What Makes a Roller Coaster Perfect?

A near perfect roller coaster is rare, but what makes those elite rides so good? I'll break down some categories that make your "perfect" roller coasters the world class attractions they are. If you could design that perfect amusement park ride, what category would be the most dominate for you- let me know in the comments!

What's your "perfect" coaster?

[@ABCcoasters]

Iron Gwazi

[@Paolo8772]

As I said: there's no such thing, but from the top 2 I've ridden: SteVe; Fury 325; but I've not yet ridden The Voyage or Velocicoaster which I'm guessing may be as good or even better.

[@CausiCoasters]

Steel Vengeance

[@IMWBMEGJCC]

Maverick, no competition.

[@calvinpetty343]

Velocicoaster! I prefer fury to velocicoaster because of the sense of speed, but I don’t think fury is as “perfect” because of some moments in the second half. Velocicoaster just does everything really well.

[@Buzz-yq1je]

Nice to see Iron Rattler getting some love

[@AirtimeProductions]

It deserves so much more attention! Great ride!!

[@sendyboi7028]

In my opinion I love coasters with the most powerful ejector airtime you can find, el toro and skyrush have to be the best in the world in my opinion just based on the power and intensity of the airtime and the intensity of the rest of the ride

[@AirtimeProductions]

I love that! Yes El Toro is one of my favorites too and I can’t wait to ride Skyrush this summer

[@EthanMathews-tb5fr]

A coaster is perfect if it’s named “Iron Gwazi”

[@AirtimeProductions]

For sure! It’s killer and I’m hoping to ride it again tomorrow

[@aoilpe]

Voltron Nevera in Europapark

[@AirtimeProductions]

It looks soo good!! I’d probably agree if I ride it

[@Paolo8772]

There is no such thing as a perfect roller coaster. If there was: there'd be no point in making them.

[@AirtimeProductions]

That’s exactly true! Because everyone has different tastes

[@Paolo8772]

@@AirtimeProductions The fact that everyone has different tastes is true, but coasters are also improving. But the statement can still stand on its own: that no perfect coaster exists; the closest thing to a "perfect coaster" (whatever that is) could always be improved on. "The Beast" was considered to be the "perfect coaster" by many when it opened in 1979.

[@badmoonrising7795]

Perfect can come in many different forms and what is mid to others is god tier to others.

[@kennethgustavison1812]

A perfect ride must be at least 4,000 feet of track; a wooden coaster or steel coaster without inversions must have at least 10 airtime hills and 15 seconds of airtime; and a steel coaster with inversions must have at least 6 various inversions. Anything less and the ride is meh.😉

[@AirtimeProductions]

Those are some pretty solid standards! Those kinda align with what I look for

[@kennethgustavison1812]

@@AirtimeProductions It was a bit of a thoosie joke - exaggeration of the qualities I look for in a solid ride. I will say the new popularity of nonstop twisties and throw-the-riders-out-sideways hills seem to be overdone the last few years. The inverted stall that RMC has popularized on their recent coasters should be used on more steel coasters. It seems to be catching on lately and praised by most riders.

[@AirtimeProductions]

@kennethgustavison1812 oh okay I get it! I agree with the lateral airtime statement and the quick succession of airtime most of the time! You see that on Iron Gwazi but it works well especially with that waveturn

[@calvinpetty343]

Me personally, it must be at least 3 minutes prime ride time, 8000+ track length, 30 different airtime moments and 60 seconds of airtime. The ride must pull at least 6 Gs and at least -2 Gs or else it is boring 🥱. Also any vibration whatsoever and any dead spots whatsoever and any restraint that isn’t B&M clamshells also makes the ride a piece of garbage 🤬🤬🤬

[@wartyfut1234]

iron rattler.

[@AirtimeProductions]

I love that ride so much! Near perfect for me too, which is why it’s ranked high for me

[@TherealWoji]

First

[@AirtimeAxolotl]

Congratulations 🎉

[@calvinpetty343]

wow that’s crazy. 🥱
