💀
Six flags: alright Magic Mountain give up one of your rides
Magic Mountain: you get Green Lantern take it or leave it
7:33 When you ask the GP what their favorite ride at Cedar Point is:
Maverick Magnum Forge Vengeance
The absolute GOAT that is ragin cajun better be on here smh
free spin
Right?
I did love my ride on R.C. but i cant put it on the top list lol...its a spinning mouse after all
The smoothest B&M in Maryland was snubbed
Is it worse than Arkansas Twister tho
Speaking of coasters in Maryland though, the state is home to what has to be the world's best alpine coaster, at Wisp Resort in Deep Creek. It's legit intense, best coaster of any kind in the state and in my top 25 (out of 200) overall. I'm not kidding, everything you heard about the Blackpool Wild Mouse is true about this alpine coaster.
@@AirtimeThrills Apocalypse was junk, haven't ridden it as Firebird but can tell you Apocalypse was a flaming pile of trash
@@AirtimeThrills I’m gonna be honest, Arkansas Twister is pretty rough. The Big Bad John, on the other hand, is actually pretty good. It’s actually half of the River King Mine Train.
Arkansas Twister is a bit rough, but boring. Firebird is just simply the worst coaster of all time!
Goliath at SFFT was originally at a park in Japan called “Trill Valley” before being relocated to American in 2003
So I guess I technically have a Japan credit
@@tismejaytee 😂
Yeah i totally forgot about that
@@AirtimeThrills Thanks For Responding Mang Its an honor!
Also, thank you for being a youtuber who even though they haven't been to the great escape doesn't give it a bad rep. The coaster lineup is bad, but the park has decent theming, some good flats, a lot of family rides, a nice waterpark, and a lodge with a small indoor waterpark
I've been to Great Escape. Comet is amazing and it's inclusion on this list is very appropriate, easily one of the best relocated coasters (although I prefer Skyliner because of the buzbars). That's about my limit for praises I give the park given that 2 coasters weren't operating when I was there and they have the you must have a kid to get the kiddie credit policy (when you're sold 6 credits and only get 3, that stings). That and Steamin Deamon and Canyon Blaster could both go on the worst relocated coasters list, if I were running the park both would be scrapped within a year and replaced with a large B&M that would look amazing in that spot (likely a hyper theamed to an adarondak mountain expedition that used those plots and crossed the street to the parking lot, being that's what could be highly elevated for where it crosses) and an RMC Raptor would replace their boomerang (why hasn't Six Flags done that yet honestly? Albany is a big enough city that it would undoubtably make it's money back in a season from the attendance spike). The park certainly has potential though. If Herschend owned it. The theaming is there from before Six Flags, and as I already stated Comet is amazing.
He left out the part of it being the intense Crystal Beach Cyclone in 1929, and being torn down and rebuilt in 1947 as The Comet.
@@urbex_coasters I am a little biased with this being my home park z canyon blaster isn't that bad. Also, the park would never add two new b&ms, let alone within two years, and by doing so the park would lose their only true family coaster
@@urbex_coasters Great Escape has a ton of unused land, so they would not need to tear down anything to get a large investment. But that will probably never happen.
@@hedgehogcoasters7239 I guess I'm naturally biased against mine trains because I have fairly long legs and mine trains tend to not be designed for people with that build. That being said, Gemini is basically a scaled up mine train and I can handle that just fine. Maybe I exagerated how bad Canyon Blaster is though. I wish they would have embrased it's history with Opryland, perhaps that would result in it having more comfortable trains as there would be demand for it. And retrospectively maybe not but in the moment, Steamin Deamon should have been sent to SFNO in 2003 being that it literally came from a park SFNO paid heavy omage to, would have fit the park nicely. Great Escape has great potential, with Albany being a sizable city and the adarondaks being a popular weekend vacation spot for NYC and Montreal (especially given that it has the lodge). I guess my opinion is skewed by that and it being the closest park to me but still over 2 hours away most of the time because of Albany traffic (ie they've got no competition if they want to go big)
The original Toboggan was a fun ride, riding it when I was around 10 at The Pike in Long Beach California, IIRC. It IS painful if you are a tall adult. I also rode a later version in the mid 70's called Arctic Cat, which was right next to the Comet at Crystal Beach. A fun little coaster, but once or twice was enough.
I figured you'd mention the Vekoma GIB's, Deja Vu was the very first coaster I rode when I visited SFMM for the first time. It was great. A lot of people seem to have wanted other coasters included in this list, but I enjoyed everything you put together here.
You should do a video of coasters that had elements added on after the coaster originally opened such as both demon coasters at both Great Americas that originally opened as standard corkscrew models in 1976, and had loops added in 1980, or Dodudumpa in Japan now with a loop, but not including any RMC coasters
But how many coasters have had a major renovation like that other than the ones you’ve mentioned and Phantom’s Revenge? You could count Crystal Beach Cyclone turning into what’s now Comet at Great Escape but that is a completely different coaster, just using some of the same structure.
@@hangtimechills3461 Thunderbolt at Kennywood was built from part of a 1920s coaster.
Your videos totally deserve more views. I have enjoyed learning so much about coasters!
Z-Force/Flashback used to be a good coaster when it operated in Great America and Over Georgia, what happened to it was that relocating two times turn the coaster rough.
I never heard good things about Z Force from my friends that road it before I moved to Atlanta. In fact when I complained about how bad Ninja was they told me I should be thankful I never rode Z Force if I thought Ninja was bad.
Loved the video! And I looove your channel! Thanks for the great content, keep it up! ☺️
Always love it when you invite other youtubers like Canada to cameo on your videos.
Goliath at SFNE neeeeeeds new trains. That ride would be awesome
That’s my home park and the ride with those trains are so awful. It felt like I was getting hit with a hammer everywhere in my body😭
That ride has more head banging than any SLC.
They never should've removed the original trains.
Great vid Chris! I did not expect blue hawk on the list and I know a lot about over Georgia and I didn’t know that blue hawk was actually a relocated coaster!
Great topic! Great video!
I rode Comet at Crystal Beach several times as a kid.
That was a fantastic park right on the water of Lake Erie.
Another quality content video! 😀👍🏻
I haven't ridden that many relocated coasters, but my home park, Canobie Lake, has three:
- The Dragon kiddie coaster is from Deno's Wonder Wheel Park at Coney Island.
- The Canobie Corkscrew started life as "Chicago Loop" at Old Chicago, an indoor amusement park in Illinois, and was at the Alabama state fairgrounds for a while after that. It's actually the second Arrow corkscrew ever made, which makes it the second modern inverting coaster ever made. That's impressive--unfortunately the ride is both short and rough, not very good at all.
- Most interesting to me: Canobie's classic woodie, the Yankee Cannonball, may be one of the first coasters ever to be relocated, back in the 1930s. It started out as "The Giant Coaster" at a short-lived park in Connecticut. Postcards of it in that location seem to show it having a significantly different layout, a straight out-and-back without the L-shaped bend in the middle and with the lift hill on the other side. I know it also had to be shortened to fit its new location. I don't know if the Yankee Cannonball would deserve to be on this list, but it's a good ride and an unusual story.
Yankee Cannonball is great, I live in Texas now but lived in MA and then NH as a kid. Canobie certainly isn't the biggest park out there but I always loved the classic family park feel it had.
Man you have such original videos it's great
Please rank every freespin
I better see Green Lantern (Don't tell me it's Vipere) on this list.
feat. Airtime Mike
free spin
@Cow of the Sea woosh
@Cow of the Sea no, S&S made a smaller variant of their freespin named "Micro-spin".
Great video! It made me think of a possible future video idea. How does a coaster get relocated? Especially wooden coasters. I find that idea Fascinating. Anyway Thank you again for another quality video AT!
Thank you for the Lakemont shoutout, from a college student in the area! The park did close from 2017-2019 to do some renovations, then it closed again with the pandemic. Thankfully though, they are reopening for the 2021 season, and both Skyliner and Leap the Dips are going to be open as well. I'm actually making a visit this summer between classes, and it's definitely a hidden gem of a park. Not to mention, it's a nice place to stop between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
If you ever do a Pennsylvania coaster trip, it's the smallest park there, but definitely a good one to have between the Hersheypark and Kennywoods of the state.
I wanna find time for it soon for sure
I just wanted to point out something about Lightnin' Loops if no one else already has. It didn't close in 1986. Unfortunately, a woman fell to her death from the ride in 1987. After that happened, the lower loop, which is now Diamondback, stopped operating. However, the upper loop continued to operate until 1992 after modifications were made to it and its train after the accident. I remember riding it very well. And I agree with you that the Arrow shuttle loops continue to remain intense even to this day. Although, they don't compare to how intense The Great American Scream Machine was.
I knew, well before I saw this video, that Phoenix would be #1, a lot of people forget that it’s a relocated coaster.
Green Lantern makes me legitimately miss the Scream Machine... It's incredible that Six Flags replaced it with a more painful ride
Green Lantern at Great Adventure is at least not as bad as Magic Mountains Green Lantern First Flight.
Great video!
I've rode The Phoenix many, many times, and I've been on several other wooden coasters of its type, and absolutely agree that it should be #1.... it really does have REALLY good airtime..... it's definitely in my top 3 favorite coasters to date that I've been on..... can't wait to go back. Knoebel's has also installed another wooden coaster, The Twister, which is, in my opinion, very close to the quality ride of The Phoenix, they also put in a bobsled coaster which is also a really exciting ride.
Nighthawk would be very high up for me, great ride
I love the Skyliner mention. If Roseland Park was still operating, it’d be my home park. It’s about 15 minutes from my house. There’s so many cool tributes to it around town.
That collaboration with Canada was better than Infinity War, man! I can’t wait until you get France or Antarctica to become a guest on your channel!
Let’s go new video! Discord gang on top of the uploads
DISCORD GANG
ayo discord gang
Aye
this is going to be a good video
It's amazing how Chris keeps inventing new ways to rip on flashback 🤣
Little dude getting jumpscared at 1:33 is the best. LOL.
Cool Canada, my favourite RUclipsr
BLAME CANADA
Same
I was genuinely surprised to see Aftershock on here. I really hope it's open when I get back to Silverwood...
Phoenix is such a gem, and I'm so lucky its only 3 hours away from me.
Oh, and Fit your future reference, I learned the correct pronunciation last year From a local. The towns name is pronounced E-lees-burg. I'd been saying it just like you for years.
When I was a kid I would go to Point Pleasant Beach down the Jersey shore and they had a Swiss Toboggan and I loved it. Going up that vertical tube was so cool. I wonder if I would like it now.
Thought of this while you were talking about green lantern. Unpopular opinion: At Cedar point (my home park) I preferred mantis (stand up) to rougarou (floorless). At CP you already have plenty of leg danglers.I think it brought something different.
Literally everyone saying it should have stayed stand up
The best I’ve ridden was Goliath at SFFT (haven’t ridden too many)
Skyliner really is a good fun ride in my opinion. I rode it for the first time on July 2nd.
I wouldn't personally call it rough. It can get a little shaky at the bottom of the first drop or two but nothing overly bad.
As for airtime, both ends of the car have interesting experiences. In the back, the first 2 drops give you some decent air. (Note that on the day I went the back row was closed due to an issue with the restraint) Though to me, in the front, the hill following the first drop gives you some airtime I'd consider almost violent. Both are some pretty fun moments with their own unique flair, and both should really be experienced (It's not like Lakemont actually gets crowds anyways)
So excited to see Phoenix at little old Knoebels, one of my home parks, getting some major love! Pro tip for you Chris: it’s pronounced EEL-lees- burg :)
Good to know, i dont know if ive actually ever heard that pronounced
Is it a good idea to get a fast pass for kings island, I’m going this August and I wanna know if it heps
Love the great escape love here! Comet does indeed have some excellent airtime but hoo boy is it rough otherwise
Another great video! I always enjoyed iron wolf at Six Flags great America. I know that has been relocated as well.
A short male friend of mine got caught on his tiptoes on Iron Wolf when I was in highschool. The sounds he made....
Yikes...I think that they received different sit down trains when they relocated it.
@@joelmoore886 yeah its a floorless now. Ive never ridden the new version.
I have yet to ride Phoenix at Knoebels and I want to and I agree with your ranking for it. Twister in the same park was also relocated too from some park in Texas I think
If you were to do kiddie coasters I would recommend Little Dipper by PTC at Six Flags Great America. It was relocated from Kiddieland in Melrose Park Illinois where it opened in 1950 until 2009. Great America purchased it and it opened in 2010 where it is still operating today. Their mission was to keep the history alive
Goliath actually operated at a defunct Japanese park called Thrill Valley before moving to New Orleans
Comet at great escape was my first coaster credit when I was 4 years old, love that ride!
Firehawk fans arise! RIP Firehawk
Hi I have a question about your raw footage channel. How do I use your footage properly without getting in trouble with youtube and copyright?
You can just download it. I use 4k video downloader, and you wont get in trouble with YT unless i report it
The Comet is one of the greats! Just rode it on opening day last weekend, and it’s running better than ever
I’ve been on one of those toboggan rides at a church fair in California around 2010. I didn’t realize how rare it was. It hurt, a lot.
So after your trip to Lakemont, do you think Skyliner should still be on this list?
We have one of those Swiss tobbogan coasters at our state fair
Shout out to me (the dude with sunglasses next to the dude with the hat) 13:26
good stuff
also did you see the ivue came out with 2 new glasses? thinking of upgrading? i want camera glasses with GOOD AUDIO, so if u get it plz review it!
I may get new ones IF I am allowed to shoot POVs for media days. Otherwise, not gonna bother with em
I love Toboggan, rode it a million times at my local Heart of Illinois Fair when it traveled with the Blue Grass group (memory may be off on groups name)
I saw the video within the minute it was posted, but I had to do homework, so I'm here after 45 mins
Revolution at Blackpool Pleasure Beach is the only shuttle loop still operating outside of America and it is probably the one that runs the most consistent and barely breaks down. BPB takes great care of their flat rides, water rides and rollercoasters very well.
I know Firehawk was just a mention at the beginning, but I miss that ride so much!
Could you do a best and worst coaster colour schemes?
Great Escape is my home park. I just went on Saturday for opening day. Comet was the only good thing about it. The boomerang kept breaking down and none of the other coasters were open. Definitely going to six flags New england next time lol.
Finally found a credit I have that you don't lol. I went to Boardwalk and Baseball in the late 80's or maybe '90. Not counting Thunder and Space Mountain, the Florida Hurricae as it was called at the time and the Double O (rcdb calls it zoomerang but i remember it saying Double O) were the first coasters I ever rode!
Wild one looks amazing
Reminds me of MIGHY CANADIAN MINEBUSTER 🤩
The helix at the end kinda hurts it’s a lot of fun
You left off a great coaster in the Yankee Cannonball. May not have been a top 10, but definitely should have gotten an honorable mention! Plus it was relocated in 1936, which makes it one of the longest operating coasters in the world!
I rode Chang at SFKK & really liked it. How close was Kong/Hangman to making the worst list?
I hear the Canobie Corkscrew stopped operating this year. It was originally the Chicago Loop at the indoor amusement park Old Chicago.
Goliath at Six Flags Fiesta Texas actually operated for 7 years at it's original park from 1995 to 2002, as Gambit at Thrill Valley in Japan.
10. Always happy to see the big 4 relocated woodies get shouted out
9. ouch
8. Thank you. Seriously underrated and another of the "big 4" I was referring to (I'd probably put it higher though, that airtime with buzbars)
7. Haven't ridden it
6. Haven't ridden any like it
5. I love Comet and it's absolutely in that big 4 I referenced. I do prefer Skyliner though because of the restraints.
4. I've ridden Mindbender and I'm excited to have something like it slightly closer.
3. Haven't ridden one but judging by the layout I think you've got it a little high.
2. My #1 floreless coaster, I legit greyed out on that S turn after the loop. That said I would rank it lower, for me relocations need to come with history which Doninator doesn't have much on relocated woodies.
1. The last of the big 4 relocated woodies I haven't ridden, that will change this summer. Given it's reputation, I can agree with this placement.
Is it just me, or does the off ride footage of dominator at geauga lake look like it’s hauling much more than it does at KD?
Could be because its older video, not sure
Can confirm that the Comet @ Great Escape has great airtime! Especially the double down!
Can you rank your favorite spinning coasters
Goliath at SFNE: An absolute train wreck. Haha
I actually love it, honestly. May be rough as hell, but still one of my favorites.
Hello airtime thrills, can you do of which roller coasters six flags would've gotten for each park if there hadn't been a recession in 2008? For example magic mountain would've had a giga already.
Did you miss the fact that Goliath originally was built as Gambit at the now defunct Japanese theme park Thrill Valley and operated from 1995-2002 before going to SFNO?
I still haven’t ridden Diamondback, it’s closed every time I go to Frontier City 😭😂
How about this one that not many people mention....
Ragin' Cajun, an Arrow Dynamics looper, operated from 1978-1983 at Ponchartrain Beach in New Orleans. When the park closed it was relocated to Great Escape as Steamin' Demon in 1984 and is still operating.
I think it's funny I've ridden Lightning Loops at SF Great Adventure in 1981; Scream Machine in Vancouver in 1986 and a clone of "Swiss Toboggan" coaster at Playland in Vancouver in the early 80s after having seen it there for years with the title "Wild Rat" (I've recently seen a picture of Playland in Vancouver in 1974 that had the "Wild Rat". That's the same year I 1st visited Playland at the age of four, I was only old enough to ride the smallest of kiddie rides.) I 1st noticed "Wild Rat" in 1977, but still didn't ride "Coaster" until at least a year after that, and never rode "Wild Rat" until the early 80's, so I overly romanticized it. But when I finally rode it in the early 80's, the "Wild Rat" (Swiss Toboggan) coaster was a one and done for me. I know a woman merely three years younger than me that thinks the Toboggan Coaster was the best thing sliced bread; I guess there's no accounting for taste. Thanks for this video; I had no idea how much I'd relate to it before watching. ;)
Good choice of Phoenix at the top. The Comet was a better coaster in its original configuration on the bank of lake Erie, with buzz bars and the added height effect being next to the lake. It's still a great coaster, but not as good in the new location.
Can you please do ranking all the stand up coasters you have ridden
After watching your Magic Mountain videos, it makes no sense that Six Flags would build a massive flying coaster while they were considering selling or shutting down the park
Six Flags from the late 90’s to 2007 was a pretty stupid company. They spent way too much money they didn’t have, and that led to their bankruptcy.
Woodstock Express at Michigan’s Adventure was relocated from one part of the park to another part of the same park.
the amount of rides stl could put in ninja's plot, we need a railblazer clone
How do you feel about SFNE most likely removing Goliath, and what do you think could replace it?
The comet has amazing airtime I just got 4 back row rides over the weekend
cool video
With six flags new england being my home park, we have yet to ride goliath. I kid you not, it breaks down every time we are in line.
Can't believe Elitches got a shoutout!
I actually rode McGoons at Dogpatch. It is one of my earliest coaster memories. I rode it at Little Amerricka in 2019, and yeah it wasn't great. I was by myself, and I pity anyone that has to ride that with anyone else. Those little hills at the end are the worst part to me!
13:18 Earthquake McGoon's Brain Rattler is a perfect name for an SLC.
Chris, you forgot about steel vengeance!!! The track was relocated from the fabrication facility to Cedar Point so technically its relocated
Kamikaze never operated at diamond beach. It was hunts pier when it opened and had a name change, although everyone still called it hunts pier.
Wait you said you wouldn't do rides that aren't closed but you included alpine bobsleds. Sure its not closed but when is it open.
From Montréal and still waiting to try out this torture device call vipère. Its not at la Ronde yet. Went there 5 time already this year and maybe im blind or som. but couldnt find it. Not even the spot where it will be install. Covid i guess
Comet @ great escape was my 100th coaster back in 2018
Firehawk was one of our favorite rides. Sad to see it go.
That toboggan is indeed a neck snapping experience. Also, La Ronde is in America now? Kidding/semantics I figure you meant the continent not the country.
Dang, Green Lantern was so bad that Chris had to get Canada to be featured in order for it to make the list. That's quite the achievement, to get Canada's permission to be featured!
