Here is part 2 of my series on the best and worst coaster from each manufacturer! Here is Part 1 if you missed it: • The Best & Worst Coast... POVs without credit listed are courtesy of XCoaster
Airtime Thrills: Sorry my favorite RMC is Steel Vengeance Squidward: How original Airtime Thrills: It's also my favorite coaster overall Squidward: Daring today aren't we!
Theme Park Crazy: I mean no harm to any of the manufacturers that created these coasters. Airtime Thrills: Dude Skyline, just quit, these coasters are awful. Me: XD
Thorpe coaster photos I’m afraid that the coaster will be insanely good but it’ll have been too over hyped for it to possibly meet anybody’s expectations.
Sean Glassman heck yeah Busch Gardens Tampa! My home part too. Iron gwazi is going to be so cool even if it’s not top rated. It was fun when it was all wood so it will be even more fun with it being hybrid and smoother tracks.
@@ray-rayrambles3263 Imma go and disagree with that :p Japanese TOGOs are great. Its a shame that American TOGO wasnt that good. I wished TOGO was still producing coasters though. Wouldve been interesting, having a mayor manufacturer from Asia as well.
I caught someones hat on mystic. Someone in the row ahead of us had a had on and I said he's gonna lose his hat. My dad didn't believe me. So towards the halfway mark to the turn around, his hat fell off and landed on the seat of our row, I grabbed it and held onto it for dear life with hands up. Gave it back to him on the break run. My dad was surprised it happened.
That happened to me on Wicked Cyclone the difference was that it was a rainbow poop emoji hat and I wasn’t able to grab it. The rider said they didn’t know the coaster inverts even though you could see the 0 G stall from the queue line
I lost my hat on the original Cyclone at SFNE, me and my dad were riding in the front row and the hat flew off. When we were leaving the ride a guy caught up to us and gave me my hat. He caught it in midair after the initial drop. Pretty cool
Copperhead was a let down? Aw. When I went to carowinds this season and that ride was by far the highlight of the trip. The ejector air is straight up aggressive, the launches were weak, but fun, the hang time was impressive, the laterals were on point, and that Stengel dive in the back row was something special. #2 at the park for me. Maybe my coaster taste is weird tho, but it’s in my top 10.
I rode Max Force at Six Flags Great America when it first opened and the launch was INSANE. You would hear this booming throughout the park and it was just the launching sound
The Togo part made me laugh so hard. I've only ridden two wooden coasters in my life, and I like GhostRider way more than Apocalypse (Termimator Salvation.) I need to reride both though now that they have been retracked and see if I have the same opinion
5:00 Cu Chulainn has joined the chat I have ridden it, although its a bit unpopular, but its a smooth, fast-paced long ride with tons of ejector and floater airtime. Also a Gravity Group. Great ride
Other great Mack Rides (Internet consensus, because I haven't ridden any of these): Helix - Liseberg and Icon - Blackpool Pleasure Beach. Bucket List, both.
I haven’t ridden ROAR in years so I can’t speak on how much the ride experience has degraded over time, but as a kid when it was new I had a season pass and I never knew a wooden coaster could be so much fun. It was great! I would love to see it RMC’d though. Six Flags America needs it!
@@AirtimeThrills yeah the UK got no love on these videos. The Smiler, Nemesis, Icon and Wicker Man are shouts for top 5 by each of their respective manufacturers
Wickerman looks good but tbh I found it boring... Smiler is fantastic however nemesis is a bit bland now. Icon...wow that's an amazing ride! Definitely worth riding!
I need to lower my expectations for coasters my expectations for coasters are high because Carowinds is my home park and fury 325 tops it but not every ride is like Fury 325.
I rode roar at least 10 times a year and as long as you're near the front, it's not rough at all. In fact each year it gets a lot smoother due to some solid maintenance, I also love the pops of airtime and strong laterals (imo)
I agree. I rode it last night in 45 degrees weather and it was fantastic. I've never been able to enjoy a ride on Wildcat at Hersheypark, though. I definitely think it's rougher than Roar.
I hated the part when he said he’ll ride Cornball Express next year, knowing what we know now...😪. Edit: INDIANA BEACH IS REOPENING SO WE CAN ALL GO RIDE CORNBALL EXPRESS!! WOOOO
Sugar Wolff it’s ok. Worth the experience but not worth repeat rides. 2nd to last row is the best row on rivals. If you are travelling from far I’d probably ride backwards twice but that’s it.
I still have a lot of coasters to ride. But for now my favorite B&M is Griffon at Busch Gardens Williamsburg while my least favorite is probably Silver Bullet at Knott's Berry Farm or Rogarou at Cedar Point. I think Cyclops at Mt. Olympus is my least favorite CCI while my favorite is Zeus also at Mt. Olympus. I've only ridden one coaster by The Gravity Group and that's Hades at Mt Olympus (although I rode it in 2008 before it was Hades 360 though). The best GCI I rode believe it or not was actually Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa. Now that it's Iron Gwazi though, my favorite is Apocalypse at Six Flags Magic Mountain. The only reason Renegade at Valleyfair is my least favorite GCI is because I haven't ridden anymore after that. Timber hawk at Wild Waves from S&S while my least favorite is The Joker at Six Flags Great America (if you're prone to motion sickness, don't ride this at the beginning of the day). I've only ridden one Togo and that's the Shockwave at Kings Dominion (but I bet Big Apple Coaster at New York New York may be worst). Pony Express at Knott's Beery Farm is my favorite Zamperla while I think Ragin Cajun at Six Flags Great America/Six Flags America (not because it was bad (it wasn't) I just need to ride more of them). My favorite Gerstlauer is SpongeBob SquarePants Rock Bottom Plunge at Nickelodeon Universe inside Mall of America while my least favorite is Pandemonium at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. My favorite Mack Rides coaster is Manta at SeaWorld San Diego while my least favorite is probably Coast Rider at Knott's Berry Farm. I've only ridden two RMC coasters and I like them both but I like Goliath at Six Flags Great America more than Texas Giant at Six Flags Over Texas.
I really liked your concept with these videos. It got me thinking about what I would pick. B&M: You might find Firebird to top Vortex as the worst. For me, Firebird was far worse. CCI: I haven't ridden Legend or NMR, so Boss is my worst. I have ridden Cornball Express. Very good, but it doesn't top GhostRider or Shivering Timbers. I do have it ahead of Boulder Dash. GG: Voyage will probably top Hades 360 once I ride it. I got a good ride on Wooden Warrior, and I might put Kentucky Flyer barely below it. GCI: I got a smooth ride on Roar, but it was boring, so it's at the bottom. I'm a huge Prowler fan, as I love it's layout and airtime strength. S&S: I have Powder Keg above both Steel Hawg & Maxx Force. I guess one of the freespins would have to be my least favorite. Togo: I've only ridden one, Ultra Twister at Astroworld, and I loved it. Zamperla: Very unpopular, but Time Warp is by far my favorite. The only others I've ridden are forgettable kiddie/family coasters, and I actually liked Time Warp. Gerstlauer: Monster by far my favorite. Mack: agreed on both accounts. RMC: agreed, although I slightly prefer Railblazer to WW.
Blake Whitfield Steeplechase wasn’t that bad when I rode it. Now, it wasn’t super smooth, but it wasn’t terribly rough either. Only a little rattle in my opinion.
Airtime thrills you've inspired me to become a enthusiast (I'm 12) Unfortunately my family is kinda poor so I've only ridden Vekoma Zamperla and Hyperspace mountain, Matterhorn Bobsleds and The Coney Island Cyclone. Also I live a mile away from Luna Park. The Thunderbolt has AMAZING ejector airtime. Soarin Eagle is just NO. Steeplechase has a pretty nice launch. The Tickler is Okay. The Family Coaster, The Circus Coaster is pretty rough. Also make sure you ride the Slingshot. It is like the regular ones on steroids.
You almost got me there for a second. As you say "This was only "Their" second coaster when it opened". As I wanted to believe "their" was referring to the park of Holiday World which the subject was currently on. And I wanted to Rage that you wanted to believe that "Their" was only one other coater before Voyager. LMAO. When "their" was referring to the Gravity Group. OK now that I wasted all that time researching. On to something productive. lol.
Thorpe coaster photos Time Warp was originally named Tomb Raider: The Ride until 2007. The ride was actually themed to the two movies made by Paramount more than the original video games.
Thorpe coaster photos Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness was a game released in 2003. It was so bad that Core, the original developer of Tomb Raider, shut down. Plus Paramount blamed it for Lara Croft Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life not doing as much in the box office as hoped.
My favorite GCI has got to be (glued [j/k]) Terminator at Magic Mountain (amd no, I don't give a fruit what they changed the name to) I feel like it's more of a complete ride then Mystic Timbers; I still like Mystic a lot, but it just feels somewhat incomplete (and no, I'm not considering the shed in this). That said, I also have no problem with vest restraints or someone shorter rides if they pack a decent punch (like terminator), so I feel like I would rank the Raptors higher than you did; maybe they could be longer (really not sure what how crazy their layouts are 👀) but they're still not bad. As for what I would put in the bottom, it would probably come down to some small technicality like yours did though; we'll have to see as Im able to experience more (also, iron gwazi is looking at Steve's number one spot, not sure if it's going to get it, but it has definitely set out for it)
hahahaha Skyline Just quit. These coasters are awful!!! lol I actually thought you were about to say something positive about their new stuff at IAAPA this year. But nope! Great vid. I was looking forward to part 2. Good follow up. I still think its hard to be worse than Wildcat at HP, but I'll take your word for it .... for now. =)
I absolutely adore The Legend (I even rank it #2 in HW) but I guess I can forgive that in light of your other best and worst, all of which are great picks.
You didn’t talk about Pinfari. But I forgot they don’t have a good coaster beside there wackyworms.Do you think the jersey devil coaster will be good? And It “Knotts” surprising that coast rider suck
Standup Coasters were the DUMBEST coasters ever made. I never got it. Case in point when I'm a kid getting my crotch crushed cuz I barely exceeded the height restriction years ago.
I was so suprised the predator and the mind eraser was in the last one, Darien my home park but I agree that they are pretty bad rides and the predator should get the rmc treatment asap. Btw my very first rollercoaster was ride of steel
Awww why everybody gotta hate on Roar? It doesn't "meander" for one thing, and it's smooth enough for me ride it 4 times in a row one visit without getting a headache. People talk how "rough" it is and I honestly just don't see it. Roughest ride I've gotten from a coaster in that park was Wild One on a wet day. Literally beat me up. Walked off of that ride with legit darkass bruises. Typically its much smoother though. Maybe y'all just getting Roar on bad days? Idk man, but it's never been too rough for me. Edit: Heck yeah, Rajin Cajun tho! Nice to see my local park make the "best" list too!
Gerstlauer (sorry for typo): Try the world record for the most inversions, being a good thrill ride even after it's latest and most damaging accident many years ago. May not be number 1, but it's neat even if you haven't ridden it. This comment also doubles as a trivia question. The answers are: A. Laughing Gas B. The Terror Ball C. The Smiler D. Oblivion I will like to the correct replies (or some other reply, you don't need to answer)
You will love Cornball Express at Indiana Beach! I love about 30min from the park and have ridden it more times than I can count. The drop in the back is crazy with both ejector airtime and lateral g's. The main purpose of the ride is to provide insane lateral and a few good headchoppers
11:44 Man, you're so right 🙌🏼 This summer I had about 30 rides on 'Der Schwur des KÄRNAN' and it never gets boring. So make sure you come over one day.
Giving my comment from someone like me who has ridden DC Rivals Hypercoaster last month I must say it really is one of the best Mack coasters in the world as it was really insane, there is so much airtime especially at the end with the ejector airtime hills, I would love to try out Time Traveler one day when I head to the US.
How can you be so sure that Eejanaika is better than Dinoconda? From the POV videos of each coaster that I've seen they look pretty evenly matched to me.
I personally count Ghostrider as a GCI but I can understand why you see it as a CCI. My personal favorite CCI is Shivering Timbers at Michigan’s Adventure. That’s definitely an underrated ride.
