Meanstreak was amazing in the first 2 years it opened and just went downhill really fast from there. if you had a chance to ride it just after it was open you know how good a wooden coaster at that size could be. Steel Vengence is head and shoulders above it though.
@@markvolpe2305 doubt SOB would've been RMC'ed due to the structural problems, but it would've been interesting to see what they would've done with the layout
Roar getting #2 is so affirming to me and my childhood, I miss it so much!! Joker is good for the park and the region, but I miss having a woodie in the park!
I LOVED the Texas Giant! The final run to the brake station was sensational, amazing, awesome, and unforgettable!! I can't wait to see how it rides now that it is converted by RMC. I hope I don't waste a trip in doing so. I also rode the Rattler in San Antonio before profile changes. The first drop was stunning! The snaking way down the top of the first drop was exhilarating! Why they would shorten the first drop is beyond me. The helix after the second drop on the cliff was SO boring! With the makeover, I hope this has changed as well. I have ridden many (And I do mean many) wooden coasters before and after their reprofiling. The original "Dippers" on the West Coast, for example, were awesome with the original trains. AWESOME. Why they would change to plastic trains is ludicrous to me. Very uncomfortable and they don't travel the course very well. Heading East, both Twisters from both Elitch Gardens. The original Twister was far better than the second. Steeper drops, tighter course. I preferred the first one. Duplication would have been their best bet. (Wouldn't do well in Las Vegas!) The Giant from Paragon Park. Again, before and after. Why decrease the first drop? Stupidity in the making. Kentucky Kingdom (Near Louisville) Hurler was awesome!!! Great airtime on this woodie! Geauga Lake's Big Dipper. Why they took out the double-down on the 4th hill is insane! They flattened it out and with the slight turn to the left for the turnaround, was the best part with the double-down. Talk about ejector airtime if you rode in the back seat!! The third seat in the first car of the train, airtime on every crest of every hill... A John Miller classic tore away from us!! Intensity beyond measure. At Cedar Point (Dislike as closing Geauga Lake without letting us get photos and the like) they could really boost attendance and ridership on the Blue Streak with just a few minor changes. The flat spots on the third hill before the turnaround could be a double-down. Same with the flat spot right before the brake run. Either a double-down or double-up. Either one would work. I know my coasters and, if you want to know anything, just ask. I've been around many coasters during my 69 years of life. Now, in my 70th year, I hope to traverse more of these great, Historical beauties. Albeit no video, I can write and tell a good story! Thanks for reading and also, your thoughts on the RMC makeovers. (I might just disagree on a few... HaHaaHaaaa!)
I love Twisted Colossus, but I do think that it probably should have been spared as Colossus. Colossus was probably the most iconic wooden coaster in the world, behind the Coney Island Cyclone. Not only was it an icon from an enthusiast perspective, but it was used in so many movies and other media, that even though I had not been to Magic Mountain yet at the time when it was removed, I was still pretty sad when I heard about it. You get a lot of people who still miss it, and there are lots of pieces from the old ride that were preserved in park offices and that were auctioned off. I do kind of resent the fact that I never got to ride Colossus, because I've lived pretty close to Magic Mountain for my whole life, but just never got the chance to go until I became an adult. From what I hear, not only did it have that iconic look, but it was actually a good, smooth ride with decent floater airtime. While its replacement is one of my favorite coasters, I still wonder if they made the right call.
The cyclone at SFNE wasn’t that bad actually. I thought it was pretty solid! But the thing is I only rode it when it got topper track. But it was still a great coaster!
It was incredible in the 80s. Riverside was million times better than six flags. I'm so glad I got to grow up with that place and the race track as a hang out spot. Nothing was better than Saturday nights at the park with the races going on. Seeing them from the top of the colossus ferris wheel. When the races were over everyone would empty into the park to ride the rides sometimes until after midnight. And the concerts they used to have were a blast to. Six flags came in and broke their word by closing the track the first year they owned it to build superman. The last race was during my senior year of high school and it was a sad day. I miss the old riverside every single day.
@@jasonwebb5964 I was talking about Cyclone (talking about "Six Flags shortening the drop"). As a coaster enthusiast I certainly prefer Superman (one of the best coasters I've ridden) to the race track (spectating racing is just boring in my opinion, I'm sorry) but I can understand if the racetrack was part of your childhood why you would miss it.
@@urbex_coasters I was talking about cyclone to. The ride was sick in it's early days before they messed with the drop. I was mentioning that Riverside as a whole was way better than six flags. You didn't have to be a race fan, I'm certainly not, but the atmosphere having something like that there at the park is something six flags can't duplicate The park lost it's uniqueness when six flags came in. There was plenty of more places to put Superman than where it ultimately went.
Did you ever ride the Riverside Cyclone? I think your assessment of it is a bit unfair. The wonky transitions really made the ride. Bill Cobb used the slightly odd/out-of-place transitions to add to the overall experience. Also, the lack of banking/under-banking (and some areas felt as if the track banked outwards) made the last part of the ride quite excellent. Also, the first drop (before it was neutered by Six Flags) was totally out of control and INCREDIBLE (even with the Morgan trains). When I first rode the Riverside Cyclone back in 1998, it was hands-down my favorite roller coaster (outranking the likes of then new/untrimmed Alpengeist)!
@@spentron1 I hadn't seen Canbie Coaster's video - thank you for mentioning it - just watched it! I realize the ride was a very different ride under Six Flags than it was as "Riverside Cyclone." No - no trim brakes on the second half with the Morgan trains and it's finale felt very out-of-control. I miss it very much!
colossus was my top wooden coaster for years and now twisted colossus is my top steel coaster. ngl when i heard it was being closed down i was crushed, and saw the news it was getting a convesion i was like....ugh..why are you doing that to such a classic coaster. but now i know well how worthy tc is. my absolute favorite ride in california
Cyclone at Six Flags NE was the roughest coaster I have ever been on! It was way worse then Mean Streak! It was so rough, that they used to have Carabiners to attach the lap bars to the seats as the severe rattling of the coaster could loosen the lap bars and cause them to come undone during the ride! It was torture!
My parents used to love the Georgia Cyclone, but that was back before it got really rough (and also when Scream Machine was good). I've ridden Twisted Cyclone and it is awesome, some complain about it's short duration but it's so good I don't even care! When you hear "worst RMC" and the "worst" one is still elite that just shows how good they are! Also, #1 would be Lightning Rod if you consider it a pre-RMC (though it was already *built* by RMC, so that may not count). Also, I've ridden Hurler at Carowinds and it's okay, with some mild floater, but an RMC conversion would be awesome
The Hurlers are a good example of how it's hard to find out how the coasters really were for most of their lives. In 2010 they got trim brakes, ending most of the airtime, so any account after that time is not representative of any time before. In 2008, KD's was rough but a lot of fun (to me), while it was RY and Grizzly that caused me hip problems that persisted long after their later trackwork. Recently saw an account it was very smooth when new, problem at KD is it never really added much to the lineup, so even back then it got little praise. When I went to Carowinds in 1998, theirs was by far the best coaster in the park, although for some reason I've never heard much about it. That's probably why it got extensive trackwork (after neutering) while KD's was left to rot for the most part
Joker doesn't get the love it deserves. It's an incredible ride. I haven't been on any other hybrids besides Joker and TwiCol, but I have friends who have, and they have told me it rivals some of the other small scale hybrids. I think people just don't enjoy the uniqueness as much. It's not all just ejector airtime after ejector airtime. It's got some interesting elements that set it apart from other RMCs. Plus, I guess RMC wasn't allowed to deviate from the original structure at all, so what they rid with that is incredible.
I was actually impressed by Georgia cyclones layout. It weaved under the track a lot so it made the ride seem longer than it was. But man was it rough. I literally have never sprung my back worse on any coaster than Georgia cyclone, so I’m thankful it got rmc’ed
I've ridden Robin Hood and while the replacement is cleary a million times better, I still kinda miss Robin Hood. It was rough, sure. However, it wasn't too bad. It was fast paced and had an insane pop of ejector. Too bad I only got to ride it two times 😢
Hearing you say that the KD version was “much, much” worse than the one at Carowinds just blew my mind. First off, I love, LOVE Twisted Timber’s but Hurler at Carowinds was by far the most unpleasant ride in the entire park by far. Even the turnaround out of the station shook me violently!
I was stationed in Atlanta for two years (Fort McPherson) and SFOG was a quick 15 minute drive from work. Sometimes I’d go there after work on a whim. I liked the Georgia Cyclone a lot; I thought it was better than Scream Machine, for sure.
I rode the original Texas Giant in, I think, its second year of operation. So it was fairly smooth and honestly I liked it more than any of the rides in my home state: Ohio. And I obviously love the rides here.
I rode hurler at KD a few times before it closed, and rode the one at Carowinds once a month or two ago. Definitely agree that it was much rougher than the one at Carowinds, and Twisted Timbers is SO much better in every way.
Do you also like falling asleep on a ride because that's also a common theme among these rides. I'm not a wood coaster connoisseur but I know when a wood coaster is a bad wood coaster

@@blitzn00dle50 I agree, there’s rough, and then there’s bone shattering. The biggest sin on any coaster is to be boring. I rode Mean Streak the year it opened and after you got over the sheer size of it, it was boring. I hope you appreciate the absence of caps in my comment. 🤣
@@blitzn00dle50 he’s not wrong tho the community butchers old woodies and overhypes RMCs it’s gotten to the point where people won’t acknowledge other rides to be your number one than an RMC there not always a blessing Twisted Colossus ruined the ride the original was a fan favorite and now it’s never got more than a 5 minute wait because it’s not that good
I’m not mad that SFDK got Joker, I’m just mad that SFA is still stuck with the far worse Roar. The SFA coaster somehow still has its fans, but after my last rides, it’s easily my least favorite in the park, if not one of my least favorites period. It legitimately hurt riding near the back, and seems to get rougher every time I ride despite the attempts to retrack it.
Well it has ptcs still and it’s in the budget park that doesn’t get new rides give me like 10 years and you’ll get RMC Harley Quinn because it wants to be joker but it just still won’t be as good
They need to give the RMC treatment to Hurler at Carowinds, Roar at Six Flags America, Boss at Six Flags St. Louis and Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake. Son of Beast at Kings Island would've been perfect to but I was told by an employee told me that it received too much bad publicity that they were too afraid to chance it. I am not convinced Roar at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom or Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain needed the renovation, I am not sure if Monster at La Ronde or Twister 2 at Elitch Gardens needs if (those are two that get talked a bit) and I don't think Mighty Canadian Minebuster or Wild Beast at Canada's Wonderland need it as they just need the same treatment GCI gave Ghost Rider at Knott's Berry Farm and that's all they'll need. Turning Twisted Twins into Storm Chaser was a great idea but I wish they had kept both tracks instead of just one and part of me wishes they did the same with Iron Gwazi to. Can anyone think of any other examples?
The number one pick has me wanting them to RMC American Eagle at SFGAm. But due to Goliath that may never happen. Personally I think having a dueling RMC and a non-dueling RMC would be fine. And RMC could do some serious magic with American Eagle.
My rankings 1 Robin Hood (never rode this but I heard it was really smooth before it got RMCd) 2 Georgia Cyclone 3 Colossus 4 Roar 5 Twisted Twins (once again I never heard any complaints about this being rough before the end of its life) 6 Wildcat 7 Gwazi (one if the smoothest coasters I've ever ridden actually but the the layout reminds me alot of coaster express) 8 Texas Giant (the layout was actually the best for a dinn coaster imo if you don't count the beast) 9 White Cyclone (coaster express dupe.....) 10 Medusa 1I Hurler (pretty smooth but boring) 12 Rattler 13 Riverside Cyclone (the roughest coaster I've ever ridden) 14 Mean Streak (once again I have to mention coaster express)

well this is my first time seeing ur videos so ur friends idea seems to be working at least a little so far. ill also add Joker is my home RMC and i miss roar due to the fact that the unreliable wooden coaster with a short line became an unreliable hybrid coaster with a long line
I’ve ridden my fair share of coasters 3 of my 90 credits are RMCs one being Twisted Colossus I will say it is probably in my bottom 20 in terms of ranking it is a boring ride spending 2/3 on the lift hill it’s gets better tho when I rode the original it only had one lift hill to go up from the start and 3 laps now it barely has 2 laps and the trains are some of the worst pain I have ever felt

@@blitzn00dle50 I agree, there’s rough, and then there’s bone shattering. The biggest sin on any coaster is to be boring. I rode Mean Streak the year it opened and after you got over the sheer size of it, it was boring. I hope you appreciate the absence of caps in my comment. 🤣
@@blitzn00dle50 he’s not wrong tho the community butchers old woodies and overhypes RMCs it’s gotten to the point where people won’t acknowledge other rides to be your number one than an RMC there not always a blessing Twisted Colossus ruined the ride the original was a fan favorite and now it’s never got more than a 5 minute wait because it’s not that good
Great idea for a list!
I’m not mad that SFDK got Joker, I’m just mad that SFA is still stuck with the far worse Roar.
The SFA coaster somehow still has its fans, but after my last rides, it’s easily my least favorite in the park, if not one of my least favorites period. It legitimately hurt riding near the back, and seems to get rougher every time I ride despite the attempts to retrack it.
Well it has ptcs still and it’s in the budget park that doesn’t get new rides give me like 10 years and you’ll get RMC Harley Quinn because it wants to be joker but it just still won’t be as good
They need to give the RMC treatment to Hurler at Carowinds, Roar at Six Flags America, Boss at Six Flags St. Louis and Predator at Six Flags Darien Lake. Son of Beast at Kings Island would've been perfect to but I was told by an employee told me that it received too much bad publicity that they were too afraid to chance it. I am not convinced Roar at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom or Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain needed the renovation, I am not sure if Monster at La Ronde or Twister 2 at Elitch Gardens needs if (those are two that get talked a bit) and I don't think Mighty Canadian Minebuster or Wild Beast at Canada's Wonderland need it as they just need the same treatment GCI gave Ghost Rider at Knott's Berry Farm and that's all they'll need. Turning Twisted Twins into Storm Chaser was a great idea but I wish they had kept both tracks instead of just one and part of me wishes they did the same with Iron Gwazi to. Can anyone think of any other examples?
The number one pick has me wanting them to RMC American Eagle at SFGAm. But due to Goliath that may never happen. Personally I think having a dueling RMC and a non-dueling RMC would be fine. And RMC could do some serious magic with American Eagle.
My rankings
1 Robin Hood (never rode this but I heard it was really smooth before it got RMCd)
2 Georgia Cyclone
3 Colossus
4 Roar
5 Twisted Twins (once again I never heard any complaints about this being rough before the end of its life)
6 Wildcat
7 Gwazi (one if the smoothest coasters I've ever ridden actually but the the layout reminds me alot of coaster express)
8 Texas Giant (the layout was actually the best for a dinn coaster imo if you don't count the beast)
9 White Cyclone (coaster express dupe.....)
10 Medusa
1I Hurler (pretty smooth but boring)
12 Rattler
13 Riverside Cyclone (the roughest coaster I've ever ridden)
14 Mean Streak (once again I have to mention coaster express)
Looks like some of the better layouts here were by GCI. What if they waited and asked GCI to just retrack them using Titan track?
"it had timberline trains!"
Its actually *Millennium Flyer trains.*
love this sort of video, keep it up!!
Were any of these rides converted due to their immense roughness? I didn't hear you mention how rough these rides were once during this entire video.. 😅
I don't understand how the Rattler was a record breaking wooden coaster with that layout.
Mean Streak At Cedar Point Was the Worst and now steel vengeance

How is Untamed considered the best RMC but SteVe is considered the best coaster?
Mean Streak was an eye sore?!? Come on… Mean Streak sucked for a lot of reasons but it was Damn beautiful to look at and it had some great views out at the end of the peninsula.
I knew this would be a smokeshow &... i loved it
Imagine taking the voyage at holiday world
And rmc’d it
Or eltoro
Oh yeah take a great ride and give it shitty restraints, sounds epic dude
Ya but cant u imaging ho np any airtime the coaster I’ll have
Let's not, and I say that as someone who automatically disqualifies non-prefabricated wooden coasters from the #1 bin of my ranking
No.
Honestly rmc is amazing
Was that RCT3 music?
Rank all the dive loops on coasters you’ve ridden!
Walibi is pronounced wo-li-bee
well this is my first time seeing ur videos so ur friends idea seems to be working at least a little so far. ill also add Joker is my home RMC and i miss roar due to the fact that the unreliable wooden coaster with a short line became an unreliable hybrid coaster with a long line
I do miss roar
How many of those coasters did you ride BEFORE RMC redid them? Probably 0 coasters. Am I correct?
not that I'm any better
I rode mean streak
@@cedarflags It was a rhetorical question! Mean Streak SUCKED, no?
Weird I loved rattler.
Joker is by far the superior coaster over Roar. Roar was meh, slightly better than Grizzly at CGA which is just a sad excuse for a coaster.
Was Roar better than Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk's Giant Dipper?
What about ranking the coasters rmc was subcontracted to construct
Nice video
Cool vid
Can you rank the RMC's?
Something I always wonder is will rmc ever rmc something and it be worst than the original?
No, everything mc touches becomes gold like Midas from Roman mythology
Robin hood was a real pain in the ass like real pain in the ass and everywhere else in your body
Now that RMC exist could that mean son of beast can return as one?
For me that’d be the ideal fit for Vortex’s land. It’d be right by its father and could be a ground up hybrid with a sick custom layout.
I’ve ridden my fair share of coasters 3 of my 90 credits are RMCs one being Twisted Colossus I will say it is probably in my bottom 20 in terms of ranking it is a boring ride spending 2/3 on the lift hill it’s gets better tho when I rode the original it only had one lift hill to go up from the start and 3 laps now it barely has 2 laps and the trains are some of the worst pain I have ever felt
8:25 hakuge
If Untamed is the best RMC in the world, then all RMC's are extremely overhyped lmao
colossus was actually better than the ride built on top of it well partially goliath sucks
Jesus is the only way into Heaven. Ask Him into your life. Cleanse you from all unrighteousness. Make Him your Lord and your Savior. One day, YOU will enter the Kingdom of Heaven.
Riverside Cyclone was a awesome surprising coaster. THEY'VE RUINED IT.
How have they ruined it? Even if it was pretty good, wicked cyclone is a masterpiece start to finish
@@charliegriswold1445 not everyone sees RMCs as good I’ve preferred the rides before RMC multiple times now
I have no clue where you got the information that roar at discovery kingdom had timberliners because no, just no.
I have to be honest, I do not like RMC.
Early
Twisted Timbers > SteVe
ok
You obviously have no idea what you are talking about
@@torrinantifus1 its so much more violent than SteVe
@@torrinantifus1 bro you don’t know what your talking about Steve maybe your favorite ride but it’s not everyone’s I honestly think it’s shit I actually like mean streak better
There’s 13
No shit Sherlock
