- There are some amazing coasters in my top 25, but there's a whole world out there and I've barely even scratched the surface. Here are 15 coasters that I have never ridden that could be/should be good enough for my top 25.
Thanks to Johnny McWilliams for this video idea!

I heard when you take rmc over your kids airtime thrills will pin your comment..
You heard correctly
Haha
Yep, I can confirm that's what I did
I don’t need family,I need ejector airtime
I don't have kids but I have a cedar fair platinum pass
I think a good idea for a video, might be to discuss how some smaller or underfunded parks could become top tourist destinations, and what they might need to do to reach that level
I like this idea!
I like this idea too! Add Mt. Olympus to that list, would love to see what you would do with that park.
hear me out If eltich gardens can just fiqure stuff out and get rid of their junk for new shiny coasters you got A nice park right there. Its serveing denver It can survive
La Ronde! It’s location is one of the best out there, a island in the St.Lawerence River inside the city of Montreal! Like come on! That park should not be as bad as they are now!
This would be great fun! I’m imagining myself with an RCT scenario to expand a small park, preferably one where money wasn’t an issue. 😊
I rode Shambhala while I was in Spain for my honeymoon last week. The POV's don't do it justice. We rode it 10 times, and honestly the airtime is better the further forward in the train you sit. We were getting sustained floater and ejector in the front row on every element, even the first drop. We had to have been out of our seats for 2/3 of the prime ride time. Smooth as butter, incredible view from the lift, etc etc etc can't say enough good things about it. Perfect coaster, you'll love it.
I am pretty sure F.L.Y will get in your Top 25, it has so much Airtime, it's so weird but so good.
7:00 Yeah it's good, but a little overrated. I took part in a 90 minute ERT recently and it was epic, all our thighs were sore at the end.
8:22 Absolutely this is the best coaster, it's so good.
The only major park I have been to is Six Flags Over Texas and I really want to go to alot more parks
Trust me, F.L.Y. is something else. It *would* make your top 25, im almost certain of it.
Colossos has an outstanding first 3rd, the rest is forceless and wasteful. last 2/3rds was a severe disappointment.
8:26 Ride to Happiness IS the best roller coaster in the world. I can confirm.
Zadra is worthy of the spot you gave it. truly a world class ride.
Your euro vlogs were so good bro
Is Hyperion overrated or underrated? For me it's underrated it's one of the best coasters in Europe
Don’t know if you’ve done it yet but it’d be cool if you did your top 25 single rides (like night ride voyage in 2019). Not you’re top 25 coasters, but your favorite ever times riding coaster (I remember lapping hurler at kings dominion at night about 15 years ago and it’s a crap ride but it was an unforgettably fun single time riding) I know this idea is a little all over the place so bye now!
Definitely a good idea and got a few that come to mind right away
I like this idea a lot. One time I was at Cedar Point and it started raining about an hour before closing time. They kept (almost) everything open and I managed to get multiple rainy night rides on Millennium, and one on Magnum. Kind of painful, but unforgettable.
As others pointed out, this idea is incredible. Me and a buddy got 3 night rides in a row on Minebuster's back row without having to leave the train and it was absoluetly hauling. Core thoosie memory right there.
Shambhala absolutely blew me away. Sheer joy to ride and still one of the very best in Europe as far as I’m concerned.
I have ridden a few of your dream rides in Asia, and I have to say that T-Express, Eejanaika, and Hakugei are all elite coasters. One coaster that has taken me by surprise is Steel Dragon 2000. I was not expecting the relentless ejector hills at the end of the ride.
The RMC located in Japan was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen at a park. It reminded me of the snowy tops on Mount Fuji. Watching it, I was like, "Bro, is this even real"? It's mesmorizing
Don't underestimate Hyperion at Energylandia. I rode it last year and was amazed by the sustained ejector airtime on the first drop and first airtime hill. I was even a bit underwhelmed by the first drop of Fury 325 because of this ride.
I'm in Korea at the moment, and have been riding T express. So far, no track problems. It's actually one of the smoothest wooden coasters I've ever ridden. The airtime IS insane. All of those small pops at the end are relentless, it's just constant ejecter airtime over and over and over in the back. Easily my #1 in the world (although I've really only experienced east coast parks). I'd say the airtime is very similar to Steel Vengence.
I rode it awhile ago and remember it being awesome. Basically El Toro but better
I have to agree with the sentiment about T-Express. I only went to Everland once during my year in Korea, and T-Express was definitely amazing.
The restraints on Fonix are the most comfortable that I’ve ever experienced. They actually extend and retract with your airtime moments. It’s really cool.
I can confirm Wildfire is still smooth, but because of the Topper track it feels a bit more wild. I have ridden Zadra for the first time 2 weeks ago and it's now my number 2 after Ride to Happiness.
Having done Zadra this year, I can confirm it is more than worthy of the number one spot in your list.
It's certainly my number 1.
Thank you for taking my suggestion, Chris. It turned out to be an amazing bucket list of coasters. I've never ridden any of them and couldn't think of a better line up.
You should do "Top 15 coasters that SHOULDN'T be in my top 25" next...
I'm also surprised Schwur des Karnan was only an honorable mention
Hahaha starting with Rip Ride Rockit
@@AirtimeThrills It's in my top ten only because of my lack of going to most big places outside of Disney and Universal
Mamba at WOF is running a lot better this year compared to previous years. They adjusted the trim brakes so they don't hit as hard and you're up out of your seat for most of the second half.
Yes, it's so good, I'm debating if its in my top ten (doesn't mean much with my collection, but still)
@@averagecoasterenjoyer it's not a top coaster for me but I actually prefer it to Magnum XL 200, I know that's a spicy take but the Morgan trains are more comfortable and I don't think Mamba is nearly as rough as Magnum.
@idkwhattoputhere Magnum is an Arrow Development Coaster, Mamba is a DH Morgan coaster.
@idkwhattoputhere you may be right that they have the same train designer but they're not identical. The Magnum trains have less room for your legs and I was constantly bashing my knees on the seat in front of me during the ride.
I rode Mamba in June and it was kinda disappointing. There was a little more air in the 2nd half than usual but it was just kind of eh compared to the hype its getting
I love riding coasters backward. Something about taking the drops laying down is actually relaxing. 😊
The level of disrespect put on F.L.Y. is insane. That ride is completely and totally unique and is an amazing experience. If it’s not at minimum in your top 10 you have a problem
Yeah its kind of a wildcard and an experience I'd have to have to understand what its all about. I cant find a comparable coaster on my list to it
@@AirtimeThrills I truly think that at this time, a comparable coaster doesn’t exist
3 video ideas:
-ranking the best parks to have as home parks, like to live right next to. taking into account where it is in relation to other important parks
-get sophie to make a top 15 list, and pick your top 15 out of the ones both of you have ridden. then roast each other's top 15
-talk about the worst states to live in, mostly i just want to see somebody agree that washington sucketh
I smile everytime I see Airtime Thrills uploaded a new video :)
Once you get back to Kings Island, I would like a in depth video of The Beast at night. The ride experience, the vibe in the station, the history. I really enjoyed the 50 year history of KI videos you have made.
Expedition GeForce is near the top of my list, and I think you'd love all the great airtime on that coaster. The first drop in the back is especially insane as you get whipped to the side while flying out of your seat.
Really glad I found your channel, my list of parks to visit is growing fast!
i’ve genuinely been waiting for this video for a few weeks so this is a very excited moment!
If me and my friends can ever actually plan our trip to Japan they'll have to deal with the fact I'm dedicating most of a day going to Nagashima Spa Land or Fuji-Q Highland, no way I'm missing that opportunity.
Never happening unfortunately. Because Japan is still going stupid over the dumb cold they require a chaperone tour for tourists now just like North Korea did
@@AdamSmith-gs2dv you know they're reopening from October 11th right?
Rode Zadra for the first time (well, 7 times) last week and it's great, but it's definitely a back row ride. Yeets you all over the place, but I do think Iron Gwazi edges it.
Ride to Happiness is absolutely insane. It produces sensations that I simply haven't experienced on anything else.
Kondaa is also great. The ejector over those first 2 hills is crazy. You get a solid 2 seconds over the first hill, then before you've recovered you hit the outer bank and get launched again.
Shambhala is the best B&M hyper I've ridden and it's not even close. It's also better than the only B&M giga I've ridden (Leviathan) by a distance. The first drop is crazy, the turnaround is awesome, the speed hill is great, and you're so exposed on those trains.
This is used the same intro for years. Real legend
Funny thing about that...October 3rd there will be an all new intro but not changing the song
Love the list - I find it interesting that my top 2 bucket list coasters are your #14 and #15.
I might be crazy but I think ride to happiness is UNDERrated on this list
Top 5 for each manufacturer i.e vekoma, arrow, intamin etc.
The vekoma vests aren't restrictive at all. They never prohibited airtime for me as a taller guy so that shouldn't be a problem.
Wildfire is a top bucket list coaster, I think it would be gorgeous at front row. same thing with expedition Geforce and RTH and time travler.
Time traveler is AMAZING. And it was the prototype. I cant even imagine how good RTH is.
Have you ever made it to Silver Dollar City?
@@Wandering_Outlaw Want to someday.
@@reddogplays4410 Outlaw Run and Time Traveler are one hell of a one two punch and the food and theming are fantastic. I'm proud to call it my home park.
@@Wandering_Outlaw I rode time traveler and it’s amazing.
Great video. Thank you for explaining these awesome coasters.
I dont know the details about coasters like you guys do, like when you get points when you ride them. I just enjoy riding them. But, i cant do to many upside down, or corkscrews due to headaches and nausea, which sucks.
Im a little ole fashioned and I love the woodies, old and new.
I would love to ride IRON GWAZZI at BUSCH GARDENS. I can do the woodies that do their crazy turns, and so forth.
But, with low back pains, i would need to take a bunch of extra strength tylenol. Lol.
Great job 👏 👍
You should do a video ranking all of the different dueling coasters or something similar
Lech and FLY, surely will be in your 25. This rides leave you speechless 🔥 sometimes I feel the vest is needed. Peace ✌️
Ah yes, the video of all the coasters I want to ride too. :3 Yeah I haven't ridden any of these as I've left the country a grand total of ONCE and it was back in 1997. Came back in 2000 and never left. :P
you should do "usa theme parks" map on geoguessr, sounds like a really fun idea.
All the coasters look like a real good time and fun.
I rode Eejanaika when I was stationed in Japan for the Navy. I rode it before X2 and I remember Eejanaika being way more intense.
Video Idea: Prelift Coasters, By the Numbers (coasters with a notable Prelift I.e Hades 360, copperhead strike, etc)
Or just top 10 coaster prelift sections, ranked solely by the quality of the prelifts alone.
I was waiting for you to bring up Untamed at Walibi Holland. It's the definition of a short but sweet ride. It feels like you're out of your seat 50% of the ride. You're absolutely gonna love it if you ever get the chance to ride!
I've actually ridden Collossos in Heide Park and the first 2 Airtime hills are INSANE. The other moments are also pretty good.
And people praise El Toro even more!
Funny that my number 1 and 2 coasters that I've ridden are your 1 and 2 here just the other way around - can't wait to get back to Japan in November to get more rides on eejanaika after 3 years and to see where hakugei ranks
Love your visa, especially ones where you talk about coasters I know about! Maybe a good video idea is to talk about theming on rollercoasters?
Just wrote this one up, will give you a shoutout when it drops
DC rivals hyper coaster is such a great ride. I love it. The whole ride has wonderful airtime and that first drop backwards in the last row is one of the craziest experiences on a coaster I’ve been on.
I just love this guy's job, I would just love to go with any of these RUclipsrs who do these coaster vids just once.... But to have this as your job just incredible......somebody take me to a park....
As a german Coaster Enthusiast, who was on every big Coaster in Germany, i can say that "Schwur des Kärnan" is absolutley not overrated and one of the best Coasters of all time
Video idea: Top 10 elements that don't exist in real life, but should.
A lot of amazing-looking Chinese coasters get overlooked. I think it’s because few westerners travel to China to ride roller coasters. Check out Bullet Coaster in Shenzhen (and the 3 other clones and near-clones scattered across China):
S&S air launch designed by Alan Schilke
0-83 mph in less than 2 seconds
A top hat that dives more than 220 feet and goes underground
At least 1 airtime hill that looks powerful and a decent overall layout for this kind of coaster
Then there’s Flash at Lewa Adventure which is the other Mack Hyper model and looks awesome. Also the tallest coaster in China, Coaster Through the Clouds, looks like a cross between Millennium Force and Expedition GeForce.
W vid I really wanna ride fury and Hyperion as those are the number 1 bucket list coaster in and out of us for me
Man, I thought this video would be coasters that should be in your top 25, but aren't because of something that could easily be fixed. I think a video like that would be awesome!
A good idea could be top 5 countries for coasters
That is a good idea...
I think you may have overlooked Helix at Liseberg. It is an absolutely phenomenal ride!
I didn't overlook it for this list, i just dont think a ride like that would crack my personal top 25
@@AirtimeThrills I hope you get to ride it one day. It has all your favorite features in one ride. Some of the best ejector air and great intensity throughout.
Man this guys upload schedule is soo good
Between this channel and Canobie Coaster, I'm hoping one of you does a list of Top 10 free-admission amusement parks.
The ride to happiness hype as best in the world is definitely picking up. I’d love to ride it and really see if it lives up to the hype.
When I was in Europe this year I had the chance to ride Kondaa, and let me tell you, it is outstanding. I ended up riding it 20 times that day by lapping the single rider line!
Kondaa and Expedition Geforce are both excellent, comfortable and filled with airtime, but Ride to Happiness is another level. Launches and inversions on a spinning coaster sure, but comfortable automatic staple-proof restraints, onboard audio and some of the strongest ejector airtime of any coaster out there make the difference.
video idea- Top ten coasters that got built the quickest and top ten coasters that took the longest to be built!
I wish riding backwards on DC rivals was cheaper because it's so amazing.
Video idea: best mine coasters you’ve been on, best dark rides, best themed lands
Video idea: 15 Roller Coasters on your bucket list
We’re getting high concept with these lists now 😂😂😂
Do a top 25 bucket list coasters. (Coasters you haven't been on, but really want to)
I have been on 439 coasters all in the US. I can list these 22 (20 of them are operational).
USA (1): ArieForce One
North America: Coaster (2) (PNE Playland), Superman El Ultimo Escape (SFMexico)
Australia (1): DC Rivals
Asia (6): Eejanaika, Hakugei, Dinoconda, T Express, Wood Coaster, Python in Bamboo Forest
Europe (12): Zadra, Untamed, Wildfire, Expedition GeForce, Kondaa, Ride to Happiness, Taiga, Toutatis, Shambhala, Hyperion, Lech Coaster, Schwur des Karnan,
14 of the 22 are similar to yours. I think Colossus has too many dead spots after the drop and camelbacks.
Flying Dinosaur excised, eh? Damn there are a lot of coasters I still need to ride. I need a Time Turner pronto
Airtime... I've been a fan of yours for maybe 4 years.. I haven't been on a coaster for 3... I stumbled upon cedar point this weekend and bam.... I rode Gemini.. with a bad back... Probably the most fun coaster (besides racer) I've ever ridden but with your advice... Thanks b.. u that dude
Gemini is nothing but fun
Hey Chris. Just curious why you'd classify Phantom's Revenge as an Arrow still, but not an RMC conversion as its original company? Is it simply because RMC converted it from wood to steel? I just feel like Phantom's Revenge was changed so much it's not really the original Arrow creation anymore.
Almost all the track in Phantoms Revenge is Morgan. IMO it's a Morgan not an Arrow at this point
I don't recall calling Phantom's Revenge an Arrow. I definitely consider it a Morgan, it's just different from your traditional Morgan ground-up hyper due to the existing ride they had to work with. Looking at the 3 original Morgans, I'm surprised that Superman is supposedly so much better.
@@AirtimeThrills it was the whole "Morgan original" statement. I see what you're saying. Not sure I'd have the same mindset of disregarding it from the grouping of Morgan's originals. They still made it. Just like I wouldn't disregard something RMC built, or Powder Keg since it's a mutant of a ride. 😀
I've only ridden the German coasters you mention so far. I think Kärnen and Colossos are definitely worthy. F.L.Y. is fantastic and very high up on my list of favorites. It focuses more on being a well-rounded, immersive attraction than on incredible intensity. I could see where that could disappoint somebody. As a person nearing 50, I'm ok with it being less intense as long as it's fun and interesting. Under the right conditions you can get air time on F.L.Y., which is unique for flying coasters. It is by far the smoothest, most comfortable, and most immersively themed flying coaster I've ever ridden.
I have a video idea! Remember that series you did that was like “every coaster that ********** needs the most?” Well, you should do another one, this time about Major European parks!
I have rode Untamed yesterday, and i can tell you its one of the best RMC's i have ever been on.
😀
Video idea: how major manufacturers can improve (be it with what they have or rounding out their portfolio with something new).
You should do a video of your top bucket list coaster from each manufacturer
coaster dash has ride to happiness ranked over zadra,i can see that tbh
Surprised that Hyperion isn’t on this.
The. Smiler. Will. Genuinely. Shock. You. How. Good. It. Is.
Zadra is my favorit! Love it
I just wanna point out the airtime on untamed
Every moment of airtime feels like -1.2 - -1.5 g and it’s just insane
And I don’t think the switchback hill on zadra gets enough attention because it’s my favorite element ever
I live really close to dc rivals hypercoaster and can easily say it's the best ride in Australia, and possibly the best mack ride, and the backwards seats are the scariest things I have ever experienced.
I’ve heard that FLY is waaaaay more intense than the B&M’s, and I think it could be a top ten ride in the world
I want PTC by the numbers since they are the classic wooden coaster
the US really needs some more Intamin mega coasters. Kondaa looks so damn fun!
Seriously, we got a few from the first generation but just waiting on someone to buy a new one
Eejanaika is just so over the top intense, violent, and disorienting, it’s the only ride that made me question my mortality and tear up a bit after. I haven’t ridden X2, so I cannot compare to that, but I’ve done the likes of Intimidator 305, Top Thrill, Skyrush, Maverick, a few RMCs etc. Those rides don’t even exist in the same universe. Honestly it might not be a top 25 but the first launch of Do-Dodonpa kind of exists in the same plane of “this shouldn’t be legal.”
Shouldn't there be a Question Mark on Arie Force One's opening date?
This year I went to SWSA for the first time, and Steel Eel was down the whole day. That sucked.
Couple of important caveats regarding Ride to Happiness if you were to ride it:
1. You cannot prevent getting yourself stapled. The ride is designed to lower the lapbars automically (the ops order you to keep your arms crossed to your chest) and they will go down as far as they could go. The train will not dispatch if there’s even a slight gap.
2. The capacity, like most coasters at Plopsaland, is really poor.
3. The ride has a small, but noticable rattle. It’s nothing game-breaking by any means, but it could hampen the experience in some spots.
The ride is still great, but I wouldn’t go as far as to call it the automatic masterpiece it’s been hyped up to be for the reasons above.
As for Kondaa, the important thing is to not let a morning ride be your only ride. The coaster has somewhat of a habit to run a bit slow early in the day, but it is relentless once warmed up. That final run of bunny hops are some of the most aggressive I’ve ever experienced, only behind Untamed’s last few hills.
Here's an idea for you Chris .... Top 25 defunct coasters YOU wish you had the chance to ride, but never did.
How about Prime Ride Time for Eurofighters and Infinity Coasters?
Idea: top 10 track types or maybe strongest positive g moments in America?
all of these coasters look amazing
Awesome video!
Did you forget Hyperion?
I didn't, I just don't think that would be top 25 worthy based on what I have heard
Would love a video about your top 10 defunct roller coasters that you were able to ride as well as top 10 defunct that you wish you would have gotten to ride.
I did make a top 10 defunct video but i am planning on doing one for the ones i wish i could have ridden
Great list. I think you're highly underestimating Hyperion and Taron (especially if you like Velocicoaster and Pantheon). Both are better than DC Rivals for me as an example and that's moved out of my top 25 after my recent Europe trip. Zadra, Untamed, Kondaa for sure. Expedition Geforce might not deliver what you expect from it. FLY and RTH are both amazing, but not top 25 worthy in my opinion. Also don't write off Flying Aces, even if you don't rate Skyrush.
Regional roller coaster "trails". IE a roadtrip that hits several top tier rollercoasters and some smaller coasters at hard to find spots.
Untamed is my only RMC apart from New Texas Giant but it leapt to my #1 and that's with the shin restraints hurting me. The zero G roll overtook Tatsu's pretzel loop as my favourite element, it's nuts.
Future video idea here. How about your favorite roller coasters per model? Favorite Multi looper, launch, hyper, etc.
7:33 BROOOOO 🤣🤣🤣
Just sayin...
Pleae do what coaster every park in Florida needs or what you think would fit best ❤
