I love how Chris enjoys roasting bad coasters so much the worst coasters version of this video is already done
GLAZER
And we still got this video to 1,000 likes anyway
I would love to see you rank every defunct manufacturer’s last coaster
Arrow would def be #1 with x2
A lot of the defunct manufacturers are defunct for a good reason like togo
Video idea: Ranking all of incredible hulk at ioa’s elements
This is something on my list for a while. Ill get around to it
Also rank every manufacturer's first coaster.
Having Intamin below B&M is crazy to me 😂
It's funny how everyone has completely different opinions on coasters & rankings.
Great video as always.
its because he chose a ride like t express as intamins best which is a complete joke. He's just trying too hard. He's never been on it and it's clearly not intamins best rollercoaster. Velocicoaster is whether you like the ride or not.
Its personal taste a lot of the coasters he likes i find encrible boarring and some of the ones he doesn't really like i think the world of. He does make consistent comments so i can sort of figure out wich one i will like by how he dislikes them. Ok some are just bad and some of the ones he really likes i like to. But he does credit to his name floater airtime while fun is about the least of the really fun elements for me and for him they are probable the most importent one.
I do have to say with the best and the worst clipps all of his picks are pretty much the same for me or at least very near to the top or bottom. With the worse ones i only think he picked a couple he hasn't experienced himself that truly don't belong there. Not that they are great coasters but its just that they have a higher profile so get bad mouthed a lot more.
@@Hallknowsall Haven't done that one yet for me its still I 305 don't think velo will top it as a coaster but it might very well do it as a complete experience. Like i do with FLY still still like Lech coaster better as coaster as an totale experience yup FLY is better.
@@HallknowsallVelosicoaster isn't Intamin's best, not even close. Intamin's best coaster is overseas, one most of us probably haven't ridden. I'd say Hyperion is probably Intamin's best coaster, but Flying Aces is also a strong contender. Coaster through the Clouds also looks really good. But if you prefer using a launch to gravity, Formula Rossa is probably their best coaster. Hydrolic launch at 240 and a full layout so it doesn't have the flaws of the 4 stratas plus Stealth, I mean it's literally the perfect launch coaster (but I understand with it being SBNO some might not want it here).
@@urbex_coasters Hyperion is far from beeing the best Intamin. It's my number 4 Intamin in europe and i haven't even done Gotham City Escape, Taiga, Toutatis or Ispeed
Ranking every manufacturer’s 1-2 Punch or Big 3! Or you can throw out the top and bottom 2 or 3 for every manufacturer and have a Battle of The Mids!!!!
I visited Knoebels for the first time yesterday and got 3 rides on Phoenix. The airtime is so insane, it almost doesn't seem safe.
Been going since i was a kid! Great roller coaster!
Fr it feels like you bout to get shot out especially in the back
Try Jack Rabbit at Kennywood in the last row. You definitely won’t feel safe when you hit the double down.
@@lpn8585 Sweet! I'm planning to visit Kennywood next summer.
I went to Hershey park, and I have to say, skyrush new lap bars are amazing. No pain and much better airtime. Maybe you won’t hate it anymore
I just rode Mr. Freeze forwards at SFOT at the start of June, and I honestly preferred it forwards. I thought the launch and spike taken forwards were better experienced in that direction, and I was so impressed with how good it was
Yes I’m a forward fanboy myself.
@@cody_t Another reason why I prefer it forwards is because I’ve been riding it backwards at SFSTL for over 8 years at this point, so it’s not as exciting to me anymore. Forwards on the other hand was a whole new experience
@@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239Riding in the front, almost feeling like you’re going to launch into the sky, having no idea when you’re doing to fall, as well as crazy pullout after the spike is the best part of the forward version!
@@cody_t I only rode the forwards train in the very front row, and one part that caught me off guard was the overbanked turn on the return trip. Getting pulled backwards through it was super intense
I'm with you. I like both forwards & backwards, but I think forwards has the overall slight edge. It has better forces overall, especially for that incredible sustained airtime on the spike, almost 7 seconds. You don't get that facing backwards. The advantages of the reverse is the unique backwards launch and the better view when going up the spike.
My favorite Arrow coaster is different, but that could be because I haven't gotten to ride Magnum. As much as I love X2 as an Arrow coaster, I would actually pick Shock Wave at SFGA as my favorite. It was so intimidating, with one of the sharpest looking paint schemes, bright, electric blue track and white supports. I am lucky enough to have ridden it when it was brand new and was super smooth. I was also lucky enough to have ridden Vortex at King's Island when it was brand new, but Shock Wave has the edge. I am eternally sad that I never got to ride Drachen Fire, but at least I still have Viper at SFMM.
My coaster experience is pretty limited so there are only a few manufacturers from which I've even ridden multiple coasters, but for those, I can pick a favorite:
- Arrow: Loch Ness Monster, BGW. Great use of terrain, one of the most photogenic coasters ever made, and the elements are restrained enough that Arrow's lack of heartlining isn't a problem.
- Vekoma: Expedition Everest, Disney's Animal Kingdom. Extravagant Disney theming and a layout that contributes, with a dark backwards track section including an intense helix. The yeti's been broken since shortly after it was installed, but the whole experience is strong enough that you don't care much.
- PTC: Mr. Twister, Elitch Gardens. This was a diabolical ride, and it ran with only a buzzbar, though it focused more on laterals and surprises than airtime.
- Intamin: Superman: The Ride, SFNE. Still a classic hyper. The restraints don't bother me that much.
- B&M: Shambhala, PortAventura. This now seems like it was preparation for building gigas. Visually beautiful, unusually large hyper with lots of graceful floater air and a unique turnaround that probably inspired Fury's.
- CCI: This one's hard. The two I've ridden are Boulder Dash and Stampida. Boulder Dash is by far the more epic of the two, and the first time I rode it back around 2012, it was great. But the last time I rode it the ride had deteriorated and I definitely enjoyed Stampida more than that. I'll give it to Boulder Dash out of sentimentality and hope.
Since you're a baseball guy, how about ranking every manufacturer by batting average. Which coasters are "hits" and which are "misses", then seeing which manufacturer makes the most consistently good coasters
Great video idea! Going to CP, HP, HW, and KK in a few days, so this list may mega change:
23. Wacky Worm (Lake Winnie) (Fajume)
22. Joker Funhouse Coaster (Chance) (will be Lightning Run soon)
21. Cheetah (CCI) (will be Raven or Legend soon)
20. Hurricane (FSK) (E&F)
19. Hurler (Carowinds) (International)
18. Tumbili (S&S)
17. Mindbender (Schwarzkopf)
16. Mine Blower (Gravity Group)
15. Racer (PTC)
14. Grizzly (KD) (Taft)
13. Galaxy Spin (Zamperla)
12. Tennessee Tornado (Arrow) (will probably be Magnum)
11. Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster (Weigand)
10. Rip Ride Rockit (Maurer)
9. Verbolten (Zierer)
8. Nighthawk (Vekoma)
7. Ice Breaker (Premier)
6. Mystic Timbers (GCI)
5. Mystery Mine (Gerstlauer)
4. Copperhead Strike (Mack)
3. Intimidator 305 (Intamin)
2. Fury 325 (B&M)
1. ArieForce One (RMC) (could be SteVe soon)
Favorite in-house coaster is Beast
Will be riding my first Dinn coaster (Thunder Run) soon
have u been to KI before? cuz thats right around the area of those parks :>
@@kingstyn I have, just didn't get up to CP when I went. KI was a great park, just didn't have any of my manufacturer's favorites
Have you ever done a best theming video? I went on Iron Menace over the weekend. The theming had to do with a Pennsylvania paranormal team investigating some guy named McTavish because he burned down an iron factory (or something like that). Weird...but I appreciate them trying. I will take any theming over no theming (talking to you Pantheon). A worst theming video would be fun too.
I have done a theming video for non-universal/disney
Found it, watched it (again...I had 2 comments on that video...lol). Thanks
Neat rides. That Hamster Wheel coaster looks totally insane. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It is!!! One got installed at my local park and I'm so thankful. For some reason is isn't on the Rcdb.
@@dynaosc what park? Rcdb doesnt list portable rides at fairs if thats what it is
@@AirtimeThrills Jungle zone (Qatar), it's a permanent installation. You can see on their socials.
Haven’t even seen it yet but I already know that RMC is winning
bro saw the future
Great list. At first I was shocked you gave TT2 to Zamperla but since they altered the layout it makes since. Looking forward to the inverse of this video.
You should make a list of your top 10 favorite coaster models.
Honorable mention: International Coasters Inc.-Hurler(Carowinds)
You should do modern coasters that you believe will be “classics” in the future!
I've been to Liseberg just the other day, was happy to see Lisebergbanan as best Zierer coaster. I thought it was excellent in spite of its age, unfortunately very popular so much longer lines than the more thrilling ones
Tobotronc is the only coaster I know of to have a layout that would show up with a visible extent on a map of the country it's in.
I am a huge RTH fan girl, thats ace! Have you ridden Voltron yet?
Video idea. Coasters that have an element that doesn’t hit the way you’d hope. For instance, I thought the raven dive on arieforce one would have been better.
How about every manufacturer's craziest experiment?
You should REALLY make a ranking every six flags or cedar fair parks worst coaster if you haven’t yet
How about a ranking of the best in-house built coasters? Show-down between the Beast and Cannibal for sure
Probably a dumb idea but you should rank all the in house/made by the park\ coasters would be a pretty cool video
I just had my 60th ride on Steel Vengeance and it's still incredible every ride.
Would love to see a video of best in-house coasters, thinking stuff like The Beast and Viper at Great America.
I think your picks are spot on!
I think Jinma's best coaster is their lsm launch coaster. It looks like it has a punchy launch.
I just got to ride my 1st ever RMC in Stunt Pilot at Silverwood! I need to ride Cannibal again to see who's my #1. And yes, that twisted airtime hill is wicked, more wicked than Wicked at Lagoon. **I also rode Stunt Pilot 4 times, once in the front, twice in the middle, and once in the very very back**
The last 2 spots of this video fits my current coaster rankings perfectly. Eejanika is by far the most intense coaster I have ever ridden with quite possible the strongest airtime moment I have ever experienced. If only it was longer and maybe a little smoother would it best vengeance.
We had a 4 park road trip last week, SFA, SFGA, Knoebels and Hershey Park, and my biggest disappointment was El Toro being closed. I've ridden it before but was really looking forward to it again after all the rework done to it.
It would be cool to see the most medium coaster from every manufacturer, perhaps a coaster that features al the stereotypes of a manufacturer lol.
My friend love the videos
Also Eejanaika you gotta say it like "Eh-Ja-naika" え instead of E haha
I would like to see CP get a next gen Vekoma Flying coaster since Cedar Fair is now working with them
I love timber wolf. But I haven’t ridden thunder run
Won’t lie, I haven’t been in many RMC coasters, but a friend and I said that wildcats revenge was better than steel vengeance. Idk if he still feels that way as it’s been nearly a month since we went to Hershey, but I’ll say it. However, I’m not surprised if many people prefer steel vengeance. I just can’t ignore the unbanked double down on wildcats revenge. Anyhow, great list as usual
ive never been on steel vengeance, but i just looped widcats revenge three times and im convinced it doesnt get any better than that
@@laser6170 I don’t wanna cloud your judgement but to me, Steel Vengeance felt like they ran out of ideas by the final stretch. And the inversions were almost forgettable. However the drop was better. But regardless, wildcat felt more complete of a ride and the unbanked double down was the most insane element ever. Again, my word is not gospel, form your own opinion. But they are both different kinds of rides. One was clearly built to break a record, the other feels more well rounded. Also idk how true this is but the wildcats revenge trains felt a little more comfortable. I’m not a fan of rmc trains but I felt less stapled on wildcats revenge. Maybe it was an operator thing.
Olympia Looping and Voltron schoild be on there. BUT!!! as a unbrual mantion there should be EuroStar from the german fair. This was a awesome coaster when it opend and was made by so many companys. Intaman, giavanola, gerstlaure and i thought mack and vekoma also
On there in the place of rth? No thanks. Yes it could have been mentioned, but that's it.
I LOVE this, except I have to ask: What about Shivering Timbers? But I haven't ridden it, and my favourites you listed are I have ridden and Fury 325 and Steel Vengeance and my favourite you listed I haven't ridden is The Voyage. Also: Ghostrider and El Toro are both coasters I've ridden and are awesome too. Thanks for posting this great video!
Fly is a great ride also for the technology involved and the theming, but as a Layout Lech Coaster should be vekoma’s best creation
My childhood favorite roller coaster from Schwarzkopf that was one of the first roller coasters I’ve ever written was the Wizzer accurate America, which is my home park.
But my favorite roller coaster of all time right now is of course steel vengeance at cedar point
wow, whizzer was my first coaster too. really want to got to cedar point but still to young for my parents to let me
I would probably rate steel dragon 2000 as the better morgan coaster. It is just huge with the longest track length and height and doe so much speed and airtime while being smooth enough to ride 8 times within 1 hour. I didn't really enjoy Fujiyama as much as it was very rough and painfull during the second half and the first drops just kind of go up and down in a straight line. Probably amazing when it was build but there a lot of bettter huge coasters out there. I also rode Takabisha, which while being an insane layout with the launch and the vertical lifthill, the over the shoulder restraints really ruin the ride if you are over 1.80m. Still good forced and a very good launch.
I think, Mack Rides needs an update. It is now (since 26-Apr-2024) most likely "Voltron Nevara" at the Europa Park in Rust, Germany.
I can’t remember if you done a video on it yet or not, but I’d love seeing you take coaster elements and list your favorite or several favorite instances of them on rides
The chance hyper gtx like chance ride’s version of the Intamin Mega Lite
I rode one of the hamster wheel coasters at Myrtle Beach in its debut year and it rattled way to much for such a new ride. Does anyone know if the others are any better?
This summer there will be a major European soccer tournament. You should do something similar where you vs the best coasters from each country against each other using the same EUEFA eurocup format to see which qualifies countries coaster comes out on top. Theres also a similar Americas soccer tournament but the USA would probably win that coaster contest
You mentioned X2 and Magnum as the two best Arrows, but you completely forgot to mention Corkscrew at Cedar Point.
The scandia screamer is a ride I thought I would never hear of again…. 😂
Isn't it called Prairie Screamer now in Texas?
Scandia Screamer was my first roller coaster. Said to see it leave my hometown
Video idea, rank in house coasters
I think the beast would win that one
this is a fun idea, i second this
If you want to ride a hamester wheel, there's one in Myrtle Beach at the world's smallest amusement park! I kept getting ads for it.
Great vid as ever mate!
Mack at #3 is crazzzzzzy. Hype over the new spinning coaster
It deserves it. That ride is pure perfection.
13:49 when did mack get a new logo? have I been living under an invisible rock?
Titan should be a lot higher! It's a great ride!
Can't wait to hear your review of All American Triple Looper at Indiana Beach.
I have no plans to go back there but when i do ill be very very afraid given what ive heard lol
@@AirtimeThrills The transitions are roughly and the restraints are not comfortable.
That bird almost got rammed by the Pinfari coaster
Video idea: Traditional hypers (over 200ft with a lift hill) By the numbers
Do you think you can do a vid on every company's worst coaster? **If you made this back in like 2015 or before you rode Steel Vengeance/when El Toro was your #1, do you think it'd be ironic that Intamin would've had your most fav and your least fav coaster ever?**
I think this is a bad list when you’ve written shockwave and you put a coaster over it just because it looks cool
I am still waiting for the day Eejanaika dethrones SteVe for you!
Some responses:
Pinfari: Super Achterbahn at Wiener Prater is (was) miles better than Tornado! Pinfari is best when it doesn't try to invert. Trust me on this (especially since both rides are defunct).
Maurer: Rip Ride Rocket better than Phoenix? Get outta town.
Arrow: Actually, kudos to putting Magnum over X2. It's just a matter of pulling rank.
Vekoma: I'm not gonna disagree with FLY but you all are sleeping on Abyssus.
Intamin: It's so hard to tell what the best Intamin is even if you have ridden all of them, but T-Express is maybe the tenth or eleventh coaster in that conversation?
The only problem with t-express is that it is apparently incredibly rough.
5:47 the logo for Togo 😂😂
Always gets me!
You must be new. It's old and played out
@@Abcdefgx-u9g I actually been a coaster enthusiast since Christmas 2011 but I don’t sadly get out to other parks besides Carowinds because I live with my family and they don’t like riding roller coasters so that’s why I don’t ride them much 😔😰
So you prefer lisebergbanan over wicked at lagoon? Seemed like you really like that vertical launch coaster.
When are you doing your Great Adventure documentary?
I think he wants to visit Six Flags Great Adventure first in order to get new footage. So it'll be finished after that at the very least.
It should be released throughout the month of August
Also I think the best Morgan should be Steel Dragon 2000. Worlds longest coaster should be on here!!!
Steel vengeance was designed by the ultimate enthusiasts for enthusiast. Its been six years now... and the most air time on a coaster has not been broken since.
Video Idea: Make a video where you say 1 thing you would imporve on rides at Knotts Berry Farm. This inspiration came from a video you created 2 months ago but with Six Flags.
I have heard a rumor that T-Express might get the RMC treatment.
Here's an idea for a list: cloned coasters.
What's the best coaster that exists in two or more locations? Would it be all the Batman clones among all the SF parks? What about Gerstlauer Eurofighters? Would either of Vekoma's notorious pair (Boomerang or SLC) be at the bottom?
The original Raptors would most likely win.
Here are a few more.
-Manta has a clone in Japan
-I-Speed has a clone
-I count TMNT Shellraiser as a Takabisha clone
- I'll always take a B&M Batman clone
-I personally like the S&S 4D free spins quite a bit
-A bunch of new Vekomas have clones in Asia
-Mr Freeze
-The Flight of Fear clones
And then there are the near clones like Mind Bender and Quimera, TTD and Kingda Ka, Wonder Woman and Jersey Devil, Rock N Rollercoaster and Xpress Platform 13...etc. I guess you'd have to decide some kind of criteria for being or not being a clone. I mean, if you wanted to get super nitpicky you could argue that every Raptor is a unique layout but that would be a bit silly.
@@zacg_ You forgot The SkyRocket 2 clones.
@@zacharyyamashita8554 I enjoy those but I was trying to focus on ones that would make a list of the very best clones and i just don't think the Skyrocket 2 model would. That's why I mentioned only the new Vekoma clones without referencing older Vekoma clone formats. I did mention the 4D Free Spins but with the caveat that I personally really like them.
Personally I think Eginikia half arrow half SNS is my best arrow coaster, if completely arrow, X2. I prefer it over magnum, BUTTTTT. Magnum is very janky, and I like that. It tells a story with each and every aspect of the coaster.
Since I've ridden t-express, are you saying I'm going to be dissapointed if I ever make it to ride eltoro? That's sad because I've heard so much praise of that. But ya, t-express is pretty good. I can't argue with that.
Tornado for Pinfari? Odd choice, heard it was one of the roughest coasters on the planet. Theme Park Crazy did a video on it titled "The WORST Roller Coaster Ever"
That said, it was relocated to France a couple years ago (and renamed Gotham), it's supposedly running a bit better now.
5:40 why is the logo poop emoji 😂😂😂
It fits
@@AirtimeThrills Ik right
Battle of Jungle King is rough AF, I honestly liked Jinma's family rides more.
Also in my personal humble opinion I prefer Python in Bamboo Forest over Wood Coaster mostly because of the length. But I have never ridden Wood Coaster with a full train so take my word with a grain of salt.
Do a video on worst to best amusement parks you've been to and why
I personally think intamin’s best ride is either Velocicoaster, skyrush, or I305
OG Rattler > SOB
The Beast > Thunder Run
For Morgan, I would had gone with Steel Dragon 2000.
I have a question. Do you have plans to go ride Pipeline at SeaWorld Orlando before you go to Japan?
Now waiting for my ride on Steel Vengeance
I have to wait a week lol.
I was disappointed with F.L.Y. The ride position was so uncomfortable that it was all I could think about the entire ride.
“RMC had Alan Schilke”
Coulda stopped there
Nice vid once again
We need a nine train ranking , best to worst.
I’m on the Fury 325 train forever. ❤
I feel like he forgot the best of the homebrew coasters parks built but still a great list.
Skyline needs a win
Use The Real Togo Logo!🤣
What about each manufacturer's most innovative coaster? I.E. important technical features like first inversion or first launch
Ideas: Ranking the best and worst coasters at every six flags and cedar fair park
Why is Top Thrill 2 considered a Zamperla coaster, while Ghostrider is still considered a CCI?
Its a CCI layout, GCI didn't change the elements themselves, just retracked it, tweaked some of it, gave it new trains
I think Giovanna should have been a little higher, as Anaconda at Gold Reef city is a legitimate coaster and if they had stuck to more clones of that, they still might be in Business today!
It's the closest best coaster to the B&M invert, but still with 2 across seating.
I was thinking about the inverse but… 0:48 yea it’s already done
I spoke with miler. Technically e&f miler and miler manufacturing are 2 different companies. Miler manufacturing was their grandfather's company, he ran his own traveling fair and built coasters for it. E&F is a seperate company owned by the grandson and nephew that built their own coasters. Also shouldn't you count lagoon and strickers as a manufacturer. Lagoon built multiple coasters and the strickers family built tornado and Teddy Bear. If you count giovinola you should count those as well.
W list
Why does Togo use a 💩 emogi when there so good! Lol. Thanks for this review, always appreciate your hard work.
Fujiyama was uncomfortably rough. It threw you around in a bad way. "Ejector" was more like just yanking you up and down painfully instead of blissful airtime
