    I completely agree with your top 2. DC Rivals is phenomenal and was my number 1 for so long buy that helix really is a bummer on an otherwise amazing ride. Leviathan completely blew my freaking mind! The fact they finally gave us a quality modern woodie and it was this just makes me feel so grateful. I cannot speak highly enough about Leviathan and I want more coasters to this standard in Australia. Also pleased to report that Leviathan is still very smooth, they actually run annual maintenance 4 times a year on Leviathan which is a crazy amount but if it keeps her well loved I am happy. Glad you enjoyed our parks!

    As someone who lives in Perth, I get why you wouldn't travel, given that the only major coaster we have is a Gerstlauer Eurofighter (the only other roller coaster we have is a standard Zamperla Gravity 80STD). It also makes me delve into my thoughts, thinking that if I had a bottomless pit of money, I'd use the funds to build a theme park in Perth akin to something like Phantasialand regarding theming and attractions. Hell, I'd even put a Vekoma next-gen Flying Coaster there, as well as any coaster by B&M, cause Australia doesn't have any B&M as of when I'm writing this.

    Love to see you guys ranking the greatest coasters in my country and that the gems in my home parks scored high on your list! I also loved how it was both Taylor and Sarah ranking the rides together. To be honest though, if you guys end up riding Superman Escape one day, I reckon it might actually be your favourite in the country (Superman's probably a tie with DC Rivals for me). Leviathan has unfortunately gotten a lot rougher.
    My top 10 list:
    1. DC Rivals Hypercoaster
    2. Superman Escape
    3. Jet Rescue
    4. Steel Taipan
    5. Green Lantern
    6. Leviathan
    7. Storm Coaster
    8. Gold Coaster
    9. Road Runner
    10. Motocoaster
    (I have not ridden Scooby Doo)

    Great video guys. A couple of things. You failed to mention the Wild Mouse coaster at LPS which is down for serious retracking. Given it’s one of only 3 wooden Wild Mouse left it’s a very important ride. Plus it rocks!! It would definitely make your top 10.
    Also Big Dipper Red Train has had new wheels installed from Intamin and the ride is noticeably smoother experience. Thanks for the video!! Great job

  • @MyDogMila-qq5fp

    Incredible video. I will have to go to Australia someday because it looks beautiful 🤩 and dc rivals and leviathan both look amazing. Especially the backwards seats. If Hyperion could do the backwards seat it would be insane. If not that also a spinning seat would also be amazing. It is very unlikely but it would still be awesome. Can you and Sarah do a ranking of the floorless coasters

    3. Steel Taipan
    4. Green Lantern
    5. Storm Coaster
    (That’s all the coasters I’ve done that are actually noteworthy:/)
    DC Rivals needs no introduction. I’m not sure if you ride it on a bad day or not since the footage looks quite windy but it’s your opinion so I respect it.
    Haven’t ridden Leviathan yet but it looks amazing.

The front of the train is definitely 'smoother' than the back for anyone wanting a less intense ride.

    I think a ride like Leviathan (made entirely out of their pre-cut track) would be an amazing fit for Thorpe Park and would be perfect on the island behind The Swarm where they wouldn't have a huge space to work with and they also really badly need another coaster with no inversions and a lower height requirement

    Hey, have you ever thought about a systemised rating system that includes multiple criteria? Much like Doug DeMuro's "Doug" score. Rate each rollercoaster on: || Smoothness || Unpredicatability || Marathon comfort || Harness comfort || Acessibility || Theming || Motion sickness rating || Peak season accessibility (how many times you can ride in a day) || Off-season accessibility || On-park accommodation || Family friendliness || Views from rides || Cleanliness of the park || etc.
    You've done this in reviews... but not systematically across ALL coasters you've ridden... at least on UA-cam.

Before we went I did reaserch of the rides I wanted to ride and I said a couple and one of them was scooby doo, and mum looked at it and she was like that’s going to be lame, and I was like ok then just come with me and the 4 of us when on but the first time we went in line the ride malfunction, so we had to come back later, and when we finally went on, Mum dad and my brother thought it was lame but then when we got up the elevator bit and we turned backwards and did that big dropThey all freaked out and I loved it cuz i knew it was coming and thought it was so fun and then when we went around the sharp turns up high that was a bit scetchy cuz the ride had just had track problems before we got on .
