This came on my TV while I was pooping in the bathroom and then I suddenly heard my channel name!
Thank you for using my videos and for the shoutout, you are too kind :)
Channel goals, hearing your channel getting shouted out while on the john
Weird
Weird, yet coincidental!
Bruh😂💀
This is great lol!
Six Flags Great America would be a great park for this series.
Yes Vipers double down!
Please!!! My home park
@@Camerenyoo9 same
Yes just Yes
@@rmc_fan same
I was gonna suggest Canada’s Wonderland for this series but I soon realized it would just be airtime hills and a vertical loop
Don't forget the drop on the game ride
@@ZontarDow good call
And a trim!
What about the drop on Yukon Striker?
I can't be the only one who recently found his channel and has just been binging non-stop lol
I’m so glad to call SDC my home park 🥰 I always ride every coaster multiple times when I go
I totally agree about that switchback hill on time traveler. It’s so underrated! It’s an insane ejector moment. What a Yonking Nice video!
Agree with the 1. And 2.! That first drop last row and that launch on powder keg. Helps that powder keg has those amazing restraints that allow you to get great floater.
I’m really interested in coaster design so I love these element vids. Plz do more
I was actully also considering doring Lista of best elements in a park! Great video!
Airtime thrills, you are my farovite enthusiast. I live in a world of gp, and your uploads make my day
Same I don’t know any enthusiasts irl outside my local parks. Everyone of the kids at school and my family and very few friends from school are GP
Everyone calls me dumb for liking roller coasters as much as I do, they don’t realize they’re the dumb ones for missing out of a world of awesome
Time Traveler’s station drop is my second favorite drop on a coaster currently behind X2’s first drop.
Thanks for the tip about row 7&8 on TT in a previous video. Rode it back in March was blown away by the drop! The double barrel on OR is pretty crazy considering you are hauling through the layout and then crawl through that part.
Time Traveler’s first drop was manufactured by a factory in Yonkers.
thanks for the dinner reminder
Not for me, typically it’s Wheel of Fortune.
I tell you what. Going down TT's first drop going sideways is one of the most unusual experiences I've ever had on a coaster. It's so great!
Thats such a cool video idea. Everyone ranks coasters in a park, but individual elements. Kinda makes me wanna do something like this on my home park. ^^
For me Time Traveler is something else. Like you said, your body cannot prepare for it. Like doing spins in an airplane for the first time, the ground spins so fast your mind can barely comprehend what's happening, I get that same feeling on time traveler, and love it!
Yep. Saw that TT first drop as your 1 from the title of the video. The Powder Keg launch was so awesome. Going again in June!
I wanna be "yonked" over that drop! 😁
3rd time He’s said it
You have been busy! I was expecting magic mountain 90s next. Thanks for all the content though!
Im posting those videos on thursdays, and my usual random stuff on mondays. Gotta give myself time to finish the last 2 episodes
Thursday is a Thursday
I was kinda confused on how you were gonna rank elements, but you nailed it.
I went to the last midnight madness yesterday and clenched the back row on the last train before Time Traveler closed for the fireworks, an amazing experience dropping out of the station while looking sideways towards all the lights in the trees at the Time Traveler entrance. Everything in this park gives incredible nightrides.
When I was 13, down by Silver Dollar City, I remember being able to see Wildfire’s drop from the condos I was staying at. It was a really cool thing to be able to see , and I had fun riding it too
This and your by the numbers/prime ride time series are probably your best ideas yet. I would love to see an element ranking (maybe even more than 15) for Cedar Point, Kings Island, Carowinds, Kings Dominion, SFGA, SFMM, Hershey Park, Dollywood....
Magic Mountain's has been done. I was going to suggest it and decided to see if he already did it first.
@@bandmfanboy Oh wow, I thought this was the first of the series.
Row 7 TT drop is insane, but idk if I’d put it number 1. The launch on Powder Keg definitely isn’t better than any of the elements on ORun to me, but I understand having it that high. Personally my favorite element at SDC is the TT drop row 7, ORun drop back row, or the ORun twisted hill. Love all those elements. Also love the two ejectors hills and the hills on Fire In The Hole (honestly my favorite airtime moments in the park simply by how it caught me so off guard lol)
Outlaw Run running square wheels? I've never found it rough overall by any means. Sure it has some patches, but wow that's harsh. I would put OR's wave turn higher due to its sustained air throughout, but I agree Time Traveler's drop out of the station is the best element of any coaster at the park. I also agree OR's best element is the first drop
When i rode it last, it was bumpy the whole way thru. Not painful just irritating
SDC might send the trains to the Island of Misfit Toys.
3:21 there is also one on Steve (not the outer bank, it’s after the double up which is after the drop off the mid course)
The headchop drop?
Hey Hey ! Great video. We live in the OKC area also but are season pass holders for SDC and consider Branson our second home.
This was a great video idea! could we be seeing more editions of this?
like Dollywood, CP, or Carowinds? :)
When i get back to some of these parks, I'll ride with the elements in mind
Notification squad! Good idea love to see more of this concept.
I was on the inaugural crew for Time Traveler. With how grouping needed to be down stairs, management wanted us to assign rows without requests. After riding it during testing, I knew the back car was something special and knew fellow enthusiasts would want to ride in the back so I talked management into letting guests ask for rows and its been around ever since
thank you for your great service
not all heroes wear capes
I'm super excited to visit SDC this year, the top 3 coasters all look amazing
If you’re there for two days, I’d recommend doing the Marvel Cave tour (it’s free and it leaves from inside the main gift shop building). But if you’re there for just one day I’d say skip it and concentrate on the rides and the park atmosphere.
@@StamfordBridge does the cave tour involve Spider-Man?
@@DoswarePictures No, but it’s still better than the DC Cave tour.
@@StamfordBridge but it’s the Batcave!
@@DoswarePictures 🤔
i agree with your top 5, maybe just in a different order. But it's hard to deny Time Traveler's first drop in the back car from the top spot. There's nothing like it!
Time Traveler was my first coaster of 2021. I rode it in the back. Was a great way to begin the year. I would put the double Helix on Thunderation higher. Also I love Outlaw Run way more than time Traveler. But I put that up more to personal taste.
There’s a silver dollar city 95 foot tall loop 95 minutes compilation. Park. Pride. Seriously, insane park-enthusiast interaction/relationship. Ting ting ting up in my rankings
Love the list. Awesome having a list for one of my home parks pop up. The time traveler first drop is amazing. For me the added anxiety I feel really helps it out too. Just watching other people disappear into oblivion and not having the lift hill to psyche yourself up and prepare does alt for me. Only thing I really would differ on is the powder keg first hill after the launch. I've had rises in the back on that thing where the air time is just ridiculous. It feels more intense than a guga first drop to me, despite being shorter. Idk. Maybe I'm crazy. But the more I ride powder keg the more I like it. I remeber buzz saw falls opening as a kid, and when it got changed to powder keg I didn't know what to think. The first year's I rode it I thought it was average. And most people would say it's average. But honestly I have more fun on it than I do outlaw run. And that's not a knock on outlaw run, I just really love that silly cobbled together layout.
I knew Time Traveler’s drop would be #1
YESSSS THAT DROP IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY
I love twisted cutback hills. They look cool offride and they ride well. I especially like them when the middle section has a much higher elevation than the rest of the element.
I went to silver dollar city last week at the time I am writing this. Was able to get on everything but wildfire and powder keg because wildfire was down for the day and when I was in line for powder keg someone dropped their phone and went to get it. time traveler was awesome I got to ride in every row and loved it. thunderation was fun but kind of rough when i went but still one of the great mine train coaster. I was able to get one outlaw run once even Tho there was a 5-minute wait. I wanted to get on time traveler again. But that first drop and barrel roll finale was awesome. but the loop, first drop, the second launch, and the switch back hill were so great on time traveler. I could do that ride all day. and I got on fire in the hole twice because it was it's last year and it had no wait and I'm really sad to see it go but I can't wait to see what it becomes! so yeah go to silver dollar city
I’m ready for of the history of Six Flags Magic Mountain part 3 today
Just a heads up coming from your q&a make sure to not forget to make the list of ranking your favorite conversions I'm really looking forward to it if you are going to make it.
Silver Dollar City is a bucket list park for me. Maybe I'll wait for them to iBox Outlaw Run though...
Nah that would make it ruin its intensity
@@tismejaytee i think the forces stand on their own, it can do without the constant bouncing
@@AirtimeThrills Eh, I personally like it. But everyone’s different I guess
While you can't plan for it, riding outlaw run in the rain is great. It seems to run smoother than dry (though not as smooth as the ibox rides) and faster. The rain also hits your face making it hard to keep your eyes open adding to the experience.
Honestly one of the most underrated parks in the US
I Hate When People Say Stuff Like That Its Not Underrated
Great video; sounds like a park I have to visit.
My favourite element in the park is that heavenly cinnamon bread
You should do this with cedar point that would be amazing!
I also really like the section of track on podwerkeg right before the lift hill where the train is hauling and turning quite agressively with no track banking.
Good point, i always wonder why they didnt throw in some banking there. Really testing those side friction wheels
That first drop on Wildfire probably surprised me the most of any coaster I’ve been on!
I’m actually in the middle of a trip here, right now. My first ride was time traveler, and I got row 7, it is definitely the best element in the park, and it’s not even close.
Time Traveler's roll is straight enough for one to argue it is a zero g roll, but curved enough for one to argue it is a corkscrew, so it's a corked roll.
Maybe we could see this series for Kings Island or Cedar Point?
I was thinking that too
Next time i go there and ride everything ill take notes on the elements
@@AirtimeThrills I could see Cedar Point be interesting with Magnum’s finale and SteVe’s off-axis airtime hill
SDC is my home Park, and I’m proud to say that!
I think you could do one for Alton towers, but you might need some help from someone who has been if you havent. Keep up the great work
Yeah id definitely need to get there first
@@AirtimeThrills I would love to see you make some kind of video were you predict your top 10 coasters or so in the UK?
Silver Dollar City is my favorite park and I visit each year... usually in the fall because it's gorgeous. I always tell my daughter if I win the lottery I'm going to buy Powder Keg and have them put it in my backyard lol. It may not be the fastest, or the tallest, or the most intense... but it's just an all-around fun coaster with great Air Time elements!
Thats funny, i used to dream of winning the lotto and buying an el toro clone
@@AirtimeThrills see.. this just shows that we have our priorities straight. Unfortunately because of this we will never win the lottery lol.
im going for the first time this weekend I cant wait to ride time traveler
I’m calling it, this video is gonna be majority out law run
Just went to Silver Dollar City a couple of weeks ago for the first time. 100% agree the best element is the back seat drop of Time Traveler.
I would like a by the numbers for SDC and Dollywood. I am curious what the comparisons would be between their top coasters.
Combining those parks would be a pretty good idea
Love your channel!
Great video, I thought Magic Mountain was your home park?
Man finally a video
Have you done a night ride on Outlaw Run? I don’t think I’ve ever experienced such an insane scare before. 10/10
Yeah actually my first trip there i got a couple night rides
I did Time traveler in the dark in the cold around Christmas and wow
If you experienced the spike on Powder Keg, would you call that an element and if so do you think it would be on the list?
Sure and it would be #1
I didn't realize how crazy Silver Dollar City was with its rides.
Loooool i am so here for these lists to become way too specific
More quality content from Airtime Thrills!
This is nice, great job
Please do this for other parks!!!
Knott’s, Magic Mountain, and Kings Island seem like good candidates for this.
Magic Mountain i did something similar where i took all the coasters, picked their best element, and ranked them that way. Knotts is definitely one i can do in this format tho
WOOHOOO!! Discord gang!!!
Discordd Gangggg
Discord gang discord gang!
I can't agree more on numbers 1 and 2, they are my favorite as well. I'm a sucker for zero G rolls, so I'd have Time Traveler's a little higher & the helix on Thunderation has to be on the list.
Maybe i did underrate the zero g roll on TT, but all of the elements ahead of it are also awesome so maybe not
YONK HAS RETURNED!
Outlaw Run might be my favorite coaster especially at night but I was in extreme pain on my leg after riding it 2-3 times in a row my last time there. More pain than T3. It's gotten a bit rough.
Frontier city is my home park to though I do take yearly trips to Branson and silver dollar city and rarely go to frontier city lol
With SDC and DW being owned by the same company I think it depends on LRs uptime compared to before retrack if OR gets the same treatment. From what i've seen thus far it does still have downtime, mostly from that launch. Wood moves a lot more than steel, it causes the launch to misalign or just fail to engage. What it really needs is a lift hill. I know that takes away of the concept but it is what causes most of the downtime.
I personally think the final barrell roll on Outlaw Run is what keeps me from really enjoying the ride. I find the restraints to be really painful as you go through the last slow barrell roll. I hope not all RMCs are like this, this is the only one I've rode so far. I am excited for Steel Vengancethis summer, but I think it may hurt my legs too much. Either way I am very excited, and it will be great.
I heard that RMC restraints are a problem for taller people, and it also gets worse for larger RMCs.
Can you please do ranking all the stand up coasters you have ridden.
Do you think that They will Put Ibox track on Outlaw run?
I do, within the next few years I bet
Hey what about one of these for lagoon
Wait you live Oklahoma now? that has to be the case if Frontier City is you're home park right?
All of these elements are so Underrated! Except for some.
wanna see one of these on magic mountain just to see how high the tatsu pretzel loop is
Do top 15 park benches next!
#1 - any bench that doesnt give my ass a splinter
It doesn't exactly count as an element but I've always loved the track elevator from the station to launch track on Powderkeg
I was hoping you would mention the 95 foot tall loop
Have you gotten a night ride on Outlaw Run? I'd say it can definately throw into the ring for the claim of being the best drop in the world just because of the abyss from the lack of lighting. Also Marvel Cave isn't talked about enough on coaster channels, of theme park shows I've done (not that that's a lot, I'm generally "go go go" in terms of riding coasters and tend to skip shows. But natural wonders certainly fascinate me. And yes it counts as a show because of everything involved in it), Marvel Cave easily takes the #1 spot for shows.
I cant wait to go this june (week after WHN) are you going this year?
Nope not this year
Went here for an ACE event and even if it rained half the day and powder keg wasn’t open till like mid afternoon I still loved the park.
Also, PLEASE get a night ride on Outlaw Run, trust me you will not be disappointed
I actually got a couple night rides on OR on my first trip there. Same with TT
@@AirtimeThrills Nice, I got both when I was there and man SDC has some insane night rides
Now that you mention Silver Dollar City, maybe SDC coasters by the numbers?
Ill get there. Been doing the bigger parks so far
You should do six flags great America
You should do this for kings island
I heard from a ride op at Outlaw Run that it could be getting the LRod treatment so...
I would be surprised if it didnt
Facing straight down on the first drop of time traveler on the 3rd cart is also insane anything other than that and the last rows isn’t nearly as good though especially when going down backwards
Time Traveler looks awesome, but I think Ride to Happiness will outdo it as the better extreme spinner. It has some elements more reminiscent of an Intamin launcher, a jojo roll, some extreme airtime moments, and this is all while spinning. It looks awesome minus the name
What is a Jojo roll?
@@DoswarePictures it’s a very slow in-line twist immediately out of the station. Copperhead Strike and Hydra the Revenge have them. They’re ultimate hang time moments
@@starryagent9936 what would a twist *into* a station be? A Dio Roll?
@@DoswarePictures SPOILER WARNING!
Kärnan's heartline roll (probably the closest thing to a twist into a station that I am aware of) does not have a special name AFAIK.
They put me in row 8 for time traveler on my very first ride and I could not prepare for that first drop.
If Time Traveler's first drop isn't #1 idk what should be 😭😭😂
I would call the cobra role on wildfire number one
YONKS! Ladies and gentlemen, we have a YONKS sighting! :)
Magic mountain isn’t your home park anymore?
Nope...Frontier city
The 95 foot tall loop!
Off-topic but I finally rode Skyrush for the first time and I’m sorry Chris but I enjoyed the ride. I’m sorry I let you down
