Tatsu is the only coaster that has made me contemplate my mortality. It all started during the climb to the top. The steel beams looked huge against the tiny trees that grew tinier by the second. Panic set in as I dangled vulnerably from the sky. Once we took off, my mind asked questions like, “What if it derails, and we go flying off the track?” Next thing I know, a hysterical woman is screaming expletives and phrases like, “WE’RE GOING TO DIE!” and “JESUS, WHY?” As the train pulled into the station, it was with profound humiliation that I learned the truth: I was the hysterical woman.
SAME. Good God that was AWFULLLL in the most greatest way! Sooo intense and terrifying feels like your just gonna fall right out. I ain’t gonna lie I shed a tear on the way up then had to just put my mind in another world the rest of the ride 😂 I didn’t realize it faced straight down till after waiting 2 hours in line so I couldn’t back out lol and when my friend that never really gets scared on them and the GROWN man next to me was repeatedly saying on the way up “oh my god oh my god oh my god” it was gonna be terrifying lol but I do NOT regret getting on! Made me feel like a bad ass. Amazingly awful 10/10 and worth the wait
My friend FLIPPED OUT on this ride !! She was yelling " there is no seat belt thing, the bar gonna break, I'm going to die, what about my kids" all the while I'm laughing my ass off !! It was awesome!! I LOVE the pretzel loop!!!
yo so before i ever road Tatsu, I had a dream I fell off of it and flew into the trees after the first drop. It was soo weird, because even tho I had never ridden the ride, my dream was legit somehow seeing exactly how the ride operated. The dream took place at night, and so i avoided riding it at night out of some fear it was premonition for the longest time. When I eventually did ride it at night, it felt like dejavu (not the ride but damn do i miss that one!). Thankfully i didnt fall off of it, but i know somewhere in some other universe, I must have because g-damn that fall was so real. Pour one out and RIP to my other self
I hadn't been on that ride in like 20 years and got on when I visited the other day - LOL that will be the LAST time I ever get on that ride. The whiplash, combined with the tension headache I got from trying to lift my arm to keep my mask from flying off my face nearly did me in. 🤣
Very much so, one of the most forceful elements on a coaster that I've experienced! However, this is really the only intense moment on this ride; there aren't really any other intense moments in my opinion to make it an all around intense coaster!
i went a few days ago for the first time and i didn’t feel nothin in tatsu. 😂 it’s a really cool ride tho, the facing down really freaked me out. i though the seat was going to open. 😂
I was really shocked that Tatsu was so low if the list, especially below Scream. I thought Tatsu was the most intense coaster for the ride system and inversions while Scream was mostly forceless.
@poopsiazoipe9640 Agreed. The restraints and the suspenseful lift hill are unforgettable the first time you ride it. But every time after that, it just feels graceful and relaxing more than anything.
The top 3 for me are X2, Tatsu, and Goliath. X2 since it is crazy intense. Tatsu since I greyed out on the Pretzel Loop and that usually doesn't happen to me. Goliath since in the double helix makes me close to greying out. Also awsome list!
I went on x2 yesterday. I'm 13 and my 26 year old brother forced me. had the time of my life and glad he made me go on it. If you go there sit on it first!!!!
@@MaxGreenSkiFilms if you can ride X2, you can ride literally ANYTHING else in the park. drop of droom isn't as scary as it looks. a lot of my friends have cried going up then had a great time. by the end they all thanked me for making them go on 🤷♀️ short but fun experience
I LOVE that you actually put arrows when talking about the direction your body is thrown on Twisted Colossus! You could have only said it in words but for me being a visual learner, it really helped me understand how the roller coaster’s elements affect its riders. Very informative!
From the UK and agree after riding X2 twice it is the most intense coaster I’ve ever ridden. The adrenaline rush is incredible. We have no coaster in the UK that even comes close to this coaster. World class.
I agree that apocalypse is extremely good. Particularly it's double down after the overbank, that moment is really intense. The first drop is amazing too
taking a shot every time I hear "sheer speed" .. ill keep you updated. thanks for the list man! I like your appreciation for the same aspects of these coasters!
Oh man, my one and only visit to Magic Mountain was the summer of 1990, the year Viper opened. My recollection was that this was the biggest and baddest coaster at the time and had huge waits. I can't believe that it's hated and basically a walk on 30+ years later. Viper and Colossus were the only two coasters I was able to ride that day and they both remain legendary experiences in the memory of my 10 year old self.
I’ve always been too scared to go on any really intense roller coasters before. For me, the Steel Eel at SeaWorld was pushing it. Finally last weekend at 28 I went to Magic Mountain and was told X2 would be a good start to the day. I was lied to! But it was a hell of a fun ride!
I personally found X2 alot more smoother than id imagined it to be.. its almost like the sensation u get on silver bullets initial drop mixed with Full throttle’s launch all mixed together but inverted. I love it and imo WCC had a much more significant effect on me bc i nearly greye’d out on the yellow helix with me expecting it to be a tame coaster 🤣
When I went on west coast racers I did not expect the intensity! I actually passed out (first ever time at six flags) but HANDS down my favorite ride ever. I love how it goes again. Some rides you kind of feel like “wow I waited so long in line for this?” But not with this. REGARDLESS of having it break down while I was waiting in line and riding it. I loved it and it was great! The fastest one I’ve been on is twisted colossus and it was insane! I did not like it I mean maybe cause I did not expect it considering my friend said it was a “chill ride” I seriously did not expect it and felt absolutely sick. I loved the feeling of adrenaline after. But something I need to note is that it doesn’t feel very safe and you definitely you feel like you’re gonna fly out of your seat but if that’s what you like then go for it! I just personally prefer the nice safe feeling seats from west coast racers.
I’m 42 years old been living in California all my life and yesterday was the first time going to magic mountain. Face my fears of roller coasters. And my first ride was x2 . Shit was insane. My boys are the ones that put me up to it. They told me ride x2 first then the rest are rides are going to be chill. I’m so glad I did. Can’t wait to go again and ride tatsu. It was closed when we went 😢
I haven’t gotten on every ride yet as I have only gone to six flags twice. But so far twisted collosus was the most terrifying for me, those drops are insane
I hope you've gone again since this comment. Once you've ridden every ride, you'll learn Twisted is indeed the funnest time you'll have on a ride in prob all of California. Batman, X2, Riddler, Scream - all once smooth and amazing rides are now just rattle cans that freak you the hell out.
Tastu had me in tears today lol didn’t realize you face straight down till after we already waited 2 hours in the heat for it so I couldn’t back out 😅 so happy I did it though!!! Super intense but fucking amazing and makes you feel good!
X2 - that ride that made me scream like a little b. i admit it, It scared the living shit out of me. Thanks for the Viper love. Highly underrated because its an old arrow. At least it didn't have the shitty old trains revolution had with both the shoulder restraints and lap bar. Viper only had the shoulder restraints, which if not careful out goes your keys and wallet.
When I was maybe 10, my dad had forced me onto X2, and I kinda just went with it. All I remember is closing my eyes the entire time. I also went on the Superman Krypton ride.
Waiting in line thinking about how scary it's gonna be is the worst part just scream off the drop parts and relax you will end up going on rides you never thought you would after lol
Yup! X2 has been gettingpretty rough over the years! They recently re-welded a lot of thr tracks and supports, and it's been running smooth this month, but it probably won't be long until it is super rough again.
I greyed out on Tatsu’s pretzel loop. That element is intense. I don’t really like flying coasters but it’s the best one I’ve been on. I didn’t enjoy X2 at all though, too jerky. The first drop on Goliath into the tunnel made one of the discs in my back compress, I literally felt it ‘squish’! It’s the only ride I’ve ever felt nervous on as the whole structure just didn’t seem... sturdy enough. But hey, these designers know what they’re doing.
I remember when Viper first opened. It was the first roller-coaster to match combat jet planes g forces. The twist in a barrel roll is the actual twist barrel roll in a f-15 or f-18 hornet.
The fact that you ranked Superman so low in intensity makes me feel like a wuss for being terrified for a decade. I will conquer my fear on Monday my dude 💪
Initially when I saw X2 not listed/labeled on the list in the video as the others were, I wanted to personally fight you 😅 It really is an incredible experience. Tatsu sticks out because it was ultra smooth. MIght've been my 2nd favorite but X2 is just a different beast from the rest!
Hahaha that's so funny when he said that goliath is the little brother of intensely and intimidator is the older brother but "overrated" ride I was die laughing
Tatsu is on a level!! X2’s like space mountain in comparison. Tatsu is like being gripped and spun around by an unpredictable mythical creature. While X2 has the name and branding of a bow flex type deal. X2 is by far one of the most fun rides around. Not sure if I would ever give Tatsu another go. Love the video. Thank you
X2 is how I imagine 1. Dying feels, 2. The last thing Noble 6 saw at the end of Halo: Reach and 3. What a Geometry Dash character goes through when completing Tidal Wave
Man I was sitting far right in the back of batman and I didnt even feel the need to scream. It was just kinda chill for me 😅. Full throttle though. Full throttle got an actual scream of terror out of me (I was once again in the back so I got the full effects of the backwards launch. Loved it though, it was great)
Tatsu was the first big roller coaster I came to love, and part of the reason I could overcome my fear is for some reason I find the superman position calming. I find the pretzel loop very relaxing, it pushes me back in my seat and feels like a nice weighted blanket on me :D Weirdly I find the corkscrews on it more intense than the pretzel loop. But all of it is such a blast!!!
Good job. I like how you deal with your haters. You got all the angles covered. I got to ride USA's first flying Rollercoaster at CA Great America in 2000! It was short lived but bad ass! I want to ride X2, rode Tatsu though.
I went today but tatsu AND x2 were closed :( but i went on every other rollercoaster. Plus we went to universal studios for 2 days before, so i only got 1 day at magic mountain and sadly the 2 best coasters were closed haha, hope to visit soon again but its a 7 hour drive from where i live
now i haven’t ridden either coaster in about 3+ years and definitely haven’t ridden the gci retrack but you are 100% correct in the fact that the overall pacing of apocalypse is great/much better than ghostrider and provides a more intense experience out of the gate, plus it suits the theming by focusing on speed and laterals. however as an orange county native, throughout my entire life riding ghost rider from my first ride in kindergarten to my most recent night ride during knotts scary farm, it murders apocalypse in the intensity in regards to airtime and headchoppers. i think they both offer different rides and when people think of top coasters people tend to think of flashy air time moments or drops rather than a whole experience start to finish. while i would agree apocalypse is overall a more intense ride ghost rider is a significantly more impactful and memorable ride. P.S. if you haven’t gotten the chance to ride ghostrider at night do it it’s absolutely insane
Thanks for the input! I have similarly been riding both of these coasters ever since I was about 5 to 6 years old. I have ridden both in the front and back, day and night, rain and shine, and for me, I have always seen Ghostrider as a more relaxed ride, with the larger, more drawn out elements. And of course my video explains my thoughts on Apocalypse. Both are great coasters and I don't dislike Ghostrider in any way, I just feel that Apocalypse gets overlooked upon because of Ghostrider, even though it is a very solid coaster. Either way, I'll be riding El Toro in a few weeks for the first time, so I'll likely have a new top wooden coaster soon!
I likened myself to a very hardcore enthusiast.... very few coasters with a level 10 intensity rating rattle me... having said that.... X-2 to this very day still gives me the shakes. i don't know what it is... that first drop? the first inversion? I've gone on it maybe a dozen times in my life, and it still scares the living crap out of me.
If Green Lantern was still in the park, I would rank it as the most intense coaster at the park. That ride was so rough that I didn’t bother to ride it again. It was literally a one and done.
I am actually the one in a million who passionately loved that ride! It was so forceful and unpredictable, providing an insanely intense experience every single time! I marathoned that ride several times when it was in operation, and I would also prefer it over the S&S Free Spins!
I spent an entire day at six flags just as covid went down. We had short waits in line and we hit it off with Batman and we were rattled. We rallied and hit all the big ones. Then we did that big swing which I had the hardest time with. The anticipation of getting released down killed me! It was such a beautiful day and I had the best time.
I find it interesting how many MM’s coasters are underrated. In my eyes, Apocalypse, Goliath, Riddler, Superman, Viper, and Scream don’t get enough respect for what they do right.
Just went on tatsu for the first time yesterday I'm 5'2 and only like 110 lbs. The moment of going straight down and then going on your back was the most intense moment I felt out of the whole day yesterday and I completely forgot I watched this video a year ago to prepare myself but tatsu was closed for a bit during the time.
The Scream was our starter ride! Goliath was ALWAYS my favorite 🤩. I recommend to go visit!! 😉…..I wish I would have rode X1 (I did get to ride X2). Highly recommend this park!!!😉😉😎
My friend and I rode Batman last year after riding 8 other coasters...and after we both said "ok...we need to have lunch and take a break." I grey out everytime.
X2 is awesome.. My last ride was in the very back seat and it made all rides before on it feel puny LOL. It was so intense I had no idea what was happening and loved it all the same. Tatsu's pretzel is insane, again I find that to be a back seat ride for sure. But you are correct, the rest of the ride is graceful and more scenic than anything. However that pretzel is enough to really stand out and make it a desirable multi ride. Goliath is the weirdest hyper coaster ever. It does nothing for the first half then slams you in your seat for the second half and the only coaster I have ever greyed out on. Every ride. I only got one spot of air time on it, ever, in the very front row over the camelback. It's also the only hyper I know of that doesn't have a single spot of airtime in the back. I kind of hate it overall to be honest and keep hoping beyond hope it's replaced with a B&M hyper. Apocalypse was closed last time I was there, which was usual for me LOL. I don't really like GCI woodies, I much prefer the old CCI and now Gravity Group layouts, but I will definitely ride it if it's open next time. As far as Scream, I am 6 ft 3 and yet still have had some nasty ear bashing on that ride which I never got on its clone Medusa at SFGA. I find Riddlers to give me a headache every time, there is this kind of rattle in it that vibrates my head the entire ride and even made me feel sick last time. It's not rough in any way, it's hard to explain, it's like a vibration. I adore Batman and it's one of only two coasters that makes my legs literally feel full of pins and needles in the end helix. Full Throttle is underrated and has great hang time and a crazy spot of airtime at the end. Viper is a nothing to me and always was, I don't feel intensity or pleasure on it but have ridden it maybe 10 times in both front and back. I hate the brakes brining you to a full stop (although I am thankful for that on Goliath's mid course lol) but it's not THAT rough for an arrow multi looper. I preferred the GASM at Great Adventure. I missed Ninja in this list and find it to be an underrated ride. I do agree with most of the ratings here but Twisted C was being built when I was last there so I haven't ridden that nor West Coast Racers, obviously. I am glad in a way that I waited as next visit will mean my first RMC single rail as well. Three all new steel coasters I have never been on and one woodie, so it will be an amazing trip.
Tatsu is the only coaster that has made me contemplate my mortality. It all started during the climb to the top. The steel beams looked huge against the tiny trees that grew tinier by the second. Panic set in as I dangled vulnerably from the sky. Once we took off, my mind asked questions like, “What if it derails, and we go flying off the track?” Next thing I know, a hysterical woman is screaming expletives and phrases like, “WE’RE GOING TO DIE!” and “JESUS, WHY?” As the train pulled into the station, it was with profound humiliation that I learned the truth: I was the hysterical woman.

Same. I even got there early and ran to the coaster as soon as the gates opened and I still had to wait 45 minutes!

I greyed out on Tatsu’s pretzel loop. That element is intense. I don’t really like flying coasters but it’s the best one I’ve been on. I didn’t enjoy X2 at all though, too jerky. The first drop on Goliath into the tunnel made one of the discs in my back compress, I literally felt it ‘squish’! It’s the only ride I’ve ever felt nervous on as the whole structure just didn’t seem... sturdy enough. But hey, these designers know what they’re doing.
I actually think Scream is an amazing B&M coaster!!
OMG SCREAM IS SO
FUN THAT RIDE IS LITERALLY AWESOME
THANK YOU!!! 😁😁
Just realized this is at 150k congratulations!! 🙌🏾 I love your videos
Thanks! I just realized that too 😅
@@M-NL2 215k friend ! Go you !!
I remember when Viper first opened. It was the first roller-coaster to match combat jet planes g forces. The twist in a barrel roll is the actual twist barrel roll in a f-15 or f-18 hornet.
The fact that you ranked Superman so low in intensity makes me feel like a wuss for being terrified for a decade. I will conquer my fear on Monday my dude 💪
magic mountain coasters make my brain go brrrrr
Initially when I saw X2 not listed/labeled on the list in the video as the others were, I wanted to personally fight you 😅 It really is an incredible experience. Tatsu sticks out because it was ultra smooth. MIght've been my 2nd favorite but X2 is just a different beast from the rest!
Heading to SFMM next week! Can’t wait to experience it all!
The x2 OMG I ALMOST DIED😅😭jp but it’s so scary 😩😂but fun all the rides I got on is fun !
I went on ghostrider and ACTUALLY GOT A ROUGH RIDE... felt good
nice lmao
bruh rough does NOT feel good
@@karimadrigal3062 not like rough rough just a little saky
seriously, your channel is way underrated
Thank you so much! 😄
Most underrated coaster channel on RUclips, keep it up!
Ayo thanks! :D
Magic mountain is my favorite place and fav ride is tatsu full throttle and twisted colossus
All 3 insane coasters that I mutually love!
Those are my top three as well, twisted one full throttle two tatsu three
Nice job on the video! Also ... enjoyed your injection or humor!
Thanks! 😊
Hahaha that's so funny when he said that goliath is the little brother of intensely and intimidator is the older brother but "overrated" ride I was die laughing
@@godkinghell15 Thx Lmao 😂
@@M-NL2 your welcome man it's my home park
Tatsu is on a level!! X2’s like space mountain in comparison. Tatsu is like being gripped and spun around by an unpredictable mythical creature. While X2 has the name and branding of a bow flex type deal. X2 is by far one of the most fun rides around. Not sure if I would ever give Tatsu another go. Love the video. Thank you
X2 I passed out for a few seconds and rag dolled then came too. The ride is like crack you either love or hate it
X2 is how I imagine 1. Dying feels, 2. The last thing Noble 6 saw at the end of Halo: Reach and 3. What a Geometry Dash character goes through when completing Tidal Wave
Apocalypse breaks my neck every time I ride it
How lol it just got retracked xD
I damn near threw up on Riddler’s Revenge. No way is scream more intense than that
when i went someone DID throw up on it, i was about to sit in that seat until they got all of us off
Man I was sitting far right in the back of batman and I didnt even feel the need to scream.
It was just kinda chill for me 😅.
Full throttle though.
Full throttle got an actual scream of terror out of me (I was once again in the back so I got the full effects of the backwards launch. Loved it though, it was great)
Wonder woman was my favorite though
I still can't believe how CLOSE Batman The Ride brings you to the concrete below. It's just insane
When I first went on scream I was so scared I closed my eyes the whole time after the drop
Tatsu was the first big roller coaster I came to love, and part of the reason I could overcome my fear is for some reason I find the superman position calming. I find the pretzel loop very relaxing, it pushes me back in my seat and feels like a nice weighted blanket on me :D
Weirdly I find the corkscrews on it more intense than the pretzel loop. But all of it is such a blast!!!
Good job. I like how you deal with your haters. You got all the angles covered.
I got to ride USA's first flying Rollercoaster at CA Great America in 2000! It was short lived but bad ass! I want to ride X2, rode Tatsu though.
I completely agree! my first looping roller coaster was new revolution
I went today but tatsu AND x2 were closed :( but i went on every other rollercoaster. Plus we went to universal studios for 2 days before, so i only got 1 day at magic mountain and sadly the 2 best coasters were closed haha, hope to visit soon again but its a 7 hour drive from where i live
great vid, very informational for my upcoming trip. well earned sub
X2 was really dissapointing imo, jt was fast ig but i didnt find it intense or exciting, agree with batman and goliath though
Ok hear me out, on the finally on golf rush (the helix) it's pulls some pretty sick Gs!
Scream is awesome, always a must when we go to Magic Mountain.
now i haven’t ridden either coaster in about 3+ years and definitely haven’t ridden the gci retrack but you are 100% correct in the fact that the overall pacing of apocalypse is great/much better than ghostrider and provides a more intense experience out of the gate, plus it suits the theming by focusing on speed and laterals. however as an orange county native, throughout my entire life riding ghost rider from my first ride in kindergarten to my most recent night ride during knotts scary farm, it murders apocalypse in the intensity in regards to airtime and headchoppers. i think they both offer different rides and when people think of top coasters people tend to think of flashy air time moments or drops rather than a whole experience start to finish. while i would agree apocalypse is overall a more intense ride ghost rider is a significantly more impactful and memorable ride.
P.S. if you haven’t gotten the chance to ride ghostrider at night do it it’s absolutely insane
also great video been really enjoying these
Thanks for the input! I have similarly been riding both of these coasters ever since I was about 5 to 6 years old. I have ridden both in the front and back, day and night, rain and shine, and for me, I have always seen Ghostrider as a more relaxed ride, with the larger, more drawn out elements. And of course my video explains my thoughts on Apocalypse. Both are great coasters and I don't dislike Ghostrider in any way, I just feel that Apocalypse gets overlooked upon because of Ghostrider, even though it is a very solid coaster. Either way, I'll be riding El Toro in a few weeks for the first time, so I'll likely have a new top wooden coaster soon!
I love all these rides. One of my favs, and it's not a coaster, is Crazanity. Freaky as hell! Love Magic Mountain
Was looking for this comment. Crazanity is waaaay more intense than most of these rides!
I likened myself to a very hardcore enthusiast.... very few coasters with a level 10 intensity rating rattle me... having said that.... X-2 to this very day still gives me the shakes. i don't know what it is... that first drop? the first inversion? I've gone on it maybe a dozen times in my life, and it still scares the living crap out of me.
Me too. X2 and TC are the only 2 rides, that no matter how hard I resist, I end up clutching the restraints with dear life..
X2 first drop vs Tatsu's pretzel loop. Both are legendary!
Yessir!
Hahaha 🤣 your scream presentation
LMAO Thanks, I can be a little *too* passionate about some coasters sometimes...
Always welcome!
If Green Lantern was still in the park, I would rank it as the most intense coaster at the park. That ride was so rough that I didn’t bother to ride it again. It was literally a one and done.
I am actually the one in a million who passionately loved that ride! It was so forceful and unpredictable, providing an insanely intense experience every single time! I marathoned that ride several times when it was in operation, and I would also prefer it over the S&S Free Spins!
@@M-NL2 woah
I spent an entire day at six flags just as covid went down. We had short waits in line and we hit it off with Batman and we were rattled. We rallied and hit all the big ones. Then we did that big swing which I had the hardest time with. The anticipation of getting released down killed me! It was such a beautiful day and I had the best time.
I haven't been on a roller coaster since the launch of Viper. Viper made me realize that I wasn't built for that s.h.i.t.
Riddlers first drop was intense asf lol
I remember i rode x2 for the first time and i was 12 and so since i was small i kept on hitting my head in between the restraints the whole ride
Your so good i dont think that you have a single dislike
Scream is amazing and comfy it's relaxing
8:17 X2 had to remind u 😂😂
I agree with your list but if I have to choose between flight deck and Batman choose flight deck
I find it more intense
But Batman is a good ride
The amount of roller coasters this guy has been on is crazy
DO NOT come for Ghostrider like that she is at the top of her game !! 😤😂
I find it interesting how many MM’s coasters are underrated. In my eyes, Apocalypse, Goliath, Riddler, Superman, Viper, and Scream don’t get enough respect for what they do right.
I rode Batman today thinking it was a chill ride…. That thing was crazy!! lol
Excellent job on your comments. They are the best compared to other channels.
Nice presentations!!
:D
Just went on tatsu for the first time yesterday I'm 5'2 and only like 110 lbs. The moment of going straight down and then going on your back was the most intense moment I felt out of the whole day yesterday and I completely forgot I watched this video a year ago to prepare myself but tatsu was closed for a bit during the time.
I really like riddles and full throttle. The fast rides are awesome.
The Scream was our starter ride! Goliath was ALWAYS my favorite 🤩. I recommend to go visit!! 😉…..I wish I would have rode X1 (I did get to ride X2). Highly recommend this park!!!😉😉😎
I’m a weird coaster enthusiast but I really like insane lateral forces
Just discovered this channel and I have to say - I love it!
Thank you so much!
This video is AMAZING! I love your channelllllll!!!!!!
Thank you so much!!! :DDDD
My friend and I rode Batman last year after riding 8 other coasters...and after we both said "ok...we need to have lunch and take a break." I grey out everytime.
My first coaster ride at 6flags was Goliath. That first drop is no joke. Haha… never tried X2 yet. 😬
X2 is awesome.. My last ride was in the very back seat and it made all rides before on it feel puny LOL. It was so intense I had no idea what was happening and loved it all the same. Tatsu's pretzel is insane, again I find that to be a back seat ride for sure. But you are correct, the rest of the ride is graceful and more scenic than anything. However that pretzel is enough to really stand out and make it a desirable multi ride. Goliath is the weirdest hyper coaster ever. It does nothing for the first half then slams you in your seat for the second half and the only coaster I have ever greyed out on. Every ride. I only got one spot of air time on it, ever, in the very front row over the camelback. It's also the only hyper I know of that doesn't have a single spot of airtime in the back. I kind of hate it overall to be honest and keep hoping beyond hope it's replaced with a B&M hyper. Apocalypse was closed last time I was there, which was usual for me LOL. I don't really like GCI woodies, I much prefer the old CCI and now Gravity Group layouts, but I will definitely ride it if it's open next time. As far as Scream, I am 6 ft 3 and yet still have had some nasty ear bashing on that ride which I never got on its clone Medusa at SFGA. I find Riddlers to give me a headache every time, there is this kind of rattle in it that vibrates my head the entire ride and even made me feel sick last time. It's not rough in any way, it's hard to explain, it's like a vibration. I adore Batman and it's one of only two coasters that makes my legs literally feel full of pins and needles in the end helix. Full Throttle is underrated and has great hang time and a crazy spot of airtime at the end. Viper is a nothing to me and always was, I don't feel intensity or pleasure on it but have ridden it maybe 10 times in both front and back. I hate the brakes brining you to a full stop (although I am thankful for that on Goliath's mid course lol) but it's not THAT rough for an arrow multi looper. I preferred the GASM at Great Adventure. I missed Ninja in this list and find it to be an underrated ride. I do agree with most of the ratings here but Twisted C was being built when I was last there so I haven't ridden that nor West Coast Racers, obviously. I am glad in a way that I waited as next visit will mean my first RMC single rail as well. Three all new steel coasters I have never been on and one woodie, so it will be an amazing trip.
I only rode 4 of the ones you said, and they are Riddler's Revenge, Apocalypse, Superman, & Batman.
