as someone who watched Coaster Studios in its early days to have sarah and your parents in one video is full circle moment for me as a fan! proud of Taylor & Sarah for the work they put in!
It was so sweet to see them hugging at the end too! ❤
Agreed.. 😊
your parents are so awesome
What amazes me is how good the weather is there in dec. You wearing all t-shirts, while here in Europe we wear three layers of clothes
Florida winters can be quite nice!
There's a reason there are so many parks there
Well, Tampa in Florida is actually more south than Cairo in Egypt.
I agree, here in the UK, we are lucky to go over 10°C
Getting Older - I agree. I'm 63 and I go on El toro once or twice and feel shot. When I was a teenager, I used to lap all the coasters for hours.
so el toro is 45 years old?
@@zachyboi3489 They are probably talking about things like the early steel Arrow corkscrew coasters that were around in the 70's as well as the classic woodies.
@@shaggydog9789 Mostly Classic Woodies
8:26” no instead I am going to get both!” Sarah lol 😂 literally me!
The quality of your camera + the picture perfect Florida skies = 8k looking clean video
Just looks like a bog standard gopro to me, they're okay in good light but it's still only modern phone level picture quality. Have you seen actual 8K footage from a real camera before to make this comparison?
That's a cool Beatles shirt Taylor's dad is wearing!
TWICE did you notice he wore it in 2017
@@markylon what videos in 2017?
@@kevingreen5793 Watch this video again from 0:19 and listen carefully Taylor will say 2017 and there's an image of his dad from 2017 and he's wearing a Beatles Shirt
@@markylon oh yes now I see it. Although he was wearing a different Beatles shirt not the same one.
FORMULA ROSSA IS REOPENING, I went there today and saw it going around the track so I asked and they said it was testing and is expected to be opened this week or the next
Whoa
Taylor, you've got the best parents! So cool for them to still go on rides with you guys 🙌 I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas! Thank you for all the videos this year, it's been great!
This is great!!!! Your mom is adorable Taylor lol
Meanwhile, I'm still trying to get my dad on my homepark's kiddie coaster 🤣
Kiddie coasters scare me more than any other
I love seeing your families and friends. It makes this channel so wholesome.
Taylor's mom's reaction to the 91 degree drop was priceless
I’m happy to see your mom and dad back in your videos.
Somehow RMC manages to give a smoother experience on big coasters like Iron Gwazi than not so intense coasters like Phoenix Rising. You can get bigger and faster without feeling so wasted. Just like your mother said. That’s impressive.
iron gwazi my beloved :)
when i visited orlando with my family they wanted a few days off to relax / shop and i decided "hell no!", so what i did was i forwent going to magic kingdom, and used the saved up money for a bgt season pass instead! with the free shuttle bus service having a pick up spot conveniently close to our hotel i would just walk to the bus, go to bgt, and come back like a 9-to-5 for 5 whole days hahaha!! i got plenty of amazing rides on ig and it's unequivocally my favorite coaster i've ridden 😅
I live about three hours away from Busch Gardens as well, but a different direction. Busch Gardens being my home park just warms my soul every time I think about it.
I love how the pov for iron gwazi was pure chaos
Videos don't do justice on how wild this ride gets
It's absolutely relentless.
@@MakBot Indeed. I love it
Can’t believe Josh from Kings Dominion and Tempasta lady made it on Iron Gwazi
I was looking for a comment like this 😂
@ us longtime fans get it lol
I'm 30 seconds in and this video is already so cute. My Mom doesn't even do coasters, but she's dying to get back to Busch Gardens to do the Giraffe Encounter.
Taylor you are so lucky to have Parents that love coasters. Mine would get sick just watching IronnGwazi.
BGT's operations have been the worst every time I've visited, just a poorly run park. But has some great rides! Fun to see all of y'all having a blast on some of them!
Wow, I was at Busch Gardens the same day you were! Iron Gwazi is such a masterpiece of a roller coaster, my personal favorite and imo, the best RMC (or SV). The back row for this ride is a MUST DO 🔥
Nice to see The Tempasta Lady and Josh from Kings Dominion finally ride my favorite coaster Iron Gwazi!!
I was hearing chatter that the lift motor on Kumba expired. I think they're waiting for a new one. I could be wrong, but that was from other chats and other sites...
I love that ride.
We were in Orlando about a week ago and the temps were quite chilly from Florida. SWO had medium crowds, but almost every coaster that day was a 1 or 2 train wait.
I've also heard that the ride has become structurally compromised due to a sinkhole in that area of the park.
8:32 she almost flipped the table she was so happy
Melissa!! You’re reaction to the gwazi makes me want to go again 😅 ❤
Ahh now I see where Taylor gets his personality from, it’s definitely from his dad! Lol
My absolute favorite park I have ever Ben to. Only a 6o minute wait for Iron Gwazi for Christmas, I have seen les and I definitely seen much longer. Congrats Caitland for riding Iron Gwazi 9,219.00. Wonder if that is the record??? Absolutely Outstanding From Start To Finish // Absolutely Loved Every Minute
I just got back from a Dec Orlando trip that included BGW on the way back home.
Was able to knock out the 3 coasters missing from my to do list.
Phoenix was a lot smoother than Penguin Treck. The back row was definitely the better spot to ride. The front felt like it was being held back several points iin the ride.
I'm about to go in a few days so the timing of this video is getting me pumped for my trip.
That dude does live there! I see him everytime I go and I thought I was bad. lol 🤘🏾
What a fun video and I loved finally getting to see your parents (not sure how I hadn't seen them in anything until tonight). Tyler - Your parents are adorable and I love that they got to share some theme park fun with you guys! =)
I agree, I hate Iron Gwazi’s operations! My family was in line for food so me and my brother went to get in line cause it looked short, but we waited 50 minutes! Most of those waits would be under 30 minutes for Velocicoaster!
That was hilarious and I loved every bit of it. Great video!
You’re lucky to still be able to enjoy coasters with your parents! You will miss that one day! 😢
I was still able to ride Nitro with my Dad in his late 60’s…🤘
My dad was 62 years old back in ‘79, when we rode Colossus at Magic Mountain together. Mom wasn’t very happy at all 😊
All I remember was dad saying “what a ride!”
I’ll cherish that memory forever.
❤️🔥🤘
I was there in may this year. Gwazi had 3-4 minutes dispatches consistently. Luckily it was a slow day. Had to wait 3-4 trains maximum, but still
Such a great vlog! Your sweet parents!
Wow, this is my first vlog I watched from your channel and it didn't dissapoint!
welcome! we hope you stick around and check out some of our other fun vlogs we've posted from over the years!
@@CoasterStudios I will! 😁
We saw you there that night but you were speed walking too quick 😂 so fun you got to ride with your parents!
Aw your parents are so gorgeous! This is super sweet.
In an era when parks up-charge to “skip the line” the emphasis on speedy dispatches and efficiency disappears
When I went in June there were wasps at the top of Gwazi and also at the top of Sheikra. I'm unsure if they keep coming back or if they haven't fixed the infestation yet
So excited this is about to be my home park ❤
15:20 Truer words have never been spoken 😂. I’m 50 years old. When I was a younger man I could marathon Demon at SFGAm. Now I ride it once and I’m good the rest of the day.
Taylor's dad: 😎😂😃
Taylor's mom: 😨😱💀
Waow. What a slow opération. Even zadra they check the seatbelt and the lapbar but It doesn't take longer than a minute
Have not made it to Busch Gardens Tampa yet. It's on my bucket list. I will definitely say at Busch Gardens Williamsburg the food quality has went down but the prices have gone up.
My mom would never in a million years ride IG but I would in a heartbeat! 😂
taylor's dad must really like the beetles if he's wearing a shirt with them now and back in 2017 😂
We're going on Zadra in April. So far my only RMC credit is Untamed. Awesome ❤
Been waiting forever for this!
Also, I FEEL you guys on the employee/food situation. So frustrating! I don't feel like I'm being an abusive guest and use "please" and "thank you" and the employees still treat me like I'm oppressing them!
BGT is my home park and I try to go about 3-4 times a week so I must’ve just missed you guys! I see Kalin all the time! He’s super chill. I’m sorry you had to deal with the horrible ride operations lol.
the enthusiast that has ridden gwazi over 9,000 times is so unhinged to me; i just can't comprehend riding a single roller coaster that many times lol
I went to BGT in august of 2023 and I noticed that the paint on Kumba was sort of washed out. Seeing it in the video looks so fresh. Not to mention what looks like a new entrance sign. That may be why it was closed. I did love the park so much though and the rollercoasters were all awesome including Iron Gwazi, and the others like Montu and Kumba.
You now have to pay an up charge to go on the Sky Ride !? That’s crazy that
One of my friends caught you at BGT. I was JUST THERE on Monday of this week!
I'm gonna edit this so I don't make a bunch of different comments lol.
1. I've heard they have to dispatch slow to keep the ride from overshooting the breaks. However, idk how true that it. Also, they've got a lot of new ride ops(at Gwazi)
2. Scorpion closed because they didn't want to pay for a permit to be reinstated/get the maintenance required to keep it running.
3. All we know with Kumba is that B&M called and made them close it. We aren't sure what the issue is. One person told me it needs a track inspection, but that doesn't make sense because they were recently working on the lift hill(which aligns with a rumor that is more credible from the sources I have).
4. B&Ms new rides are rough because of the new wheel assemblies. They are cast as 1 piece. They also don't look like they have shock absorbers.
OHHH you dad was that cedar fair guy in the coaster parodies😂😂
Another great video
You have some awesome parents!
I also live in Orlando and would love to meet you guys and go to Busch Gardens
Love to see appearances from Mr and Mrs Studios
I didn't realize you live in Orlando! Super cool. I had you guys roast my top 10 coasters on Cameo earlier this year which was a lot of fun!
glad you enjoyed the roast!
Someone from CZECH REPUBLIC rode Pheonix Rising before you guys. You are slacking at your job, lol ... Loved having this over you for a whole month tho. 😂🩷 Those operations ... ooof. Energylandia would never!
Kalin is awesome!
Going to BGT later this month! Excited to ride iron gwazi and phoenix rising for the first time!
Your dad’s shirt is awesome! I’m a coaster enthusiast and preform as “John” in a Beatles Tribute! And my home park is Kings dominion!
I loved my iron gwazi rides in 2023 but twisted colossus here in cali packs more!
Go on a weekday, Bosch Gardens Tampa Bay is quite empty most days.
I’m a platinum pass holder and there are always rides closed everyday.. Serengeti flyers, Falcons, fury, the log ride, now kumba .. would suck to just come for the day and pay to see everything closed
nanocoasters for example are 56 dollars PLUS tax, PLUS 5% surcharge, PLUS the optional tip! a nanocoaster at all other parks is $35 plus tax! absolutely insane prices at seaworld parks
btw pretty sure kumba is just under annual maintenance. montu and cheetah hunt have also been down for a little while too but i don’t know why
I too was just there for a revisit, after spending two days at Universal, these operations are infuriatingly sllloooowwww! :(. I did get a ride on Gwazi with Kalin - just learning of his Gwazi accomplishments LOL
Finally was able to do all the major Florida parks last week all the way from Belgium. Loved Iron Gwazi, think I might like it even more than Zadra! But Seaworld operations are among the worst ive ever seen. The funny part is that I did Europa Park 2 weeks prior and the contrast in operations was just frustrating haha. Still very nice parks though. Hope I can return soon enough. 🤩
I went to florida in october (and met frikking coaster studios at HHN!!) and we went to Busch gardens after the hurricane hit and gwazi was closed :((( I was so so sad, but I have more reason to come back!
Not going to lie this made me tear up 🥹♥️
Man I wish to one day run into you guys at the parks. BG is my home park
I love how I didn’t know the manufacturer of Phoenix Rising but one look at it and I was like … ah a B&M 🤣
The weird aftereffects are standard for an B&M 🤣
I've been waiting to see yall hear Kalin's current ride count for so long 🤣🤣🤣
I just went on the Friday the 13th yesterday, kumba was closed the entire day, not sure what's wrong with it, plus cheetah hunt was down the entire day too
Melissa is right. When you get older you definitely have to pace yourself on the coasters. I have to be very careful after Gatekeeper or Raptor. I got really bad motion sickness after back to back laps on Dominator when it was at Geauga Lake
I just went there and the park looked very nice and had a great coaster collection but the staff and food situation made it 10x worse. I don’t know how any park can get away with what they do. We got the food pass and every food spot available for the food pass was closed and the only one open we had to wait 90 minutes for just for cold pizza.
I live 30 minutes away from BG and feel so lucky to have so many great coasters in my home park. But good lord the operations are generally pretty bad on Iron Gwazi. I feel like the average load dispatch time is close to 3 minutes, regardless of the queue length. Other rides aren't significantly better, but I always seem to feel it with Gwazi since I'm excited to get on.
Also nice to see Kalin still riding. I went to high school with him :D
Iron gwazi is so good
I was a little sad when I went, we missed Kumba! I’m like the biggest Hulk fan ever so I was really looking forward to it, but it was shut down the day before we went!
Was lumbar closed when you were there?
My homepark! So excited to watch this 😊
I love the Kalin spotting. He's so much fun to ride with. And y'all missed the two weeks that Pheonix was smooth lol she do like to shimmy tho.
Wish they'd do something about the wasps!!!
Can't wait to go!
gwazi is always at 300 seconds, even when its not busy
Our Favorite Coasters
Much love to Kaelin (sp?) I was on a work trip and made my first trip to BGT, but only had 4 hours, he gave me a front of the line pass for Gwazi and I managed to ride with him on both my rides.
He's there all the time. I've ridden with him a number of times!
I know it’s a little past the season, but is there an HHN vlog coming? 😂
This is my home park. Iron Gwazi is so fun, but operations are terrible on it. Sometimes 3+ minutes between dispatches.
Going to florida in January. Is this park worth a day?
Nice seeing Josh from Kings Dominion and Tempasta sauce lady at BGT
23:22 Taylor hitting the Donald trump 🤣
my mom would never speak to me again if I forced her to ride Iron Gwazi lmaoo
Last spring when I was in Florida I was so exited to ride iron gwazzi I got in line and half the station building line was a 45 minute wait it was painfully slow and honestly made me less excited for the ride.
18:32 yeah, we know… 😞
