I don't understand why people knock on rides for being clones. 99% of guests have no idea that it is a clone, and that is often why boomerangs are often one of the most popular coasters at a park. The vast majority of the people dont travel the country riding coasters.
Exactly. Only enthusiasts care about clones.
@@triple7marc I don't get the hate for SLCs and Boomerangs. They don't really hurt at all because the restraints on SLCs are as soft as a pillow
If it weren’t for cloned coasters, none of my RCT parks would’ve made a profit!
@@howenator Exactly! I actually ride Mind Eraser every time I'm at SFA, because it's not even painful.
The Coaster Roaster
I know a lot of GP, I have literally never met 1 who liked a boomerang. They just aren’t good rides
Before going in, I just know that Skyrush is going to be highly ranked
Augustus of Prima Porta ding ding ding ding
Same. Knew it!
I am one that LOVES sky rush!
Same. Hate that ride.
Poor Skyrush, I love it!! I have no idea where it is on the list as I'm still watching the opening sequence, but it is one of mty favorites. (There was actually a picture of me, and I should have bought it, where half of my back is off the seat- wing seat) because while going the chain, I decided to move my back half off the seat and see if I can move it back before we got to the top- I couldn't, and I couldn't move once we crested the hill. I know the restraints are strange, but I will say they did keep me in. 😂😂
4:34 You can NEVER go wrong with a B&M Hyper!!
I love to see coaster youtubers shouting each other out!
It’s always good when El Toro Ryan and Airtime Thrills post new videos on the same day!
@Calvin Stewart Its a better day when we find out Indiana Beach is reopening!
Calvin Stewart and when coaster studios uploads
I agree, and coaster studios!

"Magnum is a national treasure and I cringe when I hear talk of removing it for something else."-Thank you for saying that. I'm a big fan of Arrow coasters and they always seem to be polarizing riders but I desperately hope that Magnum and Viper remain standing despite the opinions of their detractors. As more and more of Arrow's coasters are torn down for dubious reasons, large chunks of roller coasters history are being erased as many of these now defunct Arrow creations were record breakers when they opened.
Agreed, I grew up riding Arrow coasters and never had a big gripe with them. Cedar Point is my home park, so Magnum was my first really big ride in my lifetime. I paint my opinion with nostalgia, sure... but the ride is a classic. I have been to Magic Mountain as well, and really liked Viper.
@@aallgod That's one hell of an awesome home park to have! Mine was Six Flags Great America for most of my life which is a damn good park too. Maybe 3rd in the Six Flags chain? Now Carowinds is my home park so now that I think of it I guess I have been fairly lucky there although nothing beats Cedar Point. Have you noticed any good news about that place opening this summer?
I completely agree. Arrows are beautiful
My home park is kings island, a lot of my friends wouldn't ride vortex with me because they thought it was way too rough. I personally loved it, yes it was rough and sometimes felt like the train was going to derail but man the thrills and forces you felt just overpowered any jolting or discomfort. Almost cried the last time I rode it on the last day it was open before being torn down.
Viper is amazing. But it could use Vekoma vests if it wants to live a bit longer.
I see this video - my first reaction:
He's gono put skyrush as number 1
I still don't understand the hate, I love that ride.
I love that ride. Mympersonal favorite
How can you not like skyrush?
@@flitter5400 i love it but i know he hates it - he says the restraints ruin it
@@Loopingthrills yeah but they fixed them after like the first season.
The Beast always holds a special place in my heart because it was my first major wooden coaster. Kings Island is my home park and I appreciate the legacy behind this ride. The helix finale is one of my favourite moments on any roller coaster. Don't forget the amazing night rides which accelerates the thrill of speeding through the woods in darkness.
You are my brother I swear
They definitely should add a b&m hyper to magic mountain
I hope they make something good and with intensity like Tatsu or X2.
I wish they could too; actually, I hope for a Giga, but let's dream. SFMM will most likely not invest in a coaster with that high of a price tag.
Slenderman 2324 especially now
mastergolucky should have added a B&M
However I heard they are adding a raptor in 2021
Hey Airtime Thrills, did you hear Indiana Beach is finally purchased and planning to reopen in the summer of 2020?
Not with COVID going around...
@@infi_thecoasterthusie6952 Don't be so negative things could still possibly open by summer!
Purpl3d very late summer at best
disappointing but true rip
Yep
Airtime Thrills: I come off Valraven more satisfied then when I come off Maverick.
Me: Say sike right now
Maverick isn't even in CP's top 4
I am not as high on Mavrick as other people are, but I still put it at three. It intrigues me, what would you put ahead of it?
@@rileybabler6082 Literally every other coaster at the park. It has the worst restrains of any ride I have every been on; they assault my thighs, my junk, and my jugulars every time I ride, and all those problems are exacerbated by the layout. Maverick is one of only a handful of coasters I've been on that has a negative enjoyability. There is no exhilaration, no fun, no enjoyment, only pain. Send those trains back to the 8th circle of Hell where they belong.
@@rileybabler6082 My CP top 5 is...
1. SteVe
2. Millie
3. Dragster
4. Magnum
5. Maverick
@@A.F.Whitepigeon Woah settle down lmao
Airtime Thrills: The Beast has a great woodsy secluded setting. *footage shows a cell tower in the background*
To be fair The Beast was there before the cell tower.
There is nothing wrong with vests on dives/wings. Valravn and GateKeeper are awesome. And I completely agree with your opinion on Magnum. So underrated and awesome today!
I completely agree! The vest restraints do take away from the airtime a bit, but its still there. The lack of any headbanging is a huge plus for me.
Magnum is still one of my favorite coasters to this day. So much great airtime!
As a person with a head so big that they had to special order an adult XL helmet for me in Pee-Wee league baseball, I’ll make the trade of less airtime for no head banging 8 days a week 😂
Gatekeeper's awesome, but valravn's kinda meh for me. The drops were ok, and that last inversion was awesome, but it was one of my last rides I rode at the park and it just didn't live up to the standard I had for Cedar Point. A just ok ride in a park of world class attractions gets a little left out. Plus my home park got Yukon Striker the next year which just puts Valravn to shame.
Edit: Also yeah, magnum's in my top 5 for cedar point. That last bunch of hills is insane.
I still dont understand why magnum is better than blue streak, at least blue streak didnt break my bones
@@millenniumforce7166 you sound like someone who never got to ride the mean streak.
As someone who lives 20 minutes from Hershey, Skyrush is my favorite rollercoaster. The trick is to not let the ride attendants tighten your lap restraint too much. If it's slightly loose you're in for one hell of a ride. The intensity is just insane.
Personally, The Beast is one of my favorite rides. A nighttime ride in the very back seat is fucking wild and I love it
I'm shocked that I-305 isn't even an honorable mention. I was sure that it would be a top 5 coaster here.
Who doesn’t like I 305
Coaster Film gp
I was basing this mainly on enthusiast opinions and most love i305
@@AirtimeThrills I agree that most do. It's at my home park and is in my top 5, but I know you don't even have it in your top 50.
@@coasterfilm6477 well I hate I305 cuz I hate blacking out. intensity < airtime
15) I love these. I'd love to see new variations with larger drops.
14) RMC it
13) Love it but it is rougher than I had expected it to be.
12) Absolutely LOVE it. I rank it just behind Diamondback and Mako for B&M hypers. Plus, you said your most recent ride was on a cold rainy day.
11) Never ridden it
10) Not as good as Apollo's Chariot
9) Never ridden it
8) It's fine. Vest restraints make no sense on dive coasters
7) It REALLY depends on where you sit
6) Honestly, other than the drop I think the main reason you like this is because SFMM is your home park and the contrast is so big
5) Very fun in the front, especially at night.
4) Still a great ride though not the best giga
3) A classic. Special memories from when I was a kid
2) Greatest coaster west of Cedar Point
1) Never ridden it
I agree about #7 -- for me, my favorite ride is back car of train, middle row, lefthand seat... when not sitting on the wheels I find the ride to not beat me up so much... love the airtime hills at the end, but that lapbar smash and wheel rattle is the death of me when I don't sit in the right spot.
Last time I rode The Beast, I was in the front car and had the best ride of my life.
X2 in my opinion is the best coaster in the country
12:41
"I'm tall enough to avoid the head banging."
Me: *there's no need to flex.*
All these woodies just need Gci to retrack them and give them millennium fliers. Not every coaster needs to redone by RMC.
This video: "Speed isn't enough I NeED AiRtiME"
Me: "...no just give me faster coasters"
Also I don't get the hate for valravn either. Though I also will never understand your hate for vest restraints. They're so comfortable and are way better. Also saying it's better than maverick is....okay what?
The vast majority of enthusiasts prefer airtime. Myself included.
@@demonghost6361 not me. I prefer speed and laterals over airtime.
I always get stapled by the vest restraints which makes them less comfy...and also vest restraints are awesome on B&M inverts like Banshee, I think people just don’t like them on dive coasters
@@giancarlofelicianocastaned9316 that is perfectly respectable as long as you aren’t making fun of airtime thrills’ opinion like the person who commented
@@demonghost6361 i am deal with it.
Viper is probably one of my most favorite rides in general, besides the one transition after the bat-wing into the corkscrew, I love this ride, I think that it is very intense, and I make sure to get a ride on it every time I go to Magic Mountain.
The restraints don't bother me, but being a Yelper, I read so many comments from people who DO get hurt by those restraints. It was once the hot roller coaster at Magic Mountain, now the lines are only a few minutes long. I also love Viper, but would not be surprised if it's torn down soon.
Talks about The Beast: “Yaaa!” Doesn’t talk about the night ride: “WUT?”
Before I rode beast I didnt think would be so rough, we were getting airtime on the straight track, just make sure to ride it in a non wheel seat for best experience
Nitro and steel force are both amazing and underrated hypercoasters, both easily better diamondback imo
Random Porpoise Agreed
Agreed on both, though I may be biased as someone who's home park is SFGA and Dorney is my 2nd.
I'll be riding both tomorrow in a cross state trip from ohio and I can't wait to report my findings
@@mikes6457 I'm very jealous of you! Enjoy your trips to Dorney and SFGAdv, you won't be disappointment!
you quoted Theme Park Crazy's famous saying of that "You Can't Go Wrong With A B&M Hyper" will you ever go with my famous quote that "WE NEED THEME PARK CRAZY TO MAKE MORE VIDEOS!"
I second this
Theme Park Crazy videos are like a fine Tiramisu!
Theme Park Crazy videos are like a fine caramel drizzle
Theme Park Crazy videos are like a fine vanilla latte, but Airtime Thrills has an extra pump of Carmel.
Beast is one of my favorite coasters because I got a trimless back row night ride and the lats felt like it was going to rip off the track
I don't think there is a coaster where the time of day matters as much as it does on the Beast.
It's amazing how when you get a slow-feeling and boring ride on the Beast, you can just hop back on it when the temprature has cooled down or in a different seat and get a wild ride. The rain ride and night ride are both godlike
Elizabeth Waterman yeah it’s very inconsistent
@@MillenniumForceMan I think that's a good thing, though. Every ride is a different experience, and the bad rides just make the great rides feel even better.
With BGW as my home park, I feel like I’ve gotten a good feel for Apollo’s Chariot. Some days it’s a pretty weak ride, but more often than not it has lots of very good floater, which might also explain why you thought it was so good in the past. I’m not trying to come off as aggressive or one of the fanboys who won’t stand for anything negative about their favorite ride, I’m just trying to say my opinion
Same, looked like when he took that footage it was running a bit slow, especially woth that fog
Agreed. The variation between how weak or strong it can be is significant. On a hot summer night it can produce some crazy floater
This was one of my very first experiences with a coaster it being my 7 ride I ever rode, I love Apollo’s Chariot but it isn’t my favorite ride at Busch gardens that honor goes to Loch Ness just because I love every element of that ride right down to its history and second is Verbolten which I don’t think I need to explain.
Same with nitro
Amazing quality! Definitely my favorite RUclipsr for coasters!
I love your bluntness with Goliath.
"It sucks" XD
Six flags
More clones
More fun
I like the Batman inverts
Skyrocket 2s are my favorite clone.
Nailed it. Agree with pretty much everything here. Never understood the hate for B&M Dives, they’re a ton of fun, Valravn included.
I think Valravn has inherited the reputation its previous version Mantis had. Ride it or not. I know I haven't given it a go. I shutter to get back on the track that featured the king ballbuster roller coaster.
Loved this video. Thank you for doing what you do.
But can we all agree steel force is smooth as butter? Probably one of the smoothest hypers out there
Steel Force is easily one of my favorites and it's smoother than Billie Dee!
The first b&m hyper is also butter smooth, they did Apollo in my opinion perfectly, then againg I dont have any other B&M hypers so who am I to say, got good rides in 2019.
Having Steel Force over your home park for so long, you naturally adapt a soft spot for it.
I've got Steel, Nitro, Apollo, Intimidator, Goliath (SFMM) and Fury on my Hyper/Giga credits. Steel, Nitro (dat greyout), Intimidator, Apollo, then Goliath.... Fury stands alone til I have another Giga. (Yes, Kah... but apples vs oranges)
..... I know, It's been entirely too long and a half since I've been to Hershey. Roller Soaker was the main event last time I was there.
Behemoth's layout may be uninspiring but it is one hell of a ride. I love Nitro at SFGAdv so when I went to CW I thought Behemoth would be similar, I was wrong. Behemoth is an aggresive B&M and has more ejector airtime than floater, it feels almost like an Intamin. This is coming from someone who grew up on Superman at SFNE too.
U r The best RUclipsr that does top 15 lists
You can’t go wrong with airtime thrills
Apollo's Chariot is a strong hyper which, from the back row (at least when I rode it), was pulling strong floa-jecter airtime at a couple of points. Sure, the hills were mostly floater, but the main drop and one of the last hills were strong from the back. Plus, it did pull some decent positives in the helix. Had the edges of my vision graying a bit on that.
I rode it on Halloween and I got so much airtime and with some hella strong floater and ejector on every single drop even standing airtime on a few of them it was the best it’s ever run in years!! And with the freedom of the B&M Hyper trains leaning towards on the edge of the train while on the helix was an awesome experience
I don’t understand the purpose of comparing nitro’s airtime to el toro’s, they’re obviously going for completely different types of airtime, if you want your organs ripped out of your throat, ride toro. If you wanna have fun, ride nitro.
Floater vs Ejector. I prefer floater.... best experienced ragdolling in a B&M clamshell. I do really like positive Gs tho. Graying out in a helix, or getting "heavy feet" on an invert... good stuff.
Agreed, completely diff... this guy must have just been on nitro and steel force on one visit each.
Six flags great adventure is my home park an even though I prefer intense ride like kingda ka and el toro I like those better nitro is an amazing ride to go on if everything else is closed or has a long line nitros airtime is truly amazing
I'm so bummed that I'm not gonna get an early jump on amusement parks this summer. ☹️
Ok what you did with Airtime Myke and the 4D just made me laugh harder than I have in Years !!!!! That was Brilliant !!!!!!!!!!
X2 is fantastic! The most intense coaster experience out there and totally unique!
Jumped on it right after tatsu and wow both rides are great!
It’s all about expectations. I went in expecting a beatdown on the legend and came away very impressed and had a fun time on it, kings island is my home park and I’ve rode the beast my entire life and it’s just never done anything for me. It’s a rough and boring ride but it is a fun time if you ride it with some friends and especially at night. Valravn never disappointed me either. I love the drop and the inversions and the views are amazing from the top. I went in expecting a very fun ride and it delivered
You lost me when you said valravn is better than Maverick 🤣
Same.
Yeah that’s a hot take even though Maverick is overrated AF
@@Scream162 it is kinda overrated. there is a few elements that just seem filler. (even tho most of it is kick ass) and the trim brakes after the second launch are dumb imo. if the safe speed for the rest of the track is 62 mph, then why did you accelerate me to 70 mph... just to slam the brakes right after??? i dont want to hit the brakes.... if it shot you at the safe speed and there was no trim brake section right after i think it would be much better. like cedar point has the dragster right over there... we dont need another launch
Maverick vs Valravn is just a show of what you like better. If you like intensity and ejector then you like Maverick more. However if you like smooth and graceful rides you like Valravn more.
Same
As usual, an awesome video! So well put together, well done airtime thrills, please never stop making these amazing uploads my friend!
Your videos are quickly becoming my favorite as far as coaster channels go. Always great, interesting content. Thanks for helping to keep me sane until I can ride again!
I love the floater air on Nitro, especially in the front row. Steel Force is a must-ride in the front. I get launched out of my seat every time I ride it. I don't get any pain on SkyRush from the lap-bars. I've seen a lot of people say the worst part for the pain was on the brake run before the station. The last time I rode SkyRush, I felt the restraints actually loosen a bit after stopping on that final brake run.
Raging bull better be on here.
Edit: Ayyyy.
The Beast is great if you understand it should be compared to older woodies and easily blows them out of the water.
It was not built yesterday, it is not a hyper twister rmc super twister train omega 9000 coaster, it was built ground up by the park over 40 years ago.
Southeastern Thrills Only because park management has consistently wussed out and slowed it down with more and more trim. The point of that coaster is the out of control feeling, which comes to a head as you enter the double helix. Besides, they did a ton of retracking last season, so it’s a bit less rough now.
Top quality content as always!!
Love your videos 👍
Okay I LOVE wooden roller coasters and I've ridden almost every CCI in the country (I would kill to ride Mega Zeph), and I have to say that The Legend is my favorite wooden roller coaster. I like it more than Outlaw Run, Mystic Timbers, Lightning Rod, etc. I really don't see why everybody thinks it's that rough. It doesn't even have any jackhammer moments or anything. I love getting thrown around every turn and that curved drop is INSANE! Plus it gives some great airtime in places. My favorite wooden coasters are 1. Legend 2. Rampage 3. Mystic Timbers 4. Beast 5. Outlaw Run. That being said, I found The Raven to be more rough than The Legend!
On Boss, I like it enough. Honestly, there are three main problems with it: The Gerstlauer trains, the midcourse brake run, and that wide turn after the midcourse brake run. The Gerstlauer trains run on square wheels. Legend used to have them, but they were replaced by PTC trains I think two years later. Six Flags St. Louis needs to get some. The midcourse brake run slows down the ride too much when it's supposed to be focused on speed. That turn after the mid course is WAY too high off the ground. It slows down the ride so much that it's in danger of volleying sometimes and the sometimes have to add sandbags to trains. If Six Flags St. Louis replaced the trains, did some extra retracking, loosened up the mid course, and lowered that turn, it would be an elite coaster.
What is Rampage and where is it at?
I snuck into SFNO and walked the track length of Mega Zeph back in 2009.
Jacob Coburn it's a CCI wooden coaster at Alabama Splash Adventure near Birmingham, Alabama
Only in the USA would Nitro be considered a “supporting” rollercoaster - everywhere else it would be the top attraction of the park lol
tewsgcdc Fgech k all of Energylandia’s supporting coasters are kiddie coasters.
@@tewsgcdcfgechk908 Energylandia is extremely overrated
"Intimidator" 🇺🇸 has entered chat.
"Behemoth" 🇨🇦 has entered chat.
.... "Magnum XL200" 🇺🇸 has entered chat.
In California, it would be considered the top attraction of the park.
This is a pretty solid list! Every one you mentioned inspired some kind of feeling in me
I absolutely loved Nitro when I got to ride it last week. I loved the big hills and floater airtime. X2 as well, when I got to ride it a few years ago, it was so much fun!
I don’t know about you guys, but cocoa cruiser is my number one don’t bash me
You’re profile makes me laugh 😆
*me who has Blue Streak as my number 2 best coaster:* dont bash me ;^;
I have The Beast as my number one coaster. If I had a dime for every time someone's called me nostalgia blind...I could at least buy a candy bar
@@elizabethwaterman7793 rip, I'll try to ride it one day ^-^
Bruh, how is it not the most amazing ride in the world, Great pumpkin coaster? Corkscrew is probably a close second for best ride in the world.
You already know my stance on The Beast
Kings Island Fanboy what?
Dosware Pictures :)
Magnum at CP was the first coaster I ever rode and to this day I still love it so much between the airtime and nostalgia it gives me, so it will forever be one of my favorites and I never wanna see it go
Thanks so much for the love for Raging Bull. It is at my home park and doesn't get much love from enthusiasts. As someone who rides it almost once a week when the park it open I totally agree that it should be in the top 3 B & M hypers. It's an awesome ride! Thanks for showing it some love!
I'm a massive boss fan, but it would make a great rmc. If it's an improvement, I wouldn't mind.
I used to loooove the boss. Now, it’s soooo rough I can barely stand it. Not worth the headache, especially with American thunder in the front of the park. I’ll take that over the boss any day. Sadly, even screaming eagle is better these days.
SFStL is my home park. I’ve loved the Boss for years but the removal of the double helix and trimming off the MCBR has ruined the ride. It’s no longer the same coaster.
FINALLY somebody is actually defending nitro!
Really glad to see some Raging Bull love out there. That coaster is amazing and is still one of my favorites to this day and safely in my top 10.
Yeah Rip Ride Rockit caught my eye in the honorable mentions. I've heard a lot of people say it's rough, but that's probably because they rode it before it was redone. I rode it twice and it was very smooth.
The beast is my favorite ride
I have heard that Intamin actually designed the Lapbars to staple the riders because of the insane forces the ride creates and the Steep lifthill Puts the Riders in the perfect Position for that. Now I havent ridden it so I can't confirm it but people said that the restraints are released slightly on the Brake run (it appears that the restraints don't Always do that tho). But If its true that would be reason why they are this way. Apparently Flying Aces doesn't have that Problem which may be because the Lapbars don't need to staple you because the forces are Nowhere near as crazy as Skyrush. It would definitely be a weird move to Design Lapbars that can hurt peoples legs to death.
Theres no excuse to staple riders like that, its ridiculous
What's weird is I didn't mind the restraints when it was hauling but minded them when it was running slowly in the afternoon.
If they would have moved the restraints 2 inches closer to your body it would be fine, but nooo lets staple your thighs down but not your hips
Great idea for a video!
Awesome video, I don't think that I have ever had a bad experience on a coaster except for two Mystery Mine at Dollywood with lots of headbanging and then when I rode Twisted Colossus at Magic Mountain for the first time I got a brused elbow, however I still enjoyed both coasters and all of the other coasters that I have ridden!!!
I am so glad someone else finally agrees that Valravn is a great ride. I’ve seen so much unnecessary hate for it and I’ve never understood.
Emgien Beats it’s not wet enough.
I haven't ridden but I still don't understand the hate for it.
I think if ValRavan was at a smaller park like Valley Fair people would like it more. Imo, I think it's pretty fun
I just watch an ElToroRyan video.
Video ideas for you: top 10 launches you’ve experienced, or top 15 favorite coaster elements you’ve experienced
Sick transition from the Beast's tunnel into the intro!
I actually think the Beast is a great thrill coaster. I love the laterals on the first turn after the first drop and the double helix. I also find the back section of this ride (between the rooved section and secound lift hill) to be really fun. There are some dead sections, but overall I think it’s a great coaster.
Finally! Someone who thinks the "boring part" of the Beast is fun
I think you should of included titan in there. It’s such a long ride and I love it for that, it has one good airtime moment and 2 amazing helixes, but it doesn’t live up to my expectations for what a hyper coaster coaster should be. I rate it 3rd in the park and I’ve seen coaster enthusiasts put it ahead of giant in their rankings, I just don’t see why.
I haven't seen enough people say they like it to make it polarizing
True, but I swear it has a somewhat big fan base.
I thought its sister Goliath would be on here too. The big drop makes it a GP hit as far as I know but I swear I've gotten in enough online arguments equating the Goliath fans to Boss fans, lol. It just ain't it beyond the drop and helix.
There seems to be way more fans of Titan than Goliath, but I live in Texas so that’s obviously skewing my sample of opinions. If you like positive G’s, you love it! If not, you’re gonna hate it. I like positive Gs and I think Titan is one of the most underrated coasters in the coaster community that I have been on.
theheardtheorem it’s a good coaster and all but it sits next to one of the best coasters in texas so it kinda ruins how good it is
Great list, I had strong opinions about just about every coaster.
Coasters I love in this video: American Eagle, Millennium Force, X2
Coasters I hate in this video: Free Spins, Legend, Skyrush
Loooooooooool the timing of the, "Goliath, which sucks." is amazing xD great vid again!
I love Magnum! Last time I went to the park, I found myself liking it more than Millennium Force because of the airtime. Although I could see where the roughness to it could take away from it for a lot of folks.
- Gary
I think the younger you were when riding beast, the better it is due to nostalgia
I only got to ride Apocalypse once but I spent the rest of the day talking about it to my group to the point they asked me to stop. I loved it and can't wait to go on it again.
Yay new vid
I thought Riddler's Revenge would end up on this list
Sell SCREAM and convert riddlers to a floorless and problem solved :D
I when rode scream it was running really well and I enjoyed it plus when I rode Riddler's Revenge I enjoyed the fact that it is a stand-up coaster😂
Protip: to avoid getting your package destroyed by a B&M standup, simply bend your knees before the restraint locks. The OTSR should be positioned within an inch of your shoulders.
Man, back row on riddler rough.
@@lillyrose1873 because your not a boy you might like stand ups better.
Skyrush Voted: Best simulator of leg amputation
Great video! I love the Beast to be honest! I like it about as much as I like Mystic Timbers!
I find Morgan hypers like Mamba or Steel Force so ODD. Sometimes, I get absolutely zero airtime. And then I can ride again in the same row and get boatloads. Practically without the ride running at a different speeds at all. Superman El Ultimo Escape gives guaranteed airtime tho ;)
steel force is great!!! at the 2019 Dorney Park Coaster Campout, I got 10 rides in 24 hours including one at 10:45pm at night. The ERT and night rides helped me see that has great airtime, but it does help if your a smaller person. Larger and taller people*ahem**chris* tend to not get a lot of airtime, and I will defend this to my grave.
I only went to Dorney Park once (summer 2019) but I had a great experience there. I got SO MUCH airtime on Steel Force but I'm also barely 5ft tall, so maybe that does impact it.
Aha that might be why I love it. One of the only benefits of being short haha.
2:07 killed me hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Great video! I love Valravn! Magnum and Millenium Force are good coasters in my opinion, but Magnum is kinda rough and Millenium Force gave me my first gray out experience which scared me at the time. I'll definitely keep riding these coasters though.
I wish everyone's Beast experience was like mine when it first opened. The theming was incredible with all the water and scare tactics ! It also didn't hurt that it was getting dark. Best woodie ever back then!
X2 IS AMAZING!! You just have to ride it more than once to understand it otherwise you will hate it
I rode it once and loved it
I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Nitro
I hear it all the time
Skyrush blew me away the first time I rode it. Never have I felt like I was going to die on I ride until Skyrush. Even with the bars being tight on the thighs it still seemed like I was going to fly out of my seat. Pretty crazy. I still would put Storm Chaser ahead of it (I'm crazy like that.) I just love launch coasters.
Millennium Force will always and forever be my favorite!
I suspect Kumba will be high on the list.
EDIT - I was wrong.
It should have been on the list. Enthusiast here and I hate Kumba. Or Roomba as I call it because it sucks. I know plenty of others who agree with me. Also know plenty that think it's a top 5 coaster.

I saw the same thing
I just think we should take all the “rough” wooden coasters and put them in my backyard 😂🤣
I LOVE VIPER at magic mountain. It's my first coaster and it's truly a piece of art. Still one of my favorites and should always have a place at the park. Never demolish it!
great video
For my home park at SFOG, I cant believe how polarizing Blue Hawk is. Fine by me as it has some of the shortest lines of any coaster next to scream machine (which feels like a car crash...looking forward to the retracking currently going on). Blue hawk is pretty much entirely over water which is unique in itself and has some of the best near miss/head choppers I’ve experienced on a steel coaster. It also looks awesome in Blue. The head bashing it used to have from the shoulder restraints when it was Ninja is no more...
Yup. Thighcrush- (err, Skyrush), a little hard on the legs. At least the wing seats are.
Apparently the inner sears aren't as bad. But I got put in wing seats on the third row both times I rode it. Left side first time, right side the second.
Worth it.
I’m so happy that my home park is great adventure. Sadly, I’ve been sick of el toro that I’ve been mostly just riding nitro. Can’t wait to try the elite 3 with Jersey devil later this year.
I personally love skyrush. It’s true, the lap bars are painful. My legs were numb by the time I got off. But that didn’t change my opinion on the ride. I went on it again, front row. It’s a great ride and I recommend it
HOWD I KNOW skyrush was gonna be on this list😂😂 i personally don't have a problem with the restraints, other than on the wing seat
X2 was my first big ride when I was like 12 and i loved it so it's always gonna have a place in my heart
I think Apollo's chariot is universally loved i don't know if its polarizing but I respect your options on it.
