I have a sibling who hated roller coasters for YEARS bc my mom took him on dinosaur at legoland Florida at 6 years old thinking it was a “family coaster” like it was labeled. My brother was traumatized and hated them. However, he slowly started riding slightly bigger rides until we went to Busch gardens Tampa and encountered the new at the time Tigris. My brother was fascinated by the ride and decided that he was gonna go on it. And in the end he loved it. This ride was the true spark that resulted in him overcoming his fear and the solidification of his love of roller coasters with Yukon striker back home. So even if the ride isn’t all that good, Tigris is responsible for giving him one of his greatest passions and now he can’t get enough of roller coasters (he literally went on steel vengeance a week ago and adored it) ❤
I may have to try Kumba again because it was the Vomitron 3000 for me back in March. Montu didn't bother me, but Kumba and Scorpion sent me to the bathroom with a close call. That being said, Iron Gwazi, Montu, and Cheetah Hunt were my top picks with Sheikra right behind. We'll see what I think when I go back on Wednesday!
I think phoenix rising for me will be a decent ride if i need a pace breaker from the more intense rides like montu or tigris, but still want to ride something. But if it's still too intense at 40 mph there's always the animal exhibits to check out as well as good food.
I very much agree with your list, here's mine. 1. Iron Gwazi 2. Montu 3. SheiKra 4. Cheetah Hunt 5. Kumba 6. Cobras Curse 7. Phoenix Rising 8. Scorpion 9. Tigris (Horrible and uncomfortable experience) 10. Air Grover
Having gone to cedar point with Valleyfair as my home park, it's too overwhelming with all the coasters. But Valleyfairs coasters range from awesome to just ok, which was PERFECT for me as a tiny tot, but not now. All of these coasters were awesome when I rode them two years ago, and I didn't know it was iron gwazis first year of operation so I was quite lucky
I’ve never been to bgt but I would like to say I could imagine what it’s like by the way you described it. You make such quality videos, and I thoroughly enjoy your content. Would you take this over my home park of kings island? I think it would be cool to see ki vs bgt. Iron gwazi vs mystic Timbers Sheikra vs diamondback Banshee vs montu Backlot stunt vs cheeta hunt I can’t think of any other matchups🤷♂️
I really appreciate your comment. I haven’t done a park battle in a while, but that would be a fun comparison. Overall, I prefer Kings Island but both are fantastic.
Scorpion was insanely painful for some reason when I rode it. I find all forms of wooden coaster roughness to be fine so I'm not sure what was up with scorpion
I disagree with the tigress placement I think it should be just after cobras curse the rest of the spots I agree with love this park been to it many times
I haven’t been on Phoenix Rising yet, but these are my current rankings in the park: 1. Iron Gwazi 2. Kumba 3. Montu 4. Cheetah Hunt 5. SheiKra 6. Tigris 7. Scorpion 8. Cobra’s Curse 9. Air Grover For me, rankings 2-3 and 6-8 are each close together and can alternate depend on the day if one is running better than the other
this is my favorite recurring video you do, Eric! So glad I got to ride Cheetah Chase Aka SandSerpent before it closed last year, it's missed in the ranking! The new pheonix rising coaster seems fun though. I feel like you switched up the ranking, you may have put cheetah hunt ahead of Kumba in prior videos. But this list was great, and I mostly agree with your list (kinda!), here's mine!: 10. Air Grover (never ridden) 9. Scorpion (love this thing) 8. Tigris (I don't mind the harness!) 7. Cobra's Curse (what a fun 1!) 6. Pheonix Rising (haven't ridden, but I'm hoping this ride lands here, we'll see) 5. Sheikra (made the big edit and put it behind Cheetah Hunt! Sue me! :p) 4. Cheetah Hunt (it's definitely a crowd pleaser, the boosts are awesome!!) 3. Montu (giving the nod to Kumba, but it's close) 2. Kumba (it's just such a classic!) 1. Iron Gwazi (it lives up to the hype, I can't wait to ride it again!!) can't wait to go back...but I will, as I need to hit some other awesome parks first, and expand my palette!
My favorite roller coaster there is Iron Gwazi, followed by Cheetah Hunt, Sheikra, Kumba, Montu, Cobra's Curse, Tigris, Sand Serpent (R.I.P.), Scorpion, and Python (R.I.P.). I haven't ridden Phoenix Rising yet, but if I had to guess, I predict it would place between Tigris and Sand Serpent.
Was just here last month and had a great time! Cheetah hunt was closed and Phoenix wasn't open yet, so this is my ranking: 8. Air Grover 7. Sheikra 6. Scorpion 5. Cobra's Curse 4. Tigris 3. Montu 2. Kumba 1. Iron Gwazi
Growing up my favorite was kumba until it started getting too rough due to its aging. Sheikra was always too short for my liking (especially when the longest line was always for sheikra for a while) However over the years, with the help of shiekra losing its hype and having less lines, i’ve enjoyed it more. There was something so comforting about memorizing its layout that made reriding it so fun. It never made it to being my favorite ride even though I did end up enjoying it more than kumba at one point. I used to think cheetah hunt was too mild until one year I went and it was FAR more intense than I remembered. It caught me by such a surprise that Cheetah hunt actually took the top spot for me. However, tomorrow I’m going back to the parks for the first time since 2018 and I KNOW Iron gwazi will be taking that top spot. I wonder if I would rank kumba above sheikra or vise versa. I wonder if I’ll still hold cheetah hunt at such a high standard. And I wonder if Montu will particularly stand out to me this time. I never really thought much of montu. I can’t wait to experience the coasters again and give them my rankings after all these years.
MY top 10 I have rode all 10. Air grover 9. Scorpion 8. Phoenix rising 7. Kumba 6. Tigrus 5. Iron gwazi 4. Cobras curse 3. Montu 2. Sheikra (UNDERATED RODE 5 TIMES IN A DAY ONCE) 1. Cheetah hunt ( ICONIC AND FUN)
1. Iron Gwazi 2. Kumba 3. Montu 4. Cheetah Hunt 5. SheiKra 6. Pheonix Rising 7. Cobra’s Curse 8. Tigris 9. Scorpion 10. Air Grover I’ve never been there, but if I did go there that’s how I’ll think it’ll rank.
I just left this exact ranking! Pheonix Rising's slot being my educated guess for now until I ride it. So cool to see you guessing your own ranking before going, and it matches what I just wrote up! nice!
BGT is also my home park. 1. Iron Gwazi 2. Kumba 2. Montu (I swap back and forth) 4. Sheikra 5. Cheetah Hunt 6. Cobra’s Curse 7. Phoenix Rising 8. Tigris (Comfort Collars SUCK) 9. Scorpion
I don’t agree at all for the first time (I haven’t riding Phoenix Rising or the kiddy coaster) but I agree sooooooooooo much for the second half. FINALLY SOMEONE LIKES MONTU BETTER THAN KUMBA😃😃😃😀😀😄😄😁👍👍👍👍👍👍

Last time I went on Tigris it was super smooth they might have to fix it now -Sunshine
Haven’t been in two years but it was my favorite park I’ve ever been too and Cedar Point is my home park

Would you take this over my home park of kings island? I think it would be cool to see ki vs bgt.
Iron gwazi vs mystic Timbers
Sheikra vs diamondback
Banshee vs montu
Backlot stunt vs cheeta hunt
I can’t think of any other matchups🤷♂️

Scorpion was insanely painful for some reason when I rode it. I find all forms of wooden coaster roughness to be fine so I'm not sure what was up with scorpion
I’m so glad you put cobras curse a little little bit bit high because that’s my favorite roller coaster. I’m scared of them
I disagree with the tigress placement I think it should be just after cobras curse the rest of the spots I agree with love this park been to it many times
Pretty acurate the only switch I would make is between Sheikra and Kumba the rest is on point
Agreed
one time i rode montu the mid course brakes were off and it was absolutlely flying through the 2nd half of the layout it was so intense
I haven’t been on Phoenix Rising yet, but these are my current rankings in the park:

Tigris below scorpion is cray cray
Tigris is way worse. Whats crazy is sheiKra being top 3
@@FloridaThoosieI’d put cheetah hunt over sheikra tbh. Jus more thrills and more of a coaster tbh
I find cobras curse to be a bit rough

This list makes me angry like scorpion over Tigris cheetah at 5 like what😢
He talks nonsense or can't count in order.
RIP Scorpion🥲it was well loved by me and my family for years and also my first roller coaster.
It’s my home park as well and I have the same list except I swapped Tigris and Kumba. As much as I respect it’s intensity, it’s just to rough for me.
It’s my home park too
