Ayy I see you got the phantoms revenge in the intro from kennywood. Kennywood is my hometown and I don’t really see kennywood get featured in videos so when I see it I be really excited and happy that more and more people get to see it. This is around the 3 or 4 UA-camr I have Said this to.😂
Giant Dipper is an interesting pick. I've said it for years, it's the best and most well maintained classic woodie I've ever ridden. I honestly don't know how they do it and it must cost a fortune especially since it's a seaside woodie. I hope you get to experience it one day, it'll surprise you. Having said that and removing the location and historical significance, if you put G-Rider and G-Striker up against G-Dipper I'd take the first two any day of the week.
Their list is ridiculous, especially with Phoenix. You are so right. It has got to be the most overrated coaster ever. It's good, but I don't think it's even the best in the park. I think Twister is better, and by a very wide margin. Phoenix doesn't make my top 100, and I think I would put Giant Dipper over it if I ever get to ride it. My rankings on the rest: 8. Mako 7. Wildcats Revenge (guessing--I haven't ridden it) 6. Phantoms Revenge 5. Fury 325 4. Voyage 3. Pantheon 2. Iron Gwazi 1. Lightning Rod (based on my 2022 rides)
Having ridden Giant Dipper it is an amazing wooden coaster but shouldnt be anywhere near a top 10 list unless its for seaside amusement park rides. Its incredibly smooth for being a 100 year old coaster and gives surprising amount of air time
Yeah ride to happiness is even considered to be way better than time traveler but I think the “Ten Best” may be referring to American rides only so I think he was also speaking in terms of that 😊
To be fair, I have it ranked #30 out 323, but it's definitely not on par with a lot of these rides. However, it is surprisingly fun and has quite a few pops of good airtime.
Phoenix vs Giant Dipper is actually a pretty tough decision, having ridden both. Giant Dipper has a better mix of forces, including some strong airtime and some of the best laterals I've experienced. I personally say it was the world's best coaster for 65 years, not being dethroned until the hyper coaster era (I'm ignoring trains in that legacy ranking, that's why I say it's a tough call today). But top 10 in America today? I don't think so.
I think it’s because parks need to submit one coaster to represent them, hence why you don’t see multiple coasters for one park. I guess CP and other parks didn’t submit anything.
Giant Dipper is a very good old woodie, but it's not 1 of the 10 best wood coasters, and the Coney Island Cyclone should probably have its place if the historical significance is the reason GD got that place. Cyclone is also a little bit better of a ride in my opinion. Phoenix is by far the best wooden coaster I've ridden, but I've never been on Voyage or El Torro, which was closed when I went to Great Adventure. It wouldn't put it above Iron Gwazi or Mako, which are my 2 favorite coasters from a pure ride standpoint without taking theming into consideration.
It was after he said "maybe next time theyll include better coasters" I was just emphasizing that it is voters choice, and not the opinions of USA today
I remember a few years ago they put Mako at number 1 above the likes of Fury 325 and I think Steep Vengeance made that list whatever year it was. I've never ridden Mako and I'm sure it's amazing but Mako over both Fury and Steel Vengeance (which didn't even make the list!?!?!). Now it's number 2 and Phoenix is number 1? I've always found this list to be very odd. Almost like they put a bunch of coasters on a dartboard and whatever numbered darts landed on whatever coaster was up there determines this list. Sheesh...
It's a weird list. If you were to try and assess some kind of underlying bias (other than that the list is clearly focused on American coasters) I'm not sure what it would be. If you just said the writer wasn't very familiar with coasters and just picked popular ones that came up on Google searches you'd assume the list would have multiple Disney and Universal coasters as well as Millennium Force and Coney Island Cyclone. But that's now what this list is at all. It seems there might be a bias in favor of Pennsylvania and the surrounding region because even for as good of a collection as the state has they still seem a bit over represented for how small this list is. But then if that's the issue it would seem they threw in Giant Dipper randomly to help the west coast feel included without giving it much thought. I honestly can't figure out how someone comes up with this particular list. Think about it. Who knows enough about coasters to include Fury 325, Phoenix and Wildcat's Revenge but doesn't think to include Velocicoaster? And I'm not even saying what the order ought to be. It's just weird to have forgotten that when more obscure (by general public standards) coasters were included.
How I would rank them: 1. Iron Gwazi 2. Lightning Rod 3. Fury 325 4. Pantheon 5. Voyage 6. Wildcat's Revenge 7. Mako 8. Phantom's Revenge 9. Phoenix 10. Giant Dipper I will say you had me nervous that they picked horrible coasters. The top 8 are all in my overall top 25 (591 credits). Interesting nothing from Cedar Point. Giant Dipper is better than you think.

Steel Vengeance and Velocicoaster are missing from the list. I haven't ridden the latter, but still: WTF?
Sober up…..not a single Cedar Point coaster? Top thrill 2? Maverick? Millennium force? Steel Vengeance? The giant dipper is better than those 4 rides?
yes but only steel vengeance is worthy of top 10 in the USA. Maybe tt2 but barely anyone has ridden it and i doubt people will like it that much
@@VerdeliteThis sounds like someone has a case of the grumps. And idiocracy.
@@Verdelitett2 over maverick is laughable
@@deadlylightningspirit4295 no it’s not. some people just like different ride experiences. I have i305 as my #1 and pantheon as my #3

I have the strongest feeling that this is run by a 10 year old gp
@@VelvetteSimp Crazy
They didn't even have Steel Vengeance but they had Giant Dipper and Pantheon lol
uhh
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od Like one of the best coasters in the world is apparently worst than an average family coaster like what?
The Giant Dipper isn't objectively one of the top 10 coasters, and on May 17, I was 1st in line for it's 100th anniversary, so I love this coaster!

I have no basis upon which to judge your list. I've only gone to Cedar Point and Geauga Lake, which is/was local, over the last 50+yrs
9:07 What about ride to happiness? Isn’t that an extreme spinning coaster? Anyways I agree with you and those coasters should be on the list
Yeah ride to happiness is even considered to be way better than time traveler but I think the “Ten Best” may be referring to American rides only so I think he was also speaking in terms of that 😊
I think it’s America being USA but it wasn’t very clear
Correct ten best list is only based off coasters in the USA
@@XscreamThrills … Well that makes a lot of sense now
@@XscreamThrillsi kinda forgot that you were talking about america
I haven't even ridden Giant Dipper yet and I already know that it wouldn't even be in my top 10, twenty, or even thirty for that matter.
To be fair, I have it ranked #30 out 323, but it's definitely not on par with a lot of these rides. However, it is surprisingly fun and has quite a few pops of good airtime.
B&M fanboy? so am I! I rode fury last Friday, and it makes my number 1!
It's my #2 behind Steel Vengeance
Fury325 is amazing I rode it after they fixed it and earlier in May 2024.
I'm betting money is the reason for the placements of their top ten, not actual reasons
Hold on though. The way Phoenix is nestled in the trees. Phoenix looks like a solid top5

No Intimidator 305? I'm surprised by that, I forget their new name since I think they lost the rights with Dale Earnhardt's estate

The USA today rankings were garbage, clearly half the people who voted live in Pennsylvania. Top parks and top coasters both leaned wayyyy PA heavy
They don't pick them themselves. It's voter based

@TheCycloneHunter no. This was another comment I left after finishing the video.
It was after he said "maybe next time theyll include better coasters" I was just emphasizing that it is voters choice, and not the opinions of USA today
Out of all the classic wood coasters to overhype, they chose Giant Dipper…
The only extreme spinning coaster? Ever heard of ride to happiness

Mako is amazing but wouldn’t put it at no 1. I’d say it’s the 3rd best coaster in FL behind velocicoaster and iron gwazi

No Velocicoaster? This list is a bunch of b.s.
Agreed 😉
4:42 no way this is up on this list 😭😭😭
Goofy ahh family coaster
Yah it doesn't deserve to be on this list but its still pretty good its just a worse version of Phoenix
I don’t think it’s there for the actual ride experience, more for how historically significant it is
no reason giant dipper should be there? its just a classic not a good ride. Phantom's revenge also does not deserve close to top ten in the usa
B&M fanboy!
