Top 7 Giga Coasters - The Best 300ft+ Roller Coasters in The World 2023 

I305 IS KING

I couldn't agree more with everything you said about Intimidator 305

I was at king dominion last august to ride i305 and it broke down the whole day then reopened the next. So now it’s my number 2 bucket list coaster lol

Orion isn't a giga. I will fist fight someone if they say otherwise.

My best orion ride was amazing I had a LOT of room

Now I absolutely love I305, in fact, its my number one, but now you got me thinking, would Kings Dominion be a better park if this was never built. I could see either side, but it probably would be a better park and have more success if they built a B&M giga. Idk, this rides still my number one so maybe not.

Best coaster channel. Can I join you on tour next trip!?

Intimidator 305 best giga? I’ve ridden this dozens of times. This issue is not the intensity. Vest restraints, on the shorter side and particularly the tragic trim breaks 2/3 the way through…nope.

Love MF. But that second half really is weak sauce.

I305 is my number 1, even after riding SteVe! Its insane.

Intimidator is an unmatched monster in almost every way. It's got it all as far as I'm concerned, and the only coaster I've ridden that I like better is Maverick.

I was confused for like 2 seconds how Red Force made the list but not Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda Ka. Then I learned how to read! Giga Coaster and NOT Strata Coaster.

I like airtime more then intensity that way I think fury better but it’s my opinion

I think. you present tracks that are really high and long tracks. have you tried Linnanmäki Taiga? it is in Finland. I can tell you that you can really feel the speed 😊

I LOVE intimidator 305

I've been lucky enough to have ridden Millennium Force, I-305, Fury and Orion. While Fury is my favorite by a wide margin, I will agree that I-305 is an incredible experience. There's nothing quite like it.

I've ridden Millennium Force, all three B&M "giga" hypers including the two strata coasters Top Thrill Dragster in the back car and and Kingda Ka in both the back the front rows. On the other hand: I've not yet ridden Superman at SFMM, (I know; it's a shuttle coaster but it's a giga, not a strata due to its 328' drop) Steel Dragon 2000, Intimidator 305 or Red Force. I think I'd like Red force better than either of the Strata coasters even if the launch is inferior, due to its drop twisting 90 degrees to the right instead of 270 degrees to the left and granting a better 90 degree drop, but it doesn't compare to a FULL LAYOUT coaster like the other six Giga coasters. BTW Red force's drop is 344'. Of the four I've ridden it's tough between 4: Leviathan in the front or back car; and 3: Orion in the back right seat; then 2: Millennium Force in the back car (row 17 and 18) and 1: Fury 325 in the front left seat. I really want to ride Intimidator 305 and also Phantom's Revenge, Superman El Escapo, Steel Dragon 2000 and also Hyperion (in the back car in one of the middle non wing seats); the tallest and fastest sub giga coaster in the world! Great video, thanks for posting!

Why do you care about the height it’s a giga

Fury was my first giga. I305 was my second and milli was my 3rd. Awaiting my forth opponent.

1. 1305 2. Millenium force 3. Fury 4. Leviathan 5. Steel dragon 6. I forget the last one

For me i305 is #3 in the park and #7 in virginia - other than the first turn the other turns don't feel too powerful and the whips just feel like airtime hills because of the awful restraints

I 100% agree with your placing of Leviathan above Millennium Force. I too after riding it this year for the first time, was very underwhelmed by its layout! The height and length and great, but was unimpressed with the overall ride experience. Don't get me started on the queue music!

3:29 brilliant!

I305 is my third favorite coaster ever with Fury just behind at #5

I find it irratating that the decision was made to REDUCE the intensity of intimidator 305 😡

everyone hates on Steel Dragon 2000 but my 3 rides on it in May 2023 were fast and packed full of airtime. I guess in comparison to other traditional gigas it may seem weak but I loved it. That and Hakugei are must rides at Nagashima Spa Land. Hakugei would be my #1 if it had better restraints and operations but I have to give it to Velocicoaster currently!

I find the B&M gigas a bit boring. I much prefer their hypers with their epic floater. Give me i305 and Millennium over the B&M gigas any day. The sense of speed on the intamins is insane

Thanks for this you have me so pumped for going back on I305 in August! Fingers crossed for Fury 325, but tbh my prediction 2-3 weeks back was Friday 4th August, could we come to fruition that... I think the department for labor is there atm and final checks are being made. Could be this weekend, but, haven't heard anything yet.

Red force just sucks ass it’s a ka/dragster wanna be

millenium should be WAY higher imo

Steel Dragon looks like it’s the best one.

Orion is NOT a Giga Coaster... Thats Like Saying Red Force is a Strata Coaster 🚮

Top 7 Giga Coasters implies that there are more than 7. There are ONLY 7 Giga Coasters, of course these are the top 7!

I disagree but ..Fury is number 1

I live in Virginia and the fact that the number 1 giga coaster in the world( in his opinion) is just so cool to me

lol shots fired with amazing fun hybrid coaster at Cedar Point, Gemini. Gemini and Magnum are so good.

He forgot about the airtime on steal vengeance

I wonder if we'll ever see any more giga coasters. Discounting Red Force, I wish we had one of these in Europe. The closest thing is the nearly giga-sized Hyperion.

As someone whose ridden all 5 in North America im hurt you put the Greatest Thrill Ride Ever at 6, it should be 5

I like coasters, but not ones that are really high. I prefer long ones that have more twists and turns closer along the ground rather than going airborne. The Batman at 6 Flags Over Texas is probably my favorite. As you state with these rides, The Batman is WAY too short of a ride. I'd love to be on it for at least 10 minutes at a time.

I-305 was AMAZING in its opening year. That first turn after the drop was so intense and the speed was relentless. It’s still good now, but not like it was!

I’ve only done Fury and i305 but I agree i305 takes the top spot. It’s just so intense and fast the whole way through and the transitions are WILD. It’s my current number 1 coaster.

I thought in order for a roller coaster to be a giga coaster it had to have a drop of 300 feet plus and be a full circuit coaster with a full layout?

Intimidator 305 is really intense. I’ve rode it a few times in the past and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.

My top 7 1) Fury 325 2) Millennium Force 3) Orion 4) Leviathan 5) Steel Dragon 2000 6) Intimidator 305 7) Red Force

Intimidator 3000 really lives up to its name, you either hate it or you like it but it is really the most intense out of all the gigas

I personally think Orion is better than leviathan, Orion has a much better theme and I got more Airtime on Orion, leviathans best feature was the overbank turn (I think that what it’s called. ) and the one on Orion is honestly better because it’s much talller and you get airtime before it
