It's not a TPC video unless it's reuploaded. But seriously, somehow I forgot the stat card for Blue Hawk, so I just added it in. Anyways, stay tuned; my 2020 Coaster Recap will be coming next!
Thank you for giving six flags st louis some representation. Its my home park and no one ever talks about it While I feel silver dollar city is the better park, sfstl will have a soft spot in my heart for many of my first ever rides.
The PlatinumDiva they better keep it. its the last arrow mega looper in existence. And thank god its in six flags. Because it would already be demolished if it existed at a cedarfair park
The only coaster to ever make me leave a park immediately. POS. I'd rather them bring back that green lantern nonsense. Hell, I rode Timber Wolf before the retrack.
The B&M pre drop was used to reduce stress on the chain. They have since reconfigured their chainlift to reduce the stress, therefore eliminating the need for that pre-drop. I don't think we will be seeing those anymore. But a giga with a pre-drop would be awesome.
Growing up with Six Flags St. Louis as my home park, im happy to see the love for the boss! Its still so great even if I was one of the few who miss the 540° helix at the end
My favorite underrated coaster is Rollin' Thunder at The Park at OWA. I'll just come out and say it: I think Zamperla is pretty good at making coasters now.
I rode it in all three rows, and I prefer the middle or back rows. The front row is a lil too whippy IMO. The airtime is insane during that station run.
@@quidproquojoe9046 It's technically actually my home park too. Still pretty small, I feel like it'll get more recognition in a few years when they start putting in more expansions.
AWESOME VIDEOOO!!! I love Viper!! It's the first rollercoaster that I've ridden, everybody say that It's really rough but even It was my first time riding rollercoasters I didn't feel it that way. Everytime that I come to magic it is the first ride that I get on. Viper really made me a thrill seeker! Also Goliath is my second favorite ride at magic mountain.💖💖
Riding a stand up coaster is legit high up on my bucket list. Everyone always trashes on them, but I have never experienced one. I don't expect much of it, but I just wanna get on one. Sadly, there's not a single stand up coaster even remotely close to where I live.
Would be nice if the had some sort of tutorial while in line if there is a trick to it. Went on Mantis in Cedar Point before it was converted. It put such an uncomfortable force on my knees that I missed the ride trying to get comfortable. I swore the style of coaster off.
I'm glad you added the Thunderbolt to this list. I live mile away from Luna Park and I've ridden it probably around 10 times. It is not very rough and give excellent ejector airtime. Also the amount of G-forces you get at the bottom of the drop is amazing. Also unlimited tickets are expensive because they need it to keep the Coney Island Cyclone operational.
Raging Bull is one of my favorite coasters of all time. I absolutely adore the air time and the smooth feeling of the first drop. The back is definitely where you want to be, because it feels as if you're flying!!!
Those are some great underrated coasters! In my opinion, some rides that exceded my expectation included Cornball Express, Thunder Run, American Eagle, and T3
Almost every single Arrow Looper is underrated in my opinion. If you're tall enough to clear the over the shoulder restraints, then you will not get any head banging. The roughness has a unique charm in my opinion. Also great video Peter! Keep up good work 👍
I agree ....except for KD's Anaconda which has a rather painful ('butterfly'?) section after the mid brake run. Otherwise, I still love classic Arrow Loopers like the legendary Loch Ness Monster, the Tennessee Tornado and (sad to hear it's being removed) Vortex at KI.
Ive ridden nearly all the B&M hypers and Raging Bulls drop is the best IMO. The back row is insane. When you feel the speed off the pre drop and watch the front of the train dissappear in front of you, you know you're going to get launched
Thanks for giving credit to stand up coasters! There was a day at King's Island where the lines were so short the operators let me ride the King Cobra several times in a row before having to go through the empty queue again. (Trains were never more than half full, park was just deserted that day.) It was never boring and I think I got in about 30 rides before heading off to meet my mother. It is a shame we lost that one!
Mannnnnnnnnn I was so happy to see Viper make this list that’s one of my most favorite rides at Magic Mountain sure I get beat up but I just love the feel of it I love the rush and that loop in the air is just amazing I love this whole ride and never get tired of it and I’ve been riding it for years 💜
The little drop before the main drop on Raging Bull is an old B&M standard. It is on a lot of their old crop. It is done to relieve stress on the lift hill chain and actually reduces the overall G on the drop.
Yes! Thank you Theme Park Crazy for pointing out that viper really isn’t a horrible ride people make it out to be. Magic mountain is my home park and viper isn’t the most memorable ride but it wasn’t bad at all!
Timberwolf is amazing. When this was my home park, I marathoned it when my family was in Planet Snoopy and I could ride it all day and the Boss is the same
I'd give American Eagle an underrated ribbon. When it races, it's incredibly fun and all it needs is some love to become one of the best rides in the park. Even if it does get the RMC treatment, I think it should still capture the moments that made the original so beautiful.
Two of my favorite underrated coasters are Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America and the now defunct Drachen Fire formerly of BGW. I love Raging Bull, it is my favorite B&M Hyper. It's ashame that it gets bashed so much for not having a ton of airtime, but what airtime it does have is amazing. I have also ridden Apollo's Chariot at BGW and Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure and prefer Raging Bull. Drachen Fire was my favorite coaster at BGW at the time. I road it before the corkscrew was removed in between the brake run and the cutback element, which was the only part of the ride that I would hit my head but it wasn't bad enough to keep me from riding 5 or 6 times in one day.
I liked Drachen Fire too. I don't remember it being jerky and rode it multiple times each visit. Not every rollercoaster is going to be as smooth as a B&M hyper. Sometimes, people complain too much. I miss it. ....I'm looking forward to Pantheon in 2020. I'm crossing my fingers that it will be a great one.
I live in Delaware and I have family in Jersey. I have been to playland and have stood directly in front of galeforce, even riding the small coaster around it. But my family thought it was too expensive and I’ve never ridden it. Thanks for the info and now I can know how it feels from someone with experience
Most underrated to me are Wild Thing at Valleyfair, Gatekeeper at Cedar Point, Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, the Flight of Fear models, and Thunder Dolphin at Tokyo Dome City.
I am happy you put in some good words for Goliath, Riddler's Revenge, and Viper. Viper in particular always gets unfairly hated on despite being and awesome ride, and Riddler's Revenge gets overlooked cause it's a stand up coaster. Edit: Honestly Riddler's Revenge is one of my personal favorite coasters.
Bruh, I’ve ridden GaleForce. I live in NJ and I live close enough to Castaway Cove to drive there, and lemme tell you, it’s nothing like any roller coaster I’ve ridden before. It literally launches you forward, AND THEN rolls you backwards, and the rest is up to your imagination.
An underrated coaster in my book is Rattenmuhle at Familypark in Austria,it’s just a hell load of fun and good theming,it’s by far the best Gerstlauer Bobsled I have ridden
It was nice meeting you at Coaster Con last year and both being able to attend the ACE Coaster Landmark ceremony at Montezooma's Revenge. Highly agree with the rides you mentioned at Six Flags Magic Mountain. In fact, I rode Viper more than any other coaster at the park during the convention.
The Boss has gotten better since it got reprofiled. On one hand I miss the helix at the end, but on the other hand I don't miss the ride feeling like a car crash.
The problem is they have to bring you to a full stop on the mid coarse. Hell, they slow you so much the first car hangs over the drop. Really kills the second half other that the final turnaround imo
Did you ride the boss before or after they took out the final helix? That helix was the best part of the ride and the boss is just not the same without it
Raging Bull is one of my most favorite roller coasters of all time. In fact it was the very first roller coaster that I rode and I loved how smooth this roller coaster is.
If you liked Goliath than you'll really like Titan. It is actually notably better because it slows down less on the lift, has an extra Helix which is extremely intense, and some say the downward Helix later on is more intense.
I've been on almost all of these this year, and I agree with most. A few of the rides were too rough for me to enjoy personally, but they have great potential if you can live with it. Riddler's Revenge was running amazing. Probably my #3 coaster in the park(x2, twisted colossus). Haven't been on green lantern, but I got on it as chang and found that great too. I was also a fan of mantis. With the exception of iron wolf, I've enjoyed stand ups.
Viper was one of my 2 favorite coasters (the other being Space Mountain). I remember one day years ago deciding to ride both Viper and Space Mountain on the same day. Good times!
As someone who rides Viper every single day for work purposes... it's really painful. Pretty cool that it's one of the last of a dead/dying breed of coasters, but if it wasn't for the fact that it's one of the most reliable coasters in the park, I think it would be next on the chopping block at Magic Mountain.
Speaking as a Missourian: * You're the first Timberwolf stan I've seen in my entire life. I enjoy the ride well enough, and I guess familiarity breeds some degree of contempt, because I kind of want it Old Yellered at this point. It's lived an extremely good life, but WOF is in dire need of new fun coasters; we've been waiting since like '09 for it. * The Boss, during my trip, had like zero line. It was rad to ride it a few times in a row.
Viper is still a real popular ride considering it turned 30 this year. It would only be seen as unpopular (and thus underrated in your book) by any stretch because of its age and the fact that that ride is from another era within Magic Mountain. When I was growing up that ride was the most talked about thing when people brought up the park.
love your vids theme park crazy I am a proud subscriber 👍 I do feel like viper is a great underated coaster it is actually in my top 5 coasters at six flags magic mountain 😱
so happy to see the boss on here. ive lived in stl my whole life and didn’t ride it until 2 years ago due to the horror stories i had heard about it. now it’s one of my favorites
This is sooooooooo accurate!!! My brother and I actually rode Galeforce within a month of its original opening and we loved it! It’s his favorite coaster and he has like 150 credits lol
Here's what I think of these coasters: 10) I have a love/hate relationship with Viper. Somedays it runs VERY aggressive, while some days it's not as rough. However, I have a soft spot for this coaster, and ride it every time I go to Magic Mountain ( which is my home park). 9) Agree with you when it comes to riding them a "special way". If done right, these coasters can be really fun. GL also has a really solid layout. 8) Haven't ridden 7) Haven't ridden 6) Completely, 100% agree. I LOVE Goliath, one of my top 10 hypers. It may not be an airtime machine like B&M hypers, but it has a solid, smooth layout, with a terrific view of Magic Mountain from above. Ride it at night especially. 5) Haven't ridden. 4) Haven't ridden. . 3) Raging Bull seems to get the same flack Goliath does. Maybe I'm just an older enthusiasts ( having been an enthusiasts for over 20 years), but I remember back when RB and Goliath were among the top coasters in the country. I kinda wish there were more hyper-twister layouts. They're a lot of fun. 2) Personally, Riddler is in my top 5 for SFMM. I think it has one of B&M's best layouts, very reminiscent of Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa. 1) Boss is the star attraction at SFSTL. A jacked up version of The Beast I like to think.
Was at world's of fun this past summer for the first time since the early 90s when timber wolf opened. Loved the ride. Wish I could have ridden it's original layout, but the new banked turn finale was fun too.
Trick with Viper is if you sit in the front, keep your head forward. If you sit in the back keep your head back. The new train they recently got does help a good amount.
my roommate got a concussion from riding green lantern back in 2016. i was riding beside her and didn’t have any issues, but i guess the head banging can be a mixed bag.
I’m enjoying the fact you included so far 2 from my home park or should I say hometown park since I’m in Vegas now. I’ll admit I felt head banging on Viper but still my favorite at Magic Mountain.
You should ride "The Afterburn" at Carowinds. It's an amazing coaster. Gives u the illusion of flying due to the fact it was originally designed and named after the movie Top Gun.

Great!
LOL
Theme Park Crazy do you mean your top 25 coasters 2020 edition?
Theme Park Crazy I agree about the B&M standup thing It’s all in how you adjust the seat height use harness to help adjust
Thank you for giving six flags st louis some representation. Its my home park and no one ever talks about it
While I feel silver dollar city is the better park, sfstl will have a soft spot in my heart for many of my first ever rides.
“ Even if you can’t stand these types of coasters”
I see what you did there
BlueSerpent GameZ it’s just like Iron Wolf’s Fright Fest gravestone: Couldn’t stand it.
@@DoswarePictures iconic drum thingy plays*
Also "train of thought"
Chloe Johnson ok that was solid
ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA
it’s not a TPC vid if
-there isn’t a food comparison
-he doesn’t talk about a ride being underrated
-it’s a reuploaded video
100th liker
And the classic, “ you can never go wrong with a B&M hyper”
Thanks for not hating on Viper it was my second rollercoaster ride-- I hope they keep it too 😊😊😊
The PlatinumDiva they better keep it. its the last arrow mega looper in existence. And thank god its in six flags. Because it would already be demolished if it existed at a cedarfair park
Clutch Master, the good thing is, that arrows don’t require much Maintenece, with a few exceptions
Viper is such a headbanger. I haven't ridden it since like 2007 because it's just too painful for me to enjoy.
The only coaster to ever make me leave a park immediately. POS. I'd rather them bring back that green lantern nonsense. Hell, I rode Timber Wolf before the retrack.
I like that you can see Viper in movies like Encino Man, and they even call it "Viper".
The word underrated is overrated
*perfect logic*
I'd say more overused than overrated
Explains a lot
@Ken Norcott it still explains a lot.
Ken Norcott ohhhhh, sorry 😐
@Ken Norcott yep
The B&M pre drop was used to reduce stress on the chain. They have since reconfigured their chainlift to reduce the stress, therefore eliminating the need for that pre-drop. I don't think we will be seeing those anymore. But a giga with a pre-drop would be awesome.
It wasnt stress, it was just a way for the catch dog on the bottom of the track to disengage with the chain. Nothing to do with the stress.
It would be hard to appreciate it in the back row, which is where you have to sit for airtime
12:01
TPC: The airtime is absolutely brilliant sending you up and out of your seat more times than you can count
RCDB: Hold my beer
11:49 - That’s me cheering on the left! The Boss is amazing! 😂
Phantom Coasters niiiiice😂
NinjaPotato JB lol
Phantom Coasters lol that’s also me next to u
Seriously? XD
Kenya Gabrielle yes
Really appreciate your love for Raging Bull. It’s still one of my Favorites. Much love
"Even if you can't STAND this kind" 🤣
I love your puns.
Lovefromwcu1 WaS tHaT a JoJo ReFrEnCe?
Lovefromwcu1 imagine using a laughing emoji but you didnt laugh, you only noticed it
"Like the first time I ate sushi" love how you managed to squeeze a food reference in there right before the end of the video, haha
Growing up with Six Flags St. Louis as my home park, im happy to see the love for the boss! Its still so great even if I was one of the few who miss the 540° helix at the end
Thanks for loving on Timber Wolf! I have been enjoying this bad boy since it opened in 1989 and you waited over an hour to get on. So many memories!
So happy to see Timber Wolf on this list! I've always liked it, and it's even better now with the re-track, though I do somewhat miss the helix.
Back row Raging Bull drop is incredible
I dislike that coaster maybe I went on a bad day tho
My favorite underrated coaster is Rollin' Thunder at The Park at OWA. I'll just come out and say it: I think Zamperla is pretty good at making coasters now.
I rode it in all three rows, and I prefer the middle or back rows. The front row is a lil too whippy IMO. The airtime is insane during that station run.

@@quidproquojoe9046 It's technically actually my home park too. Still pretty small, I feel like it'll get more recognition in a few years when they start putting in more expansions.
I think Disney is underrated by most coaster enthusiasts. They have some really good roller coasters but a lot of people don't even mention them.
BlueTunnel 2 cant wait for tron!
@@blondy2061h yeah im hyped
VIPER IS ONE OF MINE TOO!! I swear I'm the only one who ever likes it when people talk about it ; ;
AWESOME VIDEOOO!!!
I love Viper!! It's the first rollercoaster that I've ridden, everybody say that It's really rough but even It was my first time riding rollercoasters I didn't feel it that way. Everytime that I come to magic it is the first ride that I get on. Viper really made me a thrill seeker! Also Goliath is my second favorite ride at magic mountain.💖💖
So many people used to assume Viper was a bad ride, I’m so glad the community came through for that coaster!
Riding a stand up coaster is legit high up on my bucket list. Everyone always trashes on them, but I have never experienced one. I don't expect much of it, but I just wanna get on one. Sadly, there's not a single stand up coaster even remotely close to where I live.
i swear Gale Force's update was one of the best coaster glow ups ive ever seen. so much smoother and now twice as long
standups are severely underrated, since nobody knows how to use the restraints
Would be nice if the had some sort of tutorial while in line if there is a trick to it. Went on Mantis in Cedar Point before it was converted. It put such an uncomfortable force on my knees that I missed the ride trying to get comfortable. I swore the style of coaster off.
never been on a standup coaster but the crotch rock is probably pretty hard to work with
@@blitzn00dle50 if you can get the restraints right you shouldn't have to come in contact with the crotch rock
Yay! Worlds of fun is my home park. I now live in Florida and work for both Disney and universal but I still love and appreciate worlds of fun.
I'm glad you added the Thunderbolt to this list. I live mile away from Luna Park and I've ridden it probably around 10 times. It is not very rough and give excellent ejector airtime. Also the amount of G-forces you get at the bottom of the drop is amazing. Also unlimited tickets are expensive because they need it to keep the Coney Island Cyclone operational.
The boss totally deserves the top spot on this list.
Your top 3 of Raging Bull, Riddler, and The B0SS are spot on!
Couldn’t agree more!
Timber wolf is one of my favorites too and it's totally underrated to be sure
it was my second coaster with the prowler at worlds of fun being first, and having rode all the worlds of fun coasters i think the prowler is the best
Raging Bull is one of my favorite coasters of all time. I absolutely adore the air time and the smooth feeling of the first drop. The back is definitely where you want to be, because it feels as if you're flying!!!
Those are some great underrated coasters! In my opinion, some rides that exceded my expectation included Cornball Express, Thunder Run, American Eagle, and T3
American Eagle! She's an old crusty gem!
It's been years since I've been to Indiana Beach but I loved Cornball Express too!
Almost every single Arrow Looper is underrated in my opinion. If you're tall enough to clear the over the shoulder restraints, then you will not get any head banging. The roughness has a unique charm in my opinion.
Also great video Peter! Keep up good work 👍
I agree ....except for KD's Anaconda which has a rather painful ('butterfly'?) section after the mid brake run. Otherwise, I still love classic Arrow Loopers like the legendary Loch Ness Monster, the Tennessee Tornado and (sad to hear it's being removed) Vortex at KI.
Ive ridden nearly all the B&M hypers and Raging Bulls drop is the best IMO. The back row is insane. When you feel the speed off the pre drop and watch the front of the train dissappear in front of you, you know you're going to get launched
Honestly, Blue Hawk has always been my favorite at SF over Georgia. Every time I go I try and ride it.
Thank you!!! Green Lantern is actually my favorite coaster at Great Adventure. It’s always been really smooth when I ride on it.
Thanks for giving credit to stand up coasters! There was a day at King's Island where the lines were so short the operators let me ride the King Cobra several times in a row before having to go through the empty queue again.

The little drop before the main drop on Raging Bull is an old B&M standard. It is on a lot of their old crop. It is done to relieve stress on the lift hill chain and actually reduces the overall G on the drop.
Raging Bull in the fall is just insane, they put new wheels which make it go crazy and the night rides are the best
Wisconsin Thrills why only in the fall? Is it because of the weather?
A Perfect Ride: The Boss, during Fright Fest, after dark, front car. Best ride of your life.
Dave Chamberlin yup! That’s exactly what I do
Yes
I’ve never seen somebody so happy about a mid course brake run
Ryan Mullin Anyone who rides Steel Vengeance?
The boss is legitimately my favorite wooden coaster. Then again, I haven't risen many wooden roller coasters.
I went on alot of wooden coasters this year and Boss is in my top 10. Its an awesome coaster!
Yes! Thank you Theme Park Crazy for pointing out that viper really isn’t a horrible ride people make it out to be. Magic mountain is my home park and viper isn’t the most memorable ride but it wasn’t bad at all!
Good to know you like Goliath! I'm VERY MUCH in love with its sister coaster, Titan. ^^
Timberwolf is amazing. When this was my home park, I marathoned it when my family was in Planet Snoopy and I could ride it all day and the Boss is the same
I loved riddlers revenge. Very intense and smooth.
I'd give American Eagle an underrated ribbon. When it races, it's incredibly fun and all it needs is some love to become one of the best rides in the park. Even if it does get the RMC treatment, I think it should still capture the moments that made the original so beautiful.
If it gets a steel rebuild, I'd trust GCI more

Behemoth at Canada's Wonderland trims every other hill it has.
Nice vid man fav rollers coaster youtuber
I’m glad you liked Viper at Magic Mountain. I agree, I hope they keep it running as long as possible.
Pete - awesome job with this channel! You have built quite the following on here!
The most underrated ride that I’ve ridden are mainly Balder, TTD and definitely Millennium Force. It’s not overrated anymore
I live in Delaware and I have family in Jersey. I have been to playland and have stood directly in front of galeforce, even riding the small coaster around it. But my family thought it was too expensive and I’ve never ridden it. Thanks for the info and now I can know how it feels from someone with experience
I have a bit of a bias since I go to Ocean City, NJ every summer, but I agree that Galeforce is very underrated!
I personally loved Raging Bull! It was my first B&M hyper. It wasn’t until after the ride, that I learned it gets a ton of hate for being a hyper
A suggestion I have is “Top 10 best retrackings” Exclude RMC I Box, rather compare coasters like Incr. Hulk before and after the retrack.
Most underrated to me are Wild Thing at Valleyfair, Gatekeeper at Cedar Point, Alpengeist at Busch Gardens Williamsburg, the Flight of Fear models, and Thunder Dolphin at Tokyo Dome City.
Merry Xmas and new year great coaster count dude
I love this channel best theme park roller coaster
When on Thunderbolt. Loved it. The airtime moments at the end were amazing.
I am happy you put in some good words for Goliath, Riddler's Revenge, and Viper. Viper in particular always gets unfairly hated on despite being and awesome ride, and Riddler's Revenge gets overlooked cause it's a stand up coaster.
Edit: Honestly Riddler's Revenge is one of my personal favorite coasters.

In the footage you have of Gale Force, the ride looks EXTREMELY jerky, but having seen it in person, it’s actually a very smooth and intense ride
An underrated coaster in my book is Rattenmuhle at Familypark in Austria,it’s just a hell load of fun and good theming,it’s by far the best Gerstlauer Bobsled I have ridden
It was nice meeting you at Coaster Con last year and both being able to attend the ACE Coaster Landmark ceremony at Montezooma's Revenge. Highly agree with the rides you mentioned at Six Flags Magic Mountain. In fact, I rode Viper more than any other coaster at the park during the convention.
I’m not sure if you’ve ever ridden it, but Comet at The Great Escape is a coaster hardly talked about but in my opinion is very underrated
The Boss has gotten better since it got reprofiled. On one hand I miss the helix at the end, but on the other hand I don't miss the ride feeling like a car crash.
The problem is they have to bring you to a full stop on the mid coarse. Hell, they slow you so much the first car hangs over the drop. Really kills the second half other that the final turnaround imo
Did you ride the boss before or after they took out the final helix? That helix was the best part of the ride and the boss is just not the same without it
It really just needs the RMC treatment at the condition it's in at this point. Such a shame that a giant woodie like that USED to be great.
Finally! Someone who likes the Boss!
Raging Bull is one of my most favorite roller coasters of all time. In fact it was the very first roller coaster that I rode and I loved how smooth this roller coaster is.

Worlds of Fun desperately needs a new coaster. Nothing super exciting since Prowler (which I love).
Hey i love ur channel Can u please do another video of top 25 best rollercoasters u riddenn
Finally someone agrees with me on 10 and 2. Those are great coasters that u can walk on to a lot!
The day before this I rode raging bull 10 times back to back
so happy to see the boss on here. ive lived in stl my whole life and didn’t ride it until 2 years ago due to the horror stories i had heard about it. now it’s one of my favorites
The Boss! Respect!
The Boss was my first roller coaster ever and still one of my absolute favorite coasters!
This is sooooooooo accurate!!! My brother and I actually rode Galeforce within a month of its original opening and we loved it! It’s his favorite coaster and he has like 150 credits lol
Riddlers Revenge is one of my favorite B&M coasters to this day
NEW MERCH! They make a great holiday gift :)
Bahaha maybe one day he'll do just one upload
The launch into the 2nd lap on gale force is incredible couldn't imagine what it would be like without that
I am in total agreement with viper at sfmm! It's a fun ride and not that rough for its age really! :)
Couldn't agree more with Riddler's Revenge; always been one of my favorites at Magic Mountain.
Glad to know that chang (green lantern) still exists lol that coaster will always hold a special place in my life
Here's what I think of these coasters:
10) I have a love/hate relationship with Viper. Somedays it runs VERY aggressive, while some days it's not as rough. However, I have a soft spot for this coaster, and ride it every time I go to Magic Mountain ( which is my home park).
9) Agree with you when it comes to riding them a "special way". If done right, these coasters can be really fun. GL also has a really solid layout.
8) Haven't ridden
7) Haven't ridden
6) Completely, 100% agree. I LOVE Goliath, one of my top 10 hypers. It may not be an airtime machine like B&M hypers, but it has a solid, smooth layout, with a terrific view of Magic Mountain from above. Ride it at night especially.
5) Haven't ridden.
4) Haven't ridden. .
3) Raging Bull seems to get the same flack Goliath does. Maybe I'm just an older enthusiasts ( having been an enthusiasts for over 20 years), but I remember back when RB and Goliath were among the top coasters in the country. I kinda wish there were more hyper-twister layouts. They're a lot of fun.
2) Personally, Riddler is in my top 5 for SFMM. I think it has one of B&M's best layouts, very reminiscent of Kumba at Busch Gardens Tampa.
1) Boss is the star attraction at SFSTL. A jacked up version of The Beast I like to think.
Was at world's of fun this past summer for the first time since the early 90s when timber wolf opened. Loved the ride. Wish I could have ridden it's original layout, but the new banked turn finale was fun too.
Trick with Viper is if you sit in the front, keep your head forward. If you sit in the back keep your head back. The new train they recently got does help a good amount.
my roommate got a concussion from riding green lantern back in 2016. i was riding beside her and didn’t have any issues, but i guess the head banging can be a mixed bag.
I wasn’t expecting The Boss on here, but I definitely agree with that one! One of my all time favorites
can we sit back and enjoy the amazing B&M roar that Riddler's Revenge gives us?
I’m enjoying the fact you included so far 2 from my home park or should I say hometown park since I’m in Vegas now. I’ll admit I felt head banging on Viper but still my favorite at Magic Mountain.
3 coasters from my hometown park. Awesome
Why is it that I watch this channel while I’m eating coaster studios while I’m drinking milk or something and airtime thrills whenever
You should ride "The Afterburn" at Carowinds. It's an amazing coaster. Gives u the illusion of flying due to the fact it was originally designed and named after the movie Top Gun.
