[OLD] Ranking Australia's Roller Coasters 

Not counting distance to other countries, Australia has a very solid lineup. Big Dipper, Steel Taipan, Abyss, Superman, and DC Rivals provide Australia with several thrilling and unique models with plenty more rounding out the lineup. Compared to countries like Canada, Spain, Brazil, and even India, Australia in my opinion reigns supreme. That's to say, the United States, Japan, China, etc. all decimate it.

Hey I loved this! I feel like it's so rare to see Aussie coasters mentioned in the community since, like you mentioned, our market is very much underserved. This was so cool to watch, I loved the respectful inclusion of the historic coasters, and the way you talk about everything is super engaging! I'd love to hear about some of the higher intensity experiences you've had on international coasters! Thanks for uploading this, it was a great watch. 😊✌️

Speaking as someone who rode Wild Mouse, that is one of the best wild mouse coasters I’ve ridden. I love the intense turns and lack of pain along with the beautiful view of Sydney Harbor. Awesome ranking.

as someone who had little knowledge about the australian coaster market, this was rlly interesting, keep up the good work! ur channel def deserves more attention

This was a fantastic video. Always love hearing about roller coasters from under discussed regions.

Good video man! Had no idea about all of these!

Well put together vid. Entertaining to watch. Thanks for your efforts. The only one I tried was Scenic Railway but that is because I'm ancient now.

Ok calling it a "Triple Bypass Launch" is so much better than calling it a "Swing Launch". Also, great video!

Sending my thoughts to Bermuda Triangle it was the best of its time, everything you said about it is so true !

Hi! Good video! You just earned yourself a new subscriber (me)! I'm also an Aussie coaster enthusiast but for some reason I haven't ridden Steel Taipan or DC Rivals yet! EDIT: I've now ridden DC Rivals, and I can confidently say that it is OVERRATED.

Just rode Taipan yesterday and was thinking I like DC Rivals better. Glad to have someone else have the same opinion as me. Reading the comments, I would definitely try The Leviathan!

unique video👌🏻 would love to visit Australia

Totally agree, DC rivals as no 1. Riding backwards is well worth paying the extra $30 and is much more fun. Having this option makes it like two totally different rides. Not to mention you you won’t have to wait long in the reverse seat line. I have ridden the Leviathan and this is a great coaster, the way they have designed the whole entry to the loading platform really sets the mood. Something you need to see for yourself. Needless to say, there is something about a wooden coaster that is hard to match. There is a reverse facing option as well. I haven’t tried it myself. Thanks for your reviews

As someone a bit late to this world, Abyss was the first ever rollercoaster I ever road and it's still probably one of my favourites. Haven't been in ages though.

While what we have in Australia may seem mediocre compared to places like Europe and North America, we still have far more here then many other parts of the world. For the landmass, isolated location and small population, it's outstanding. Spare a thought for New Zealand, which has only one coaster that was built in 1985. Plus, our coaster scene is expanding crazy fast, with about 7 new coasters popping up around the country in just the last few years. It's definitely an exciting time.

Wonderful Video!

I thought nothing could beat DC rivals coaster, that was until a few weeks ago when I rode “The Leviathan”…. It’s got such good air time, wood all around you, you never know which way you are going to turn next and so intense from start to finish. 👏

DC Rivals is my favourite, particularly riding in the front. Superman’s restraints really impact the enjoyment and comfort of the ride. I’d love to see Dreamworld build Australia’s first giga-coaster along the lines of Orion, Millennium Force or Fury325 - something with massive camelbacks, a real airtime machine.

Now that Leviathan has opened I'd love to see where you place it. For me its easily the 2nd best in the country and absolutely my favourite coaster that I've been on. It hauls over that first drop in the back and the triple down is nuts combined with some absurd transitions that feel like you've been hit by a truck and you have one of the most enjoyable coasters in the country. Excited to see how it holds up to other coasters overseas when I go next year.

Leviathan rollercoaster is open and it's so much fun! Definitely recommend it!!

After riding Leviathan quite a few times I personally gotta say it definitely is my favourite coaster I've ridden in Australia by some margin and I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it

Great list! I would like to hear your opinion on The Gold Coaster because quite a few Aussie coaster fans hate it for some reason. I'm looking forward to what you think of Leviathan.

Nice video, I haven't been able to do any of the rides down south yet. But I have done everyone on the Gold Coast and filmed them. So if you want to see them I have them and more on my channel. Plus a playlist of just rides. Plus a playlist list of full walk though of every park last year, when they were almost empty.

Just got back from gold coast after a 8 day trip. Wishing I was still there after this video. I've done all these except the Melbourne Luna pk one. Next stop Cedar point! Who's with me!?

Thank you so much for this. I really want to go on the DC Rivals Hypercoaster, even if I have to swallow several boxes of motion sickness tablets to do it. The last proper roller coaster I went on was the Big Dipper at Luna Park, Sydney- back when it was still made of wood. It’s been a long time between drinks.

Great list, Just finishing up a Qld holiday, you really need to try the leviathan at Seaworld, its very good.

My top favourites have definitely got to be the tower of terror, Dc rivals hyper coaster (especially backwards) and the leviathan

im 12 and i rode the big dipper 😂 my 18 year old sister was scared tbh i was nervous too but after you hop off me and my sisters wanted to go on again but we got a headache, the big dipper does not have shoulder protection so when the 360 loop comes your head pulls forwards 😪

superman escape looks like of those not-quite rita clones that intamin built in the '00s. surprisingly many of the accelerators follow that launch into figure-8 with s-hills type of layout, this one obviously has the extra top hat and has sacrificed the last bunny hill because the station is placed differently so they could put in the dark ride section before the launch. in this sense, even something like formula rossa is basically just scaled-up rita. it just has a lot of extra hills in the end because it has to make a very long way back to the station, but the basic idea of the layout is the same

I recentally went to movie and i saw this Dc rivals roller coaster, i was so scared to ride this coaster and one day i will bro. Thanks

I like how Sea World Australia is completely unrelated to the Seaworld parks here in the States yet is in almost all respects the same park as Seaworld San Antonio. Jet Rescue is Wave Breaker. Leviathan is Texas Stingray. Storm Coaster is Journey to Atlantis. And then SpongeBob's Boating School Blast is Super Grover's Box Car Derby. All they are missing is a mini-hyper and an invert.

Was lucky enough to ride the Scenic Railway right at sunset when I went to Melbourne last year

i recently went to gumbuya world, those new coasters look really fun and scary

Thing is I used to live right next door to the place for a while but only went after I moved elsewhere. Lol

Hello 👋 This is my personnel opinion on the top ten best coasters in Australia (When I am making this the Leviathan at Sea World has opened 10: Wild Mouse at Luna Park Sydney 9: Jet Rescue at Sea World 8: Steel Taipan at Dream World 7: Big Dipper at Luna Park Sydney 6: Storm Coaster at Sea World 5: Scooby-Doo Spooky Coaster Next Generation at Warner Bros Movie World 4: Green Lantern Coaster at Warner Bros Movie World 3: Superman Escape at Warner Bros Movie World 2: Leviathan at Sea World 1: DC Rivals Hypercoaster at Warner Bros Movie World

So I just got back to Melbourne from a trip to the Gold Coast and I did a quick trip to Sydney back in May. So now I've now ridden all of the Coasters on this list except for the Tower Of Terror. And yeah DC Rivals is on a whole other level. Scooby Doo was rough. I don't know if I was just annoyed by the fact it was my longest wait of the trip. So by the time I rode it. I found Superman Escape not that great. I didn't like the restraints too. They were banging into my neck. Sea World's Coasters were great. I can't for Leviathan. I reckon it'll be the number 2 best Coaster in Australia. Dreamworlds Coasters except for Steel Taipan were awful. Gold Coaster gave me a headache and was the only Coaster to make me feel nauseous. Motocoaster is just bad in everyway. The family Coaster was the 2nd Coaster in the park I'd rank my top 10 so far 1 DC Rivals 2 Steel Taipan 3 Big Dipper 4 Jetski 5 Green Lantern 6 Storm Coaster 7 Superman Escape 8 Thunderbolt (Defunct Dreamworld ride) 9 Metropolis (defunct Luna Park Melb ride) 10 either the roadrunner Coaster at Movie World or the Boomerang Coaster at Luna Park Syd BTW the new Coasters at Gumbuya World are Project Zero and it's where the Buzzsaw has been relocated to. It has Green track now. The other is T.N.T a Verkoma suspended family Coaster and has the same layout as Dragonflier at Dollywood. Victoria needs better Coasters but!

they should rmc scenic railway, that would be awesome

You know what makes me laugh I went on the superman coaster in movie world and you said it will keep your head back but when I went on it I kept smacking my chin like a million times on the seat thing that keeps you in the seat

Superman is an awesome coaster. Proud of WB

Did you ever ride the Demon at Australia's Wonderland (now demolished to build housing estate), or the cork screw which used to be at Seaworld? If so, where would they rank out of all the coasters you've ridden? I was last at Seaworld on the Gold Coast in 2004 they were building the Bermuda Triangle. Yesterday (Jan 2023) I visited again, but it had been demolished, so I never got to ride it.

Be glad you don't live in NZ with our 4 or 5 coasters. Love me some Superman Escape. It still holds up to the rest of the Intamin Accelerators out there in my opinion. Have done Kingda Ka, Formula Rossa, Stormrunner and Xcelerator. They're all different obviously, but Superman Escape is still amazing even though it doesn't have the fastest launch. Did the original Blue Fire about a month ago at Europa Park and it was pretty good. Yet to get on Steel Taipan though. DC Rivals is as good as we'll get down under. Even though DC Rivals is the best coaster in Australia, I still find myself enjoying Superman more.

As an enthusiast from the uk, I must say that you are lucky to have so many launch coasters but unlucky lack large coasters. In the uk the problem is that pretty much all coasters aren’t tall, generic or lack forces.

One of the two new coasters at Gumbuya world IS buzz saw! They bought it from dreamworld.

My son just is 130cms we did Joker 13 times today it is the most insane experience try and get either the front or the back for max rush

This was exactly my list before I moved from au to nz

GO ON THE ABYSS YOU'LL LOVE IT FR I'M IN WA

I saw me and my dad on the video of jet on here!

i love the storm cooaster

How intense are DC hypercoaster and Steel Taipan? I tried Blue Fire in Europa Park and thought it was alright but too smooth for me.

i know its not a coaster but the most terrifying ride in the gold coast is the giant drop. it makes rivals seem like a walk in the park

for me its best : dc rivals , leviathen , green lantern , bigg dipper , superman escape , jet rescue , road runner , storm out ofthe ones iv rode

I hope that Intamin can really step up in Australia.

I like it all but my fav is storm coaster

I hope that Mack can make Project Exodus at Thorpe Park in England just as good as DC Rivals looks like. If it turns out to be even better then I think it has a shot at being world's best, seeing how good DC Rivals is.

Leviathan is Def my number one in aus, very unfortunate you missed it in December

Hope you make it to the Abyss XD

We went to movie world today and honestly the Superman was super fast probably the scaryest besides the joker 1st drop which was mad 😆 I rode the demon in Australia wonderland theme park when I was a kid now I'm old I get scared

no need to worry guys the scooby-doo ride is currently upgrading a 4M upgrade i went on it and i was crying after (the old one ) as the scooby-doo is still in constuction❤

just came back the gold coast. i didnt want to ride dc rivals backwards because i felt for my mum paying $60 for me and my brother to ride it but now i regret it

How do you think I feel I live in Ireland with one theme park

I love living in Australia

Buzz saw was removed from dream-world and being relocated to a park in Victoria. Great video overall though

Isn't Buzzsaw being relocated to Gumbaya World?

What about the Titan from Expo '88!!! 😅😂

Least the Scooby ride is getting redone now.

bro the joker is the only hypercoaster in the southern hemisphere

went on project zero and TNT and gumbuya world. TNT is a good family coaster, good starter for people scared of coasters. project zero is the same as buzzsaw

Super man escape before the launch: Don’t worry folks, there’s only one way out of this mess, it’s back, I’ll push you out of here, fast, superman fast! (And then you go 100km/hr or 62mph.)

Comforting to know there are other Aussie coaster nerds that recognize our sad lot in life. Us West Aussies definitely have it worse, but at least Abyss is pretty great.

my list is this. #1 DCR and ST (they are both so different I like them the same) #2 Tower of Terror ll #3 green lantern #4 superman. (that launch is great but I feel like this ride is very overrated) #5 Scooby doo (very ruff at the end) have not been to any other parks is aus rn

Did you ever ride Arkham asylum before they removed it? I personally would have put it before superman if it wasn’t so bumpy as it was in its later years but I think it was definitely an amazing coaster worthy of the list! And have you seen the announcement of 2 new coasters for movieworld sadly they will be family coasters replacing Arkham but atleast we will have some new coasters to try

i dont know if u knew but the new green roller coaster at gumbya world is actually the buzzsaw from dreamworld as they sold it there instead of scrapping it

If DC rivals is one if the most thrilling you have been on, go to Fuji-Q Highlands, their coasters have broken several world records. e.g. "Do Dodonpa" which hits 112 km/ph in 1.6 secs (._. .

Do one on the states bro,

I’ve been on heaps of them

DC Rocks Too

Please do germany

Dude the scooby Doo ride has actually been closed

Leap the dips at Belmont Park is 120 years old

Im from NZ. Our single one, is short as can possibly be. But does do one twist and a loop. Its pathetic. Its when you look at fun parks you realize what a boon dock NZ really is. I like it here tho.

How to keep hat, sunglass, m phone while roller coaster

taipan is blue fire but orange

Only parks on this list are Luna Park, Sea World, Dreamworld and Warner Bros Movie World.

Where is the gold coaster

I'm surprise giant drop is not on this list.

Project Zero is Buzzsaw

If I’m being honest green lantern is scarier than dc rivals

Went on DC rivals 3 times I didn't care for the 90 min wait

Crazy to think I have 20 coasters 10 minutes from my front door at SFMM, when an entire continent only has 26 operating coasters. (also adjust the volume of your intro music, it is much louder than your commentary, it's a bit of a jump scare lol)
