@@spankyspork5808 of the ones that ive ridden 1. Big Thunder Mountain Railroad 2. Adventure Express (Would be #1 if thunder mountain was on a bare plot of land) 3. Trailblazer 4. Runaway Mine Train SFGADV 5. Carolina Goldrusher 6. Cedar Creek Mine Ride. The last 3 are all rough and jerky so I could rank them in any order
I'm just glad someone else knows how awesome Speed: The Ride was at the Sahara. I miss it.
I sure hope 1 day someone will purchase it and have Premier Rides refurbish it and reopen it somewhere else. I know it’s very unlikely but one could dream right? Lol
Worth mentioning that Canobie's Corkscrew has been removed from the park map and website, and while it was an older cookie cutter corkscrew I feel it's a huge loss for a park that only has two other reputable coasters (Yankee Cannonball and Untamed).
They probably have something up their sleeve or it was needed because that park tries as hard as they can.
It was also their fastest coaster too, beating untamed by 5 mph
they removed it. its my home park
Carowinds' location has the odd effect that the worst coasters for both North and South Carolina stand right next to each other.
And the line almost perfectly divides the two
@@AirtimeThrillswhat the heck INTIMIDATOR hey but I agree about the vortex
Tornado has a good airtime hill before the turnaround, and Dragon made Tornado look like a B&M
Legit facts
Agreed.
Having ridden most coasters in AZ, I actually think that the E. F. Miler coaster at a park called Schnepf Farms is our best coaster. 4-5 rounds, and every hill gives great airtime and laterals. The front has flojector, the back (the best seat) has the first drop's standing airtime, and standard ejector on every hill, except the small banked hill near the station which gives maybe a small pop of floater. I was baffled the first time I rode it. The coaster also looks nothing like it does on RCDB. Now it is surrounded by trees, and it has some "theming" in the center because the park is run better now than before (from what I heard from visitors). It is a massive sleeper-hit.
I'd like to add the worst coaster is "Family Coaster" at Wildlife World Zoo
@@supremefan I rode it like 3 years ago, and yup, I'd easily have to agree. Every other coaster in the state, even the lateral filled Patriot, which is a kiddie coaster, easily beats out that coaster. It wasn't bad, just not as good as AZ's other coasters. Even the state fair and my county fair's Pinfari Zyclons are better than it.
@@genericnameryan The worst part was the high cost to get into the zoo to find out the rides cost extra...
@@supremefan Yeh that was kinda dumb. At least the zoo was really good from what I remember. I remember having a great time there, and the coaster isn't one of the reasons. I also did the log flume, which was decent from memory, but it's been over 3 years.
I’m in Arizona and have never even heard of this!
As a South Carolinian, I appreciate you giving us the Carowinds coasters of S.C.
Where does Swamp Fox rank among those?
My man claims Nighthawk (the relocated Stealth and worlds first true flying roller coaster) is the worst in the state of SC…😅 Take a quick glance at the trash in Myrtle Beach.
Can confirm: Yankee Cannonball at Canobie Lake is excellent. It was my first non-kiddie coaster and is what made me fall in love with airtime. Canobie Corkscrew perhaps isn’t aging all that well, but it will always have a special place in my heart since it was my first inverting coaster.
The Corkscrew's been closed all season and Canobie just removed it from the park map, which suggests it will never run again.
@@MattMcIrvin they scrapped it
Thrills we need a wife's coaster ranking list!
Haha ok i was thinking about this for 50k but it didnt happen. Maybe at some point
@@AirtimeThrills do it for 100k maybe
@@EZKI332 it’s to Long Sorry Airtime but it’s gonna take a Long time so get going people
In Colorado, I had the pleasure of riding the Lakeside Cyclone. Built in 1940, it still holds up as a fairly decent ride. I've never been to Elitch Gardens, but Cyclone may be good enough to steal the crown from any of their coasters, but I doubt it will defy defiance in it's future demand for Colorado's top coaster.
New Jersey’s prediction:
Best: El Toro
Worst: Hellcat
New York’s prediction:
Best: Ride of Steel
Worst: Mind Eraser
i've always thought a good fit for frontier city would be a spinning wild mouse because it's a small footprint and a good inexpensive family and thrill coaster. plus there's not one anywhere nearby so it would be unique.
I did ride Dragon at Adventureland in Iowa in 2019. On that day, Tornado was worse than Dragon. But my 2020 rides on Tornado actually did give good airtime, and it's now my 2nd favorite in the park over Outlaw. Dragon wasn't bad, but it didn't do much, and it was a little shaky.
Whether or not Tornado is a good ride is very dependant on where you sit.
Dragon is gone now sadly!
Your posts are brilliant. Breathless and fun as the best coasters. Satisfying as the best desserts. Keep it up! Great ideas for each, and boy am I ever taking notes.
As a Denver native it took me many successively more disappointing trips to Elitch's before I came to the realization that the unassuming one trick Sidewinder was actually the best ride they had to offer. So the fact that you picked it out instantly gives you a ton of cred in my book
Glad to see Corkscrew is still alive. It was my first "major" coaster I rode at Knott's the year it opened.
Nice video! Some states don't have legit coasters, but you put in great research. Keep it up!
I agree with the Wisconsin one- since i live in this state and have rode most of the rides- by far my fav rides in the state are Zippin Pippin (Bay Beach) and the Hades 360 (Wisconsin Dells)
Great video as always! I really enjoyed watching! I'm already looking forward to part 2 and my home state of Ohio I'm assuming on Thursday.
Dragon was a classic at Adventureland but you're not missing much. But since you didn't ride it, you'll probably live longer and you won't have to worry about developing CTE after the head trauma you usually receive from it.
When Lost Island opens up, Iowa could have a different best and worst ride... best could potentially be relocated Kanonen, with it's strong launch and whippy layout, and worst could potentially be their 20+ year old relocated SLC from South Africa... it has the vest restraints that Riddler at SFNE has, so maybe it could end up enjoyable tho
I live 20 minutes away from lost island lol
I can't wait until that park opens. Only about nine more months.
@@Mycatsmeow2 Yea!
Another coaster to consider for worst in Maryland: Looping Star at Jolly Roger at the Pier.
Agreed
Rode it for free and can confirm it’s bad reeeeeaaaal bad and I would not pay for it at all
Yea
It’s garbage
Strong airtime on the drop, plus a forceful loop. The rest of the ride doesn't do much, but I didn't find anything bad about it. I didn't get any headbanging by keeping my head forward. I rode it 7x on my visit last month and enjoyed every ride.
I’ve yet to hit up Jolly Rogers, but I’ll keep it in mind.
Wildcat at Frontier City will always have a special place in my heart because my parents rode it at Fairyland and I grew up near KC.
Yeah it was my first rollercoaster ever so I love it, idc what anyone else says haha 🤣 i think its a lot of fun for its small size
I’m excited to see the results.
And I’m hoping for Twisted Colossus
If it’s not Twisted Colossus, it’s probably gonna be X2.
The Dragon at Adventureland was actually decent. Granted the only rides were from my GP days, but still, I got some mild floater (which means I thought it was crazy strong back then, butterflies and all,) off the straight drop and the loops were nicely forceful. But the end helixes made for some headbanging. It's one I still would rate decently, though.
I literally cheered when they started tearing down The Dragon. I grew up in Iowa and loved the ride when I was younger. When I took the last ride I had on it, in 2012, I came off with a bloody ear, a headache, and a swear to never do that again.
The Dragon at Adventureland was a decent ride, but after the first loop, the ride gets pretty rough
The double loops were the only good things about Dragon.
Adventureland being my home park Tornado was pretty decent like 10 years ago rough shape now. Dragon is the roughest steal coaster ive been one. Instant headache however, the postives from the loops where the best part!
Props for doing all the research for this video! I know tracking down footage of some of these coasters is a Parker of its own!
I was happy to see that the mountain coasters were generally easy to get, that's what I was most afraid of going in
I've only been to a few states, but I'll provide my take regardless:
Tennessee:
Best - Lightning Rod
Worst - Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster (It's fun, but way too short for the price. Just ride Smoky Mountain or Rocky Top instead.) (Whistle Punk Chaser if you consider kids rides, Blazing Fury if you consider it not a kids ride.)
Georgia:
Best - Goliath (Twisted Cyclone is also awesome. The new Fun Spot RMC looks like it could be the new #1)
Worst - Great American Scream Machine (Not as rough as some say, but it still hurts. It's also got practically no airtime sadly. Dahlonega Mine Train and Go Bananas came close, but these are all around much more fun, even if they're smaller. If Cheetah were still open, I'd choose it. If including kids rides, Kiddie Coaster at Fun Spot Atlanta.)
Florida:
Best - Mako (Honorable mentions to Manta, Incredible Hulk, and Hagrid's; Florida has some incredible coasters! Iron Gwazi and/or VelociCoaster could take my favorite in the future.)
Worst - Hurricane (It's still fun, but not as good as the others in the state. If considering family coasters, Barnstormer, if you don't call that a kiddie ride. If considering kids rides, Sea Serpent.)
South Carolina:
Best - Intimidator (Copperhead Strike is a close second)
Worst - Nighthawk (DON'T take this the wrong way-- this ride is great! I rank it close to Afterburn even. Something in Family Kingdom looks to be the worst whenever I go there. If including kiddie coasters, Woodstock Express (which also pains me to say). It'd be Kiddy Hawk but it was closed most of the day, or Wilderness Run if you didn't need a kid to ride it (which was frustrating to learn).)
North Carolina:
Best - Fury 325
Worst - Carolina Goldrusher (Another one that I'm sad to choose. Once I ride Ricochet, it'll change (It had a decent line all day). I liked Carolina Cyclone a bit better (I guess) and Vortex actually wasn't that bad.)
You should head to Virginia
@@TheEvocemt523 Yes, would love to visit Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg
I grew up in Idaho, so my love of coasters and theme parks was born there. Timber Terror was my first coaster as a child and the list grew as the park got more and more coasters (just went a week ago, Stunt Pilot was great! Probably taking over my top spot of the park from Aftershock). But I can't ride Corkscrew anymore. It always leaves me with a massive headache. I'm glad you like it though and I'm so excited that you like my homestates little theme park's coasters. I've managed to make to a few more parks while I was in the military and plan to go to even more in the coming years!
Ngl I totally forgot magic mountain was no longer your home park.
Back at college, have my iced coffee, dinner ready, and there's a new Airtime Thrills video to watch. Life is good
The tobbogan at little Amerika used to be at Dog patch USA before it was abandoned then Michigan's Adventure lost a big for the coaster against Little Amerika .
Nice video
Dragon at Adventureland was definitely a staple. It was definitely rough with quite a bit of headbanging in the last decade it was open, however with the small selection of coasters we have in my home state it was definitely one that you could bear the pain to ride. It will be interesting to see how the 2 new coasters that are being built in my hometown will stack up. We have a Vekoma suspended coaster (formerly known as Cobra at Ratunga junction), and an Intamin launch (formerly Kanonen at Liseberg).
I love this. Can’t wait for you to cover Virginia (my home state)!
Got my first ride of Tornado at Adventureland this summer and actually really liked it. Yes- super rough but I actually got some really nice floater.
I can probably guess my home state of Utah's for next time ;)
As a geography fan, I always enjoy these kinds of lists. Although, there now is a permanent coaster in Alaska, Aftershock at the Alaska State Fair. Looking forward to your Alaska vlog sometime!
0:15 Missed chance to say "put to sleep temporarily or permanently" ! Good job on this video.
2:05 this footage is from the pumpkin coaster at kings island, my first coaster. Such a great time
Rode the Wild Mouse at Funtown Splashtown in like 2010...and it rocked me around so hard I was bleeding from...somewhere...I couldn't find the source but it roughed me up for sure so I can back that pick haha
Dragon was smooth for most of its layout, but that slow pre-lift was somehow one of the roughest sections on any coaster.
Thats bizarre
I love some of your one liners
Another fellow Oklahoman! I grew up going to Frontier City, and I hope now that Six Flags is in charge (again) they'll add some more attractions. For such a small regional theme park, it is themed really well and has a decent selection of rides (when they are all running) I made a point to join the advisory board. Hopefully my cries for something like a boomerang or an RMC raptor wont go unheard!
On your golden ticket award you talked about your love of dark rides. I know it's not really on brand but would love to see some vids on that subject
I actually love wildcat as a lake compounce home Parker. It’s so aggressive
Idk, the rides I’ve gotten on it really sucked. Extremely rough, and extremely boring. It barely pulls any forces.
Back in 2017, I actually had a better ride on Wildcat compared to BoulderDash
Wildcat recently for me and the whole train was like a spine busting car accident mixed with an extremely rough and boring layout. I literally brace for impact with the nasty transitions on that ride.
@@willlima1297 I love the bad transitions lol
2:11 Aftershock (a Galaxi clone) got added to the Alaska State Fairgrounds after this video was produced, though it is unknown if it will operate at other events that take place in the Alaska State Fairgrounds than the Alaska State Fair itself.
I just E-Mailed Alaska State Fair this question and it turns out that they only run it during Alaska State Fair when Golden Wheel Amusements brings their traveling rides in because Aftershock is owned by Golden Wheel Amusements.
ive been on that log ride in oregon and i loved it lol
I just love that my home park has 4 coasters on this list. Thanks Carowinds!
I was just at Carowinds last week
@@wrestlingandamusementparkl7789 I'm going back this weekend. Super excited to go back and ride Afterburn for the first time.
Gotta love being split across two states.
@@Ramirez77 I think you'll love it. Afterburn was one of my favorites when I visited.
@@Ramirez77 Awsome. Remember to bring a mask for the inside
Lightning Rod is excellent, although there is a pretty rough patch right at the bottom after the big wave turn. I found it damn near impossible not to end up getting stapled there. Otherwise it's incredible, although I can't compare it to the original state of the ride as I only first rode it this year. I'm so glad Dollywood is my home park, I never would've thought growing up that it would end up getting one of the most sought after credits in the country. On that note, same with Carowinds as a secondary home park a bit farther away. Man what a year to rediscover my love for coasters!
I had the same problem with the roughness/stapling on Lightning Rod when I rode in 2019. Hopefully the retracking takes care of that.
1:28 Rushmore mountain coaster was one of my first roller coasters and I was super scared of it but my dad rode it with me and he was using the brakes almost the whole ride but I remember having fun riding it. Keep in mind I was a little lad and was still scared of roller coasters at the time
2:23 I love this loop, I don't care what anyone says. I actually prefer (Canobie's) Untamed to the Yankee Cannonball, but Untamed is technically a cookie-cutter ride (like Adrenaline Peak/Hydrus except it has an extra helix) while the Cannonball is a unique classic PTC woodie, so I probably shouldn't in some moral sense.
However, for roller coasters in NH one should also consider the dark horse, Roar-O-Saurus at Story Land. Yeah, I suppose you could call it a kiddie coaster, and it's very short, but it's got the wildest airtime in the state. NH also has some alpine coasters, but I have not ridden them.
The worst is indeed the Canobie Corkscrew; however, that coaster may never run again, so it may be necessary to pick something else, which would be hard if you exclude kiddie and family rides. Might be one of the alpine coasters by default.
I came here to see what you said about Silverwood lol-
Personally I'd say Tremors is my favorite, due to it going underground
I haven't gone to Silverwood this year, but I *really* wanna try Stunt Pilot
Bro I live there😂😂 cool to see people that know of silverwood
great day when airtime thrills comes and uploads.
I dunno about others, but I dig all these random ass best/worst/list videos. Entertaining to me! Fiesta is my home park and I hardly go to other parks outside Texas, so its just cool hearing about other coasters
I went to Canobie Lake park in NH a lot growing up, and even though it just has three non-kiddie coasters, I'd vouch for your assumptions here - their Gerstlauer eurofighter is solid, but has pretty bad restraints, while Yankee Canonball has surprisingly great airtime and a super fun first drop. You're spot on with Canobie Corkscrew's reputation - it's an old Arrow looper which runs so rough, my brother once literally got a concussion from really nasty headbanging.
corkscrew got scrapped, its my home park
Nice video! I personally find Canyon Blaster *considerably* better than El Loco though
As the Colorado native here, I'm going with a super unpopular opinion by saying the best roller coaster in the state is Wild Chipmunk at Lakeside, mainly because of the restraints. It has none. Not even a seatbelt. And that makes a pretty standard wild mouse layout surprisingly thrilling.
My best in Colorado is easily Cyclone at Lakeside!! That’s a crazy ride! And a wonderful park.
Nice video. I consider myself a coaster enthusiast and yet, credits mean nothing to me when facing a ride with a bad reputation. Not worth the pain! Heck, I’ve skipped good rides for long lines when there was a better ride to be had. Case in point, Flight of Fear vs a 4th Twisted Timber’s ride just before we left KD. Picked Twisted Timber’s. Skipped Apple Zapple because over both days 45 minutes for that ride was BS. But I have kids so we mini marathoned Great Pumpkin, which is was a nice way to spend time between running over to the other side of the park for that RMC dream 😅
Anyway, this video definitely informed me of several hard skips so thank you!
I always love hearing people talk about Excalibur at Funtown. Such a good coaster. CCI's best imo.
Re ride manhattan express, it got new premier rides skyrocket II trains and I’ve heard it’s actually decent now.
I’ve ridden hundreds of coasters, and Arkansas Twister is fabulous! I rode it in Florida back in the 80’s (before your time), and it was “good” but better now.
In iowa the dragon looper was defiantly the worst they had rock hard weird over the shoulder restraints and the turn into the station tries to tear your head off so happy they got a compact coaster their so they can build a new massive one
Don't know if you'll see this at this point, but as a heads up I have ridden canobie corkscrew in NH and absolutely the worst, everytime I rode I came off with a headache. However, as of now they have permanently shut it down. They have a new coaster though I have not had a chance to ride it yet. Had my first ride on Yankee Cannonball in the rear recently and the rear seat has good air time. My other rides were not in the front and air time was minimal but that rear seat surprised me, and seemed to have aged well for a 90 year old woodie. Untamed is a gerstlauer euro-fighter. Love your videos.
Your opinion on Wild Eagle is totally accurate, but I also spent a day this year tracking down as many of the mountain coasters in PIgeon Forge/Gatlinburg this year as I could and there are some duds that I would rank much lower than Wild Eagle (namely Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster).
Would love to get a ranking or tier list of the notable ones, as I will he traveling there soon.
@@bradylewis9698 1. Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster
2. Ski Mountain Coaster (Ober Gatlinburg)
3. Goat Coaster (Goats on the Roof)
4. Rowdy Bear Coaster (Rowdy Bear Mountain Ridge)
5. Gatlinburg Mountain Coaster
6. Rocky Top Mountain Coaster
Some of these I just got one ride on and that was enough for me. I would definitely recommend night rides for Smoky Mountain and Goat Coaster. Rocky Top advertises itself as the longest but it's because it has way too many brake runs and lifts throughout to ever really pick up speed. Smoky Mountain is absolutely relentless and I went back to re-ride it multiple times on my trip. I'm partial to Ober Gatlinburg because it is so far off the beaten path that it's really kinda lovely and different.
The new single rail mountain coaster at Anakeesta looks incredible. Unfortunately I'm over the weight limit for it and couldn't ride it.
@@627jace627 I had planned to check that one out, but between the massive line that was forming, heavy traffic, and non-existent parking i ended up skipping it.
@@dkvelasco07 thanks for all the info!
Kinda crazy I can claim the credit for Adventureland's former coaster The Dragon, seeing as it was my first coaster I ever rode that had inversions. Tornado was my first adult coaster, and I don't remember it being all that rough and it had decent floater, though it has been a long time (over 10 years) since I went, and I don't doubt it's aged a lot. I remember the Dragon being pretty jerky but also pretty forceful, especially with the turns and the positives on the loops, so take that how you will. I'd probably put The Dragon above Tornado, though if you were to ask me as a kid, I liked Tornado better and marathoned it for a little while since the park was pretty quiet that day.
I'm curious to see how Monster actually is, as I've actually never been on the Gerstlauer Infinity model, and the only Euro-Fighter I've touched is Mystery Mine.
Fun video nonetheless, looking forward to part 2!
6th! love your videos, keep up the great work!!
My home state is Iowa, use to go to Adventureland all the time! The Dragon was definitely the worst coaster. It was short, and the entire ride after the drop was extremely rough. There was a section after the loops where it did a couple turns and it would literally throw you from side to side and your head would bounce off the seat. Bad coaster for sure.
This man says Whistle Punk Chaser > Wild Eagle.
No. He's not counting kiddie or family coasters.
Lovin the Eagles sweatshirt!😂
Holiday Valley in Ellicottville NY has a fun mountain coaster. It was my first of that type and I really want to ride other ones to see what they are like.
For Adventureland: Dragon was, in my opinion, better than Tornado. Tornado is definitely rough. Try Legend at Arnold's Park, it is a nice family style woodie.
RIP canobie corkscrew 1987-2021
Once when I was riding Yankee Cannonball my seat belt came undone and I was freaking out
My picks for best in Illinois and Ohio respectively are Raging Bull and Diamondback, but I just have an obsession with B&M Hypers. Idk what I’d put for the worst, and besides Six Flags Great America and Kings Island I haven’t been to many theme parks with thrill rides but I’ve been to Disneyworld, Universal Studios(both Orlando parks) Indiana Dunes and Mount Olympus when I was pretty young so ig favorites for Florida, Indiana and Wisconsin would be respectively Space Mountain, Cornball Express, and Zeus. Just moved to Vermont so ig I gotta ride the two mountain coasters here and go down to Mass to visit Six Flags New England.
You GOTTA make it out to canobie lake someday! Yankee cannonball is my first real childhood coaster and it’s still a great ride! (And just a charming lil park over all!)
I need to take like a week and hit all the little northeast parks
2:49 Well magic springs is owned by the same company as... Elitch Gardens and Wild Waves, so you know you're in for a darn tootin time 🤗😬
All the coasters were open, but all the flats were closed. The roller coasters weren't the best, but it's a good looking park with a nice atmosphere.
Only have ridden one, but I actually enjoyed the SLC I rode. It might be a smoother one, but its Mind eraser at Darien Lake
Wild cat at frontier city is only cool when riding it at night time... the drops in pure darkness is amazing
Nice Rollo coaster meme with vortex xD
5:51 nice!
You have The Monster on your thumbnail. Iowa represent!
Have you ridden the big apple coaster since the trains were replaced? It has Premier Rides trains now, and it’s not as bad as it used to be. It doesn’t solve the problem of bad transitions but it does solve the head/neck banging problem
I just ordered one of your shirts 😁
The alpine coaster at Wisp Resort in Deep Creek is the best coaster in Maryland. Yes I prefer it to all of Six Flags America's coasters, it's by far the craziest Alpine coaster I've ridden, there's no forced breaking from a computer like you see on some alpine coasters such as the ones in the Pigeon Forge/Gatlinberg area so you can get going a pretty crazy speed. It has legit airtime and I was actually a little scared of getting thrown out with how it tossed me around (knowing it wouldn't). Highly recommend picking up that credit the next time you're in Maryland, it's worth it.
Living in Iowa the dragon was slightly better than the tornado but gave you a headache every time. Worth the beating over the tornado
L-rod is running so good with the steel I-box track, my only complaint is you hit some trims at the top of the lift, kinda a buzz-kill
Love the Petey’s learn-a-long song lmao
Thanks for the dinner reminder
Hot take putting zippin pippin in front of Hades for Wisconsin but I can respect it, the air time is definitely unexpected the first time you ride it.
Strangely, I had nothing but smooth rides on Corkscrew at MA. But my last ride on Wolverine Wildcat tried to break my back.
As somebody who has been to Dixie Landin’ in Louisiana, you left out the infamous ride Xtreme. A woman died after falling from it in 2010, though it’s been active and working ever since. My least favorite at the park is Ragin’ Cajun but that’s personal preference and I find them all enjoyable in their own right without any being inherently bad.
Plz visit the uk we may not have as meny coasters or as good coaster but we do have good ones such as. The smiler/icon/stealth/swarm/wickerman/and the 10 looper and flamingo land
Corkscrew in Idaho gave me a massive splitting headache so much I nearly threw up. I run on the shorter side and it was banging my head really hard from side to side. I think if I had been taller it wouldn't have been so bad, but yeah, those in the 4'8- 5'5 range are in for a tough time.
Wow- Aftershock (then Deja Vu) was my favorite ride when I first went to Six Flags Great America. I was so sad when they took it out
can't wat to see IL, TX, and FL in part 2!
The other coaster in Nevada Chris has ridden that is no longer operating is the Miner Mike at the Adventuredome.
I've gotten Dragon at Adventureland a year before they took it down, and yes it's worse than tornado. It's not quite unbearable but that might be because it's so short that I completely forgot about it, but those helixes are definitely really jank.
I love the toboggan lol
Just went to Elitches for the first time and the SLC was absolutely flying compared to the one at Six Flags: NE. Didn't have much issue with headbanging either so idk if they put some pandemic work into it or what
After my last ride on Roar, I can confirm this thing is far from saving. Feels like the ride is tearing itself apart.
I have to say, I actually really love Timberhawk. The airtime on the first drop in the back is insane, and the rest of the layout is jam packed with airtime, ay least in my experience. However, I am a very short person 😅
Part 2 please
Thursday!
