Can we just appreciate how Taylor the video with cinematic shots which he takes himself rather than generic on-ride pov's like most theme park creators?
You all prolly dont care but does someone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly forgot the account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me.
As a Spaniard, every time I see PortAventura in one of this kind of videos I feel like a proud mom. I was born the same year PortAventura opened, and in fact the first time I was there I was 6 months old!! I go there at least once a year, so that makes it 25 times at least, and I love it so much. You won't see me riding Red Force or Hurakan Condor as I'm terrified of them, but as a theme park/roller coaster enthusiast I'm always in awe of the park
Yeh, I didn't really get this. I90 runs from Chicago to Cleveland, right past Sandusky. If you are coming from south, then you do have to leave the interstate, but you will still be on main highways.
I'm german and i am so proud that 2 parks from germany made it in this video. Even if i wasn't in phantasialand myself yet. But i'm planning it for next year. I was in the europa park once because it on the other side of the country but i was so impressed. I loved it there. Even though i wasn't able to see everything because this park is so big. I hope one day i can visit some nice parks in america as well.
I’ve been subscribed to you since a “young kid” named Taylor, with less than 20,000 subs, excitedly had a passion for riding roller coasters. You have become such an amazing young man that turned your passion into something extraordinary! Although I watch all of your videos, I’m not one to comment very often. When I do, I always have to tell you how proud I am of you. As a mom of 2 ( both in their 30’s), I can spot an exceptional young adult when I see one. You ARE exceptional and your parents must be bursting with pride toward you. Anyway... I continue to follow you on your journey and know that your future will be truly wonderful in the field you have chosen. I absolutely enjoyed this video. Take care! 👍👍😀😀
I think either Busch park could’ve used at least a shout-out. Especially Williamsburg imo being one of the best looking parks and has an excellent collection of rides!
I think you should do more of these lists, I am not just saying that because I love them but they are a good way to gain many views. Mainly coaster enthusiast watch this channel but lists will gain many GP views as well. Great job and stay safe.
This list is spot on! I would say that these barely missed the cut:- - Magic Mountain - Great Adventure - Busch Gardens Williamsburg - Tivoli Gardens - Liseberg - Energylandia
Moin aus Deutschland ich bin froh zu hören das euch unsere Freizeitparks gefallen, ich hatte zwar immer gedacht das ihr diese garnicht erst kennen würdet. ich bin aber Froh das diese euch gefallen. 😀 '' Moin from Germany im happy to hear that you guys like our German theme parks I was always like no they wouldn't even know them, but im glad to hear that''😀 Sorry for the bad translation 🙈
I'm a little surprised that Busch Gardens Williamsburg didn't make the list. Other than that, I think this seems like a very solid top 15 list that's hard to argue with!
He didn’t include either of his home parks. He used to exclude them on purpose, saying up front that he’s biased and can’t judge them objectively. Maybe by now it’s become a habit. Or maybe he takes them for granted. Or maybe he loves them but they just didn’t quite make the cut. 🤷♂️
@@StamfordBridge makes sense. I don't think King's Dominion should make the list, but BGW is a world class park, so regardless of bias or not I do think it really fits the list.
TheRealSweedie BGW is a special park. Wouldn’t surprise me at all to see it on anyone’s list of the world’s best parks, but it doesn’t really surprise not to see it either.
StamfordBridge yeah I completely agree. Honestly I feel like it could possibly beat out some of the parks on this list within the next 10 years. Every time a new addition comes they redo the entire area
disney world has better theming, but universal has more balance. more rides to suit people that aren’t young children or people reliving the time when they *were* children
I'm totally with you when it comes to Phantasialand. The coaster lineup there is just something every enthusiast out there has to check out. But you should make your way to Efteling in the Netherlands one time. One of the real small Parks you should visit when you're somewhere in the area is Freizeitpark Plohn near Zwickau, Germany. Probably the smallest park ever to have a wooden coaster. It's a small one, but god, it's a fun-machine.
Yeah about the Efteling...😬 he's already been there, but he didn't like it that much apparently. Not that it's a bad thing! Everyone has their own opinion.
Back in 84 i was driving cross country and stopped at kings island. I asked to speak to the park manager and we got in for free to ride the beast in the daytime and an awesome night ride with the park manager as our guide. It was awesome.
If any of you are in Germany for Halloween (or late October) (visiting or living) please go to Europa Park. They change the theme to Halloween & a lot of the attractions are decorated. The workers dress up too, this isn't like 'the haunt' in Great America, although that one is super cool too, I think Europa park does it really well. I was a kid when I went, now I'm an adult and I'm looking forward to going again when I get the chance!
Some of my favorites: Holiday World Six Flags Magic Mountain Cedar Point Six Flags Over Texas Kings Island Six Flags Great America Six Flags Over Georgia
15. Kings Dominion 14. Knoebels 13. Carowinds 12. Six Flags New England 11. Busch Gardens Williamsburg 10. Six Flags Fiesta Texas 9. Six Flags Great Adventure 8. Dollywood 7. Silver Dollar City 6. Kings Island 5. Holiday World 4. Six Flags Magic Mountain 3. Hersheypark 2. Busch Gardens Tampa 1. Cedar Point My opinion
You should make a video where you list every amusement park that should be on people's bucket list. That way, you're not having to narrow it down to a number of favorites, but instead telling us about every park we should visit in our lifetime.
I absolutely love Hersheypark and SFGadv, but my favorite park has to be Knoebels. The ride collection, while not quite the level of Cedar Point of Great Adventure, is awesome with the ridiculous standing air of Phoenix, the bezerk flyers, the stupidly strong bumper cars, as well as a plethora of solid flats, coasters, and awesome old school haunted house, and so much more. They also have awesome food, super reasonable prices, lots of cheap old school theme park games, free museums, and so, so much charm. Operations are great, and they always seem to do everything right. Their maintenance team works overdrive to keep everything in perfect shape even when it's not needed. In just about every aspect of running the park (except maybe the bathrooms) it always feels like Knoebels just goes the extra step even though they'd be just fine without it. I highly recommend anyone in the area please spend at least a full day here, it's truly a special place.
I really hope to make it to the parks in Germany and Japan's DisneySea someday. I love a park with great theming. It takes you out of your everyday life and immerses you in a different world for awhile.
Bush Gardens Williamsburg and Tivoli in Copenhagen Denmark are my all time favourites! The theming at Tivoli is incredible and my go-to park since I was five. I live in the south of Sweden, so it is close by. Bush Gardens is beautiful with all its floral glory and amazing roller coasters. Apollo’s Cheriot is a dream! Cedar Point was a fantastic experience also, and a part of me was left behind in Phantasialand. I wish I could travel all over the world and visit parks like you do! I am so greatful for your videos! / Linda from Sweden
Oh yeah Ohio Parks‼️ represent represent! I love KI and I love CP! Kings Island is my home park and favorite park! Also my dark horse park is Kentucky Kingdom! I love that place too
Kentucky kingdom has some of the best ejector airtime in the world. It has top tier rides but I’d say it’s a B tier park for me from my experience there. I loved my time but the clientele at Kentucky ruined it a little for me no one wore masks while I was there in August
Yessss when he said KI, I was like “finally!!” I’m biased because it’s my home park, but I love it so much. Can’t wait for the next coaster that replaces vortex
@@aaronrumph3291 The closest parks to me are Cedar Point and Kennywood, both two hours away. If it wasn’t for the virus, I would’ve been to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and CA’s Great America as well. Perhaps next year 🙂
@@BNSFWeatherGirl912 You should go with SFMM and Knotts if you want to do a Cali Trip. DK really only has Joker and Medusa you will also be close to Universal Hollywood
@@BNSFWeatherGirl912 Ahh if that's the case then hit DK it does have its charm if you can hit it during a time when the animals are more active and off course Disneyland the second best disney park outside of DisneySea
Man you and the other roller coaster enthusiasts that I watch you guys are making me want to travel around the world just to try all these rides and check out all these parks keep up the great work and thank you for making this video
my quick number 3 of my close by parks my 3 is toverland: nice themed with a handfull of rides and enough space to expand, who knows what they buildt my 2 is Phantasia: last year ive returned there after more than a decade (cause its a expensive entry for my family) and i just love it there, there newest place rookburgh is filed with my favorite theme steampunk my number 1 is the efteling, like europa park (wich ive never been to) is top notch theming with the best darkrides, the most fanciest dive coaster Baron 1898, infamous fairytaleforest and a one of a kind flying dutchman
Port Aventura World is my favourite theme park but I haven't travelled outside Europe yet! Alton Towers is my home park so I'm really proud that it made your top 15, and I totally agree that it's the only UK park worthy of this list! Next year I'm looking to get to Phantasialand and Europa Park... Finally!
Tokyo Disney Sea. Hands down #1. I live in Texas, but now consider TDS as my home park. Been there 4 times so far , and look forward to many , many more visits.
I also prefer Universal over Disney. Mainly due to preferred IPs, attractions, and it's honestly less stressful. When i went to Disney in 2013, the concern was trying to experience everything each park had to offer. Universal with two parks is a little more leisurely.
Disneyland California will always be my favourite the nostalgia is just 0 to none. I love Knottsberry farm, universal studios, Thorpe park (in the uk), Alton Towers as well.
I know you are not very fond of Efteling, because they do not have a very good collection of coasters, but as a themepark it's up there with Phantasialand and Europapark!! Efteling themes everything and for families it's a great immersive park... From your top 15, I've been to Phantasialand since 1986 every 3 to 4 years and I want (and going) to try and visit Port Aventura, Europapark, Cedar Point, Kings Island, Disney Sea, Knott's Berry Farm, Silver Dollar City, Dollywood and Universal Resort Orlando!
So happy Knott's is getting the love it deserves here, I feel like a lot of coaster channels underrate it. I'm a California native whose been to all the major parks here but haven't really explored elsewhere yet, and Knott's is my favorite park in the state too. Great coasters, great atmosphere, good food, and even on a crowded day it's far less busy than Disneyland on their average day.
Lol. I have to laugh when you say Knott’s isn’t crowded because you’re comparing it to Disneyland. When you go to other parks around the country, you’re going to be shocked.
I live in Southern California as well, and have been visiting both knotts and six flags since I was a kid, and honeslty I like six flags way more, just due to the fact that they have a lot more better rides in my opinion
doesn't deserve to be on their either, maybe 10 years ago but all the new additions/replacements are so sub-par and everything else is just more harry potter pandering. no creativity at all anymore. least for orlando the Velicocaster will be an improvement, now if only they could actually get a really good new dark ride (not jimmy fallon, jason bourne, fast and furious, list goes on).
@@oneandonlysound3453 They have some amazing darkrides as it is lol. And the transformers ride which is basically just screens blew me away. I don't think they're terrible additions at all. I have not ridden the fast and furious or the Jimmy fallon ride though.
@@oneandonlysound3453 a new amity island with a brand new jaws or make a new deal with warner brothers and make that dc land they wanted to make before they went with marvel and also give us that insane popeye diner show that had this insane theming idk but yeah they seem to remove every og ride and replace it with or a subpar new ride or a big screen that still doesnt come close to the og spiderman ride ;p
Great List. But I didn't think you would have included Europa Park. It was a nice surprise to see it at the end. I would have put BGT in the mix. I love that park a lot.
Soooooo happy to see Alton Towers in here, my favourite place in the world! If you google a place called Torquay in Devon, England, that is where I am from. It takes us anywhere from 3.5-5 hours to drive between us and Towers, yet we do it probably 6 times a year, simply because we love it! One of the only things about England that I’m actually proud of 😂😂
DisneySea is on another level. When I visited Disneyland in Tokyo I was kind of disappointed because it was almost a clone of Disneyland, which mind you it's still an awesome park, just disappointed because I felt like I've been there before. But man DisneySea redeemed all of it, it's an absolutely amazing park. Really did feel like they had an unlimited amount of budget.
It's sad because tbh, MIA really isn't a bad park. I enjoyed my visit there, even though that's blasphemy to say in the community. Shivering Timbers is also one of my personal favorite wooden coasters. You won't need more than a couple of hours there and I'm not *dying* to go back or anything, but I think it gets a lot of needless hate.
@@cyrbuzz6615 Cedar Fair does love Michigans Adventure they probably added the most out of any Cedar Fair park, they added hundreds of trees, plants, and flowers
Not sure if you’ve been here or not but energylandia in Poland has got to be my favourite theme park ever, when I went there and rode zadra and everything else, I was amazed it isn’t on my list for the theming even though it has good theming, but the rides, the atmosphere, everything in it is amazing, I really recommend it for anyone.
Alton Towers is my favourite park, I go as often as I can to the point I know the entire way around without a map. I think it's so special because of it's unique setting and because a lot of the rides are worlds firsts!
The elephant in the room is cedar point. Been there 3 times and I think when u drive on the causeway has the best skyline of any amusement Park in the world! Anybody I know who’s been there gets chills seeing all of the coasters sooo far off in the distance. Love cedar point!
Knotts is a home park to me and though I’m kinda tired of it after owning a pass for so long, scary farm is great. The only other park I have been to on this list is glenwood and I loved it. I went unexpectedly on vacation
I guessed 10/15. My Top 10 Parks that I have been to thus far are: Cedar Point, Silver Dollar City, Dollywood, Carowinds, Holiday World, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Island, and Six Flags Great America. Lagoon just missed. My US Bucket List: Hershey Park, Busch Gardens Tampa, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Knoebels, SF Great Adventure, and Kennywood My Global Bucket List: Fuji Q, Nagashina SpaLand, Disney Sea, Phantasialand, Europa Park, Port Aventura, Liseberg, Walibi Holland, and Energylandia.
For all the coaster enthusiasts who’s home park is Kings Island We had to wait 8 minutes for Taylor to talk about KI Most stressful eight minutes of my life
I’m okay with my home parks not making the list. I respect this list. Thank you Taylor for not taking this seriously Enjoy your ride, Sara Pardy (The Coaster Scorpion)
Among coaster enthusiasts all over the world Phantasialand is often considered one of the very best parks in the world. In other words, Taylor’s view here is typical.
my list would be something like this : Parc astérix cedar point europapark disneyland paris nigloland note that i rated based on my opinion, and parc astérix is my home park and definitely my favourite park in terms of atmosphere and theming, i just love sticking around and walking around.
i loved this video up until the point where you talked about Knotts. Six Flags Magic Mountain is for sure better then Knotts, i respect your opinion but i believe that you should re consider your favorite California roller coaster. Six Flags Magic Mountain has a very large coaster collection, the largest out of the six flags’s. Not only that but they have so many top tier roller coasters including x2, tatsu, full throttle, superman, and just so many more.
that place is literally "tampa in a nutshell" and there's nothing good about that. It's about one hundred billion times worse than when too many new york city people arrive at six flags great adventure. and both parks are failures at proper upkeep and replace poorly maintained stuff with sub-par "new stuff" too.
Kings Island is my favorite. It was my first park and my home park. No matter where I go, I never have as much fun as I do at Kings Island. Being 46, they still have enough rides left from when I was a kid. The Racer, The Beast. RIP Vortex. But they have a lot of new stuff too. We go every other weekend when they are open. Sometimes I don't even ride a coaster, one time I got the fast land and rode Mystic Timber 27 times in a row.
My last job actually built the steel structure for volcano bay (along with the millennium falcon at Disney and also the avatar mountain). Unfortunately it was before I started working there so I wasn’t involved haha.
I mean I kind of agree. By itself, Glenwood Caverns isn't the best park, it's just the location of it really does carry it and the fact it has 2 cave tours included. Also the underground drop tower is actually terrifying lol
@@Benny-hd7tz I live in CO too and yea, the parks here are horrible, Elitch Gardens and Lakeside are not even average, just mediocre at best. The parks here suck lol. I was pleasantly surprised to see Glenwood Caverns on here. It's just unique, the setting really makes the park. Because of the location, even the swinging chairs, usually a tame ride, are terrifying in Glenwood because it hangs you over the cliff lol
Coaster Studios yes one hundred percent I hate great adventure and was seriously debating weather or not to get a season pass but they r getting JD and the other park I’m close to is American Dream and their tickets r so over priced
I have extreme coasterphobia so even watching this gave me chills!!! I’ve only gone on 2 or 3 rides in my life and 2 were absolutely terrifying like the Jurassic Park ride in Universal and California Screaming was scary for me too. I wouldn’t survive these rides!
I was following along like, "Yep, yep, YEP, yep," and not only until you mentioned it at the very end did I realise no Six Flags park had made this list. That's wild.
When I go to a Amusement/Theme park with mom we usually go to King's Island. I love their big foutain thingy that's right close to the entrince of the park and when it's night and that thing lights up it looks so pretty!
Can we just appreciate how Taylor the video with cinematic shots which he takes himself rather than generic on-ride pov's like most theme park creators?
Thank you, I much prefer to shoot my own footage whenever possible, and I am glad you enjoy them!
@@CoasterStudios Yes very much so, how's things going with you and Sarah btw? 😉 Haha I'm just taking the mick.

Cedar Point, Dollywood, Hersheypark, & Kings Island... You hit em all!
Yep
To bad that Hershey has become so over priced in recent years
Yes, I have been to all of those except Dollyworld (which I would like to visit) and they did not disappoint
Ehhh I’d rather go to Islands of Adventure Universal Studios, Busch Gardens, and Animal Kingdom.
don't forget Universal Studios orlando + islands of adventure!!!

You should make a video where you list every amusement park that should be on people's bucket list. That way, you're not having to narrow it down to a number of favorites, but instead telling us about every park we should visit in our lifetime.
Nothing but straight facts.
I absolutely love Hersheypark and SFGadv, but my favorite park has to be Knoebels. The ride collection, while not quite the level of Cedar Point of Great Adventure, is awesome with the ridiculous standing air of Phoenix, the bezerk flyers, the stupidly strong bumper cars, as well as a plethora of solid flats, coasters, and awesome old school haunted house, and so much more. They also have awesome food, super reasonable prices, lots of cheap old school theme park games, free museums, and so, so much charm. Operations are great, and they always seem to do everything right. Their maintenance team works overdrive to keep everything in perfect shape even when it's not needed. In just about every aspect of running the park (except maybe the bathrooms) it always feels like Knoebels just goes the extra step even though they'd be just fine without it. I highly recommend anyone in the area please spend at least a full day here, it's truly a special place.
Phantasialand is my home park and my favourite park.
Dare I say that’s gotta be one of the best Coaster Studios thumbnails?
I spent like an hour on it haha so thank you, I am glad you like it!
It’s clickbait, great adventure wasn’t here lmao
I really hope to make it to the parks in Germany and Japan's DisneySea someday. I love a park with great theming. It takes you out of your everyday life and immerses you in a different world for awhile.
Bush Gardens Williamsburg and Tivoli in Copenhagen Denmark are my all time favourites! The theming at Tivoli is incredible and my go-to park since I was five. I live in the south of Sweden, so it is close by. Bush Gardens is beautiful with all its floral glory and amazing roller coasters. Apollo’s Cheriot is a dream! Cedar Point was a fantastic experience also, and a part of me was left behind in Phantasialand. I wish I could travel all over the world and visit parks like you do! I am so greatful for your videos! / Linda from Sweden
Oh yeah Ohio Parks‼️ represent represent! I love KI and I love CP! Kings Island is my home park and favorite park! Also my dark horse park is Kentucky Kingdom! I love that place too
When Taylor said Cedar Point was hard to get too I was like lol I live in Youngstown right now😂
Kentucky kingdom has some of the best ejector airtime in the world. It has top tier rides but I’d say it’s a B tier park for me from my experience there. I loved my time but the clientele at Kentucky ruined it a little for me no one wore masks while I was there in August
Yessss when he said KI, I was like “finally!!” I’m biased because it’s my home park, but I love it so much. Can’t wait for the next coaster that replaces vortex
@@carsonmarsteller8622 lol youre mad that not everyone was a sheep wearing muzzles?
Hello! I’m going to Kings Island for the first time and I’m wondering if you have any tips for me?
I’ve only been to four parks: Cedar Point, King’s Island, Hersheypark and Kennywood. But I do plan on visiting more in the near future! 😊
For only four parks you hit some solid ones
@@aaronrumph3291 The closest parks to me are Cedar Point and Kennywood, both two hours away. If it wasn’t for the virus, I would’ve been to Six Flags Discovery Kingdom and CA’s Great America as well. Perhaps next year 🙂
@@BNSFWeatherGirl912 You should go with SFMM and Knotts if you want to do a Cali Trip. DK really only has Joker and Medusa you will also be close to Universal Hollywood
@@aaronrumph3291 One of these days I will visit all of those parks. My bf is from Cali so I’ll be making a lot of Cali trips lol
@@BNSFWeatherGirl912 Ahh if that's the case then hit DK it does have its charm if you can hit it during a time when the animals are more active and off course Disneyland the second best disney park outside of DisneySea
Lucky to have Europapark as my home park 🥰
Man you and the other roller coaster enthusiasts that I watch you guys are making me want to travel around the world just to try all these rides and check out all these parks keep up the great work and thank you for making this video
This is the best youtube video I've watched in quite some time! Really made me excited to live and travel. You better BELIEVE I subscribed!!
my quick number 3 of my close by parks
my 3 is toverland: nice themed with a handfull of rides and enough space to expand, who knows what they buildt
my 2 is Phantasia: last year ive returned there after more than a decade (cause its a expensive entry for my family) and i just love it there, there newest place rookburgh is filed with my favorite theme steampunk
my number 1 is the efteling, like europa park (wich ive never been to) is top notch theming with the best darkrides, the most fanciest dive coaster Baron 1898, infamous fairytaleforest and a one of a kind flying dutchman
I’d love to go to Europa and Phatasialand! They are definitely bucket list. Currently standing, Efteling is my absolute favorite.
Imo Efteling needs like 2 more coasters. And then it would be perfect.
Port Aventura World is my favourite theme park but I haven't travelled outside Europe yet!
Alton Towers is my home park so I'm really proud that it made your top 15, and I totally agree that it's the only UK park worthy of this list!
Next year I'm looking to get to Phantasialand and Europa Park... Finally!
My home park is Six Flags Great America and it is also a really good family park I have been so much I have memorized the whole layout of the park.
Next time go blindfolded then?
Tokyo Disney Sea. Hands down #1. I live in Texas, but now consider TDS as my home park. Been there 4 times so far , and look forward to many , many more visits.
Can’t agree anymore 👍
I also prefer Universal over Disney. Mainly due to preferred IPs, attractions, and it's honestly less stressful. When i went to Disney in 2013, the concern was trying to experience everything each park had to offer. Universal with two parks is a little more leisurely.
Disneyland California will always be my favourite the nostalgia is just 0 to none. I love Knottsberry farm, universal studios, Thorpe park (in the uk), Alton Towers as well.
I know you are not very fond of Efteling, because they do not have a very good collection of coasters, but as a themepark it's up there with Phantasialand and Europapark!! Efteling themes everything and for families it's a great immersive park... From your top 15, I've been to Phantasialand since 1986 every 3 to 4 years and I want (and going) to try and visit Port Aventura, Europapark, Cedar Point, Kings Island, Disney Sea, Knott's Berry Farm, Silver Dollar City, Dollywood and Universal Resort Orlando!
Me in Australia where cedar point nearly has more coasters then the whole country
Cries
Glenwood adventure park will be the Dollywood of the Rockies. Imagine an rmc snaking down the mountain
IKR!?!?!!?!?!?!?!??
Lagoon is 10000% my go to park. I love going there every weekend from the spring to late Fall. Always a joy
So happy Knott's is getting the love it deserves here, I feel like a lot of coaster channels underrate it. I'm a California native whose been to all the major parks here but haven't really explored elsewhere yet, and Knott's is my favorite park in the state too. Great coasters, great atmosphere, good food, and even on a crowded day it's far less busy than Disneyland on their average day.
Lol. I have to laugh when you say Knott’s isn’t crowded because you’re comparing it to Disneyland. When you go to other parks around the country, you’re going to be shocked.
It’s coaster lineup is mediocre
buldasur 2 GhostRider is not mediocre, and neither is Xcelerator’s launch if you like launches. And Knott’s has a lot of charm.
I live in Southern California as well, and have been visiting both knotts and six flags since I was a kid, and honeslty I like six flags way more, just due to the fact that they have a lot more better rides in my opinion
Disneyworld not making the list...
Universal: A victory well earned
doesn't deserve to be on their either, maybe 10 years ago but all the new additions/replacements are so sub-par and everything else is just more harry potter pandering. no creativity at all anymore. least for orlando the Velicocaster will be an improvement, now if only they could actually get a really good new dark ride (not jimmy fallon, jason bourne, fast and furious, list goes on).
@@oneandonlysound3453 They have some amazing darkrides as it is lol. And the transformers ride which is basically just screens blew me away. I don't think they're terrible additions at all. I have not ridden the fast and furious or the Jimmy fallon ride though.
@@oneandonlysound3453 a new amity island with a brand new jaws or make a new deal with warner brothers and make that dc land they wanted to make before they went with marvel and also give us that insane popeye diner show that had this insane theming idk but yeah they seem to remove every og ride and replace it with or a subpar new ride or a big screen that still doesnt come close to the og spiderman ride ;p
Most of Disney Worlds rides are clones
@@jhumuscotland5231 not really...
Great List. But I didn't think you would have included Europa Park. It was a nice surprise to see it at the end. I would have put BGT in the mix. I love that park a lot.
Nœrdy Thugg most folks who’ve been to Europa consider it their favorite park, I think it looks like one of the best on earth easily
Soooooo happy to see Alton Towers in here, my favourite place in the world! If you google a place called Torquay in Devon, England, that is where I am from. It takes us anywhere from 3.5-5 hours to drive between us and Towers, yet we do it probably 6 times a year, simply because we love it! One of the only things about England that I’m actually proud of 😂😂
I never knew tokyo disneysea was so beautiful, that's for sure on my bucketlist now!
DisneySea is on another level. When I visited Disneyland in Tokyo I was kind of disappointed because it was almost a clone of Disneyland, which mind you it's still an awesome park, just disappointed because I felt like I've been there before.
But man DisneySea redeemed all of it, it's an absolutely amazing park. Really did feel like they had an unlimited amount of budget.
We all know you are secretly in love with Michigan-Adventure
😆At least somebody is, Cedar Fair sure isn’t. This park has soo much space and potential but they shove it aside like a red headed step child.
It's sad because tbh, MIA really isn't a bad park. I enjoyed my visit there, even though that's blasphemy to say in the community. Shivering Timbers is also one of my personal favorite wooden coasters. You won't need more than a couple of hours there and I'm not *dying* to go back or anything, but I think it gets a lot of needless hate.
@@cyrbuzz6615 Cedar Fair does love Michigans Adventure they probably added the most out of any Cedar Fair park, they added hundreds of trees, plants, and flowers
I'm pretty sure Taylor hasn't even been to MIA lol
As an English guy, I’m glad that Alton towers was on here
If you're into Phantasialand, you've gotta love De Efteling in the Netherlands too.
DollyWood,Alton Towers,CaroWinds,Portaventura World,Hershey Park,Kings Island,Europa Park
I am missing The Efteling on this list, did you visit? Because if you want theming and immersion this is where you need to go! It’s my home park btw😜
Universal over Disney all day! But Disney’s rides are getting better
Not sure if you’ve been here or not but energylandia in Poland has got to be my favourite theme park ever, when I went there and rode zadra and everything else, I was amazed it isn’t on my list for the theming even though it has good theming, but the rides, the atmosphere, everything in it is amazing, I really recommend it for anyone.
We have been, but we didn’t go until after this video was made. Definitely need to do an updated vid!
Alton Towers is my favourite park, I go as often as I can to the point I know the entire way around without a map. I think it's so special because of it's unique setting and because a lot of the rides are worlds firsts!
Never bin to efteling? , that would fit perfectly on the top of youre list
He actually didn’t like Efteling
@@19kilo241 Why not?
for me it’d be Alton Towers, I’ve only been to parks in the UK though
I'd have to agree with that,I mean Portaventura is good but gets boring after the first couple visits
@@rideexpedition what
I've only been to one park outside of the UK during my time as an enthusiast (Disneyland) and i much prefer alton towers to it
Yes. Same
The elephant in the room is cedar point. Been there 3 times and I think when u drive on the causeway has the best skyline of any amusement Park in the world! Anybody I know who’s been there gets chills seeing all of the coasters sooo far off in the distance. Love cedar point!
Busch Gardens Tampa is honestly so phenomenal, definitely deserves a shoutout
Knotts is a home park to me and though I’m kinda tired of it after owning a pass for so long, scary farm is great. The only other park I have been to on this list is glenwood and I loved it. I went unexpectedly on vacation
The best park is Action Park, obviously
Europa park*
I guessed 10/15.
My Top 10 Parks that I have been to thus far are: Cedar Point, Silver Dollar City, Dollywood, Carowinds, Holiday World, Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Six Flags Magic Mountain, Knott's Berry Farm, Kings Island, and Six Flags Great America. Lagoon just missed.
My US Bucket List: Hershey Park, Busch Gardens Tampa, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Knoebels, SF Great Adventure, and Kennywood
My Global Bucket List: Fuji Q, Nagashina SpaLand, Disney Sea, Phantasialand, Europa Park, Port Aventura, Liseberg, Walibi Holland, and Energylandia.
Video was 👌amazing and omg I can’t believe knotts made this list it’s my home park and I love it so much so I was happy when you put it on there
For all the coaster enthusiasts who’s home park is Kings Island
We had to wait 8 minutes for Taylor to talk about KI
Most stressful eight minutes of my life
8:10 "like they had absolutely no budget for this park" lmao
:)
I’m okay with my home parks not making the list. I respect this list. Thank you Taylor for not taking this seriously
Enjoy your ride,
Sara Pardy (The Coaster Scorpion)
Phantasialand is my homepark and of coure my favourite one. Its amazing to hear that Phantasialand gets worldwide appreciation!
Among coaster enthusiasts all over the world Phantasialand is often considered one of the very best parks in the world. In other words, Taylor’s view here is typical.
“This is also probably the one that the least people watching have been to.
Yeah I’ve gone to glenwood caverns 😂
You like knotts more than six flags magic mountain, great America, Disneyland, and California adventure? That’s really crazy!
I think the more I hear about SDC, the higher it moves up on my bucket list. it seems like such an amazing park!
It is spectacularly beautiful after sunset, after spending a day there - the whole place is rigged up with Christmas lights.
my list would be something like this :
Parc astérix
cedar point
europapark
disneyland paris
nigloland
note that i rated based on my opinion, and parc astérix is my home park and definitely my favourite park in terms of atmosphere and theming, i just love sticking around and walking around.
Sfmm: “Am I a joke to you?”
i loved this video up until the point where you talked about Knotts. Six Flags Magic Mountain is for sure better then Knotts, i respect your opinion but i believe that you should re consider your favorite California roller coaster. Six Flags Magic Mountain has a very large coaster collection, the largest out of the six flags’s. Not only that but they have so many top tier roller coasters including x2, tatsu, full throttle, superman, and just so many more.
I agree even six flags New England is awesome
Glad my park Carowinds gets a shout out!
Kings island is amazing, I love the new ride Orion
I’m excited to watch this!!
Busch Gardens Tampa: *am I a joke to you*
Still a great list tho
that place is literally "tampa in a nutshell" and there's nothing good about that. It's about one hundred billion times worse than when too many new york city people arrive at six flags great adventure. and both parks are failures at proper upkeep and replace poorly maintained stuff with sub-par "new stuff" too.
OneAndOnlySound this is why you only have 40 subscribers lmao
@@alexpierce6407 you have zero 😂
Kings Island is my favorite. It was my first park and my home park. No matter where I go, I never have as much fun as I do at Kings Island. Being 46, they still have enough rides left from when I was a kid. The Racer, The Beast. RIP Vortex. But they have a lot of new stuff too. We go every other weekend when they are open. Sometimes I don't even ride a coaster, one time I got the fast land and rode Mystic Timber 27 times in a row.
If you go back to universal, be sure to check out volcano bay. Even though it’s a water park, it’s incredible.
My last job actually built the steel structure for volcano bay (along with the millennium falcon at Disney and also the avatar mountain). Unfortunately it was before I started working there so I wasn’t involved haha.
Me: Colorado has no good parks
Taylor: "Glenwood Caverns"
Me: :0
I mean I kind of agree. By itself, Glenwood Caverns isn't the best park, it's just the location of it really does carry it and the fact it has 2 cave tours included.
Also the underground drop tower is actually terrifying lol
@@nit0134 idk as someone who lives in CO, I guess I’m used to it
@@Benny-hd7tz I live in CO too and yea, the parks here are horrible, Elitch Gardens and Lakeside are not even average, just mediocre at best. The parks here suck lol. I was pleasantly surprised to see Glenwood Caverns on here.
It's just unique, the setting really makes the park. Because of the location, even the swinging chairs, usually a tame ride, are terrifying in Glenwood because it hangs you over the cliff lol
@@nit0134 same here
*hmmm, not a single six flags park on this list. i wonder why.*
Lol
And yet king da ka is in the thumbnail
Thought the same thing
Six Flags is the worst operator of theme parks in America. Their parks need help.
Coaster Studios yes one hundred percent I hate great adventure and was seriously debating weather or not to get a season pass but they r getting JD and the other park I’m close to is American Dream and their tickets r so over priced
I have extreme coasterphobia so even watching this gave me chills!!! I’ve only gone on 2 or 3 rides in my life and 2 were absolutely terrifying like the Jurassic Park ride in Universal and California Screaming was scary for me too. I wouldn’t survive these rides!
I was following along like, "Yep, yep, YEP, yep," and not only until you mentioned it at the very end did I realise no Six Flags park had made this list. That's wild.
Personally I’d but gardaland on here, I’d personally take it over knotts or towers
Are we gonna talk about how he didn’t put a single 6 flags
Six flags sucks, excluding SFMM, SFGA, and maybe one more
@@roscoe3837 is sfga great adventure or great america?
@@crudkip4326 adventure
i love your footage. it’s so cinematic.
When I go to a Amusement/Theme park with mom we usually go to King's Island. I love their big foutain thingy that's right close to the entrince of the park and when it's night and that thing lights up it looks so pretty!
