More coasters doesn't make a park great. Look a CA wonderland with so many coasters but just a few good ones. Thats sfmm. Yes almost 20 coasters but how many are actually good? Busch gardens has higher quality rides and not a bad coaster. Busch gardens wins every time but this homer can't say that any park is better then sfmm. What's there newest coaster? Premier west coast racers compared to Busch gardens iron gwazi. Not even close. Busch gardens actually spends money on there rides and builds quality while six flags buys cheap, cookie cutter bottom of the coasters. No comparison. Quality of quantity. I love visiting both parks but I'm looking forward to going to Busch gardens Tampa way more then sfmm.
You can say the same thing about bgt. A few good coasters and then a bunch of fillers. By the way, sfmm will get another new coaster (Jersey devil clone).
@@davedoesthingsdreaded X2 is the only of its kind in the US, Tatsu is the best flier in the world, Riddlers is the best standup in the world. Full Throttle offers some of the most hangtime in the world, Twisted Colossus is an elite coaster. WCR is a unique multi launch. The weaker coasters such as Batman and Scream are standout coasters at other parks.
BGT is an entire level up in overall quality and experience compared to any Six Flags parks, including their crown jewel SFMM. Yes, SFMM has a lot more coasters and overall a very good lineup. But you're comparing the best SF has to offer to a park that is just part of the Sea World chain. BGW is equally as good as BGT. Sea World parks are much better quality parks over SF and Cedar Fair parks. Only Disney and Universal parks are above Sea World Parks. SDC and Dollywood similar level as a Busch Gardens park. I like all of these and they have something for everyone.
I might be biased since BGT is my home park, but I think BGT is way superior to SFMM. The atmosphere, coaster quality, theming, animals, and food are (imo) superior to Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain has quantity and some stand out coasters but that’s it.
Dedrick how many times have you been to magic mountain ? Because that’s my home park and it is far superior in my opinion even though I have never been to BGT
Morgan Stowell As I said, I have a noticeable bias. But I’m just pointing out some aspects of Busch Gardens I felt went somewhat under appreciated in the video. But you do have a point that I shouldn’t be making some statements like “BGT is way superior to SFMM”
Busch garden may have good quality with their coasters, but magic mountain has equal or greater quality, and significantly higher quality. Though the animals, theming, and food does keep tampa in the running.
As a basketball fan and coaster enthusiast, I really enjoyed this! And I appreciate the bit of research you did for the end as a casual or non-NBA fan. Fun video!
I think sfmm has the edge for coasters, but if we consider the overall park, Busch gardens looks better. PS: I haven’t been on either one so I can’t say much
I actually was a little surprised how close this ended up. You are comparing Six Flags Halo park against one of the two Busch Gardens. BGT held up well in this battle.
I haven't been to SFMM yet but BGT is my all time favorite park. Their coaster lineup is great, especially when Iron Gwazi opens, and the animals never get old. The park theming & atmosphere is top notch and the food is pretty good. Throw in the fact that you can a ticket for 14 days of Seaworld, Aquatica, BGT & a day swimming with dolphins and stingrays at Discovery Cove for $200 & you have a winner.
This was a much more interesting battle then I thought it would be. I personally prefer Busch Gardens Tampa more because of its theming, animal exhibits and the fact that I've just had a better experience there. Although next time s'more appropriate park battle would be Six Flags Magic Mountain against Cedar Point and Busch Gardens Tampa versus Busch Gardens Williamsburg. But I have to disagree with Kumba being better than The Riddler's Revenge. It's a close call but The Riddler's Revenge has no roughness to it at all and the experience of standing up is much more exciting. Also, what's wrong with Scream? Besides that it was built over a parking lot, I can't think of anything wrong with it.
Without Watching I would say Busch Gardens, SFMM really only wins in coasters going coaster by coaster also only helps Busch Gardens outside of the sheer numbers MM has that was real close and prob accurate to the real game
X2 and Sheikra have so much in common omg! Almost vertical drops, 200+ feet, red, wing seating, sheikra has a splashdown and x2 has a broken fire effect
When I went to Busch Gardens Tampa back in Febuary, I was shocked. I knew it was a zoo/amusement park hybrid, but I didn't realise they had animals walking around all over the place. As someone who the nearest "local" analogue would be Granby Zoo or Park Safari, it was certainly a surprise.
I was wondering how you were gonna do this video, but you executed it really well. Also they should swap the trains around on scream and riddlers #screamistrash
@@AirtimeThrills Knott’s would probably be the Clippers tbh. Solid in their own right, but Magic Mountain, like the Lakers, is an iconic, historic tour de force in the theme park world.
@@AirtimeThrills So, BGTB and SWO have really stepped up their F&B game in the past couple of years at festival time. On par with Disney in most ways, and better value.
Haven't been to a park outside of so cal yet. Can't wait to hit Florida in a couple years. Plus, the last time I was at Magic Mountain, Jet Stream was still there. I wanna say mid 2000's. Yikes.
Thanks for the video. I am from Chicago and planned a trip to Orlando in November. I was trying to choose, for one of the days, between parks I know and love (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure) or SeaWorld. I chose Universal. I will be in Busch Gardens Tampa for the first time in 32 years.
I like the fun concept of comparing parks in major sports match-ups, I loved the one you made for the 49ers vs. the Chiefs before the super bowl, I only wish Worlds of Fun (my home park) had something new to offer besides just revamping all of its flat rides.
This was a fun video! Bgt is my home park i actually build stuff for it kind of regularly so kind of disappointed to see it loose. But would of also loved to see the same video for the stanley cup since tampa just won against dallas
i depends what you want to go for BGT has theme and good coasters but magic has not as much theme and has any coaster you like instead of a real spinning coaster not 4D
Great video! I think I'd pick Magic Mountain because of Twisted Colossus, X2, and Tatsu and all the other coasters it has. Miami Heat had no shot of winning and putting a stop to LeBron getting his 4th NBA championship.
I watch the NBA, honestly this matchup is going to be so good, best on in years!! Miami were ok in the regular season but turned it on in the playoffs, so idk who is gonna win it
Park appearance definitely goes to Busch Gardens. You really get immersed into the African theme there. Magic Mountain wins with their coaster lineup and the few flat rides they have. I did notice Busch Gardens had virtually no flat rides when I went. To me, Busch Gardens wins the RMC battle with Iron Gwazi. Twisted Colossus is great when it’s dueling, but it almost never duels anymore. Iron Gwazi has the height, speed, and insane elements that push it over the top for me. Park food definitely goes to Busch Gardens for me as well. They have more variety and better quality.
BGT is one of the most underrated parks ever. you cant go to Florida without going to Busch gardens. Magic Mountain got the fair win even though Busch gardens is my home park.
Going Monday Wednesday Friday this week!
Great
Is Sunday included?
@@Donald38 nope
Nice! 3 Videos!
Absolutely exquisite Chris
Busch Gardens Tampa definitely seems to be higher quality, but it just doesn’t have the amount of coasters to compare to Six Flags Magic Mountain
That's the conclusion of this video yeah, basically they're both amazing, just different in what you want to look for

I think the theming should have gotten more points, as well as park atmosphere for BGT
hey look it’s RoPlayz from discord
@@vari.x2522 what : O
YES!!
I thought Magic Mountain would win by a landslide but Busch Gardens really has a good lineup that kept them in the running!
Yeah I guess it’s just another reason to focus quality over quantity.
Kinda like how the NBA finals themselves ended up lol
Not gonna lie you actually made me laugh when you took a point for magic mountain having scream😂
Scream is 10 times better than any kiddy coaster. It’s really not a bad ride. It’s just a clone with no theme in the parking lot.
But I like scream it’s fun
"They lose a point for Scream"🤣🤣 How do you really feel?!?
How can he say that? That's so stupid.let's see a fair Fight👏🏻💯
When I last rode scream it wasn’t that bad call me crazy 😜
Scream isn’t bad. It’s just that it’s located at a parking lot. The view is horrible.
He literally did everything possible to make Busch gardens Tampa win, and it still lost.
Imagine if the two parks had the same number of coasters. BGT would blow MM out of the water.
Lol
coltonthedrummer ok? Imagine if both parks had the same amount of theming MM would blow BG out of the water lol I don’t get your comment
Are you pointing out the arbitraryness of my scoring system????
@@AirtimeThrills stop being embarrassed that BGT is better than SFMM.
- sincerely MM fanboy
You can’t compare a dive coaster to a 4D
lol
I might be biased since BGT is my home park, but I think BGT is way superior to SFMM. The atmosphere, coaster quality, theming, animals, and food are (imo) superior to Magic Mountain. Magic Mountain has quantity and some stand out coasters but that’s it.

@Dedrick I think what you are saying is completley true; however, I dont agree that the coaster quality is greater.
Six Flags Magic Mountain has good coaster quality and quantity
Busch garden may have good quality with their coasters, but magic mountain has equal or greater quality, and significantly higher quality. Though the animals, theming, and food does keep tampa in the running.
alright we get it LeBron is good and he's probably going to win the finals but we all know Busch Gardens Tampa won
if everybody thinks we're going to lose the finals I would like to at least have this as a Heat fan
give me something...
BGT is an awesome park at least
You should make an Analysis video on velocicoaster
"Any they lose a point for Scream." That's pretty funny.
Two things: Chris with another inventive idea again and doesn’t full throttle have a vertical drop?
So does superman
Yeah
Not quite vertical, but close
Full throttle was a much better matchup with Tigris tho
Makes sense
The perfect crossover video doesn’t exist.
Me: watches this
Go Lakers!
This is Awesome!
You are definitely one if my favorite youtubers.
Amazing video again 🔥
Burst out laughing at the Scream part. Now watching it I agree that it's a better comparison than Knott's. Awesome stuff as always!
Is it just me or has every RUclipsr gotten literally so good. HIGH quality content

How much is this worth *shows goliath*
1/2 a point.
I feel it’s only worth a quarter at most. The lamest hyper coaster in existence.
lol
“So now we are going to talk about B&M Loopers; Kumba vs. Riddler’s Revenge”
Scream: am I a joke to you??
Tbh it really is a joke
Whats a scream?
Brandon Tabibian yes

Yoooo
I'm rooting for the Lakers since the Heat beat my team (the Bucks)
We must have a Troy and Chris collab at some point
gag
GO HEAT
Thanks for all the praise!
Lets go my 2 favorite things basketball and coasters!
X2 and Sheikra have so much in common omg! Almost vertical drops, 200+ feet, red, wing seating, sheikra has a splashdown and x2 has a broken fire effect
I woulda picked Disney. They are polar opposites, but that would make it better
Neither are that close to Miami and BGT is way more comparable to sfmm
Airtime Thrills I think he meant DisneyLand
Nice video, Mr. Airtime.
This made me want to visit BG TB even more than before, but actually made me kinda confirm that MM is just going to be Coaster Credits.
I’m still laughing about X2’s 88.5 degree drop 😂😂😂
Love these videos! Keep doing them pretty please! 😁👍
They should’ve gone 1.5 extra degrees.
When I went to Busch Gardens Tampa back in Febuary, I was shocked. I knew it was a zoo/amusement park hybrid, but I didn't realise they had animals walking around all over the place. As someone who the nearest "local" analogue would be Granby Zoo or Park Safari, it was certainly a surprise.
Really high-quality video
Great Video. I would like you to another one of these with other sports events like with Hockey or Baseball
Pog
Good God Magic Mountain's Batman clone NEEDS a repaint
Its almost 2-tone at this point
For the thrilling flat rides, they have Phoenix a looping ship, but that’s been closed for like 2 years and shows no sign of reopening
I looked into it on their site and didnt even see that
“And they lose a point for scream” 😂
I was wondering how you were gonna do this video, but you executed it really well. Also they should swap the trains around on scream and riddlers #screamistrash
Its a great video Chris Your an absolute producing god
I woulda put Knott’s vs BGT but either way great video
I did think about that since the coaster quantity is similar, but i think the overall quality of these 2 parks is more similar
heh I was just thinking to myself "aren't each respective Disney park closer to the team's stadiums than these choices?"
@@AirtimeThrills Knott’s would probably be the Clippers tbh. Solid in their own right, but Magic Mountain, like the Lakers, is an iconic, historic tour de force in the theme park world.
I love this! Basketball + coasters, two things that I’ve traveled across the world for
Love the updated fps in the intro!
I just had an interesting idea for a coaster. A B&M invert that’s a Batman clone with an extended layout. The name? Batman Beyond.
My basketball fandom and coaster enthusiast RUclips just converged.
Busch Gardens gets 1 point for food and 1 point for beer. And right now, Busch Gardens gets 10 points for being open. 😀
Yeah but they don’t serve free beer anymore.
I left off food since i rarely eat at parks and usually its not significantly different anyway. But yeah 100 points for being open
@@AirtimeThrills So, BGTB and SWO have really stepped up their F&B game in the past couple of years at festival time. On par with Disney in most ways, and better value.

Me: Magic mountain already won
Haven't been to a park outside of so cal yet. Can't wait to hit Florida in a couple years. Plus, the last time I was at Magic Mountain, Jet Stream was still there. I wanna say mid 2000's. Yikes.
I love this style of vid. Could you do more please?
Hey how’s airtime myke doing? Is he still alive in your bacement?
Oh crap i forgot he was down there
This is a cool video idea! Well done
Amazed you didn't do this for the Stanley Cup. Busch Gardens Tampa vs Six Flags over Texas.
Cheetah hunt is a family coaster as well so point to Busch gardens Tampa
Thanks for the video. I am from Chicago and planned a trip to Orlando in November. I was trying to choose, for one of the days, between parks I know and love (Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure) or SeaWorld. I chose Universal. I will be in Busch Gardens Tampa for the first time in 32 years.
I love this style of vid. Could u do more plz?
That was a fun way of looking at things!!
Riddler REVENGE is getting new trains with new restraints
Wait for real?! Do you have proof?
We are VERY lucky that Denver didn't sneak in. Nobody wanted an Elitch Garden/Bush Gardens matchup.
Nah, do that and add Tivoli Gardens as well.
Or have Denver replace Tampa and get Denver the Last Dinosaur.
Or New England vs magic mountain lmao
I’d argue Scream vs Kumba is a better matchup than Riddler vs Kumba
Lol you got the prediction right😂good video
i mess with this video idea heavy :o
Suggestion- West Coast Racers: White Vs Yellow
I like the fun concept of comparing parks in major sports match-ups, I loved the one you made for the 49ers vs. the Chiefs before the super bowl, I only wish Worlds of Fun (my home park) had something new to offer besides just revamping all of its flat rides.
you know Busch Gardens Tampa is getting an S&S Screaming Swing like Finnegan's Flyer at Busch Gardens Williamsburg right,
I saw that rumor was back in January before all this garbage started
You’re the best theme park RUclipsr
Since the Euro 2020 finals are coming up, have you thought of doing an Italy vs England park/coaster battle?
When he said scream is a fiery piece of trash. I felt that
Should be getting to half of these parks this year...
Love it!! Just got back from bg Tampa. Was supposed to hit magic mountain this spring before COVID hit. Hopefully next spring break!!
This was a fun video! Bgt is my home park i actually build stuff for it kind of regularly so kind of disappointed to see it loose. But would of also loved to see the same video for the stanley cup since tampa just won against dallas
Personally, when it comes to what I like in parks, MM has X2, Tatsu, and Twisted Colossus. Everything else I prefer BGT
i depends what you want to go for BGT has theme and good coasters but magic has not as much theme and has any coaster you like instead of a real spinning coaster not 4D
great comparison! i think food should also be considered though
Awesome video idea! Love it! I'm at the very beginning so I'm wondering if Magic Mountain will get the home field advantage being your home park.
I took your advice about NightHawk and planned a trip to go down there in March.
I thought magic mountain would have a huge lead but won by 0.75 when i thought it would be 10.75-5
Great video! I think I'd pick Magic Mountain because of Twisted Colossus, X2, and Tatsu and all the other coasters it has. Miami Heat had no shot of winning and putting a stop to LeBron getting his 4th NBA championship.
You didn't mention getting stapled this time but I'm still taking a point for you trashing Scream like you did. It's not that bad.
Park battle idea: Valleyfair vs. Six Flags Over Texas (both are the first parks of their chains)
Kinda missed the opportunity to do a Stanley Cup park battle with Tampa and Dallas, didn’t ya...
How about the super bowl?
Worlds of Fun
vs
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom?
What would you opinion this matchup be?
if im not mistaken he did one but it was CGA vs WoF
He may have
When will your top 50 video come out and your least favorite 20
Top 50 in december. Bottom 20...dont know if I'll do this again but maybe
Did you seriously have to release such a great video while I have to do homework.
YESSS I LOVE THIS IDEA
dang you think goliath is some typa family coaster liek a 0.5 lol also thanks alot scream you held magic mountain back
I watch the NBA, honestly this matchup is going to be so good, best on in years!! Miami were ok in the regular season but turned it on in the playoffs, so idk who is gonna win it

Please do one for the world series when that time comes.
Should've done a Stanley Cup finals pick between Six Flags over Texas vs Busch Gardens Tampa (Dallas Stars vs Tampa Bay Lightning).
8:45
😂😂😂
I’m surprised that seasonal events didn’t factor in here, Busch Gardens usually does a better job with those than Six Flags
We gotta have one of these for baseball
BGT is one of the most underrated parks ever. you cant go to Florida without going to Busch gardens. Magic Mountain got the fair win even though Busch gardens is my home park.
