I'll nominate Firechaser Express at Dollywood. Sure, it's a family coaster, but the backwards section is completely unexpected, and thematically appropriate.

@kevinmorris6984 Год назад

Agreed. I was surprised of how fun and unexpected the backwards section was!

@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239 Год назад

Mr. Freeze’s inverted top hat taken backwards is downright insane, especially the back row of the Reverse Blast iteration

It’s in my top 5. It’s not a super intense coaster but it’s so fun. I liked it just a tiny bit more than Velocicoaster honestly

@pipepicasso8112 Год назад

I always exclusively rode The Racer backwards after the first time riding it that way. But, my first backwards experience is KI's Screamin' Demon the shuttle loop.

@Mystiquemina 22 дня назад

I Loved the Backward Racer, it was so much fun. I miss it. Screamin Demon was fun, my favorite part was the Backward drop.

@zacg_ Год назад

I thought Pantheon would definitely be number one because I totally forgot about X2 as a "backward" coaster. I usually think of backward as meaning some kind of a reversal of direction on the same track for some portion but you're totally right that X2 counts. If you count the drop on X2 as a backward moment then I definitely agree with the order of your top two.

@TheSonicsean Год назад

My favorite part of Mr Freeze that's backwards is the launch. Man those Premier LIM launches pack a punch. Also the fact that you consistently call it "Hagrid's Blah Blah Blah" is hilarious.

@OriginalJoe Год назад

The accidental backward coaster moment - the strata rollback

@AirtimeThrills Год назад

@swouleman Год назад

I loved when You paraphrased Hagrids MCMA to "Hagrids blah blah blah" 😂😂😂

@andrewpritchard1526 Год назад

My first thought was the first drop on Time Traveler when taken backwards, but maybe that's more of a sideways element.

@AirtimeThrills Год назад

That ones tough, i tried to avoid spinning coasters, and TT's drop in the back is sideways, some other rows is backwards

@Ihatethoosies Год назад

I agree 100% about X2's drop being number one, its so amazing. The one moment I think is missing from this list is Sandy's Blasting Broncos Backwards Launch. It catches you by suprised because theres no warning before the launch and it's really forceful and causes me to fold forward everytime. I think it's the most intense backwards launch.

@christianortiz793 Год назад

By far the best backwards moment I've experienced was the backwards launch of Full Throttle at SFMM, it was so intense!

@Rhythmmical Год назад

My only ride on Wicked Twister was in the back car, and that twisted spike at full speed was jarring. It felt like my whole body twisted around itself, but in a fun way.

@jerseymiike Год назад

Top Thrill Dragster rollback is the best backwards moment on a coaster. I was lucky enough to experience this 3x

@zacdavid184 Год назад

I was there on a REALLY windy night in 2005 and watched a train roll back probably 6 or 7 times. It was a truly ridiculous amount and I don't fully understand why they didn't take it back into the station, maybe it wasn't possible at that point. People in the queue were shouting (joking) at the riders to point their arms together forward in a "V" for aerodynamics. It got over eventually and the ride closed for 20 mins or whatever, then it was basically fine. SURE WISH I HAD BEEN ON THAT TRAIN. I did catch one rollback, though, on a different occasion, and another on Ka.

@jerseymiike Год назад

@@zacdavid184 Yea 2 out the 3 times were back to back when I got front row seat... which was amazing bc you think it's gonna make it. The Ka rollback would be sweet

@Dancin_In_The_Moonlight Год назад

Kings Dominion also ran Rebel Yell backwards in the 90's. It was definitely pretty cool to ride backwards, I'd actually say I preferred it that way.

@TheNinjaDC Год назад

Yeah, the loop on Nighthawk was my favorite coaster moment/element on my recent trip to Carowinds, and Fury was open. That loop was just so intense, I loved it!

@markvolpe2305 Год назад

I loved Wicked Twister, my favorite seat was the second last row right hand side because as you're going up the back spike, the car in front of you moves out of the way and you're just staring at the ground.

@rct2nerd Год назад

Sandy’s Blastin’ Bronco has the best backwards launch I have ever experienced and you really need to ride it.

Great video as always. I went to Magic Mountain for the first time last month and I can safely say I 100% agree with your #1. X2 is now my new overall #1 coaster even above Steel Vengeance, and that first drop is probably my favorite element on any ride. And for the record the backwards lift hill is the first time in my entire life, including when I was a kid, where I was genuinely scared on a coaster, but oh my god was it awesome Btw, for a future “every manufacturer” video, how about a video of your biggest bucket list coaster from every manufacturer

@ThePirateprincess23 Год назад

I love the backwards half of Revenge of the Mummy at Universal Studios Hollywood. It is my favorite ride there. I have been on the Florida version 2 times and while the theming is great at both parks, the Florida version pales in comparison to the Hollywood version in my opinion.

Hi Airtime Thrills, I wanted to tell you about one of my most favorite backwards moments. I’ve heard you say several times that Thunderation at Silver Dollar City is your favorite mine train. When I was a kid in the early 2000s, they used to run every other train car on Thunderation backwards. It was really fun to ride backwards and face my family in the front facing car going through the ride. And the night rides were amazing! But by far my favorite moment was riding backwards in the last car, going down the final drop off the lift hill, in the dark!

@AirtimeThrills Год назад

That sounds awesome, wish that was still a thing

@DanCrowleyNYC Год назад

Going backwards is always my favorite part of any coaster, so thank you for this! There is something about the tummy-tickle you get that I never get tired of.

@mitchellries256 Год назад

My favorite backwards moment on a roller coaster is the first launch on Mr. Freeze at Six Flags Over Texas back when it had the reverse blast at the beginning. It will be exciting to try that ride launching forwards for the first time one year and see how that compares. Some of my other favorites include the second launch on Full Throttle at Six Flags Magic Mountain, the backwards launch on the Intamin Impulse Coasters, the complete darkness of Expedition Everest when going backwards, and the backwards launch on those Premier Rides Sky Rocket 2 models.

@devdevthrills Год назад

Expedition Everest?! That thing has no force and is like riding a kiddie train backwards through that section. Also, Mr Freeze would be #2 for me behind X2. Super disorienting and a ton of fun.

@JustACooldude74503 Год назад

I know this isn’t just a moment but rather a whole different experience, but the reserves seating on DC Rivals Hypercoaster is just nuts. The first drop facing backwards and the non-inverting loop is pure insanity makes it my favourite coaster experience. On the topic of Mack Rides, I’ve always wanted to see a Prime Ride Tme/By The Numbers style video of their major coasters since Blue Fire at Europa Park in 2009. The coasters on their would be their hypers, Xtreme spinners, their major projects since 2009. Thorpes new hyper might add a nice twist as well. Keep doing what your doing, your videos are great.

@rikp Год назад

My favorite backward moment on the Knott's Boomerang was the last inversion going back into the station. In the middle of the train (the only time I preferred the middle of a train) it would be at the perfect speed to do an upside-down flip on what felt like all three axes while floating. At least that's what I got from it. There was a time when it was running really well and I would ride it repeatedly for that moment.

@iceblade019 Год назад

The Giant Inverted Boomerang at Jinjiang park in Shanghai was my first coaster and got me into coasters, such a crazy experience.

@katherinezimmerman6997 Год назад

Great video! I haven’t ridden X2, but I’ve ridden its clone (Eejanika) at Fuji-Q and can confirm that the first drop is bonkers. Separately, if you think the back portions of the Flying Dutchmen are intense, wait until you get to Japan someday and ride The Flying Dinosaur at Universal. It’s a B&M flyer and has some of the most insane forces I’ve ever felt.

@zacdavid184 Год назад

My favorite backward moment(s) are gone: the in-line twists on Batman and Robin: the Chiller were crazy in both directions, but taking them backwards-- especially when you were coming from extra far up the spike-- almost defies description. And then of course there was an amazing inside backwards top hat immediately afterwards on the Batman side, but smaller than Mr. Freeze IIRC.

@ytcomment4242 Год назад

I'm guessing not many other people here have credits from Idora Park in Youngstown, OH, since it largely burned down in the 1984 season. That year they had taken my first coaster (Jack Rabbit) and turned the trains backwards to make Back Wabbit, which was just mind blowing as a kid. I never got to experience a Dragster rollback, but I bet those were magnificent, especially because it also meant you had another ride coming up.

@ScottyMania313 Год назад

Oh man, I miss Wicked Twister. I'm from Detroit so EDM is really huge, like huge huge, we even have a little EDM festival called Movement. The Station Music was from a group called The Crystal Method - the song called Winner. It was an epic experience jamming out to it before the launch.

I thought it was too cold for Atlantica but since Atlantis at Over Texas wasn't on here-I doubt its worth noting. Ramses at PAZ is kind of garbage but the first few drops aren't half bad and Abismo really only just catches the chain where I think the smaller models get a lot more bang for their buck in that department

@sampike5423 Год назад

I think TH13TEEN at Alton Towers deserves a mention. Not cos the backwards section is particularly strong, it's just a helix in the dark after a drop with some nice airtime if you're in the front of the train. But if you don't know the ride and what it does, it's very unexpected 😂
