Every Manufacturer's SMOOTHEST Coaster 

A lot of the reason for Phoenix being so smooth is Knoebels having its own lumber mill. You can even see new wood sections in the video.

Schwarzkopf was so far ahead of their time. Their coasters aren’t very janky (like their competitor Arrow) and still run butter smooth.

For GCI I would definitely say Heidi The Ride at Plopsaland. It's really surprising how smooth it is. In fact, it's the smoothest coaster in the park. Pure wooden butter. Also, if you think Balder is smooth (which it is), be excited for Colossos at Heide Park. It's smoother than 95% of steel coasters I've ridden. Feels like ice gliding. It feels straight up wrong for a woodie

RCCA “ I only rode Son of Beast, it was horrendous. Moving on.” 😂😂😂😂 nothing more needed to be said

I was blown away with how smooth Kentucky Kingdom's coasters were, although I didn't ride T3.

I got on Leviathan at Sea World in Australia in September, and it's currently a smooth (and overall fantastic) ride. Having also ridden Kentucky Flyer, Switchback, and Voyage this year, I'd say Switchback is the smoothest. None are particularly rough though, as Kentucky Flyer is still pretty new and Voyage gets great maintenance.

Some of the smoothest I’ve ridden: Mack - Ride To Happiness Gerstlauer - Gold Rush RMC - Untamed Intamin - Kondaa Vekoma - F.L.Y. (hon. men.: Python’s retrack) B&M - Baron 1898 GCI - Heidi the Ride

I went to ZDTs for the first time last month, and yeah, Switchback is fairly smooth. I did get a headache after a while, but that’s probably less to do with the smoothness of the coaster, and more to do with the no-lines and I rode it 5 times in a row with no stops lol

Funny how most of Kentucky Kingdom’s coasters are smooth, and then there’s the opposite with T3. Rest in pieces T3

Man, I wish Tunder Run was smooth when I rode it in July. I wasn't even in a wheel seat and it was bouncing and rattling like crazy. Timberwolf was smoother to me. Though I actually had like a 95% full train when I did Thunder Run, which is probably rare and might of made it run with to much weight.

Roughest and smoothest coaster built by a park in-house?

For B&M I gotta give a shoutout to Candymonium for being the smoothest roller coaster I’ve ever ridden

A note about Yukon Striker, I've had a few rough rides, and one that gave me a terrible headache for a bit afterward. This happened in the back row on the left side. So, an edge seat. But when it's not rough, it's definitely extremely smooth. There doesn't seem to be an in between.

Never thought I’d see the day where Kentucky Kingdom dominates a list

I love Slinky Dog Dash. It is one of the better Disney coasters I have been on and the best family coaster I have been on so far. It is so much fun.

There are only a few manufacturers where I've ridden enough coasters to really have an opinion. Some smooth ones: - Arrow: Gonna go with Loch Ness Monster. Of course it's being rebuilt now to make it even smoother. - PTC: Yankee Cannonball at Canobie Lake Park. This wasn't particularly smooth most of the times I rode it, but a retracking a few years ago left it phenomenally smooth, though enthusiasts complained it was also robbed of force. I don't know, I think it's OK. - Vekoma: Expedition Everest, Disney's Animal Kingdom. Haven't ridden any of the neo-Vekomas. - B&M: Shambhala, PortAventura. Yeah, there might be smoother ones, but this is pretty great. - Intamin: Uh, I think the smoothest Intamin I've ridden is Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts at Universal Studios Florida. Does that even count? And some smooth coasters from manufacturers where I really haven't ridden enough to compare: - Gravity Group: Roar-O-Saurus, Story Land. I rode this when it was very new and I've heard tell that it got a bit rougher later. But it was running great then. - Hopkins: Polar Coaster, Story Land. Cute kiddie/family ride. - Zamperla: Dragon Coaster, Canobie Lake Park. My daughter's nostalgic fave. - RMC: Wicked Cyclone, Six Flags New England. Yeah, it's smooth as hell, like you said. Controversial hot takes: - Gerstlauer: Untamed, Canobie Lake Park. I dunno, people complain about the roughness of this but I don't see it at all. Maybe I'm just the right height for the restraints. - CCI: Stampida, PortAventura. Again, I've heard people complaining that this nearly killed them and, well, it's not glass-smooth but I thought it was fine for smoothness.

Steel eel was insanely smooth. I was less impressed with comet and maybe Hershey park agrees with the new trains? Wicked cyclone is very smooth and I feel like even the 3rd lap is better?

Great video! I had a feeling you were gonna choose Phoenix on the PTC part. And I'd honestly pick Steel Vengeance as the smoothest RMC I've been on. (As well as being the only one of its kind I have ridden so far)

For Intamin, you gotta get out to S.Korea sometime (I know, BIG ask) and do T Express. I was stunned how smooth it was in 2022, and apparently people actually consider it *rough* compared to usual, so they're retracking it this winter. That's gotta be in the talk for smoothest Intamin after the retrack I imagine..

Also, for Gravity Group, I think you forgot Roarasurus at Storyland. It is a fun and forceful ride that is worth the trip and somehow glass smooth still!

Kentucky flyer is still smooth i went last month and it’s smooth

Chris, I love your channel and the content you create. I have been a subscriber for almost a year, and I admire your opinions and rankings. But I have to STRONGLY disagree with your pick of Tennessee Tornado as the smoothest Arrow. I rode it last month, and it was really janky. I don’t know if I just got a bad ride, but after getting off, I said I would not be doing that again. The only other Arrow I have ridden is Dahlonega mine train at SFOG, and I felt that was smoother.

I’m gonna say for Zeirer their smoothest coaster is verbolten because it is smooth like pudding and I think PTC”s smoothest coaster is swamp Fox at family kingdom in Myrtle beach.

Pantheon is wayyyyyyyyy smoother than Velocicoaster. Velocicoaster has developed a little rattle. Doesn't effect the ride more than being subjected to that annoying ass pre-show tho

I will give you Tennessee Tornado for Arrow… but Loch Ness Monster was a brain basher for me. Hoping for the best with the refit.

4:15 I gotta agree on Lightning Racer being smooth. Of the two GCIs I rode at HersheyPark, This is not only the smoother one, but I don’t have a grudge against it for making my gut hurt.

I found back row on Diamondback to be surprisingly smooth even though it’s known to have a rattle. Honestly it wasn’t that bad

Kentucky Kingdom: highest smoothest coasters per capita. Nice.

I love that three coasters on this list are at the Jersey shores! I've been on Great White and Hydrus, but not the tramcar one (my smoothest Zierer is easily "Impulse", located at the same place as the only other coaster on this list that I've ridden).

Great video! Congrats to Kentucky Kingdom for having 3 winners on this list even though they had T3 ( Lightning Run, Thunder Run, and Kentucky Flyer)

Kentucky Kingdom taking 3 of the smoothest 👏👏👏👏

always a good day when chris uploads

As someone who’s ridden Skyline’s most recent coasters, I can confirm that Skyline’s smoothest coaster is actually Brava at MASSMoCA. That thing rides like butter. I just rode both sides of Kid Flash at Over Georgia on Sunday and it’s shockingly rattly for how new it is. I honestly don’t think it’s gonna last 5 years tbh.

I mean Balder has just received a retrack so it makes sense but it’s not like it was rough before

Runaway tram is the only zierer I’ve ridden but it is super smooth

RCCA: moving on. This dude is smart.

CANADA MENTIONED RAHHHHHHHHHHH LETS GOOOOOO RAHHHHHHHHHHH

I love this series called "Every Manufacturer's ........" I can't wait to see what is next!

For me, the smoothest Arrow coaster is Road Runner Express at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. It's one of only a few mine train roller coasters I can think if without any rough transitions or bumpy spots. Some other smooth ones from Arrow that I can also think of are also mine train coasters such as Adventure Express at Kings Island, Goldrusher at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland. Some of their suspended coasters like Bat at Kings Island Ninja at Six Flags Magic Mountain, and the former Big Bad Wolf at Busch Gardens Williamsburg are among the smoothest that I've ridden from them also.

fønix being the smoothest coaster at vekoma

In my opinion vekoma should be Guardians of the Galaxy. Such a great ride!

dear airtime thrill. Leviathan has been rough since day one, gravity group is just rough

I gotta give the smoothest Arrow to Gemini, that thing was surprisingly butter smooth

Shambala daddy’s

Kentucky Kingdom coming in strong. I definitely need to visit this park, even though Kings Island is my home park.

nice vid keep it going :)

Surprised to see Thunder Run on this list, when i rode it in June last year it was horrible. It jacked all of our backs right up 😫

With such a low thrill level, I would be surprised if Slinky Dog Dash was rougher than the more thrilling coasters

For me so far: Arrow - Tennessee Tornado (definitely either this or Loch Ness) B&M - Batman the Ride SFOG (there are other smooth B&Ms like Orion, but it's impressive how well this runs despite its age) CCI - ??? (I've only ridden Cheetah and that's definitely NOT smooth) Chance - Joker Funhouse Coaster (only one I've ridden) E&F - Swampwater Snake GCI - Mystic Timbers Gerstlauer - FireChaser Express (Dare Devil Dive is also pretty smooth) Gravity Group - only ridden Mine Blower, so... Intamin - Hagrid's Mack - Slinky Dog Dash (it didn't even feel like I was on a track!) Maurer - Rip Ride Rockit for all of my smooth rides, Go Bananas for my rough ride on RRR Premier - Ice Breaker PTC - Cannon Ball RMC - uhh anything lol S&S - Tumbili (only ridden this one and it was smooth so) Schwarzkopf - Mindbender (pretty smooth, also the only one I've ridden lol) Vekoma - Dragonflier Wiegand - Rocky Top Mountain Coaster Zamperla - Galaxy Spin Zierer - Air Grover

I feel like for Mack rides, Dc Rivals at Movie world Australia deserves something, every time I ride, it has been one of the smoothest experiences

Finally let’s gooo part twoooooooo

I agree with mist. Buyt for Schwarzkopf it's definitely Olympia Looping and for Togo it's Fujiyama. As for Vekoma, there are some good ones in Europe.

The smoothest arrow is undoubtedly Ninja at magic mountain. I cannot be convinced otherwise. Compared to any other arrow suspended swinger, ninja is smooth, fun, and great on the terrain!

See I unfortunately disagree with velocicoaster. It has a horrible "intamin rattle" to me and I've ridden all times of day

vekoma's STC (Suspended Thrill Coaster) Prototype hals-über-kopf at Tripsdrill in germany is buttery smooth for a suspended thrill coaster. you should consider it in your list

I completely agree! Balder is extremely smooth. Even in the back row! What a masterpiece of a coaster!

You MUST ride leviathan, u walked on thinking it was gonna be rough only to realise it was really smooth and the airtime you get is great, the line is short to!

GCI smooth candidate in Europe: Heidi the Ride at Ride to Happiness European Mack Rides contender: any Mack Coaster at Europapark (except Euromir) European smooth Gerstlauer contender: Karacho at Erlebnispark Tripsdrill or G'sengte Sau at the same Park European smooth Vekoma contender: F.L.Y at Phantasialand Smooth European B&M contender: Oblivion: The black Hole at Gardaland or Black Mamba at Phantasialand. Smooth European RMC Contender: Untamed at Walibi Holland

Poseidon at Europa-Park definitely isn't smooth. Please don't show a picture of it while saying all Macks all smooth. It hurts my brain.

I think GCI should've been Wicker Man at Alton Towers, it feels like you're levitating

I’ve ridden 4 B&M hypers- Nitro, Mako, Candymonium, and Apollos chariot and every one of them were super smooth

“You’ll be pressed to find a rough B&M” Rougarou would like to enter the conversation.

For Vekoma id myself probably say either the Python Retrack (in my opinion so smooth its nearly boring) or FLY at Phantasia. For a flying coaster i was truly amazed.

i love Medusa at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom, always smooth, and never breaks down

I love The Phoenix and Knoebels so much I’ve been trying to get my wife to let me name our son after it but she can’t get over his first name the word “The” in it …. SMH. ….. women.

I rode Thunder Run in 2020 as well and it was a good time. But by 2022 it had developed a back breaking pot hole on the first drop.

Airtime Thirlls you do not want to go to Magic Springs my Homepark Magic Springs is useless

For Dinn it would easially be the beast, but because the beast was designed by dinn and not built by dinn, it cant count unfortunately

Am I blind? Did I not see a premier rides? Also suprised Goliath at SFFT wasn’t at least a B&M honorable mention

I have to say, when I rode Lightning Run this summer, it had a bit of a vibration in the S-bends at the end. That was the only moment, but it was quite noticeable tbh Unrelated note: Mystic Timbers is too smooth for me, makes it feel kinda boring imo

Candymonium is my smoothest B&M. That or Orion. Felt like I was just floating on clouds.

Thunderhead at Dollywood was surprisingly smooth

T3 had to balance out Kentucky kingdom’s smoothness

When I went on lightning racer I got jackhammered in every single valley. It was so painful.

Just came back from school for the weekend and this made my weekend wayyy better edit: I've been on an SBF visa spinner (Full-Scale) at bawadi mall Al Ain its pretty rough tho you bang on the sides of the seat but it's still fun

Helix is my pick for smoothest Mack but I've not ridden anywhere near as many coasters as this dude

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but when I rode Steel Curtain its opening year at Kennywood I thought it was one of the smoothest coasters I’ve ever been on. Was surprised to see it as an HM in your other vid. I wonder what happened since then.

Thunder run is so damn rough lmao

i just rode lightning racers for the first time a few months ago and my main takeaway was it was rough haha

Airtime Thrills im a big fan can you please pin me?

Copperhead strike has crazy rattle in the second half so I don’t know how that could be considered smooth

B&M's Leviathan at Canadas Wonderland is my personal smoothest.

Guardian’s of the galaxy is the smoothest coaster I have ever road on. Butter smooth and like nothing else out there.

Idk about lockness. I went on it in July..it was pretty rough

The demon at six flags great america got new trains and trackwork this year, it now runs like a modern looper, I never even have to brace, its glossy smooth.

I have a buy or sell for ya...the chance rides hyper gtx will start to catch on and pop up all over the place...

i can kinda vouch for leviethen at seaworld au its kinda ruff at some parts buts overall not the worst

I would like to nominate Ravine Flyer II for large-scale Gravity Group

Twisted Timbers was AMAZING when I rode it. I wonder if it’s still running smoothly now

I have only rode wiegand alpine coasters and they are shockingly smooth

Love your videos, man. Another great one as always!

I suspect penguin trek is going to be the smoothest coaster ever.

Also Dare Devil Dive was the smoothest Gerstlauer I've ridden

I think "Monster" at Adventureland should be on here...

Idk when’s the last time you e been to SFMM but Full Throttle has a very noticeable rattle now 😔

Smoothest B&M is definitely Candymonium

I love how you said “Son of Beast, moving on….” 🤭

im better

One of my favorite RU-vidrs (this man is top tier)

Yukon is one of my faves! Also found it quite smooth.
