Velocicoaster is probably the smoothest chaotic ride i've ridden: great theming, air time, unpredictability and momentum. Even though the line took 1hr, the immersive level of detail in the que environment made it feel like it was only 20 minutes.
After hearing lots of approval and praise from theme park enthusiasts, I came in the VelociCoaster I came in the ride with VERY high expectations, and yet it STILL managed to shock me at how fantastic is was! Definitely one of the best in the world :D
@@Howlingburd19 it was my first time to islands of adventure, although there’s just a handful of rides, the level of detail in theming and environment was awesome. Before closing when I had to decide to reride either velocicoster or hagrids, I chose velocicoaster!
Just went on that today. First roller coaster ever. My friend who was with me works there and has ridden it several times, so I knew it was going to be crazy. But of course had no idea what to expect since it was my first time. What an experience!!! It's been 10 hours and I'm still buzzing from it.
Finally, a ranking from an American who isn't scared to go to Mexico City. hahaha Superman El Último Escape deserves to be in everyone's top 25. You also get to be a real RMC completist with Medusa Steel Coaster (Taylor).
@@Starlit43 I'd agree but for a Six Flags park, it has its clones and is literally no different than any other park in the chain. In fact, I'd put SFM in the top half of the Six Flags parks, since it's a bit more cleaner and way cheaper than most parks in the States. Once La Feria de Chapultepec finds a legit management (and ride maintenance) group, you'll have three decent places (if you include Kataplum) to stack credits in one city. That would include two Schwarzkopf legends (roll the dice on Quimera), the only international ACE landmark in Montaña Rusa, an RMC that most RMC fans don't have on their checklist and one of the better Morgan hypers.
riding Steel Vengeance for the first time in middle of the night was one of the most mind-blowing and fun experiences of my life, period. I had no idea a roller coaster could do the things that coaster does.
Authentic. That's what is so striking about your list. It feels genuine👏 The odd Togo hot take inclusion, Skyrush's polarizing experience dealt with in a fair manner, the surprise Superman Mexico, and many classics... and your HUMOR! I thoroughly enjoyed watching your countdown, and its a honor that you used some of my Twisted Colossus footage to illustrate your comments. Well done on delivering time and time again informative and entertaining content. May 2022 be even more astonishing for you! 🤗🥳
For the record, the pullout of Millennium Force's first drop into the first overbank and throughout that element is one of the most intense elements I've ever ridden lol. I come close to blacking out every time. I am glad to see this ride is still appreciated, however. Good list, hopefully I'll finally get on Toro this year
@@EFCasual nobody asked bud, let people enjoy their coasters how they want. Notice he said “every time” as in he clearly doesn’t mind it. Unsolicited advice is rarely helpful and typically self serving.

As someone who’s home park is Michigan Adventures, this year has been a blessing. Thank you for giving us a chance to shine, and wow, we really must have left a mark. Shivering Timbers is the definition of an underrated ride.
Will you be making a list for 2021? You’ve got like the highest credit count of any Enthusiast on YT and would really love to hear your opinion. Love your stuff and keep up the awesome work!
Makes sense tho sense they prefer different kind of coasters. I always wondered how Ryan never had a kings island coaster in his top 25 but it makes sense when kings island is lacking a overly intense ride.
18:38 Glad to see SDC on the list even though Time Traveler didn't make this list. I got to visit Old Time Christmas for the first time last week, and managed to get my fix of those amazing night rides. I think Outlaw Run, Powder Keg, and Time Traveler make SDC one of the best parks for night rides in the country.
Amazing list, a lot of bucket list coasters on here for me. Out of 146 coasters, my top 25 is: 1. Velocicoaster - Universal Islands of Adventure 2. El Toro - SFGA 3. Voyage - Holiday World 4. Fury 325 - Carowinds 5. Steel Vengeance - Cedar Point 6. Maverick - Cedar Point 7. Copperhead Strike - Carowinds 8. Twisted Timbers - Kings Dominion 9. Millennium Force - Cedar Point 10. Mystic Timbers - Kings Island 11. Lightning Rod - Dollywood 12. Outlaw Run - Silver Dollar City 13. Skyrush - Hershey Park 14. Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion 15. Magnum XL-200 - Cedar Point 16. The Incredible Hulk Coaster - Universal Islands of Adventure 17. Lightning Run - Kentucky Kingdom 18. Twisted Cyclone - SFOG 19. Diamondback - Kings Island 20. Orion - Kings Island 21. The Beast - Kings Island 22. Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motor Bike Adventure - Universal Islands of Adventure 23. Mako- SWO 24. Thunderhead - Dollywood 25. Manta - SWO
@@eelovfx9200 Fair, I kinda just copied my list from my document I have where I know everything so I just abbreviate. However, thank you for the insight (:
my 1 and 2 are swapped right now but i just rode velocicoaster 2 days ago and el toro a couple years ago, even though it’s at my home park. covid yk maybe it’ll switch once i ride toro again since i have a season pass we’ll see!
I honestly can't believe that Maverick isn't on this list. Sure it isn't the biggest or the fastest but it is an intense coaster that just doesn't quit. It's one of my favorites for sure.
I've done Eejinika maybe 15x and it never gets old. It's so crazy you can't believe they built something so nuts. It's something everyone needs try atleast once in a lifetime.
Millennium Force at #21 was a bit lower than I expected, especially when you ranked Fury 325 at #10 and Intimidator 305 at #5. When you described the constant speed rush of the other two coasters, I felt like that described my feelings riding Millennium Force. The speed is the thing on these type of gigacoasters, and Millennium Force starts at 93 mph and ends at 60 mph. It's highway speeds and more through the entire ride, and that's what I loved so much. In a way, you could say Millennium Force was the successful prototype of coasters of its type, whose descendants could take the best parts of the original and improve upon them. Millennium Force is 22 years old this year! Give some love to the OG giga coaster.
He said that these coasters are in the top 5% of every coaster he’s rode. Pretty much he thinks its a great coaster, even though it is “low” on his list
Positive are way better than speed and i305 has the best positives ever and not noticeable speed difference between any of the other baby gigas in comparison to I305
Being from California, GhostRider was my first roller coaster! I still remember the anxiety that filled within me hearing the clicks and seeing how high we were going lol. But after the ride, my mind was blown away!! I’m glad you enjoyed it as well!
Colossus was my first, but I think Ghostrider was the first that really scared me as a kid. One middle school bet of 'Every time one of us chickens out on a coaster the other rides, the chicken owes $5' at magic mountain cured me of any coaster hesitancy- I even came out ahead by being the only one to ride Superman. Now the higher and faster the better, but I have a real soft spot for rough woodies.
Out of all the lists I’ve seen so far, I feel like this one is the best. Some things would be altered in my opinion and based on what I’ve ridden, but based on your experiences and explanations I highly respect it.
i just went on the velocicoaster two times last week and i can’t stop thinking about it. it gave me a feeling i’ve never had before in life !!! im so happy you mentioned it and loved it, makes me so happy inside as i grew up in florida and at least this coaster put us on the map. thank you for your videos !!
honestly millie was hellla under whelming. it had a good drop then meandered around the rest of the time. basically no forces. and it was a short ride. its my 5 at the park I prefer gate keeper and valraven.
Nice to see Twisted Timbers and I305 going so high on the list. One of my favorites also, and I feel like a lot of other people do not give it enough credit for how insane it is!
I’ve only ridden coasters from SF Magic Mountain and Discovery Kingdom so I don’t have experience on probably 99% of these, but I feel like I’ve learned about what it must be like to ride them all. I rode every coaster that was open on my last trip to Magic Mountain in September and X2 and Twisted Colossus are my top 2. West Coast Racers and Full Throttle are both awesome rides and really turn up the “fun factor,” as I call it. Sadly, Tatsu was down so I didn’t get to ride that. Great, informative rankings here. You’ve got a new sub here. 👍
Thanks for showing my #1, Skyrush, some love! The restraints don’t bother me at all, and the absolute joy going down that first hill is unmatched by anything else. The rest of my top 5: Twisted Timbers, Stormrunner, Wicked Cyclone, and I305… if I can manage not to black out on I305 at some point, it will definitely move up in the rankings. I can’t wait to hear that “Gentlemen, start your engines!” opening again and launch up the hill, wondering if this is going to be the ride I get to stay awake throughout!
Great list! My friend and I were disappointed that ElToro was still closed when we went in July but were thrilled to ride JD and Kingda Ka. I'm looking forward to returning again in 2023. In 2019 I visited my cousin in Los Angeles and treated her to Knotts Scary Farm. As she was 60 at the time and turned me down to go to Six Flags since she wasn't a rollercoaster fan I expected to ride Knotts' coasters solo. Well she surprised me by riding everything I did, which was every coaster that was open! Including Hang Time, Accelerator and Silver Bullet. Ghost Rider was the first and we re-rode it on the way out! Each time squeezing my arm numb. Awesome ride and great times!
Yooooo I didn’t know airtime thrills loved skyrush! He must really like being stapled because that ride staples so much. I wonder how he makes it not hurt?? Jokes aside great video, you’ve ridden so many coasters! Good to see some more underrated Japanese and Mexican coasters that not as many people talk about.
I’m not a roller coaster enthusiast, in fact, I have an intense fear of coasters but I am fascinated by them, their engineering, design, etc. (and I’m originally from NJ like you so I’m especially partial to your channel lol) but I’m always so happy you put the Japanese coasters on your list! My friends always try to get me to go on Flying Dinosaur and I’m like, if it’s on Ryan’s list, I will for sure black out, so no thank u!!! Your lists always help me 😂
Got to ride the intimidator 305 for the first time finally and got to experience the tunnels closing in around my eyes for the first time. I was not ready for the amount of force after that first drop but I'm absolutely in love now. Can't wait to go back.
Outlaw Run Freakin slaps. For people going to Silver dollar city the back row is more agressive but the second to back is more smooth. Both give insane but different air time.
I am so psyched that Shivering Timbers was so high on your list!! It was the second coaster I ever rode at 7, and it was the biggest thrill of my young life!! It's still my favorite wooden coaster!
Velocicoaster at #4, didn’t expect this from you, I’m really happy you put it that high though, it’s my #1, even after riding the best coasters in the USA
Your video always manage to entertain me. It was cool to see Twisted Timbers and I305 jump in your rankings. Heres my top 10 cause my cred count in low. 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Skyrush 3. Intimidator 305 4. Fury 325 5. Twisted Timbers 6. Maverick 7. Copperhead Strike 8. Alpengeist 9. Afterburn 10. Millennium Force
Lived 23 years of my life in Toms River New Jersey. By far my favorite coaster I’ve ridden is el toro. Just moved across the country to Colorado this past year and I miss sfga way too much. Here’s to hoping el toro reopens in 2022. That ride is too good to stay down for this long!
Happy to see mr.freeze in this, have grown up going to the sister in STL, and has long since been one of my all time favorites. With the tracks split so you can have a forward or reverse launch (some people couldn’t handle the reverse) it makes for an awesome experience. One of the few coasters I wait the little bit extra to sit in the back so you’re all the way at the top staring straight down.
You are living my dream brother! I've dreamed about traveling the world and riding every coaster I can since the first time I rode Titan at Six Flags Over Texas over 20 years ago. I'm so happy to see Mr Freeze getting some well deserved love as it's definitely my favorite I've ridden so far (although I miss when it shot out going forwards). Awesome video man, I'll be sure to keep watching, Keep on screaming brother! 🎢
As a Michigan native, I was wondering if Shivering Timbers may make your list. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much you respect it! It's been a long time since I've rode it, but I remember having a world class rollercoaster experience that I was not expecting when I rode it.
Dude youre videos are so entertaining! Thank you for making a space, where I don't feel like a weirdo for being so obsessed with rollercoasters!!!❤❤ much love bra
I’ve ridden 3 in your top 25....millennium force, iron rattler, and el toro. El toro is by far the best. So many people in nj take it for granted...nothing like an intense woodie
I will never forget my first and only ride (so far) on Steel Vengeance. I was with my cousin, we rode the back seat, and after the first drop, I screamed the entire time. When we hit the final break run, I could barely speak, but I was able to whimper, "What the hell just happened?" No other coaster has been able to pull that off for me. Simply magnificent.
The wickerman and the Smiler at Alton towers UK are no way near as long as some of the coasters mentioned in this video but pack way more intense loops, drops, and airtime than most mentioned here in such short rides.
Too bad this man aint british cuz he aint even went near Alton Towers or Blackpool. Definitely smiler is the best ride I have ever ridden, the small air time hill just after one of the inversions shakes up the ride and the wickerman absolutely tosses other woodies aside with a unique and thrilling experience that your going to hit your head. Another honourable mention you didnt say is definitely Oblivion as it may be short it still packs a punch with its vertical drop and Nemesis will always be the OG flying coaster and will always live in my heart as the best. Another great thing to mention about all of the rides at alton towers is that they interact with the queue lines and a great thing about blackpool is the rides interlap with other rides and make a thrilling experience. The UK is definitely a pot of gold for thrilling rollercoasters.
@@GekoIsCool See, the creator of this video and most of the people here in the comments section are american and apparantly, they only seen some massive coasters in the US or Japan. They have no idea of really good coasters, built into the terrain such as Nemesis (Alton Towers), Black Mamba (Phantasialand) or Oblivion (Alton Towers), neither have they seen any multi inversion or launched coasters built on smallest space such as The Smiler (Alton Towers) or the insane launche of Taron (Phantasialand). And, if you're talking about woodys here, Colossos at Heide Park definetely earns a spot in that list. So...this whole list is just a shame for every coaster fan, who seen a bit more than the US... *bows* over 550 different coasters...wow...500 of 'em in the US, 10 in Mexico and 40 in Japan...congratulations...there's some defenitely better ones in Canada's Wonderland, you better should grab a map, mate. Alton Towers (UK), Phantasialand (GER), Europa-Park (GER), Energylandia (POL), Heide-Park (GER), Thorpe-Park (UK), Parc Astérix (FRA), Walibi Belgium (BEL) and Holland (NED)...you should consider those as destination for your next real coaster holiday!
I've been on all the GCIs in America and had a terrible day on Goldstriker. It was super slow, grindy and rough. I rode it early, mid day and at night and that never changed. It actually felt to me like the wheels weren't round or something. I must have hit it on a bad day or something because it isn't even close to a top GCI from my experiences on it. So glad to see people giving Hades 360 some love. That ride is INSANE. Awesome to see Outlaw Run getting credit as well. That is another criminally underrated ride.
The feeling of knowing you've just ridden your new #1 coaster is pretty special, that happened this month with Taron. As a European who hasn't visited anywhere in the US other than Florida since childhood, I'm embarrassed not to have ridden ANY of these. I get the feeling my top 5 will have changed a lot by the time I have...
Ryan, I stumbled into your channel via the algorithm and you are criminally undersubscribed! Your tone and presentation on your channel is wonderful and the content is really well researched. Glad to see you snagging sponsors and I wish you all the best!
My top 15 (I tend to be a fan of coasters that are smooth and graceful above overly intense. I also tend to love big drops) 1. Steel Vengeance (S) 2. Twisted Colossus (A+) 3. Orion (A+) 4. Millennium Force (A+) 5. Maverick (A+) 6. Storm chaser (A) 7. Diamondback (A) 8. Phantoms Revenge (A) 9. Banshee (A-) 10. Gatekeeper (A-) 11. X2 (A-) 12. Gold Striker (A-) 13. Mystic Timbers (A-) 14. Top Thrill Dragster (A-) (in a class of its own in terms of experience and adrenaline) 15. Full throttle (A-)
@@SillyPlushStudios no problem! I’ve ridden both coasters in the same week many times and Orion has really separated itself! Orion is still my personal favorite to this day even though I’ve ridden a few coasters that are objectively better. If someone asked what coaster would you like to ride right now, I’d pick Orion 9/10 just because of it being the bright spot of my pandemic and I’ve had so many good memories on my 35+ rides
Seeing Hades-360 at your #15 is hilarious. I've probably ridden Hades and then Hades-360 hundreds of times, it set my initial standard for an intense coaster. Hades was my first "big" coaster as a kid. So happy to see other enthusiasts giving props to this ride. Fun Fact: Hades is a coaster that ends relationships, got broken up with on the lift hill xD
I’m actually surprised Fury 325 is number 10, it’s literally number 2 for me lol. Maybe it’s because I live in Charlotte, but I love riding it every single time I go to Carowinds.
As an Australian I haven’t been able to go on many coasters however if you ever plan on visiting Australia you definitely have to visit movieworld and dreamworld on the Gold Coast and say your thoughts on their coasters as well as the new wooden coaster at sea world (not the same as the US they rescue and look after injured animals)
Great List! Ghostrider is definitely one of my favourites! Although, I would have given The Mindbender at Galaxyland in the West Edmonton Mall at least an honourable mention, being by far the best indoor coaster I've ever ridden (personally, this is in my top 5)!
I’ve not even done 25 yet 😂 but my favourites for what I have rode are 1. Montu 2. The hulk 3. Hagrids 4. Swarm 5. Kumba 6. Manta 7. Duelling dragons (both) 8. Nemsis 9. Nemesis inferno 10. Cheetah hunt 11. Colossus 12. Air 13. Rockin rollercoaster 14. Rita 15. Saw (awful coaster) I’ve still so many to go ride!
I'll do a quick top 10. And since I'm european, It's gonna be different... 10: Psyké Underground 9: Express: Platform 13 8: Fenix 7: Troy 6: Goliath 5: OzIris 4: Untamed 3: Lost Gravity 2: Tonnere De zeus 1: Expedition G-Force
good to see soms love for walibi’s coasters in these comments! goliath was my fave growing up, and the untamed and lost gravity have been great additions to the park
@@clarence5211 Yes they are great, but I also have yet to do Phantasialand, Europa Park and Port aventura. Once I have done those parks, my top 10 will change probably. I also have yet to do Kondaa and that tomorrowland coaster. I think they will come in the top 10.
My number one has and always will be The Beast, for nostalgia purposes and the fact this was the first "big" coaster I rode with my mom! I even had the book when I was a kid 🤣 still legendary night rides to this day
@Spike S Yeah they're retracking, including large portions of the helix, they are also reprofiling the first drop which will now be steeper! I haven't been to Winterfest at all yet- hope you had a great time!
Great list. My new #1 is definitely Velocicoaster. For the longest time it was Superman Ride of steel/ bizarro. If only they fixed the horrible horrible restraints, I think it will instantly shoot back up to man top ten lists status. I would love to go to Japan for the coasters you mentioned, but also super Nintendo world!
I only have 17 credits (sad) so I haven't ridden most of the ones on my list and it is hard to tell when I haven't ridden them so uhhh yeah here it is: 1: Skyrush 2: Iron Gwazi 3: Pantheon 4: Maverick 5: Velocicoaster 6: Steel Vengeance 7: Shambhala 8: El Toro 9: Stormrunner 10: Candymonium 11: Mystic timbers 12: Montu 13: Railblazer/ Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster 14: Millie 15: Cheetah Hunt 16: Superman: The Ride 17: Gatekeeper 18: Zadra 19: Banshee 20: Leviathan 21: Mako 22: I305 23: Diamondback 24: Iron Rattler 25: Ghostrider
I rode my first coaster back in December. Hulk at Universal Orlando. It was a lot of fun, my stomach wasn’t ready for it so I couldn’t bring myself to ride Velocicoaster, I kick myself for that every day but I’m going back this year and I’m definitely gonna ride it then.
Great list! And I laughed out loud at your fake-out for #1… Night Hawk is definitely one of my all-time least favorite coasters (and Fury325 is my all-time favorite)!!
Man need to go to bush gardens Williamsburg. Me and my family took our non adrenaline junky to this roller coaster called verbolten. From what we could see it was a nice and calm ride with a bit of a drop but nothing to crazy Let just say the non adrenaline junky almost passed out it had 2 hydrologic launches and great air time hills. By far one of my favorite rides
23:05 I have ridden two coasters in my life. Both yesterday and both at Kings Dominion. 305 was my second and it was at 9pm. As a 32 year old who has just experienced coasters...man...glad I got on 305.
You GOTTA try the Pantheon at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, VA......its CRAZY! I also love the Verbolten there it is one of my top 5.....although they have a bunch of great coasters there and I didnt see ANY of them on this list. Have you ever been there? I know Pantheon is new this year but I would have thought one of them would have been in your top 25.
So glad Velocicoaster made the list. I live in Orlando now and it’s definitely the king of coasters here. I am all smiles the entire time I ride. When people ask what makes it so great it’s hard to pick one thing… I often go with “it’s just a marvel of engineering.”
Finally got to ride Intimidator 305 over the weekend and I was really glad to see it in your top 5. It lived up to all the hype and then some, unlike Fury 325. Thanks for all the great technical videos, hopefully Cedar Fair will see your video on Intimidator 305 and swap it with Orion at Kings Island. Of course that is a bigger dream than your Millennium Force station unload changes for 2 train operation!
El Toro is fantastic. I only have one recommendation: don’t go during Fright Fest and ride 3 times in a row, your heart will be jumping out of your chest
Completely agreed. One of the underrated things on Twisted Colossus is how the 2nd car goes wild when you realize you're going to Duel, and how they cheer the other train on. I seriously don't get when they don't hold you at the bottom of the list hill (there's a brake run there) so that you duel every time
Cool to see Boulder Dash gettin some respect put on its name. Lake Compounce is the closest park to me with a good coaster, and Boulder Dash was my first woody coaster.

Just rode it a few days ago, an absolute must! It's got highly advanced technology, and it felt like you'll never stop.
The corkscrew at the end is crazy your butt leaves the seat
Just went on that today. First roller coaster ever. My friend who was with me works there and has ridden it several times, so I knew it was going to be crazy. But of course had no idea what to expect since it was my first time. What an experience!!! It's been 10 hours and I'm still buzzing from it.
"Velocicoaster is Universally loved."
Is that a pun, Ryan?
Finally, a ranking from an American who isn't scared to go to Mexico City. hahaha Superman El Último Escape deserves to be in everyone's top 25. You also get to be a real RMC completist with Medusa Steel Coaster (Taylor).
Terrible rides
@@Starlit43 I'd agree but for a Six Flags park, it has its clones and is literally no different than any other park in the chain. In fact, I'd put SFM in the top half of the Six Flags parks, since it's a bit more cleaner and way cheaper than most parks in the States. Once La Feria de Chapultepec finds a legit management (and ride maintenance) group, you'll have three decent places (if you include Kataplum) to stack credits in one city. That would include two Schwarzkopf legends (roll the dice on Quimera), the only international ACE landmark in Montaña Rusa, an RMC that most RMC fans don't have on their checklist and one of the better Morgan hypers.
Quimera’s at Indiana Beach now lol. Not in Mexico anymore
@@slimydog8946 Montaña Rusa was torn down. :(
@@shivtim Wow. So sad that these rides aren't given the TLC.
riding Steel Vengeance for the first time in middle of the night was one of the most mind-blowing and fun experiences of my life, period. I had no idea a roller coaster could do the things that coaster does.
My first ride was in the middle of the night too. I will never forget it. Absolutely my favorite ride I’ve ever ridden.
Authentic. That's what is so striking about your list. It feels genuine👏

As someone who’s home park is Michigan Adventures, this year has been a blessing. Thank you for giving us a chance to shine, and wow, we really must have left a mark. Shivering Timbers is the definition of an underrated ride.
Shivering Timbers is the truth
Living in the tri city’s in MI I agree but I hardly go!
GO MICHIGAN WHOA. Hell yeah!
Michigan adventure is my home park too!
Great list! Shivering Timbers was running much better than I remembered in 2021. It moved up a ton for me too.
Will you be making a list for 2021? You’ve got like the highest credit count of any Enthusiast on YT and would really love to hear your opinion. Love your stuff and keep up the awesome work!

Nice to know ST is running smoother: I will have to check it out
Love seeing i305 get the respect it deserves after seeing Airtime Thrills put it at #76!
Makes sense tho sense they prefer different kind of coasters. I always wondered how Ryan never had a kings island coaster in his top 25 but it makes sense when kings island is lacking a overly intense ride.
i feel like airtimethrills literally only likes airtime, hence why he doesnt rate i305 or most inverting coasters
@@freddiecoulson7202 I mean its in his name, he doesn't hide his negative opinions on rides that lack forces and airtime
@@jordane7483 just think how intense an RMCd beast could be. I really want that before I get too old to really enjoy coasters lol.
@@evangregory14 they just did a major retract with GG so I don’t think that’s happening anytime soon unfortunately. I’d be down as well. Lol.
18:38 Glad to see SDC on the list even though Time Traveler didn't make this list. I got to visit Old Time Christmas for the first time last week, and managed to get my fix of those amazing night rides. I think Outlaw Run, Powder Keg, and Time Traveler make SDC one of the best parks for night rides in the country.
P.S. Problematic Coasters on Powder Keg pls?
Powder Keg at night is the most fun I’ve ever had on a coaster. Being launched into the night is something else.
It's so odd that a park that really lays into the old timey vibe, has nothing but bangers for coasters.
Amazing list, a lot of bucket list coasters on here for me. Out of 146 coasters, my top 25 is:
1. Velocicoaster - Universal Islands of Adventure
2. El Toro - SFGA
3. Voyage - Holiday World
4. Fury 325 - Carowinds
5. Steel Vengeance - Cedar Point
6. Maverick - Cedar Point
7. Copperhead Strike - Carowinds
8. Twisted Timbers - Kings Dominion
9. Millennium Force - Cedar Point
10. Mystic Timbers - Kings Island
11. Lightning Rod - Dollywood
12. Outlaw Run - Silver Dollar City
13. Skyrush - Hershey Park
14. Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion
15. Magnum XL-200 - Cedar Point
16. The Incredible Hulk Coaster - Universal Islands of Adventure
17. Lightning Run - Kentucky Kingdom
18. Twisted Cyclone - SFOG
19. Diamondback - Kings Island
20. Orion - Kings Island
21. The Beast - Kings Island
22. Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motor Bike Adventure - Universal Islands of Adventure
23. Mako- SWO
24. Thunderhead - Dollywood
25. Manta - SWO
Just saying you shouldn't say SFGA because that could be referring to Six flags great adventure or six flags great america
@@eelovfx9200 Fair, I kinda just copied my list from my document I have where I know everything so I just abbreviate. However, thank you for the insight (:
my 1 and 2 are swapped right now but i just rode velocicoaster 2 days ago and el toro a couple years ago, even though it’s at my home park. covid yk
maybe it’ll switch once i ride toro again since i have a season pass we’ll see!
Solid top 25
@@eelovfx9200 Or Six Flags Georgia
I honestly can't believe that Maverick isn't on this list. Sure it isn't the biggest or the fastest but it is an intense coaster that just doesn't quit. It's one of my favorites for sure.
I agree I think maverick should be on the list
As someone who visits Silver Dollar city every year I am very happy to see Outlaw run number 9 on the list, the night ride on it is INSANE.
I wish I could reride it for the first time because MY LORD ITS INSANE
I've done Eejinika maybe 15x and it never gets old. It's so crazy you can't believe they built something so nuts. It's something everyone needs try atleast once in a lifetime.
Millennium Force at #21 was a bit lower than I expected, especially when you ranked Fury 325 at #10 and Intimidator 305 at #5. When you described the constant speed rush of the other two coasters, I felt like that described my feelings riding Millennium Force. The speed is the thing on these type of gigacoasters, and Millennium Force starts at 93 mph and ends at 60 mph. It's highway speeds and more through the entire ride, and that's what I loved so much. In a way, you could say Millennium Force was the successful prototype of coasters of its type, whose descendants could take the best parts of the original and improve upon them. Millennium Force is 22 years old this year! Give some love to the OG giga coaster.
It's his opinion
He said that these coasters are in the top 5% of every coaster he’s rode. Pretty much he thinks its a great coaster, even though it is “low” on his list
Well said family 👊👊
Fury better
Positive are way better than speed and i305 has the best positives ever and not noticeable speed difference between any of the other baby gigas in comparison to I305
Being from California, GhostRider was my first roller coaster! I still remember the anxiety that filled within me hearing the clicks and seeing how high we were going lol. But after the ride, my mind was blown away!! I’m glad you enjoyed it as well!
Ghost rider almost made me piss myself
Ghostrider is my favorite coaster so far
Colossus was my first, but I think Ghostrider was the first that really scared me as a kid. One middle school bet of 'Every time one of us chickens out on a coaster the other rides, the chicken owes $5' at magic mountain cured me of any coaster hesitancy- I even came out ahead by being the only one to ride Superman. Now the higher and faster the better, but I have a real soft spot for rough woodies.
Riding it at night is a completely different experience, especially in the last car. I felt like I was free falling on the first drop.
Out of all the lists I’ve seen so far, I feel like this one is the best. Some things would be altered in my opinion and based on what I’ve ridden, but based on your experiences and explanations I highly respect it.
i just went on the velocicoaster two times last week and i can’t stop thinking about it. it gave me a feeling i’ve never had before in life !!! im so happy you mentioned it and loved it, makes me so happy inside as i grew up in florida and at least this coaster put us on the map. thank you for your videos !!
I’m happy Millennium Force made the list! It is so awesome with perfect pacing, forces, and speed. I think it’s super underrated and it’s in my top 3.
if millies lift hill was launched would it be numbe 1 in the world
that's based as hell
honestly millie was hellla under whelming. it had a good drop then meandered around the rest of the time. basically no forces. and it was a short ride. its my 5 at the park I prefer gate keeper and valraven.
And great station music!
@@Dogcitydisco god tier station music.
Velocicoaster is by far one of the most fun rides i've ever been on. So glad to see someone else enjoyed it just as much.
Awesome list! Here is my top 10
10: Skyrush
9: Diamondback
8: Twisted Timbers
7: Intimidator 305
6: Phantom’s Revenge
5: Orion
4: Maverick
3: Fury 325
2: El Toro
1: Steel Vengeance
I respect your list but only because Ryan told me to.
Steel Vengeance is mine too.
Maverick is amazing.
Nice to see Twisted Timbers and I305 going so high on the list. One of my favorites also, and I feel like a lot of other people do not give it enough credit for how insane it is!
but but.... Volcano... im just praying we get another insane intamin. I know they are unreliable as hell. But damn if they arent my favorite to ride.
One of Airtime thrills favorite rollercoasters, I nearly spit my drink out when I heard that!!😂
14:20 "Next up is Skyrush at Hershey park, one of Airtime Thrills' favorite rollercoasters" that made me laugh so much, nice call out to Chris lol
Shivering Timbers is one of my all time favorites having grown up an hour from Michigan's Adventure. Glad to see it getting some love!
I’ve only ridden coasters from SF Magic Mountain and Discovery Kingdom so I don’t have experience on probably 99% of these, but I feel like I’ve learned about what it must be like to ride them all. I rode every coaster that was open on my last trip to Magic Mountain in September and X2 and Twisted Colossus are my top 2. West Coast Racers and Full Throttle are both awesome rides and really turn up the “fun factor,” as I call it. Sadly, Tatsu was down so I didn’t get to ride that.
Great, informative rankings here. You’ve got a new sub here. 👍
Thanks for showing my #1, Skyrush, some love! The restraints don’t bother me at all, and the absolute joy going down that first hill is unmatched by anything else.
The rest of my top 5: Twisted Timbers, Stormrunner, Wicked Cyclone, and I305… if I can manage not to black out on I305 at some point, it will definitely move up in the rankings. I can’t wait to hear that “Gentlemen, start your engines!” opening again and launch up the hill, wondering if this is going to be the ride I get to stay awake throughout!
So close to my top 3, Skyrush, I305 and Fury 325. You have good taste. Lol
21 USA, 3x Japan 1x Mexico. Have you been to Europe my friend?
If steel vengeance isn’t number 1 I think airtime thrills may go after u and steal every other credit
Great list! My friend and I were disappointed that ElToro was still closed when we went in July but were thrilled to ride JD and Kingda Ka. I'm looking forward to returning again in 2023. In 2019 I visited my cousin in Los Angeles and treated her to Knotts Scary Farm. As she was 60 at the time and turned me down to go to Six Flags since she wasn't a rollercoaster fan I expected to ride Knotts' coasters solo. Well she surprised me by riding everything I did, which was every coaster that was open! Including Hang Time, Accelerator and Silver Bullet. Ghost Rider was the first and we re-rode it on the way out! Each time squeezing my arm numb. Awesome ride and great times!
A Morgan Hyper in your Top Ten 😭🤍 Love that
11:55 glad hades made it on the list love that coaster!
Yooooo I didn’t know airtime thrills loved skyrush! He must really like being stapled because that ride staples so much. I wonder how he makes it not hurt??
Jokes aside great video, you’ve ridden so many coasters! Good to see some more underrated Japanese and Mexican coasters that not as many people talk about.
I’m not a roller coaster enthusiast, in fact, I have an intense fear of coasters but I am fascinated by them, their engineering, design, etc. (and I’m originally from NJ like you so I’m especially partial to your channel lol) but I’m always so happy you put the Japanese coasters on your list! My friends always try to get me to go on Flying Dinosaur and I’m like, if it’s on Ryan’s list, I will for sure black out, so no thank u!!! Your lists always help me 😂
Got to ride the intimidator 305 for the first time finally and got to experience the tunnels closing in around my eyes for the first time. I was not ready for the amount of force after that first drop but I'm absolutely in love now. Can't wait to go back.
SFFT is my home park, and it's always nice to see others feeling the same love of Iron Rattler that I do!
Outlaw Run Freakin slaps. For people going to Silver dollar city the back row is more agressive but the second to back is more smooth. Both give insane but different air time.
Carowinds!!!! Fury!!!! Nice!!!!
I'm from N.C
and work at the park. Nice to see we made the top10💙
This review was amazing bro. Jurassic World Velicoaster deserved that rank. Absolutely insane.
Karnan- Hansa park/ Ride to happiness- Plopsaland/ Taron & FLY in Phantasialand/ Superman atracction de acero- Parque Warner/ iSpeed- Mirabilandia/ Kondaa- Walibi Belgium. Non- usa list.
I am so psyched that Shivering Timbers was so high on your list!! It was the second coaster I ever rode at 7, and it was the biggest thrill of my young life!! It's still my favorite wooden coaster!
Velocicoaster at #4, didn’t expect this from you, I’m really happy you put it that high though, it’s my #1, even after riding the best coasters in the USA
Your video always manage to entertain me. It was cool to see Twisted Timbers and I305 jump in your rankings. Heres my top 10 cause my cred count in low.
1. Steel Vengeance
2. Skyrush
3. Intimidator 305
4. Fury 325
5. Twisted Timbers
6. Maverick
7. Copperhead Strike
8. Alpengeist
9. Afterburn
10. Millennium Force
agreed, all cedar point rides should be top 10
Lived 23 years of my life in Toms River New Jersey. By far my favorite coaster I’ve ridden is el toro. Just moved across the country to Colorado this past year and I miss sfga way too much. Here’s to hoping el toro reopens in 2022. That ride is too good to stay down for this long!
Looking forward to the velocicoaster technical analysis
Happy to see mr.freeze in this, have grown up going to the sister in STL, and has long since been one of my all time favorites. With the tracks split so you can have a forward or reverse launch (some people couldn’t handle the reverse) it makes for an awesome experience.
One of the few coasters I wait the little bit extra to sit in the back so you’re all the way at the top staring straight down.
I’m from STL myself and was actually legit surprised to see someone put a STL flags coaster (or mirror coaster) on their list haha I got excited
As a GAm fan I'm happy that Goliath even got an honorable mention
“One of AirtimeThrills favorite rollercoasters” lmfao that got me 😂💀 keep up the great work man! Love your videos!
I feel like my top 7 of Fury325, Intimidator 305, SV, X2 Millennium Force, Orion and Dragster are essentially my anti depression medications.
and steel vengeance
You are living my dream brother! I've dreamed about traveling the world and riding every coaster I can since the first time I rode Titan at Six Flags Over Texas over 20 years ago. I'm so happy to see Mr Freeze getting some well deserved love as it's definitely my favorite I've ridden so far (although I miss when it shot out going forwards). Awesome video man, I'll be sure to keep watching, Keep on screaming brother! 🎢
“El Toro gives this channel half of its identity”
Technically, it gives 3/5 of the identity as it takes up 6 of the channel name’s 10 letters.
But with its block zones, it fills in the other 2/5th of the letters. In case you weren't aware, a block zone is........
I'm glad you covered Michigan's Adventure. It's my home park and while it's not big it's so much fun. You make us michiganders happy.
As a Michigan native, I was wondering if Shivering Timbers may make your list. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much you respect it! It's been a long time since I've rode it, but I remember having a world class rollercoaster experience that I was not expecting when I rode it.
Dude youre videos are so entertaining! Thank you for making a space, where I don't feel like a weirdo for being so obsessed with rollercoasters!!!❤❤ much love bra
I’ve ridden 3 in your top 25....millennium force, iron rattler, and el toro. El toro is by far the best. So many people in nj take it for granted...nothing like an intense woodie
I will never forget my first and only ride (so far) on Steel Vengeance. I was with my cousin, we rode the back seat, and after the first drop, I screamed the entire time. When we hit the final break run, I could barely speak, but I was able to whimper, "What the hell just happened?" No other coaster has been able to pull that off for me. Simply magnificent.
no he’s so wrong steel vengeance is the best
This is kind of like that time my hubby and I got tats. He held my hand like he was having a baby
The wickerman and the Smiler at Alton towers UK are no way near as long as some of the coasters mentioned in this video but pack way more intense loops, drops, and airtime than most mentioned here in such short rides.
We just got back from Alton Towers and the Smiler is actually insane!
Too bad this man aint british cuz he aint even went near Alton Towers or Blackpool. Definitely smiler is the best ride I have ever ridden, the small air time hill just after one of the inversions shakes up the ride and the wickerman absolutely tosses other woodies aside with a unique and thrilling experience that your going to hit your head. Another honourable mention you didnt say is definitely Oblivion as it may be short it still packs a punch with its vertical drop and Nemesis will always be the OG flying coaster and will always live in my heart as the best. Another great thing to mention about all of the rides at alton towers is that they interact with the queue lines and a great thing about blackpool is the rides interlap with other rides and make a thrilling experience. The UK is definitely a pot of gold for thrilling rollercoasters.
@@GekoIsCool See, the creator of this video and most of the people here in the comments section are american and apparantly, they only seen some massive coasters in the US or Japan. They have no idea of really good coasters, built into the terrain such as Nemesis (Alton Towers), Black Mamba (Phantasialand) or Oblivion (Alton Towers), neither have they seen any multi inversion or launched coasters built on smallest space such as The Smiler (Alton Towers) or the insane launche of Taron (Phantasialand). And, if you're talking about woodys here, Colossos at Heide Park definetely earns a spot in that list. So...this whole list is just a shame for every coaster fan, who seen a bit more than the US... *bows*
over 550 different coasters...wow...500 of 'em in the US, 10 in Mexico and 40 in Japan...congratulations...there's some defenitely better ones in Canada's Wonderland, you better should grab a map, mate.
Alton Towers (UK), Phantasialand (GER), Europa-Park (GER), Energylandia (POL), Heide-Park (GER), Thorpe-Park (UK), Parc Astérix (FRA), Walibi Belgium (BEL) and Holland (NED)...you should consider those as destination for your next real coaster holiday!
I've been on all the GCIs in America and had a terrible day on Goldstriker. It was super slow, grindy and rough. I rode it early, mid day and at night and that never changed. It actually felt to me like the wheels weren't round or something. I must have hit it on a bad day or something because it isn't even close to a top GCI from my experiences on it. So glad to see people giving Hades 360 some love. That ride is INSANE. Awesome to see Outlaw Run getting credit as well. That is another criminally underrated ride.
The feeling of knowing you've just ridden your new #1 coaster is pretty special, that happened this month with Taron. As a European who hasn't visited anywhere in the US other than Florida since childhood, I'm embarrassed not to have ridden ANY of these. I get the feeling my top 5 will have changed a lot by the time I have...
You don’t have to come here to know that El Toro is the best rollercoaster in the US!!
You can also go to Japan and just ride the top 2 coasters in the world: Eejanaika and Hakugei.

Sad to see not a single comment list Taron. Its a gem for sure.
Great List! Ghostrider is definitely one of my favourites! Although, I would have given The Mindbender at Galaxyland in the West Edmonton Mall at least an honourable mention, being by far the best indoor coaster I've ever ridden (personally, this is in my top 5)!

@@clarence5211 Yes they are great, but I also have yet to do Phantasialand, Europa Park and Port aventura. Once I have done those parks, my top 10 will change probably. I also have yet to do Kondaa and that tomorrowland coaster. I think they will come in the top 10.
My number one has and always will be The Beast, for nostalgia purposes and the fact this was the first "big" coaster I rode with my mom! I even had the book when I was a kid 🤣 still legendary night rides to this day
@Spike S Yeah they're retracking, including large portions of the helix, they are also reprofiling the first drop which will now be steeper! I haven't been to Winterfest at all yet- hope you had a great time!
My favourite roller coaster as well, and I had that book too.
I305 gives an incredible night ride. There are barely words to describe how it feels hauling through that field in the pitch black.
Great list. My new #1 is definitely Velocicoaster.
For the longest time it was Superman Ride of steel/ bizarro. If only they fixed the horrible horrible restraints, I think it will instantly shoot back up to man top ten lists status.
I would love to go to Japan for the coasters you mentioned, but also super Nintendo world!
So surprised, but glad to see Shivering timbers on your list! Michigan's adventure is in desperate need of another great coaster to complement it.
I only have 17 credits (sad) so I haven't ridden most of the ones on my list and it is hard to tell when I haven't ridden them so uhhh yeah here it is:

Yess happy to see boulder dash made the list. I grew up on that ride my first coaster ever, in my head it’s the best
Coaster Idiot opinions are scientific fact. Except Uncle Nate saying Millennium is boring. That's just false.
I would like it if you included more international rollercoasters in the video
I rode my first coaster back in December. Hulk at Universal Orlando. It was a lot of fun, my stomach wasn’t ready for it so I couldn’t bring myself to ride Velocicoaster, I kick myself for that every day but I’m going back this year and I’m definitely gonna ride it then.
Soooo much love for the woodies!!! Glad to see shivering timbers get the props it deserves. Has been top 10 for me for a long time.
Skyrush is so insane it snapped my back like a friend giving me a huge bear hug.
Great list! And I laughed out loud at your fake-out for #1… Night Hawk is definitely one of my all-time least favorite coasters (and Fury325 is my all-time favorite)!!
I was surprised to see Mr. Freeze make the list, but it is well deserved, it also has some of the best ride theming out of any six flags park.
Man need to go to bush gardens Williamsburg. Me and my family took our non adrenaline junky to this roller coaster called verbolten. From what we could see it was a nice and calm ride with a bit of a drop but nothing to crazy
Let just say the non adrenaline junky almost passed out it had 2 hydrologic launches and great air time hills.
By far one of my favorite rides
Shoutout mr freeze reverse blast. We 100% need more of those around the world
23:05 I have ridden two coasters in my life. Both yesterday and both at Kings Dominion. 305 was my second and it was at 9pm. As a 32 year old who has just experienced coasters...man...glad I got on 305.
I like ElSellOutRyan. I'm always glad to see when talented content creators make money.
You GOTTA try the Pantheon at Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, VA......its CRAZY! I also love the Verbolten there it is one of my top 5.....although they have a bunch of great coasters there and I didnt see ANY of them on this list. Have you ever been there? I know Pantheon is new this year but I would have thought one of them would have been in your top 25.
So glad Velocicoaster made the list. I live in Orlando now and it’s definitely the king of coasters here. I am all smiles the entire time I ride. When people ask what makes it so great it’s hard to pick one thing… I often go with “it’s just a marvel of engineering.”
Finally got to ride Intimidator 305 over the weekend and I was really glad to see it in your top 5. It lived up to all the hype and then some, unlike Fury 325.
Thanks for all the great technical videos, hopefully Cedar Fair will see your video on Intimidator 305 and swap it with Orion at Kings Island. Of course that is a bigger dream than your Millennium Force station unload changes for 2 train operation!
El Toro is fantastic. I only have one recommendation: don’t go during Fright Fest and ride 3 times in a row, your heart will be jumping out of your chest
Completely agreed. One of the underrated things on Twisted Colossus is how the 2nd car goes wild when you realize you're going to Duel, and how they cheer the other train on.
I seriously don't get when they don't hold you at the bottom of the list hill (there's a brake run there) so that you duel every time
Cool to see Boulder Dash gettin some respect put on its name.
Lake Compounce is the closest park to me with a good coaster, and Boulder Dash was my first woody coaster.
Your last sentence about Phoenix is a great summary of the coaster’s appeal.
