The 8 WORST roller coaster manufacturers (ranking the manufacturers pt. 1) 

Verbolten actually really surprised me. It's smooth, relatively fast, and the launches are quite powerful. It would be nice if there were more like it.

>Worst wooden manufacture and its not even close. RCCA: Am I a joke to you.

If you rode the Togos in Japan, your opinion will change. I’d say pinfari is the worst

Maurer Spinning Coasters are great.

Verbolten is an incredibly fun coaster that includes the novelty of both being partially indoors and having a surprise freefall track. I dunno if its novel enough to boost its manufacturer’s rating, but it deserves to be recognized for the fun and unique ride it is!

Well, Togo's creations in Japan like Bandit or the Togo Twisters seem to be really good rides. Not top tier probably, but still very fun. From Giovanola i've heard that Anaconda is really good and that Titan and Goliath are really smooth. I don't think they are as bad as you make them out to be.

Few things. One is that you are a very underrated content creator and you deserve more fame. Two is you went too harsh on Giovanola. I have ridden Titan and I can say it isn’t that bad in my opinion. Sure it has almost no Airtime but it has its moments. The bottom of the drop has some amazing G forces and the helixes are very forceful I had trouble putting my hands out. Lets not forget how fast they go. It truly feels extremely fast. Only let down I have with it is the damn break run that slams the ride to a halt. But over all it is a extremely smooth and forceful coaster. And the lap bars are also amazing too you can barely feel them. As for Maurer I can say their X Coaster is complete crap. Very short and painful ride with their lap bars. They stable me so much it is hard to breathe. Only thing it has for it is the hangtime which isn’t that much. This was just my personal opinions and I hope you gain more subscribers soon.

The hyper GTX is really sad because I recently found out that lightning run only cost 7 million dollars. The fact that a company can't sell an amazing coaster for less than an RMC conversation more than one is just plain sad. Chance rides is honestly probably the most depressing manufacturer because every time they try a thrill coaster it's either god-awful (toboggan coaster) and sells a lot or god tier (hyper GTX) but never sells.

Giovanola actually has a pretty good looking invert in South Africa

You are way too harsh on Giovanola. Anaconda is a very well liked inverted roller coaster. Their hypers look underrated and the only thing bad about them looks to be the harsh trim brakes.

Just came back from my first trip to Knoebels and to be honest Impulse by Zierer was surprisingly incredibly smooth and exciting. it was the perfect fit for that small park and plot of land, coming off of the vertical lift and looking straight at a mountain was really really cool. Haven’t gotten a chance to ride Verbolten yet, as my last trip to Busch Gardens Williamsburg was March of 2012 and it wasn’t open, but i’m hoping to get a couple rides on it next time I go!

El-P and Aesop Rock playing in the background. I dig it. Also you’re making great videos. But yeah. Now I can’t stop playing close attention to the music you have playing in the background 😂

Giovanola didn't supply track for B&M, they supplied it for Intamin. At that time Walter Bolliger & Claude Mabillard were working for the company, so Giovanola is technically the ones responsible for the bobsleds, stand ups like Cobra and Shockwave (both Magic Mountain and Drayton Manor), and *shudder* Z-Force/Flashback. However, Flashback was the first coaster to ever use B&M track, and the duo improved so much from that ride. Plus, Anaconda at Gold Reef city looks like an awesome ride, and they may have actually built a 4th coaster known as Tower Of Terror in the same park.

Did Giovanola really manufacture track for B&M? I know they did for Intamin, and I know that both Walter Bolliger and Claude Mabillard who later founded B&M worked there, but I don't think they ever made tracks for B&M. The B&Ms for the US were (and I think still are) manufactured by a company in Ohio, possibly some none-US ones as well. I know they found a Czech company later to manufacture track for their Eruopean projects. There are possibly more companies involved since B&M don't have any manufacturing facilities on their own (quite amazing for a top-notch roller coaster company), but I am not aware of any cooperation between Giovanola and B&M.

My top 3 manufacturers are intamin RMC and GCI

Actually Giovanola were a subcontractor for Intamin. Walter Bolliger and Claude Mabillard worked for Giovanola and then left and founded B&M

When we went to Universal the rip ride rocket was rough for some reason.the saving grace is the ride audio and secret sound track.

Been on Impulse and Verbolten, but I never realized they were made by the same manufacturer. Verbolten’s two best elements is the track drop inside the show building and then the big drop down onto the water, but everything else was meh. Impulse is a great ride! Definitely a smart addition to Knoebels. Speaking of Knoebels, since they have the Phoenix, have you thought of doing a video on the best oldest operating coasters?

I kinda like Maurer, solely for the Winjas Twins at Phantasialand. Indoor, semi-dueling, well-themed spinning coasters with really cool elements.

400th subscriber, nice video, despite Aerodynamics making some rough coasters in the past, I still love the company. Not sure if it's nostalgia or what but I just love their rides

Coastertoons: says hyper gtx failed A new park in Kansas: im about to end this whole mans career

Ive actually been on one of Zamperla's thunderbolts (and also some of their flat rides) and they are actually really fun, it was actually my first "extreme" coaster so I may be a little biased but overall a good coaster

You might want to re-evaluate your rankings after: Skyline becomes reborn, Maurer Spike coasters become common, Hot Wheels Twin Mill Racer opens (launched inverting Hyper-GTX), and Zamperla comes out of nowhere with Top Thrill 2

ive been on 2 giovanola's they are amazing rides, goliaths drop never ends but the break run kills the ride, after the break run is fun and its pretty much the same with titan

Your channel is really really good

Pretty good video overall but one thing. Giovanola didn’t take any business from B&M. Walter Bolliger and Claude Mabillard used to work for Giovanola then left to form B&M. That’s why the track designs are practically the same. Also I don’t think Giovanola ever supplied track for B&M but they were a subcontractor for Intamin which is why if you look at the dreaded Intamin Space Divers they look like they have B&M track

6:50 he rlly didn’t notice the pun lmao

Literally didn’t even notice until right when I was about to click off the video, but this video was made exactly one year ago, pretty cool

Wicked is indeed a kickass ride and I'm shocked there aren't way more Zierer rides like it. It's such a great attention grabber when you're outside of the park.

X coasters are pretty fun, mostly for the feeling of coming to a stop upside-down. It’s something you don’t get to experience on most rides. Anyway the one I rode is in Australia it’s called Buzzsaw.

Unpopular opinion, lightning run is an elite roller coaster because of its air time and how smooth it is and the first drop in the back row. Yeah I haven’t rode more than 50 roller coaster’s but being the best ride in the park with Storm Chaser in the same park. Both rides have elite airtime but I think Lightning run has better ejector airtime and more variety of hills unlike Storm Chaser. They’re both in my top six (I’ve only been to Kings Island, Cedar Point, and Kentucky Kingdom, Carowinds and Disney World, which Disneys coasters are family rides which, go crazy I guess) so I know which rides are good and I strongly believe Lightning run is elite. Yeah I know you’ve never been on Lightning Run and in the POV it’s not that interesting compared to Storm Chaser, but if you ride Lightning Run, you’ll know why I think it’s elite, that’s all I’m gonna say.

Don't sleep on Verbolten. That ride is significantly more intense than you'd think. It's one of only three coasters that makes me gray out at some point during the ride; the other two are I-305, and Montu. I honestly don't understand why people call it a family coaster, to be honest.

I disagree with you on Giovanola, Anacoda at gold Reef City looks really good. If they had just stuck to good inverts like that, they might still be around.

If Magic Mountain was to ever push for a B&M hyper as a replacement for the Giovanola(Goliath, possibly Goliath 2.0), how would you would want the layout to be?

For skyline you should've something like - well they dont have fujiyama or Bandit, but since they are still new, they can have a shot at redemption (like vekoma)

i have a lot of fun on maurer's spinning coaster dragons fury. also g-force at drayton manor looked insane

Actually, I heard that the people that founded B&M used to work for Giovanola but left and used their track design.

A few things: Togo coasters in Japan are known for not being that bad and a few are pretty well liked Zamperla should probably be ranked lower because of their flying coaster and the fact that their thrill coasters have been extremely rough and shaky from they day they opened

Togo looks like something I would make on Roller Coaster Tycoon when I was 5 😂

What about Pinfari? Aside from making the world's most common coaster type, the wacky worm, their more custom coasters are from what I head so horribly rough, it makes old Vekomas look smoother than a glass pane smeared with butter

My only complaint is that skyline and Togo are below Dinn and RCCA. RCCA and Dinn were the worst by far.

Lol, just noticed the Aesop Rock music in the background.

Skyline is basically an updated version of those super looper/ring of fire type rides. You can’t compare them with other manufacturers and say their layout is too boring. It’s not supposed to be a real coaster, but more like a flat ride.

You should make an updated version of this

8:29 Coastoons: They don't have any terrible coasters. Me: What about Swiss Toboggan? 1:27 Coastoons: I have no idea who designed them. Me: Premier Rides. (Togo also designed TBAC's shoulder pads only in the first train)

The larger Skywarp Eclipse at least looks decent. Also I might be biased as it's from my home park, but Titan is overhated. Sure the midcourse is awful, but it is a *beast* when it comes to positive gs.

SFOT is my home park... Titan is the only hyper I've ridden but I still find it really fun, it doesn't have much airtime, but the positive g's are insane. It certainly isn't the best coaster out there, but it's overhated

I've only ridden one Dinn, (T-Wolf @ WOF) and while I would love for it to become RMC Iron Wolf, I think the Dinn hate is a little unfair.

Only dinn I have been on is thunder run at Kentucky Kingdom. Not necessarily rough or anything, just not much to write home about it

The american togos layouts look like the first coasters i made in planet coaster. Awkward drop angles airtime hills in places that not only dont make sense but also dont give you airtime.

Togo reminds me of my planco coasters before I learned what smoothing was

Why does everyone dis on Giovanola? I’ve ridden Goliath and I think it’s actually a really fun ride. People say there is no air time but no there’s two moments of some of the best floater air. I’ve only ever rode this ride in the back btw. The first is the drop. I know it’s not the steepest and doesn’t come into it at some good speed but back row with some airtime room is incredible. You get launched out of you’re seat and stay there the whole drop and get butterflies in your stomach which doesn’t happen on many coasters for me. The second moment of air is the hill after the second drop of the turn around. This is the perfect amount of floater air to feel like your hovering. Other floater or moments don’t feel like that. Not to mention how smooth this ride is. It blows me away every time. Also the helix at the end that people hate. I like this because it’s so funny seeing your friends blackout for the first time and I can’t stop laughing. This ride is just a pure fun ride which I don’t get the same feel for on other rides. I’m not saying this is one of the best coasters but I like so much. This is probably because my expectations were low from everyone hating on it. But what an overhated ride. THANKS FOR READING MY FULL ON ESSAY ABOUT THIS RIDE😂

Dinn is rough. I road Mean streak before it was replaced and it was rough.

I nearly screamed when I saw windjammer and got severe PTSD of my first time riding it

Skyline isn’t bad as what many people think of them. The Kid Flash coasters at both SFFT and SFOG received positive reviews. Because of it, the P’ghetti Bowl may be Skyline’s best selling model for more parks to get

Sincerely i respect your opinion but poor Maurer, I've never tried a spinning coaster better than theirs' (Aside from Mack's extreme). Comparing it to Zamperla man... It's a bit of an insult 😂. Never tried rip, ride, rockit but rode some launched X-car and they're lit af. They also make some spike coaster that are super cool.

Maurer does have some really good spinners though especially in the uk

Maurer makes some very interesting shit. I loved both Shock and Abismo, but to my knowledge they’re the best ones Maurer has to offer. Also do people know they made a looper?

The rip ride rocket has so many issues so it got a bad rap from it and how it does not truly invert very interesting loop.

Now I’m hyper fixated on Rip Ride Rocket: I don’t get why people shit on rip ride rocket. I personally loved it. I think the on bored audio adds an interesting touch and the vertical lift is made my heart drop. The block break really don’t bother me that much, I think they give you a little time to breath in between elements. It may not be needed but it’s a nice touch. What do you guys think? 🤔

I’ve only ever rode the rockit, mummy, and all the universal Harry Potter rides, but I completely chickened out the hulk and velocicoaster and I’m completely mad at myself! Especially because hulk only had a 30 minute wait when I went and I went a week after velocicoasters official opening.

I dunno why lots of people says that intamin restraints are awful, yes, there are some of them that sucks but the T bars and the new lap bar model of the last 4 years are absolutely awsome

Me: din corp is great Coaster fans: how dear you step foot on this earth

The Maurer Spinners Winjas Fear and Force at phantasialand are great!

I once mistook the tower coaster for a eurofighter XD

Have you actually ridden a Giovanola hyper? They're fantastic. I for one prefer them to B&M hypers, as I don't really care for airtime. EDIT: Plus, Giovanola legitimately made the smoothest rides on the planet. When I say they're perfectly smooth, I mean they're *perfectly* smooth. It feels like the trains are magnetically suspended or something. Witchcraft.

My Top 5: 5: Chance Rides 4: Dinn Corporation 3: Togo 2: Skyline 1: RCCA (Roller Coaster Corporation of America)

Togo kinda looks like if you made a roller coaster in roller coaster tycoon and then put it in the real world with real world people who are actually alive

Ay TBH you could have put this all into one video and I would have enjoyed it. For subjects like these I actually prefer 30+ min videos, but that's just me. Also I know how difficult working on a 30+ minute long video can be both technically and mentally!

0:10 that voice crack 😂

skyline focuses on coasters under 2 million, and now they can build some family coasters, other than the second version of the already available models (the built ones) with better restraints sadly none of them were built yet, but in 2023 a coasters made by GCI and Skyline will open

Actually, giovanola was also a subcontractor for intamin.

wished we have B&M hyper smh

Technically Z-Force was an Intamin project and Giovanola was subcontracted to build it. Walter Bollinger and Claude Mabilard designed the track and took it with them when they formed B&M. So @ 5:06 Coastoons is wrong. Sorry to correct you

Wicked is fantastic, and honestly brings Zierer up at least one tier on my list.

Ok, Zamperla did make a sizable push with their double heart model. I hope one goes to Frontier City.

Remember when SFDK Marketed Harley Quinn as having a “combined speed” of 75 mph?

Seeing how Skyline hasn’t made an actual coaster complete on its own I don’t feel they deserve on this list anywhere at all just yet. And honestly as for the track for their skyward rides, they were manufactured by RMC, snd honestly I think RMCs track bending has always been off.

Chance hyper GT X is a good ride but other then lighting run and the new one in Arizona coming it’s sad they can’t sell more

i love goliath, i wanna know what a b&m hyper feels like cause goliath is great

togo’s coasters look like me at 6 years old building coasters on rct3😭😭😭😭

I've ridden 3 Togo's and all of them I rate far above the complainers. I rode Viper back in my bulletproof days so can't speak for smoothness but it was fun. Shockwave (1986) was a standup by a company that "got" what a standup is about: using your vulnerability to make it seem like you're going to die as you're whipped about; not too many turns. Big Apple is OK after the part that should be the best, but how is this the one still standing?

Honestly what if intamin retracked/rebuilt the manhattan express that would make it actually somehwat good i hope

Dinn Corporation reconstructed Phoenix at Knoebel's. How did they fall so badly?

impossible to look past the block zones on rip ride block it, its every 15s...

Didn't Dinn relocate Phoenix, Skyliner, and Wild One? I'm fairly sure they did. That to me puts them up a lot higher than they are for most enthusiasts. I didn't think Timberwolf was that bad (and I rode it before GCI added that overbanked turn) but given how much I hated Mean Streak I can understand them being on a worst list, as much as I love that they relocated the rides I mentioned earlier (Skyliner is VERY underrated, 3 airtime moments at least as good as Jack Rabbit's doubble down, I dare say Skyliner is possibly the best woodie in PA although I haven't ridden Phoenix yet).

What about Dynamic Attractions?

soooo the horrible restraints on Big apple are from premier rides.... it got the premier rides trains in 2006 as well as new brakes in 2004. if they fix the transitions and ditch the crappy OTSRs it could actually be pretty good

ok so the 3rd giovanola is an invert in africa that's pretty good but yea. Goliath pulls good positive forces in the second half but no coaster should be built that requires a full and complete stop unless it's to duel

I really like Philadelphia toboggan coasters, they made one of my favorite roller coasters ever.

Titan isn’t the best but it’s pretty fantastic and pulls some serious Gs. I seriously think Giovanola was a miss on this list.

Those things on that Togo coaster...neck bangerz...those trains were designed be premier. So get premier involved.

Skylines main schtick is actually designing coasters for GCI.

Where is RCCA? At least Dinn coasters didn’t send people to ER like Son of Beast or the original Rattler at Fiesta Texas. RCCA woodies make Dinn coasters look like the greatest ever built when their rides opened. And the pacing on RCCA coasters make Dinn coasters look like a dragster then a snail. Search up POVs of RCCA woodies and you’ll see why I think they are the Togo of wooden roller coasters.

Seems like the Skyline coasters are just modern takes on those Larson Loops!🤣 honestly a traditional Larson loop is probably more fun!

Its not fair judging togo by its american coasters. In japan they make great rides.

I have ridden Predator at Darien lake and hated it it is considered one of the roughest coasters in the world and that is true it is made by the dinn corporation

Oh yeah and Pinfari I forgot about that one too 💀 it’s pretty yikes

Togo's rides in japan look top tier. Bandit, fujiyama, the ultra twisters, they all look amazing. Also you have togo to thank for magnum so I don't think it deserves to be last, or even close to it. If you're only talking about US then yeah but I don't think you're only talking about US

At least Din and Togo built rides that were structurally sound. Can't say that about RCCA.
