I love lists for which one quickly feels that the listmaker’s personal experiences alone are determining everything, not conventional wisdom or consensus. Even though I disagree with so many choices here, I thoroughly enjoyed your list, because it feels real and valuable, taking me along to some extent with your experiences over the years.
I actually released mine today as well where I also discuss my choices if you feel inclined to watch it. I don't like the lists just with music either.
Honestly watch this once a week because it shows so many povs of so many different rides and it breaks them down so quick. I mean I love the ranks as well but you're simplicity of your editing and commentary makes it so rewatchable.
I see we rank Mystic Timbers and Millennium Force very similarly as we have them next to one another in that respective order. As you know, I am in love with Diamondback and I am so happy to see that you have it ranked so highly even having been on over 400 coasters. In fact, you even have it a couple spots ahead of where I do! This was awesome to watch.
SFGA is my home park, and I remember I was so terrified of RB and the first time I rode this, I got stuck on the lift and had a panic attack... It's currently my favorite, right up there with AE and Viper. That's the only park I've every been to, considering I'm a minor. I am dying to get to cedar point and magic mountain.
Coaster is about 40 spots too low... at least. Also seeing how similarly Phoenix is placed, that'll probably be a top 10 ride for me. Viper bumped up this year too, for me. Consistently running great across every visit and my Fright Fest rides were hauling ass. American Thunder is fun but I now haven't ridden it in 3 years so my memory is fairly weak. I share your opinion of Lightning Run. Very fun, but not too amazing. Love Kraken so much, glad to see it get represented. Outlaw Run needs some re-riding, it was barely rough in every row this past June and really seemed to be a perfect ride for me. It's my #6 for a reason. Raptor is excellent and never has a line. Ridden it many times for good reasons, B&M Inverts are my favorite coaster type for a reason. I much prefer Raptor to Banshee but it's still a fun ride. Valravn is whatever, since riding SheiKra I like it less. But I still have some good memories from it. Maverick in 2016 was truly incredible and would probably still be in my top 10 today but 2018 Maverick was less impressive. Still such a winner, though. Mmmm... Montu is incredible. I don't remember where but I think it's either my #10 or just outside it. Hopefully you'll ride Nemesis soon in the coming years, as it's easily the best one I've done. Goliath was running a little lesser this year but still a pretty fucking awesome coaster. I'm still pissed about missing SFOG's Goliath and Twisted Cyclone. But the stupid park needs to get their act together earlier in the season. Loved Time Traveler but it really didn't deliver what I expected outside the back car, so I think it's a bit overrated. Voyage never disappoints. Absolutely flawless ride in my eyes, still a top 5 coaster after a few years. Magnum also never disappoints. Blew me away in 2016, held up in 2018. Can never get enough of the ejector at the end. Millennium Force also is a personal favorite. My 2018 rides were sooo good, especially after disappointing, nearly airtime-less rides in 2016. Storm Chaser is lit. I couldn't ride it for 2 days when I went to Louisville but the ejector is still arguably the strongest I've ever felt this side of Intamin. X2 is one of those coasters I'd pay money to travel to just for that ride alone. I only got 2 rides on it in 2017 but both times it left me breathless the whole way through, one of the only coasters to do such a thing. Raging Bull... yeah we've discussed this in the past, the comment section doesn't need to see it. Love Mako's high placement, my front row rides were flawless this past March. I need more rides on Twisted Colossus too. My 2017 visit was pretty much getting in as many credits as possible, so my next visit should be taking the time to enjoy the coasters. Everyone should budget for 2 days here. Lol Diamondback... haha... 2017 Lightning Rod was pretty much perfect for me, especially the back row. My favorite coaster I rode that opened this decade and my #2 overall, and every credit I have except for ONE is from 2011 and on up. Steel Vengeance was fantastic but inconsistent, another one I need to re-ride. I love that I've come to the point in my life as an enthusiast where I literally don't care if a coaster is in a different spot than mine. The video was very well done and the list so different from the norm. Hopefully sooner rather than later I can get back into coaster UA-cam, but I got some NEW video recording sunglasses for Christmas today so who knows :) I'll use them the first time at Holiday In The Park later this week.
My family is taking a trip up to both Cedar Point and Kings Island this summer to celebrate my brother and I graduating our respective schools and my last year with them before moving out. First time I've ever been to either park or a Cedar Fair park at all. I can't wait to add some more credits to my own list. I have nowhere near as many as most enthusiasts, but just getting Steel Vengeance on that list alone is going to make this trip worth it to me. Cedar Point is one of those parks I never thought I'd actually get to go to and this trip has me feeling a little star struck. Edit: This aged like milk
I’ve had a membership to Busch gardens for three years now and I can say that some days apollo runs as you describe it, and others it’s one of the best B&M hyper experiences.
I thought intimidator had plenty of airtime and of course it was intense. It was just a well balanced coaster to me. The restraints felt non existent too. Plus I'm not really an airtime junkie. I feel as tho a coaster doesn't need to have a ton of airtime go be good.
Great list! I can tell you love the classic hypers. They're not as big a deal to me, but we all have our own preferences. I liked seeing Steel Eel on the list. I finally got back on it recently, and it was worlds better than I remember. I totally agree with you on the RMC raptors. I have them at about the exact same spots. And I agree about Wicked Cyclone being top 10 worthy.
Merry Christmas Chris! If you happen to be visiting Magic Mountain for lunch (or somehow have the day off) on Thursday, Jan. 16, I will be there getting my 400th credit. I'm planning on it being Twisted Colossus, because of my love for RMC's. I'm visiting Knott's the day before (my first ever visit) and will then spend 2 days at MM, which I visited once in 2000. I would love to say hi and it would be awesome to ride my 400th with another enthusiast. I know it's a long shot, but let me know if you might visit that day!
There’s a lot of very interesting takes on here, which I like. Nice to see a UA-cam enthusiast with some different opinions, and being very open and honest with them. A lot of people’s top lists tend to be very similar. Just goes to show that there is variance in people’s preferences in what they enjoy in a ride, and there is no right or wrong answer.
I think that list is really good and I love all your videos. I rode voyage this summer and I didn't have high expectations for it and I was blown away. It even beat SV for me so I'm surprised by your list. But keep up the good work your videos are great!
Happy Holidays! Great to see the Bull in your top ten. I rode last weekend, excellent ride in cold weather in the middle of the train. X-flight was awesom too!
A-T-T, - Ohio also has a small 2 coaster park located just 30 miles away from kings island named Stricker's Grove. With only 4 public operating dates per year, It's a hard credit to get. Dates include July 4th, 2nd sun in aug, and labor day.
In 2019, Magnum XL-200 added some thick padding to each of the restraint bars, and it was a nice improvement. No more thigh-crushing on those bunny hills towards the end of the ride. It might even be enough of an improvement to move Magnum a bit higher in your rankings.
Apollo's Chariot biggest loser of 2019??? I rode it in August of this year and it was running fantastically! 5 back row rides throughout the day and the floater airtime was heavenly. I absolutely love this coaster!
El Toro back row is the most wild ride I have ever been on in my life. Its is terrifying and hilarious at the same time. I'm always laughing my ass off at the end of that ride. The last 30 seconds are completly insane!
6 COASTERS FROM AMERICA'S ROLLER COAST. PRETTY IMPRESSIVE. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT CEDAR POINTS NEW COASTER IS FOR 2021. AWESOME FOR RESPECTING MAGNUM XL200. ONE OF THE BEST EJECTOR AIRTIME COASTERS ON THE PLANET.
As someone who has been going to Cedar Point every year since I was 5, I've always liked magnum, but I rode it again this summer and it was WAY rougher than I remember. I actually felt like a got a concussion from it (hello old Mean Streak). I hope they continue to maintain it well.
YESSS THANK YOU FOR GIVING RAGING BULL ITS JUSTICE!!!! Everyone says it’s the weakest hyper, it’s at my home park I ride it soo much. It isn’t that bad, some of the twister elements give some airtime. THANKS!!
I’ve been waiting for your 2019 list. It’s a solid list!! *im glad to see 2 of my hometown rollercoasters on your list - Storm Chaser and Lightning Run *im also glad to see some of my favorite rides in nearby home parks - Diamondback, Banshee (I agree it’s better than Raptor) and The Voyage (my favorite woodie).
Most UA-camrs would say outlaw run is better than most RMC’s but you didn’t I won’t argue I respect your opinion.I love your content because of your different opinions and humor
I KNOW I commented on this video already but the last one was just on coaster #46. Let me talk about the whole video. I only recently heard you now live in Oklahoma which puts you closer to my home park as well as myself. I actually visited Oklahoma not long ago and saw your new home park which I understand your situation. I hope maybe I can one day do a coaster road trip and hopefully visit the coasters you've ridden. In this list I've only ridden #46, 39, 30, and 15. Yeah. It's small. Hopefully I'll get to visit the other places you mentioned. :)
I've never been to Ceder Point but it is one of my dream destinations! I've only heard good things about this park and Steel Vengeance is the top of my list of coasters I want to try.
How To Play Everything Superman is in my Top 5 and Wickie is in my top 10. I feel like Superman is amazing if you sit right, and I can only imagine how awesome it was with the T bars
I have been in every seat on Raging Bull. If one sits in the back 3 rows, there is plenty of Airtime. I agree it's the most underrated B&M. I'm happy to see it crack your top 10. Thanks for the Great America Love.
Silver Dollar City is my home park and honestly, I have Outlaw Run in my top 5 coasters that I have been on in the U.S. (not that many, only about 70 or so) and Time Traveler does not even make my top 10. The spinning aspect and theming are great but the ride doesn't reach a high enough speed to be very thrilling. I do really enjoy that there is no lift hill and you just drop straight from the station. I guess I would consider it a good starter coaster for kids and a great family coaster. You should try to make it out for another visit. Make sure not to go until summer tho cuz mystic river falls will be opening in June I believe.
And for comparison, I love Twisted Colossus as well! Although, I would have to say that if it is not dueling, I for sure prefer a ride on Outlaw Run when it is hauling, or a night ride, because u literally can't see anything.
Great List 👍 Six Flags Great Adventure and New England getting some Love. Nitro very underated, Superman classic steel, Wicked Cyclone great layout pacing and inversions and El Toro my all time #1. Now all we need is to bring up I305 on the list 🤷♂️
Sadly I haven't been on any coasters this year (its been a rough year) but I hope 2020 I get to make it to Knotts or to Magic Mountain to ride WCR and get my first ever ride on TC and Tatsu
I haven't been on a single U.S coaster (yet), but your list makes me want to change that asap! My top 5 bucket list coasters in the U.S: 5. X2 (a dream of mine since I was a wee enthusiast) 4. El Toro (I need to know how different it is to Balder) 3. Twisted Colossus (the dueling coaster dueling for my heart) 2. Steel Vengeance (do I even have to give an explanation, honestly?) 1. Kingda Ka (call me basic af, but height and intense launches are my jam)
You really need to come to Europe ones and also to Belgium in 2021, then we are opening 2 amazing coasters. One in plosaland the Mack ride extreme spinner and one in walibi Belgium the amazing Intamin mega. I hope you will ever make it out to here.
Definitely try to come out to Europe one day, if you can! I highly recommend my old home park, Liseberg in Gothenburg Sweden. My new home park, Gröna Lund in Stockholm?.... Yeah. lol Not so much.
I like your Wicked Cyclone pick. I don't know if I'd rank it so high, but I don't think it gets enough credit. Maybe it's just the nostalgia from riding Cyclone at Riverside as a kid though.
Great list! I have been on 31 of your top 50 and have quite a few others planned for 2020. Glad to see you corrected the mistake and put Maverick ahead of Valravn! Now if you could put Dragster ahead of it. :)
A bit late but awesome list, Raging Bull’s first drop is very intriguing to me as I hear more and more people talk about it but it’s also great to hear that the twister layout is great. Merry Christmas !🎄
Nitro is right behind Torro for me at Great Adventure. I actually had a few minutes after riding Torro where I had to consider which I preferred. But I’ve ridden Nitro twice and Torro only once. I need to ride it more before I decide where to place it. In my top 3 definitely. I can’t decide if I like Nitro more than Steel Force. I’ve ridden Steel Force more and got a killer ride in September. Front row completely dark except for the lights on the lift hill, way too much room, and the ride was hauling! But nitro is more intense. Top 3 is torro twisted timbers and I305 and not necessarily in that order. I305 is the only one of those not known for it’s ejector. But it’s so crazy and intense that it couldn’t not be ranked high for me. That ride taught me what whippy transitions were and is still the only ride I grayed out on.
My Home Park is SFGAm. I've discovered there is a difference between best and favorite. While I recognize the superiority of Goliath and Raging Bull and consider them tied for best coaster at the park, Viper is actually my personal favorite. I'm a huge airtime fan, it always seems smooth to me, has a nice speed, and I love the visuals from so much of the track going through the supports for upper levels. Overall it is just a fun coaster that I love so much it outranks the best coasters at the park for me :) I'd love to ride it w/ you if you make your way here in 2020
Dude I love your channel, raging bull is also one of my favorite b&m hypers, you still have ur opinions even if their not popular unlike other coaster channels
49. I really like Viper. Theme Park Crazy has a t-shirt that says "you can never go wrong with a B&M hyper" (and there's one right next to Viper, Raging Bull). When it comes to woodies, you can never go wrong with a Coney Island Cyclone layout.
Interesting countdown for sure, especially when I compared it to mine. At the very least where does Tatsu fall? I love flying on the hilltop it's one of my favorite experiences! It seems we like the same rides yet completely different rides all at the same time.

I go to six flags new england regularly since it is the closest major park to me, and i was so hoping to see wicked cyclone on here. I was almost disappointed reaching top 10 cuz i didnt think it would reach that high. Now im disappointed that theres only a few better coasters lmao. although i still havent ridden a hyper yet
Time traveler will probably get me so sick. Watching these coasters is making me dizzy but I love roller coasters! I would go on these anyways and then get sick!
Your credit count is huge, especially because I think I've heard you say before that you haven't done Europe or Japan yet. Congrats, man. Love the channel.
Impressed with the budget you get to travel as much as you get to. Maybe it's time to coordinate so that three parks in a week happen ( Re holiday, Kings, Kentucky on the same trip).
@@riolaaaey9875 Banshee is trash. I'm triggered that he put a poc over Viper, I305, Skyrush and actually good inverts. He has some of the weirdest opinions out there.
Viper almost ended pretty bad for me when I went during Fright Fest this year. First they had to do maintenance the train before I got on as well as my lap bar was extremely loose for my skinny ass legs so I’m fully out of my seat while going through the great airtime.
Excellent list!!! Been waiting for this! ☺️I almost fell over seeing how high you ranked Raging Bull! lol SFGAm is my home park and I really enjoy this coaster, so it makes me sad when it gets as much hate as it usually does. Excited for you to ride Maxx Force soon!
My only tiny quibble is that you might have forgotten Riddler's Revenge. Also, My guts got airtime on X2, (and that's on the smaller dips later in the ride, since all 4 times I rode it I was in the back row). Love that you included Coaster at Playland, (the best woodie I've ridden); Ghost Rider, Twisted Colossus, Millennium Force, and of course Steal Vengeance, which is probably also my favourite coaster. It's only flaw are that the restraints are so tight I gotta remember next time to tuck in sensitive parts of my body, and that's on the double up to the MCBR, which I rode in the back car (car six/row 11 and 12) 8 out of 10 times I rode it, the other two times car 4 and 5 respectively. I'm generally a back car enthusiast, but although I can appreciate the front: If the back car hurt me on that double up then I'm actually dreading riding that part of it in the front car whenever I get a chance to ride it again, when there isn't more than one train ops like when I was there in May 2018. Otherwise it's a flawless ride. My top 4 bucket list coasters are Diamondback, El Toro, Jersey Devil and Fury 325. Thanks for yet another awesome video, and Merry Christmas, or whatever winter solstice appropriated holiday you celebrate.
@@AirtimeThrills Ok fair enough; I was only curious. BTW I also forgot to mention that of all 5 of the B&M inverts I've ridden so far, Raptor is my favourite. However: Katun looks to me to be the best.

I was thinking of writing a comment exactly like that. Thank you.
Really happy to see GhostRider and X2 so high, great list and video
Troy are you a coaster guy too
TROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOYYYYYYYYYYY
Huh didn’t know Troy likes rollercoasters, especially the ones from Knott’s
@TWD98 your one of my favorite youtubers
Troy is a thoosie confirmed
The top 3 is like the basic enthusiast starter pack top three
EpicPhantom haven’t seen it, but I’d guess it’s SV, El Toro, and Voyage
Bruh Sound efffect 2 close, SV, Toro, and Fury
Well they are the basic enthusiast starter pack top 3 for a reason. They're great
It's almost like they are good rides or something.
Y'all are snorting something, it's obviously speedy Gonzales, air Grover, and lil phantom

I love lists for which one quickly feels that the listmaker’s personal experiences alone are determining everything, not conventional wisdom or consensus. Even though I disagree with so many choices here, I thoroughly enjoyed your list, because it feels real and valuable, taking me along to some extent with your experiences over the years.
I like it how you didn't just list them like other youtuber's do but rather talk for a small amount of time for each ride. Love it!
I actually released mine today as well where I also discuss my choices if you feel inclined to watch it. I don't like the lists just with music either.

Ayy a shout-out for Ghostrider.
As a Knott's employee I can agree how fun the ride is. 👌
Raging Bull is the most underrated coaster of all time
SFGA is my home park. Have had great rides on it, and ones where the trims ruin the entire thing. Really just depends on the ride ops.
Home park, raging bull is awesome. My first hyper coster
I love Raging Bull too. Great America is my home park. I ride it anytime I can
SFGA is my home park, and I remember I was so terrified of RB and the first time I rode this, I got stuck on the lift and had a panic attack... It's currently my favorite, right up there with AE and Viper. That's the only park I've every been to, considering I'm a minor. I am dying to get to cedar point and magic mountain.

I'm still pissed about missing SFOG's Goliath and Twisted Cyclone. But the stupid park needs to get their act together earlier in the season.
Loved Time Traveler but it really didn't deliver what I expected outside the back car, so I think it's a bit overrated.
Voyage never disappoints. Absolutely flawless ride in my eyes, still a top 5 coaster after a few years.
Magnum also never disappoints. Blew me away in 2016, held up in 2018. Can never get enough of the ejector at the end.

I agree Time Traveler is better than Outlaw Run, but disagree with Magnum being better than Maverick. Solid list though 👍

When you ride steel vengeance it's gonna be #1
Oof this is all over the place dang
Who needs Christmas Eve when you have airtime thrills?
This list is so understandable
I’ve had a membership to Busch gardens for three years now and I can say that some days apollo runs as you describe it, and others it’s one of the best B&M hyper experiences.
My favorite ride is Wicked Cyclone. The airtime on the drop and hills, and the inversions are all incredible. I am glad you like it so much
Yes thank you. I 305 I not very good. It lacks in airtime and good restraints. I got staples until I couldn’t feel my legs on it
Some people love intensity more than anything, but to me its just mehh
I thought intimidator had plenty of airtime and of course it was intense. It was just a well balanced coaster to me. The restraints felt non existent too. Plus I'm not really an airtime junkie. I feel as tho a coaster doesn't need to have a ton of airtime go be good.
424?? Oh no you’re only 10 away from me! 😛
Nice list. Fully agree on Wicked Cyclone. I prefer the longer RMCs.
Great list! I can tell you love the classic hypers. They're not as big a deal to me, but we all have our own preferences. I liked seeing Steel Eel on the list. I finally got back on it recently, and it was worlds better than I remember. I totally agree with you on the RMC raptors. I have them at about the exact same spots. And I agree about Wicked Cyclone being top 10 worthy.
Merry Christmas Chris! If you happen to be visiting Magic Mountain for lunch (or somehow have the day off) on Thursday, Jan. 16, I will be there getting my 400th credit. I'm planning on it being Twisted Colossus, because of my love for RMC's. I'm visiting Knott's the day before (my first ever visit) and will then spend 2 days at MM, which I visited once in 2000. I would love to say hi and it would be awesome to ride my 400th with another enthusiast. I know it's a long shot, but let me know if you might visit that day!
TC would be an awesome 400th, but not likely I'll be getting out there during the week
I’ve been waiting for so long yay
There’s a lot of very interesting takes on here, which I like. Nice to see a UA-cam enthusiast with some different opinions, and being very open and honest with them. A lot of people’s top lists tend to be very similar. Just goes to show that there is variance in people’s preferences in what they enjoy in a ride, and there is no right or wrong answer.
I think that list is really good and I love all your videos. I rode voyage this summer and I didn't have high expectations for it and I was blown away. It even beat SV for me so I'm surprised by your list. But keep up the good work your videos are great!
Awesome list
Finally someone else who actually likes raging Bull
I agree with so much on this list
Outlaw run is a little low though
Happy Holidays! Great to see the Bull in your top ten. I rode last weekend, excellent ride in cold weather in the middle of the train. X-flight was awesom too!
There will always be a special place in my heart for X2. I waited 4 1/2 hours and it was WORTH it !!!
A-T-T, - Ohio also has a small 2 coaster park located just 30 miles away from kings island named Stricker's Grove. With only 4 public operating dates per year, It's a hard credit to get. Dates include July 4th, 2nd sun in aug, and labor day.
Great Video! I could see this list being pretty accurate from the reviews and stuff I’ve heard.
In 2019, Magnum XL-200 added some thick padding to each of the restraint bars, and it was a nice improvement. No more thigh-crushing on those bunny hills towards the end of the ride. It might even be enough of an improvement to move Magnum a bit higher in your rankings.
jpwcpa can’t forget about the tunnel sounds, lights, and fog for the its 30th anniversary (2019)!!!!! I am a Magnum fan through and through.
Finally someone acknowledges Viper at SFGAM. It’s one of my favorite wooden coasters
14:25 Holy crap that inversion on steel vengeance looks intense!
Apollo's Chariot biggest loser of 2019??? I rode it in August of this year and it was running fantastically! 5 back row rides throughout the day and the floater airtime was heavenly. I absolutely love this coaster!
I rode it in 2018 and it was my favorite of the park I think he just hit a bad day on it
@@wickedrides2613 Well yeah, he hit Busch Gardens Williamsburg in April of last year
El Toro back row is the most wild ride I have ever been on in my life. Its is terrifying and hilarious at the same time. I'm always laughing my ass off at the end of that ride. The last 30 seconds are completly insane!
This is why i love you. You and EL toro Ryan are so awesome with picking the best rides. But anyways love ya man love the vids and keep it up✌
Giving the fans what they want! Great video. Happy Holidays!!
6 COASTERS FROM AMERICA'S ROLLER COAST.
PRETTY IMPRESSIVE.
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT CEDAR POINTS NEW COASTER IS FOR 2021.
AWESOME FOR RESPECTING MAGNUM XL200.
ONE OF THE BEST EJECTOR AIRTIME COASTERS ON THE PLANET.
As someone who has been going to Cedar Point every year since I was 5, I've always liked magnum, but I rode it again this summer and it was WAY rougher than I remember. I actually felt like a got a concussion from it (hello old Mean Streak). I hope they continue to maintain it well.
YESSS THANK YOU FOR GIVING RAGING BULL ITS JUSTICE!!!! Everyone says it’s the weakest hyper, it’s at my home park I ride it soo much. It isn’t that bad, some of the twister elements give some airtime. THANKS!!
I’ve been waiting for your 2019 list. It’s a solid list!!
*im glad to see 2 of my hometown rollercoasters on your list - Storm Chaser and Lightning Run
*im also glad to see some of my favorite rides in nearby home parks - Diamondback, Banshee (I agree it’s better than Raptor) and The Voyage (my favorite woodie).
Most UA-camrs would say outlaw run is better than most RMC’s but you didn’t I won’t argue I respect your opinion.I love your content because of your different opinions and humor
I KNOW I commented on this video already but the last one was just on coaster #46. Let me talk about the whole video. I only recently heard you now live in Oklahoma which puts you closer to my home park as well as myself. I actually visited Oklahoma not long ago and saw your new home park which I understand your situation. I hope maybe I can one day do a coaster road trip and hopefully visit the coasters you've ridden. In this list I've only ridden #46, 39, 30, and 15. Yeah. It's small. Hopefully I'll get to visit the other places you mentioned. :)
wow, i think we underestimate how much footage and editing is required for a top 50 video. Great job
I've never been to Ceder Point but it is one of my dream destinations! I've only heard good things about this park and Steel Vengeance is the top of my list of coasters I want to try.
YESSS, SOMEONE UNDERSTANDS THE ELITE TOP 2 OF SIX FLAGS NEW ENGLAND!!! FINALLY!!!
IMO the only elite ride there is wicked cyclone, and superman is only a bit better than batman DK
How To Play Everything When you aren’t stapled, Superman is a phenomenal ride, so it just comes down to circumstance
ive heared
How To Play Everything Superman is in my Top 5 and Wickie is in my top 10. I feel like Superman is amazing if you sit right, and I can only imagine how awesome it was with the T bars
me too. They're both in my top 8!
I have been in every seat on Raging Bull. If one sits in the back 3 rows, there is plenty of Airtime. I agree it's the most underrated B&M. I'm happy to see it crack your top 10. Thanks for the Great America Love.
Silver Dollar City is my home park and honestly, I have Outlaw Run in my top 5 coasters that I have been on in the U.S. (not that many, only about 70 or so) and Time Traveler does not even make my top 10. The spinning aspect and theming are great but the ride doesn't reach a high enough speed to be very thrilling. I do really enjoy that there is no lift hill and you just drop straight from the station. I guess I would consider it a good starter coaster for kids and a great family coaster. You should try to make it out for another visit. Make sure not to go until summer tho cuz mystic river falls will be opening in June I believe.
And for comparison, I love Twisted Colossus as well! Although, I would have to say that if it is not dueling, I for sure prefer a ride on Outlaw Run when it is hauling, or a night ride, because u literally can't see anything.
Great List 👍 Six Flags Great Adventure and New England getting some Love. Nitro very underated, Superman classic steel, Wicked Cyclone great layout pacing and inversions and El Toro my all time #1. Now all we need is to bring up I305 on the list 🤷♂️
Sadly I haven't been on any coasters this year (its been a rough year) but I hope 2020 I get to make it to Knotts or to Magic Mountain to ride WCR and get my first ever ride on TC and Tatsu
Great Video! If you like mystic timbers and ghost rider you should definitely try to get on renegade next year.
I haven't been on a single U.S coaster (yet), but your list makes me want to change that asap!
My top 5 bucket list coasters in the U.S:
5. X2 (a dream of mine since I was a wee enthusiast)
4. El Toro (I need to know how different it is to Balder)
3. Twisted Colossus (the dueling coaster dueling for my heart)
2. Steel Vengeance (do I even have to give an explanation, honestly?)
1. Kingda Ka (call me basic af, but height and intense launches are my jam)
RIP Coaster Frenzy 😂😂😂
Glad to see magnum at 18!
You really need to come to Europe ones and also to Belgium in 2021, then we are opening 2 amazing coasters. One in plosaland the Mack ride extreme spinner and one in walibi Belgium the amazing Intamin mega. I hope you will ever make it out to here.
Definitely try to come out to Europe one day, if you can! I highly recommend my old home park, Liseberg in Gothenburg Sweden. My new home park, Gröna Lund in Stockholm?.... Yeah. lol Not so much.
I like your Wicked Cyclone pick. I don't know if I'd rank it so high, but I don't think it gets enough credit. Maybe it's just the nostalgia from riding Cyclone at Riverside as a kid though.
Ghostrider at night in the back is the GOAT. Great list
Great list! I have been on 31 of your top 50 and have quite a few others planned for 2020. Glad to see you corrected the mistake and put Maverick ahead of Valravn! Now if you could put Dragster ahead of it. :)
Glad to see Cannibal and Mako get some love very underrated coasters
A bit late but awesome list, Raging Bull’s first drop is very intriguing to me as I hear more and more people talk about it but it’s also great to hear that the twister layout is great.
Merry Christmas !🎄
Thanks for noticing Raging Bull! I also love that Coaster!
Twisted Cyclone and Goliath are the only reasons I have a season pass. Although superman is pretty damn fun too
I have a season pass too and unpopular opinion, but my favorite ride is Mindbender. I'm a sucker for classics.
Nitro is right behind Torro for me at Great Adventure. I actually had a few minutes after riding Torro where I had to consider which I preferred. But I’ve ridden Nitro twice and Torro only once. I need to ride it more before I decide where to place it. In my top 3 definitely. I can’t decide if I like Nitro more than Steel Force. I’ve ridden Steel Force more and got a killer ride in September. Front row completely dark except for the lights on the lift hill, way too much room, and the ride was hauling! But nitro is more intense. Top 3 is torro twisted timbers and I305 and not necessarily in that order. I305 is the only one of those not known for it’s ejector. But it’s so crazy and intense that it couldn’t not be ranked high for me. That ride taught me what whippy transitions were and is still the only ride I grayed out on.
Love the list. And what great timing, a gift. Thank you and Happy Holidays!
My Home Park is SFGAm. I've discovered there is a difference between best and favorite. While I recognize the superiority of Goliath and Raging Bull and consider them tied for best coaster at the park, Viper is actually my personal favorite. I'm a huge airtime fan, it always seems smooth to me, has a nice speed, and I love the visuals from so much of the track going through the supports for upper levels. Overall it is just a fun coaster that I love so much it outranks the best coasters at the park for me :)
I'd love to ride it w/ you if you make your way here in 2020
When I rode Viper for the first time, I was so impressed. It was way more intense that I had imagined it to be.
Audibly gasped when I saw Raging Bull.
So misunderstood, that ride.
It's the only b&m hyper I've ever ridden, cuz I have never been to any other park other than SFGAm
You gotta come to Australia and ride some coasters here. DC Rivals Hypercoaster by Mack rides is great.
Maybe 2021
Dude I love your channel, raging bull is also one of my favorite b&m hypers, you still have ur opinions even if their not popular unlike other coaster channels
What did you think of Copperhead Strike? I think it’s a pretty similar ride to Cheetah Hunt
Yeah those 2 are similar. Copperhead is barely top 100
Finally, someone that appreciates banshee. Op'd that ride for 4 years, was a hard job, but I loved the ride.
Cool that you included Steel Eel. Its always seemed faster than its listed and is overlooked
YES I love that you love sox flags great America. It’s my home park I go there all the time and I don’t think the rides get enough reapect
I remember waiting for this! Great list!
Merry Christmas!!!!🎁🎄
Merry christmas
Merry Chrysler
49. I really like Viper. Theme Park Crazy has a t-shirt that says "you can never go wrong with a B&M hyper" (and there's one right next to Viper, Raging Bull). When it comes to woodies, you can never go wrong with a Coney Island Cyclone layout.
Dont tell that to Psyclone at SFMM
Airtime Thrills not that great I take it?
Fun fact about SFGAM's Viper: it is the only coaster ever built in house by Six Flags
And our number one spot goes to Woodstock Express. Just an amazing airtime filled layout with a great first drop.
Interesting countdown for sure, especially when I compared it to mine. At the very least where does Tatsu fall? I love flying on the hilltop it's one of my favorite experiences! It seems we like the same rides yet completely different rides all at the same time.

X2 is # 1. I love it!!!
I go to six flags new england regularly since it is the closest major park to me, and i was so hoping to see wicked cyclone on here. I was almost disappointed reaching top 10 cuz i didnt think it would reach that high. Now im disappointed that theres only a few better coasters lmao. although i still havent ridden a hyper yet
Merry Christmas Mr. Thrills
Time traveler will probably get me so sick. Watching these coasters is making me dizzy but I love roller coasters! I would go on these anyways and then get sick!
100% agree with the raging bull pick, it’s my #2 hyper. But outlaw run isn’t rough 😂
Your credit count is huge, especially because I think I've heard you say before that you haven't done Europe or Japan yet. Congrats, man. Love the channel.
Impressed with the budget you get to travel as much as you get to. Maybe it's time to coordinate so that three parks in a week happen ( Re holiday, Kings, Kentucky on the same trip).
Another raging bull fan!!!
Raging Bull is underrated!!!!
Coasters with Casey Banshee sucks
Wisconsin Thrills what does banshee have to do with anything? He is right bull is amazing and banshee isn’t bad either
Ryan Thompson yeah raging bull is so much better than Goliath i can’t understand why everyone prefers goliath over bull
@@riolaaaey9875 Banshee is trash. I'm triggered that he put a poc over Viper, I305, Skyrush and actually good inverts. He has some of the weirdest opinions out there.
Great list! Wish I had such an elite top 50
What was the song in the top 50
I love how much work u out into a top 50 commentary
Viper almost ended pretty bad for me when I went during Fright Fest this year. First they had to do maintenance the train before I got on as well as my lap bar was extremely loose for my skinny ass legs so I’m fully out of my seat while going through the great airtime.
Love seeing Raging Bull in the top 10! I won’t be surprised if Voyage moves up on your list after Holiwood Nights.
Excellent list!!! Been waiting for this! ☺️I almost fell over seeing how high you ranked Raging Bull! lol SFGAm is my home park and I really enjoy this coaster, so it makes me sad when it gets as much hate as it usually does. Excited for you to ride Maxx Force soon!
My only tiny quibble is that you might have forgotten Riddler's Revenge. Also, My guts got airtime on X2, (and that's on the smaller dips later in the ride, since all 4 times I rode it I was in the back row).
Love that you included Coaster at Playland, (the best woodie I've ridden); Ghost Rider, Twisted Colossus, Millennium Force, and of course Steal Vengeance, which is probably also my favourite coaster. It's only flaw are that the restraints are so tight I gotta remember next time to tuck in sensitive parts of my body, and that's on the double up to the MCBR, which I rode in the back car (car six/row 11 and 12) 8 out of 10 times I rode it, the other two times car 4 and 5 respectively. I'm generally a back car enthusiast, but although I can appreciate the front: If the back car hurt me on that double up then I'm actually dreading riding that part of it in the front car whenever I get a chance to ride it again, when there isn't more than one train ops like when I was there in May 2018. Otherwise it's a flawless ride.
My top 4 bucket list coasters are Diamondback, El Toro, Jersey Devil and Fury 325. Thanks for yet another awesome video, and Merry Christmas, or whatever winter solstice appropriated holiday you celebrate.
Haha I enjoy Riddlers but its not close to cracking this list
@@AirtimeThrills Ok fair enough; I was only curious. BTW I also forgot to mention that of all 5 of the B&M inverts I've ridden so far, Raptor is my favourite. However: Katun looks to me to be the best.
American thunder always has a station wait and it’s one of the smoothest woodies I’ve been on
