The smartest thing S&S did was acquiring the Arrow properties. That opened up worlds for them and very smartly gave them continuous work providing parts for aging Arrow coasters and attractions. I would love my home park SFMM to get an AXIS. There are a few places in the park it could go. And your number 1 here is on my list as a Bucket List coaster as are the coasters in China.
Your so lucky you have magic mountain I’ve always wanted to go there your so lucky you have X2 and twisted collossus Even tho I have carowinds with fury 325 which will now probably be Goliath soon 💀
@@Thelightning1out We have a great total lineup of coasters here at Magic Mountain aside from the two you mentioned. Wonder Woman FOC, Viper, Tatsu, Apocalypse, Goliath, Full Throttle, West Coast Racers, Scream!, to name some more. I hope you get to the park someday to enjoy them.
@@BryanMark-mw8sz I would be happy with an AXIS pretty much anywhere in North America as long as the layout is longer than the one unveiled at IAAPA this week. lol
@@psychopompinc.646 Me too, we've been waiting so long it's ridiculous. Honestly, I hope this Six Flags Cedar Fair thing happens and they put an acis on each one of their lowest performing parks to draw in larger crowds. The Axis Coasters have the potential to elevate those parks to the next level.
Eejanaika is practically perfect and I laughed and screamed all the way through. On my last trip to the States in 2010 (I'm British and haven't managed to get back over there since) I did X2 and had mixed feelings, while my dad flat out didn't like it and said it made him feel ill for the rest of the day. Both of us, in stark contrast, adored Eejanaika and it was so much smoother and so much better.
I got lucky enough to experience Eejanaika this summer, and man did reviews not lie. It's an absolute intimidating, body ripping and positive g flippin' machine. The extra momentum from the pre-drop, flipping you right over that 90 degree drop is like nothing else.
I am honestly in SHOCK that nobody has built an S&S Axis coaster yet. To me, that's the most exciting coaster model that's actually ready to go that has yet to be built. I REALLY, REALLY wish Kings Island would build one in the old Vortex plot. That plot has always been a really good presentation plot, one of the best in the park, and it's always been home to ground breaking rides... First the Original Bat, then Vortex. I just think it would be the perfect ride for that plot as well as the perfect plot for that ride. I just think the Axis is a really exciting concept. I so wish I could go ride the prototype. You should see if they'd let you run a contest for a subscriber to come down and ride it lol. It really does surprise me though that some park hasn't jumped on this thing already... I can understand why Cedar Fair might be a little iffy about an S&S prototype after Hypersonic at Kings Dominion... but, I would have thought six flags would have jumped all over it.
Was shocked to find out they only have 40 or so coasters out there, considering the absolute variety of models. Models like Galeforce and the El Locos should be giving Gerstlauer a run for their money and be popping up clones in every park with a few million to spend, and yet no such luck.
My list goes like: 1. Tumbili It’s the only one I’ve done but it’s still worthy of the number one spot regardless, it had upside down airtime man oh my god I’ll never forget that moment, I counted 4 flips but it might have been more. I didn’t even want to ride it a second time cuz it would’ve been different, I almost put this thing over Twisted Timbers! That moment I got ejected into my restraint while facing the ground was the first time a roller coaster has scared me im years! That might have been a one in a million ride from what I’ve heard about freespins 😅
I have gotten that exact experience on Dragon Slayer at least 3 different times on my 20 rides. The first time it happened, I freaked out in the best possible way. I thought it may be the single greatest coaster moment of my life. You have to hit that raven turn in the perfect position for it to happen.
Don't be too confident in Eejanaika Taylor! I actually prefer Dinoconda to Eejanaika. Dinoconda has a longer train and I think it made quite a noticeable difference in how the first drop feels in the very back row. Eejanika does have that one additional tilting when you slam into the breaks though. But after all they are almost identical (Eejanaika definitely has the better view) and my opinion of them could very well be the result of how these two rides were running when I rode them.
I can confirm how crazy Dragon Slayer is. I typically will ride a free spin just for the credit, and maybe a 2nd ride if there's no line, but with Dragon Slayer, I just kept on riding. I also rode it more than anything else on my last visit. I did it 10x on both my days there this year. Steel Curtain is my current favorite, as I had a great experience with it, and Maxx Force was a nightmare for me just to get on. Dragon Slayer is actually my # 2. But Eejanaika would definitely become my # 1 if I ever get on it, with how much I love X2.
Sad you did not add the FreeFly model, Tranan in Skara Sommerland! It’s like really strange and bizarre and in the middle of nowhere in Sweden so obvious you did not ride it 😂 But add that park on your to-do list when re-visiting Sweden, you’ll get a good laugh!
So I am a bit confused. If Eejanaika FIXED all the issues with X2, why weren't any more built ? Is it prohibitively expensive, or do parks think it is just too intense for the average park goer & not worth the investment ? In fact I could say the same for other models on this list as well. It seems that they do build coasters, but they are pretty spread out and not a lot of them (save the 4d free spin.) I would agree that the Axis looks amazing, I am just worried it will suffer the same fate.
My favorite foaster from S&S is Maxx Force at Six Flags Great America. Two of my other favorites are Timberhawk at Wild Waves and Steel Hawg at Indiana Beach. I clearly haven't ridden much from them.
It's interesting that Taylor think Eejanaika was smoother than X². Theme Park Review HATED that ride, saying it was far rougher than X². I would definitely ride Eejanaika, and likely enjoy it.
Eejanaika is amazing but certain seats (especially the ones on the left side) can be very rough while other seats can be very smooth like you said. It really sucks waiting in line for 45min or more (those 5min dispatches lol) only to get a rough seat that really kills the enjoyment.
I know Dinoconda is the smaller of the two s&s 4d’s but do you think it’ll feel substantial different than edj cause I’m assuming once you ride that it’ll nicely slip into at least second place
I live in Japan so I have got to experience Eejanaika lots of times but never X2 so I hope to be able to make the trip to Six Flage Magic Mountain soon and see which of the 2 is better.
What's interesting is that Maxx Force cheats by barely getting you passed 135 degrees 3 times, and barely pulling you out of the inversion a couple times to try and pad the inversion count, and rcdb doesn't cry foul on those. But when Steel Curtain kind of does it, rcdb cries foul and robs them of an inversion. If Maxx Force has 5, then not only does Steel Curtain have 9, but Storm Chaser has 3 (overbank over 135 degrees), and Iron Gwazi has 3 (overbank over 135 degrees). If rcdb was just as harsh on Maxx Force, it would only have 2 inversions.
Hello in a coaster lover but as I got older I got more claustrophobic!! Do you have a list of the most open an comfortable coasters ? I had an anxiety attack on the Ninja at six flags lol!!
I feel like I’d hate Eejanaika. I absolutely despised X2 because of how rough it was and uncomfortable the rotations were, and even if the flips are smoother on Eejanaika, the larger amount of rotations gives me a bad feeling I’ll hate it even more. Especially since I can’t tolerate the rotations on S&S free spins
Eejanaika is brilliant but it’s just as rough as X2 on the outside seats. Calling it smooth is ridiculous. X2 and this are both amazing rides though and I’m sure Dinoconda is too. I probably will never go to China because it’s not the safest place to be for a transplant patient but I’m positive it’s as good as the other two.
@@CoasterStudios Sick! It always shocks me just how powerful that launch feels. I can only imagine her reaction to it. I’m getting back there this coming weekend and I can’t wait!
I wish the axis coaster would be made here but it unfortunately parks here in the state won't work with them dou to unreliability which has scary some of the us parks away for better attentions which to me that really sad but it business

Bruh we all know ejenaika or whatever the heck u spell it is gonna be #1 😂
Yeah, I think that the top two were pretty obvious.
Plot twist it’s Joker at SFGAD
Falken's drop in the back with room (which is really easy to get) is actual insanity.
I see what's happening. First RMC, then Arrow, now S&S, all building up to Coaster Studios' long awaited top 25.
Still a few more manufacturers to go!
seriously such a great company, they have one of the most solid portfolios with some absolute gems in there
I think most of us can agree that coaster studios is the best theme park/roller coaster content creator in youtube

When are you going back to Japan, bro? Would love to see Sarah experience all the Japanese parks
I got lucky enough to experience Eejanaika this summer, and man did reviews not lie. It's an absolute intimidating, body ripping and positive g flippin' machine. The extra momentum from the pre-drop, flipping you right over that 90 degree drop is like nothing else.
I thought Steel curtain was advertised to have 9 inversions? Did S&S not go through with that?
Can we all appreciate the callback to the “shot out of a gun” line from the Do-Dodompa parody😁

Hmm, who knows? Either that or an RMC may just be…….
*On the horizon ;)*
SFOG should be the park to get an Axis coaster
Apparently from what I saw yesterday, that new park in Saudi Arabia who's getting Falcon's Flight, is getting the first Axis. @@Cat3465

I went to Kennywood for the first time this summer only for Steel Curtain to be SBNO.😢
Maxx Force!! Love. That. Launch!!!

Haven't ridden an El Loco but out of the rest I would go Eejanaika, Gale Force, Steel Curtain as top 3.
This so great, S&S is absolutely one of the best manufacturers for modern roller coasters.

Got to ride Tranan at Skara Sommarland, the original Axis coaster, and that was great fun!

FYI, you left out Dinoconda and yes, it’s the best of the 4D coasters 😎
Can't wait to get on it one day!
I saw that an Axis coaster will open in an indoor park in construction located in Saudi Arabia
I live in Japan so I have got to experience Eejanaika lots of times but never X2 so I hope to be able to make the trip to Six Flage Magic Mountain soon and see which of the 2 is better.
Honored to have operated 2 coasters on this list😂
Worst thing is steel curtain could be gone very soon 😢
You actually think more parks would want to build more coasters like steel curtain from s&s?
Steel Curtain has 9 inversions, not 8, but I agree with this whole video.
I haven't finished the video yet, but I did get on Hypersonic way back in 2004. It was punchy! Did you get to?
Unfortunately I did not! I really wish I could've.
El Loco has such a better drop then the other model’s because it’s the only one not trimmed at the beginning
I’ve been trying to get on steel curtain for years and every time I go it’s closed
wonder whats y'alls thoughts on Lochness Monster at BGW getting retracked
I'd assume you don't count banana rolls as 2 inversions because you said Steel Curtain only has 8 inversions instead of 9.
What's interesting is that Maxx Force cheats by barely getting you passed 135 degrees 3 times, and barely pulling you out of the inversion a couple times to try and pad the inversion count, and rcdb doesn't cry foul on those. But when Steel Curtain kind of does it, rcdb cries foul and robs them of an inversion.

I wonder what will happen to Do Dododanpa it will be sad if it goes away
Well, what you said is sad but it is actually true.
How much does it cost to make a Ejanaika coaster? It has to be stupid expensive that’s why there are so little of them in the world.
Why do you think we haven’t seen an Axis coaster go into a park yet?
If you had to put the axis prototype in your video where would it land?
Honestly probably in the top 5 haha, I just love the Axis concept and can't wait to see one in a park!
