- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Giga Coasters are some of the largest Roller Coasters ever built and feature some of the tallest and fastest rides in the world. A Giga coaster has at least a 300ft drop and these can reach speeds in excess of 100 miles per hour. Only 7 of these roller coasters currently exist, but which is best? Find out in this video of the top 7 best Gigacoasters in the world as of 2023
These ride include Fury 325 at Carowinds which recently avoided a potential accident when one of the track supports broke. It is expected to reopen soon however and no one suffered any injuries. These rides are built with safety in mind, so they are not dangerous or unsafe. Also in this video is the original gigacoster, millenium force, as well as leviathan, steel dragon 2000, orion, fury 325, red force and intimidator 305

I couldn't agree more with everything you said about Intimidator 305
Intamin appreciation!
I305 IS KING
I was at king dominion last august to ride i305 and it broke down the whole day then reopened the next. So now it’s my number 2 bucket list coaster lol
Hope you get a chance to ride it sometime
I305 is my third favorite coaster ever with Fury just behind at #5
Fury was my first giga. I305 was my second and milli was my 3rd. Awaiting my forth opponent.
My best orion ride was amazing I had a LOT of room
I LOVE intimidator 305
It's a beast!
I live in Virginia and the fact that the number 1 giga coaster in the world( in his opinion) is just so cool to me
I305 is my number 1, even after riding SteVe! Its insane.
Now I absolutely love I305, in fact, its my number one, but now you got me thinking, would Kings Dominion be a better park if this was never built. I could see either side, but it probably would be a better park and have more success if they built a B&M giga. Idk, this rides still my number one so maybe not.
More successful? Maybe, as i305 is a bit too much for most of the general population, but better? Definitely not!
@@RollercoasterDavid I say this because it basically was a 25 million dollar failure so they didnt get basically any ROI and it let BGW get that far ahead. If they had bought something else instead they might still be competing well with BGW.
@@RealWildWalterHersheypark went through a bit of the same rough patch with Skyrush. Skyrush is a super intense winged, hyper hybrid coaster that was a bit too intense for the general public. So Hersheypark built the more tame floater airtime coaster with Candymonium to compensate.
@@LordMalice6d9 issue is this investment made them go in a coaster drought because of money and it let bgw catch up very quickly. Between the time they built I305 and the time they built Twisted Timbers BGW built Invadr, Tempesto, Verbolten, and started to plan Pantheon while King s Dominion removed Volcano, an innovative standout coaster, Shockwave, a classic standup, and Hurler (albeit, for a better RMC)
Best coaster channel. Can I join you on tour next trip!?
If you can make your way to France next week, Wales the weekend after, and Finland the following week then sure!
@@RollercoasterDavid booo.
I like airtime more then intensity that way I think fury better but it’s my opinion
You should try steel dragon!
I've been on all except for Red Force and Orion. Fury is by far my favorite. No, I305 is not too intense for me, I just like the airtime of Fury 325.
everyone hates on Steel Dragon 2000 but my 3 rides on it in May 2023 were fast and packed full of airtime. I guess in comparison to other traditional gigas it may seem weak but I loved it. That and Hakugei are must rides at Nagashima Spa Land. Hakugei would be my #1 if it had better restraints and operations but I have to give it to Velocicoaster currently!
I guess I can look past the restraints, because hakugei is my all time number 1!
@@RollercoasterDavid Hakugei would be my number one but maybe its just the way I am built but RMC's are super painful on my thighs. Maybe I need to fatten up my legs and re-ride the white whale when I return to japan in April!
Intimidator is an unmatched monster in almost every way. It's got it all as far as I'm concerned, and the only coaster I've ridden that I like better is Maverick.
Funny isn't it, that I305 was designed as a love child between Maverick and Millie... but even with a 300ft drop people still tend to prefer Maverick. Not me though! I'll take that blood draining intensity any day ha
I thought Maverick was a shitty rollercoaster! The restraints are too overwhelming for the car
@@billybob33366 Each to their own! Even with the vest style restraints you get now? Can't say it detracted from the ride for me. I tell you what restraints DO ruin rides for me. B&M vests. HATE them on everything but flyers. It's like they want you to have NO airtime at all, you just get stapled in and it makes fun coasters feel almost forceless
@@robhaley5136 apparently Yukon Striker's vests are the best. I find that they can pinch you on the waist by the end of the ride, G forces and all.
For me i305 is #3 in the park and #7 in virginia - other than the first turn the other turns don't feel too powerful and the whips just feel like airtime hills because of the awful restraints
3:29 brilliant!
Steel what now? 🤫🤣
I was confused for like 2 seconds how Red Force made the list but not Top Thrill Dragster or Kingda Ka. Then I learned how to read! Giga Coaster and NOT Strata Coaster.
I 100% agree with your placing of Leviathan above Millennium Force. I too after riding it this year for the first time, was very underwhelmed by its layout! The height and length and great, but was unimpressed with the overall ride experience. Don't get me started on the queue music!
Best queue music ever!
Thanks for this you have me so pumped for going back on I305 in August! Fingers crossed for Fury 325, but tbh my prediction 2-3 weeks back was Friday 4th August, could we come to fruition that... I think the department for labor is there atm and final checks are being made. Could be this weekend, but, haven't heard anything yet.
lol shots fired with amazing fun hybrid coaster at Cedar Point, Gemini. Gemini and Magnum are so good.
Best hybrid in the park!
1. 1305 2. Millenium force 3. Fury 4. Leviathan 5. Steel dragon 6. I forget the last one
I've ridden Millennium Force, all three B&M "giga" hypers including the two strata coasters Top Thrill Dragster in the back car and and Kingda Ka in both the back the front rows. On the other hand: I've not yet ridden Superman at SFMM, (I know; it's a shuttle coaster but it's a giga, not a strata due to its 328' drop) Steel Dragon 2000, Intimidator 305 or Red Force. I think I'd like Red force better than either of the Strata coasters even if the launch is inferior, due to its drop twisting 90 degrees to the right instead of 270 degrees to the left and granting a better 90 degree drop, but it doesn't compare to a FULL LAYOUT coaster like the other six Giga coasters. BTW Red force's drop is 344'.
Of the four I've ridden it's tough between 4: Leviathan in the front or back car; and 3: Orion in the back right seat; then 2: Millennium Force in the back car (row 17 and 18) and 1: Fury 325 in the front left seat. I really want to ride Intimidator 305 and also Phantom's Revenge, Superman El Escapo, Steel Dragon 2000 and also Hyperion (in the back car in one of the middle non wing seats); the tallest and fastest sub giga coaster in the world! Great video, thanks for posting!
Hyperion is amazing!
Superman at SFMM is not a hyper/giga/strata, as it is not a full circuit coaster. And before anyone asks, yes, coasters with switch tracks count as hyper/giga/strata, as they still perform a full circuit (powder keg, pantheon, presumed future dragster, etc.).
@@schumi246 No, it's just that it's a shuttle coaster so nobody counts it. But many people call it a Strata coaster and they're incorrect since it only has a 328' drop.
Steel Dragon looks like it’s the best one.
It's a great ride, I need to go back to Japan to do it again
Its the only giga I have ridden and I loved it. The park is amazing and full of coasters.. no more hate on Steel Dragon! its amazing!
@@darkwhale-og9ig don't forget the duo of classic Schwarzkopf's too! Nagashima has one of the best overall lineups of any park!
Yeah well steel dragon is the worst one
@@RollercoasterDavid sadly I only had a few hours there so I got 4 rides on Hakugei, 3 on steel dragon, 1 on arashi and 1 on demon drop. I need to spend a full day there and enjoy it all, the park is huge and full of fun things to do! Sorry for the long comment but I also bought the HUGE Hakugei stuffed whale and I am looking at it right now :)
He forgot about the airtime on steal vengeance
Oh it was an intentional troll. Gemini and Magnum are so good though.
These Cedar Point fanboys boutta be MAD 😂😂😂
Shots fired!
I was hoping it'd be top 5 at least haha
We're too busy riding Millennium Force to be mad 🤷♂️
WELL MILLI IS THE ORIGINAL SO 😡😡😡😡 (joke)
I'm from Pittsburgh pa and I admit cedar point is the best park on the planet
I-305 was AMAZING in its opening year. That first turn after the drop was so intense and the speed was relentless. It’s still good now, but not like it was!
I’ve only done Fury and i305 but I agree i305 takes the top spot. It’s just so intense and fast the whole way through and the transitions are WILD. It’s my current number 1 coaster.
rmc hybrids?
Love MF. But that second half really is weak sauce.
It could of been better, but they were exploring new grounds
Intimidator 305 is really intense. I’ve rode it a few times in the past and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart.
I personally think Orion is better than leviathan, Orion has a much better theme and I got more Airtime on Orion, leviathans best feature was the overbank turn (I think that what it’s called. ) and the one on Orion is honestly better because it’s much talller and you get airtime before it
The two are really close in my opinion, it was hard to pick between them
its not taller, but orion is still better
I wonder if we'll ever see any more giga coasters. Discounting Red Force, I wish we had one of these in Europe. The closest thing is the nearly giga-sized Hyperion.
Hyperion and shambhala aren't that far off from giga heights. There were rumours of a new giga going to Knott's berry farm at one point, but I think plans are on hold or have been cancelled
@@RollercoasterDavidthey were fake
Heide park planned on adding a i305 clone but plans where canceled
@@upsidedown_ interesting, I'd never heard that
@@RollercoasterDavid Yeah normally you can look it up, they build desert race instead, so a big downgrade :P
Intimidator 305 best giga? I’ve ridden this dozens of times. This issue is not the intensity. Vest restraints, on the shorter side and particularly the tragic trim breaks 2/3 the way through…nope.
See, I don't actually mind the trim, it makes the hill floater and last longer. It's something different from the elector air on the rest of the ride. Sure, you allow down, but you're getting airtime as you slow.
As someone whose ridden all 5 in North America im hurt you put the Greatest Thrill Ride Ever at 6, it should be 5
My top 7
1) Fury 325
2) Millennium Force
3) Orion
4) Leviathan
5) Steel Dragon 2000
6) Intimidator 305
7) Red Force
I305 gotta be 3 but I respect this list
@@fear7126 It is very intense, it makes your vision black, and it does not have many airtime points, not to mention that at the end of the route there is a trim and it loses a lot of speed, it does not seem like one of the best giga coasters to me.
@@fran0033Did we ride the same ride? I305 had tons of airtime, more than coasters like Maverick, Ghostrider, Maverick, Skyrush, Candymonium, and especially Millennium Force, which I actually love regardless of its forces. Basically every element except the low turns on i305 sent me out of my seat.
Orion isn't a giga. I will fist fight someone if they say otherwise.
Well in terms of giga if you look into wikipedia/internet as long as the ride has 300-399 feet height or drop it's considered a giga
I am so glad somebody finally agrees
well then you would consider a coaster with a 300ft lift hill and a 250ft drop a giga? the drop is what really matters there are plenty of terrain coasters that do the same thing but no one argues that they’re not in that height class idk why orion has this argument
@@newhyperspace43 the answer is yes it has a 300ft lift hill after all here's the thing a 300-399 feet of drop its is a giga, a 300-399 height its is still a giga no matter what with terrain or not.
@@cds1110you all would have been bitching if that really happened😂
I find the B&M gigas a bit boring. I much prefer their hypers with their epic floater. Give me i305 and Millennium over the B&M gigas any day. The sense of speed on the intamins is insane
Front row on the b&ms still feels pretty fast. Fury 325 at night especially.
Top 7 Giga Coasters implies that there are more than 7. There are ONLY 7 Giga Coasters, of course these are the top 7!
RUclips likes lists of odd numbers for some reason. I suppose I could of included the former tower of terror 2 in Australia, but it's no longer open and a shuttle coaster.
I like coasters, but not ones that are really high. I prefer long ones that have more twists and turns closer along the ground rather than going airborne. The Batman at 6 Flags Over Texas is probably my favorite. As you state with these rides, The Batman is WAY too short of a ride. I'd love to be on it for at least 10 minutes at a time.
Why do you care about the height it’s a giga
I find it irratating that the decision was made to REDUCE the intensity of intimidator 305 😡
I thought in order for a roller coaster to be a giga coaster it had to have a drop of 300 feet plus and be a full circuit coaster with a full layout?
Intimidator 3000 really lives up to its name, you either hate it or you like it but it is really the most intense out of all the gigas
I disagree but ..Fury is number 1
Orion is NOT a Giga Coaster... Thats Like Saying Red Force is a Strata Coaster 🚮
If red force had a 400ft drop...
why is it not a giga it has a 300ft drop
