I just got a chance to ride Candymonium a couple of weeks ago. First ride was front left seat and it was a really good ride. Next time through we were closer to the back of the train and the airtime was amplified. Loved the ride and it is a good warmup before you go to the yellow monster in the hollow.
Good list . Perhaps when you have time you can divide a list of top 5 favorite woodies , top 5 steel , top 5 invert coaster and top 5 RMC's . And I'm sure most of your viewers would like to see your top 10 Amusement parks since you have a doctorates degree in that area .
The ten coasters that I have done (- kiddy coasters) Oblivion Spinball Th13teen Mine train Wickerman Chicken coaster (at great yarmouth) Train coaster (at great yarmouth) Solar powered coaster (in wales) Blue one at blackpool Mouse coaster (great yarmouth)

I commented on another of this channel's videos, regarding my love of my home state of New Jersey as a coaster mecca. We have Kingda Ka, Nitro, and El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure. I also did my medical fellowship in Cincinnati, Ohio, so I also went to Cedar Point a couple times. Truly, SFGA and CP are two of the greatest theme parks in the world. If you love coasters, visit these US states in the summer. New Jersey also has Atlantic City, the Jersey shore, and easy train access to New York City and Philadelphia. Ohio, I would visit around the time of the Kentucky derby. Cedar point is on Lake Erie in Sandusky, OH. Cincinnati is literally the hat that sits on Kentucky's head, so it's a good place to stay if you want to do both Cedar Point and the derby. Go to Sandusky for CP, drive to Cincinnati and stay overnight. Rest up, have a nice brunch (Cincinnati has great brunches and German cuisine), and go to the KD. When you go to Kentucky, have some BBQ and bourbon, wear a ridiculous hat and go to the derby! Mint julips are misleading! They sound like a refreshing cocktail, but they are full of booze and unforgiving in that hot sunshine. Be forewarned and hydrate well! Enjoy NJ/NY/PA and/or OH/KY! if you do come. And again, remember #jerseydontpumpgas
The second and (25%) faster version of the ride. The original version at Disney World is probably number 3 at DW (behind Rock 'N Roller Coaster and Expedition Everest)
My list, btw I haven't done much especially away from UK 1 Icon (Blackpool) 2 Raptor (Gardaland) 3 Wicker Man (Alton Towers) 4 Big one (Blackpool) 5 Nemesis (Alton towers) 6 Revolution (Blackpool) 7 Oblivion the black hole(Gardaland) 8 Astro storm (Brean theme park) 9 Millennium coaster(fantasy islands) 10 THIRTEEN (Alton Towers)
What a great list! I have only been on two of those , Fury 325 and The Voyage. Hopefully Steel Vengeance this summer. And all those others from Europe look amazing, I would love to get there. My top ten... 10. Kinda Ka 9. Copperhead Strike 8. The Beast 7. Intimidator 6. Storm Chaser 5.Twisted Cyclone 4. El Toro 3. Lightning Rod 2. The Voyage 1. Fury 325
I took my 10 yr old son to Alton Towers this weekend and we did the 5k run :) We saw you there :) It was our first time at a theme park and we went on Smiler, Rita, Oblivion, Wickerman and Galactica :) Favourite was smiler, but now I am obsessed with videos like this, looking for our next day out together :)
Here’s my top ten. FYI my credit count is 106. Steel Vengeance Voyage Maverick Lightning Rod Outlaw Run Top Thrill Dragster The Monster Time Traveller Mr Freeze The Beast
Not really surprising given it is the top 10 list from a guy that lives in Europe. The coasters that you ride the most tend to be at the top of the favorites list.
@@rich7447 The ones you ride the most, perhaps, and the ones that were formative for you as favorites. Shawn has ridden coasters all over the world, and what he likes is his prerogative - my little tally was in fun and not meant as a criticism, just as I wouldn’t criticize anyone’s list as coaster rating is totally subjective.
@@StamfordBridge Sorry. I didn't mean to come off as criticizing. It is just something that I have noticed when it comes to the favorites that go into people's lists. Generally a coaster that you ride on multiple days is more likely to make it onto a list of favorites over one that you only get the chance to ride once or twice. I wasn't really commenting on the tally as much as local vs more distant. I have both UK and US citizenship btw, but my favorites list is biased towards East Coast and Mid-West US coasters.
My Current Top 10 as of the end of 2020: 1. Steel Vengeance - Cedar Point 2. Lightning Rod- Dollywood 3. Fury 325- Carowinds 4. Maverick- Cedar Point 5. X2- Six Flags Magic Mountain 6. Outlaw Run- Silver Dollar City 7. Twisted Colossus- Six Flags Magic Mountain 8. The Voyage- Holiday World 9. Storm Chaser- Kentucky Kingdom 10. Iron Rattler- Six Flags Fiesta Texas Top Thrill Dragster is #19 on my list. I actually have Magnum at #11 and Millennium at #12, so Dragster is my 5th favorite coaster at Cedar Point. I rode the Voyage in 2018 on a day I didn't feel the greatest. I need to go back for Holiwood Nights for the trimless night rides. I would expect that it would go up in my rankings.
Awesome list. Awesome video. You are really an authority on the subject in my mind, and a I hope to ride as many of these as possible in the future. I have gotten worn out on the most local rides that I've been able to frequent, and need some new coasters in my life. I hope to go to cedar point before the cold season. Thanks so much. Cheers mate
The Nemesis poster you have behind you I have too from 1994. 😁 Preferred the original logo (and track paint scheme). Great list by the way, can’t wait to get on some of these.
My top 10: 10. Twisted Colossus- SF Magic Mtn 9. Behemoth- Canada's Wonderland 8. Top Thrill Dragster- Cedar Point 7. Ghostrider- Knotts Berry Farm 6. Phantom's Revenge- Kentwood 5. Millennium Force- Cedar Point 4. Fury 325- Carowinds 3. Maverick- Cedar Point 2. Intimidator 305- Kings Dominion' 1. Steel Vengeance- Cedar Point
@Andrew Lamb @theme Park Worldwide I totally agree with # 1 Not only is Knoebels a great retirement home for coasters and unique antique rides . It's a great retirement park for older coaster enthusiasts like myself who have become burned out from mega theme parks like Cedar Fair ,Disney and 6 Flags .
@Andrew Lamb Having been to Alton towers, I would replace it with portaventura, spain. I have been to both parks and found portaventura was much bigger and there was more to do. Nice list tho
Having just watched an official POV of Steel Vengeance I can understand why the pacing blows you away. If you do not count the bunny hills at the start there are 23 air time moments that you can hear the front bogies slamming down into the rail as the air time ends.
I’ve only been to Blackpool and Alton towers so for the ones I’ve been on I’d say 5:infusion 4:Rita 3:nemisis 2:the big one 1:smiler I would say oblivion but it’s a bit short
Just got back from Alton Towers , my ultimate coaster would be a combination of Start speed of Rita, drop of Oblivion , then all of Smiler but as that doesn’t exist I’d pick Smiler.
I have only ridden 48 coaster so its not that much, but here are my top 10: 10. Anubis The Ride 9. Troy 8. Hals-Über-Kopf 7. Lost Gravity 6. Black Mamba 5. Fēnix 4. Goliath 3. Karacho 2. Taron 1. Untamed
Finally went back to Cedar Point, I live pretty close but only ever went once while I was in middle school. Coasters definitely aren’t my favorite from of entertainment, but it was fun trying out many of the coasters for the first time. I definitely prefer the shorter ones though. I’m going to guess you ranked the Cedar Creek Mine Ride a lot lower than I did lol.
my top ten 1 fenix 2 troy 3 speed of sound 4 untamed 5 goliath 6 the flying dutchman 7 dwervelwind 8 joris and the dragon 9 formule x 10 bron 1898 but this sumer i'm going to phantasialand so i think this park will shake my list upp a lot
¡Amazing and wonderful list with several changes from the last year! It´s weird for me (I´m Spanish) to watch Shambala better than Fury 325 because Fury 325 is my bucket list number one and I hope it could be one of the betters coasters in the world and I have not Shambala between my Top 15....anyway this is my Top 10 list: 10- Balder (Liseberg) 09- Gatekeeper (Cedar Point) 08- Hyperion (Energylandia) 07- Taron (Phantasialand) 06- Millenium Force (Cedar Point) 05- Top Thrill Dragster (Cedar Point) 04- Untamed (Walibi Holland) 03- Maverick (Cedar Point) [ Really suprise there is not in your list :( ] 02- Zadra (Energylandia) 01- Steel Vengeance (Cedar Point)
@@PrestonianB thank you, Cedar Point is another level 💪🏻🎢 By the way, there is a new coaster in my top 10. The Ride to Happiness is in 7th place, I rode it a few weeks ago and it was a totally and amazing surprise 😳👌🏻. So Balder, my favourite wooden coaster, is out of my Top 10😥 and Taron, Hyperion and Gatekeeper loses one place.
You should do this again for the closed season in 2023, I’m interested to see what your top 10 or maybe even 20 are, mine right now are… 10. Montanha Russa (Aquashow Family Park, Portugal) 9. Dragon’s Fury 8. Nemesis Inferno 7. The Big One 6. The Swarm 5. Galactica 4. Mandrill Mayhem 3. Wicker Man 2. Th13teen 1. Icon I haven’t been on Nemesis, Rita, Oblivion, The Smiler, Colossus, Stealth, Saw: The Ride, Revolution or Infusion so that’s why none of them are on here I’ve also never been to Paultons Park, Oakwood Fantasy Island or Flamingo Land as the main four (I’ve also never been to any massive theme park outside of the UK, apart of Universal Studios Orlando and Seaworld Orlando when I was 7). One of the main reasons I got into trying roller coasters is you two, in 2022, I had been on ones like Wicker Man and Th13teen, I hadn’t even been on Vampire (the reason I went on Wicker Man is because I was forced to). I was scared of them and then I found your channel and I saw that there was nothing to be scared of about them, at the beginning of the 2023 season, I managed to get on Dragon’s Fury, and then Vampire a few weeks later. After that I got on to Mandrill Mayhem and then Galactica and then I went to Blackpool in the summer and then went to Portugal and went on Montanha Russa, the water coaster and then finally on the 16th October I got on Nemesis Inferno and The Swarm. I can’t thank you enough for helping me (nearly) get over my fear of roller coasters and I hope to try Hyperia when it’s official opened. You put so much dedication in all yours videos and I’m saying this from everyone watching any of you videos, you are truly some of the best people on and off of RU-vid, thank you for just being on here, I also think you deserve so many more subscribers than you have already. I think that’s everything I need to say for now. (I may post this on your latest video if you don’t see this).
Personally my top coaster is still Kumba and probably always will be ❤️ perfect layout, intensity, the fact they don’t put sand in the supports and dampen the roar like B&M normally do, so you can hear it from all over the park yet you can barely see it even when you’re close to it because of how well it interacts with the surroundings. I could go on for days. I just love it so much. In fact my 2nd fave is arguably Montu on the other side of the park
I haven't been up to ride Steel Vengeance yet. I rode Mean Streak in its first year and its last year, first year it was intense, last year it was downright painful and headache inducing. Hopefully can make it up soon.
