According to his own rankings, Prairie Screamer has beaten all Vekoma, Premier Rides, and S&S coasters he's ever ridden. (Obviously there are some rides by at least some of those manufacturers that could beat Prairie Screamer, but he hasn't ridden them yet. He'll probably ride at least one of them this coming year, though.)
I actually Have the E&F Miller Credit That Was at Casino Pier Throughout the Second Half of the 2000’s and it pulled negative G Forces of Airtime Plus Wildmouse Style Hairpin Turning Laterals on those tight compact Turns Starjet Truly was a one Of A Kind Golden Gem on the Jersey Boardwalks Before Sandy Hit so I get the hype He Has For the Last Truly outstanding E&F Miller Coaster The Scandia Screamer or Something like that but better than Maverick and Millennium Force I think nooot
Time warp is SO close, but it just can’t beat Flight Deck! It’s truly a masterpiece. Shout out to Paramount Parks and all of the great rides they gave to Canada’s Wonderland!
My top 10 coasters I’ve ridden (out of 134 credits): 1. Velocicoaster - the perfect mix of intensity, thrills, airtime, and theming. Plus, it ends with my favorite ending to any coaster. 2. Steel Vengeance - Long, smooth, great airtime, and a top tier night ride 3. El Toro - A wooden coaster that has the demented elements of its steel counterparts 4. Iron Gwazi - the king of pacing, just might be too much intensity even for me. 5. Wildcat’s Revenge - A smaller RMC with the punch of Iron Gwazi 6. GOTG Cosmic Rewind: World’s longest indoor coaster and my most-ridden coaster of 2024 during my DCP 7. Space Mountain (WDW): Very strong ejector, top tier theming, and my most nostalgic coaster. 8. Maverick: Crazy launches, snaps, and inversions 9. Mystic Timbers: Relentless pacing and airtime, also very smooth for a woodie. I just wish that shed wasn’t as boring. 10. Millennium Force: I rode this for the first time in 2023, yet I already feel nostalgic towards this. Maybe it’s because I’m an early 2000s kid, so the vibe just hits me, I’m not sure. Honorable Mentions: Orion, Kingda Ka, and Hagrid’s
@@LydsTherinNotamonthis year is my only time riding The Beast, but my rides were utterly amazing, out of control, and had just the right amount of woodie rumble for my 50 year old self. I totally get why he has it ranked so high and I could even understand someone putting it in their top 5. It's truly a unique experience.
Nice to see Steve at number 1 still. Also here’s my top 10 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Velocicoaster 3. Maverick 4. Storm Chaser 5. Diamondback 6. Orion 7. Lightning Rod 8. Magnum xl 200 9. Mystic Timbers 10. Cosmic Rewind Coasters that have potential to enter my top 10 next year: Twisted Timbers, Pantherian(aka i305),Rapterra, Time Traveler, Outlaw Run, Raging Bull, Goliath, Maxx Force, Top Thrill 2, Sirens Curse, Iron Gwazi
Top 5: (keep in mind I’ve only been to 7 theme parks) 5- Twisted Cyclone 4- Thunderhead (most underrated coaster of all time) 3- Goliath 2- Velocicoaster 1- Fury
Thunderhead is absolutely underrated. I think it is better than Mystic Timbers because it is much longer and has much more consistent airtime. I have had rides on Mystic Timbers with no airtime, but Thunderhead always has airtime.
I 100% agree with you on wicked cyclone! It was running so fast last year when I first ride it I had it above steel vengeance but now steel vengeance is ahead again
Good list Chris! I was able to get some new credits this year when I went to Six Flags Great America for the first time. What’s ironic is our # 1 and # 2 coasters are the exact same.
My top 50 coasters (out of 118): 1- Eejanaika (Fuji-Q Highland) - Just pure insanity and intesity from start to finish. 2- Toutatis (Parc Astérix) - Great swing launch, really dynamic layout and powerful airtime, especially backwards. 3- Voltron (Europa Park) - Some of the greatest airtime I've experienced, the beyond vertical launch is a real treat and it's forceful throughout. Only con is the rattle, which can vary from very much tolerable to headache inducing. You can also get stapled by the restraints, which lower automatically. 4- Ride to Happiness (Plopsaland de Panne) - Super varied, really strong airtime. The onboard audio is incredible and really elevates the experience. Once again a bit rough and you can get stapled by the automatic restraints. 5- Kondaa (Walibi Belgium) - Great coaster that feels like a mix of Expedition GeForce in the first half and an RMC in the second half. It's a decently intense but a bit tamer than the rides that are above it. 6- Taron (Phantasialand) - Really snappy with a few airtime pops, but it's not as powerful as the coasters in my top 5 and every half does die out by the end. 7- Expedition GeForce (Holiday Park Germany) - Insane airtime almost full throughout. Still smooth after 23 years. 8- Untamed (Walibi Holland) - My first RMC, probably underrated given I only got 2 rides on it, it's insanely well paced and has some really strong pops of airtime. 9- Tonnerre 2 Zeus (Parc Astérix) - Rattly but really intense, best airtime and pacing of any wooden coaster that I've ridden. Also best wooden coaster trains I've been on. 10- [Defunct] Wild Train (Fantasiana) - Really sentimental about this one but it was crazy, it tried to send you into space. Even got a wheel from it 😉. 11- Silver Star (Europa Park) 12- Monster (Walygator Grand Est) 13- Hals-über-Kopf (Tripsdrill) 14- OzIris (Parc Astérix) 15- Black Mamba (Phantasialand) 16- Karacho (Tripsdrill) 17- FLY (Phantasialand) 18- Fenix (Toverland) 19- Wodan Timbur Coaster (Europa Park) 20- Joris en de Draak (Vuur) (Efteling) 21- Joris en de Draak (Water) (Efteling) 22- Sky Scream (Holiday Park Germany) 23- Blue Fire (Europa Park) 24- [Retracked] Tonnerre de Zeus (Parc Astérix) 25- Fujiyama (Fuji-Q Highland) 26- Zokkon (Fuji-Q Highland) 27- Dwervelwind (Toverland) 28- Mammut (Tripsdrill) 29- Troy (Toverland) 30- Lost Gravity (Walibi Holland) 31- Goudurix (Parc Astérix) 32- Mine Blower (Fun Spot Kissimmee) 33- Anubis The Ride (Plopsaland de Panne) 34- Python (Retrack) (Efteling) 35- Baron 1898 (Efteling) 36- Avengers Assemble: Flight Force (Disneyland Paris - Walt Disney Studios Park) 37- Star Wars Hyperspace Mountain: Rebel Mission (Disneyland Paris - Disneyland Park) 38- Psyké Underground/Turbine (Walibi Belgium) 39- Winja's Fear (Phantasialand) 40- Winja's Force (Phantasialand) 41- Crush's Coaster (Disneyland Paris - Walt Disney Studios Park) 42- Pulsar (Walibi Belgium) 43- Vampire (Walibi Belgium) 44- Crazy Bats (Phantasialand) 45- Eurosat: CanCan Coaster (Europa Park) 46- Vogel Rok (Efteling) 47- Heidi the Ride (Plopsaland de Panne) 48- Vliegende Hollander (Efteling) 49- Big Thunder Mountain (Disneyland Paris - Disneyland Park) 50- Pégase Express (Parc Astérix)
@AirtimeThrills your content is always worth the hype! Love the rankings as always. I definitely appreciate the continued love for Raging Bull and Magnum XL-200, two of my all time favorites. Really wished TT2 had went differently so I could hear your thoughts and opinions. I would've loved to see where it ranked on this list! I wasn't the biggest TTD fan but TT2 blew me away! Lastly, Here's to The Beast! Wow! What a leap forward. And a much deserved one imo. Ran great this year when we visited.
@@vegasstafford9061 The Beast was incredible this year, Ive never felt that way about it after getting off in ANY of the trips to KI compared to this year. Enjoy it while it lasts
Love to see that my top 100 count for yours is 35/100 now. I still love Thunderhead more than Mystic Timbers after riding them back to back last year. Love the Beast respect this year. Here's to another great year of coasters in 2025 🎉
The best thing about twisted timbers is that you can marathon it if you come to the park at the opening. Because it's in the back of the park, you can get like 10-20 walk on rides in a row to start the day. Storm Chaser is similar in that regard.
Absolutely have done that with both coatsers, but at least for Timbers both days at KD were pretty dead. The first time I rode Timbers we did a 6 ride marathon, didnt get off for 3 of them
As everyone is doing their top 10s, I thought I'd do my top 5 (as I only have 60 credits lol) 5. GOTG Cosmic Rewind (Epcot) - Got only 1 ride in 2022 and it was amazing. The whole experience of it is just breathtaking and is impossible to not have a massive smile on your face throughout the entire ride. Also has my favourite launch ever. 4. Hagrids Motorbike Adventure (IoA) - The best themed rollercoaster in the world. First waited over 4 hours to ride it in 2019 only 2 months after it opened and it was worth every second of waiting. 2 more rides in 2022 cemented it in my top 5. 3. Mako (Seaworld) - Airtime machine. Got my first ride and was able to marathon this in 2022. The only B&M hyper I've been on but I get why its seen as one of the best. 2. Hyperia (Thorpe Park) - Maybe the best first drop in the world. Falling 230+ feet directly downwards, 80mph, while the track turns 180 degrees beneath you, completely out of your seat the entire time is a feeling like no other. On top of that some of the best airtime and most terrifying elements I've experienced (that outerbank...). Would be my #1 if it wasn't so short. 1. Velocicoaster - The complete package. Speed, airtime, inversions, theming. My first ride (in the back row btw) when I went over the top hat had me holding on to dear life and shouting words I probably shouldn't repeat, which no coaster has ever made me do. My favourite memory of any coaster I've been on. Velocicoaster is truly the king of all coasters imo and my #1 (until I ride an RMC haha).
@@AirtimeThrills I'm from the UK and have only ever been to Orlando for coasters so they make up the majority of my list haha! I'm hoping to either get out to some European parks or go back to Orlando with my family for Epic Universe in the future! 🫶
I'm excited i should be going on your #2,#3,#4 for the first time this summer. Although I heard from a certain person that Fury 325 is just a basic coaster you find at any park. My current top 10: 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Maverick 3. Beast 4. Mystic Timbers 5. Pantheon 6. Wildcat's Revenge 7. El Toro 8. Twisted Timbers 9. Kingda Ka 10. Diamondback

My Top 10: 10. Icon at Blackpool Pleasure Beach 9. Flucht von Novgorod at Hansa-Park 8. Nemesis Reborn at Alton Towers 7. The Smiler at Alton Towers 6. Taron at Phantasialand 5. Der Schwur des Kärnan 4. DC Rivals HyperCoaster at Warner Bros. Movie World 3. Hyperia at Thorpe Park 2. F.L.Y. at Phantasialand 1. Colossos at Heide Park If a park isn't represented here just assume I haven't been there.
Top 25 for me as of 2024: 25) MAKO - Someone puked on me and I only got one ride so may be higher if I had better experience 24) FURY 325 - This felt like Mako but less airtime hills and more twisty turns 23) MAVERICK - I got to ride this with a stuffed animal I won 22) TWISTED COLOSSUS - This one hurt my butt, otherwise I really like getting basically two rides in one 21) X2 - I like the outside seats a lot cause it’s like I’m being abused. Very sentimental 20) THE BEAST - Basically a wooden mine train and nothing special but during the ride I saw a man piss in the woods which was cool. 19) TIME TRAVELER - My friends tried to disable the magnet so we spin out of control but it didn’t work. Still fun though. 18) DIAMONDBACk - This one also made my butt hurt but the rattle gave me a satisfying tickling euphoric feeling. 17) MAXX FORCE - When the launch went boom it was very scary and cool. 16) WILDCATS REVENGE - This one made me feel like I was going to fall out of my seat! 15) EL TORO - This was my brother’s favorite ride. RIP Charlie. We spread Charlie’s ashes under the rolling thunder hill. 14) THE VOYAGE - I like how long this was. It gave me time to reflect on my life. 13) MILLENNIUM FORCE - Mid, forceless, and overrated. 12) TOUTATIS - My only coaster I rode in France cause everything else was closed. I love the French. 11) PHANTOMS REVENGE - The second drop dropped so low, I thought I was going to die. 10) PANTHEON - This one had good twists and turns and cool elements. 9) VELOCICOASTER - Like Pantheon but this one has dinosaurs 🦕 🦖!!!! 8) ARIEFORCE ONE - I got to do this 184 times in one day! 7) IRON GWAZI - Like ArieForce One but on steroids 6) OUTLAW RUN - Like Iron Gwazi but on cocaine and I prefer cocaine more than steroids. 5) OG MEAN STREAK - This one beat me up more than my old dad. 4) STEEL VENGEANCE - I really enjoy the airtime 3) KINGDA KA - 😞 2) TOP THRILL 2 - It broke down and closed when I was on it. They had to evacuate me off the top hat. That was cool. 1) PANTHERIAN - I blacked out after the first turn and died. They revived me in the hospital and it will always be my favorite
2024 marks the my first year since 2007 that I didn't actually make it out to a theme park so this is my unchanged top 10 10. Dragon Khan (PortAventura) 9. Fire of Duelling Dragons (Islands of Adventure) 8. Manta (SeaWorld Orlando) 7. Kraken (SeaWorld Orlando) 6. SIK (Flamingo Land) 5. Icon's spinning seat (Blackpool Pleasure Beach) 4. Incredible Hulk pre retrack (Islands of Adventure) 3. Shambhala (PortAventura) 2. Nemesis pre retrack (Alton Towers) 1. Red Force (Ferrari Land)
Great list! Always some surprises as to be expected... My list has no shortage of them either. I rode 40 new coasters this year, and 16 of them made it to the top 50. I did not get any rerides, so there were no jumps/falls. Out of 163 credits, here is my top 50: 50. Superman: Ultimate Flight (SFOG) 49. Nighthawk 48. Magnum XL-200 47. SheiKra 46. Griffon 45. Legend 44. Alpengeist 43. Great Bear 42. Afterburn 41. Batman the Ride (SFOG) 40. Ice Breaker 39. White Lightning 38. SkyRush 37. Lightning Run 36. Thunderbird 35. GateKeeper 34. Thunderhead 33.

Twisted Timbers 9. Mako 8. Goliath (SFOG) 7. Lightning Rod (2021 ver) 6. Maverick 5. Wildcat's Revenge 4. Project 305 3. Fury 325 2. ArieForce One 1. Steel Vengeance Instead of giving my opinions for each, feel free to ask me questions instead! I will say, Steel Vengeance did not blow me away when I first rode it like some rides, but now I see why people say it's number 1. It's hard to beat just how long and complete of a ride it is. It always feels like it's worth the wait, which is hard to say about many coasters.
After riding 117 new to me coasters this year, my top 5, 10, 15, 20, 50, and 100 have changed pretty drastically. (I had previously ridden 25 coasters across 3 parks)
I love your list, especially your top 2. Of the slightly over 160 coasters I've ridden, my 2nd favourite is Fury 325 and my favourite is Steel Vengeance, just like you're top two. But I only got 10 rides on SteVe, in late May 2018 whereas I got 97 on Fury 325, in three days and 4 hours of a 4th day in mid April 2023 and it's the coaster I've ridden the most after Coaster at Playland in Vancouver in 2017 alone.
Love to see The Beast rise so much, one of my favorites at my home park. Here's my top 10: 1. Velocicoaster- a phenominal set of elements sequenced in the perfect order with excellent theming. 2. The Voyage- My rides in the back row during the summer were simply incredible, haven't experienced this trimless, would probably be my new #1. 3. Iron Gwazi- A wonderfully brutal RMC. Edges out Aire due to delivering an excellent night ride 4. Aireforce One- The most well-rounded RMC in my opinion, delivering much more positives than the others. 5. Fury325- The insane low to the ground elements are as good as they sound. 6. Orion- The strangest choice in my top 10, Orion retains its speed despite its large elements, making each of them extremely powerful especially during the right weather conditions. Also provides a great night ride due to its lighting package. Still worse than Fury overall though due to its shorter length. Rainy night rides on this thing are insane. 7. Steel Vengeance- Gets points for being the longest RMC and providing great airtime and inversions, though it ranks lower than gwazi and aire due to weaker pacing and a less well rounded layout. 8. Intimidator 305- Insane intensity complimented by amazing airtime moments. Is ranked lower than other gigas due to worse restraints 9. Top Thrill 2- Brutal intensity, launches, and airtime off the top hat. I hope others get to ride it soon. 10. Levithan- A great giga with excellent speed and elements, though it lacks an X factor that other gigas have. No disrespect towards it though, it's still a top tier ride.
Sadly I was without a coaster ride in 2024 but here is my top 24 (out of admittedly a very small pool of options that I've ridden). Hopefully next year will be the year I finally make it over to San Anton to SF Fiesta Texas. 1 Velocicoaster tied with Iron Gwazi 1 Iron Gwazi tied with Velocicoaster 2 Cosmic Rewind best dark ride coaster 3 Pipeline the new car design is legit 4 Hagrids two coasters in one with the different riding positions 5 Manta best flying 6 Alpengeist best suspension 7 Superman Ultimate Flight SFOG bumped down by Manta 8 Mako best hyper 9 The Mummy bumped down the rankings by Cosmic Rewind but still a great coaster 10 Griffon best dive 11 Kumba still great after 30 years 12 The Incredible Hulk how is Kumba still as smooth as the Hulk when Hulk has been retracked? 13 Rip Ride Rocket not as rough as people claim it is. 14 Cheetah Hunt a solid coaster just too many good ones above it 15 Montu overrated suspension, I have no idea why so many rate this higher than Alpengeist... 16 The Big Bad Wolf, god how I miss this coaster 17 Gringots great theming saves it from being lower 18 Goliath SFOG hypers aren't my thing 19 Apollo's Chariot hypers really really aren't my thing 20 The Georgia Scorcher comfortable and good for a stand up, hope they give it pipeline trains some day 21 Batman the Ride SFOG forces are a bit too much for me and the first drop is pittifully short 22 Loch Ness Monster sorry Nessy but the competition has gotten really fierce 23 Verbolten not as good as the Wolf was
"and I'll see if it can both toss me out of my seat, crush me back into it, and give me a long ride full of elite forces, while I rock out to Kanye West." could be the best combination ever!!
Keep in mind I only have like 40 credits but my top 10 are: 1. Intimidator 305 2. Twisted Timbers 3. Pantheon 4. Alpengeist 5. Apollo's Chariot 6. Dominator 7. Griffon 8. Racer 75 9. Flight of Fear 10. Tempesto All of my credits are from like 3 parks so just keep that in mind as well. Those parks are Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and SeaWorld San Diego if you're curious.
I found it surprising that The Beast is that high, it's clear that the night rides and retrack improves this experience. Prairie Screamer as well, E&F Miler has gone nuts with this one, but I'm baffled that E&F didn't sell more of these.
@@AirtimeThrills Knoebels came out a big winner this year. Phoenix jumped up the list, and Flying Turns got _on_ the list. There are a lot of parks in the current Six Flags chain that don't have 2+ coasters in your top 100!
Someone may have already commented this, but I noticed in your list at the beginning you have Sweden at two coasters in your top 50 but you list three from Sweden (Balder, Helix, Wildfire) during the video.
I live in Orlando and have never really gotten a great ride on Rip Ride Rocket...until this past Saturday. 3rd row on the right side and I got crazy good airtime. Not sure if I will get to experience it again, but I now get where you're coming from
3rd row huh...I rode it a bunch in 2012 and loved it but I dont remember details. 2021 I just got 1 ride in the back and that seemed like the magic row
I might be remembering it wrong, but I’ve only ridden diamondback one day and I got 3 rides on it 2 at night and 1 mid-day and it was not even the slightest bit rough.
I am confident Eejanaika and Hakugei will be in my top 50. maybe Takabisha, Fujiyama maybe a long shot, maybe Flying Dinosaur, Thunder Dolphin, heck maybe even SD2k, a lot of contenders
@@Str8trackhaters all the major ones plus some of the smaller ones but not all of them. Disney universal tobu fuji nagashima tokyo dome yomiuriland and so on
@@AirtimeThrills It's crazy, the possibilities. Do try out Pyrenees at Shima Spain Mura in Ise peninsula. By far the best B&M invert. One thing about SD2k. Most people rate it lower because of the giga expectations. If you think it's a giant version of a hyper, I am sure you'll be floored! Speed and airtime bonanza!
Not a fan of I-305? (Or Pantherian I guess..) No matter how many parks I go to I'll never find anything that makes me feel the way that first drop into the notorious gray out turn does.
@@JohnSmith-mk5xm Steel Vengeance is the best coaster at CP. Maverick is my favorite though. Bur you're not wrong. I see so many people telling their friends/kids that Millie is their favorite coaster. And they can be wrong. I won't hold it against them.
@There’s no right and wrong in this subjective hobby. If you prefer sense of speed and setting you’ll like Millennium Force over Steve. Are you a new coaster enthusiast? Between the age of 12-20? If so you may be influenced by enthusiasts who tell you Steve is the best. That’s not how it works. People have different opinions.
El Toro went down 3 spots on my list from 2023. I have it barely in my top 10. X2 is the newest addition to my top 10. Fury 325 cemented itself as my number 1. Steel Vengeance made a power play and moved to 4th place. It did reach 3rd, but after getting finicky with me, I knocked it down 1 spot.
My Top 10 as of 2024: 10. The Beast (I hate PTC trains) 9. Vortex (Kings Island, missed dearly) 8. Rock n Roller Coaster (cool ride but be interesting to see it with the Muppets) 7. Flight of Fear (Kings Island, this used to be my #1) 6. Incredible Hulk (crazy intense ride) 5. TRON Lightcycle/Run (theming is just choice) 4. Orion (first Giga, enjoyed it) 3. Banshee (despite a rough year) 2. Diamondback (Best at Kings Island) 1. Velocicoaster (I knew I would love it, I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do) New credit (and my son’s first): The Great Pumpkin Coaster (he was terrified)
Bro took all the coasters in my top 6 and hit shuffle play, except Steel Vengeance 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Maverick 3. Outlaw Run 4. Twisted Colossus 5. Ghostrider 6. Millennium Force
1. Thank you for not over-ranking Maverick. You described it perfectly. 2. I still think Millennium is elite. I’ve tried to dislike it, and I just don’t feel the criticisms. Speed, airtime, forceful, great setting. It’s just iconic. Top 5 for me! 3. Love the Beast respect! 4. Nitro, Lightning Run, and Goliath are way overrated for me. They were much weaker (Goliath is wayy rougher) than I expected, but I need re-rides on the first two! 5. Your love for RipRideRockIt and Magnum are baffling but kinda admirable.😂 6. RIP OG Lightning Rod 7. I love your top 10! Some are my favorites, and the others are on my bucket list. SteVe reigns as king!
I was getting nervous that my favorite ride X-2 wasn’t going to make the list. I was really surprised it was so high up your list though. It has been receiving a lot of hate over the years.
It is funny how one ride (or one park day) can affect perception. I was so underwhelmed by twisted timbers , I don't know if it would be in my top thirty. I always laugh when I see your ranking of Rip Ride Rocket , I don't hate it like some people do though. And Magnum is my second favorite at Cedar Point, I love to see it ranked so high.
I don’t think that wicked cyclone is 4th best, but I do agree it’s an elite ride and thankful to have this at a mid size Six flags park in New England at my home park
An E&F Miler beating Millennium and Maverick is insane. True underdog story.
According to his own rankings, Prairie Screamer has beaten all Vekoma, Premier Rides, and S&S coasters he's ever ridden. (Obviously there are some rides by at least some of those manufacturers that could beat Prairie Screamer, but he hasn't ridden them yet. He'll probably ride at least one of them this coming year, though.)
Right? I’m also surprised Maverick is lower than most other peoples lists
I actually Have the E&F Miller Credit That Was at Casino Pier Throughout the Second Half of the 2000’s and it pulled negative G Forces of Airtime Plus Wildmouse Style Hairpin Turning Laterals on those tight compact Turns Starjet Truly was a one Of A Kind Golden Gem on the Jersey Boardwalks Before Sandy Hit so I get the hype He Has For the Last Truly outstanding E&F Miller Coaster The Scandia Screamer or Something like that but better than Maverick and Millennium Force I think nooot
If intamin doesnt like it they should do better
I feel like Millenium Force is far better than Maverick
Time Warp at #1 is weird, but I suppose opinions change.
could Dog Fart Coaster be the dark horse of 2025?
Time warp is SO close, but it just can’t beat Flight Deck! It’s truly a masterpiece. Shout out to Paramount Parks and all of the great rides they gave to Canada’s Wonderland!
@@MattMcIrvin my proudest credit
@@CoasterCount it was the trick track double up that did it
My top 10 coasters I’ve ridden (out of 134 credits):
1. Velocicoaster - the perfect mix of intensity, thrills, airtime, and theming. Plus, it ends with my favorite ending to any coaster.
2. Steel Vengeance - Long, smooth, great airtime, and a top tier night ride
3. El Toro - A wooden coaster that has the demented elements of its steel counterparts
4. Iron Gwazi - the king of pacing, just might be too much intensity even for me.
5. Wildcat’s Revenge - A smaller RMC with the punch of Iron Gwazi
6. GOTG Cosmic Rewind: World’s longest indoor coaster and my most-ridden coaster of 2024 during my DCP
7. Space Mountain (WDW): Very strong ejector, top tier theming, and my most nostalgic coaster.
8. Maverick: Crazy launches, snaps, and inversions
9. Mystic Timbers: Relentless pacing and airtime, also very smooth for a woodie. I just wish that shed wasn’t as boring.
10. Millennium Force: I rode this for the first time in 2023, yet I already feel nostalgic towards this. Maybe it’s because I’m an early 2000s kid, so the vibe just hits me, I’m not sure.
Honorable Mentions: Orion, Kingda Ka, and Hagrid’s
I knew Raging Bull was top 50 and I thought I missed it when I was at #15 and sure enough it was 14 lol
Holy hell, Beast in 38th is an incredible jump
@@LydsTherinNotamonthis year is my only time riding The Beast, but my rides were utterly amazing, out of control, and had just the right amount of woodie rumble for my 50 year old self. I totally get why he has it ranked so high and I could even understand someone putting it in their top 5. It's truly a unique experience.
Nice to see Steve at number 1 still. Also here’s my top 10
1. Steel Vengeance
2. Velocicoaster
3. Maverick
4. Storm Chaser
5. Diamondback
6. Orion
7. Lightning Rod
8. Magnum xl 200
9. Mystic Timbers
10. Cosmic Rewind
Coasters that have potential to enter my top 10 next year: Twisted Timbers, Pantherian(aka i305),Rapterra, Time Traveler, Outlaw Run, Raging Bull, Goliath, Maxx Force, Top Thrill 2, Sirens Curse, Iron Gwazi
Millenium Force is getting a glow up during the off season. new lift motor and new controls system. also paint
Top 5: (keep in mind I’ve only been to 7 theme parks)
5- Twisted Cyclone
4- Thunderhead (most underrated coaster of all time)
3- Goliath
2- Velocicoaster
1- Fury
Thunderhead is absolutely underrated. I think it is better than Mystic Timbers because it is much longer and has much more consistent airtime. I have had rides on Mystic Timbers with no airtime, but Thunderhead always has airtime.
Which Goliath?
@@pabushcraft108 Over Georgia. My bad should’ve mentioned that
@D4stroyed Thanks just wanted to make sure I wasn’t thinking of the wrong one
The reason woodies are well represented is because all kiddie coasters are steel
fair point
Anytime I ride Millennium in the front row I’m reminded why it’s one of the best coasters of all time
Eating 20 bugs doesn’t make it one of the best💀
I 100% agree with you on wicked cyclone! It was running so fast last year when I first ride it I had it above steel vengeance but now steel vengeance is ahead again
I went on this year very back row, It was running excellently. I havent ridden Steel Vengeance though, it's like 7 hours away,.
10:23 “if it sticks around, ill see if i can get back on it”
WOMP WOMP WOMP WHOOOOOMP
that aged beautifully
@ Hopefully i can squeeze in a last ride on short notice on this and muppetvision
Great video! I like your ranking of all the coasters! I really enjoyed watching this!
“I want you to put the word out there that we back up”
- Storm Chaser probably
@@Fury325Fan i did stormy, i did
Good list Chris! I was able to get some new credits this year when I went to Six Flags Great America for the first time. What’s ironic is our # 1 and # 2 coasters are the exact same.
My top 50 coasters (out of 118):
1- Eejanaika (Fuji-Q Highland) - Just pure insanity and intesity from start to finish.
2- Toutatis (Parc Astérix) - Great swing launch, really dynamic layout and powerful airtime, especially backwards.
3- Voltron (Europa Park) - Some of the greatest airtime I've experienced, the beyond vertical launch is a real treat and it's forceful throughout. Only con is the rattle, which can vary from very much tolerable to headache inducing. You can also get stapled by the restraints, which lower automatically.
4- Ride to Happiness (Plopsaland de Panne) - Super varied, really strong airtime. The onboard audio is incredible and really elevates the experience. Once again a bit rough and you can get stapled by the automatic restraints.
5- Kondaa (Walibi Belgium) - Great coaster that feels like a mix of Expedition GeForce in the first half and an RMC in the second half. It's a decently intense but a bit tamer than the rides that are above it.
6- Taron (Phantasialand) - Really snappy with a few airtime pops, but it's not as powerful as the coasters in my top 5 and every half does die out by the end.
7- Expedition GeForce (Holiday Park Germany) - Insane airtime almost full throughout. Still smooth after 23 years.
8- Untamed (Walibi Holland) - My first RMC, probably underrated given I only got 2 rides on it, it's insanely well paced and has some really strong pops of airtime.
9- Tonnerre 2 Zeus (Parc Astérix) - Rattly but really intense, best airtime and pacing of any wooden coaster that I've ridden. Also best wooden coaster trains I've been on.
10- [Defunct] Wild Train (Fantasiana) - Really sentimental about this one but it was crazy, it tried to send you into space. Even got a wheel from it 😉.
11- Silver Star (Europa Park)
12- Monster (Walygator Grand Est)
13- Hals-über-Kopf (Tripsdrill)
14- OzIris (Parc Astérix)
15- Black Mamba (Phantasialand)
16- Karacho (Tripsdrill)
17- FLY (Phantasialand)
18- Fenix (Toverland)
19- Wodan Timbur Coaster (Europa Park)

42- Pulsar (Walibi Belgium)
43- Vampire (Walibi Belgium)

So happy to come home from work and see the other half of my most anticipated YT watch of the year! LETSGOOOO!!!
Hopefully it was worth the hype
@AirtimeThrills your content is always worth the hype!
Love the rankings as always. I definitely appreciate the continued love for Raging Bull and Magnum XL-200, two of my all time favorites. Really wished TT2 had went differently so I could hear your thoughts and opinions. I would've loved to see where it ranked on this list! I wasn't the biggest TTD fan but TT2 blew me away!
Lastly, Here's to The Beast! Wow! What a leap forward. And a much deserved one imo. Ran great this year when we visited.
@@vegasstafford9061 The Beast was incredible this year, Ive never felt that way about it after getting off in ANY of the trips to KI compared to this year. Enjoy it while it lasts
1 Ride to Happiness
2 Untamed
3 Zadra
4 Hyperion
5 Icon
6 Schwur des karnen

I LOVE THE RESPECT FOR RAGING BULL
Been looking forward to this one all year and week! 😀 The finale of 2024! 🎉 Your videos, editing style, delivery, etc. are awesome! Here's to 2025!! 🥳
Love to see that my top 100 count for yours is 35/100 now.
I still love Thunderhead more than Mystic Timbers after riding them back to back last year. Love the Beast respect this year.
Here's to another great year of coasters in 2025 🎉
10:09 Aged like milk. Plans were just filed for HRRR’s removal. ☹️
Six Flags, why are you messing with other park’s business?
The best thing about twisted timbers is that you can marathon it if you come to the park at the opening. Because it's in the back of the park, you can get like 10-20 walk on rides in a row to start the day. Storm Chaser is similar in that regard.
Absolutely have done that with both coatsers, but at least for Timbers both days at KD were pretty dead. The first time I rode Timbers we did a 6 ride marathon, didnt get off for 3 of them
@@AirtimeThrills Really nice of the OPS to do that. Must have been hard on your thighs, though.
Always like waiting till both list are uploaded so I can watch them in one go. Great list!
As everyone is doing their top 10s, I thought I'd do my top 5 (as I only have 60 credits lol)
5. GOTG Cosmic Rewind (Epcot) - Got only 1 ride in 2022 and it was amazing. The whole experience of it is just breathtaking and is impossible to not have a massive smile on your face throughout the entire ride. Also has my favourite launch ever.
4. Hagrids Motorbike Adventure (IoA) - The best themed rollercoaster in the world. First waited over 4 hours to ride it in 2019 only 2 months after it opened and it was worth every second of waiting. 2 more rides in 2022 cemented it in my top 5.
3. Mako (Seaworld) - Airtime machine. Got my first ride and was able to marathon this in 2022. The only B&M hyper I've been on but I get why its seen as one of the best.
2. Hyperia (Thorpe Park) - Maybe the best first drop in the world. Falling 230+ feet directly downwards, 80mph, while the track turns 180 degrees beneath you, completely out of your seat the entire time is a feeling like no other. On top of that some of the best airtime and most terrifying elements I've experienced (that outerbank...). Would be my #1 if it wasn't so short.
1. Velocicoaster - The complete package. Speed, airtime, inversions, theming. My first ride (in the back row btw) when I went over the top hat had me holding on to dear life and shouting words I probably shouldn't repeat, which no coaster has ever made me do. My favourite memory of any coaster I've been on. Velocicoaster is truly the king of all coasters imo and my #1 (until I ride an RMC haha).
I love how this is Orlando centric and the UK jumps in there
@@AirtimeThrills I'm from the UK and have only ever been to Orlando for coasters so they make up the majority of my list haha! I'm hoping to either get out to some European parks or go back to Orlando with my family for Epic Universe in the future! 🫶
I feel Ride To Happiness might dethrone Steel Vengeance. I rode both in the same year and Ride To Happiness easily was better.
Love this. Thanks for sharing. Would love to see your top 100 - top parks. Like what parks have 2 or more.
I'm excited i should be going on your #2,#3,#4 for the first time this summer. Although I heard from a certain person that Fury 325 is just a basic coaster you find at any park.

How tf is velocicoaster below hagrid's
@@danielsutter3051 it actually wasn’t before my recent visit. I had more fun on Hagrid’s
imo hagrids is super overrated
@Random_Eebs fair enough. Clearly, I think it’s underrated by enthusiasts. Although I’m a big Harry Potter fan, so that probably contributes.
I love how airtime thrills is real with his rankings and doesn’t change them based on how people may view them.
The dive off the quarry wall is my favorite single element on any coaster I’ve ever ridden.
Great video
In the back row its brilliant

5. Goliath
6. Maverick
7. Millenium Force
8. Gatekeeper

10. X flight
Top 25 for me as of 2024:
25) MAKO - Someone puked on me and I only got one ride so may be higher if I had better experience
24) FURY 325 - This felt like Mako but less airtime hills and more twisty turns
23) MAVERICK - I got to ride this with a stuffed animal I won
22) TWISTED COLOSSUS - This one hurt my butt, otherwise I really like getting basically two rides in one
21) X2 - I like the outside seats a lot cause it’s like I’m being abused. Very sentimental
20) THE BEAST - Basically a wooden mine train and nothing special but during the ride I saw a man piss in the woods which was cool.
19) TIME TRAVELER - My friends tried to disable the magnet so we spin out of control but it didn’t work. Still fun though.
18) DIAMONDBACk - This one also made my butt hurt but the rattle gave me a satisfying tickling euphoric feeling.
17) MAXX FORCE - When the launch went boom it was very scary and cool.
16) WILDCATS REVENGE - This one made me feel like I was going to fall out of my seat!
15) EL TORO - This was my brother’s favorite ride. RIP Charlie. We spread Charlie’s ashes under the rolling thunder hill.
14) THE VOYAGE - I like how long this was. It gave me time to reflect on my life.
13) MILLENNIUM FORCE - Mid, forceless, and overrated.
12) TOUTATIS - My only coaster I rode in France cause everything else was closed. I love the French.
11) PHANTOMS REVENGE - The second drop dropped so low, I thought I was going to die.
10) PANTHEON - This one had good twists and turns and cool elements.
9) VELOCICOASTER - Like Pantheon but this one has dinosaurs 🦕 🦖!!!!
8) ARIEFORCE ONE - I got to do this 184 times in one day!
7) IRON GWAZI - Like ArieForce One but on steroids
6) OUTLAW RUN - Like Iron Gwazi but on cocaine and I prefer cocaine more than steroids.
5) OG MEAN STREAK - This one beat me up more than my old dad.
4) STEEL VENGEANCE - I really enjoy the airtime
3) KINGDA KA - 😞
2) TOP THRILL 2 - It broke down and closed when I was on it. They had to evacuate me off the top hat. That was cool.
1) PANTHERIAN - I blacked out after the first turn and died. They revived me in the hospital and it will always be my favorite
@@JohnSmith-mk5xm mean streak what the heck
Completely agree with raging bull and magnum
HONEY, CANCEL THE PLANS. AIRTIME THRILLS JUST POSTED
Didn’t expect to see Beast on here

Great list! Always some surprises as to be expected... My list has no shortage of them either.
I rode 40 new coasters this year, and 16 of them made it to the top 50. I did not get any rerides, so there were no jumps/falls. Out of 163 credits, here is my top 50:

1. Steel Vengeance
Instead of giving my opinions for each, feel free to ask me questions instead! I will say, Steel Vengeance did not blow me away when I first rode it like some rides, but now I see why people say it's number 1. It's hard to beat just how long and complete of a ride it is. It always feels like it's worth the wait, which is hard to say about many coasters.
Have u ridden canibal
We got the same top 3 so thats something
@@AirtimeThrills That's cool! They're definitely really good
@@Karj30Rl I haven't. I'd love to though, it looks great
After riding 117 new to me coasters this year, my top 5, 10, 15, 20, 50, and 100 have changed pretty drastically. (I had previously ridden 25 coasters across 3 parks)
I love your list, especially your top 2. Of the slightly over 160 coasters I've ridden, my 2nd favourite is Fury 325 and my favourite is Steel Vengeance, just like you're top two. But I only got 10 rides on SteVe, in late May 2018 whereas I got 97 on Fury 325, in three days and 4 hours of a 4th day in mid April 2023 and it's the coaster I've ridden the most after Coaster at Playland in Vancouver in 2017 alone.
Wow, The Beast did really move way up. But, Sophie still thinks you are wrong on it’s ranking 😊
Funny enough I put it super high based on my day ride. She never got that day ride
THE BEAST GETTING LOVE? Massive W
Love to see The Beast rise so much, one of my favorites at my home park. Here's my top 10:
1. Velocicoaster- a phenominal set of elements sequenced in the perfect order with excellent theming.
2. The Voyage- My rides in the back row during the summer were simply incredible, haven't experienced this trimless, would probably be my new #1.
3. Iron Gwazi- A wonderfully brutal RMC. Edges out Aire due to delivering an excellent night ride
4. Aireforce One- The most well-rounded RMC in my opinion, delivering much more positives than the others.
5. Fury325- The insane low to the ground elements are as good as they sound.
6. Orion- The strangest choice in my top 10, Orion retains its speed despite its large elements, making each of them extremely powerful especially during the right weather conditions. Also provides a great night ride due to its lighting package. Still worse than Fury overall though due to its shorter length. Rainy night rides on this thing are insane.
7. Steel Vengeance- Gets points for being the longest RMC and providing great airtime and inversions, though it ranks lower than gwazi and aire due to weaker pacing and a less well rounded layout.
8. Intimidator 305- Insane intensity complimented by amazing airtime moments. Is ranked lower than other gigas due to worse restraints
9. Top Thrill 2- Brutal intensity, launches, and airtime off the top hat. I hope others get to ride it soon.
10. Levithan- A great giga with excellent speed and elements, though it lacks an X factor that other gigas have. No disrespect towards it though, it's still a top tier ride.
Six flags removed single rider lines and now I'm sad
figures
Sadly I was without a coaster ride in 2024 but here is my top 24 (out of admittedly a very small pool of options that I've ridden). Hopefully next year will be the year I finally make it over to San Anton to SF Fiesta Texas.
1 Velocicoaster tied with Iron Gwazi
1 Iron Gwazi tied with Velocicoaster
2 Cosmic Rewind best dark ride coaster
3 Pipeline the new car design is legit
4 Hagrids two coasters in one with the different riding positions
5 Manta best flying
6 Alpengeist best suspension
7 Superman Ultimate Flight SFOG bumped down by Manta
8 Mako best hyper
9 The Mummy bumped down the rankings by Cosmic Rewind but still a great coaster
10 Griffon best dive
11 Kumba still great after 30 years
12 The Incredible Hulk how is Kumba still as smooth as the Hulk when Hulk has been retracked?
13 Rip Ride Rocket not as rough as people claim it is.
14 Cheetah Hunt a solid coaster just too many good ones above it
15 Montu overrated suspension, I have no idea why so many rate this higher than Alpengeist...
16 The Big Bad Wolf, god how I miss this coaster
17 Gringots great theming saves it from being lower
18 Goliath SFOG hypers aren't my thing
19 Apollo's Chariot hypers really really aren't my thing
20 The Georgia Scorcher comfortable and good for a stand up, hope they give it pipeline trains some day
21 Batman the Ride SFOG forces are a bit too much for me and the first drop is pittifully short
22 Loch Ness Monster sorry Nessy but the competition has gotten really fierce
23 Verbolten not as good as the Wolf was
"and I'll see if it can both toss me out of my seat, crush me back into it, and give me a long ride full of elite forces, while I rock out to Kanye West." could be the best combination ever!!
annnnd I'll never get to ride it again of course
Rode Storm Chaser 8 times. I'v never felt so high before.
Keep in mind I only have like 40 credits but my top 10 are:
1. Intimidator 305
2. Twisted Timbers
3. Pantheon
4. Alpengeist
5. Apollo's Chariot
6. Dominator
7. Griffon
8. Racer 75
9. Flight of Fear
10. Tempesto
All of my credits are from like 3 parks so just keep that in mind as well. Those parks are Kings Dominion, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, and SeaWorld San Diego if you're curious.
As a Virginia native I love this list!
@@shitpostWJ poor seaworld couldnt break the list
3:37 this is a crime
I sware, his out of his mind.
Maverick waaaaaay to low same with outlaw run
Arrest me
If you marathon Lightning Run, you might never get bored. You also might never walk again
I'm ok with that
The video we don’t deserve but the video we needed
Also, I wish there were enough hot days to ride every coaster on the list
We need more hot days in this crazy world
Great list. Love the reference to the "Buckeye State". Go Bucks!

Thanks for including my Fav B&M's from Canada's Wonderland, I'm gonna ride them all again in 2025!!
I found it surprising that The Beast is that high, it's clear that the night rides and retrack improves this experience. Prairie Screamer as well, E&F Miler has gone nuts with this one, but I'm baffled that E&F didn't sell more of these.
Prairie GOATer is finally getting the recognition it deserves. Also, thank you Airtime Clause for providing us with an amazing Christmas present
I got my first ride on Phoenix this year, back row, and it was wild! I was not expecting to be out of my seat for over half the ride
Everything just hit perfect this year
@@AirtimeThrills Knoebels came out a big winner this year. Phoenix jumped up the list, and Flying Turns got _on_ the list. There are a lot of parks in the current Six Flags chain that don't have 2+ coasters in your top 100!

Honestly next year, I’ll love to see how tall your top 50 coasters are, number of 50 ft, 100 ft, 200 ft etc
That'd be a fun metric to add
Someone may have already commented this, but I noticed in your list at the beginning you have Sweden at two coasters in your top 50 but you list three from Sweden (Balder, Helix, Wildfire) during the video.
You're right, I don't know exactly what happened there
I’ve been waiting for this one…
No way are any of those rides better than Iron Gwazi. That thing always leaves you wanting MORE.
I 100% agree with the Rip Ride Rocket take, only problem is when I went a week ago I couldn’t choose Kanye to listen to🤣
I heard they took Kanye off. And now the whole ride's gonna get torn down so....oh well
Beast over maverick, FINALLY LOVE YOU ❤❤❤
Maverick is criminally underrated in this video…
As usual
I live in Orlando and have never really gotten a great ride on Rip Ride Rocket...until this past Saturday. 3rd row on the right side and I got crazy good airtime. Not sure if I will get to experience it again, but I now get where you're coming from
3rd row huh...I rode it a bunch in 2012 and loved it but I dont remember details. 2021 I just got 1 ride in the back and that seemed like the magic row
I know I’m going to see Ripride Rockit and I’m still unprepared
You should do top 10 launched coasters as your next video
I'm going to Universal in a little over a month and I am super stoked to ride VelociCoaster!!!
the fact an e&f miler can be in the top 50 is actually just crazy
Perfect list
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit being so high on the list should be against the law lol
You gotta ride the Mexican Superman. Easily Morgan’s best, by a very very wide margin.
Yeah true, I wasnt thinking of that when I declared Steel Eel their best ground up coaster
You should rank your top 100 but you rank it with how themed they are
That'd be interesting, maybe not all 100 but something similar
10:11 Well it seems you wish has been answered, demolition permits have been filed for its removal in the next year or so.
I will get back on it though, its not leaving til Sep
Who wants to tell him Kanye was taken out of Rip Ride Rockit?
Who also wants to tell him the rides closing permanently.
I really hope that Great Adventure smooths out El Toro I really want to marathon it agian!
Same. Get some rmc ibox on that thing
@@AirtimeThrills I know lol
I might be remembering it wrong, but I’ve only ridden diamondback one day and I got 3 rides on it 2 at night and 1 mid-day and it was not even the slightest bit rough.
This year? It was noticeably worse for me
@ I got my rides on it fall of last year
Millenium Force kind of makes me sad because it opened the same year as Superman but just loses in so many ways.
I am so hyped as to how many from Japan will enter this 1-50 window next year! Rooting for your best days here!
I am confident Eejanaika and Hakugei will be in my top 50. maybe Takabisha, Fujiyama maybe a long shot, maybe Flying Dinosaur, Thunder Dolphin, heck maybe even SD2k, a lot of contenders
@@AirtimeThrillswhat parks are you visiting
@@Str8trackhaters all the major ones plus some of the smaller ones but not all of them. Disney universal tobu fuji nagashima tokyo dome yomiuriland and so on
@@AirtimeThrills It's crazy, the possibilities. Do try out Pyrenees at Shima Spain Mura in Ise peninsula. By far the best B&M invert.
One thing about SD2k. Most people rate it lower because of the giga expectations. If you think it's a giant version of a hyper, I am sure you'll be floored! Speed and airtime bonanza!
10:32 they got rid of Kanye :(
Boooo 👎
They got rid of...everything
Not a fan of I-305? (Or Pantherian I guess..) No matter how many parks I go to I'll never find anything that makes me feel the way that first drop into the notorious gray out turn does.
I dont love it but its still solidly a top 100 coaster (on Mondays video)
Maverick at 45?? And below Millennium Force? That’s a hot take..
It's a consistent take coming from him. I wanna say his main issue with Maverick is the restraints.
@@MarsJenkar if he thinks they're bad now, the original ones were 3 times as bad.
Millennium Force is considered by many the best coaster at Cedar Point, so not a hot take. Not like he put Rougarou over Maverick
@@JohnSmith-mk5xm Steel Vengeance is the best coaster at CP. Maverick is my favorite though. Bur you're not wrong. I see so many people telling their friends/kids that Millie is their favorite coaster. And they can be wrong. I won't hold it against them.
@There’s no right and wrong in this subjective hobby. If you prefer sense of speed and setting you’ll like Millennium Force over Steve. Are you a new coaster enthusiast? Between the age of 12-20? If so you may be influenced by enthusiasts who tell you Steve is the best. That’s not how it works. People have different opinions.
El Toro went down 3 spots on my list from 2023. I have it barely in my top 10. X2 is the newest addition to my top 10. Fury 325 cemented itself as my number 1. Steel Vengeance made a power play and moved to 4th place. It did reach 3rd, but after getting finicky with me, I knocked it down 1 spot.
My Top 10 as of 2024:
10. The Beast (I hate PTC trains)
9. Vortex (Kings Island, missed dearly)
8. Rock n Roller Coaster (cool ride but be interesting to see it with the Muppets)
7. Flight of Fear (Kings Island, this used to be my #1)
6. Incredible Hulk (crazy intense ride)
5. TRON Lightcycle/Run (theming is just choice)
4. Orion (first Giga, enjoyed it)
3. Banshee (despite a rough year)
2. Diamondback (Best at Kings Island)
1. Velocicoaster (I knew I would love it, I didn’t expect to love it as much as I do)
New credit (and my son’s first):
The Great Pumpkin Coaster (he was terrified)
Bro took all the coasters in my top 6 and hit shuffle play, except Steel Vengeance
1. Steel Vengeance
2. Maverick
3. Outlaw Run
4. Twisted Colossus
5. Ghostrider
6. Millennium Force
Yeeeesssss! One of my top 3 most anticipated top 25-50’s😅
“I could ride Magnum all day. It’s not rough, it’s just jerky.” 😂😂😂
He speaking facts
Zero lies detected.
jerky = large individual jolts at some track transitions
rough = constant shaking so you can’t even focus on the layout
He's right
Guys, I’m not disagreeing with him. It’s an innuendo.
Wildcat’s revenge is my number one because of that first half, and that second half hits me hard with the corkscrews.
Nitro deserves that’s spot 👍
Hey Chris, why did you rank Maverick below Millennium Force and Joker if you thought the latter two had weak airtime?
I just really dislike those restraints
1. Thank you for not over-ranking Maverick. You described it perfectly.
2. I still think Millennium is elite. I’ve tried to dislike it, and I just don’t feel the criticisms. Speed, airtime, forceful, great setting. It’s just iconic. Top 5 for me!
3. Love the Beast respect!
4. Nitro, Lightning Run, and Goliath are way overrated for me. They were much weaker (Goliath is wayy rougher) than I expected, but I need re-rides on the first two!
5. Your love for RipRideRockIt and Magnum are baffling but kinda admirable.😂
6. RIP OG Lightning Rod
7. I love your top 10! Some are my favorites, and the others are on my bucket list. SteVe reigns as king!
Goliath is definitely on the rough side, but it never bothered me that much. Maybe if i had a headache going in thats where it sucks
I was getting nervous that my favorite ride X-2 wasn’t going to make the list. I was really surprised it was so high up your list though. It has been receiving a lot of hate over the years.
I rode it this year and thought it was as nuts as ever
I get so excited when I see you post, you’re one of my favorite content creators on here 🙂↔️ now let me watch the video and judge your ranking lmao
Happy judging
It is funny how one ride (or one park day) can affect perception. I was so underwhelmed by twisted timbers , I don't know if it would be in my top thirty. I always laugh when I see your ranking of Rip Ride Rocket , I don't hate it like some people do though. And Magnum is my second favorite at Cedar Point, I love to see it ranked so high.
HRRR and Magnum definitely draw "mixed" reactions to the extreme
I don’t think that wicked cyclone is 4th best, but I do agree it’s an elite ride and thankful to have this at a mid size Six flags park in New England at my home park
I’m so happy to see Wicked Cyclone so far up.
