thanks, finally someone else realizes just how insane mille's pacing is
The sense of speed is unreal.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah, no one believed me when i said mille had the best pacing and it maintained its speed the best, thanks
Pacing can mean a lot of different things to people- speed or how quickly great elements come after each other. I could see people penalizing Millennium's pacing for the overbanks in the middle of the ride if they just want airtime.
@@CanobieCoaster well then wouldnt the complaint be not enough airtime and not pacing issues
I rode Millie in the back seat. So basically the 2 best seats are the front seat and the back seat.
Back seat for best air time and the front for the most wind and speed.
If I re-ride it, I'm definitely going for front seat
Came here to say orion has gotten much better since its debut last year. The full trains really make a big difference. Helix feels much more instense and the final dip before the brake run offers some STRONG ejector airtime if youre in the back right seat.
I agree Orion is running better this year.
Helix wild in 2022 we bussing out
The airtime on I305 is underrated. Great list! 👍🏼
Thanks! Although I think I may flip Orion and I305 after my recent rides.
I305 is the only Giga I've been on, but I might go on F325 sometime
I was on the last ride of the day and the speed and airtime were insane. I also felt the cable lift was like 20% faster.
they be stapling me on that thing
Of the ones I’ve ridden:
1) Intimidator 305
2) Fury 325
3) Orion
4) Millennium Force
5) Leviathan
6) Superman EFK
Nice list!
given what you have ridden, i would switch fury and i305 but otherwise perfect ranking
congrats on 600 subs, ur one of my favorite channels and easily the most underrated, your reviews are by far the best ive seen and are so helpful, keep it up
Thanks for the kind words!
@@CanobieCoaster i mean it, ive watched every single one of your videos, most probably on more than 1 occasion
It’s a treat to see all of these ranked by someone who’s ridden them all. Thanks!
No problem. I really don't like ranking things I haven't ridden since you don't give the unridden coasters a fair shake.
The four I've ridden ranked:
1. Fury 325
2. Intimidator 305
3. Orion
4. Millennium Force
I find all of these to be world class and they all have a personal score for me of 9.5 or 10 out of 10.
I agree all the chain lift gigas are fantastic rides. I'd give Fury a 10 personally since that coaster is pretty much flawless.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah the first two are 10s for me (number 3/4 overall) and the other two are 9.5 (one at number 10 and MF just outside of top 10).
These coasters usually all find their way atop lists, showing just how much of crowd pleasers they are.
Coaster Daddy thank you I’ve ridden all of the gigas and those are my top four In the same order number 5 is red force and 6 is leviathan 7 is steel dragon 8 is Superman
Orion SMH
Neck and neck for me between Intimidator 305, Fury 325, and Millennium. Great video!
Thanks!
This was a great video. I've only been on the North American ones, 10 rides this year on Orion.
For me:
1. Fury 325
2. Millennium Force
3. Orion
4. Leviathan (closest CF park to my city)
5. Intimidator 305 - Over the shoulder restraints and that big trim hold it back for me. On our most recent 8 rides in 2018 it was really killing the final 2 elements.
The trim on I305 definitely slows it down, but the final few elements still give some good forces.
Great list! I305, MF, and Fury are my number 1, 2, and 3 favorite coasters; they're so good that their positions are pretty much interchangeable depending on how good a ride I get the day I ride them.
It's hard for me to place the others above Fury, but the other two have flipped for me depending on the day/seat.
@@CanobieCoaster I'm a sucker for roller coasters that get me to rethink what a coaster is capable of, which is why I rank I305 so high.
@@CivilianSatellite That definitely is an ambitious ride.
I have heard people talk about Orion's ampersand helix giving them a gray-out, but you say its force less. I cant wait to ride it for myself in a couple weeks and see for myself. Great video!
I could see it being a whole lot more forceful if someone got a trimless ride, but at the speed I experienced the helix, it did nothing for me.
How was it
Well done for 600 subscribers!
Thanks!
@@CanobieCoaster 15 k now
Congrats!
Haven’t ridden a giga yet, but I think Orion or Fury would be my favorite. Nice to see someone rank them that’s actually ridden them all!
I don't know anyone who prefers Orion to Fury thus far.
Canobie Coaster I haven’t heard anyone say that either, but I think one of those two would be my favorite, probably Fury
i rode orion as my first ever big roller coaster and boy was i scared as hell but i loved it
@@acefrost1535 it looks awesome, great job!
Any plans to visit cedar point in the opening days? We’re going tomorrow and I hope it’s not crazy busy.
I don't have any immediate plans to go back to Ohio this year. I may later this year if HoliWood Nights happens.
When I was at Carowinds, Fury had the worst B&M rattle I have ever felt. I had to learn how to manage it to even enjoy the ride at all. Leaning my upper body forward as much as possible helped to not get a headache anymore. Once I figured that out, I was able to appreciate how great the ride is, but I couldn't rank it ahead of the Intamins, which have never given me a headache. For me, i305 is very reridable. It still holds my record of 24 rides in one day, and 14 night rides in the last hour and a half.
5. Superman EFK
4. Leviathan
3. Fury 325
2. Intimidator 305
1. Millennium Force
That's odd you got a rattle on Fury 325. I've never had that issue on it. But I can see how that would dramatically change your experience.
Looking back at this now after 3 years: I've discovered this is how I subscribed, I love that you call Superman at SFMM a Giga and I agree with the order you put these coasters, even if I've not ridden Superman, Red Force or Steel Dragon 2000. I may disagree w where to sit; For me I like Millie in the back due to the long trains for the drop as everything else feels identical to me no matter where I sit. Orion I like the back the best too, Leviathan I can't decide between front and back and Fury 325 is the only Giga coaster I think is clearly best in the front. The list is perfect and the order looks to me to be perfect. I love it.
For a ride to be a strata, it either needs to reach that height on the lift or drop. I don't count Superman because the structural part that goes over 400 feet is not where the train goes.
@@CanobieCoaster I agree 100%. Nobody else classifies Superman at SFMM as a giga but that's what it is, because I agree with you that drop trumps height. So too that's one of the reasons Orion is a giga; as well the high EBRs and especially the fast speeds and the specific chain lift mechanics; it's varying speed change, high top speed lift speed and lack of separated return chain dog exclusive to the three B&M gigas.
Lucky to have ridden all these!
Agreed!
8. Superman
7. Steel Dragon
6. Red Force
5. Millenium Force
4. Intimidator 305
3. Leviathan
2. Orion
1. Fury 325
Nice list!
1: Fury 325
2: Orion
3: Intimidator 305
4: Leviathan
5: Millennium Force
Nice!
The only coaster you forgot is Superman the Escape's twin sister in Australia. Also: I thinks everything on Millennium Force is the same in every row except the 1st drop, which is why I prefer the back car (last two rows) the best seats on that coaster. Having said that: This is the most comprehensive comparison of all the world's Giga coasters that I've ever seen and I think you did it so well I tip my hat to you: You did a fabulous job. In fact: I'm going to subscribe to your channel. Thank you for your fabulous video!
Thanks! And I didn't forget about Tower of Terror. That's why I said all operating giga coasters. I never rode it, but I suspect it would be almost identical to Superman.
@@CanobieCoaster Yeah, especially since both launch backwards. Sorry for quibbling, but I quibble. ;)
So far I've only ridden Millennium Force at Cedar Point and Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion. I personally prefer Millennium Force more because it's not as intense meaning I can ride it more often without getting dizzy or nauseous. I had the chance to ride Superman: Escape from Krypton at Six Flags Magic Mountain but it was closed when they opened and we were too busy riding other coasters when it was open and then it closed again by the time we got in line for it. Don't worry though. I plan to get to it again later in the future.
Superman has been closed for half my visits. I've learned to ride that if I see it open.
Any chance of updating the review of the Giga and Strata coasters video soon?
Not at this time. Hopefully more are built so I have a reason to update it.
Well I have been on 3 and I'm hoping to get to Orion this August and I-305 next year. Not sure when I will get to the 3 international gigas. Here is how I rank them:
8. Superman
7. Steel Dragon 2000
6. Red Force
5. Leviathan
4. Millennium Force
3. Orion
2. Intimidator 305
1. Fury 325
1 and 2 are in one tier. 3,4,and 5 are in the next tier. 6 and maybe 7 are in the next tier. Superman is in my home park and is much worse than any of the others in my mind.
I agree Superman is at the bottom and I can't put Red Force ahead of the lift hill ones. Fury and I305 are fantastic in that they're awesome in any seat. Millennium needs the front row for me or it goes way down.
I've actually been on Orion this year its my favorite Rollercoaster at kings island
Nice!
Steel Dragon 2000 looks like it’s the best one for me it essentially looks like a super magnum that’s smoother.
It's more like super Steel Force.
I'm riding two of these next year, fury and millenium force.
Awesome! Fury is my favorite giga.
My list (haven’t been on red force)
1. Intimidator 305
2. Fury 325
3. Leviathan
4. Millennium Force
5. Steel Dragon 2000
6. Orion
Nice list!
I rode Millennium Force and Orion in back to back days yesterday and the day before. For me, Orion beats out Millennium Force only because airtime is king to me, and I got great air on Orion. Also, the fact that Orion only has a few massive elements as opposed to many smaller ones makes it feel gigantic to me. However, if you’re a speed guy, Millennium Force is a rocket from start to finish. However, Diamonback at King’s Island is still better than both to me. I swear I was almost standing on my first drop today.
Orion definitely beats Millennium Force in airtime.
I go to carowinds all the time because I live in Charlotte North Carolina and fury is the best coaster I have ever been on and I have been to many theme parks. I also rode intimidator 305 and it was very very intense, still very fun though.
I love Fury
@@CanobieCoaster it’s beyond amazing
My Ranking:
1. Fury 325
2. Intimidator 305
3. Leviathan
4. Orion
5. Millennium Force
6. Red Force
7. Steel Dragon 2000
8. Superman Escape From Krypton
Nice!
@@CanobieCoaster Thanks!
THANK YOU FOR GIVING MILLENNIUM FORCE SOME LOVE!!
yeah mille is the GOAT
Millennium Force up front is exceptional. Off my back row ride, it'd be much further down this list.
@@CanobieCoaster Definitely. In the back, the first drop is amazing, but the rest of the ride is meh. In the front, the first drop is not as good but still awesome, but you feel so much faster throughout the rest of the ride and the ride is so much better.
@@CanobieCoaster i actually prefer back row
I know there are people that like Millennium in the back row, but I need the front to fully appreciate that sense of speed.
Finally!
You're welcome!
Out of the three I’ve ridden I’d go with
1. Fury
2. Orion
3. MF
This year I am going to ride Leviathan and i305. Curious how they’ll stack up
Fury is easily my favorite.
Pretty much my rankings except Orion over I305. I know I will get crap over that but I would do it for the re-ride issue. While you can re-ride I305 after a few rides you are feeling drained from the forces. I could ride Orion 20 times in a row or more. Glass smooth and a great pace with elements from Shambala, Leviathan, and (kinda) Fury although Orion is NOT a reverse clef. Anyway nice rankings.
I agree I305 is the least reridable of the gigas, but it's also the most intense so it depends what you like!
Glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. I305 is my least favorite giga. It’s just way too forceful, I like intense rides, but there’s a limit. I don’t like it when a ride is so intense that you blackout. For me, intensity doesn’t determine how good a ride is. But obviously some disagree.
@@Koasterking212 I am 50 I used to love rough and rowdy coasters such as Son of Beast, Mean Streak, Vortex, Screamin, Demon, any wood coaster. Now I like the B&M and other smooth rides even whippy gets me a bit now.
I wonder, what better?? Intimidator at carowinds or the intimidator 305 at kings dominion??
The Kings Dominion one is way better. Faster and more intense.
@@CanobieCoaster I was also wondering, how come they don’t add any corkscrews or loops to the giga coasters??
@@themopdropper6891 this reply is really late, but giga coasters aren't supposed to have inversions. they are all about speed, intensity, and airtime.
Only ridden one of these: fury 325 because it’s my hometown park but I’m visiting cedar point in july
I wish my home park had Fury.
U didnt’t mention about Hyperion in Poland :( did u ride it?
I did. That one is a hyper, which is why it isn't on this list.
@@CanobieCoaster oooo I see! You are right! But what do u think about Hyperion and Zadra? I am from Poland and I am curious how do you find these coasters in comparison to the coasters from USA.
Here are mine
1. Millennium Force
Hope you can get on more!
I've been on 4 giga coasters.
4 Orion
3 Millennium Force
2 Intmidator 305
1 Fury 325, also number 1 overall
Nice!
Finally, someone else who calls Superman a giga. Everyone either calls it a strata or they don't call it anything.
I can't quite call it a strata if it never hits those heights.
@@CanobieCoaster exactly, the height the train goes matters, not the height of the structure
i feel like orion only being around 280 feet doesnt really matter because the drop off the hill is still as good as milli and I305
I agree the height isn't an issue for me.
My problem with red force is that there is no airtime at the top of the tophat
I got airtime when I rode it.
@@CanobieCoaster I got air time going down the spike and some into the final brake run but I got none at the crest of the top hat like most other accelerator models
i cant say for sure as i have yet to ride fury, but i think mille (and I305) would be way better cuz i feel like fury is millennium force without the force, fury has really good pacing except in the helix, and the airtime is probably pretty decent but its lacking the intensity that mille has
Fury 325's first half feels as fast as Millennium Force and the airtime in the second half is way stronger. I305 has the speed of Millennium Force with more intensity. I just don't find I305 as fun as the two ahead of it.
@@CanobieCoaster but i just feel like mille and I305 seem more well rounded than fury
You say “seem” but also you said you’ve never ridden fury. Fury is by far the best I’ve been on. I’ve been on millennium force a couple times and I305.
I have only ridden Orion but a lot of my freinds go on millennium Force.
Both are great.
It's weird that cedar fair gave CP MF and carowinds F 325 but to be fair cedar point already has a strata coaster and a giga along with a bunch of other really good 200 something foot tall coasters while the best carowinds got was intimidator I think carowinds deserved fury
Fury is awesome.
Fury is da best!❤❤
Amazing ride.
I grey out on stunt cars more than intimidator lol
Wow!
My list:
1. Fury 325
2. Intimidator 305
3. Millennium Force
4. Leviathan
Haven’t ridden Orion, Steel Dragon 2000, Red Force or Superman
Nice!
Some gigas are meh, but I must say that not a single giga i rode was bad. They are all well made and fun, with some better than others.
Outside of Superman, I've really enjoyed every giga I've ridden.
Canobie Coaster yea, superman is, as you described perfectly, a one trick pony. But I remembered enjoying it and totally get why some would not enjoy it.
lol in nl2 it shows that I305 doesnt have any laterals yet u rave about its laterals
Those snappy transitions throw me to the side so I count those as laterals.
@@CanobieCoaster i guess it would be considered whip cuz in nl2 it shows that those transitions on I305 do not exert laterals
This Friday I’m riding intimidator 305
Enjoy!
Thanks
Of the ones I've rode. 1.) I-305
I305 is definitely one of the best.
Id probably rank it like this (not including the Superman one)
1. Fury 325
2. Intimidator 305
3. Millennium Force
4. Orion
5. Red Force
6. Leviathan
7. Steel Dragon 2000
Nice list!
@@CanobieCoaster thanks man
Some unique opinions, Millie over i305, and Steel Dragon over Red Force
I know plenty of enthusiasts who prefer those rides as well, but they're all great rides.
Millennium force just does do it for me. The view is great against the water, but the ride isn't very intense or have any interesting qualities other than it's big
It's pure fun.
600!!!!!
Wooo!
My rankings:
8: Superman escape from krypton
7: steel dragon 2000
6: red force
5: leviathan
4: Onion
3: Millenium force
2: fury 325
1: intimidator 305
Onion ...... LOL
I can't quite put a short launch coaster like Red Force over Steel Dragon, but Red Force is definitely more of a rush.
Canobie Coaster understandable
The Superman Tower is 415 feet and I think the train hits 400 feet tall so technically it is a Stratacoaster
When I've ridden it, the ride has never come close to 400 ft. I know it has at points though.
@@CanobieCoaster I'd still classify it as a strata because it does occasionally hit the 400 foot mark
Millennium Force and Orion are the only 2 Giga Coasters that I've ridden. 1. Orion 2. Millennium Force is how I rank them both are great coasters but I enjoy Orion more.
I prefer Millennium Force in the front, but Orion in any row is better than Millennium Force in any other row.
@@CanobieCoaster I've never ridden Millennium Force in the front but I did with Orion and it was too forceful in front for me I prefer to be near the middle.
I’ve only ridden Millennium Force and it is my favorite coaster ever. I’m my opinion it’s better than Steel Vengeance
Nice!
The three I’ve ridden 1. I305 2. Millie 3. Fury
Probably the best 3!
the four i’ve ridden ranked:
4: fury
3: millie
2: intim
1: orion
I'm surprised you have Fury at the bottom.
i dont understand why people call mille "millennium forceless" when it pulls 4.5g;'s and its very sustained, mille might actually have the best positives of any coaster i have ridden so far, sure its not I305 level, but its still very intense, yet people never call the B&M gigas forceless when i know for a fact that mille is more intense, maybe u might know why people call it forceless
I agree the pullout from the first drop and overbank are pretty intense. I usually start greying out there. I think people just call it that since they're disappointed it didn't have the crazy ejector airtime of Superman or Expedition GeForce.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah agreed, i also find that turn after the first overbank and the 3rd overbank to have pretty good forces as well
Ik it’s an old comment but it’s pretty simple. 1 it dosent have good airtime besides the first drop and 2 it’s lack of elements and boring turn arounds gives it the rightful title forceless. The B&Ms pull so many different kinds of forces which millennium forceless has some positive g’s. I really don’t understand the fascination of the most overated ride in my opinion
Out of the gigas I’ve ridden:
1. Fury 325
2. Orion
3. Millennium Force
4. Leviathan
5. Intimidator 305 (sorry not sorry)
Intimidator 305 definitely isn't everyone's cup of tea.
Canobie Coaster I don’t hate it, but it’s too much for me.
My list #1 fury 325
#2 leviathan
#3 I305
#4 Orion
#5 MF
#6 steel dragon 2000
Nice!
I only rode i 305. I got like 4 more to go
Nice!
I305 reigns supreme for me
Why?
It's definitely the most intense.
I don’t really consider shuttle coasters hypers, giga, or stratas.
I just go off the height to avoid discriminating.
steel dragon is my only
Fun ride!
1) Fury
2) I305
3) Millennium
4) Orion
5) Leviathan
6) Superman
Nice list!
I305
Fury
Orion
Leviathan
Millennium Force
SD2000
Red Force
Superman
I don't think anyone has put Superman higher than the bottom.
@@CanobieCoaster rightfully so. Lol
Orion is a hyper 🙀
I consider it a giga since the drop is 300 ft.
Fury 325 needs some true giga competition lol, Millenium Force is too plain, and Intimidator too agressive, and Orion was such a let down
I love all of them though.
I think milk is 1. but everything else is on point
To each their own!
Millennium force should have been 4 and Orion 3... Its a little better if ngl
I love Millennium too much in the front seat to do that.
@@CanobieCoaster Yeah I get that I have only been to cedar point once so I didn't get the best ride.. (Back seat TvT)
1. Millennium Force
2. I305
3. Fury
4. Leviathan
5. Superman
Nice list!
exactly the same for me
Superman is exactly where it belongs lol
I don’t even consider it a giga, since it isn’t a complete circuit.
By my definition of a giga, it technically needed to be on this list.
Idc what anyone says, SEFK is not a giga, it’s a strata
I count rides as stratas if they either reach heights of 400 or more feet or drop 400 or more feet. Superman hasn't gone that high when I've ridden it.
everybody knows Orion is a strata
Lol
I don't understand the hate towards millennium, sometimes called "force less". I swear on some of those overbanks you pull some good positive Gs , am I crazy for saying that??!! It's not all about airtime!
I agree that first overbank usually has me starting to greyout.
orion is not better than leviathan jeeeeeez... orion sucks.
I like both, but I prefer Orion.
@Ardell DuPaty 😂
