I think the interesting thing when considering the best state for coasters is if you also consider the nearby states. If you only include coasters in the actual state, I agree California is one. But if you consider the rides in nearby states as well, I think Pennsylvania runs away with this considering you're within 2-3 hours of New England, New Jersey, New York, Virginia, Maryland, and Ohio.
I went there for vacation and we definitely spent several thousand dollars just for a week there. However the place is beautiful and has so much to do. I really hope to go to San Diego again
I was born and raised in Indiana. Can confirm you're not missing much..lol. But the coaster lineup between Holiday World and Indiana Beach is truly unique and awesome!
@@StamfordBridge Yes! I'm actually from Indianapolis and LIVED at KI and Kentucky Kingdom growing up in the 90s. Only two hour drives each way. I actually didn't go to Holiday World or Indiana Beach until I was an adult at 21.
@@StamfordBridge My dad was a huge coaster nerd like me and focused on CP and KI growing up. I never really knew about Holiday World or IB until I became a teen and didn't go until I drove myself at 21..lol!
@@Onoitsbroko Well, better late than never! As a kid I dreamed of going to parks across the country, but could only go to local parks. Now that I’m older and in a position to make those trips, I’m finally doing what the kid me never could.
Growing up in eastern PA, it never really dawned on me that amusement parks and roller coasters were not common everywhere lol We were so spoiled. Literally had Hershey, Knoebels, Dorney, Great Adventure, and all of the stuff at the shor within like a 2 hour drive. Then there were small parks in-between lol. So spoiled and didn't even know.
I lived the majority of my life in southeastern PA but for ten years lived in Southern California, ie the two top spots in this list are my two homes. So I feel this comment. It’s extremely relatable. It wasn’t until watching coaster videos on RUclips that I realized how lucky I’ve had it. With that said if I’m going to compare the two - for parks in general, it’s California but for coasters specifically it’s a lot closer. Especially when you consider that right now, in PA, I have a roughly equal drive to get to Great Adventure in NJ as I did to get to magic mountain when I lived there
PA native here, I took our coaster collection for granted until I moved out of the state and now I miss em so much. I didn’t realize how lucky I was 😂Definitely agree with your ranking!
As a Floridian, many kudos to placing Florida so high. #4 is a respectable place in my opinion.😎 My favorite coaster as a Floridian is Incredible Hulk.
Ohio here, KI is my home park, but I’m at CP almost as often. Obviously St Ven is my fav coaster, but Maverick, Mystic Timbers, Diamondback, Magnum, Orion, Mil Force, Top Thrill, are fav’s in that order. And of course, a night time Beast ride!
@@YungBoyDev lol sorry man. Figured if I say Ohio, automatically Kings Island (KI) and Cedar Point (CP) are a given. I’ve seen so many abbreviation for Steel Vengeance, Millennium Force, and Top Thrill Dragster. I’m sure CoasterDash understood every word.
THEM TOP 3 CAN GO EITHER WAY. CALIFORNIA HAS QUANTITY, PENNSYLVANIA HAS ALOT OF SMALL PARKS, AND OHIO HAVING JUST KINGS ISLAND AND CEDAR POINT CLEARLY HAS THE BEST QUALITY COASTERS
Cedar point has great coasters but California has them to and then some more.theres slot more to see in California all year long,not just during the Summer.
Good news for West Virginia……especially Logan County, which announced recently that the Chief Logan State Park is investing a few mill building a resort and they are installing a mountain coaster. I literally live 5 miles from the park which means anytime I want to go ride a mountain coaster I can and it’s 5 miles from my house. Can’t wait. So excited.
MN should be lower. Quantity is fine but quality is seriously lacking in quality and uniqueness. Cedar fair needs to sell valleyfair off so some small owner can get weird with it. And best ride at MOA is the log flume.
15:46 Not just people from Ohio, I'm pretty sure I dont know a single GP that lives near me that hasn't heard of Cedar Point and actually a good number of people have been too
Great video! I wish you had the state name written on the screen in the corner while you were talking about it. Also, I would have made the last four PA, OH, FL and then CA. That's just me though. Cheers.
Thank You! I would have done that if it were easy to do but it would’ve made this video harder to produce than it already was. Uploading these every other day means I don’t exactly have time for that type of stuff :)
I think Rhode Island has a kiddie coaster at Atlantic Beach Park in Westerly. The ocean views combined with being able to hang out at a beach bar puts the state above MS, ND, and NE at least, so I'd rank it at 43.
I'm in Ann Arbor. My home park is Cedar Point. Michigan's Adventure is more than twice as far. CP must be closer than MA for the majority of the population of the state.
If I'm correct, the roller coaster in MT used to be at a Drive-in Movie Theater, in Laurel. I don't have any first hand knowledge of the place but from reviews the establishment couldn't even keep their movie projector bulbs working so maybe not the best place to ride a roller coaster....
Totally agree with top 5 states. I am from PA and we have a ridiculous amount of coasters and with Candymonium and Steel Curtain. All we need is for Hershey to RMC Wildcat or Lightning Racers! Thanks for the vid and the love!
California may have more coasters but I think Ohios quality line up buries it. California is stacked with mid tier coasters but besides x2 nothing is uniquely outstanding
Twisted Colossus, Ghostrider, Goldstriker, Xcelerator, Tatsu and Joker are all uniquely outstanding. definitely get out here before forming your own opinion 😉
@@CoasterDash I live in Australia and I travel the world riding coasters. Have been to California many times and I agree those rides you listed are great (Ghostrider is in my top 3 woodies of all time) however I get way more excited when I go to Ohio. California doesn't even have a decent hyper let alone even one giga. How can it be number one? Imo Ohio > California and it's not even close
The odds are stacked against literally every state in this list for California, except for Alaska and Texas. California is 163,696 mi². While states like Ohio clock in only at 44,825 mi², and Pennsylvania only at 46,055 mi². Ohio and Pennsylvania are not even a third as large as California yet their coaster lineups are almost better. Landmass should have been taken into account in the list because part of going to amusement parks is the trip in between each park and how long the trip is. California is literally bigger than Germany by a margin of over 25,000 square miles (about the size of West Virginia). If you look at things proportionally, California is definitely not the best state for coasters.
Fun vid! The big surprise for me was how highly you ranked New York - not that I’m complaining as I love so many of its little parks. California has a clear argument for number one (as do Florida and Ohio), but personally I’d put Pennsylvania at the top.
Good work! I’m biased towards Ohio having the best though! I love kings island and cedar point and their combined coaster lineup outshines all other states in my (biased) opinion! I’m very blessed to be born in Columbus!
Actually california was a suprise to me because even though there’s a lot of parks, the state is really big so They’re spread out a bunch. Also there isn’t a lot outside of California
Like I said with Texas, being spread out is a GOOD THING in my opinion! Yeah, it makes it hard to do everything in one trip, however this shows how diverse the collection is throughout the state
I live in Suburb of Vancouver Canada but I've been to Cedar Point in late May 2018 and Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm in Late November 2019. I've not been to Six Flags Great Adventure New Jersey since August 1981 though, and back then I thought Rolling Thunder sucked even though it was the longest, tallest and fastest coaster I rode until May 21st 2018 at Cedar Point, when I rode Raptor; the 1st coaster I rode to beat Rolling Thunder's stats. Even so: Coaster at Playland was the best coaster I rode until I rode Gatekeeper, Millennium Force, Steel Vengeance and Top Thrill Dragster. (In that chronological order). My favourite four coasters in California I've ridden are Riddler's Revenge, X2; Twisted Colossus and Ghostrider.
Kentucky is my home state and Storm Chaser is my favorite coaster at Kentucky Kingdom. Ohio and Indiana are states I visit often and Thunderbird at Holiday World is my favorite coaster in Indiana and Steel Vengeance at Cedar Point is my favorite coaster in Ohio.
There is a bit of an Asterisk to Colorado as Elitch's is pending a move ever since the land it was sitting on got rezoned. So, some of the coasters might not make the move due to their current situations. The SLC...is an SLC, the boomerang is okay to good (Maybe moving with Elitch's), The Half Pipe and the junior coaster are relatively new in the park's standards (
California desperately needs a true hyper coaster. I know six flags won’t cough up the funds for one, so I’m hoping Cedar Fair does Knotts a solid and finally installs one.
Next is countries by coaster collection? I bet you already did some of the work when doing the best coaster in each country video. Then after that you will surely do all states/cantons/whatever in each country by coaster collection :D
I would swap Pennsylvania and California because another thing you need to consider is surrounding states. California doesn't have much around it, but with Pennsylvania, you have New Jersey and Ohio, which are some of the best states for coasters.
Lifelong PA resident here! I will admit I have been a bit spoiled having a season pass to Hersheypark my entire life lol. That being said, Candymonium is actually my second favorite roller coaster in the state. Phantom’a Revenge is just too good to not edge it out
I am from NY with my favorite coaster the iconic Brooklyn Cyclone. I have not been to Darien Lake as both PA and NJ are closer than Darien Lake from where I’m from can you guess, Yep Brooklyn, NY. Being from there I have been to Jersey and PA Dorney, Hershey and my favorite Great Adventure, by far I loved El Toro I have a soft spot for Nitro, my dad and I went on that together and he died last year. My grandma enjoyed it also! Yes my grandma went on it! I currently live in MN where I have never actually been to Valleyfair but go to MOA a lot and I loved Spongebob the Plunge! But overall Great Adventure has my heart! Especially the safari. My dad had American flags on his car when we drove through it in 2004 and the giraffes ate them off his car. It was a great experience to drive through that safari.
honestly California does have some really, really, good, fun, coasters but the thing is California is insanely expensive (being here for almost my entire life I got to see this place get more and more tricky to live in). Though, if you really love the coasters there and are willing to pay, go ahead! The coasters are amazing, probably not worth the money, but worth the experience for sure!
Though the parks here small lineups, most coasters are really high quality and large scate Seaworld- Kraken, Manta, Mako Busch Gardens- Iron Gwazi, Cheetah Hunt, Sheikra, Kumba, Montu Universal/Islands of Adventure- Hulk, RipRide Rockit (even though it's kinda awful), Velocicoaster, RIP Dueling Dragons And then the uhh yeah ones Hollywood Studios- I think it's probably garbage but Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Fub Spot Parks- White Lightning, Mine Blower Disney Parks- lol no (unless you count Everest and Test Track)
Honestly living in Maine and Vermont aren't really too bad for coaster enthusiasts because there's 3 major parks that aren't too far away (Lake Compunce, Six Flags NE, and Canobie Lake Park)
Rumbler is on my bucket list solely because Beech Bend will be the third closest park to where my family is moving to (Dollywood and Lake Winnie are slightly closer).
I live in Kansas, but I am so close to worlds of fun that it’s only a 15 minute trip from my house, and the. Silver Dollars City is only a two hour drive so I’m in a good spot.
Thank you. I did not know about Kentucky Kingdom or Beech Bend. I had done a quick search and didn't find any amusement parks in KY. We are leaving the coaster capital CA for KY soon.
I live in northern Kentucky, so I have 2 home parks: Kings Island and Kentucky Kingdom, also parks like Indiana Beach, Holiday World, and Cedar Point being perfect weekend parks, it’s a very good place to live :)
As a Californian, I am proud to say that yes, California isn’t the best state for coasters, but we have the flash, which is the only known track model in the world of that type
Pennsylvanian here! But I travel more to Ohio, New Jersey, and Virginia than to parks in my own home state 😅 my favorite PA coaster is probably Fahrenheit at Hershey, though I’ve heard it’s gotten rough recently so I’d be interested to hear from someone who’s ridden more recently than 2018
I was born in Pennsylvania, I live in Maryland now but I've only been on coasters in Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have only actual coasters in Pennsylvania in my recent trip to Hersheypark. I have to give my favorite coaster to Candymonium. It was a great 1st real coaster. It was very smooth and all out good. But since I only went to Hersheypark during Christmas Candylane, I've only rode around 4 coasters but 6 in total .(in Herhseypark) I am looking foward to a next visit there whenever that may be.
I live in PA and my home park is Dorney park but I have been to knoebels and Hershey park. I have rode all the major roller coasters in the parks and it’s hard to choose the best so my 5 favorites are Sky Rush Storm Runner Phoniex Talen and Steel force
I'm surprised Arnold's Park wasn't mentioned for Iowa. Legend is a cool classic woodie that is surprising smooth. Also Adventureland is getting Dragon Slayer which would also probably boost the state when it opens
@@CoasterDash yeah I've only been there once back in 2018 during a coaster trip I did. Adventureland is so underrated. Love the channel too dude. Would love to chat coasters with ya.
Florida. Mako or Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure depending on the day. :) Florida should be no lower than #2. All our parks are open almost 365 and they're all open right now. Also, we have hands-down the best collection of coaster _attractions_ in the world, Hagrid's, Space, Big Thunder, Expidition Everest, Velocicoaster, Gringott's, Atlantis. eventually Tron & Guardians.
missouri, in my opinion, has the best collection of wooden roller coasters of any state. boss, screamin eagle, american thunder, prowler and outlaw run basically cover all the bases in terms of history, intensity, and uniqueness. i go back and forth between whether missouri or indiana has the best woodie collection but missouri's wooden coasters feel more diverse i think is what makes them edge out indiana for me
Still so lame that my home state of washington has like no good coasters at all which yes was one of my reasons of moving to california 2 years ago lol.the closest and best one close to that state was tremors for me at silverwood theme park in athol idaho.its not even that scary but in certain parts it looks like your heads gonna be chopped off and the first drop is a killer one lol.thanks for all these cool and informative videos.have a great rest of your week🙂.xoxomarianne
Before I watch this, I'm going to predict that my state of WI is going to be pretty low, we don't have many coasters here, really only like 4 big ones, although a couple of them are pretty good or at least unique. Edit: #14?! "Some of you might be surprised I put WI so high..." Yeah, including this Wisconsinite, lol. That is quite a bit higher than I was expecting.
I'm kind of a new enthusiast, but I live in la and sfmm is my local park, but I haven't ridden everything there bc of wait times lol. anyways my favorite ca coaster I've been on so far is twisted colossus
That would be too short and simple for it’s own video, so i’ll do it for you right here! 1) Europe 2) Asia 3) North America 4) South America 5) Oceania 6) Africa this isn’t an exact list (maybe it is, but I wouldn’t count on that)

I live in Orlando, and I’d have to say it’s mako, Montu, kumba, hagrids
Hagrids and Tigris are literally the only two coasters I haven’t been on here
Controversial opinion, I prefer hulk over hagrid’s
I was born in Cali, my mom herself is a coaster enthusiast, and California has the best Pacific Ocean views overall.
I agree California is great, but so god damn expensive. Every year makes this beautiful place harder to live in

My grandma enjoyed it also! Yes my grandma went on it! I currently live in MN where I have never actually been to Valleyfair but go to MOA a lot and I loved Spongebob the Plunge! But overall Great Adventure has my heart! Especially the safari. My dad had American flags on his car when we drove through it in 2004 and the giraffes ate them off his car. It was a great experience to drive through that safari.
thank you so much for the comment. i’m dearly sorry about your loss though 🙏🏻
@@CoasterDash thank u so much
honestly California does have some really, really, good, fun, coasters but the thing is California is insanely expensive (being here for almost my entire life I got to see this place get more and more tricky to live in). Though, if you really love the coasters there and are willing to pay, go ahead! The coasters are amazing, probably not worth the money, but worth the experience for sure!
Though the parks here small lineups, most coasters are really high quality and large scate
Seaworld- Kraken, Manta, Mako
Busch Gardens- Iron Gwazi, Cheetah Hunt, Sheikra, Kumba, Montu
Universal/Islands of Adventure- Hulk, RipRide Rockit (even though it's kinda awful), Velocicoaster, RIP Dueling Dragons
And then the uhh yeah ones
Hollywood Studios- I think it's probably garbage but Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
Fub Spot Parks- White Lightning, Mine Blower
Disney Parks- lol no (unless you count Everest and Test Track)
Honestly living in Maine and Vermont aren't really too bad for coaster enthusiasts because there's 3 major parks that aren't too far away (Lake Compunce, Six Flags NE, and Canobie Lake Park)
Rumbler is on my bucket list solely because Beech Bend will be the third closest park to where my family is moving to (Dollywood and Lake Winnie are slightly closer).
I wish you the best on that move 🙌🏻
I live in Kansas, but I am so close to worlds of fun that it’s only a 15 minute trip from my house, and the. Silver Dollars City is only a two hour drive so I’m in a good spot.
I’m from Kansas. The coaster you put for the state, I have been to.
Thank you. I did not know about Kentucky Kingdom or Beech Bend. I had done a quick search and didn't find any amusement parks in KY. We are leaving the coaster capital CA for KY soon.
I live in northern Kentucky, so I have 2 home parks: Kings Island and Kentucky Kingdom, also parks like Indiana Beach, Holiday World, and Cedar Point being perfect weekend parks, it’s a very good place to live :)
Park wise, that is a *PERFECT* location to be in 😆
VA HERE AND I AGREE
You could totally count Copperhead Strike, Afterburn, and Intimidator as South Carolina coasters.
4:00 That thing actually looks like it has some violent ejector in the back.
I heard it does. It looks pretty fun, too.
thus why it carries WV that high 😉
Dude believe me. It is VICIOUS
As a Californian, I am proud to say that yes, California isn’t the best state for coasters, but we have the flash, which is the only known track model in the world of that type
100th like YEET! Love the lists, probably my favorite type of videos!
thank you so much!
Quality over quantity
Pennsylvanian here! But I travel more to Ohio, New Jersey, and Virginia than to parks in my own home state 😅 my favorite PA coaster is probably Fahrenheit at Hershey, though I’ve heard it’s gotten rough recently so I’d be interested to hear from someone who’s ridden more recently than 2018
I just rode Fahrenheit in the summer of last year. I thought it was *VERY* smooth. I don’t know how people can complain about it being rough.
@@CoasterDash thats what I was thinking! Glad to hear it’s still running great
Nice work as always
thanks man! 🙌🏻
I was born in Pennsylvania, I live in Maryland now but I've only been on coasters in Pennsylvania and Virginia. I have only actual coasters in Pennsylvania in my recent trip to Hersheypark. I have to give my favorite coaster to Candymonium. It was a great 1st real coaster. It was very smooth and all out good. But since I only went to Hersheypark during Christmas Candylane, I've only rode around 4 coasters but 6 in total .(in Herhseypark) I am looking foward to a next visit there whenever that may be.
I mean if ur out of ideas you can rank canadian coasters, there is 61 here
and if ya do, pay tribute to our lost upper clements park
I haven’t ridden many of them so I couldn’t right now. Maybe sometime in the future.
also rip to that park and woodie
@@CoasterDash oh yeah fair,
also I have been on that woodie, its fun but painful as hell, still miss it
I live in PA and my home park is Dorney park but I have been to knoebels and Hershey park. I have rode all the major roller coasters in the parks and it’s hard to choose the best so my 5 favorites are Sky Rush Storm Runner Phoniex Talen and Steel force
I live in Illinois a couple hours east of Six Flags St Louis and a couple hours west of Holiday World in Indiana
pretty solid location to be in for coasters!
I'm surprised Arnold's Park wasn't mentioned for Iowa. Legend is a cool classic woodie that is surprising smooth. Also Adventureland is getting Dragon Slayer which would also probably boost the state when it opens
Yeah, Arnold’s Park is very forgettable. Literally *NO ONE* goes there. Iowa is really making their way up!
@@CoasterDash yeah I've only been there once back in 2018 during a coaster trip I did. Adventureland is so underrated. Love the channel too dude. Would love to chat coasters with ya.
I’m from Ohio and being from Ohio Is pretty lucky for enthusiasts since I only live a couple hours away from 2 of the best parks ever.
6. Pennsylvania 5.Florida 4. New Jersey 3. Texas 2. California 1. Ohio. On my Opinion
I love Kings Island it’s my home park and we are going to cedar point so that will be fun.
Florida. Mako or Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure depending on the day. :)
Florida should be no lower than #2. All our parks are open almost 365 and they're all open right now. Also, we have hands-down the best collection of coaster _attractions_ in the world, Hagrid's, Space, Big Thunder, Expidition Everest, Velocicoaster, Gringott's, Atlantis. eventually Tron & Guardians.
missouri, in my opinion, has the best collection of wooden roller coasters of any state. boss, screamin eagle, american thunder, prowler and outlaw run basically cover all the bases in terms of history, intensity, and uniqueness. i go back and forth between whether missouri or indiana has the best woodie collection but missouri's wooden coasters feel more diverse i think is what makes them edge out indiana for me
I love mr freeze and Batman Batman is in my opinion the smoothest roller coaster ever and mr freeze with the reverse launch is just awesome
i swear missouri has the most wooden coasters of all time
California Really is the best for coasters.
Technically if you look it up Intimidator is actually in SC good video though!
Still so lame that my home state of washington has like no good coasters at all which yes was one of my reasons of moving to california 2 years ago lol.the closest and best one close to that state was tremors for me at silverwood theme park in athol idaho.its not even that scary but in certain parts it looks like your heads gonna be chopped off and the first drop is a killer one lol.thanks for all these cool and informative videos.have a great rest of your week🙂.xoxomarianne
Have a great rest of the week yourself! Thanks for the comment :)
I’m from Indiana and love holiday world, but in our town kings island is much more prominent for some reason
Hawaii has no coasters, i'd think they would have an alpine one for diamondback at least.
the disrespect to SFNE... I know this is a hot take, but Wicked Cyclone is one of the best coasters hands down.
3:56 looks like it's on the verge of collapse
Before I watch this, I'm going to predict that my state of WI is going to be pretty low, we don't have many coasters here, really only like 4 big ones, although a couple of them are pretty good or at least unique.
Edit: #14?! "Some of you might be surprised I put WI so high..." Yeah, including this Wisconsinite, lol. That is quite a bit higher than I was expecting.
I'm kind of a new enthusiast, but I live in la and sfmm is my local park, but I haven't ridden everything there bc of wait times lol. anyways my favorite ca coaster I've been on so far is twisted colossus
I am in WI. so obviously hades 360.
Yesss! 🙌🏻
Rank every continent by coaster
That would be too short and simple for it’s own video, so i’ll do it for you right here!
1) Europe
2) Asia
3) North America
4) South America
5) Oceania
6) Africa
this isn’t an exact list (maybe it is, but I wouldn’t count on that)
