Top 25 Roller Coasters in America (2024) 

Iron gwazi is truly something special. I'm not an enthusiast as I haven't ridden many coasters. But IG was the first one that felt like it was gonna snap me in half. It's so nonstop relentless that it never lets you catch your breath. When I hit the brake run for the first time, I was like "what was that?" lol

Love to see mystic in a top 5! Definitely best ride at ki!

STEEL VENGEANCE is the obvious #1 ... CP's Millennium & Maverick can be argued as top 25'ers! But TopThrill 2 will blow all others away ... it's got that potential!

Let me first say I love what you do and crave more of it. As a coaster enthusiast I have nothing but appreciation for all of the coaster content created for our viewing pleasure. That said, it seems like every Coaster blogger, podcast creator, enthusiast creating content and making top coaster lists tries to come up with a reason why Velocicoaster isn't the #1 coaster in the world. I just don't understand it. Velocicoaster has, if not the best theming in the world, maybe the second best. But I really challenge anyone to say there is a coaster with a better combination of theming, inversions, and overall ride experience than Velocicoaster. I also have an incredible amount of love for Mako and hate to see it not make your top 25. To me Mako is the quintessential hyper, incredible first drop, beautiful scenery, wonderfully smooth and just a floater airtime machine. My son and I took a trip to GA this year to ride Airie and yes it is incredible. Regardless of my differing opinions, loved the list, great work and keep it up.

I LOVE Wildcat's revenge

Nice list man, I'm visiting the states later this year and I can't wait to ride some of the coasters on this lists

Velocicoaster is amazing one of best coasters ever with first time riding it in December 23 that and wildcats revenge are two of my top 10. Of your list been on 12 or so of them.

Gwazi and velociciaster prob top 2

I like Mystic Timbers but idk if it’s THAT good. I do love the feel of it tho, one of the best woodies I’ve done

I respect Mystic at #1. I have it #3 on my list. It’s truly the perfect GCI

Yea, gotta agree, mystic is bomb it’s is the perfect ride, just maybeeee the restraints don’t go down. #1 is a juggle for me, Iron Gwazi or the Voyage

It is wonderful to see a list that is courageous enough to break away from "consensus" (or what we are suggested is consensus)!!! Your opinion of El Toro is similar to my opinion of Millennium Force. It has my favorite first drop, and then (aside from the third hill) it becomes largely a waste of time. An overly-tight, money-saving grayout-inducing horseshoe bend, boring tunnels, an aimless layout without precision, and irrational blocking... but being at "Cedar Point" and a "first", it apparently garners a lot of favor. Magnum is like a girlfriend. Millennium Force is like an AI-generated "girlfriend". Pointless big curves, and hardly any heart.

Go to Knoebels and ride Phoenix.
