facts. it closed every park which is bad for everyone. i was looking forward to my first visit to Six Flags Great Adventure and i guess it aint happening.
It's true that a lot of the decorations they put around rides are completely pointless. Either you're going too fast to see them or there just a pointless waste of money that should have been put into the ride itself.
On the ride of steel in darien lake it feels like your gliding across the water making the ride better in my opinion but the one in sfa I agree that the straight track ruins it.
I wish they would add on to the full throttle track. They could easily add another 1500ft of track with all that speed and there’s space around it towards Superman
yes thank you, I've told management that multiple times whenever we do one of those surveys. There's a reason it's jokingly called Half Throttle, and there's a reason Six Flags has the reputation it does....
There is plenty of space over the entry for a nice helix after the final drop. And in the same vein, Twisted Colossus has room for a nice helix before the second lift. And that would give more load time for the train in the station so trains can race.
Hopefully Cedar Fair will fix the west coast’s hyper problem and put one in the park that’s been rumored for so long. I’m talking about Gilroy Gardens of course.
@Alyssa Bennett So pretty much to change the ride they ripped out all thematic elements and added in some neon lights. It's one of the worst and cheapest refurbs I've ever seen Disney do. And especially in this day and age that's saying something.
My home park has Goliath’s better twin, titan and it’s fun, but that turnaround after the drop gets rid of almost all momentum, and don’t even get me started on those mid-course brakes. But it is a overall fun and intense coaster worth riding when you visit the park.
i personally love the ending on full throttle partially because of the break run. without it, the ride wouldn’t send you soaring out of your seat nearly as much. great video nonetheless!
the feeling of getting absolutely pulled apart by that brake run is so surreal. makes me feel like I'm in a dragster that just pulled the chute--which I guess is what they were going for? Nuts. Never had an experience quite like it. Rapid deceleration can be just as thrilling as rapid acceleration.
+1 for Buzz Killington mention I’ll always remember Goliath before the ultra-trims. It didn’t used to slow down so much, what is it traveling, maybe 5-10mph after the trims? It used to be more like 25-30, and that Helix was far more intense.
I actually like the straight track on ride of steel simply because the airtime hill really pays off. You're building up so much energy that when you go over the hill, you get a huge airtime boost
Leviathan: World's longest break run Orion: Hold my beer Also with Behemoth, they only activate the first trim and it's not that heavy, the other two are never on. I still can't believe after 12 years, people still think all three are on lol.
Yeah you're right, Behemoth only runs with one trim on at a time. Sometimes on colder days the trim on the last hill is turned on instead of the first hill which means that the two hills before are trimless.
I have to disagree with you on the Superman Ride of Steel straight track. This is one of my favorite parts of the ride as you are just speeding through the air without losing much speed, and its awesome. The whole point of the ride is the speed and airtime.
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the trim on top of Lightning Rod. With all that momentum, I thought we were going to get some killer air only for the train to just slow down.
On the Ride of Steel clones, the straight track is a fun moment to throw your arms up and relax before a great moment of airtime on that next giant hill
Mathew’s Coaster Vids exactly, there’s always something to appreciate about all of these “buzzkills”. Brake runs increase total ride capacity and get you through the line a little faster, these weird track moments are all quirks that haven’t been repeated since they were built and offer some individualism where a lot of these rides are becoming formulaic.
Levithan's final brake run was intended to be a mid-course brake run followed by a final brake run as it levels off in the station. So technically it makes sense why it's so high and so long (as trains are easier to slow down when it's higher.) and also it's also the reason why Levithan can run with 3 trains, otherwise it would be run by 2 trains. And also Behemoth's only uses one trim from the amount of times I've been on there. Which is usually the first hill after the hammerhead turn.
Ken Norcott yeah but people who complain about Twisted Cyclones length don’t have a good point because it’s 9 ft shorter and it would go a lot slower and maybe even valley
As a professional IRat fanboy, I must say that I disagree. It isn’t that slow on the quarry and it’s still fun. Either way, the airtime hills that aren’t the drop off the quarry wall are still pretty good airtime
@Airtime Thrills I can definitely understand that cuz it definitely loses some speed, but it’s a lot faster on the quarry than most people make it out to be
@@AirtimeThrills Maybe if Rattler didn't stall at the top of the lift? I know the train nearly stops before the drop, vs other RMCs that tend to just let the train go at the lift speed. It's only a few miles per hour but that could bake the difference.
@@AirtimeThrills I sadly agree. I really wanted more speed with Irat and it just didn't deliver. Still one of my favorite coasters though, just think it could've been better.
Ok so imagine this. The second life hill on twisted colossus is a buzzkill right, well what if rmc came back to magic mountain and speeded up the second lift. Then they added a launch to the first one. So you get a launch the first time, and a faster lift hill the second time. Tell me that wouldn’t be a good idea...
Kingda Ka, as wretched as it can be has a bad break run, on the 127’ bunny hill, killing the speed before it reaches close to its top speed again...unlike TTD, that levels out, hits over 100mph again then brakes.... Long brake run on Fury 325 at the end Alpengeist, after the last corkscrew, meanders through slow turns until you eventually hit the break run El Toro, after the rolling thunder hill and the s-curves, loses all sorts of steam after the first 3 of those turns (right-left-right)...the last of the weaker turns towards the brake run are at a much less feverish pace. Verbolten, after the drop over the water, starts to die leading up to the brake run... I guess I prefer coasters that come in hard to the brake run. Great list as always!! Your channel is superb.
The brakes on the drop of Full Throttle isn't the only thing I didn't like about the last part of the ride. On that airtime hill (I sat close to the front and back) I get basically ZERO airtime. You just kinda awkwardly glide on it. But this is coming from someone who thought Goliath at the same park had a lot of forceful elements apart from the helixes after the brake run.
For whatever reason the trim on I305 didn't remove the airtime from those 2 kills. I remember getting strong airtime on those, close to the level that Twisted Timbers was giving. I'm going to disagree on the straight track of Ride of Steel too; its a nice fast section which allows for some recovery after the previous intense helix, and builds anticipation for the amazing airtime hill on it. The second helix is a bigger buzzkill just due to how forceless it is. How the hell is Alpengeist's mid course not on this list? That thing ruins the second half of the ride. It goes from being a very intense coaster to a very boring one once it hits the brakes. Some argument could be made for Afterburn's Hill as well, although honestly I didn't think that the ride had that much intensity or great of pacing to begin with. But the ride does get worse after that point.
Alpengeist midcourse was only running horribly slow at the beginning of last year, i think they fixed it. It actually made for some good hangtime on the final inversions tho
For me the Disney coaster Everest starts getting really good towards the end but brakes way to early ugh. If it had 10-15 more seconds it would be better and with steeper drops lol
Buzz kill: Trim Brakes on Eurosat CanCan Coaster. (especially the 2nd MCBR before the helix) The helix after the 2nd trim used to be so intense and the best part of the ride. The old eurosat however had a Buzz kill before the brakerun on the flat long turn along the sphere walls.
Or all of the RMC's *STUPID SHIN GUARDS!!* WHY?! WHAT IS THE POINT IN SHIN GUARDS!? HOW DO THEY MATRTHE RIDE MORE SECURE!? They accomplish almost nothing but trapping my legs! That is why I prefer the Gerthslier trains because they only have one shin guard so at least one leg is free. I love RMC, but I don't know why they have shin guards. If you know why they exist, please tell me, so I may forgive the shin guards.
@@Stephenp503 I think it's to restrict your legs so the trains can be shorter and negotiate tighter turns. If you want freedom try Mack launch trains. The lapbar feels like it isn't even there and your feet are off the floor unless you're tall (sometimes being under five seven is worth it, haha).
@@Stephenp503 Those are important for safety -- the rider's legs need to be forced into being bent, to prevent the rider from being able to slip upwards out of the restraints. On most rollercoasters, the restraint is only there to get patrons to sit down -- even if the restraints weren't there, physics would hold riders in (the airtime is either gentle or short enough that the rider would land back in the seat). This is NOT the case on RMCs, and so the lapbar has to actively hold the rider in, a duty it doesn't have on most other rollercoasters.
I definitely disagree with iron rattlers quarry section as when I was there it didn’t seem to lose much speed on the quarry and it was faster through the ending
Twisted Colossus wouldn't be a buzzkill if Magic Mountain had built two stations in the conversion. If they had done that, they could've done what Kennywood does with Racer: Wait until both trains are clear for dispatch and the trains always get to duel
The backwards section on Th13teen at Alton Towers would definitely be on this list if you ride it. The drop-track before it is really cool, then it just crawls through the backwards section. I think the drive tyres that take you back into the station are faster! 😂
I was on a coaster at Holiday World a little over a year ago, and we were stopped on the chain lift. There was a PA message that came through multiple times, from the ride operator, telling one of the riders to put their phone away. We must have been stopped for about two minutes. Total buzz kill.
10:14 I mean they could have had 2 stations, one to get on at, and one to get off at right before the lift hill. But idk because I’ve never really seen this ride before... Edit: that’s why they call it InTrImIdAtOr¡!
I always feel bad when a guy gets on Riddlerrs revenge. I am a lady and that stupid seat is hell, even for me. I always tell people to push down as far as u can, so when it locks u can stand up straight. It makes it slightly better Ps. I think it hilarious when the younger boys keep screwing around and seat locks and their feet are 8 in off the ground
Tbh I didn't really think the brakes on Rip Ride Rockit slowed me down at all.. Also, I don't think Irat has pacing issues, maybe that's just because I'm a Texas coaster fanboy though, lol.
Funny how perspective can change ones opinion. The buzz kill moment on the ride of steel clones you describe is actually a favorite of mine. I agree it’s way too long of a straight track, but this is a favorite moment of mine because it reminds me of hitting a big jump on my snowmobile. It’s just in the difference of the transition from straight flat track into that beautiful air time hill versus the normal more parabolic curve. I think because of the difference in how you enter that air time hill from straight and flat you really get slammed with a lot of positive G’s at the bottom of the airtime hill it feels awesome. For me the double helixes ruin that coaster...
Silver dollar city community: should we make a roller coaster that goes at a high speed with no brakes Entire park: barely has any brakes on any roller coaster
Mine definitely isn’t on your list. Nitro’s midcourse 😭😭. The first time I rode it I thought the ride was over. The train slows down so much and it takes some time to gain it back after. Shallow first drops are also the worst. The straight track on Superman and the trim on I305 didn’t really bother me. I’ve only ridden Nitro in the front the two times I’ve been on it. Oops.
The trim at the end of Thunderhawk at Dorney completely ruins that ride. The magnetic trims on The Beast also suck. I know the park claims they do the same thing the old skid brakes did but they sure don't feel the same. Watching your I305 POV explains why you rank it so low. It looked to be running exceptionally slow that day. On a hot day, while the trim is still annoying, you still get borderline ejector air in the back.
Texas Giant's last lap offers some decent airtime, but I think 2 of the elements along that lap tend to fall a bit short. Could have probably used 10 more feet.
There’s a turn on the big wooden coaster (forgot the name) in Parc Asterix in France...it’s such a good coaster but one turn slams you into the side of the the train and it makes you lose all focus on the enjoyment and you focus on the pain that’s a buzzkill I think
Interesting about Wicked Cyclone... the Original Cyclone's last lap was a wimper as well.. It was actually warmly welcomed because that wooden coaster was actually an insane ride. It looks fairly tame in POV's, but they severely reduced the first drop about 5-10 years before it's final year. The first drop used to be huge in conjunction with the first banked turn.
Never felt the trims on GCI Ghostrider. I was absolutely flung out of my seat on that drop. The real complaints I hear are that the new reprofiling isn't as good as the original.
@@hellacia8151 Heck yeah, The Best "Wooden" coaster in the West. Thankfully it got it's recognition in the Golden Ticket awards as the #6 best wooden coaster.
The biggest buzzkill on any coaster I've been on is the loading tunnel on West Coast Racers. This ride has to be dispatched in such a way that it duels perfectly. Sadly, the ride is very hard to dispatch and even harder for riders to get into, so you can be stuck in the middle of a boring empty tunnel with the same two Pimp My Ride clips playing over again for TWO MINUTES OR MORE! If the ride had a moving station like Rip Ride Rockit or wobbling motion to simulate a tune-up like Radiator Springs Racers, it would be significantly better.
Can we get a video on the "competition in the NJ / Pennsylvania area? With american dream mall opening and hershey getting a B&M hyper (candymonium), six flags giving great adventure their first original coaster since el toro. Now Dorney getting a coaster.... Which park will take the lead???
Same, especially on B&M hypers with staggered seating. In the front row you get pushed over the crest of the airtime hill while in the back you get slowly dragged over the crest and don't really get any airtime until you're falling back down.
Ride of Steel is everyone's first design in Roller Coaster Tycoon.
Nah I think you mean dragon mountain. Watch the pov.
Helices are expensive tho
unbank the turns and make the helixes go around 5+ times then you'd be correct
It’s Intamin’s first hyper; I’ll give them a pass. It’s not “terrible” just a buzzkill.
@@rianwhitman6995 First and second lol.

Buzz kill: Trim Brakes on Eurosat CanCan Coaster. (especially the 2nd MCBR before the helix)
The helix after the 2nd trim used to be so intense and the best part of the ride.
The old eurosat however had a Buzz kill before the brakerun on the flat long turn along the sphere walls.
I rode eurosat in summer 2019 and it was flying around but apparently in its opening season it was trimmed so much
9:55 you officially offended me by dissing on the greatest hyper coaster designer.
Biggest buzzkill : comfort collars on wcr
Or all of the RMC's *STUPID SHIN GUARDS!!* WHY?! WHAT IS THE POINT IN SHIN GUARDS!? HOW DO THEY MATRTHE RIDE MORE SECURE!? They accomplish almost nothing but trapping my legs! That is why I prefer the Gerthslier trains because they only have one shin guard so at least one leg is free. I love RMC, but I don't know why they have shin guards. If you know why they exist, please tell me, so I may forgive the shin guards.
@@Stephenp503 I think it's to restrict your legs so the trains can be shorter and negotiate tighter turns.
If you want freedom try Mack launch trains. The lapbar feels like it isn't even there and your feet are off the floor unless you're tall (sometimes being under five seven is worth it, haha).
@@Stephenp503 Those are important for safety -- the rider's legs need to be forced into being bent, to prevent the rider from being able to slip upwards out of the restraints. On most rollercoasters, the restraint is only there to get patrons to sit down -- even if the restraints weren't there, physics would hold riders in (the airtime is either gentle or short enough that the rider would land back in the seat). This is NOT the case on RMCs, and so the lapbar has to actively hold the rider in, a duty it doesn't have on most other rollercoasters.

How To Play Everything that’s pretty funny
I’d argue X2’s turnaround is worse than Ghostrider’s non existent trims
The turnaround could have been on here for sure
Just never put trim brakes on Skyrush!
I definitely disagree with iron rattlers quarry section as when I was there it didn’t seem to lose much speed on the quarry and it was faster through the ending
Seriously! It has way more speed on the quarry than anyone says it does
CoasterCraziness that is so true
Probably depends on if it's warmed up
Twisted Colossus wouldn't be a buzzkill if Magic Mountain had built two stations in the conversion. If they had done that, they could've done what Kennywood does with Racer: Wait until both trains are clear for dispatch and the trains always get to duel
I don’t mind ride of Steels straight sections at all! It really shows how fast your going!
Same even though it’s odd
@@ThrillsofColdplay couldn't agree more. Odd =/= Buzzkill
I'd agree. Gives recovery time after the intense helix as well. I'd argue the second helix is a better candidate.
@@RemixedVoice *≠
The backwards section on Th13teen at Alton Towers would definitely be on this list if you ride it. The drop-track before it is really cool, then it just crawls through the backwards section. I think the drive tyres that take you back into the station are faster! 😂
Th13teen in general is just a very weird ride, it never has a lot of momentum and it has brakes on the first drop
Th13teen is a glorified kiddie coaster
OMG yes it makes no sense. Them trims on the first drop are so sad . It would be a good drop otherwise
I was on a coaster at Holiday World a little over a year ago, and we were stopped on the chain lift. There was a PA message that came through multiple times, from the ride operator, telling one of the riders to put their phone away.
We must have been stopped for about two minutes. Total buzz kill.
“Oh I wonder what could be at the end of this lift hill!”
“Maybe some scary drop, or maybe even a-“
“It’s over get out.”
*“What?!” “What?!”*
Maverick would over speed
10:14 I mean they could have had 2 stations, one to get on at, and one to get off at right before the lift hill. But idk because I’ve never really seen this ride before...
Edit: that’s why they call it InTrImIdAtOr¡!
The full throttle brakes used my sack as a punching bag. Loved the ride but that part sucked.
I always feel bad when a guy gets on Riddlerrs revenge. I am a lady and that stupid seat is hell, even for me. I always tell people to push down as far as u can, so when it locks u can stand up straight. It makes it slightly better
Ps. I think it hilarious when the younger boys keep screwing around and seat locks and their feet are 8 in off the ground
We get it, you want Goliath at sfmm to burn.
Tbh I didn't really think the brakes on Rip Ride Rockit slowed me down at all.. Also, I don't think Irat has pacing issues, maybe that's just because I'm a Texas coaster fanboy though, lol.
I figured this would be a list of elements, not individual situations. Trims, trims, trims. Yeah, we know.
Block brakes: the rides
Funny how perspective can change ones opinion. The buzz kill moment on the ride of steel clones you describe is actually a favorite of mine. I agree it’s way too long of a straight track, but this is a favorite moment of mine because it reminds me of hitting a big jump on my snowmobile. It’s just in the difference of the transition from straight flat track into that beautiful air time hill versus the normal more parabolic curve.
I think because of the difference in how you enter that air time hill from straight and flat you really get slammed with a lot of positive G’s at the bottom of the airtime hill it feels awesome.
For me the double helixes ruin that coaster...
I think the trims on the Intimidator coasters are there because they’re the coaster versions of NASCAR Restrictor plates.
On nitro I also wish that there was no mid course bit it is hilarious when the GP think the rode is over and freak out during the next drop
the second lift hill on jaguar turns it into an intermediate ride as opposed to a high thrill ride, which it was designed to be
I dont think it was ever supposed to be a high thrill ride
for some people it is
Pr0fessor XD *cough cough* my cousin who started crying on pony express
Silver dollar city community: should we make a roller coaster that goes at a high speed with no brakes
Entire park: barely has any brakes on any roller coaster
The biggest buzzkill really was Ring Racer.
For operating coasters I choose Naga Bay’s mid courses which are slowing you way to much down.
I think the GP would really like buzz kills. They don’t like the high speed or tall coasters so yeah they like buzz kills
I can only imagine going flying after that maverick launch.
The hulk at universal studios. 1st half is so fun but the second half is so lame, the entire train is silent everytime💀💀💀
Mine definitely isn’t on your list. Nitro’s midcourse 😭😭. The first time I rode it I thought the ride was over. The train slows down so much and it takes some time to gain it back after. Shallow first drops are also the worst. The straight track on Superman and the trim on I305 didn’t really bother me. I’ve only ridden Nitro in the front the two times I’ve been on it. Oops.
Do you know what happened to dan from the coaster network
Ha peter griffin
At least you get some airtime on Full Throttle before the brakes, unlike I305 where the trim brakes rob you of any excitement at the end.
The trim at the end of Thunderhawk at Dorney completely ruins that ride. The magnetic trims on The Beast also suck. I know the park claims they do the same thing the old skid brakes did but they sure don't feel the same. Watching your I305 POV explains why you rank it so low. It looked to be running exceptionally slow that day. On a hot day, while the trim is still annoying, you still get borderline ejector air in the back.
I hated this brakes on Thunderhawk on what should be a great airtime section leading back to the station.
Hey right now I would take a ride on any coaster .
Kinda surprised Texas Giants last elements weren’t on here. On IRAT the turns are fun and the airtime hill after the inversion is surprisingly strong.
Seriously! Super underrated
Texas giants last lap is similar to WiCy but i dont think its quite as slow
Texas Giant's last lap offers some decent airtime, but I think 2 of the elements along that lap tend to fall a bit short. Could have probably used 10 more feet.
There’s a turn on the big wooden coaster (forgot the name) in Parc Asterix in France...it’s such a good coaster but one turn slams you into the side of the the train and it makes you lose all focus on the enjoyment and you focus on the pain that’s a buzzkill I think
Interesting about Wicked Cyclone... the Original Cyclone's last lap was a wimper as well.. It was actually warmly welcomed because that wooden coaster was actually an insane ride. It looks fairly tame in POV's, but they severely reduced the first drop about 5-10 years before it's final year. The first drop used to be huge in conjunction with the first banked turn.
Wicked Cyclone absolutely crushes that final lap on a good day, though. I think AT just caught it on an off day.
My buzzkills:
1) Trims on Beat
2) Trim on second airtime hill of I305
3) Trims on Lightning Rod
4) Helix on Fury 325
Dude I love your profile pic
Skyrush Fanboy Thanks man
Never felt the trims on GCI Ghostrider. I was absolutely flung out of my seat on that drop. The real complaints I hear are that the new reprofiling isn't as good as the original.
They are totally smoking, bc the GCCI Ghostrider is the best it's ever run.
@@gregcharles3240 Apparently it's less intense now, but I still get flung out on that drop, so it's still absolutely amazing
@@hellacia8151 Heck yeah, The Best "Wooden" coaster in the West. Thankfully it got it's recognition in the Golden Ticket awards as the #6 best wooden coaster.
@@gregcharles3240 What do you mean "wooden"? It's not like an arrow hybrid or ibox
@@hellacia8151 Just to separate from say the best coaster in the west, because the best coaster in the west is Twisted Colossus.
The biggest buzzkill on any coaster I've been on is the loading tunnel on West Coast Racers. This ride has to be dispatched in such a way that it duels perfectly. Sadly, the ride is very hard to dispatch and even harder for riders to get into, so you can be stuck in the middle of a boring empty tunnel with the same two Pimp My Ride clips playing over again for TWO MINUTES OR MORE! If the ride had a moving station like Rip Ride Rockit or wobbling motion to simulate a tune-up like Radiator Springs Racers, it would be significantly better.
How about this: show all of the coasters and say I HATE BRAKES. Save us wasting 14 minutes watching you complain non-stop.
Airtime Thrills: Family Guy Edition
Can we get a video on the "competition in the NJ / Pennsylvania area?
With american dream mall opening and hershey getting a B&M hyper (candymonium), six flags giving great adventure their first original coaster since el toro.
Now Dorney getting a coaster....
Which park will take the lead???
*Yeah we’re looking at you Goliath.!*
Wow, Six Flags Magic Mountain is the king of roller coaster buzz kills.
I actually prefer riding B&M hypers in the front. I like floating over the top, not being pulled down the hill.
Same, especially on B&M hypers with staggered seating. In the front row you get pushed over the crest of the airtime hill while in the back you get slowly dragged over the crest and don't really get any airtime until you're falling back down.
Looks like Full Throttle doesn't go full throttle after all XD
I've been in RipRide Rockit twicce (years apart) and the mid course break runs never stopped the train at all
