The End of World Record Breaking Roller Coasters?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 сер 2024
- The world has had its fair share of record breaking roller coasters; from the tallest, to the fastest - many rides have broken records upon their debut. Immediately after the widespread introduction of the steel roller coaster, theme parks battled it out to produce some of the largest, fastest, and most inverting roller coasters on earth. Fast forward to today, and record breaking rides don’t pack the same punch. Some parks are still clinging onto this marketing method, instead with mundane records, claiming to have built the tallest of a very specific type of ride. Ultimately, is the era of the record breaking roller coaster over?

A huge thanks to Chris for helping with this video! Also, we just dropped some hot new merch. Wicked Man Greetings Card, Manufacturer Art Prints, and new pin badges! You can check them all out here: coasterbot.com/store
Loving this merch. Have you thought of doing a calendar using the best photos from your competition?
Great Vid Harry...Question, if cost was not an issue what material would make the smoothest coasters?
A thing that I personally appreciate about your videos is that when you give a height or speed data, you always "translate" it to "metres/feet" and "km/h / mph" ... As a european guy, I hate to constantly have to convert feet to metres to know how tall a coaster is... So thank you for these details : )
I'm from the UK and we use both metric and imperial units all the time. It makes sense to give both because then everyone is happy! So no problem at all :)
@@coasterbotI am from uk I use both aswell, I use feet in heights of buildings, coasters etc. and meters for people
6:44 I like how TTD is mildly swaying and the Kingda Ka is violently shaking and swinging around.
And that is why there won't be a 500ft coaster.
7:02 is it just me or is that somebody's cell phone flying off at the top of the hill?
I think it's just a visual thing but honestly I'm not sure...
someting did fall off not sure if it was a phone looked like a wallet
Really looks like it comes from a rider's hand. Fastest cellphone world record
I think so
I slowed the playback speed to the slowest setting and I think you're right. It deffo looks like something flew out of that guy's hand. Idiot trying to film or take a photo? [eye roll]
Been such a massive fan of the channel for a long time, this is by far one of my proudest achievements! 🙏 You are a HUGE inspiration dude, just hope I've done you proud! 👍
Thanks for collaborating with me Harry! I'm sure this won't be the last 😉
It was my pleasure man! I had a blast working with you on these videos and I'm really happy with what we produced. There will definitely be more in the future! 😉👌
Hi screwyloops
If the General Public would realize that stats DONT determine quality, Parks might have it easier when Building new attractions
That's what I thought before I found coaster information videos. Instead of putting the best coasters on my bucket list, I put the tallest and/or fastest coasters on my bucket list because I thought the tallest and fastest coaster is the best
True. ... I still wanna ride some of the extreme coasters though because they look fun. But I suppose if stats don't determine quality then it's just as possible for a high acceleration, tall, or fast coaster to be good as one that doesn't push it as hard, if it uses those attributes well!
Though that's potentially true, it isn't always. Fury 325 at Carowinds is the tallest and faster traditional roller coaster with a lift chain hill, and it has won the Golden Ticket award for world's best steel coaster 6 years in a row, or every year since its debut.
Absolutely. I like record breakers, but quality is where it’s at. Sure I’d like to ride the fastest and tallest complete circuit LSM launch coaster on earth, but Kondaa, Helix, Wodan, FLY, Taron, Shambhala, Untamed, and Zadra are the ones I REALLY want to ride. For Japan, the Steel Dragon 2000 (aka the longest coaster in the world looks great but it almost seems like it would be just an enlarged version of the mediocre Morgan hypers), so Bandit, Flying Dinosaur, Eejanaika, and Hakugei are now at the top of the bucket list from that nation.
Can definitely see parks going more down the theming and experience route going forward, especially with the new records becoming increasingly difficult and unrealistic to be beaten.
7:02 Good bye phone
“Have roller coasters reached their penultimate limit?” I do not think this word means what you think it means. 🧐
Came here from Chris’s video. Loving your colabs
Thank you, means a lot :)
Y dont take them down keep them alot of people will stop going if yall take them down
@@coasterbot not in nkko
Cedar Point: Crushes record to a new threshold
Competition: Sticks a few more feet on to hold the title until crushed again by Cedar Point
Literally
This was a great video, really enjoyed it, Thanks!
Thanks for watching, it means a lot :)
Interesting stuff guys, enjoyed both your videos tonight 😀
Thanks Scott! :)
Cheers guys! ☺️👍
Brilliant video Harry! It’s a really interesting subject! 😉
Thank you! I agree :)
Thank you SO MUCH for using my Screaming Eagle footage. It makes me happy to see other channels use my footage
No problem, thanks for making it royalty free :)
@@coasterbot no problem. I mainly do it for the content creators who need footage like you
Give Yukon Striker some credit, it's not just constructed in order to take menial records, it fits extremely well into the new themed area of the park and is a decent first step towards making Canada's Wonderland more of a themed experience.
It does look great I agree, but it was also a good example of a record grabbing ride ha ha :)
You and Chris did great!
Plus, Chris’s comments are pretty humor-worthy.
Thank you! ☺️👍
Thanks, that means a lot! Chris is awesome :)
Still expressive The Beast holds the Wooden length record after almost 50 years.
And then broke its own record by two feet after retracking 😂
Big fan of this collaboration. I always enjoy what you learn from a a Coaster Bot vid and Screwy Loops has a fab sense of humour. A good hybrid I reckon.
Thanks, we're both bigs fans too! Both videos turned out really well :)
Can you make a video on Arrow Dynamics explained?
I'll note that down, thanks for the suggestion :)
COASTER BOT I’d love to collab on this 😉
I'd love to see more of these collabs! Informative and funny😁 I think you're right but perhaps the world records will change - most aninatronics on a rollercoaster maybe?
I'd love to see more collabs too, do you have any suggestions as to who we should collab with? Ha ha most animatronics would be a good one!
@@coasterbot me at some point😂 jokes aside, I'd love to see more with ScrewyLoops or Jack Silkstone - he's also been smashing it with content😁
Really enjoyed this video lads! 10/10 🤩
Thanks! :)
Great video Harry! You and Chris make an awesome rollercoaster team!! You two should go live together one time!! That would be great
Thanks buddy! ☺️👍 Really enjoyed working on these ones with Harry!
Thanks Daniel, a live stream does sound good I agree :)
Brilliant video!!
Thanks! :)
Amazing Video!! Imagine A Rollercoaster at 160mph!!!
Thanks, and I know right!
Six Flags Saudi Arabia is doing it.
@@jasonrobertsutliff it doesn’t look realistic until they start construction
today's quote: "this is so sad"
Good video lads
Shout out Blackpool 👌 as a local we definitely don’t appreciate PB enough having it on our doorstep
Desperado was one of the tallest roller coasters in the world when it opened. It features a 225-foot (69 m) drop at an angle of 60 degrees, a 209-foot (64 m) lift hill, and a maximum speed of 80 mph (130 km/h).The coaster was listed by the Guinness Book of Records as the world's tallest roller coaster in 1996. The ride was provided by Arrow Dynamics
Desperado opened after the Big One at Blackpool Pleasure Beach (both opened in 1994) and measured 4ft shorter. Though it did have a larger drop!
@@coasterbot only reason I knew that fact was because I got to ride it during that small window it was "the worlds tallest coaster"
Love these philosophical and technical takes
Thanks :)
Awesome! I like all roller coasters except for rough, and higher ones.
That's fair enough :)
15:58 omg I completely forgot about this. I used to be in awe of this thing..
Nice pair of vids guys.
on a side note after this years trip out to AT. Wickerman does feel to be getting abit more lumpy and jolty in places. mostly the turn arounds and the first big swoop out from bob
Thanks! Yeah I know what you mean, it isn't as smooth anymore but I do still really enjoy it :)
8:14,there were wooden roller coasters that inverted way back in the late 1800s,the most famous of them being the "flip/flap railway"
Nice collab!
Thanks! :)
14:32
I swear I hear him say "craps people's attention" instead of "grabs people's attention." 😂😳
There's gonna be no record breaking roller coasters anytime soon
I know I hate the China virus
Amazing video🤪
Thank you! :)
@@coasterbot graag gedaan
What an epic crossover!
Thank you so much! ☺️👍
Hell yeah! :)
I honestly still have my hopes up for the Burri... Polar coaster. Looks like a fun concept rather than the cliché launch and tophat combination.
I totally agree!
I actually made a video on the top 10 roller coaster records that may never be broken
Awesome!
Hey I saw that!
Found it, off to watch it now.
Front row on formula Rosa is amazing, top 3 coaster experience for me.
But when you go 2nd row and back the experience drops dramatically.
I can imagine the front is awesome!
Cannabil had the steepest drop for a few years in 2015
yesss
the uk finally keep a rollercoaster record!!
love u alton
I know right!
Hey DuckSquad! Here's the thumbnail for our next video: Top 12 Disney Mountains, what do you think?
What's your favorite Disney Mountain?
Just came over from the new Screwy Loops video 😂
That's awesome, I hope you enjoyed both videos :)
Will you do a meet and greet event i haven't seen a major coaster UA-cam for it before
Once everything settles down, yes we do hope to! :)
RMC's look like the most fun to me! I have not had the pleasure of riding one yet..
Cedar Point wont be able to sit on it's hands for more than a couple years at most.
Very true
The pandemic will slow any plans down sadly
Good vid
(:
Thanks! :)
I'm only recently getting invested/interest in builds of rides, in my opinion from this video I think that immersion and intensity is more important than breaking records
5:17 😳😳😳😳 It wobbled!
Whenever I see steel dragon, I think b&m 2 seater trains on a Morgan😂😂😂
Superb chaps 👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Thanks guys! :)
Honestly, small scale rides are very fun and sometimes better than larger editions. I’d prefer better elements and unique ones over records.
I definitely agree with your second point :)
3:20 I dunno why but at that angle it looked like magnum had a dive loop for a moment and I was really really confused. Or maybe the sugar I had earlier wasn't actually sugar.
You joke about the worlds tallest big apple coaster, but blackpool's south pier markets them having the uk's tallest and fastest spinning wild mouse.
Whoa that is epic! ;)
@@coasterbot Haha yep! Couldn't tell it apart too much from any of the other's I've ridden. It is a decent price though and fun to ride so I can't really complain. It's probably like 1cm taller than the other ones or something. ;)
YES CHRIS LOVE THIS
Ha ha glad you liked it! :)
Cheers dude! 🙂👍
I'm pretty sure full-throttle at six flags magic mountain used to hold the record for the biggest loop but now it's "Flash" and I forgot where that is.
Uploading at the same time as Taylor Bumblebee 🤪
And Coaster Bot
I think it’s on hold. I’m sure something huge will come soon.
I myself think this is spot on! I love coasters but there are whole lot them that I haven't even ridden yet or.might not ever. But I dont know either way where the coaster world is going!🙂🙂
There's too many coasters out there to ride! :)
@@coasterbot I know 🙂🙂🙂
Ok, very excited to watch this. Going in blind, my take is that the evolution of world records will be in the form of worlds firsts and continuing innovation.
I hope you enjoyed it :)
My favorite roller coaster "record" is Firebird at SFA: First floorless roller coaster in Maryland!
This is true, but Maryland isn't exactly a large state, and there are literally 3 other floorless roller coasters within a few hours drive!
ha ha that's great
The roller coasters look like tons of fun.
There has been a new category of coasters announced since the release of this video:
Most Goodest coaster.
How would you define that? ;)
Fury 325 should also be talked about as it is the tallest lift hill. I don’t think it will loose that record.
"No denying that launch still kicks all kinds of Intamin... buttocks."😂😂😂
Ha Harry and Taylor uploaded at the same time
Exactly, Zadra promoted as record breaking wooden roller coaster. I told them dozen times that they’re technically lying in comments under their Facebook Zadra promoting posts. I haven’t seen them for some time.
My way at school when going to classroom from washroom
Last time I rode the Wicker Man it was a complete blur! Night time on the front row, it's so intense being pushed by the cars behind you! I feel the wood is going to break and fly off the track! that's what makes it a thrill.
That sounds awesome!
This is the world's tallest, fastest and longest roller coaster that is painted in four shades of green, eclipsing the previous record holder which was only painted in two
Hell yeah
Hey, this video seems very similar to one of mine from last year... 😁
I just finished watching your video! There are many similarities, we both definitely came to the same natural conclusion (which makes a lot of sense). I don't go around UA-cam watching other videos to steal ideas. Whenever something comes to my mind I write it in a list. Ideas may sit on the list for weeks, months or years before they get made (we're slow here at Coaster Bot). I genuinely don't mean to 'rip-off' other people's videos, that's not who I am. I apologise that we ended up making similar videos, but with so many channels out there doing this kind of stuff now it's inevitable!
I think parks will continue to use records (both real & made up) for as long as they continue to sell tickets... we're just seeing a shift from the engineers actually _building_ the records to the marketing teams having to _dream_ them up! Because for every one of us who (rightly!) roll our eyes at the ads for the _"tallest, fastest, most inverted, mega-strato-gigantocoaster"_ there's 100 others who want to ride it because it's a record-breaker and/or it gives them one more reason to visit that park instead of another one. 🤷♀
Who honestly knows when that 500ft raptor will be built but I don't think the record breaking is at an end yet!
Good video
Thanks!
@@coasterbot no problem
You should do what is Cannibal at lagoon
We hope to in the future :)
I deeply apologize for accusing you of copying a video idea, but I recently watched a video by Great American Coaters that is very similar to yours, but was released a whole week before this video. Titled: “Top 10 roller coaster records that will never be broken.”
I just wanna make sure that neither you, or Great American Coasters get hate for this or anything. I enjoy both of your channels. Hopefully this is just a coincidence...
No worries, I appreciate you're looking out for other content creators. I first spoke to Christ about this video on the 7th October, a month before the video came out. We usually take weeks or months to script, record and edit our videos together. But the ball gets rolling well before that. I had the idea for this video a year ago and research began earlier in this year. But I wanted the video to be a collab so I waited for the right time.
If we ever produce something similar to someone else, at roughly the same point in time, it'll always be coincidence.
Series idea: Explain about different non-coaster rides such as Radiator Springs Racers and Frozen Ever After. It will be called Non-Coaster Rides Explained.
That's a great suggestion, I'll note it down :)
What about the 600ft tall coaster coming to Orlando?
Oh yeah!
Why does the other guy sound so out of breath at the end of every sentence 😂
Loved him in the vid!
He's got a lot to say! I loved him in the video too :)
Treat every audio recording like the Olympic Games 🤣👍
Starting in the 70's: Who forgot Colossus, @SFMM; Loch Ness Monster @ Hershey Park and Desperado in Reno (the last one being in the mid 90's)? I could go back sixty more years before 1978 if necessary. I admit that most coasters in the U.S. operating before the Wall St. crash of 1929 have no record of them remaining. There were about 3,000 of them in the U.S. too! There are only about 650 in the U.S. now, and in China there are over 1,300! (albeit not as good on average.) There aren't many records remaining of any record breaking coasters from the late 20s through the early 70s. There are, however, still a large hand full of those records (and even a few still operating coasters) remaining that were build before the early 70's, but that's a complicated aspect of this topic and it'll have to wait another day, considering how long this comment is already. Having said that: I'm very happy to see that this topic is becoming popular again. Whilst stats aren't everything: Every coaster enthusiast ought to at least have access to those stats and the history of roller coasters breaking records, especially for the speed and drop. I'm curious, Harry, What was the longest coaster in 1975 you mentioned that was beaten by the Beast in 1979?
Traditionally, record breaking coasters would potentially allow for bigger and taller and/or more numerous basic elements, eventually bigger drops and faster speeds and longer lengths and/or durations were used to deliver to us guests (now older coaster enthusiasts like me) the biggest duration of 1: sustained floater airtime, 2: speed, 3: duration; 4: strong positive Gs for troughs and short turn arounds to mix up the whole experience to add variety to the negative Gs; the the crown jewel of coaster elements. That was generally consistently true through the year 2000. While not as consistent it's generally still true today.
As far as Six Flags Quiddyia: "Just take a look at the park's concept video and see for yourself: It makes No Limits fantasy coasters look vaguely realistic." That was very funny, Chris, LOL!
We did our own research on the records to verify what the well known record breakers were, and were surprised. The history of the world's tallest roller coaster that is common knowledge is wrong. Giant Coaster at Fuji-Q Highland opened in 1966 standing 40m 131ft high, making it taller than Colossus and Loch Ness Monster.
As for the longest pre-1975, we've got it down as Big Dipper at Fairmount Park in 1923. It stood 1637 meters (5372 ft.) long.
It's definitely interesting to see how roller coasters have evolved over time, and what is enthusiasts look for in roller coasters have evolved over time :)
@@coasterbot Thanks so much, I had no idea! That's bigger than Mr.Twister was at Illitch Gardens which I recently thought was the biggest coaster when I was born, (Twister at Knoebels isn't exactly the same thing but it's close). I'll look up Giant Coaster and the Big Dipper at Fairmont Park; if I have any questions I'll get back to you.
Aye, some german rides 😄 Krake looks super cool but I would love to have a mega/giga coaster near my hometown. Hopefully I can ride some in the US once the pandemic is under controll
Krake does look super cool! Walibi Belguim is getting a hyper coaster which shouldn't be *too* far away? :)
@@coasterbot Yes! I've always planned to give Walibi a visit but all my friends like the Heide Park in Germany very much 🤣 Hope to convince them once covid is less of a problem
I beg to differ on the Longest coaster never being broken. American Eagle has the most amount of track out of any ride. If it was RMCed and the turned it into a Mobius loop racing coaster. It could become one of the best rollercoasters in the world and smash the length record by almost 1000 ft. Yes if the current lengths of Eagle are combined, it would almost be 10k ft long.
I find it weird as I was looking for screwy loops before screwy loops was introduced 👁 👄 👁
You forgot to mention Steel Curtain's inversion record (9 inversions; most inversions on a roller coaster in the US)
Steel Curtain looks great! :)
HEY! The world’s smallest roller coaster is vitally underrated. Rather taking that, then SpeedMonster from the same park.
Tallest full circuit roller coaster (with a lift) is still Fury 325. That'll be broken soon. Guaranteed.
Tall roller coasters have become my least favourite over time. When I was younger I always thought, most important is a big drop and just the overall height. Nowadays I enjoy lower, faster coasters much more. Taron e.g. is by far my current favourite. It is just a great ride, great theming, overall an amazing expierence, so much more important than some stats.
Does the record for longest roller coasters include alpine coasters??
It doesn't, no. Just 'normal' roller coasters :)
What is the coaster at :51 ?
What:51
It's Zadra at Energylandia :)
From looking at the title in my feed all o can say is BOO FRICKIN HOO
Whoa slow down, watch the video! :)
Personally I’d take a highly themed ride like Taron or The Wicker Man over a “record breaking” parking lot coaster.
Corkscrew was so much fun my dad 3 cousins and my uncle and i rode it 8 times in a row till my uncle threw up lol
ha ha that's awesome :)
FLY (2020 and 2 world records) and Taron (2016 and 4 world records)
Am I a joke to you?
So this is the thing they're adressing in this video. They did mention a Taron world record. But honestly, most launches on a flying coaster, meh. That's one of those records to draw people like they said.
@@TheDutchRevolution bruh i didn’t mention FLY has the most launches, even if it’s true.
The two Fly world records are:
Longest flying coaster, which is a thing and
First flying coaster with launches or first flying multi launch coaster
Please do six flags great America explained
I'll note that down, thanks for the suggestion :)
Didn’t Loch Ness monster also break the record for world’s tallest coaster in 1978
The park did say it was the world's tallest upon debut but were wrong. Giant Coaster opened in 1966 at Fuji-Q Highland and is taller than Loch Ness Monster :)
The reason we won't get new record breakers is there are enough chain park companies. You use to have paramount, premier, cedar fair, six flags, also with king island and six flags ohio not competitors anymore there is nothing to push cedar point to break insane records. Also cedar fair has more parks so lots of small rides makes more financial sence than a few big ones.
Magic mountain fanboy here, you didn't mention goliath before millennium force
me with my 27 inversion coaster in planco
I think I sprained my neck or something on Red Force in Farrie land Spain after I when on it once and I had put my hand up on the up part and my neck just decided to not stay in the seat, It hurt alot but I didn't care because It was fun.
