RMC is truly transforming the industry. I don't think any company has had such fast success since B&M. I've only ridden Lightning Rod and Iron Gwazi and they are mind blowing coasters. Any park with a RMC is on the right path.
Rollercoaster David ranked all the RMCs in Feb 2021. A few new RMCs have been added since then, but it's interesting to compare lists. Some line up and quite a few are perceived totally different, but everyone has their unique take on a ride. Very happy Taylor put out this video though. Been waiting a long time for this!
I love that whoever edited this made sure to keep each theme with their respective coasters! Great work, Taylor and Sarah! Loved the video like all of them!
@@DBI2000 not yet, unfortunately. Plan on doing it within the next year or two. Right now my only RMC credits are Twisted Timbers, Twisted Colossus, and WWFOC. All amazing, but TT takes the cake for sure, it’s my #1 rn
Jersey Devil is so underrated. I’ve ridden it nearly 600 times as of my last visit. It has been flying lately. Some of the operators have even said it’s running “abnormally fast” this season especially
@@hammermk4001 It is. It is far from the “worst” RMC. When Flight of Courage opened, people were praising it like JD should’ve been despite being the same ride. Enthusiasts still complain about it despite the improvements. I prefer riding JD much more over El Toro when I go to Great Adventure
@@hammermk4001 it is so underrated anyone who says it’s not must’ve only ridden it in 2021 and not in the past 2 years cause now it’s absolutely flying
i’m from hong kong but since there aren’t many roller coasters there, i used to go to nagashima a few times a year to ride hakugei and it’s great to see it getting some love!! it’ll always be my fav and i think it’s just the right amount of intensity
of course there is steel dragon there too. i once was fortunate enough to ride the longest roller coaster in the world 50 times combined in two days, running on one train. best weekend of my life!
Rode Hakugei yesterday and couldn't agree more! As my first ever RMC, I was blown AWAY by just how butter-smooth a converted wooden coaster could be going through inversions with only lap bars! I'm so excited to go again!
I love these manufacturer ranking videos! Especially as more time passes between all of the new additions. I’d love to see you (and Sarah!) rank the other major manufacturers like B&M, Intamin, and Gerstlauer
There's so many intamins I don't know how you'd rank them all! And they are all pretty great from what I've experienced. If you did B&M then please include some of the defunct ones like dueling dragons and the other "old school" 90s b&ms that have more force to them. I find I love the Gs on old school B&Ms like nothing else. My first roller coaster was Kraken in sea world Orlando before they went floorless.
My first ever ride on an RMC is Iron Gwazi, it is absolutely insane how Alan designed it to be as crazy. If I could describe it in one word I would call it a Lunatic, it’s that crazy. Looking forward to experiencing more RMCs in the future as all the other ones look insane.
iron gwazi is my sole rmc and i agree, it's so beyond anything else ive ever ridden in terms of forces and pacing! there's a reason rmc took the coaster enthusiast community by storm (chaser)
Same, I rode iron gwazi a week ago and I seriously couldn't believe how violent the elements are. It doesn't stop trying to chuck you all over the place until the end.
I'm always pleasantly surprised when you rank Outlaw Run higher than so many of the other newer and bigger RMC's out there. SDC is my home park so I totally get why you love the night rides. Each year it gets harder to decide which one I like more; Outlaw Run or Time Traveler? Also, can't wait to see Sarah's reaction to SDC! Hopefully soon!?
I agree me and my family recently went to silver dollar city during our Branson trip and we had so much fun at silver dollar city and outlaw run was so insane it was so fun same with time traveler
@@Zatoka. oh absolutely. I thought X2 was extremely rough and unenjoyable, and Twisted Colossus left me speechless. While I did get extremely lucky with the dueling (I rode in June of 2018), the only time I did not duel I was still blown away by the airtime and other forces on the ride.
@@Zatoka. X2 is an amazing ride also, but it's a ride that I rarely ride, because of its popularity, but I'm currently trying to ride it more often, because I don't hate it, it's an amazing rollercoaster, the problem is that the line gets too long and it's not worth waiting an hour or two for it, when there are other rides to choose from that have lower wait times. But that's just me, if you love it great, it's still a fantastic ride.
Great list! Personally for me it’s definitely Zadra. Laterals and insane pacing are my absolute favorite, and the airtime it has is still great, while not being overdone like some of the other rmc’s
Living just 20 mins from ArieForce One and now having season passes, I don't understand how the 'quad-down' is too much for you Taylor. Having ridden Twisted Timbers just a month ago, I find that coaster to be way too much for me at the end with all of the ejector hills. ArieForce One's ending feels like an exclamation mark on perfection. I think you may change your tune the next time you ride it, and Arie will move up even further on this list. (Night rides especially!!!)
I haven't ridden many coasters but my experience with Jersey Devil was top notch. I love what RMC does and am currently making a coaster bucket list filled with RMC features lol
Iron Gwazi is the only coaster that has painful restraints but I kept riding. I rode 3x in a row (6x total) and had bruises on my shins the next day, but it was well worth. It's the best coaster I've ever ridden.
My top 1 is Lightning Rod and it always will be, I got just one ride on it in the 11th row in 2019 and that one ride was enough, I rode Storm Chaser 5 times last year and it’s my number 2, but as amazing as Storm Chaser is it only cemented how much better Lightning Rod is than any other roller coaster. That short experience I would say is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life, it’s hard to except that it’s apparently fallen off, but I feel like even if I did ride it again and I didn’t like it as much, that it wouldn’t change how I feel just because that first ride was so life changing. Update: I’ve just recently visited Kings Dominion and I’ve got a new top 1, Intimidator 305 is so good I couldn’t put it anywhere else, I couldn’t possibly keep my word of Lightning Rod always being my top 1 after that, I got only one ride on it and I got 8 rides on Intimidator 305! I went three time back to back, took a break to eat, then went another 5 times back to back, one of which was a front row ride at sunset and that is now what I consider to be the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life! I knew Intimidator 305 was gonna be in my top 10 if I rode it, but I never foresaw it being my top 1 over Lightning Rod.
I hope I get to ride Lightning Rod one day! I just recently went to Kings Dominion as well. I’d definitely put Twisted Timbers over i305 but man, both are incredible! There was like no wait time for both of them
I actually have Hakugei at 1. I never thought it looked all that fantastic but once I rode it I was blown away. The power of gwazi with the length of vengeance. incredible.
Been on 18 RMC's thus far with plans for riding at least 3 more this year. Here are my rankings: 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Iron Gwazi 3. Lightning Rod- Have over 100 rides on it and I rode it this year. Still elite for me. 4. Arie Force One 5. Twisted Timbers 6. Outlaw Run 7. iron Rattler 8. Storm Chaser 9. Twisted Colossus 10. RailBlazer 11. Wonder Woman (SFFT) 12. Stunt Pilot 13. Twisted Cyclone 14. Wicked Cyclone- Just dies on that last lap for me. 15. Goliath 16. Wonder Woman (SFMM) 17. Joker 18. New Texas Giant
Yay, someone who agrees with me on Lightning Rod! All my rides came in March 2023 and it's my favorite RMC, even over Steel Vengeance. It's so good! I was blown away by the sheer aggressiveness, especially during the quad down. Out of the 152 coasters I've ridden, only VelociCoaster beats it.
@@garminkid it used to be my number one but I do admit that it has the pot hole and it lost a little bit on the first half. It is my #4 overall out of 463 credits
@@garminkid Yes! I've ridden Velocicoaster more than any other coaster, and even with having that ride, Hagrids, Mako and Cosmic Rewind among my "home parks" I was STILL blown away by Lightning Rod. With I could have gotten more than 2 rides but it didn't open until well into the afternoon. Even at 45 degrees, my two rides were everything I was hoping for. It's a GREAT ride and I can only imagine how much better it was with the original launch.
@@kevinmorris6984 Those are the conditions I rode it in! I’ve timed Lightning Rod POVs from the first drop to the final brakes over the years (2016-present, with a combo of mounted empty trains and GoPro/glasses full trains), and every POV timed around 40 seconds. The launch speed only affects the Dolly!
I recently went on Gwazi and Cedar Point is my home park. I'll be honest, I think Steel Vengeance is better. It's about twice the ride time as Gwazi and I think the elements are more innovative with how the track interacts with the structure. I also appreciate how the bottom of the first drop doesn't immediately take you up to the next hill. That little airtime hop is nice. I rode back seat on Gwazi and by the time I was able to really process the first hill, I was already going into the second drop. Great video. I've only been on 4 RMCs but will hopefully ride more soon.
All this. I’ve been on both over 10 times each and going back to CP in a month. I look forward to riding SV way more than Gwazi (which I still love), but SV does almost everything better, and the run through the guts on the back half is insane.
I recently rode Wicked Cyclone at Six Flags New England, so I just jumped on UA-cam and was about to search for this very topic since I was absolutely blown away and wanted to see how it stacks up. UA-cam is reading minds now! Thanks for another great video!
I’m so glad to have Arie in my backyard! And you so right! If it removes the quad down at the end it will go high up on the list! My Thighs still hurt thinking about that!
This may be one of my favorite Coaster Studios vids ever. I have always wondered whether you favored Lightning Rod or Outlaw Run, and now I know (I love your choice) Tysm for what you do Taylor!
I've ridden 5 RMCs and this is how I rank them! 1. Lightning Rod - I do not get the slander this thing has been taking recently. I got my first rides back in March (2023) and I thought it was insane! The slowed launch only affects the Dolly. The ride has unbelievable speed and pacing with aggressive airtime and some of the best terrain you'll find on a coaster! I had high expectations but this thing exceeded them! The wave turn was dope, the twist-and-shouts (especially the second one) had crazy ejector, and of course the quad down! I don't even need to put that into detail. The launch is also pretty forceful! While Thunderhead is incredible, this is still the best ride at Dollywood. 2. Steel Vengeance - Ah yes, my first RMC and my former number 1 roller coaster. This thing is one heck of a ride! It never ends and the airtime is crazy! Over time, I have realized that I like my roller coasters to have a variety of forces, and airtime is pretty much all that Steel Vengeance does. Not a knock since that airtime is elite, but it's not my absolute favorite ride. The second half can also be a hit or miss depending on if the midcourse trims any speed, but I'm not complaining because it needs 3-train ops. Still the best ride at Cedar Point! 3. Twisted Timbers - The best way I can describe this is that it's a more aggressive mini Steel Vengeance. It's a bucking bronco that tries to throw you out of the train. I loved every ride I had on this and the fact that it's in the same park as Intimidator 305 is wild. Somehow only the second best at Kings Dominion. 4. Goliath - This might be short, but every element packs a punch! The first drop is still one of RMC's finest, the stall hangs you upside down forever, the pacing is crazy, and the airtime is also really good. Since it has Topper Track (same can be applied to Lightning Rod), there are parts where it reminds you that it's a wooden coaster. It adds a lot to the ride IMO! Best ride at Great America! 5. Twisted Colossus - I rode this 4 times and only got one dueling ride (it was a full duel). The elements are great but when there isn't another train racing you, it's not the same. Still a great ride! X2 does overshadow it at Magic Mountain.
I've rode 5 and I agree the lightning rod slander is ridiculous. My list goes 1. Lightning rod 2. Iron gwazi 3. Outlaw run 4. Wonder woman golden lasso 5. New Texas giant
Can confirm that Fiesta Texas's GLC is running waaayy rougher and slower than Raiblazer these days, it's easily my least favorite RMC. Fair rankings for the most part but that low Iron Rattler ranking hurts, the setting is incredible and night rides are phenomenal on that one.
that's too bad to hear- really shows how ride experiences can vary over time. Back when I first rode WWGLC it was one of my favorite RMC's I'd ever done.
Wicked Cyclone opened up at the same time as Twisted Colossus and at the time, it seemed like Twisted Colossus got all the attention. Now, I think it's more common for Wicked Cyclone to be ranked higher--I think because Twisted Colossus hardly ever duels any more.
It's at my home park... please don't talk about it. I love how under-rated it is, best ride in the park and almost never any line. One time we rode it back-to-back 4 times, without having to even walk the queue, they just let us back on again and again.
RMC is the only manufacture I can think of where their worst coasters are still are top attractions at their respective parks and to your point are still ranked 9's. I might go 8 on a couple but still that is amazing. I am so looking forward to the their first ground up at a park that has an insane budget. I also looking forward to their junior models as well. Something that can fit in a very small foot print, affordable by most parks, and still packs a punch. I am thinking a near park park, Beechbend would be benefit greatly from one. Looking forward to mindblower with 308 track as well
jersey devil has gotten so so much better from my first ride after opening, tuning the trims and getting the right row really transforms the experience
I cannot believe the hate for Twisted Colossus. I obviously haven't been on every RMC like you have but TC is by far my favorite ride I've been on. It has a great combination of everything you could want, in my opinion.
Love finding that you rated Storm Chaser so high! I underestimated it the first time waiting in line for it, and absolutely adored it since! It really does leave bruises though
In the Iron Gwazi v SteVe debate, I think Gwazi's 1st drop is superior, but SteVe edges it out for me in everything else, especially the ride through the structure. Also, front AND back are great rides on SteVe, where I find Gwazi to be a back seat ride only coaster. It is way different in the front. And by back, I mean row 11. Because of the train design on RMC, I always prefer the 2nd to last row, or, the front seat in the back car. You get the same ride experience as the very back, but have a slightly better view without heads directly in front of your face. Go ahead, wait for the last row, I'll gladly wait less to take row 11 on that thing.
Totally agree on row 11 and being my favorite also!!! Yup I’m gonna brag to everyone CP is my homepark and wouldn’t trade it for anything besides November-April being closed. Been on Steve over 125 times and counting
I was able to marathon Iron Gwazi last Tuesday, and my shins are bruised from it lol. Worth every bit, though. Upside down floater airtime is a wild experience through the stall. And that wave turn over the station, especially around/in row 7, is so good. Any row is good, especially the back row if you want the most forceful ride.
I can’t imagine how powerful AF1’s quad down must be to knock it down when Zadra got knocked down for not having ENOUGH airtime! Can’t wait to ride it… one day 😔
Great Video....RMCs are a whole different level of coasters. I remember my first ride on Lightening Rod and was blown away. But the best parts of this video are the shots of your shirt blowing up!! Can we have more of these please?
Just rode my first RMC this past weekend - Wicked Cyclone. Hands down my favorite coaster. IT'S SO SMOOTH - the elements are crazy, but I didn't feel rattled up or sore afterwards. I'm stoked to ride Wildcat's Revenge later this summer and will definitely check out your documentary!
I was one of the first trains of the day on Iron Rattler 2 weeks ago and it still has fantastic ejector airtime and was really good in the morning, and I rode it up front. Definitely one the 1st or 2nd best RMC I've ridden.
I was fortunate enough to be able to ride Iron Gwazi a few months ago. It was a slow day at the park, so I got 5 rides on it, all in different seats front to back. Amazing ride and my number one as well. Cedar Point is the next park on my bucket list so I can ride steel vengeance. The only other RMCs I’ve ridden are Twisted Colossus and Joker. You’re definitely right about Joker being subpar and Twisted Colossus having lost the dueling experience altogether. It’s a shame because it’s a great ride
@@notjayy1 that’s quite an introduction to RMC. I’ve ridden Twisted Colossus and Iron Gwazi, and they are two of my favorites. I was nervous at first as well, because of the lap bars. Very safe coasters and a lot of fun. I love the airtime
Iron Gwazi was my first RMC and wow, wow, wow...I was blown away. I did zero research on it so I had no idea what was going to happen. The death roll is by far the coolest element I've ever experienced. I rode lightning rod after they switched to the chain lift and I enjoyed every second of that ride as well. Can't wait to ride more RMCs.
I’ve only done Steel Vengance so I can’t give my opinion, but judging by what I enjoy this is how I would rank them: 25. New Texas Giant 24. Jersey Devil Coaster 23. Wonder Woman Flight Of Courage 22. Stunt pilot 21. Twisted Cyclone 20. Goliath 19. Iron Rattler 18. Lightning Rod 17. Medusa Steel Coaster 16. Rail blazer 15. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster 14. The Joker 13. Storm Chaser 12. Outlaw Run 11. Twisted Timbers 10. Untamed 9. Wicked Cyclone 8. Wildcats Revenge 7. Hakugei 6. Twisted Colossus 5. Wildfire 4. Steel Vengeance 3. Zadra 2. Iron Gwazi 1. Aireforce One My favorite parts of these rides are variety and floaty inversions. But mainly airtime which is why Aire takes the top spot
Lucky enough to have BGT as my home park and Iron Gwazi does not disappoint. It is by far my #1 coaster overall, but only other RMC I've ridden is Twisted Timbers which is also a great ride. Great video!
I've only ridden Iron Gwazi, Twisted Timbers (I305 closed the one day we went...), Wicked Cyclone, and Jersey Devil, but hope to ride every RMC in the USA some day.
bro RMC is just an insane coaster manufacturer right now. They have no bad rides. I cant wait ride some more, becuase ive only been to the ones at six flags magic mountian, my home park.
For the ones I've ridden, I would say: 1) Iron Gwazi 2) Steel Vengeance 3) Iron Rattler 4) Lightning Rod 5) Wicked Cyclone 6) New Texas Giant 7) Twisted Timbers 8) Wonder Woman GLC 9) Jersey Devil Coaster Hoping to get on Wildcat's Revenge, ArieForce One, Twisted Cyclone, and Goliath this year!
I rode Steel Vengeance 2 weeks ago for the first time, my 3rd RMC, and it was incredible! It's a completely different experience than anything else I've ridden. We lucked out and got in line while it was temporarily closed, but we saw it being tested so raced back there and only waited about 15 min once they opened the line up. Earlier in the day, the app was saying there was a 2.5-hour wait.
Rmc’s coasters are amazing, I’ve been of the magic mountain version of Wonder Woman, twisted colossus, twisted cyclone, iron gwazi, lightning rod, and steel vengeance
Loved the way you edited and scripted this to make those transitions nice. My order of what I’ve ridden: 7. Iron Rattler 6. New Texas Giant 5. Wonder Woman Flight of Courage 4. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso 3. Twisted Colossus 2. Outlaw Run 1. Steel Vengeance
Twisted Colossus is still the same ride experience for me whether or not it duels. It's fun to race another train, but when it doesn't happen it's still the same exact ride.
I agree. maybe it’s an introvert opinion bc I really don’t care if it doesn’t duel. Doesn’t hurt they have another coaster to focus on dueling every lap anyway
Great list! I’m glad you like my home parks RMC! Storm chaser is a beast! I always tell people that if it were at Kings Island (which is my other home park) “it would be the best roller coast at Kings Island”
Dang, the only RMC i rode so far is Jersey devil and that's ranked at last... so im definitely missing out. That's why i am glad Wildcat's Revenge is coming to my home park. I hope that is going to be really good RMC ride!
I am not a big fan of RMCs for the restraints, but Hakugei was amazing. All that padding on the restraints was a joy! I was really happy to see it so high on your list, and even more happy it was running the day I visited Nagashima Spaland. It is a wonderful park that I will be sure to visit again when in Japan.
You’re completely right about Twisted Colossus. The trains to have to be dueling for you to get the full ride experience, and for you to actually enjoy it!! What’s the point of having two sides, if they’re not going to duel two trains?!
Outlaw Run was probably the coaster that got me into coasters. It terrified me the first time I rode it, I really didn’t know much about coasters at the time and I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. When I got back to Silver Dollar City a couple of years later I knew the forces that Outlaw Run would exert on my body, and it blew me away. I’ve ridden it about a hundred times through all my visits to the park and I still have to collect my thoughts on the brake run.
When he says these things are hard to rank, hes not kidding. Ive only been on the best and "worst" I-Box coasters on this list and they are both really incredible rides
Iron Gwazi was my 100th Coaster! It’s definitely in my top 3 but tbh I’m still a softie for Steel Vengeance. I guess because it’s a longer ride and I haven’t ridden it since 2019 but both are fantastic
I have only ridden one RMC: Wicked Cyclone. It is my favorite roller coaster. I just rode Shambhala, and Wicked Cyclone is STILL my favorite roller coaster. It's that good.
I have only ridden two, being Twisted Colossus and Untamed. Not knowing Twisted Colossus was in fact a dueling coaster (now I think of it, yes, the layout is very strange...). Untamed is the closest one to my home (the only one in NL) and I love that ride. I loved Robin Hood (it's predecessor) and Untamed is an improvement on every factor. Walibi Holland is planning on building two single rail coasters soon, by the way.
RMC is truly transforming the industry. I don't think any company has had such fast success since B&M. I've only ridden Lightning Rod and Iron Gwazi and they are mind blowing coasters. Any park with a RMC is on the right path.
Try intamin coaatets
Now I want to ride every RMC. I've been on 6 so far, all excellent.
ive been on zero sadlly but i do wish to ride them all once
you watch CS??
Arieforce is better than gwazi IMO
I’ve been on 1
Steel Vengeance is the only one I've been on at the moment.
Oh my god you have no idea how long I have wanted someone to do this in the last few years. Thank you so much Taylor I am a massive fan.

Living just 20 mins from ArieForce One and now having season passes, I don't understand how the 'quad-down' is too much for you Taylor. Having ridden Twisted Timbers just a month ago, I find that coaster to be way too much for me at the end with all of the ejector hills. ArieForce One's ending feels like an exclamation mark on perfection. I think you may change your tune the next time you ride it, and Arie will move up even further on this list. (Night rides especially!!!)
I haven't ridden many coasters but my experience with Jersey Devil was top notch. I love what RMC does and am currently making a coaster bucket list filled with RMC features lol
I've also ridden Wicked Cyclone in New England multiple times and I prefer Jersey Devil
So glad to see wicked cyclone make the top 10.such an underrated ride
Agreed but I hope it stays that way... gotta love almost never having a line
Iron Gwazi is the only coaster that has painful restraints but I kept riding. I rode 3x in a row (6x total) and had bruises on my shins the next day, but it was well worth. It's the best coaster I've ever ridden.
My top 1 is Lightning Rod and it always will be, I got just one ride on it in the 11th row in 2019 and that one ride was enough, I rode Storm Chaser 5 times last year and it’s my number 2, but as amazing as Storm Chaser is it only cemented how much better Lightning Rod is than any other roller coaster.
That short experience I would say is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life, it’s hard to except that it’s apparently fallen off, but I feel like even if I did ride it again and I didn’t like it as much, that it wouldn’t change how I feel just because that first ride was so life changing.
Update: I’ve just recently visited Kings Dominion and I’ve got a new top 1, Intimidator 305 is so good I couldn’t put it anywhere else, I couldn’t possibly keep my word of Lightning Rod always being my top 1 after that, I got only one ride on it and I got 8 rides on Intimidator 305! I went three time back to back, took a break to eat, then went another 5 times back to back, one of which was a front row ride at sunset and that is now what I consider to be the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life! I knew Intimidator 305 was gonna be in my top 10 if I rode it, but I never foresaw it being my top 1 over Lightning Rod.
YES! We call it the 🐐 coaster
I hope I get to ride Lightning Rod one day! I just recently went to Kings Dominion as well. I’d definitely put Twisted Timbers over i305 but man, both are incredible! There was like no wait time for both of them
Arieforce one is absolute SICK!!!🔥🔥🔥
I actually have Hakugei at 1. I never thought it looked all that fantastic but once I rode it I was blown away. The power of gwazi with the length of vengeance. incredible.
Been on 18 RMC's thus far with plans for riding at least 3 more this year. Here are my rankings:
1. Steel Vengeance
2. Iron Gwazi
3. Lightning Rod- Have over 100 rides on it and I rode it this year. Still elite for me.
4. Arie Force One
5. Twisted Timbers
6. Outlaw Run
7. iron Rattler
8. Storm Chaser
9. Twisted Colossus
10. RailBlazer
11. Wonder Woman (SFFT)
12. Stunt Pilot
13. Twisted Cyclone
14. Wicked Cyclone- Just dies on that last lap for me.
15. Goliath
16. Wonder Woman (SFMM)
17. Joker
18. New Texas Giant
Yay, someone who agrees with me on Lightning Rod! All my rides came in March 2023 and it's my favorite RMC, even over Steel Vengeance. It's so good! I was blown away by the sheer aggressiveness, especially during the quad down. Out of the 152 coasters I've ridden, only VelociCoaster beats it.
@@garminkid it used to be my number one but I do admit that it has the pot hole and it lost a little bit on the first half. It is my #4 overall out of 463 credits
@@garminkid Yes! I've ridden Velocicoaster more than any other coaster, and even with having that ride, Hagrids, Mako and Cosmic Rewind among my "home parks" I was STILL blown away by Lightning Rod. With I could have gotten more than 2 rides but it didn't open until well into the afternoon. Even at 45 degrees, my two rides were everything I was hoping for. It's a GREAT ride and I can only imagine how much better it was with the original launch.
@@kevinmorris6984 Those are the conditions I rode it in! I’ve timed Lightning Rod POVs from the first drop to the final brakes over the years (2016-present, with a combo of mounted empty trains and GoPro/glasses full trains), and every POV timed around 40 seconds. The launch speed only affects the Dolly!
I recently went on Gwazi and Cedar Point is my home park. I'll be honest, I think Steel Vengeance is better. It's about twice the ride time as Gwazi and I think the elements are more innovative with how the track interacts with the structure. I also appreciate how the bottom of the first drop doesn't immediately take you up to the next hill. That little airtime hop is nice. I rode back seat on Gwazi and by the time I was able to really process the first hill, I was already going into the second drop.
Great video. I've only been on 4 RMCs but will hopefully ride more soon.
All this. I’ve been on both over 10 times each and going back to CP in a month. I look forward to riding SV way more than Gwazi (which I still love), but SV does almost everything better, and the run through the guts on the back half is insane.
Yeah, have to agree. Been on both, and I still think SteVe is the perfect coaster.
I recently rode Wicked Cyclone at Six Flags New England, so I just jumped on UA-cam and was about to search for this very topic since I was absolutely blown away and wanted to see how it stacks up. UA-cam is reading minds now! Thanks for another great video!
I’m so glad to have Arie in my backyard! And you so right! If it removes the quad down at the end it will go high up on the list! My Thighs still hurt thinking about that!
I've just watched your documentary on RMC, and I'm amazed that Netflix hasn't picked this up, the quality was outstanding, well done!
This may be one of my favorite Coaster Studios vids ever. I have always wondered whether you favored Lightning Rod or Outlaw Run, and now I know (I love your choice) Tysm for what you do Taylor!
I've ridden 5 RMCs and this is how I rank them!
1. Lightning Rod - I do not get the slander this thing has been taking recently. I got my first rides back in March (2023) and I thought it was insane! The slowed launch only affects the Dolly. The ride has unbelievable speed and pacing with aggressive airtime and some of the best terrain you'll find on a coaster! I had high expectations but this thing exceeded them! The wave turn was dope, the twist-and-shouts (especially the second one) had crazy ejector, and of course the quad down! I don't even need to put that into detail. The launch is also pretty forceful! While Thunderhead is incredible, this is still the best ride at Dollywood.
2. Steel Vengeance - Ah yes, my first RMC and my former number 1 roller coaster. This thing is one heck of a ride! It never ends and the airtime is crazy! Over time, I have realized that I like my roller coasters to have a variety of forces, and airtime is pretty much all that Steel Vengeance does. Not a knock since that airtime is elite, but it's not my absolute favorite ride. The second half can also be a hit or miss depending on if the midcourse trims any speed, but I'm not complaining because it needs 3-train ops. Still the best ride at Cedar Point!
3. Twisted Timbers - The best way I can describe this is that it's a more aggressive mini Steel Vengeance. It's a bucking bronco that tries to throw you out of the train. I loved every ride I had on this and the fact that it's in the same park as Intimidator 305 is wild. Somehow only the second best at Kings Dominion.
4. Goliath - This might be short, but every element packs a punch! The first drop is still one of RMC's finest, the stall hangs you upside down forever, the pacing is crazy, and the airtime is also really good. Since it has Topper Track (same can be applied to Lightning Rod), there are parts where it reminds you that it's a wooden coaster. It adds a lot to the ride IMO! Best ride at Great America!
5. Twisted Colossus - I rode this 4 times and only got one dueling ride (it was a full duel). The elements are great but when there isn't another train racing you, it's not the same. Still a great ride! X2 does overshadow it at Magic Mountain.
I've rode 5 and I agree the lightning rod slander is ridiculous. My list goes
1. Lightning rod
2. Iron gwazi
3. Outlaw run
4. Wonder woman golden lasso
5. New Texas giant
Geez u have too be completely board Af to write all that in a UA-cam comment.
@@scufyplays9719 I’ll write long comments if it’s something I’m passionate about. I wasn’t bored while writing it.
I rode Iron Gwazi after a few years of not haven ridden a coaster at all. I had no clue what I was getting into haha hands down my favorite coaster
Can confirm that Fiesta Texas's GLC is running waaayy rougher and slower than Raiblazer these days, it's easily my least favorite RMC. Fair rankings for the most part but that low Iron Rattler ranking hurts, the setting is incredible and night rides are phenomenal on that one.
that's too bad to hear- really shows how ride experiences can vary over time. Back when I first rode WWGLC it was one of my favorite RMC's I'd ever done.
Iron Rattler is the best non hyper RMC I've ridden, I even have it over Lightning Rod
Wicked cyclone is so underrated nobody ever talks about it I feel like but it is actually insane and it’s one of my favorite RMCs
Wicked Cyclone opened up at the same time as Twisted Colossus and at the time, it seemed like Twisted Colossus got all the attention. Now, I think it's more common for Wicked Cyclone to be ranked higher--I think because Twisted Colossus hardly ever duels any more.
It's at my home park... please don't talk about it. I love how under-rated it is, best ride in the park and almost never any line. One time we rode it back-to-back 4 times, without having to even walk the queue, they just let us back on again and again.
You know rmc is a great company when it gives you a reason to go to Idaho
RMC is the only manufacture I can think of where their worst coasters are still are top attractions at their respective parks and to your point are still ranked 9's. I might go 8 on a couple but still that is amazing. I am so looking forward to the their first ground up at a park that has an insane budget. I also looking forward to their junior models as well. Something that can fit in a very small foot print, affordable by most parks, and still packs a punch. I am thinking a near park park, Beechbend would be benefit greatly from one. Looking forward to mindblower with 308 track as well
Zadar is ground up
I only rode Iron Gwazi and Steel Vengeance, and both are phenomenal!!!
I would love to have some of Sarah's rank videos with what she has ridden. She has definitely ridden a lot of coasters at this point.
That would for sure be awesome
jersey devil has gotten so so much better from my first ride after opening, tuning the trims and getting the right row really transforms the experience
I'm losing weight to finally ride Iron Qwazi this summer!. I am glad that my home park and favorite ride made the #1 RMC list.
Love the list! Also super great to hear the This is How We Roll music in the back😄
I cannot believe the hate for Twisted Colossus. I obviously haven't been on every RMC like you have but TC is by far my favorite ride I've been on. It has a great combination of everything you could want, in my opinion.
Love finding that you rated Storm Chaser so high! I underestimated it the first time waiting in line for it, and absolutely adored it since! It really does leave bruises though
In the Iron Gwazi v SteVe debate, I think Gwazi's 1st drop is superior, but SteVe edges it out for me in everything else, especially the ride through the structure. Also, front AND back are great rides on SteVe, where I find Gwazi to be a back seat ride only coaster. It is way different in the front. And by back, I mean row 11. Because of the train design on RMC, I always prefer the 2nd to last row, or, the front seat in the back car. You get the same ride experience as the very back, but have a slightly better view without heads directly in front of your face. Go ahead, wait for the last row, I'll gladly wait less to take row 11 on that thing.
Totally agree on row 11 and being my favorite also!!! Yup I’m gonna brag to everyone CP is my homepark and wouldn’t trade it for anything besides November-April being closed. Been on Steve over 125 times and counting
I agree. SteVe gets the edge for me by the tiniest margin. It’s all that stuff inside the structure that sets it apart for me.
I was able to marathon Iron Gwazi last Tuesday, and my shins are bruised from it lol. Worth every bit, though. Upside down floater airtime is a wild experience through the stall. And that wave turn over the station, especially around/in row 7, is so good. Any row is good, especially the back row if you want the most forceful ride.
This is a big one - let’s see how far back you place the people’s king Zadra 💪🏼
I can’t imagine how powerful AF1’s quad down must be to knock it down when Zadra got knocked down for not having ENOUGH airtime! Can’t wait to ride it… one day 😔
I got bruises on my legs after riding it a few times lol
it hurts
@THICCA380 what is it with wooden style structure red white and blue roller coaster brake runs in atlanta? #gasm
@THICCA380 "wooden style structure"
Great Video....RMCs are a whole different level of coasters. I remember my first ride on Lightening Rod and was blown away. But the best parts of this video are the shots of your shirt blowing up!! Can we have more of these please?
Just rode my first RMC this past weekend - Wicked Cyclone. Hands down my favorite coaster. IT'S SO SMOOTH - the elements are crazy, but I didn't feel rattled up or sore afterwards. I'm stoked to ride Wildcat's Revenge later this summer and will definitely check out your documentary!
I was one of the first trains of the day on Iron Rattler 2 weeks ago and it still has fantastic ejector airtime and was really good in the morning, and I rode it up front. Definitely one the 1st or 2nd best RMC I've ridden.
I was fortunate enough to be able to ride Iron Gwazi a few months ago. It was a slow day at the park, so I got 5 rides on it, all in different seats front to back. Amazing ride and my number one as well. Cedar Point is the next park on my bucket list so I can ride steel vengeance. The only other RMCs I’ve ridden are Twisted Colossus and Joker. You’re definitely right about Joker being subpar and Twisted Colossus having lost the dueling experience altogether. It’s a shame because it’s a great ride
how was steel venageance? If you have ridden it
@@notjayy1 haven’t been to Cedar Point yet. I hope to make it within the next year or so.
@@Spartan87667 aww bummer I am going this Sunday and I am sacred to do steel vemagence It will be my first RMC
@@notjayy1 that’s quite an introduction to RMC. I’ve ridden Twisted Colossus and Iron Gwazi, and they are two of my favorites. I was nervous at first as well, because of the lap bars. Very safe coasters and a lot of fun. I love the airtime
Riding my first RMC this Sunday, I'm super excited
The music in the background makes me want to go and watch this is how we roll again! 😂
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Kind words! I hope you enjoyed it!
Yeah since then I’ve watched it twice lol! It’s a nice thing to play in the background while playing planco imo
Iron Gwazi was my first RMC and wow, wow, wow...I was blown away. I did zero research on it so I had no idea what was going to happen. The death roll is by far the coolest element I've ever experienced. I rode lightning rod after they switched to the chain lift and I enjoyed every second of that ride as well. Can't wait to ride more RMCs.
I’ve only done Steel Vengance so I can’t give my opinion, but judging by what I enjoy this is how I would rank them:
25. New Texas Giant
24. Jersey Devil Coaster
23. Wonder Woman Flight Of Courage
22. Stunt pilot
21. Twisted Cyclone
20. Goliath
19. Iron Rattler
18. Lightning Rod
17. Medusa Steel Coaster
16. Rail blazer
15. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster
14. The Joker
13. Storm Chaser
12. Outlaw Run
11. Twisted Timbers
10. Untamed
9. Wicked Cyclone
8. Wildcats Revenge
7. Hakugei
6. Twisted Colossus
5. Wildfire
4. Steel Vengeance
3. Zadra
2. Iron Gwazi
1. Aireforce One
My favorite parts of these rides are variety and floaty inversions. But mainly airtime which is why Aire takes the top spot
My second ever ride on twisted colossus was a perfect duel, literally right next to each other
I’ve wanted this video for so long
kinda wild that iron gwazi was my first rmc lol rode it recently and it’s easily my favorite coaster alongside velocicoaster
I’m pleasantly surprised to see Wicked Cyclone so high! It’s been RIPPING this season so far!
I want to know where Wildcats revenge fits in this line up!
Ditto
So hyped for Wildcat's Revenge! Number 25 here we goooooo!!!
i have not ridden an RMC before, but in a week im gonna visit Busch Gardens Tampa and ride Iron Gwazi for the first time, so I am SO EXCITED for that
Lucky enough to have BGT as my home park and Iron Gwazi does not disappoint. It is by far my #1 coaster overall, but only other RMC I've ridden is Twisted Timbers which is also a great ride. Great video!
I've only ridden Iron Gwazi, Twisted Timbers (I305 closed the one day we went...), Wicked Cyclone, and Jersey Devil, but hope to ride every RMC in the USA some day.
bro RMC is just an insane coaster manufacturer right now. They have no bad rides. I cant wait ride some more, becuase ive only been to the ones at six flags magic mountian, my home park.
For the ones I've ridden, I would say:
1) Iron Gwazi
2) Steel Vengeance
3) Iron Rattler
4) Lightning Rod
5) Wicked Cyclone
6) New Texas Giant
7) Twisted Timbers
8) Wonder Woman GLC
9) Jersey Devil Coaster
Hoping to get on Wildcat's Revenge, ArieForce One, Twisted Cyclone, and Goliath this year!
I rode Steel Vengeance 2 weeks ago for the first time, my 3rd RMC, and it was incredible! It's a completely different experience than anything else I've ridden. We lucked out and got in line while it was temporarily closed, but we saw it being tested so raced back there and only waited about 15 min once they opened the line up. Earlier in the day, the app was saying there was a 2.5-hour wait.
Great list! Can't wait to ride all of the ones I haven't done yet.
Fire in the hole is a new for 2024 rmc family coaster at SDC,so that will need to be on the next list you make for rmc
Rmc’s coasters are amazing, I’ve been of the magic mountain version of Wonder Woman, twisted colossus, twisted cyclone, iron gwazi, lightning rod, and steel vengeance
Loved the way you edited and scripted this to make those transitions nice.
My order of what I’ve ridden:
7. Iron Rattler
6. New Texas Giant
5. Wonder Woman Flight of Courage
4. Wonder Woman Golden Lasso
3. Twisted Colossus
2. Outlaw Run
1. Steel Vengeance
Twisted Colossus is still the same ride experience for me whether or not it duels. It's fun to race another train, but when it doesn't happen it's still the same exact ride.
It’s not a great layout anyway.
I agree. maybe it’s an introvert opinion bc I really don’t care if it doesn’t duel. Doesn’t hurt they have another coaster to focus on dueling every lap anyway
I agree 100%. The quality of the ride is equal dueling or not
So overblown the complaints
Iron Gwazi is beyond iconic
What an opening statement Taylor. Well written 👍
So curious where Arieforce One and Lightning Rod will be.
Edit: Hakugei is so high, finaly someone giving it credit.
Taylor: I wouldn't classify Zadra as an airtime coaster
Also Taylor 2 minutes later: The airtime on Zahra gives you bruises
My favorite new drinking game...
Take a shot every time you hear the word "planet."
Honestly think this video should’ve came out after wildcats revenge opening.
Never been out of the states before but Zadra is my #1 fav RMC
Airie Force Ones inclusion is nice.
SteVe gettting the bronze is probably one of the biggest upsets I've ever personally witnessed in the enthusiast community but great list!
Finally, yes, exactly. #1 Iron Gwazi. Rode all except Hakugel. Love it.
Great list! I’m glad you like my home parks RMC! Storm chaser is a beast! I always tell people that if it were at Kings Island (which is my other home park) “it would be the best roller coast at Kings Island”
Dang, the only RMC i rode so far is Jersey devil and that's ranked at last... so im definitely missing out. That's why i am glad Wildcat's Revenge is coming to my home park. I hope that is going to be really good RMC ride!
I will say, twisted colossus being ranked 18 out of 24 was a lot higher than I was expecting
I was expecting it to be ranked in the bottom 3 on this list, if not the very bottom spot
I was also kinda expecting Lightning Rod to be lower actually, 9th place is still pretty respectable even if it dropped a lot
Taylor is a hater 😂
I am not a big fan of RMCs for the restraints, but Hakugei was amazing. All that padding on the restraints was a joy!
I was really happy to see it so high on your list, and even more happy it was running the day I visited Nagashima Spaland. It is a wonderful park that I will be sure to visit again when in Japan.
Rode Iron Gwazi this past week and it was amazing, only other I’ve experienced was twisted cyclone but Air Force is my next stop
You’re completely right about Twisted Colossus. The trains to have to be dueling for you to get the full ride experience, and for you to actually enjoy it!! What’s the point of having two sides, if they’re not going to duel two trains?!
No he's not. It's not a big deal.
Outlaw Run was probably the coaster that got me into coasters. It terrified me the first time I rode it, I really didn’t know much about coasters at the time and I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. When I got back to Silver Dollar City a couple of years later I knew the forces that Outlaw Run would exert on my body, and it blew me away. I’ve ridden it about a hundred times through all my visits to the park and I still have to collect my thoughts on the brake run.
Nice! I love to see your rankings! When do you expect to have an updated top 25 out?
Only one I've been on is Outlaw Run but I absolutely love it. One of my favorite coasters ever.
FINALLY THIS VID IS HERE, I love that wicked Cyclone is in the top 10
When he says these things are hard to rank, hes not kidding. Ive only been on the best and "worst" I-Box coasters on this list and they are both really incredible rides
Iron Gwazi was my 100th Coaster! It’s definitely in my top 3 but tbh I’m still a softie for Steel Vengeance. I guess because it’s a longer ride and I haven’t ridden it since 2019 but both are fantastic
I have only ridden one RMC: Wicked Cyclone. It is my favorite roller coaster. I just rode Shambhala, and Wicked Cyclone is STILL my favorite roller coaster. It's that good.
Interested where wildcats revenge will rank
Me too
I have only ridden two, being Twisted Colossus and Untamed. Not knowing Twisted Colossus was in fact a dueling coaster (now I think of it, yes, the layout is very strange...).
Untamed is the closest one to my home (the only one in NL) and I love that ride. I loved Robin Hood (it's predecessor) and Untamed is an improvement on every factor. Walibi Holland is planning on building two single rail coasters soon, by the way.
Appreciate the love for Storm Chaser🔥
Steel Vengence is my favorite, but I rode it when it was Meanstreak....major transformation.
