I rode Velocicoaster a few weeks ago, and it was the most intense and insane coaster I've ever been on. The powered launch section that sends you over the hill, literally made me feel like I was gonna come out of my seat. I loved every minute of it! I'm surprised you didn't have this at number 2 at least. I highly recommend riding this to everyone.
I have it at #3 behind Fury 325 and Steel Vengeance. It's the best themed coaster I've ever ridden. If you can catch a night ride on it, it's ever better. I agree with you that this coaster is top notch and should be considered by all coaster enthusiast. That launch mid way through the ride is glorious.
I rode it 8 times in a row cause it was so fun because I went to universal on Christmas eve
I love this rollercoaster so much idk if it was a good choice but it was the first rollercoaster I went on that had in inversion. Also I know nobody asked.
I live right next to Kings Island in Ohio essentially so I've ridden some great coasters, and I've been to Cedar Point a fair amount of times, and without a doubt when I rode Velocicoaster for the first time i honestly didn't think much of it, I was like ok, its kind of tall, goes pretty quick, but Orion is way taller and goes quicker, but when I got off Velocicoaster I was shook and it easily became my favorite coaster I had ever ridden, and now every time I go to Universal I ride the ride back to back numerous times because its just that great, ill never get over the midway speed up that happens in the tunnel, and i always have my hands up the entire time because that's just the best way to do it, and yes, like someone said, riding at night is amazing and a whole new experience, 10/10 perfect ride, you have to experience it
Just rode it Saturday...best ride I've ever been on
It really shows how much effort you put into saying things you haven't previously said about your favorite rides without rambling. Your lists are just highly concentrated love.
i just went on velocicoaster for the first time a few days ago and im honestly not the biggest fan of coasters usually but this one had me smiling and laughing nearly the entire ride. it’s honestly really nice to have a ride that’s focused on being enjoyable and not just the biggest/steepest drop possible. it also just looks beautiful, especially at night with the blue lights.
I rode the velocicoaster A couple days ago also and smoothest roller coaster I have ever been on
Same
Caught some night rides on it. Two thumbs up. I think it's the best themed coaster I've ever ridden.
I just love Ryan’s continued love and support to Superman El Último Escape.

Thanks 👍👍
I’m sad there is nothing from kings island
@@stg_gaming99Same
@@stg_gaming99 I agree sorta. The Beast at night after the fireworks shutdown in the front row is one of the best coaster experiences I've ever had, truly magical.
Why isn’t Oscars Wacky Taxi number one
Fr bro. That should be number 1

SPOILERS
Daddy Pig’s Roller Coaster should be #1
because
I've always wanted to find a succinct way to explain the reason I love Millennium Force so much. The way you called it "like an art piece" is exactly what I was looking for. Hell yeah
Excellent stuff as usual, Ryan!
Sadly not a top 100 coaster in my book
SO THATS WHY IT FELT FASTER LOLL
My hot take on the top 3 coasters:
1. Millenium Force.
2. See above.
3. See above.
That is all.
To me, Millenium Force was built for the entire family to enjoy the art and splender together. It's an engineering marvel meant to be an icon like the Brooklyn Bridge or the Pyramids.
It's got enough umphhhh to allow a rider to feel what a roller coaster should be about without alienating a population. Let's face it, Milly is an icon, always will be.
*except those not tall enough to ride with adults or those with heart and injury conditions
I’ve noticed a theme for woodies that people love: camel backs + twister = perfect.
The voyage
That transition into the Ad spot was top notch. Genuinely gave me a good laugh. Will update this comment with my thoughts on the list after I've fully watched it.
After watching, I've ridden 6 of these coasters: Magnum, Maverick, Millie, Lightning Rod, Fury, and The Voyage. I've gotten quite a few rides on Mean Streak but haven't been back to Cedar Point to ride Steel Vengeance, which makes Lightning Rod the only RMC I've ridden. I really like this list. I've only been a true enthusiast since 2020, and have only been to Dollywood since that point. But I've been riding coasters since 2012, with my first trip being to Beech Bend Park in Kentucky. I've always loved coasters, and my bucket list of rides is probably longer than the layout of the Beast. Awesome video Ryan! Absolutely love your content!
If I had to do a top 5, it'd go as follows:
1. Lightning Rod; The most intense and absolutely mental experience I've *EVER* had on *ANY* rollercoaster.
2. Fury 325; So fast, smooth and forceful. A truly unrelenting experience all the way through. Came off every ride absolutely speechless.
3. Millennium Force; super forceful throughout the entire layout imo, and it just never fails to steal the air from my lungs.
4. Goliath (SFoG); the first B&M I've ever ridden, and it's got such an intense and unique layout that has never failed to make me grey out.
5. Thunderhead; The most insane wooden coaster I've gotten to ride. It's insanely smooth since the retrack, and it *FLIES* through its insane layout with nonstop action front to back.
Voyage would probably be in that #5 spot, but I haven't gotten to ride it in nearly 9 years now, so the experience is practically gone from my mind. I desperately need a re-ride on it.
I love how different your list is from everyone else! While I don’t agree with a few placements of course, it’s so refreshing to not just see steel vengeance at number one, even though it’s my number one
Fun fact about Maverick this summer: I was a ride op on Iron Dragon and in Mid-July Maverick had an extended period of down time so a guy from Intamin could come look at the second launch. All of us, even it’s ops, swear that the fixed launch made that second launch snappier and faster, and that’s when the ride blew up my list. It currently sits at #9. I would like to thank that Intamin guy for absolutely fixing the ride.
I went to cedar point 3 times this year. i love maverick!
You guys had a fantastic and amazing crew on Iron Dragon this past season.
@@MTigers006 Yeah we did I made a lot of friends and went from forgetting the ride was there to being in love with it and all of its quirks. We were the first crew in about 7 years to hit 1 million on Dragon!
@@CaIebGG That is so awesome! Congratulations on that achievement.
when specifically was it if you know, I went in mid July and I wonder if I experienced it
I live in Michigan and it was a wonderful surprise to see Shivering Timbers on here. I feel like a lot of people don't know that ride even exists, let alone how damn good it is. We also frequent Cedar Point and that has to be the best overall coaster experience park in the nation, imo. Seeing you have VelociCoaster in your top 3 also made me very happy, because that and Steel Vengeance have been my nearly tied 1-2 for years. So so good. Well done.
Exactly how I feel about steel phantom lol, I forget the east coast is stacked with great rides I live in western PA and frequent Kennywood all the time
Also from Michigan, I was shocked to see Shivering Timbers on here. I loved it as a kid, haven’t been to MA in a long time though, as I’ve only been going to Cedar Point lately
I rode shivering timbers and I hated it. I rode in the back row and it was unbearably rough. Should I have ridden it in the front row instead?
@@nickcube4 I mean, it's hard to find an old wooden coaster nowadays that isn't rough. That's one of the...charms of them I guess you could say. The front wasn't terrible, but it's always gonna be rather rough. They certainly aren't for everyone.
I live in Michigan too and Shivering Timbers is my favorite ride at my home park! Though my last rides on in in late August-early September 2022 have been pretty rough. (Most notably in the valleys of its first few hills) I could definitely see GCI adding some more Titan Track work to Timbers. :)
Top 5 coasters I've ridden:
1. Coaster at Playland (Vancouver)
2. Corkscrew at Playland (Vancouver)
3. Mindbender at West Edmonton Mall
2. That's it
1. I haven't ridden any other coasters
0. So it's really fun riding vicariously through your videos Ryan! 🎢🍍
I hope you get a chance to try more coasters on the list. If you can handle Mindbender, you can do the ones on this list!
I ride Iron Gwazi once a week, just hit my 30th ride yesterday! The ride still runs very smoothly! The loading time is it’s biggest struggle. Most of the operators there are great, & the prolonged loading time has a lot to do with larger guests needing extra assistance for the seats the click. The original Gwazi was my first ever coaster and I defended it even when ppl said it was too rough; and I’m so happy that RMC converted it so well! Oh also, next time you go ride it at night!!!
How can you ride it at night when they close at 5pm on the weekdays? I don’t want to go on a crowded weekend just for a night ride.
As someone who's only visited the Florida Disney and Universal parks in the US, it was cool to see Velocicoaster so high in your ranking. I absolutely loved that ride, and it easily stole my own top spot from Nemesis.
The retrack of The Beast has elevated that right into my top 3. Night ride on it now is the craziest experiences I’ve ever had next to night ride voyage.
Ironically Kings Islands rollercoasters are invisible to this list. He posts a lot of things outside the United States to which a lot of us don't have the time or the resources to do. I take this list with a grain of salt. I still have a lot of parks here in the US to visit.
I agree, I got a night ride front row in the rain on The Beast, and I liked it even more than Voyages trimless night ride. Its my #1 right now for sure
I was very surprised that kings island didn’t have any rides on this list between Beast, Mystic Timbers and Orion. They all could easily be top 25 rides in my opinion
I agree that a night ride on the Beast is a completely different experience. Two thumbs up.
This is random but the coaster at the beginning (0:20) is painted such a gorgeous color. You don't really ever see rollercoasters painted in such a muted/beige/sand color like that. It looks so good
Six Flags Fiesta Texas has really improved their coaster roster in recent years. The Wonder Woman and Dr. Diabolicals Cliffhanger are great.
Outlaw Run is still an incredible night ride. The only light once you crest the lift comes from this barn behind the wave turn, but it doesn't illuminate that part too much.
I was a bit surprised to see Outlaw Run so high, but I respect that a lot. Great video Ryan!
In my personal opinion, Velocicoaster Is my favorite coaster of ALL TIME. The very fast movement on the second launch, the drop, and the mosasaurus roll just makes this ride absolute perfection. At first I was nervous on riding this, but now I feel like I could ride it every second I’m at universal. I even got the shirt which I have not regretted buying. If I had to rate this out of 10, It would break my scale. As one of this biggest Jurassic Park and World fans, I approve of this ride.
Man, that Zamperla stratacoaster joke hits different now.
While Eijanaika is clearly superior to X2, I have to say that I prefer the first 2 elements on X2 - the first drop and the raven turn. If you sit in the first row on X2, the sensation of falling and being parallel to the ground is more pronounced on X2, because the trains are longer and the first car spends more time "hanging" at the top and takes the drop more slowly. No matter where you sit on Eijanaika, the shorter trains barrel down the first drop before you can really register what's going on. I also prefer the first raven turn on X2 because it doesn't have a backflip at the top. This really enhances the sense of flying, and gives you time to take in your surroundings and really get a perception of height and speed. I love these first 2 elements so much that I would even say that I would prefer X2 over Eijanaika if they could somehow resolve the roughness issue on the final raven turn.
And fixing the fire and speakers lol
either way iteijanika being number one just means x2 is number 1 in my book
Interesting, very interesting!!! Eejanaika is way better than X2 in my opinion but I find your take a very valid critique. I live in California and I lived in Tokyo for many years so I've ridin' both rides toooooo many times to count but they are both so damn good. Its like comparing pizza to pizza lol
i'm so happy to see goliath at SFGA on here!!! i think it deserves so much more appreciation than it gets. it delivers a relentless experience in such a condensed area for an RMC

I remember when the top coasters list used to be a running gag. The joke that never paid off. But man Ryan giving us so much top lists in the about 2 years
what
@@handledav Ryan used to do this joke in older coaster idiot and the now and again review videos where he'd say he's gonna do a top 10 or top 20 coasters video and then never do it. Sometimes he'd even be self aware about said joke. But he's done several top coaster videos since 2020 so the joke has finally paid off.
as a michigander, its awesome to see how you appreciate shivering timbers. its such an under the radar gem.(coaster studios needs to get over it and come back to try it)
Eejanaika deserves the no.1, its flawless! I went on it a couple years ago and it was a highlight of the trip. Hakugei is also incredible, I actually prefer it over Outlaw Run. Great list!
Nice spoiler.
Nice rollercoaster
@@chuck4714 why do you scroll into the comments of videos ranking rides if you dont wanna see people discuss the rankings?
The SteVe crew was killing it this season. About half of the days they were rolling trains. There was a few times that the trains were racing on the course
They also didn't staple me like the 2019 crew did. The itty bitty amount of room to move lets you actually feel the air time. And Steel Vengeance is not fun without the air time.
@@X24453 Quite painful actually when I get stapled actually
i absolutely LOVE how much you love outlaw run. It goes so unappreciated I guess because it’s short and a little rough, but it’s my #1 but a mile and i’m absolutely obsessed with it
I rode velocicoaster six times yesterday. I still can't get over how insane that ride is. The theming is incredible, from the visually striking entrance to the views of the track from the outside queue, to the raptor animatronics, and the video before you get on. That level of theming is something you rarely see outside of Disney.
Secondly, the locker system is brilliant. It's a necessity to make sure personal belongings are secured during the ride because much of the track is located above guest areas. That makes it very interactive, and you can see people pointing at you while you lose your mind. The locker system makes this possible and it's very efficient and intuitive.
The ride cars are very open and comfortable. The fact that you only have a lap bar is ridiculous, given how much air time you get. It makes it so it feels like the coaster is actively trying to eject you. The backs of my legs are currently bruised from clamping on to the seat for dear life during the Mosasaurus roll.
The force of the initial launch is just bananas and sends you into a spaghetti bowl of twists, turns and inversions, narrowly dodging landscape features and barreling through rock tunnels.
The second launch is somehow even more forceful and as you climb the top hat it feels like you won't stop until you're in orbit. Rather than reaching the edge of the stratosphere, the train yanks you back to earth, threatening to send you flying out of your car where you drive head first into a crowd, and then dangled above it.
After your entry into a clockwise helix, the track fakes left, then continues right, ejecting you from your seat yet again, and you descend over the water towards the Mosasaurus roll.
I want to take a second to address that roll, as it is possible the wildest sensation I've experienced on a coaster. Imagine riding on an angry dinosaur's back, and all it wants is to fling you off. That's what it feels like, as if the coaster just wants you gone. It's trying to flick you into the lake. It always evokes a different, more terrified tone of scream from the riders.
Before you hit the final brake run, the track tries one more time to snap you out of your car. Every foot of track on that ride is a riot.
After I got home, I told my wife I'd ridden velocicoaster 8 times in two days. She asked me if i was getting bored of it.
No. Not at all.
What a beautifully written description of this ride!
Best explanation of veliocoaster
The strongest coaster I need to re ride is shivering Timbers. I rode it in like 2009 or something I don’t even remember but I know I was intimidated by it. I liked coasters at the time but didn’t always like the rough wood ones, but I remember absolutely loving the endless airtime on it. It’s definitely my strongest credit I barely remember, and I’m from Chicago so it’s not even that far. Need to get there next year 100%.
I really hate when UA-camrs add in their sponsor but the way you do it is legit and don’t fast forward. You da goat mang!
Ghostrider relentlessly slams you around the track. I've never been on any other woody that doesn't let up for a moment like this one.
As for Velocicoaster... LOVE IT! Best coaster in Florida.
You really got me with the unannounced Wild Mouse ride as your #1 😭. I was like "There is NO WAY!"
This year I had the pleasure of riding GhostRider, Skyrush, Phoenix and Phantom's Revenge for the first time, all of which are now my favorite coasters (along with Lightning Rod)
You made it to Kennywood! Congrats! Sorry the park's been closing so early, it's not my favorite. Also that they seem to be not adorning all the rides with lights anymore. Very lame. But I hope you had a good time! And that Steel Curtain was actually open.
Seeing my home park Busch Gardens on this list and having just rode Iron Gwazi for the first time the other day, I knew right away it HAD to be Iron Gwazi. THAT THING IS TRULY INSANE! The only negative from my experience was not being able to ride it more than once as the line was nearly 3 hours long by the time we got back to the ride. Needless to say, I will be going back ASAP to experience the masterpiece that is Iron Gwazi again and again!
I was at Silver Dollar City last October and we got a night ride on Outlaw Run. As soon as you get off the lift hill, you drop into a black hole. You simply don't see anything. You only get tossed around until you turn back into the final brakes. It is still awesome! Maybe right now with the Christmas lights, there may be more, but that would likely just be temporary.
As someone just getting started in the enthusiast world, I was super excited to experience Velocicoaster and Iron Gwazi both for the first time this year! They're both absolutely amazing rides and I'm very glad to see them represented on this list. Looking forward to see what other amazing rides get introduced in the 2023 season (Pipeline at SWO, I'm looking at you!)
Happy to see Shivering Timbers sneak into the top ten!
My personal number 1 is either VelociCoaster or Iron Gwazi, but this is a FANTASTIC list!
Fujiyama is so sick dude, It’s the number 1 roller voaster I’ve EVER ridden.
You couldn’t squeeze Time Traveler in there somewhere? It’s such a unique ride and my favorite at SDC. But I love that you had Outlaw Run on there. That thing is a beast at night 😮
Ryan have you been on The Smiler at Alton Towers in the UK. It's wild with such a small height and deserves to be on this list.
came here to say this ! im not sure if ryan has been to any UK parks but the smiler definitely deserves to be in everyone's top 25
Nah, The Smiler is shite.
yeah for me, as a native Brit, it's all about Alton Towers, Blackpool Pleasure Beach and Thorpe Park... never been to Flamingo Land, though! My number one coaster would have to be the Dragon Khan at Port Aventura in Spain though (incidentally like the Smiler it was also designed by John Wardley..). I have not actually been to any theme park in more than 10 years, however!
I rode shivering timbers for the 1st time this year glad to see it get some love, It might be one of the best looking coasters when you 1st pull into a park
I can say living 45 minutes away from Iron Gwazi that it is even better than it’s first few days for membership preview. I think it also has the best drop I’ve ever been on. My top 5 out of 403 or so are 1.) Vengeance 2.) Iron Gwazi 3.) Velocicoaster 4.) Fury 5.) Lightning Rod. Cheers!
Wow! I have the same exact 5 but in a slightly different order. That's pretty trippy. Your list gets an A plus. I have:
1) Steel Vengeance
2) Fury 325
3) Velocicoaster
4) Iron Gwazi
5) Lightning Rod
I'm a huge fan of RMC coasters and love Twisted Timbers as well.
Iron gwazi has absolutely broken in wonderfully to your point. It’s phenomenal! Hopefully I can get on more coasters on this list soon
Yeah, I rode it week before Thanksgiving week. Awesome ride. And amazingly short lines too. Was able to ride it 3 times in quick succession with almost no wait.
Finally, someone giving Shivering Timbers the credit it deserves!!
That was the best transition to a sponsorship message I've ever seen. Good work.
I understand this list is fully subjective but I have ZERO idea how The Incredible Hulk Coaster at Islands of Adventure Orlando did not make the cut. Was nice to see Mr. Freeze make the cut though. Car 1 seat 1 at night was a complete different experience at night.
I'd be interested to see what you think of some of the great British roller coasters! The Smiler has 14 inversions, Saw: The Ride is really well themed and has some terrifying bits IN the station before you even get to extremely disorienting and scary vertical lift hill, Nemesis Inferno and Swarm are both super smooth and dangle you over Thorpe Park, and since you seem to like wooden coasters, I think you'd love Wicker Man as well.
this video is basically "the best american roller coaster"...I mean in Italia we got Oblivion and Raptor that are pretty good too. I'm not saying it is worthing to be linked here but they are basically whole americans with some guests.
Saw is great! I’m not into horror at all, but the ride is amazing, the first drop is so intense. Couldn’t stop going again and again throughout the day.
Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast is so underrated that even I think you ranked it too high. The Over Texas one that is, St. Louis one isn’t really underrated.
I am very happy I got my list out before you lol. In all seriousness, this was a great watch.
steel phantom was soooooooooooo rough and as a kid/teenager my head was the perfect height to headbang the whole time on the trash restraints, I'm amazed how much better it is now
You needed a helmet to ride the Steel Phantom.
Genuinely curious: Do you really remember the rides so well that you can summarize them for a video like this, or do you keep notes and/or go back to past videos for a refresher?
I couldn't possibly describe a ride's elements after just having ridden it, let alone years later. That could just be because I've never gone in with the intention of noticing, though. Anyway, I previously commented with the only 3 coasters I've ridden (total, in my life) so it's a testament to the memorability of your videos that I recognized most of these from watching your channel. Also, congrats on the sponsorships! This one was the best integration I've seen for a VPN. 😁🍍
I am only at 90 credits but my top 10 is as follows:
1. Steel Vengeance - Airtime is my favorite aspect of a roller coaster, and nothing beats steel vengeance in this aspect. It's so well-rounded in its airtime.
2. Twisted Timbers - TT is the strongest roller coaster when it comes to non-stop ejector airtime. I've never flown out of my seat so hard as I did on this coaster this past July.
3. Velocicoaster - the most well-rounded coaster I've ridden. Such a fun ride overall that has everything you want in a coaster. While I may prefer SV and TT, if I was forced to only ride one coaster for the rest of my life, this would likely be my choice
4. Iron Gwazi - I rode it 6 times this summer and while I liked it, I thought it was greatly overrated. It's very intense for sure, but it is rather short and the airtime, while solid, is not up to par with other RMC coasters. The wave-turn is the highlight for me, and honestly, I was underwhelmed with the death roll.
5. Intimidator 305 - I ended up liking this coaster far more than I anticipated because I always prefer airtime to intensity, but when a coaster is as intense as I305, you don't need that much airtime. It has its moments of airtime for sure, but the face-ripping intensity is unmatched. I rode it 14 times in one day on a sunny day in July reaching 95+ degrees. It's a short ride for sure, but I feel like it does not need to be any longer because of its intensity. Honestly, the only thing that disappointed me was the first drop, but it was still solid.
6. El Toro - I rode it for the first time this year and it has some of my favorite moments of any roller coaster. However, it's not as solid throughout the entire ride. The first drop, camelbacks, and rolling thunder hill are some of my favorite elements of any ride, but the rest of the ride, especially the middle section, is not as good as it could be. That combined with roughness is why this isn't higher on my list.
7. Maverick - I consider this one of the few perfect rides out there. It's very well-rounded, like velocicoaster, and is just pure fun.
8. Phantom's Revenge - I was absolutely shocked by how intense the airtime is on this ride. I went in with high expectations and they were blown away. It is butter smooth, and the minimal restraints make this such a unique experience
9. Pantheon - I thoroughly enjoyed this new Intamin masterpiece, even though it is often overshadowed my velocicoaster which it is always compared to. I love the launches, especially the backwards launch, and it is one of the smoothest intamins I have ridden. The restrains are also phenomenal
10. Millennium Force - This has my favorite first drop on any roller coaster I have ridden. If I just want to experience pure speed, this is my ride of choice. I wish the airtime was a bit stronger, but it's still solid. Definitely such a fun ride and the easiest to marathon at CP.
I had a feeling Iron Gwazi would be on here. :) Rode it for the first time last weekend and I just bought an annual pass and going again this weekend too (and every chance I get) to just ride it all day long. It's THAT good. It's 5 hour drive round-trip but totally worth it.
Ryan as a Michigander, Shivering Timbers is highly underrated! Thank you for showing it some love!
I strongly disagree with quite a lot of these choices, but I always enjoy your top coasters lists.
Finally someone thinking Goliath RMC is top 25 worthy and not ranked a bottom tier RMC! Loved Seeing Gold Striker and Ghostrider on the list too. I'm looking forward to the CoasterBot Vote Coasters results dropping soon.
@@Marty_NZ I enjoyed Goliath but I’m afraid I’d also rank it toward the bottom of the RMCs.
@@StamfordBridge yeah most people would... and you're all wrong lol. But yes, these things are so subjective anyway. What's a few you strongly disagree on out of interest? I'd probably have tried to find a spot for Iron Rattler and Pantheon knowing he's done those.
@@Marty_NZ Well, I like Magnum, Maverick, Mr. Freeze, and Outlaw Run, but nowhere near as much as he does. Shivering Timbers had wonderful airtime in the front row, but it was also comically rough the year I rode it. But my biggest disagreement by far is Superman El Ultimo Escape, the biggest positive of which for me was just the great view.
@@StamfordBridge yeah i think he and Carrick are the only people thinking Superman is elite, however I can't comment since i've not done any in your list! I need to up my game.
From someone who's ridden magnum a shit ton of times, the best seat that gives you the best ride on Magnum is the 2nd to last row. You get a buttload of airtime, and a smoother ride. I worked at CP in 2006 and 2007. Magnum was my favorite ride in the park until Steel Vengeance. The first time I road Steel Vengeance I said to my wife and best friend I met working at CP "This makes Magnum Obsolete"
No love for Time Traveler but ur love for Velocicoaster makes up for it🔥
"Maverick proves it's not about size but how you use it..." LMAO THANK YOU FOR THAT ONE
Yes!!! Michign repping #10, but we also claim Cedar Point as our own because, whelp, cause Michigan Michigan's.
The “you got mail” took me back like a Time Machine 😂😂😂
Velocicoaster number 3 makes my heart flutter
sponsor transition was 900 iq
I like that #10 has segments where it goes up a bit, then levels off, then goes up some more. I don't remember riding a coaster like that before.
Great list! I can atest Magnum's magic seat is unreal, it moved into my top 50 this year
Can you do a Problematic Roller Coasters on Gemini at Cedar Point? I think that one might be a fun one since it's a racer.
My favorite coasters are Taron, F.L.Y. and Black Mamba in phantasialand, Kondaa in walibi belgium, Star Trek in movie park, dwervelwind in Toverland and Ride to Happiness but i havent been on it yet. For me themeing and music does more than big elements. Ride to happiness is apparently world class, even tho its in such a niche belgian family park.
Hot take europa park is overrated
I’m surprised you haven’t done a problematic series on mavericks heart line roll especially since it was recently found in a field
I live 45 minutes away from Busch gardens Tampa and took my daughter on iron gwazi two weeks ago she’s 12 she has ridden many huge roller coasters with me. Together we have ridden about 375 coasters and that coaster was the first to make her pass out multiple times during the ride. RMC did an amazing job with it and saved gwazi because before the revamp with RMC that ride was a nightmare
it’s 2am, i have to wake up early, and i’m here watching top 25 rollercoasters, life’s good.
I have been obsessed with your videos recently. You do really good work and research. And I dig your delivery
Currently my number 1 is I305. Such an insane speed machine.
"Zamperla Strata coaster" Ryan is the Oracle
I KNOW RIGHT, I was just about to comment about this!
I honestly think the Thunderbird at holiday world is super underrated
I grew up in northern Ohio, and I rode the Beast at age 7. I've been warped ever since. Yet, Millennium Force is the best ride there is. It isn't because of "ejector air" or whatever our host says, it is getting the shit scared out of you on the opening lift. It is a better ride than the temporarily closed Top Thrill Dragster.
I feel like you should compare each pick to last years to really give us some perspective on why things have changed since last year, or what you replaced said spot with and why.
Minor nitpick, Fujiyama doesn't mean "King of Roller Coasters" in Japanese. It's literally just "Fuji Mountain" (and for reference, Fuji means "Warrior of Wealth or Abundance"). The coaster uses the same Kanji as Mt. Fuji (富士山 Fuji-san), just using the kun-yomi form of "Mountain". The name is in part reference to how foreigners improperly read the Kanji of 富士山.
That said, Fuji-Q is a huge bucket list park for me for Fujiyama and Eejanaika.
This is certainly one of the top roller coaster lists of all time
Man the transition into the ad was actually pretty funny lol
Honestly, my favorite coaster is Lightning Rod in Dollywood.. though Wild Eagle isn't far behind.
As long as Velocicoasters on the list I'll be happy
That was one of the best sponsor segments I’ve ever seen
Seriously, that second half of Velocicoaster is just frantic. Great list!
Just so you know El Toro Ryan... One of my bucket list things as a coaster enthusiast myself is to ride El Toro with you and Nadine, my apologies if I didn't spell her name right.
Velocicoster is something else. Best coaster I’ve ever ridden.
I have horrible eyesight and wear glasses as a result. When we visited Cedar Point just before my senior year of high school, I rode Maverick and had to leave my glasses behind. Riding that thing without being able to see was possibly the most intense, intimidating experience I've had on a coaster.
Honestly, Mean Streak is #1 best coaster ever!!
17:42 let’s go so glad my home park made the top ten curious as to where time traveler would be
Superman la Atracción de Acero at Warner Madrid - Spain is such a good ride, loved the first drop! Very underestimated and oldschool ride!
HOLY SHIT WE MADE THE TOP 10. MICHIGAN'S ADVENTURE FOR THE WIN!!!
The second tunnel launch on the maverick at cedar point is so amazing
Shivering Timbers over Fury 325? Watch out for enthusiasts coming to your house with torches and pitchforks. Good list sir.
24:57 I had the same expirience with x2. Last time I got scared on a roller coaster was maybe when I was 10 on the Matterhorn bobsleds at Disneyland lol
I agree with your #1. Actually Fuji-Q highlands is my favorite Amusement park on the planet although its very small the rides are just amazing!!!
