    The timing of this video coincided with the reveal of their new coaster very nicely

    I miss Volcano so much, but Twisted Timbers is so damn good!! I could ride that all day. I-305 (I'm sure I've commented on your channel before, but I never know for sure), I am so glad I rode it, but those grey-outs were scary AF. I'll still ride it again, cuz I love my coasters, but I never thought grey-outs were a real thing until it happened. Just re-rode Kingda Ka for the first time since 2014, and can def say that I-305 is way more intense than the tallest coaster in the world.

    I passed out on I305, I was totally out for at least 10 seconds and wasn’t fully conscious until the end of the ride. It’s a shame, because it looks like an awesome ride and I wish I could’ve experienced it.

  • @mitchellries256
    @mitchellries256 3 года назад +3

    After my visits in 2008 and 2013, my favorite ride there is Intimidator 305 followed by Volcano: The Blast Coaster (R.I.P.), Dominator, Flight of Fear, Backlot Stunt Coaster, Grizzly, Racer 75, Apple Zapple, Avalanche, Shockwave (R.I.P.), Anaconda, and Hurler (thank goodness it's now Twisted Timbers).

  • @ItsSiebay
    @ItsSiebay 3 года назад +8

    I constantly find myself between I305 and Timbers, but I give the edge to Timbers for the airtime and reridability.

  • @CoasterJawn
    @CoasterJawn 3 года назад +10

    Great list! I prefer i305 and I think backlot is a little high, but other than that I totally agree!

  • @mikemcmahon7624
    @mikemcmahon7624 3 года назад +2

    Great video as always. My home Cedar Fair park has an elite top two and a really solid supporting lineup. As great as I305 and TT are, I think the depth of the supporting cast is arguably KD’s biggest strength. Anyway, here’s my list.
    1. Intimidator 305
    2. Twisted Timbers
    3. Dominator
    4. Flight of Fear
    5. Grizzly
    6. Racer 75
    7. Backlot Stunt Coaster
    8. Avalanche
    9. Anaconda
    10. Apple Zapple
    11. Woodstock Express
    12. Great Pumpkin (never ridden so it goes here by default)
    13. Tumbili (yes, I already know this will be last, because of my previous experience on free spins)

  • @evan9902
    @evan9902 3 года назад +3

    I got 9/12 credits here bc Avalanche was closed and I didn’t feel like bothering with Woodstock Express and I’m too tall for Great Pumpkin Coaster. Anyways, here’s my ranking of the rest of the coasters.
    9. Anaconda (could’ve been worse, the inversions were fun but the turns give some bad neck banging. If I were to choose for the next coaster to get the axe at this park it would be this one.)
    8. Grizzly (It’s rough but kind of fun)
    7. Apple Zapple (I like the first drop but other than that it’s a typical Wild Mouse)
    6. Backlot Stunt Coaster (Fun but honestly quite janky and the seats aren’t the most comfortable)
    5. Racer 75 (For a classic woodie over 45 years old it’s pretty smooth and it’s fun)
    4. Dominator (I think it’s a really solid ride but I’ve ridden other floorless coasters and it just felt kind of forgettable. Also it doesn’t have a rattle)
    3. Flight of Fear (This thing is really underrated as it’s pretty intense and even though it loses some steam in the middle but it picks back up at the end. Also cool theming)
    2. Twisted Timber’s (The top 2 really are fantastic and the 2nd best one-two punch I’ve ever experienced from an amusement park. The only one I’d say is better is Cedar Point at least from what I’ve experienced. This ride has so much airtime and I disagree, to me this is a back row ride. The 3 camelbacks are stronger in the front but to me everything else is better in the back)
    1. Intimidator 305 (It’s just so intense. It was also my 100th roller coaster. I rode it in the front and I was kind of disappointed but I did ride it earlier in the day. I came back later and rode it in the back. Man that’s the most intense coaster I’ve ever experienced. When I got off I was floored. This is a top 3 coaster for me)

    I have been on twisted timbers AND I LOVED It
    The first time i went is when me my brother his 2 friends and my dad went there
    I saw twisted timbers and I wanted to try it out My brother didn't come with us though nor my dad
    The fact is that twisted timber was my first ever upside down Roller Coaster I've ever been on I was scared to go on it at first but i enjoyed it a lot
    But i think i almost made one of my brothers friends deaf cause i was screaming so loud even my dad and my brother could hear me 😅😅oops
    But I was so happy when you put twisted timbers food a good one
    Fact is:For Avalanche it got re painted got new karts but the still kept the track from Avalanche and re named it Reptilian

    I like Anaconda even more than you do. I get no headbanging by keeping my head forward. Since I'm not as tall as you, I'm fine with Flight of Fear's seats. I am very torn on the top 2. I like both almost equally. Both are in my overall top 10. I am one of those crazy people who marathon i305. I try to get 8-10 rides an hour while I'm over there.
    12. Great Pumpkin Coaster
    11. Woodstock Express
    10. Apple Zapple
    9. Grizzly (was # 3 after my 2018 visit, but it rode painfully rough last month)
    8. Avalanche
    7. Racer 75
    6. Backlot Stunt Coaster
    5. Flight of Fear

    I’d go so far as to place it above Anaconda, Avalanche and Grizzly.
