and they're very smooth and enjoyable to experience. Even their roughest rides aren't that bad. Intamin is close but I put them at second as a few of their rides are a bit unreliable. I haven't ridden enough RMC or Gravity Group rides to give them a fair judgement so for now my favorite wooden manufacturer is GCI as I love the laterals on a lot of their rides, most of them are pretty smooth for wooden roller coasters and the turns and maneuvers on them are unbelievable.
Best for me is probably Intimin because I've ridden the most full size coasters of theirs vs anything else and Millennium Force is one of my all time favorite coasters.
I like this list however, I would switch the top 2. For me, B&M have the most GP friendly thrill rides. If I were running a park, I would make a B&M a priority. Living in Ca, I have seen The Joker, Twisted Colossus, and even Rail Blazer from the Highway but have yet to ride them. Looking forward to seeing the new RMC at SFMM.
Velocicoaster nearly tied Intamin for my top spot. Now, I think comparing Emporer to Pantheon broke that tie, and Intamin is my #1. RMC is fantastic, but their portfolio is too small for me to put them above B&M and Intamin.
Trust me here in Europe, gerslauer is a top three manufacturer and are most definitely NOT overrated here especially with rides like saw the ride, karnan, fluk von novgorod and the smiler all of which I can say from experience (and rage at adventure pier)
Can't wait for the worst ride manufacturer vekoma and dinn are gonna be in the list vekoma makes lame and rough rides their flying dutchman are a poor man's version of a b&m flyer even though it's older and they're similar to arrow
I knew that RMC would come out on top. All of their American Creations are in your top 50 (I dont know about jersey devil) so it was a easy pick! The two RMC’s that ive ridden are Lightning Rod and Twisted Cyclone, and both are in my top 10. Keep it up Chris!
I know you ranked this based on a POV from the US but I miss S&S (Eejanaika and Do-Dodonpa) and Vekoma (Abyssus and Lech Coaster) on this list. And I would have put Mack Rides and Gerstlauer higher up.
Give Jersey Devil another chance. It is running faster right of the lift, and the mid course has been made almost non existent. The changes RMC made in August made a HUGE difference.
I can with 100% confidence say that F.L.Y alone could be reason enough for Chris to put Vekoma in the Top 10. I really hope he gets the chance to ride it ASAP.
@@XboxgamerZ that's not the general consensus but glad you like it and no I hope we get all types of rides don't know why you guys are so annoyed with us focusing on thrill more
Love your videos. I think its all in the eye of Beholder, I like Arrow the most, then B&M, CCI, and GCI. I kinda have a special spot for CCI as the ONLY coaster my wife has ridden ( she grew up in the south of France, no coasters there ) that she actually liked was Hoosier Hurricane which was a CCI ( had no Interest in Cornball ), she rode that thing like 11 times in a Row, so for me its CCI despite it not being my faves. Love your list tho, its really good
Good video and great list. One thing I have never been a fan of is the clam shell restraints on B&M coasters. Back in 2019, I had to do the walk of shame on Diamondback at KI. It was so embarrassing! To wait and line and not being able to fit, was so heart breaking. I’ve actually seen it happen to other folks smaller than me, but they have big thighs and a big rear. After that experience in 2019, I said, never again! So I lost some weight and I fit on Diamondback, Orion, and Mako last year. Still those restraints are not comfortable to me. I know they’re not there for my comfort, but for safety.
I have very similar taste. Steel Vengeance and Wicked Cyclone are both in my top 5. I have Superman the Ride very high, and I love my B&M's, including dive coasters - I can't wait for you to ride Yukon Striker! It's at my home park!
After riding intimidator 305 Intamin is my favorite. I grew up with the cedar point intamins and intimidator made me realize just how crazy they can get. The always take chances.
jersey devil is the only rmc i've ever ridden, and its my favorite coaster. I got a trimless back row night ride, so that is like the peak experience. If that is the worst rmc, i cant even imaging how good steve or gwazi would be
I agree with the B&M > Intamin, which is probably pretty unpopular among enthusiasts. For me, Fury is just too good, and B&M just has a higher consistent quality. Apart from their very earliest work, you're just never going to get on a bad B&M. You get on something they built and you know you're going to have a good time. Their rides have high capacity, good reliability, and most importantly are just plain fun.
My Rankings Of Coaster Manufacturers 10 Mack Rides 9 Premier Rides 8 CCI 7 Gerstlauer 6 Arrow Dynamics (Not Including Influence Just Coasters) 5 Gravity Group 4 GCI 3 B&M 2 Intamin AND THE BEST MANUFACTURER IN MY OPINION 1 RCCA
For me: 1. RMC- 15 credits- Every one in my Top 50/100 2. Intamin -24 credits- 7 in my Top 50. 11 in Top 100. 3. B&M- 51 credits- 10 in my Top 50. 28 in my Top 100. 4.

Chance/Morgan- 6 credits 3 in my Top 50/100
For me its a tie between intamin and B&M for one stupid reason. I love Islands of Adventure, and it has 2 of my favorite rollercoasters. Velocicoaster and Incredible Hulk! (Rest in peace Dueling Dragons, you will be missed)
Putting Arrow at 5 has done my head in. I mean I love X as much as the next guy (I rode it before and after the changes and I will always call it just X), but Magnum is severely overrated and ALL their other hypers are duds. All. Their loopers are almost 100% bad except for Tennessee Tornado. If anything, the best thing they ever did was suspended coasters, that's for sure. I'd take Mack over Arrow any day, but I do understand you are only going by American rides, so, fair enough to ya.
@@AirtimeThrills I am at 503 coasters so I consider myself an enthusiast, and Magnum is "ok" in the front seat, only because of the return run, but I mean overrated when I see how high it places vs much, much better coasters. In the back, even in 2001, it was awful and had no airtime at all. But thankfully no where near as rough as Desperado. Of course this is all just subjective opinion and I respect yours also.
I also think that Gerstlauer is overrated. I literally don't understand why they are rated so highly tbh. They make good coasters, don't get me wrong, but nothing mind blowing.
Considering B&M and RMC both are amazing at what they do and definitely have amazing rides that rank very high on my list, I'd still have to say Intamin is my favorite. Intamin have always wanted to do unique and different things and weren't afraid of failing or having problems with their rides. As an engineer myself I have a lot of respect for them going for ideas that might be hit or miss but when they hit they really hit hard!
The only one I've ridden was Wicked Cyclone, and *that* was sufficient to make RMC my favorite manufacturer and immediately make me want to ride all RMCs. Even though I rode Superman: The Ride (my favorite Intamin and easily my #2 favorite coaster) the same day.
I've never ridden an RMC so I can't rank RMC but my top 5 would be : 5. Mack rides (I've only ridden 2 thrill rides of Mack and they were good, but just not as good as the other ones.) 4. B&M (Their rides are good but none of their work is in my top 10.) 3. GCI (All of the coasters i've ridden from them are in my top 20.) 2. Gerstlauer (I love Kärnan and Anubis the ride.) 1. Intamin Ag (All of the intamins that I've ridden are in my top 20).
Well its been 2 years and i.m from europe (only done about 200 coasters in the states) also i like more high intesity coasters so under these caviates here is my top 10. 1 RMC (they are just to good) 2 intamine 3 B&M (not the best coasters but overall very nice) 4, 5 and 6 are a tie with Vekoma, gerstlauer and Mack (3 years ago Vekoma wouldn't have been a tie it would have been nr 6). 7 Premier rides 8 GCI 9 Arrow 10 Maurer
I like Arrow and Schwarzkopf more than Intamin. The Coaster 'Tornado' in Salitre Magico, Bogota is just really good! It's glass smooth and it's the park's most recent installation. But, this coaster was built in 1983! This also happened with 'Montaña Rusa' (Also in Salitre) is an Arrow corkscrew. Really good coaster, if you ask me. I found it to be really enjoyable. This is not the case with Velocicoaster (Islands of Adventure.) I found it to be rough. So rough that I wanted to throw up. The worst part (for me) was the 2nd launch. I HATE it. It's rough, it's just painful. I live in Colombia, so your opinions may differ.
I've never been to the states so my list is quite different haha. I never ridden a gravity group and just 2 rmc's. The intamins here are a lot better with Taron, Hyperion and Kondaa. 10 Premier rides 9 Maurer Sohne 8 Schwarzkopf 7 Mack rides 6 Vekoma 5 Gerstlauer 4 GCI 3 B&M 2 RMC 1 Intamin
1. Intamin 2. RMC 3. B&M 5. Vekoma 6. Mack, just bcuz of “ride to happines” easily top 5 coaster in the world. 7. GCI 8. Gerslauer 9/10. Pick what u want
Honestly, I am glad Arrow and Vekoma exist. I know they made bad coasters, but if Arrow or Vekoma didn't exist, then Fury 325 wouldn't exist, and our favorite coasters wouldn't exist. Arrow and Vekoma changed the industry, and if I could bring back a manufactuer from the dead, it would be Arrow.
look, I get you dont like vekomen (because well boomerang) but its REALLY good outside america, I've ridden F.L.Y. (my favorite vekoma) and many more and they are just INSANE
If you ever get a chance, and want a laugh at Arrow's expense, there's an OLD youtube video by Theme Park Review with the guys talking on a Japanese Arrow Hyper called Titan, it's hilariously rough! That hyper pretty much sums up to me that Arrows have not aged well, Magnum XL-200 is pretty much the only Arrow I want to ride, as it looks like it rides like a DH Morgan Hyper.
How surprising another coaster enthusiast praising RMC like it’s the Bible and the second coming of crist when intamin has way more variety and complexity. All of RMC while good is the same. The only reason intamin dose not have more coasters is because they make expensive specialized unique coasters.
I predict that Six Flags NE will get a clone of Skyrocket 1 in the place of Goliath and Flashback, or something similar. It will be a launched coaster by Premier, but it will not be a Skyrocket ll as Lake Compounce has one of those, nor will it be a Clone of West Coast Racers As the room is not there. There will be lockers and metal detectors on this ride as it loops over the midway.
I thank you for your video sir. I was just curious your thoughts on the Dr Diabolical Cliffhanger as it being the first in ten years from that company at Six Flags , I think the company is B & M ?
Honestly Mack (in my opinion) is in the top 5 and project exodus coming the Thorpe park looks amazing and if you ride some gerstlauer eurofighters they will ruin your day with their roughness
The Problem is you have only ridden rides in the US European Manufactures have some of their best models in europe. I dont know why you ranked gerstlauer so low, Its one the best.
cyclone specifically was the first "proper" coaster i ever rode? when i saw it close, i was so disappointed - and then wicked cyclone came along and i was explicitly floored. it managed to fill the hole in the heart of losing my first coaster so thoroughly that i can't explain how much i missed being unable to do coasters in 2020 or 2021
Chris you should come to some parks in Europe so you get a better idea of the real top 10 manufacturers, this list is completely US based. I think your top 100 coasters list will also change a lot as a result. Quite sure Untamed belongs in the top 10.
I don’t get why so many people dislike Jersey Devil, I live 40 minutes from six flags great adventure, and whenever we go I ride it first. It is so smooth and has really fun inversions. It also has great airtime.
Honestly B&M is at the top of my list. While RMC is a close second B&Ms are the highest quality rollar coasters on the market. They also have a flawless safety record and minimal downtime
I dont have a top ten but i have top 5, 5 is intamin 4 is premier (west coast racers full throttle and superman ultimate flight were masterpieces 3 arrow, x2 does it alone 2 b&m 1 rmc
Chris loves RMC more than most people love their kids, so I wonder what manufacturer he could have at the top 🤔

I would honestly put Arrow number 1 on my list of favorite manufacturers. Nearly every coaster model stemmed from something arrow did, and they were by far the most influential manufacturers (a lot of their rides are just awesome too)
After riding Tennessee Tornado, I think that (If they didn’t go into bankruptcy) they would be a top manufacturer in the modern coaster era
I tried not to be overly sentimental with my picks, but Arrow would win out if it was about historical significance
They paved the way for sure

I thought that was the standard thought? Unpopular?
Best and favorite are different. I think most people concede for those reasons and several more, B&M is by a mile the best. However, they aren’t personally my favorite because their rides aren’t as wild as I usually prefer
Rerideability depends on the person. I’ve ridden I305 and Skyrush both 14 times in one day. Definitely needed some water, but I did it. Lol.
That is just straight facts
@@Cje_-yj8ov Same. B&Ms are good in terms of reliability but for me they personally don't have the force I expect and want out of my roller coasters and I am comfortable not riding them that often.

I just spent all day at Alton Towers and all I can think is holy shit I love B&M, Nemesis is as old as I am and still incredibly smooth.

Or, Intamin is the Intamin of wooden coasters... 😆
@@fredwardandthebear3192 Intamin hasn’t made a wooden coaster in over a decade
@@Sarcastrophe098 Cool, that's irrelevant. Their few wood coasters are still some of the most praised in the community.

But damn, the Intamin prefab-woodies were excellent. I only rode Balder in Liseberg (Sweden), but if that is good enough to gauge the rest, I would say they are the best woodies, or at least the smoothest, due to their strong tracks. The 70-degree drop on Balder was pretty good, and the intensity was moderate. For being such a short ride, it definitely packs a punch.
While I don't have that many coasters on my list, I would definitely say that Thundercoaster over at Tusenfryd (Norway) is a much more intense ride. This Vekoma made woodie is quite the handful, with a ton of air-time packed in a tiny footprint. It is definitely rougher than Balder, but that is the charm of a traditional woodie.
My favorite is definitely intamin. I love maverick, toro, millennium force, and basically all of their rides that I’ve ridden, and they’re super innovative
With 79 credits, my ranking is going to be very weird. Most manufacturers on this list can and will change drastically in the future.
10. Maurer Rides (Coasters ridden: 2) - This is a weird spot as the only standout here is Rip Ride Rockit, which ranks #23. However, the other manufacturers' standouts rank lower, while the ones with more coasters all those coasters rank low. This spot will definitely be given away soon to Gravity Group, PTC, or Schwarzkopf. Other coasters: Go Bananas!
9. Premier Rides (Coasters ridden: 2) - I love launch coasters, so I look forward to riding more from Premier, including the new Ice Breaker coming soon. So far, I've ridden Revenge of the Mummy and Tigris, which are both in my top 30.
8. Great Coasters International (GCI) (Coasters ridden: 2) - The manufacturer of the coaster that started my love for them: White Lightning, my original favorite coaster. It has since fallen to a respectable #14, with Thunderhead barely ahead at #13.
7. Arrow Dynamics (Coasters ridden: 6) - I have a growing respect for Arrow. I enjoy all 6 of the ones I've ridden so far, with the standouts being Space Mountain and Tennessee Tornado (you can argue that the Disney ones shouldn't count if you want). I have enjoyed the mine trains by them I've ridden so far (Carolina Cyclone and Dahlonega). I look forward to riding their suspended model, as well as Gemini and Magnum (and X2 if I ever get there). Other coasters: Carolina Cyclone, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
6. Gerstlauer (Coasters ridden: 3) - The types of rides Gerstlauer makes has me interested. So far, the 3 I've ridden have all been very good rides, with Mystery Mine at #11, Dare Devil Dive in my top 30, and FireChaser Express not much further.
5. Mack Rides (Coasters ridden: 6) - I am very interested on what Mack has in store for us in the future. Copperhead Strike ranks #10 on my list. Journey to Atlantis is in my top 30. The others I've ridden are ranked lower, but they were still good rides, and I look forward to seeing more of these pop up in the US. Dollywood extreme spinner 2022? Other coasters: Slinky Dog Dash, Sand Serpent, Cobra's Curse, Great Lego Race.
4. Intamin (Coasters ridden: 3) - I've only scratched the surface as to the great Intamins out there, and I only expect them to rank higher in the future. One Intamin is in my top 10 at #7 (Hagrid's) and another in my top 15 (Cheetah Hunt). Escape from Gringotts is the only other one I've ridden. Really looking forward to riding VelociCoaster, Pantheon, and other Intamins further away from me in the future.
3. Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) (Coasters ridden: 2) - I've only ridden 2 RMCs so far, but they were so good. My opinion of them will rise as I get to ride more of them in the future. I hope to ride Storm Chaser soon as well as Iron Gwazi and Fun Spot Atlanta's RMC when they open, and hopefully an RMC Cheetah. 👀 The two RMCs I've ridden rank at #2 (Lightning Rod) and #8 (Twisted Cyclone).
2. Vekoma (Coasters ridden: 16) - The manufacturer with the most coasters I've ridden from takes #2. Many of these are family coasters, but their standouts are really good, and it's the quantity of the others that lets Vekoma take #2, though another RMC and it'll be higher. There are no Vekomas in my top 10, but my top 20 has 3 (Expedition Everest, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Nighthawk). I know the Disney coasters are mostly created by the Imagineers, but Vekoma still manufactured them. I have ridden 2 boomerangs (Boomerang at Wild Adventures and Flying Cobras) and 1 SLC (Twisted Typhoon) by them so far, and they were actually really fun. I'd also like to mention the coaster I've ridden the most times, Freedom Flyer, an SFC, currently at #49. Other coasters: Dragon, Swamp Thing, Flying School, Outpost Express, Barnstormer, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, Flight of the Hippogriff, Dragonflier, Blue Hawk.
1. Bolliger & Mabillard (B&M) (Coasters ridden: 15) - At this point, it's no contest. Compared to other manufacturers (excluding Vekoma), I have ridden many more B&Ms. They make some incredible rides, especially their hypercoasters, which make up 4 of my top 5 (Fury, which is #1, Goliath, Intimidator, Mako) as well as 2 others (Manta and Incredible Hulk) in my top 10. Even my least favorite B&M, Vortex, at #48, is still a decent ride (minus the moderate headbanging). Some run rough with a rattle after some time, but most are very smooth, at least in the front. Intamin and RMC have a great chance at taking #1 in the future, but right now it isn't even close. Other coasters: Kumba, Montu, Kraken, Wild Eagle, Batman The Ride, Superman Ultimate Flight, Scorcher, Afterburn.
1) Intamin 2) B&M 3) RMC 4) GCI 5) Arrow
Considering the coasters I've ridden
Intamin is my favorite because they like to shake things up and push the envelope further. They generally aren't as consistent as B&M but I admire how they aren't afraid to take risks even if the results may vary. B&Ms follow more of a close formula (that definitely works) but you moreso know what to expect.
I‘m glad you found a spot for Mack and Gerstlauer on your ranking, for us Europeans both are top 5 manufacturers
Right now B&M is my favorite. After doing my first hyper coaster Mako at SeaWorld recently, I really like them. Plus some of my favorite coasters are made by them. Hulk, Kraken, and Manta.
Go to sf magic mountain lol
Ditto. Three of my favorites are made by them Kumba, Montu, and Incredible Hulk.
I think RMC is a blessing for the coaster world. Reviving dead wooden coasters. Making horrible to bad coasters go back to being good to great. I've never ridden an RMC but hearing so much about them makes me want to try riding one because I hate rough rides so the fact that they make rough rides smooth again and improves their layout on top of that makes me want to try one.
I finally got to ride 2 of them in the last 2 years (Steel Vengeance and Twisted Timbers). Go find one, they are as good as advertised. Such a great mix of both major intensity and glass smoothness. Never a dull moment.
I'd say RMC is my current favorite roller coaster manufacturer, with Intamin being second and B&M third. I've ridden only one of their coasters at this point though, that being Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point. I'm happy that RMC finally came to one of my home parks (and my favorite) to save Mean Streak and turn it into my favorite ride at CP. (Tied with Millennium Force)
I have been on Zadra in Energylandia in Poland. I don't really know what happend it was just so good. If you want airtime, RMC have it. If you want speed, RMC have it. If you want hangtime, RMC have it. It is perfect manufature for everyone. I really hope you will get the experience with RMC one time.
Tomorrow I, going and I'm gonna ride iron gwazi I'll edit when I've ridden it
How have you not done this video yet? I thought this was an old video when I first saw it 😆
He was busy ranking his favorite elements on every individual ride at Magic Mountain 😆
Seriously, its been on my list forever and just never did it
For me the best is B&M. Even though their coasters aren’t intamin level intensity, they are very reliable and everybody can enjoy them. Both GP and Enthusiasts love their rides
For me even though I’ve only been on two railblazer/ Twissted colossus but I love their ejector and inversions so much
@@510ace3 Railblazer and Twisted Colossus are RMCs not B&Ms.
Ditto. Three of my favorites are made by them. Kumba, Montu, and Incredible Hulk.
@@azyndragon89 I meant to put that my bad
Just rode Candymonium at Hershey Park last week and it was the smoothest coaster I've ever been on. Really enjoyed it, pretty much the hyper equivalent to fury 325, it's probably my top ride in the park
For the coaster addict, RMC all the way. Absolutely. However, if my livelihood is dependant on the coaster's capacity and uptime, butts in the seats again and again without the rider feeling fatigued, I am not buying anything but an B&M, the "Toyota" of coaster manufacturers. The only one I have seen that has issues is Gatekeeper at Cedar Point which believe has had the lift chain fail more than once. Beyond that, B&M's do nothing but run and are designed at extra cost to ensure a higher capacity with the stop zone setup. They are less intense which makes them reridable, even by the GP.
Much of the observation of B&M's not being popular is how sometimes the lines are relatively short but I believe this is a result of how quickly rideops can move the three trains along on a typical B&M. I also only have to train my staff once. If you can operate one B&M you can operate them all.
B&M is my favorite steel manufacturer. They have a nice variety of roller coaster models, the rides are built to last and they're very smooth and enjoyable to experience. Even their roughest rides aren't that bad. Intamin is close but I put them at second as a few of their rides are a bit unreliable. I haven't ridden enough RMC or Gravity Group rides to give them a fair judgement so for now my favorite wooden manufacturer is GCI as I love the laterals on a lot of their rides, most of them are pretty smooth for wooden roller coasters and the turns and maneuvers on them are unbelievable.
Best for me is probably Intimin because I've ridden the most full size coasters of theirs vs anything else and Millennium Force is one of my all time favorite coasters.
WHERE'S VEKOMA ?!!!??!!!??? 😡😡😡😡😡
obviously bro hasn't ridden the new ones
I like this list however, I would switch the top 2. For me, B&M have the most GP friendly thrill rides. If I were running a park, I would make a B&M a priority. Living in Ca, I have seen The Joker, Twisted Colossus, and even Rail Blazer from the Highway but have yet to ride them. Looking forward to seeing the new RMC at SFMM.
Velocicoaster nearly tied Intamin for my top spot. Now, I think comparing Emporer to Pantheon broke that tie, and Intamin is my #1. RMC is fantastic, but their portfolio is too small for me to put them above B&M and Intamin.
If you would have visited Europe, Mack Rides would be much higher on your list.
SFNE needs a top tier B&M to make the trifecta complete. Superman and Wicked Cyclone are two awesome representatives of their manufacturers.
You forgot to mention that Gerstlauer is at some point famous for building The Smiler at Alton Towers
Trust me here in Europe, gerslauer is a top three manufacturer and are most definitely NOT overrated here especially with rides like saw the ride, karnan, fluk von novgorod and the smiler all of which I can say from experience (and rage at adventure pier)
He said all premier coasters are glossy smooth. What about flight of fear at both parks?
Can't wait for the worst ride manufacturer vekoma and dinn are gonna be in the list vekoma makes lame and rough rides their flying dutchman are a poor man's version of a b&m flyer even though it's older and they're similar to arrow
I knew that RMC would come out on top. All of their American Creations are in your top 50 (I dont know about jersey devil) so it was a easy pick! The two RMC’s that ive ridden are Lightning Rod and Twisted Cyclone, and both are in my top 10. Keep it up Chris!
I rode jearsy devil it’s pretty fun
I know you ranked this based on a POV from the US but I miss S&S (Eejanaika and Do-Dodonpa) and Vekoma (Abyssus and Lech Coaster) on this list. And I would have put Mack Rides and Gerstlauer higher up.
Give Jersey Devil another chance. It is running faster right of the lift, and the mid course has been made almost non existent. The changes RMC made in August made a HUGE difference.
I can with 100% confidence say that F.L.Y alone could be reason enough for Chris to put Vekoma in the Top 10.
I really hope he gets the chance to ride it ASAP.
Lol vekoma is number 4, there insane even their new SFC are really good
Too bad their launch coasters aren't as good as we thought
I'm waiting for the Europe trip vlogs. Can't wait to see them
@@deadlylightningspirit4295 lol they are I've done formula ans abyssus recently ;) , I just hope USA gets none so we have something finally
@@XboxgamerZ that's not the general consensus but glad you like it and no I hope we get all types of rides don't know why you guys are so annoyed with us focusing on thrill more
Love your videos. I think its all in the eye of Beholder, I like Arrow the most, then B&M, CCI, and GCI. I kinda have a special spot for CCI as the ONLY coaster my wife has ridden ( she grew up in the south of France, no coasters there ) that she actually liked was Hoosier Hurricane which was a CCI ( had no Interest in Cornball ), she rode that thing like 11 times in a Row, so for me its CCI despite it not being my faves. Love your list tho, its really good
Good video and great list.
One thing I have never been a fan of is the clam shell restraints on B&M coasters. Back in 2019, I had to do the walk of shame on Diamondback at KI. It was so embarrassing! To wait and line and not being able to fit, was so heart breaking. I’ve actually seen it happen to other folks smaller than me, but they have big thighs and a big rear. After that experience in 2019, I said, never again! So I lost some weight and I fit on Diamondback, Orion, and Mako last year. Still those restraints are not comfortable to me. I know they’re not there for my comfort, but for safety.
I have very similar taste. Steel Vengeance and Wicked Cyclone are both in my top 5. I have Superman the Ride very high, and I love my B&M's, including dive coasters - I can't wait for you to ride Yukon Striker! It's at my home park!
You should like the dinn corp because without them we wouldnt have steel vengeance
unpopular opinion but CCI is a top 3 manufacturer for me, only behind Intamin and RMC
After riding intimidator 305 Intamin is my favorite. I grew up with the cedar point intamins and intimidator made me realize just how crazy they can get. The always take chances.
I'm curious what a Top 10 of 'custom' coasters would look like.
Like "in house" coasters?
@@AirtimeThrills That's what I meant, yes.
Where’s rcca? 😂
I haven't even pressed play yet and I know that number 1 will be RMC because everyone puts it as their number 1.
jersey devil is the only rmc i've ever ridden, and its my favorite coaster. I got a trimless back row night ride, so that is like the peak experience. If that is the worst rmc, i cant even imaging how good steve or gwazi would be
Yeah for me its by far the worst so you should love the rest of them
@@AirtimeThrills it’s running fantastic now. Rode it today and it is blazing through the second half.
I dont get why people hate JDC its pretty good with its air time in inversions. And theres never a line. Best coaster at SFGA excluding toro
Its easy, its a raptor without the prototype intensity so it automictically sucks according to the enthusiasts
I actually love Schwarzkopf more then rmc since my number 1: shockwave is above all 6 rmcs in my rankings
love you for that
No love for Dinn, bro?! Without them, there’d be no Steel Vengeance!
Hahaha
Dinn walked so that RMC could run
Intamian is my favorite manufacturer
I agree with the B&M > Intamin, which is probably pretty unpopular among enthusiasts. For me, Fury is just too good, and B&M just has a higher consistent quality. Apart from their very earliest work, you're just never going to get on a bad B&M. You get on something they built and you know you're going to have a good time. Their rides have high capacity, good reliability, and most importantly are just plain fun.
B&M is my favorite manufacturer, and my 2021 trip to Kings Island is the reason why.
My Rankings Of Coaster Manufacturers
10 Mack Rides
9 Premier Rides

AND THE BEST MANUFACTURER IN MY OPINION
1 RCCA
In All Seriousness RMC Is My Favorite To
@Fearless_forever I was just joking RMC is by far the best
WHERE THE F*** IS VEKOMA?😑
Arrow has kinda ugly tracks and trains
Vekoma is the brand that will rise again
Anyone see the hat flying off the ride at 9:49
For me:
1. RMC- 15 credits- Every one in my Top 50/100
2. Intamin -24 credits- 7 in my Top 50. 11 in Top 100.
3. B&M- 51 credits- 10 in my Top 50. 28 in my Top 100.

9. Mack- 15 credits. 2 in my Top 50/100.
10. Chance/Morgan- 6 credits 3 in my Top 50/100
My ranking: Intamin, B&M, Vekoma, RMC, Premier, Arrow, Gerstlauer, S&S, Gravity Group, Mack
For me its a tie between intamin and B&M for one stupid reason. I love Islands of Adventure, and it has 2 of my favorite rollercoasters. Velocicoaster and Incredible Hulk! (Rest in peace Dueling Dragons, you will be missed)
Putting Arrow at 5 has done my head in. I mean I love X as much as the next guy (I rode it before and after the changes and I will always call it just X), but Magnum is severely overrated and ALL their other hypers are duds. All. Their loopers are almost 100% bad except for Tennessee Tornado.
If anything, the best thing they ever did was suspended coasters, that's for sure. I'd take Mack over Arrow any day, but I do understand you are only going by American rides, so, fair enough to ya.
Ive found Magnum to be massively polarizing. I dont see how any enthusiast cant love it, but there's lots of people out there that have that opinion
@@AirtimeThrills I am at 503 coasters so I consider myself an enthusiast, and Magnum is "ok" in the front seat, only because of the return run, but I mean overrated when I see how high it places vs much, much better coasters. In the back, even in 2001, it was awful and had no airtime at all. But thankfully no where near as rough as Desperado. Of course this is all just subjective opinion and I respect yours also.
top 10 worst manufacturers
numbers 10-1 RCCA
They're the worst manufacturer worse than togo and vecoma
Togos the best manufacturer
hmmm, I wonder what #1 is..........
I also think that Gerstlauer is overrated. I literally don't understand why they are rated so highly tbh. They make good coasters, don't get me wrong, but nothing mind blowing.
9:49 someone's sunglasses go flying
Noooooooo not intamin at 3
Putting Mock at 10 is just appalling. For me I’d rank it too 5 💯. When a extreme spinner comes to cedar point everyone will think mock is top 3
My top 6:
6) GCI
5) CCI
4) Gravity Group
3) B&M
2) RMC
1) Intamin
Considering B&M and RMC both are amazing at what they do and definitely have amazing rides that rank very high on my list, I'd still have to say Intamin is my favorite. Intamin have always wanted to do unique and different things and weren't afraid of failing or having problems with their rides. As an engineer myself I have a lot of respect for them going for ideas that might be hit or miss but when they hit they really hit hard!
Being a Jersey resident that works 60+ hours a week I don’t get to vacation a lot, Jersey devil was my first RMC and I was seriously disappointed lol
The only one I've ridden was Wicked Cyclone, and *that* was sufficient to make RMC my favorite manufacturer and immediately make me want to ride all RMCs. Even though I rode Superman: The Ride (my favorite Intamin and easily my #2 favorite coaster) the same day.
I've never ridden an RMC so I can't rank RMC but my top 5 would be : 5. Mack rides (I've only ridden 2 thrill rides of Mack and they were good, but just not as good as the other ones.) 4. B&M (Their rides are good but none of their work is in my top 10.) 3. GCI (All of the coasters i've ridden from them are in my top 20.) 2. Gerstlauer (I love Kärnan and Anubis the ride.) 1. Intamin Ag (All of the intamins that I've ridden are in my top 20).
My favorite used to be Intamin with Incredicoaster before I became a theme park fanatic. But now RMC is my favorite after riding Twisted Colossus
Awesome video!
ngl I've only ridden one RMC but from the one RMC I've ridden I'd easily put them as my favorite manufacturer too
Well its been 2 years and i.m from europe (only done about 200 coasters in the states) also i like more high intesity coasters so under these caviates here is my top 10.
1 RMC (they are just to good)
2 intamine
3 B&M (not the best coasters but overall very nice)
4, 5 and 6 are a tie with Vekoma, gerstlauer and Mack (3 years ago Vekoma wouldn't have been a tie it would have been nr 6).
7 Premier rides
8 GCI
9 Arrow
10 Maurer
I don't think I'm ever going to ride Intimadator 305 because I'm probably going to black out
My top 3 coasters are all made by Intamin, those being:
1. Velocicoaster
2. Maverick
3. Millennium Force
I like Arrow and Schwarzkopf more than Intamin. The Coaster 'Tornado' in Salitre Magico, Bogota is just really good! It's glass smooth and it's the park's most recent installation. But, this coaster was built in 1983! This also happened with 'Montaña Rusa' (Also in Salitre) is an Arrow corkscrew. Really good coaster, if you ask me. I found it to be really enjoyable. This is not the case with Velocicoaster (Islands of Adventure.) I found it to be rough. So rough that I wanted to throw up. The worst part (for me) was the 2nd launch. I HATE it. It's rough, it's just painful. I live in Colombia, so your opinions may differ.
I've never been to the states so my list is quite different haha. I never ridden a gravity group and just 2 rmc's. The intamins here are a lot better with Taron, Hyperion and Kondaa.

Honestly, I am glad Arrow and Vekoma exist. I know they made bad coasters, but if Arrow or Vekoma didn't exist, then Fury 325 wouldn't exist, and our favorite coasters wouldn't exist. Arrow and Vekoma changed the industry, and if I could bring back a manufactuer from the dead, it would be Arrow.
“And some legendary straight track” lol
Where's vekoma
look, I get you dont like vekomen (because well boomerang) but its REALLY good outside america, I've ridden F.L.Y. (my favorite vekoma) and many more and they are just INSANE
My favorite coaster manufacturers are B&M, Vekoma, Intamin, and RMC.
If you ever get a chance, and want a laugh at Arrow's expense, there's an OLD youtube video by Theme Park Review with the guys talking on a Japanese Arrow Hyper called Titan, it's hilariously rough! That hyper pretty much sums up to me that Arrows have not aged well, Magnum XL-200 is pretty much the only Arrow I want to ride, as it looks like it rides like a DH Morgan Hyper.
magnum is legendary, but don’t forget X2 as well
I am not a fan of Premier Rides. Their older coasters are so much better. I absolutely hate Sky Rocket 2s
How surprising another coaster enthusiast praising RMC like it’s the Bible and the second coming of crist when intamin has way more variety and complexity. All of RMC while good is the same. The only reason intamin dose not have more coasters is because they make expensive specialized unique coasters.
i literally only have six manufacturer’s coasters i’ve ridden😔
You MUST visit galaxy land at west Edmonton mall! Mind bender will literally change your fav Schwarzkopf.
I predict that Six Flags NE will get a clone of Skyrocket 1 in the place of Goliath and Flashback, or something similar. It will be a launched coaster by Premier, but it will not be a Skyrocket ll as Lake Compounce has one of those, nor will it be a Clone of West Coast Racers As the room is not there. There will be lockers and metal detectors on this ride as it loops over the midway.
It's only North America, don't care. Put something in your title so people don't come here for nothing maybe?
9:47 RIP That hat
I thank you for your video sir. I was just curious your thoughts on the Dr Diabolical Cliffhanger as it being the first in ten years from that company at Six Flags , I think the company is B & M ?
Honestly Mack (in my opinion) is in the top 5 and project exodus coming the Thorpe park looks amazing and if you ride some gerstlauer eurofighters they will ruin your day with their roughness
My top 5 are Mack, Gerstlauer, Vekoma, Intamin and B&M. I haven't experienced RMC yet :( they aren't too present in Europe sadly
The Problem is you have only ridden rides in the US European Manufactures have some of their best models in europe. I dont know why you ranked gerstlauer so low, Its one the best.
cyclone specifically was the first "proper" coaster i ever rode? when i saw it close, i was so disappointed - and then wicked cyclone came along and i was explicitly floored. it managed to fill the hole in the heart of losing my first coaster so thoroughly that i can't explain how much i missed being unable to do coasters in 2020 or 2021
Chris you should come to some parks in Europe so you get a better idea of the real top 10 manufacturers, this list is completely US based.
I think your top 100 coasters list will also change a lot as a result. Quite sure Untamed belongs in the top 10.
I don’t get why so many people dislike Jersey Devil, I live 40 minutes from six flags great adventure, and whenever we go I ride it first. It is so smooth and has really fun inversions. It also has great airtime.
Honestly B&M is at the top of my list. While RMC is a close second B&Ms are the highest quality rollar coasters on the market. They also have a flawless safety record and minimal downtime
Was instantly thinking "hmm.. probably RMC > B&M > Intamin"... ayeee
Arrow Dynamics is the best. Everyone has something from arrow.
I dont have a top ten but i have top 5,
5 is intamin
4 is premier (west coast racers full throttle and superman ultimate flight were masterpieces
3 arrow, x2 does it alone
2 b&m
1 rmc
