AFO is also the rollercoaster 🎢 I got the most rides in one day. Though I got more than 17…my record is 142 and I’m 57 years old so no excuse to you youngsters who complain about the quad down lol 😝 Actually rode it over 500 times in about 7 days. Love this ride so much also got a tattoo of the AFO logo. From your vid Im gleaning you didn’t ride it at night. It’s a whole nother animal at night, soo much crazier. it’s not until about 2:30 that the ride starts to kick into high gear, and just gets faster with each ride. For end of the day rides I found AFO to be considerably more aggressive and out of control than night rides on both IG and SV. Haven’t ridden WCR yet so looking forward to see how it stacks up.
It was great to meet you and Christopher at the park! Thanks for including us in the vid and hope to see you again soon! ARIEFORCE ONE -guy in the blue shirt
Damn Chris, 17 rides is insane. My head was spinning after 10 rides on raging bull at SFGA. Amazing video as usual, put a smile on my face. Keep it real dawg.
Congratulations on your 17 rides on arieforce one. A new record. My current record of most rides on a rollercoaster is 8 rides on Wonder Woman Flight Of Courage at Six Flags Magic Mountain. I hope that I eventually break this record soon and probably hit 10 or more. Anyways keep up the good work and have a great day
The thigh-problem is similar on Untamed on a warm day. That thing is painful after just a few rides, and 6 rides in one day gave my thighs bruises for 5 days. I love it so much
I got 19 rides on it when I went, and I will say the massage gun was my friend to get the feeling back in my thighs. Great ride! It is my #5 overall. The pacing is wonderful and pretty much every element pops on it!
@@AirtimeThrills 🤣🤣👏👏Outstanding. Yeah I can understand why their ops come off as pretty crabby. What I can't understand is why on Memorial Day, the ops on Millennium Force were absolute trash. In the closing hour of the day, we only saw three trains dispatch in the span of 15 minutes. Only coaster that day where the ops were slow.
@@pauldoyle8986 Oh very much so!! I was at Kings Island the day before Cedar Point and I will agree. And I did make sure to highlight that in my review of KI which I posted yesterday. I recommend checking it out as well as my shots of the park from my friend's airplane at 3000 feet.
@@AirtimeThrills I went to Cedar Point for the first time the year SV opened. The second day I was there it was a walk on because of the weather. My friend and I marathoned it 5 times right before the park closed early that day.
As a Floridian Coaster Enthusiast I love this Coaster that I ridden. This is my first non-Florida roller coaster that I finally get on able to the park! I give a 9.5/10, I would recommend go to Fun Spot Atlanta on Georgia one day!😊 (My edited) Well Mr Thrills, I just broke a record riding ArieForce One 21 times at Single day. Would you challenge my record?😏
Nice job on the 17! Currently my record is a tie between Silver Bullet at Knott’s and Mystic Timbers at KI with 8 each. I can definitely understand the thigh pain after riding an RMC too many times. 2 weeks ago, I got 6 rides on Storm Chaser, plus an additional 3 on Lightning Run, and my thighs were absolutely begging me to quit
I hit Dollywood last week and did 10 runs on Lightning Rod on a rainy day when the park was almost empty (14 rides over a three day span). Lightning Rod's quad down finish has NOTHING on ArieForce One. They are in completely different stratospheres. And this is coming from someone who loves Lightning Rod.
I was dying of laughter watching this video. I came to this park on July 31st, so maybe a month after you? I came specifically for ArieForce One. There were like no lines, zero. A coaster rider's dream. I thought I would ride this thing 15-20x easily before I left the park. I mean, what else is there to do there? I rode it 6x and had to tap out. My legs hurt for three days. I did make the mistake of putting the lap bar too close to my thighs on the first run, but kept it a good 2-3" off my legs for subsequent runs. Did it matter? No. I've only ridden four RMC's so far (Gwazi, Twisted Cyclone, this and Lightning Rod) and across my 40+ rides of those other coasters, none of them made my legs bleed like this monster did. I thought it was just me, but after seeing your video, I realize I may not be in the minority!
Hey Chris! So I live 4 hours away from FSA, haven’t been their yet and it could be a long time. I am pretty surprised you made it to fun spot before your trip to Europe. I am going to the Disney water park in Orlando, and if mineblower opens in time (June 20-22) I maybe could get a ride on that. I have been to Busch gardens Tampa now, here’s my new top 5 1. Iron Gwazi 2. Wicked Cyclone 3. Superman The Ride 4. Cheetah Hunt 5. Montu (Reason why cheetah hunt is high is because my shoulders never touched the restraint) I really like how your videos have changed, adding some funny moments, and I can’t wait for more content!
Nice you got to ride arie force, didn’t think you would do it cus of your trip to the north. This will definitely make you happy, I’m heading to universal studios Florida (both parks) in the next few weeks and I can’t wait (haven’t been there since 2019 when I was scared of coasters) so now ima ride velocicoaster and hagreds.
My record for most rides on a roller coaster in one day is 65! On this!!! I have a 5 year old cousin and she is pretty tall for a 5 year old and was tall enough for other 48 inch stuff, but I don’t blame the worker cause you could tell he was slanting the height bar up when we were in the station because it’s a little much for a 5 year old😅
Nice! I was there that day too. Drove 4hr and got there to it being closed. Glad we hung around and rode it because that thing was absolutely hauling at night. Night rides on AFO are so good! The 4th ride at night I started to gray out on that turn behind the arcade and called it quits. Congrats on 17! Not sure I would have been able to haha
Man, I can’t wait to ride this thing soon. Spent last Sunday lapping Wildcat’s Revenge, and if this is anything like Wildcat, then Joe Draves is an Elite Coaster Designer
This has become my favorite coaster. My SO and I got 20 rides and we are feeling it one week later. Really is a modern day Magnum XL-200. Also I love the staff that runs this ride; they were so friendly to chat with and we loved basically just hanging out with them for a day haha.
I rode I305 about 20 times within the 6 hours KD was open when I went. Had to take an hour break after my first 10 rides lol because my entire body was just dead.
I also thought that RMC’s were the best in the back. However, I just rode Wildcats Revenge yesterday and that ride was so much better in the front than the back. All of the inversions were whipper and the airtime was stronger. It’s definitely a top 3 for me. Hopefully I’ll get to Arieforce one soon.
I’m usually a back seat rider, but found AFO to be even more forceful in the front than the back (though not until the ride starts to kick into high gear).
ArieForce One is definitely the best coaster in Georgia and it will hold a special place in my heart as it is the first coaster my girlfriend and I rode together. I can't wait to get back to ride it again.
I met you at Magic Mountain. You're awesome. I had been watching your videos for about a year. Meeting you was awesome. (It was December 23rd for anyone looking at the comment)
Hope to run into you somewhere in the north east this summer! Always loved your content, and the quality has gotten a lot better. Keep it up! Hope toros open back up if you're hitting GAdv
WAIT! American Triple Looper hasn't opened yet but is very close! Of course I am heavily biased after riding it in Germany in 1985, where it became (and still is) my all-time favorite steel coaster. If it has accordion shoulder restraints, which I heavily suspect it will, it may lose it's #1 status. I rode it with lap bars only, like on Shock Wave and Mind Bender (same trains).
Congrats on the new personal record. I did 20 on Storm Chaser last Friday. My legs can handle it, but the airtime strength starts messing with my head. My personal record is 26 on Iron Rattler. My goal for tomorrow is to set a new record with 30 on Intimidator 305. My head can't handle that many on Twisted Timbers, but I could do i305 all day.
I'm looking at doing the same northeast trip starting in the midwest (Wisconsin) and heading east... If my back finally heals in time. Sigh. Can't wait to get to Arie Force One hopefully next year. Need to do a southern trip! (Though I'm likely going to Japan next year too.)
Rode this for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it's my new number 1 out of 43 credits! It's only my third RMC though, the others being Goliath at my home park and Twisted Cyclone that I rode earlier in the day
I stayed at Fun Spot for almost the whole day on Monday and met Christopher! I got 71 rides on ArieForce One. My core and arms were so sore the next day. It was a glorious time, though.
When you said you were going to ride it 17 times, I thought no way. I had to set a limit of 8 per day on Steel Vengeance unless i want to barely be able to walk the next day, and another Vengeance ride, or Magnum would be out of the question. Im not all the way through, but if you do it, I'll be amazed. This coasters ending looks almost over the top. I thought Vengeance's ending bunny hills were bad, but these ones look worse. "Bad, and worse" are meant in a good way.
My current record is 15-20 rides on Mako, and that was on a saturday (b&m capacity go brrrr). ArieForce One looks insane and it's much higher on my bucket list now because of my amazing ride on Iron Gwazi (my first RMC, and my #1) in april. Hope to ride it someday.
Last year I went to Magic Mountain when Twisted Colossus was a walk on. I was willing to marathon it but my buddy couldn't take any more after our 6th ride lol. Still very happy how many we got on
I once did 8 on Twisted Colossus on one of those days where it was open late for spring break, but nobody was on spring break. That's the most I was able to get on TC in a day.
17 is a lot for the supposed crazy ending hills. We did like 10 on steel vengeance yesterday, but I could have kept going. Personal record is 26 times on son of beast in a day. I guess I didn’t find it as bad as everyone else, but I was a teenager and could take whatever. Was going to break it on Diamondback, but ended at 22 since we wanted to ride other things. Did Orion 18 on Thursday then 12 on SV is 4th most. May go on a rainy day and try to get 27 on it, that would be cool.
I rode ArieForce One 50 times on a Friday evening and then went to Six Flags Over Georgia the next day. I almost cried on every airtime hill on Twisted Cyclone when my thighs hit the lap bar. My legs were basically in revolt by the end of that weekend.
I've been a few times this year and that line you were in is the longest I've seen it too. Definitely in my Top 10 Overall and my #1 RMC. Coasters drop in my rankings if they're not Marathonable and AF1 & I-Rat is by far the easiest RMC to Marathon even if the ending is crucial, it's still not as hard on ya as IG, SV, Outlaw Run, or LR.
For me, it was the opposite. I could only do 6 rides on AFO before I had to tap out, but two days later did 10 rides in one day on LR. LR for me, for some reason, is much easier to go back to back. The quad down on that ride doesn't kill me nearly as bad as the quad down on AFO did. I've only ridden IG twice, so I can't speak to how that would make me feel after multiple rides in succession.
We were there right about the same day as you, but there was nobody riding the coaster hardly at all. In fact me and my son had a train all to ourselves, just the two of us in row 10. The riide ops never made us leave the train. We kept going lap after lap changing seats. The guy scanning the wristbands scanned hours while we were seated lol. Coolest ride ops ever. Those are second visit, my son's ride count is up to 40 and mine is 26. 17 the first day and 9 On that day. We were only there for an hour or maybe an hour and a half. It was ridiculous. It's definitely a top-tier RMC, but I can't put it ahead of steel vengeance. Still need to ride Gwazi
Wish I got those ride ops. I was at KK two days ago and the ops would make me go all the way around the queue line every time I wanted to ride again even though nobody was even waiting in my row.
@@RealWildWalter The best thing to do is just to jump in. Sometimes they won't see you, and even if they do they're usually won't make you get out once you're sitting down. If I'm walking away from a train and I'm walking past an empty seat I'll just grab it. I don't get to do it all that often but it hasn't backfired yet. My first time on X2 I was able to get an extra ride that way. Which was great because after the first ride I had no idea what just happened.
I absolutely love ArieForce One! It’s my second favorite coaster behind Iron Gwazi. I am actually front row guy on AF1 because it hurts less lol and later on the forces are great too. Back is stellar too but i need to actually have a tight restraint instead of roomy lol. It’s super super fun though and I absolutely love AF1 glad you did. Oh and yes, the brake run is a killer. Also on the Hurricane, yes it’s very janky; the left wheel looks like it is off the track, but there is 3 good airtime moments near the end with that ejector hill and then some absurd laterals.
I already knew you were gonna like arieforce one, considering you like magnum's triangular hills. Now you should do a review of arie and let us know where you would rank it.
i love your channel but 16 rides in a day is amateur hour. i’ve done twisted colossus 20 in a day, ghostrider 25, and SFMM wonder woman 64(!) last september. lets get those numbers up!!
My record is from back in 1994, 40, on Cedar Point's Corkscrew. I chose it as I knew it was only a minute 32 ride and low lines. took most of the day but wasn't the only coaster I rode that day.
When I visit Fun Spot Atlanta in a few weeks I’m gonna try for this many rides. Mine Blower reopened today at Fun Spot Kissimmee and I got 28 laps on it today!
@@AirtimeThrills a copy/paste of my review: Okay so Mine Blower! in total I got 28 laps in, sat in every seat, and 6 of the laps were zen rides. There’s only 3 sections of the ride that have 208 track. 1. Halfway down the first drop through going up to the inversion. The entirety of the inversion is still wood. 2. Bottom exit of the inversion, through the turnaround, through the entrance of the ejector hill 3. Final turnaround all the way through the brake run. The 208 track itself rides very smooth, it was a pleasure to ride on, and like people in the community have said about Titian track 208 track is noticeably louder than regular wood track. With that said all sections that are not 208 track have not been touched, so it’s still just as rough as before. Since the first section starts halfway down the first drop, the drop starts just as rough as before then gets smooth, then rough inversions, then without a doubt the new worst part of the ride. Exiting the inversion as you hit the turnaround and enter the 208 track there is a nasty jolt, and I mean NASTY as you transition. That jolt is worse than any part of mine blower you thought was rough before. It’s BAD. Then you’re still on smooth 208 track as you enter the ejector hill, and right as the ejector air hits it transitions to rough wood track and while as not as bad as the previous jolt I would definitely say it’s jarring and in general a terrible transition. Guests on the train audibly groaned at those two parts and even on my first few laps before I got used to it I audibly said “DAMNNNNNNNN” After that the course is unchanged and rides exactly the same as before, until the turnaround before the final brake run which runs like a DREAM, smooth laterals around that turnaround and the little pops and laterals going into the brake run ride amazing on the 208 track. To Summarize: The final turnaround to the brake run is amazing, but the other sections with the nasty jolt and jarring transition are rougher than anything Mine Blower had before, so overall, I’d say it’s worse than it was before. If you weren’t a fan of Mine Blower before, you still won’t be a fan now.
This is kinda a weird question but were you at a Costco in Peachtree City recently? I saw someone there that looked a lot like you and I almost went up and talked to them but I figured it wasn't you so I didn't.
Man I was just at Hersheypark for the first time and Wildcat's revenge was so close to being my new fav coaster. Skyrush was horrible on the thighs but the layout was amazing the first ride was ok then the second was horrible because I just kept on fighting the restraint but the third and forth ride I just forget about the restraint and focused on the ride and Skyrush Is definitely high in my ranking however I do agree they are the worst restraints I have riden with.
I can't believe you can ride one ride 17 times in a day, my record is 4 in one day on Steel Vengeance... Also if you have it by now, what is Arie Force One rated in your coaster ranking?
It is fairly easy to lap it based on the lines. I got 19 on the day I went and we were waiting like 10-15 minutes each time. The biggest challenge is your thighs.
So your limit is 4, huh? Mine was 4 a couple years ago. I can now make it through 8 rides in a day on Vengeance without my thighs refusing me rides on it, and Magnum the next day. I don't know if my thighs just got used to the beating, or I just got more dumber😅.
21 laps of X during the first year on the day when it was open exclusively to passholders during the winter holiday. I've done more on other rides during enthusiast events.
I love your channel. Thanks for sharing but you too are complaining about I can't ride it anymore. I go whitewater kayaking. When you flip going down a class 4 rapid, now that's a beating. No roller coaster is going to do that lol. So bulk up like you said. 🤣Love your channel can't wait to see more.
My record was 8 on twisted colossus and did it without getting off would of went longer but the park closed but it was the perfect day got a big rain storm a few hours before close almost e one left an the park was empty when things cleared up
Dang man I thought I had you beat with 12 rides in one day. How long were you there for? Also yeah hurricane’s turnarounds are probably the worst coaster transitions I’ve ever experienced.
This reminds me of the time were I got 5 rides in a row on twisted colosus because we went to the back of the park to ride it when the park opened. We got 3 rides in the back and 1 in the front.
I'm a local. It depends entirely on how busy the park is and whether the ops are making you go around. I've gotten 50 rides in five and a half hours on a slow day when the ops were letting us just keep our seats on the train, and that was taking a couple of breaks, so I was averaging around 10 an hour when I was actively riding. If it's a slow day and they make you go around, you can still get 5-7 an hour. Even if it's busy, you'll still likely get 3-4 an hour, because busy at Fun Spot Atlanta isn't the same as busy in larger parks.
Subtitles for my 5 second review: “probably my second favorite RMC behind Gwazi, that was insane” 🤣 It was awesome riding with you!
Yes thank you for the subtitles! I could hear even less of it on camera than in person
It is so good!
New challenge: ride Skyrush 17 times in a day
Oh wow i actually might if possible
@@AirtimeThrills it’s possible, I’ve done it 35 times in a row one time!
Yeah just go on a Wednesday in July. Station wait all day.
@Fahrenheit97 dang!!!! I’m goin Friday, ima beat ur record

@@DoomPlague RCCA probably beat you up so bad you could no longer feel pain.

Can hardly wait to see what else they add to this park.
I just had my mind blown by Steel Vengeance a couple weeks ago. But I'll have to check this out someday if I can manage to get down there.

I hit Dollywood last week and did 10 runs on Lightning Rod on a rainy day when the park was almost empty (14 rides over a three day span). Lightning Rod's quad down finish has NOTHING on ArieForce One. They are in completely different stratospheres. And this is coming from someone who loves Lightning Rod.

We rode GASM last year after the track work & it was great. Haven't made it to FunSpot Atlanta yet.
Agreed
I'm looking at doing the same northeast trip starting in the midwest (Wisconsin) and heading east... If my back finally heals in time. Sigh. Can't wait to get to Arie Force One hopefully next year. Need to do a southern trip! (Though I'm likely going to Japan next year too.)
Husband and I rode it for the first time a few weeks ago! I rode it 5 times, he rode it 3! We loved it!
Rode this for the first time a couple weeks ago, and it's my new number 1 out of 43 credits! It's only my third RMC though, the others being Goliath at my home park and Twisted Cyclone that I rode earlier in the day
I stayed at Fun Spot for almost the whole day on Monday and met Christopher! I got 71 rides on ArieForce One. My core and arms were so sore the next day. It was a glorious time, though.
When you said you were going to ride it 17 times, I thought no way. I had to set a limit of 8 per day on Steel Vengeance unless i want to barely be able to walk the next day, and another Vengeance ride, or Magnum would be out of the question. Im not all the way through, but if you do it, I'll be amazed. This coasters ending looks almost over the top. I thought Vengeance's ending bunny hills were bad, but these ones look worse. "Bad, and worse" are meant in a good way.
2:32 my record is like 50 on the wild thing at wild waves when you went twice vs once now
So I kind of rid it 100 times if that counts
Nice work on the 17 rides! My current record for consecutive rides in one day is 40 on leviathan, wonder if I’ll ever beat that again lol
I rode in 11 times when we went, once in each row and did the front row a 2nd time for my last ride. My thighs were done!
We road it 6 times and our thighs were sore. You are truly amazing.
ArieForce One has definitly climbed its way to the top of my bucket list
It’s 100% worth it
Sameeeeee I have already planned a trip to Georgia later this year lol
I drove 4.5 hours from Savannah just to ride it. Yes….. it’s 100% worth it!
Nice video! How were your legs the next day?
You need to go to beech bend soon. Kentucky Rumbler got titan track so it’s smoother in the rough patches.
Glad to see some love for row 6. Row 6 red side Is my magic seat.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh! You can't rename the ride ArieForce Revenge. LOL! Glad you loved it!
I think I rode ArieForce with Impractical Coasters the first time I was there. I talked to him a good bit and had no idea who he was.
My current record is 15-20 rides on Mako, and that was on a saturday (b&m capacity go brrrr). ArieForce One looks insane and it's much higher on my bucket list now because of my amazing ride on Iron Gwazi (my first RMC, and my #1) in april. Hope to ride it someday.
Iron Gwazi is better than ArieForce One, but it's so close as to be splitting hairs.
I'm glad you finally got to ride it
Last year I went to Magic Mountain when Twisted Colossus was a walk on. I was willing to marathon it but my buddy couldn't take any more after our 6th ride lol.
Still very happy how many we got on
I once did 8 on Twisted Colossus on one of those days where it was open late for spring break, but nobody was on spring break. That's the most I was able to get on TC in a day.
17 is a lot for the supposed crazy ending hills. We did like 10 on steel vengeance yesterday, but I could have kept going. Personal record is 26 times on son of beast in a day. I guess I didn’t find it as bad as everyone else, but I was a teenager and could take whatever. Was going to break it on Diamondback, but ended at 22 since we wanted to ride other things. Did Orion 18 on Thursday then 12 on SV is 4th most. May go on a rainy day and try to get 27 on it, that would be cool.
hold on, you had 16 rides on ghost rider? with it’s capacity?
Dead off season weekday and some rides we didnt have to get off
Ik
Hey I follow Impractical Coasters! I missed you by like 3 days. I had to tap out after 7 rides. That ending is so painful
Dang, I'm in Atlanta, so I guess I really need to stop by this place soon to give this ride a try!!
I rode ArieForce One 50 times on a Friday evening and then went to Six Flags Over Georgia the next day. I almost cried on every airtime hill on Twisted Cyclone when my thighs hit the lap bar.
My legs were basically in revolt by the end of that weekend.
You really need a massage gun bro
I've been a few times this year and that line you were in is the longest I've seen it too. Definitely in my Top 10 Overall and my #1 RMC. Coasters drop in my rankings if they're not Marathonable and AF1 & I-Rat is by far the easiest RMC to Marathon even if the ending is crucial, it's still not as hard on ya as IG, SV, Outlaw Run, or LR.
For me, it was the opposite. I could only do 6 rides on AFO before I had to tap out, but two days later did 10 rides in one day on LR. LR for me, for some reason, is much easier to go back to back. The quad down on that ride doesn't kill me nearly as bad as the quad down on AFO did. I've only ridden IG twice, so I can't speak to how that would make me feel after multiple rides in succession.
We were there right about the same day as you, but there was nobody riding the coaster hardly at all. In fact me and my son had a train all to ourselves, just the two of us in row 10.
The riide ops never made us leave the train. We kept going lap after lap changing seats. The guy scanning the wristbands scanned hours while we were seated lol. Coolest ride ops ever.
Those are second visit, my son's ride count is up to 40 and mine is 26. 17 the first day and 9 On that day. We were only there for an hour or maybe an hour and a half. It was ridiculous.
It's definitely a top-tier RMC, but I can't put it ahead of steel vengeance. Still need to ride Gwazi
Wish I got those ride ops. I was at KK two days ago and the ops would make me go all the way around the queue line every time I wanted to ride again even though nobody was even waiting in my row.
@@RealWildWalter The best thing to do is just to jump in. Sometimes they won't see you, and even if they do they're usually won't make you get out once you're sitting down. If I'm walking away from a train and I'm walking past an empty seat I'll just grab it. I don't get to do it all that often but it hasn't backfired yet. My first time on X2 I was able to get an extra ride that way. Which was great because after the first ride I had no idea what just happened.
I absolutely love ArieForce One! It’s my second favorite coaster behind Iron Gwazi. I am actually front row guy on AF1 because it hurts less lol and later on the forces are great too. Back is stellar too but i need to actually have a tight restraint instead of roomy lol. It’s super super fun though and I absolutely love AF1 glad you did.
Oh and yes, the brake run is a killer. Also on the Hurricane, yes it’s very janky; the left wheel looks like it is off the track, but there is 3 good airtime moments near the end with that ejector hill and then some absurd laterals.
Agree 100%. I rode the back to say I did it, but every ride after that one was closer to the front just to save myself from unnecessary pain, lol.
I already knew you were gonna like arieforce one, considering you like magnum's triangular hills. Now you should do a review of arie and let us know where you would rank it.
i love your channel but 16 rides in a day is amateur hour. i’ve done twisted colossus 20 in a day, ghostrider 25, and SFMM wonder woman 64(!) last september. lets get those numbers up!!
to be fair i did hear this shit is really painful
@@johanlenoxgot those numbers up…my current record is 142 on AFO in one day 🎢
My record is from back in 1994, 40, on Cedar Point's Corkscrew. I chose it as I knew it was only a minute 32 ride and low lines. took most of the day but wasn't the only coaster I rode that day.
Can you ride I305 27 times in a day?
Great to see y’all at my home parks!!!
Dude if you can do 17 on this, you absolutely can do a couple on Skyrush and enjoy it 😂
Are you going to get to 6 flags New England this trip?
Not this year
@@AirtimeThrills Too bad, Superman is riding really fast this year as well as wicked cyclone!
I was there literally all day and didn't even get 10 rides 🤣 you're a warrior
Maybe I missed it but did you give a review/opinion? Attempt at a ranking position?
Im saving my complete thoughts for Thursdays review but i did hint where it would land (top 10)
@@AirtimeThrills That's so exciting! I was hoping this ride was going to be THAT good. Can't wait to ride it! Looking forward to Thursday!
@@taylordixon5871 i would be stunned if anyone came away disappointed with that layout and those forces
When I visit Fun Spot Atlanta in a few weeks I’m gonna try for this many rides.
Mine Blower reopened today at Fun Spot Kissimmee and I got 28 laps on it today!
Wow thats great, i saw it reopened, im guessing its smoothes out now?
@@AirtimeThrills a copy/paste of my review:
Okay so Mine Blower! in total I got 28 laps in, sat in every seat, and 6 of the laps were zen rides.
There’s only 3 sections of the ride that have 208 track.
1. Halfway down the first drop through going up to the inversion. The entirety of the inversion is still wood.
2. Bottom exit of the inversion, through the turnaround, through the entrance of the ejector hill
3. Final turnaround all the way through the brake run.
The 208 track itself rides very smooth, it was a pleasure to ride on, and like people in the community have said about Titian track 208 track is noticeably louder than regular wood track.
With that said all sections that are not 208 track have not been touched, so it’s still just as rough as before.
Since the first section starts halfway down the first drop, the drop starts just as rough as before then gets smooth, then rough inversions, then without a doubt the new worst part of the ride.
Exiting the inversion as you hit the turnaround and enter the 208 track there is a nasty jolt, and I mean NASTY as you transition. That jolt is worse than any part of mine blower you thought was rough before. It’s BAD.
Then you’re still on smooth 208 track as you enter the ejector hill, and right as the ejector air hits it transitions to rough wood track and while as not as bad as the previous jolt I would definitely say it’s jarring and in general a terrible transition. Guests on the train audibly groaned at those two parts and even on my first few laps before I got used to it I audibly said “DAMNNNNNNNN”
After that the course is unchanged and rides exactly the same as before, until the turnaround before the final brake run which runs like a DREAM, smooth laterals around that turnaround and the little pops and laterals going into the brake run ride amazing on the 208 track.
To Summarize: The final turnaround to the brake run is amazing, but the other sections with the nasty jolt and jarring transition are rougher than anything Mine Blower had before, so overall, I’d say it’s worse than it was before.
If you weren’t a fan of Mine Blower before, you still won’t be a fan now.
This is kinda a weird question but were you at a Costco in Peachtree City recently? I saw someone there that looked a lot like you and I almost went up and talked to them but I figured it wasn't you so I didn't.
Lucky you didn't, the only costco ive been to recently has been in tulsa
So how many stairs did you climb between rides??
Ha...yeah there was a ton, probably 30 up and 30 down, so over 500 each direction
Man I was just at Hersheypark for the first time and Wildcat's revenge was so close to being my new fav coaster. Skyrush was horrible on the thighs but the layout was amazing the first ride was ok then the second was horrible because I just kept on fighting the restraint but the third and forth ride I just forget about the restraint and focused on the ride and Skyrush Is definitely high in my ranking however I do agree they are the worst restraints I have riden with.
Love to see the vlogs come back
Does anyone know if you can buy 1 ride ticket or do you have to do a normal all rides pass.
Single ride tickets are available if you dont want the wristband
@@AirtimeThrillsthanks I was wondering because I will be driving by but don’t have that much time.
Is that the same Hurricane they have in Kissimmee?
Not quite but similar
Hey Chris I was wondering if you can do a video of the top 20 best roller coaster logos.
Love your content, hope your legs recovered 👍😁
Wow that’s one crazy ride to marathon! 🙌 the most I’ve done is Mako at SeaWorld but that’s WAYY more tame compared to this ride 😂
I can't believe you can ride one ride 17 times in a day, my record is 4 in one day on Steel Vengeance...
Also if you have it by now, what is Arie Force One rated in your coaster ranking?
It is fairly easy to lap it based on the lines. I got 19 on the day I went and we were waiting like 10-15 minutes each time. The biggest challenge is your thighs.
Ah ha you will find that out on Thursday
So your limit is 4, huh? Mine was 4 a couple years ago. I can now make it through 8 rides in a day on Vengeance without my thighs refusing me rides on it, and Magnum the next day. I don't know if my thighs just got used to the beating, or I just got more dumber😅.
@@AirtimeThrills oh okay, I can wait
@@Spike-sk7ql no I just had to ride everything in 2 days
21 laps of X during the first year on the day when it was open exclusively to passholders during the winter holiday. I've done more on other rides during enthusiast events.
I love your channel. Thanks for sharing but you too are complaining about I can't ride it anymore. I go whitewater kayaking. When you flip going down a class 4 rapid, now that's a beating. No roller coaster is going to do that lol. So bulk up like you said. 🤣Love your channel can't wait to see more.
Yeah, ill bring my thigh pads next time and be prepared
My record was 8 on twisted colossus and did it without getting off would of went longer but the park closed but it was the perfect day got a big rain storm a few hours before close almost e one left an the park was empty when things cleared up
“I went on (aerie force one) seventeen times” *clap*clap - Airtime thrills
When you eventually return to Lagoon for Primordial, would love to hang out and see your first reactions to it! I'm stoked for it myself!
Dang man I thought I had you beat with 12 rides in one day. How long were you there for? Also yeah hurricane’s turnarounds are probably the worst coaster transitions I’ve ever experienced.
I was there from 10 to 5, we did take some breaks to ride other stuff but it was the breakdowns that really slowed us down
@@AirtimeThrills Yeah I bet without breakdowns you could've done 20+ rides
This reminds me of the time were I got 5 rides in a row on twisted colosus because we went to the back of the park to ride it when the park opened. We got 3 rides in the back and 1 in the front.
Finally someone who has not been on a ride like a million times in a day. I got 6 rides on Silver Bullet
that’s pretty crazy that you can marathon a coaster this new. I’ll make it there someday
When do you start your European trip?
Wicked Cyclone was hauling Yesterday in the front row!
But is it better than Steel Vengeance though?
I wouldn't blame anyone for saying it is. It is definitely 1000X easier to ride
Glad you rode arie force one it is amazing btw my record is 29 on lightning rod
Yeah right. 😂...That piece of crap can barely run 29 times in a week.😂
So how long did it take to ride it 17 times?
I'm a local. It depends entirely on how busy the park is and whether the ops are making you go around. I've gotten 50 rides in five and a half hours on a slow day when the ops were letting us just keep our seats on the train, and that was taking a couple of breaks, so I was averaging around 10 an hour when I was actively riding. If it's a slow day and they make you go around, you can still get 5-7 an hour. Even if it's busy, you'll still likely get 3-4 an hour, because busy at Fun Spot Atlanta isn't the same as busy in larger parks.
You have me beat by four rides, Chris. Guess I'll have to head down to funspot to beat your record this weekend.
