Suh dudes! The Coaster Idiots drove 6 hours from New Jersey to visit both Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg in a single day! Both parks are only partially open as part of their winter events, but we needed to ride stuff! WE NEEDED IT!!

I'm a Dominator/Berserker Ride Operator- my supervisor had me on queue at Dominator for the morning and my coworker on Fast Lane. I proceeded to compliment the Zippin Pippin shirt without even RECOGNIZING who was wearing it
Ryan eventually walked up and started taking videos of the ride, and I was looking at him like "....do I know this guy?"
When he circled around to the Fast Lane queue to get more shots (I absolutely got in one of them and ruined it, I'm sure), I looked at my coworker like ???
A few minutes later he walked over to me and I asked him, "was that ElToroRyan?"
He confirmed "oh yeah, that was him," and I proceeded to beat myself up the rest of the day for not saying hi 😭😭
Super glad you visited!! My supervisor and I are big fans of yours- I definitely won't miss the opportunity for a fist bump next time!
I stg I saw Uncle Nate at Busch Tampa and had the same reaction 😂
I’m with you! We saw the Zippin Pippin shirt as he got on the Dominator train before us. And we were like … that’s him right? We didn’t see El Toro Ryan so we thought it was cool but now we know we missed El Toro Ryan, too!!
Bru! Any inside info when grizzly will open?
I walked pass them once leaving flight of fear and was like “omg are you etr” and me and my dad got pictures with him. Literal best day of my life
Fury 325 ride op, got to meet Ryan today!
People don't realize how bad our traffic is in VA until they actually have to experience it lol. That's why we're all speeding, because we're always in traffic lol, great video as always.
This is why god created the expess lane
@Cheese And milk Yup lol, biggest waste of money though, because the construction for it just causes even more traffic.
64 gridlock flashback
Drove through va twice…once on 4th weekend which sucked but another time driving on the bridge to VA beach was brutal
@Noah Kessler That Norfolk tunnel/bridge is a pain too lol
12:18 that subtle Ride of Steel overlay is amazing
0:39 already 39 seconds into the video and he’s bashing airtime thrills 😂 I love the friendship bashing 😂. 🤣
There's a person's laugh during the off ride footage of Dominator's first loop that got me! I remember riding this at Geauga Lake and it brought back the feels! Love that coaster!
I'm on old guy who can't ride roller coasters any more, but if I could I would so like to hang with you. I don't have nearly as many credits as you, but I have one that you'll never have: the Palisades Park Cyclone! The view from the top of that lift hill was the most amazing I've ever seen on any coaster!
Went to Busch Gardens Williamsburg in February. I’m from Ohio so I appreciated being able to ride coasters instead of driving by ki for the sixth time in a week.
It was a fun time. Even though it was 43 degrees so it was just warm enough to ride. I need to get back there in the summer when everything is open and the rides are running warm since alpengeist was running so slow that it was borderline force less. Definitely need to get back there
Glad you made it down to the VA parks, even if it was the pre-season. Always fun to see some love (or criticism as the case may be) for them.
And Cookout, high five for that call. A Cookout opened in my hometown about 10 years ago and everywhere I've lived since then has had one, so I'm spoiled... and fat from their milkshakes.
Lmao not the super man helix overlayed with apollos ☠️
200k subs almost,love both of yalls vids
When the best rides are closed, it’s always good to have major factors as saving graces! Like Alpengeist for instance
Makes the day 1000 times better when there’s a coaster idiots
Dominator is so underrated! The longest floorless b&m looper with essentially the tallest loop in the world! Bigger than hulk’s!
I get it, people don’t consider the looper as fun as a floater hyper…but for what it is, dominator is one of the best of its kind
not trying to troll, but I bought a pair of Vessi at your recommendation and they were NOT waterproof. They even sent me a replacement and those leaked as well. Ended up getting my moneyback. But shoutout to them for sponsoring your video!
The stretch between dc and rva is the bane of my existence
Agreed wholeheartedly. Last time I went down there from Cleveland, I took 81 to 64 specifically to avoid DC traffic. It may have added an hour to my drive, but at least I was moving!
As someone who commutes that stretch of road daily....
Fuck I95.
My two home parks, YAY
Was there on Sunday, weather was crappy, but warmed up enough to get a ton of rides on Twisted Timbers. But, the highlight of the day was the service and food we got at Outpost Cafe. The prime rib.... yes prime rib, was probably the best amusement park meal I've ever had. That area of the park exceeded anything I would ever expect at a Cedar Fair park. BTW, lost track of how many re-rides we were allowed on Twisted Timbers.
Dudeee you should totally do a meetup on opening day of DarKoaster!! That’d be so cool
I second this!
As the one guy coaster enthusiast (The GP are mainly the ones) who is nostalgic for Paramount's King Dominion, it was cool af to see that in the map thing.
Nothing better than coming home to a Coaster Idiots vid after a long day at work, mang.
I like how the video is sponsored by Vessi and the first ad that pops up is for Under Armour Sneakers.
the airtime thrill beef still goes on 😂😂😂
I was at KD that day, didn’t see you guys but when I saw the one train op sign at Twisted Timbers I thought of your channel immediately lmao then I saw you tweet you were there! Universe was trying to tell me you were in the vicinity
Cookout is always a mood! If Kings Dominion plans to stay yea-round long term, then they should pull a Six Flags and buy an extra train for Twister Timbers so it can have continuous 2 train ops
The shade towards volcano 😂😂😂
LOL Dan's shirt is awesome. That little ride is actually a *great* small rollercoaster.
Cookout is fantastic! Every road trip down south needs to include a visit to cookout.
Wow I never in my wildest dreams thought I'd see myself in a Coaster Idiots video when I stumbled on this channel a couple years ago. It was really neat getting to meet you guys briefly while you were waiting for Apollo's Chariot! I didn't even realize you guys were filming while we all stood in line. Keep up the great work with the channel!
Glad ya guys had fun at my local parks! 😁 lol props to all the driving 😮💨
I just visited King's Dominion for the first time this past weekend, and I've been saving this vid to watch afterward. Just wanted to thank you for your videos because your content really pushed me into leaving my comfort zone (I had some bad experiences with coasters as a kid that kept me from wanting to ride them for years) and try out some proper coasters for the first time in decades. Twisted Timbers was the highlight of my day and then some-one of the best experiences ever. I'm totally hooked on coasters now. Thanks for stoking that flame!!!
Great seeing you again mang!
Damn, new Alpie paint job looks lit
Doing this trip in June, with a pit stop at SF america on the way home. Haven’t been to dominion or america and haven’t been to BG since I was like 8
I really like that you used “Rollercoaster” by blink-182 at the beginning.
I’m a local to Virginia Beach, so sad I missed you! I go to that Busch gardens all the time. Love the video! ❤
so amazing to see Peter back in a video!! miss you guys
I was on a VIP tour at BGW, and they said they went for a light color on Alpengeist because a neighborhood was fed up with looking at roller coasters. So they made the colors the same as the sky
Traffic through Fredericksburg almost always sucks. It's why VDOT has separated local and through traffic - IN FREDERICKSBURG of all places.
Plenty of DCers moved all the way down to Stafford, Fredericksburg, and Spotsylvania because they are more affordable, but the infrastructure is way behind. It doesn't help that the HOV/Toll lanes end in Aquia.
15:33 👺ELTORO RYAN...HAPPY BIRTHDAY 👺
I haven't been to Kings Dominion since 1997 or 1998, but I'm so excited to return to that park next month!
I was just at BGW in February and my buddy and I got to ride Alpengeist twice, Verbolten twice, and Apollo's Chariot three times, only had a little downtime on Alpengeist and Verbolten, no more than an hour tho
Glad to see y’all going to my home parks!!!
it’s been a min since i last watched and the wasa dudes was nostalgic
Great video
I do that 95 dc corridor weekly. It’s rough! Love living in Richmond though - traffic down here is nothing
The edits for the brakes are the funniest thing ever I can’t stop laughing 😂
I'm in central New Jersey and can't imagine making that a day trip. Virginia is a couple days at least for me.
great to see more Cook-Out representation on the global stage 🍔
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. At 4:40, was that a fanny pack in the mid-line lockers? When we went in February, they told us that fanny packs had to go in the upcharge lockers even though we knew it could fit in the free ones.
Episode of coaster idiots at my favorite park holy shit today is awesome
You guys were saying there is usually no line at Alpengheist. I did Alpengheist opening year (1996?) on July 4th. waited 2 hrs 40 minutes for a mid train seat but it was worth it! I have been several times since then tho and the front seat is the best seat and have walked on to it many times now.
Dominator was my first floorless! Rode it opening year when it was Batman Knight Flight at six flags Ohio/worlds of adventure/Geauga lake!
Its always a good day when a new coaster idiots drops
😂y’all crack me up! Virginia is crazy traffic especially 81
As a nj to va person, I can't believe you did that in a day. I can barely do that in a weekend without feeling dead afterwards .
People keep complaining about the paint scheme on Alpengeist, but when I look at it now I can't remember it looking any different, like did they even change anything? My memory might just suck but usually paint changes are super jarring.
Coaster Idiots make the world a better place
If it's prime ride time it's about 10 minutes, but if you can do it, why not? You don't have to stay in a hotel! Great video, thanks for posting!
Hey - I appreciate you switching to "serious" instead of "lame" in your intro. Love your videos!
Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thanks for posting this.
I love your content ❤
The nightmare section of I-95 is between Lorton and Occoquan south bound section, the WORST for the longest time. I live in the Prince William County so I can tell you its been like that for at least the last 20 years.
Alpengeist is literally the best coaster in virginia
Cookout lol
I saw Dan at my trip to magic mountain December 2021. It was freezing.
I been there after Carowinds , and I love it a lot. I break record on Drop Tower.
I was at Kings Dominion the entire day with my church friend on the day you stopped by, and my other friend was at Busch Gardens as well on that same day. Unfortunately I never got to see you, but I believe my friend at Busch Gardens did.
I can tell ElToroRyan is a cultured man like me as he is a fan of Cookout, like me.
I almost forgot…….”IN 0.2 MILES GO FRACK YOURSELF” 🥰💀
also ye cookout, I puked there only once :)
Love this channel so much I had to contribute. Reported 👍🏼👍🏼
THEIR BACK LETS GOOOOOO
I did my biggest coaster trip yet, BGT SWO and rn I’m at AK. :D
that was a solid sponsorship piece!
Like hell verbolten was the best crew, I’m so awesome at working alpie, I get shit done
Love the content! Also that blink song slaps 💯
6:35 lmbo
Bro you going to Carowinds soon? Aeronautica Landing opens April 7
Hey Ryan I love ur channel and the video! I just rode gwazi at night yesterday and my god ! Ik I did a theme park marvels but I was wondering if u would do ur true opinion on the masterpiece!
I was at BGT in the meantime. You must be me in an alternate dimension, because you are the cool one.
DAN!!! Good to see you, dude! (And Ryan, of course. But we haven't seen him in a minute! We see you all the time. --Well, not ALL the time. But... oh to hell with it. LIKECOMMENTSUBSCRIBE
EDIT: Pete, too??? It's great to see the band back together!
one train ops!
Let you know bud the trims are sadly necessary for alpengeist to help the structure of the old girl.
I just met Dan at Cedar Point!
BRUH I WAS JUST WATCHING A KINGS DOMINION VLOG FROM YOU
wait, you guys drove all the way from new jersey to VA?
ONETRAINOPS!
Me in the background at 10:31 lol (red and black jacket)
Can you do a problematic roller coaster video on Superman ride of steel in New York. It’s had 5 different owners, changes names constantly. It is currently on 1 train ops despite being wildly popular. And the deaths/accidents cause of employee neglect/rider issues
didn't ride project 305 at KD? arguably the best coaster in the US.
Are you gonna go to Worlds of Fun for their 50th anniversary this year?
Bruh the ride of steel meme killed me
Headed to KD this weekend! Great video as always!
I have the same go-pro mang
one time at busch gardens a man accidentally went inside the ladys bathroom it was crazy
bass boosted coaster idiots theme
also hell yeah cook out
You need to go back to BGW once DarKoaster opens
Lol yes interstate 95 from dc to rva is horrible
Great video..
Am I the only person who found Dominator to be super rough with a headache-inducing rattle? I rode it in 2022.
I’m going to KD and BGW next weekend, now I’m scared about how the ops will be😭
