      I agree. With a 130’ drop, 60 mph speed, and an inversion this is not a family coaster. Busch Gardens classifies it as a thrill ride to ok. It’s not too intense that many families could ride it but I still wouldn’t classify it as a family coaster. Kind of feel the same for Incredicoaster too

    Revenge of the mummy is the only one I feel like could be debated on whether it's a family coaster just cause I feel like the ride changes in thrill level a lot depending on how much people are scared of the dark and bugs. I absolutely love the ride though, it was the first real coaster with a track that I rode so I am very nostalgic for it.

    Colorado Adventure at Phantasialand. A well phantasialand-level themed long Minetrain with around 3 Lifthills, dark sections, and basically everything you wish for. I know nobody Who doesnt like it, its the perfect ride for everybody
    Winjas fear and Force at the same Park are also outstanding, very very fun Spinning Coasters. Talking of Spinning coasters - Dwervelwind at Toverland slaps too
    A bit smaller but really well done is "Die Schlange von Midgar" at Hansapark, really well themed even tho its more like a Kiddie ride

    I wouldn't classify Revenge of the Mummy to be a family coaster. It's not super fast but it does go backwards pretty quickly and the theming is pretty scary for younger kids (at least from my perspective). I also can't say Incredicoaster is a family coaster as well. The fact that it's your first big coaster doesn't mean it's for kids. I think that ride might be more intense than Cheetah Hunt and I am not even sure I'd consider that a family ride.

    I would have left a few off for similar reasons you debated - family coaster or not. I probably would have had Laff Trakk on here as opposed to the outdoor version. And maybe Verbolten. That is borderline for me too with thrill/family, though. Back Lot Stunt Coasters are good family rides too.

  • @CoasterHour
    @CoasterHour 3 роки тому +1

    Nice list, I’ve reconsidered what a family coaster is many times over the years, but I think it is a ride that at the time it was built was made with families in mind.
    Because of this I myself wouldn’t consider Gemini, Blue Streak, or Jack Rabbit “true” family coasters even though I’d say Blue Streak rides like it is one nowadays. Really fun list, though and Incredicoaster and Manta are definitely some of my favorites.

    Dollywood has 2 great family coasters, Dragonflier and Firechaser Express. I've never understood how Cheetah Hunt is considered a family coaster but if it is then it's my number 1 too. Hagrid's would be a close second.

    If you like alpine coasters, you should come over to Europe where we have some Brandeur alpine coasters which are crazy - they hardly have any braking, and they are a single rail so you feel even more exposed in the tiny toboggan carriages. I went on one with a speedometer section, and I achieved 60kph!

Which side is that called: Fantasy Land or Tomorrow land? Great countdown, BTW; I figured Cheetah Hunt was on the cusp between family coaster and thrill coaster.

    To me family coasters can't have any inversions, despite lower height restrictions. I know that many people disagree. Cheetah Hunt's (temperamental) airtime filled trench drop off the Windcatcher Tower is one of the most intense elements in Florida. The imposing height of that coaster (130 foot drop) is another reason why it's well outside of the family coaster realm IMO. IMO if a coaster is in the 'extreme' category on RCDB, then it's not a family coaster.

    • @627jace627
      @627jace627 3 роки тому +1

      The biggest drop on Maverick is only 100'. It has only one additional inversion and goes only 10 mph faster. So apparently Maverick must be a family coaster too! I think people call CH a family coaster because since it came after Maverick they think it should top it in every statistical category.

    You clearly have no idea what a family coaster is. The Flight of the Hippogryph, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Funspot's Freedom Flyers - those are all examples of true family coasters. Family coasters are rides any age can ride and are not inverted, fast or scary. Just about every coaster you mention is an intermediate coaster - so please change the title to Intermediate Coasters I love and have ridden. Thank you.
