I know you’re all excited for this video! Subscribe for more theme park content.

440 credits: Here is my Top 25 and where your top 25 ranks beyond that. 1. Steel Vengeance - Most Complete coaster 2. Iron Gwazi- Best pace coaster 3. Lightning Rod- Quad down is single best element 4. Velcocicoaster- My favorite themed and best inversion 5. El Toro- Best start to any coaster 6. Twisted Timbers- Standard for all smaller RMC's (Until I ride Untamed) 7. Fury 325- Best Giga and best drop 8. Voyage 9. Outlaw Run- I find it to be fine despite the roughness 10. Pantheon 11. Maverick 12. Mako 13. I-305 14. Phantom's Revenge 15. X2 16. Storm Chaser- Strongest air time of smaller RMC's. 17. Twisted Colossus- Dueling may bump it up in front of X2. Ridden this coaster more than any other. 18. SkyRush 19. Magnum XL-200 20. Iron Rattler 21. Phoenix (Knoebels) 22. GhostRider 23. RailBlazer 24. Wonder Women (Six Flags Fiesta Texas) 25. Time Traveler 26-30- Wicked Cyclone 31-40- Top Thrill Dragster, Millennium Force, Goliath (SFOG), Mystic Timbers, Orion 41-50- Superman the Ride (SFNE), Diamondback Joker (SFDK) 51-75 New Texas Giant, Raging Bull Have Not Ridden- Leviathan (I would expect it to be around Mily for me, maybe a little better). Kingda Ka (Was down when I was at the park- I would expect it be worse than TTD, possibly around XCelerator which has a super strong launch.

El toro is getting a lot more retracking done than I originally thought. It should be significantly smoother next year.

Great video! Yeah Mystic Timbers is so good!

Nice list. You need a lot more Coaster credits for a list like this. Keep it up.

Yo where's my Hersheypark representation. All I here is that when wildcat's revenge comes out, Hershey will have a top tier lineup, but I hear noone putting skyrush, stormrunner, or candymonium on their list. Hershey is pretty underrated considering their lineup and how much people actually talk about them.

Nice list! Definitely close to what I’ve would’ve done for my list but a little bit switched up. Great video, keep up the great work!

Great list! So many similar thoughts to your top 25! Iron Gwazi is phenomenal

Iron Gwazi was great, did it last summer. Thought I would just try it once, but did it 3 times! Super smooth, super fast...that helps.

Some really solid hot takes in this video and I’m here for it

Glad Raging Bull made the list! Such an amazing ride that doesn’t get enough recognition from enthusiasts

I’ve rode about half of the Top 25 that you have on your list. We are hitting Cedar Point next summer and I’ve been wanting to ride Millennium Force since 2000. 😂 I hate we missed our chance to ride TTD, but oh well. I hear so much hype about SteVe and looking forward to it as well. I guess we’ll do 2 days at CP.

I also love New Texas Giant over Wicked Cyclone and I prefer the airtime over inversions. The original Texas Giant was brilliant it’s first 10 years of its life. It was a wild beast of a coaster.

Cool list! You really get around. Mine is: 25. Copperhead Strike 24. El Toro (Somebody else says it! It was very rough this year!) 23. Thunderhead 22. Intimidator 21. Jersey Devil Coaster 20. Orion 19. Candymonium 18. Steel Curtain 17. Storm Runner 16. Top Thrill Dragster 15. Nitro 14. Superman: The Ride 13. Diamondback 12. Pantheon 11. Millennium Force 10. Phoenix 9. Phantom's Revenge 8. Twisted Timbers 7. Skyrush 6. Wicked Cyclone 5. Fury 325 4. Maverick 3. Intimidator 305 2. Steel Vengeance 1. Lightning Rod Mystic Timbers just misses the cut. Kingda Ka is a little farther down for me. I rode in the back and got rattled around, but it's still enjoyable overall.

Half of these are in my top 25 as well! I really need those California credits though. Also let's hope El Toro runs better in 2023

my top 5 (out of 100) 5. Iron rattler (biased because it was my first rmc and it was the coaster that made me become an enthusiast) 4. twisted timbers 3. maverick 2. i305 1. iron gwazi and steel vengence

Raging bull is my number one coaster, I’m just so glad it made the list this year!

Ghostrider is phenomenal! Definitely my favorite CCI roller coaster.

I’m excited when you come back to Kings Dominion and ride twisted Timbers

I love wicked cyclone in the fall this year it was hauling and amazing the drop was amazing like top 5 drops for me and it had killer airtime

Don't ever apologize for your coaster list, I always appreciate a list that isn't "the norm". For me personally I love Voyages layout- but it gives me a terrible headache, so I rank it lower than most, that would be an unpopular opinion but hey I prefer to think for myself and I can't tell you do as well!

My list is almost the exact same as yours! Millennium Force is very underrated!

In my personal opinion, Velocicoaster Is my favorite coaster of ALL TIME. The very fast movement on the second launch, the drop, and the mosasaurus roll just makes this ride absolute perfection. At first I was nervous on riding this, but now I feel like I could ride it every second I’m at universal. I even got the shirt which I have not regretted buying. If I had to rate this out of 10, It would break my scale. As one of this biggest Jurassic Park and World fans, I approve of this ride.

I rode Iron Gwazi a few weeks ago with my brother. The pacing is on another level!

I don't combine wood and steel, so here's top 15 of each: Wood 1 The Voyage 2 Ravine Flyer II 3 Shivering Timbers 4 Tonnere de Zeus 5 Hades (360) 6 Fireball 7 Boardwalk Bullet 8 Boulderdash 9 Mine Blower 10 Cú Chulainn 11 Megafobia 12 Thunderhead 13 Mystic Timbers 14 El Toro 15 Legend Steel 1 Expedition GeForce 2 Superman: Ride of Steel (SFNE) 3 Fury 325 4 Shambhala 5 Skyrush 6 Mako 7 VelociCoaster 8 Intimidator 305 9 Iron Rattler 10 Superman: Ride of Steel (SFA) 11 Twisted Colossus 12 Phantom’s Revenge 13 Goliath (SFoG) 14 Intimidator 15 Nitro

Gotta get to Holiday World. All three woodies would be the best at any other park. Voyage gets all the praise and rightfully so, but Legend and Raven do the work, too! It especially makes sense if you consider the park’s narrative starting with Raven then Legend with Will Koch and his magnum opus Voyage.

Let the controversy begin 🍿. Btw I appreciate you giving Raging Bull love. So underrated

B&M always has one hope for the top spot haha

Great video, but these are just your top 25 in the United States. I was excited to see your international choices.

VelociCoaster earned that top 5 spot and is obviously my #1. Next year thing may be different tho......BGT next April

Have you been to holiday world? Wondering where voyage would rank

Twisted Colossus is a top 5 RMC regardless I’d it duels or not. Two first drops is heaven and the coaster duels more then people say. I live in Southern California so I ride it a lot and the enthusiasts that “visit” the park and get their couple rides on it don’t know anything about anything.

Your background music doesn’t sound the same, did you change it?

Gotta love seeing Mystic that high! That's my sh*t!

Nice list! I don't think I've heard you comment on Lightning Rod before. Have you gotten to ride it at any point? Obviously, your list is your opinion so if you've ridden it and just didn't think it deserved a spot that's your opinion and it is respectable. Same question for Pantheon. I noticed Voyage isn't on the list and I almost want you give you credit. I find it to be the most overrated coaster and it feels refreshing to see it not included on the list.

from a sfot home park native THNK YOU FOR THE TEXAS GIANT PRAISE 😭😭😭😭

This is my top ten roller coasters I have ridden 1. Steel vengeance 2. Maverick 3. Millennium force 4. Magnum xl 200 5. Shivering Timbers 6. Maxx force 7. Goliath -six flags great America 8. Gate keeper 9. Superman ultimate flight 10. Batman the ride Haven’t ridden too thrill dragster wish I could tho 🙁 Only been at cedar point Michigans adventure and six flags great America

bro new texas giant is so underrated!

I haven't been on to many coasters, but I have been on some pretty great ones, so heres my top 14-15 13-Wildcat-isn't as bad as people say it is and it's not that rough to me. 12-lightning racers-not a bad gci racing coaster, but some elements are taken to slow 11-Space mountain-kind of underrated, but not really, (Note do NOT ride this with lights on it sucks) 10-Sooper dooper looper- should go in the brake run after the loop the rest is just does nothing. 9-Thunderbolt plus Comet-they both place the same in my rankings because I think they are equally as good of rides. 8-Green lantern- not bad as people say it is, it's not *that* rough for B&M standup. and good inversions. 7-Fahrenheight-the vertical chain lift still scares me, but the first drop is really good, but the rest of the ride is just pretty good. 6- Storm runner- really fun ride, the flying snake dive doesn't really pull many forces to me though. 5-Candymonium, better in the front then in the back for airtime. 4-Great bear- insane B&M inverted coaster, sad to only get one night ride on it but that was fire. 3-Two special- Wicked cyclone would be number 4, but when I was making the list I had a problem, so El toro would be number 3, and this could be called a 13 favorite coaster list. 2-Superman the ride (the one at Six flags New England) El toro is not number 2, because I didn't really think it was that "elite" but Superman if you get shut up about the restraints, it is one of the best coaster layouts ever. 1-Skyrush-yes this is my number one coaster, the restraints weren't bad on me to be honest, but I did kind of feel a bit of head jerking throughout the ride, which is very surprising, but the airtime is very strong, the first hill is amazing, and the speed is relentless. Note-I know I included a lot of Hershey Park rides and Six flags' rides, but I haven't (yet) been to many parks, but I will be headed to cedar point hopefully this summer and may go to Nickelodeon Universe to.

This is my list! 1 - F.L.Y. 2 - Taron 3 - Expedition Everest 4 - The Smiler 5 - Eejanaika 6 - Gatekeeper 7 - Velocicoaster 8 - Boulder Dash 9 - Manta 10 - The Ride To Happiness

It must cost a fortune to have experienced all these different parks!

My top 25. 1. Mystic Timbers 2. I305 3. Steel vengeance 4. Millenium force 5. Phantoms revenge 6. Diamondback 7. Twisted Timbers 8. Raptor 9. Montu 10. Banshee 11. Cheetah hunt 12. The beast 13. Maverick14. Rockin rollercoaster 15. Top thrill dragster 16. Manta 17. Volcano the blast coaster yes I know it’s not around but still has an awesome ride 18. Magnum 19. Invertigo 20. Gatekeeper 21. Valravn 22. Orion sorry not sorry it’s just too short and boring 23. Kumba 24. Mako 25. Blue streak

i think shivering timbers, american eagle, raptor, and rockin roller coaster need to be on this list personally.

Even the slowest ride on Lightning Rod should be on everyone's top 25.

Focus on the positive aspects of your top 25 instead of so much focus being on the negative aspects of each coaster. Save the negative for in depth coaster reviews. This is the list of your favorites. I’m not at all trying to make you feel bad because I enjoy your coaster videos. I’m just giving a bit of enthusiast to enthusiast advice

I also really like Goliath at SFOG but Goliath at Walibi Holland is definitely the best Goliath

glad to hear people acknowledge that Ka is better lol

Next time your at great adventure ride el Toro second back row so your not on any wheels. I agree it’s not smooth as it used to be. It used to be much better even a couple years ago. But sitting in that middle row on the car makes it MUCH MUCH better In my opinion

I new to coasters but I have been to a few parks so I’ll try to get 25 1: steel vengeance 2: iron gwazi 3: Velocicoaster 4: maverick 5: millennium force 6: mako 7: montu 8: gatekeeper 9: hulk 10: manta 11: pipeline surf 12: Valravn 13: cheetah hunt 14: icebreaker- just cool and uniqueish 15: kumba 16: sheikra 17: kraken 18: cobras curse- same reason as icebreaker 19: magnum xl 200- super overrated in my opinion 20: Hollywood rip ride rockit 21: Tigris 22: revenge of the mummy- kinda a dark ride but whatever 23: iron dragon 24: slinky dog dash- again I haven’t ridden too much so most of from 20 and up are just fillers 25: rougarou- I didn’t even rly like it

kewl 0:00

Leviathan is longer than Orion. Also, where are all the top wood coasters like Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Boulderdash, Boardwalk Bullet, Thunderhead, etc. They should all be on this list. When coasterals run all out they are far better and more extreme than many of these.

Alpengeist: am I a joke to you?

You need to sit on a non-wheel seat on El Toro instead of the very front or back row. It’s smoother.

New Texas Giant above Wicked Cyclone?!?!

How?? HOW could you omit X2 and Intimidator 305? This is nuts

The valosa coaster is the best one I ever rode

Where is leviathan and yukon striker?

*time traveler has left the chat*

current top 25 for 125 credits 1 iron gwazi 2 intimidator 305 3 steel vengeance 4 velocicoaster 5 maverick 6 wildcats revenge 7 skyrush 8 twisted Timbers 9 pantheon 10 X2 11 diamondback 12 twisted colossus 13 mystic Timbers 14 millennium force 15 orion 16 ghost rider 17 phantoms revenge 18 hagrids magical creatures motorbike adventure 19 guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind 20 storm runner 21 montu 22 magnum xl 200 23 candymonium 24 apollos chariot 25 cheetah hunt

I have El Toro at like 60 something

When did you ride Wicked Cyclone? Post-Covid Wicked Cyclone is a different animal than pre-Covid Wicked Cyclone

I love how I can agree and disagree with you so much. Dueling is highly overrated on TC and X2 is the best ride a SFMM. I understand X2 isn't for everyone...noticed it's still in the thumbnail. I'm on to your tricks!😆

Iron gwazi does look a tad over rated. Not saying it looks bad or anything but not as good as I thought it would. Btw pls don’t take this as bashing your opinion I just think it wouldn’t be as good as SteVe in my opinion

where is skyrush?

You just need to ride outlaw run front row in the night. You will change your mind.

I think that the Igwazi is not better than Zadra but they're both better than SteVe. SteVe is overrated becouse of airtime and length but if you was on Zadra or Igwazi you should know that airtime and length doesn't mean everything.

I haven’t even ridden 25 coasters. I can barely hit 25 rides if I include flat rides and dark rides…….

Have you been in Europe?

Hate to be a pain, but isnt the name of this video a bit misleading? This is just a list of coasters in North America

El Toro all the way at 21

hulk at universal hagrids at universal should be 1

"Top 25 Roller Coasters in the World" Only contains rides in North America.

The world isn't just america, you know

Top 25 "in the World"?! So where's Europe and Asia?

Mystic Timbers is by far the most overrated roller coaster of all time.

It's so hard to hear people praise IG when I literally saw it in person with a closed sign. 🥲 One day, though. Just another reason to go back to that amazing park.
