I feel like viper has been getting more love in the community lately. To be honest a lot of coasters have. I feel like non entitled coaster nerds are getting a bigger place in the community and I’m happy about that.
You know I gave viper another shot yesterday after over 10 years of not riding it....people just complain about it because it’s the thing to do I guess....is it the smoothest?? Absolutely not!! But it’s not nearly as bad as people cry about it. It’s a great classic coaster! You wanna talk about a coaster that hurts you...get on Scream! I came home with a head ache. Terrible ride as far as smoothness
When I first rode viper I was expecting the worst, however I was pleasantly surprised and had a fun time, making it one of the most memorable rides at magic mountain for me
@@_peepee_it’s honestly just the restraint positioning, cause on some of the loop exits your body moves side to side and you end up hitting your ears on the shoulder guards 😢
2:33 Ahhh man!! I remember when I Ride this ride, I was already in my Teen Years in mid 2000's (2002-2005). They let me get on because they didn't care 😂 It was a decent day at the park, Plenty of people. Me and my family were there literally all day! So towards the end of the day, is when some of my younger cousins found this ride and wanted to get on. I waited in line with them, and they did try to stop me from getting on, but since the line was so short they just let me get on. I remember seeing some kids with their parents too so it wasn't a Really Enforced Law as opposed to a loosely enforced Rule. 😂 Maybe it was just that one operator or something, but man! The Nostalgia you have brought up in me is Insane! Glad you started out with this little gem.
Great list! I don't think Magic Mountain has a bad coaster. My ranking goes as follows: 15. Gold Rusher 14. Ninja (It's been a while since I've ridden it.) 13. Viper (Great layout, but I have to brace myself for some of those transitions.) 12. The New Revolution 11. The Riddler's Revenge 10. Scream! 9. Apocalypse 8. West Coast Racers 7. Batman the Ride 6. Full Throttle 5. Superman: Escape from Krypton (This one exceeded my expectations) 4. Goliath (Really underrated) [Wonder Woman: Flight of Courage would probably rank here] 3. Tatsu 2. X2 1. Twisted Colossus
@@lucasfenskeWhy all the enthusiast hate for Goliath? It’s not that bad, sure it doesn’t have much airtime and it’s a hypercoaster, drop could be better and the midcourse kills the speed but not every roller coaster has to have airtime to be good
4:39 Actually it's the 4th Arrow Mine Train ever built. The first three in order is Runaway Mine Train (SFOT), Dahloenga Mine Train (SFOG), and Cedar Creek Mine Ride (CP).
Nice to see I'm not the only one who thinks Goliath is overhated/underrated. I enjoyed all 3 ride I got on it, especially my front row rides. While the mid-course is laughable, that speed hill provided several seconds of floater on all 3 rides, and the sense of speed in the front while not on Giga levels, was pretty good. Also, I simp for Viper :) Viper is amazing and also underrated.
The sense of speed on the front row on every other hyper I've ridden is better than Goliath. With the exception of the Big Apple Coaster in Las Vegas. Like X2, Xcelerator, Cannibal, Titan, both Mr. Freeze clones, Diamondback, Nitro, Magnum XL 200, Skyrush, Raging Bull, Wicked Twister, Steel Vengeance. To name a few
I remember when the midcourse breakrun didn't slow to a crawl and pushed right on through. Too many blackouts right after the helix ended that. But man was it intense.
My personal top 3 at MM: 1. Twisted Colossus 2. Superman 3. Full Throttle However, I acknowledge X2 is the best coaster in the park. The most mental coaster in the U.S.! It’s just too intense for me 😬
Twisted Colosuss is very intense, you said it isn't intense, its very intense and its way more intense than Scream and Riddlers and it also has the best drop in the whole entire park! Also I go to magic mountain ever weekend, I only live 30 minutes away and I have a membership so its hard to rank them but for my top 5 Coaster I'd say 1. Twisted Colossus 2. West Coast Racers 3. Full Throttle 4. X2 5. Tatsu
I think TwiCo is very intense because it gives pops of forces rather than sustained moments. Which I don't like, causing TwiCo to fall pretty low on my list. The drops are great tho.
my top 5: 1. Twisted Colossus 2. Tatsu 3. X2 4. West Coast Racers 5. Batman I rode WCR for the first time this year and I was crazy impressed. It was *much* more forceful than I anticipated. from the POVs I watched and the general consensus from the coaster community on RUclips, I almost expected a family ride. the launches had a nice kick, the high 5 absolutely launched me out of my seat, I got some really solid airtime on the hill before the 2nd launch, and I greyed out on the helixes at the end of the ride. excellent addition to the park!
Magic mountain is my home park and I live about 20 mins away from it… so I’ve been on each ride at least 7 times. Also the entire current line up is great since they are all enjoyable for me. unlike when green lantern was there, I would gladly ride all 15 coasters. 1. Twisted Colossus (Favorite coaster I have ever been on) 2. Tatsu 3. Full Throttle 4. X2 (only when it has fire and volume if not I’d rank way lower) 5. West Coast Racers 6. Goliath (Yes I actually love this one but I know that it has a lot of missed potential) 7. Riddler’s Revenge (bend your knees slightly and the ride is not uncomfortable also being the side is great) 8. Viper (If you don’t lean forward you will get hurt, if you do it is great) 9. Batman 10. New Revolution Classic (I debated putting this one higher since it has nice scenery and is just fun in general) 11. Apocalypse (Ghostrider just puts this to shame for me but it’s still very fun) 12. Superman Escape from Krypton 13. Scream 14. Ninja 15. Gold Rusher Ranking rides with wait times in mind: 1. Twisted Colossus 2. Tatsu 3. Viper 4. Full Throttle 5. Riddlers Revenge 6. X2 (line is almost always bad) 7. Batman 8. West Coast Racers 9. New Revolution Classic 10. Scream 11. Goliath 12. Apocalypse 13. Ninja 14. Superman Escape from Krypton 15. Gold Rusher
My 50" 7 year old daughter rode all the 48" coasters for the first time last weekend on the opening of fright fest. We rode everything at least 4 times, except Twisted Colossus and Apocalypse because Apocalypse was only open for about 1 hour on Sunday night and Twisted crushed my testicles. She rates her top 5 as X2, Apocalypse, Wonder Woman, Goliath, and Twisted Colossus. The funniest thing was on X2, how at the photo area at the end of the ride, her photo was hands up with a giant smile, while the people next to us looked like they crapped themselves in the photo.
Well I been to over 45 amusement parks and I'm a big coaster junkie! Magic Mountain is my favorite park besides Cedar Points and Brush Gardens. But at Magic Mountain #1 is Twisted Colossus and I remember riding it when it was just Colossus and during Halloween they would run one backwards. That was awesome. But i really love how they did the new one. So much fun!!!#2 Full Throttle #3 West Coast Racer,#4 Wonder Woman #5 Tower of Doom,#6 Tashu #7 The Apocalypse. These are the ones I always do 1st..Magic Mountain has more coasters than any amusement park in USA. But I do live in California, but I rather make the 7 hr drive there than the 2 hr drive to 6 Flags Veijo or even Great American which I heard they will be closing that park soon.
Great list! There are 3 coasters that I haven’t ridden (Scream!, Apocalypse, and New Revolution), but I’ll go ahead and rank the ones that I have ridden. I’m sure this will change with time since I’ve only ridden these coasters once or twice up to this point, but this is how I have them ranked as of this moment: 13. Gold Rusher (it’s good for what it is, but it definitely doesn’t compare to the other coasters the park has to offer) 12. Ninja (same as Gold Rusher, but it’s a bit more intense than Gold Rusher) 11. Viper (it’s not a bad coaster at all. I actually like it. However, the roughness of the ride brings it down a notch in my opinion) 10. Superman (Obviously the launch is great, and it’s good for what it is, but its lack of elements hurts it a bit for me. I wish there was more to it) 9. Goliath (Goliath is a fantastic ride in my opinion. My only real problem with it is that the first drop is a bit weak. Everything else after it picks up the slack, though) 8. Riddler’s Revenge (I’ve only ridden this ride once, and on that one ride, I did not get the height right for the seat. I definitely see loads of potential in the ride if my legs and balls aren’t hurting throughout the duration of the ride, LMAO) 7. Full Throttle (a fantastic ride. The loop is perfect, and the backwards launch is great as well. My only problem with this ride is that it’s a bit short) 6. Wonder Woman (another fantastic ride. I think the only issue I have with the ride is the fact that I need to hop on while the train is moving. Hopping on caused my leg to cramp up, which was a major concern while I was heading up the lift hill. Thankfully the cramp went away before the drop, but I wish I didn’t have to worry about that) 5. Batman (this ride was amazing, especially since I got to sit towards the back. A great mix of fun and intensity) 4. West Coast Racers (I absolutely love this ride. I love the fact that you get a guaranteed duel every time. It adds so much to the experience) 3. Tatsu (this ride blew me away. The pretzel loop was fantastic, and I could feel my vision getting blurry midway through the loop. I have nothing bad to say about this ride) 2. Twisted Colossus (I don’t think I’ve ever got on a coaster that has made me fear for my life like this one has. The airtime on this coaster is insane, and I feel like I’m going to slip out of the lap bar every single time. Brilliant) 1. X2 (this ride never fails to blow me away. I’ve never seen anything like it, and it’s without a doubt my favorite coaster of all time, although I haven’t really ridden many other coasters in the world. It truly is a perfect coaster imo)
yo also, am i just unlucky? every time i’ve been on x2 since last year when the park reopened, the sound track has been off. and the fire has only been on twice. i miss the sound so much it added to the experienxe
I've heard it hasn't been working since the start of the pandemic, and yea; I didn't appreciate the soundtrack before but having ridden it without, it's practically half the experience right there.
So based off of your intensity rating system, where would you say I lie if if I've been on one hyper (Goliath at SFOG), Twisted Cyclone, Batman at SFOG, Mindbender at SFOG, Rock N' Rollercoaster, and Expedition Everest?
Currently my top 5 goes as: 1. X2 2. Twisted Colossus 3. West Coast Racers 4. Full Throttle 5. Apocalypse (I haven't ridden Tatsu yet, but when the paint job is finished this might change)
I totally understand why you put Magic Flyer at 19 but for personal sentimental reasons I rank it much higher. It was my first ever coaster when I was a little kid in the early 90s and I still remember riding it and realizing I could ride a coaster. I loved it as a little kid. Because it was my first ever coaster (though the name was different at that time) it will always have a very special place in my heart. For similar reasons, Revolution will always be special for me because it was my first inverting coaster.
my top 5 before I ride X2 and WWFOC at the end of the month 1. Twisted Colossus 2. Apocalypse 3 Tatsu 4 West Coast Racers 5 Full Throttle I think having apocalypse that high is kinda controversial but I just love wood coasters so much!
I actually agree with almost all of your ratings. But I would disagree with your rating of Viper. It's way to painful, gives you a headache and not enjoyable. Me and my friends skip this ride everything. Unless you are into pain. I would say Twisted Colossus is my #1 cuz It's 2 rides in one and lasts longer. Great video and rankings.
Since my last visit in 2014, my favorite ride there is Full Throttle followed by The Riddler's Revenge, Apocalypse, Colossus, Scream, Goliath, Tatsu, Ninja, X2, Goldrusher, Revolution and Green Lantern: First Flight. I didn't do Viper, Batman: The Ride or Superman: Escape From Krypton while I was there sadly. F.Y.I. This was a very hard ranking for me as I found every ride there to be very enjoyable. It was easier for me to rank the coasters at Cedar Point and so many other parks than it was for this one.
100% correct about Riddler’s Revenge. Slightly bend your knees and you’ll be able to strap down much comfortably. Then you’ll be able to actually enjoy the ride and not be constantly thinking about the discomfort in your crotch.
My top 5 now that I’ve ridden flight of courage: 1. Twisted 2. FOC 3. X2 4. Viper 5. Ninja (if I’m riding with someone heavier than me lol the train gets crazyyy laterals)
You know I always wondered with 19 coasters six flags is always referring to....had no idea they counted the bugs bunny world coasters..or is that just you including them in your countdown?
I recently visited the park and personality thought X2/Tatsu were kinda overrated. Twisted Collosus and Wonder Woman absolutely were my two favriotes at the park.
I did not do viper, ninja, superman efk, and apocalypse here's my rankings 12 gold rusher 11 new revolution 10 scream 9 goliath 8 batman 7 west coast racers 6 Riddler's revenge 5 wonder woman foc 4 full throttle 3 twisted colossus 2 tatsu 1 obviously x2
In this series, I'm supposed to keep the reviews to 1 minute. So, to incentivize that, every time I review for more than that, I get another round of whatever punishment the viewers vote on!
I didn't think much of Goldrusher before, but last time I went I got a night ride on it and my appreciation for it went way up. Revolution dropped a fair bit on my rankings after I dislocated my arm riding it Personally I think Ninja is a fair bit less intense than Revolution Scream is significantly underrated, and it almost never has a line Superman is one of my favorite rides in the park tbh. Also a good example of how thrilling stats don't mean a thrilling ride, neccessarily Batman's an amazing ride; since it's cloned people might dismiss it but it's cloned for a good reason. Unfortunately it's closed while they work on Wonder Woman West Coast Racers is pretty ok. It's nothing amazing IMO, and I wouldn't place it over Batman, but it's still fun. Premier trains are a big bonus for me, since they're comfy and the shin guards protect against being stapled, with just the seat belt holding me in. The support structure by the Go-Karts is hideous tho Goliath is a mixed bag for me. Everything before the mid-course brakes is amazing, just, 10/10. Everything after, ehhh, not a fan of. I used to not like Full Throttle, but the past two times my appreciation for it has grown significantly. The theming hasn't aged well and it's very short, but the launch, large loop, and top hat are great, and again, Premier trains are a major plus. I used to be a big fan of Viper, but after my trip in August, I'm not riding it again without either new cars, new track, or some other major overhaul. It's gotten *much* rougher than it was before, to the point I just don't find it fun. It doesn't help that I'm too tall to comfortably fit in the seat Apocalypse was a sleeper hit for me. My first few trips to SFMM I never paid it much attention, but in my August trip I decided to give it a shot and it blew me away, overtaking Ghostrider as my favorite wooden coaster in the world. It's fast, rapid-paced, relentless, and just all-around fun. Riddler's Revenge I'm sorta mixed on. I think it's fun, but nothing outstanding. The stand-up trains, while unique, don't really add anything for me? I don't think they're uncomfortable, but they don't do much either. I think it's just a bit better than Scream. Tatsu is amazing. Every time I go to SFMM I rush to make sure I get an early spot in line for it. The pretzel loop is probably my favorite element on any coaster in the entire world. My unpopular opinion? I don't like Twisted Colossus. I'm not a fan of quick pops of forces, which is mostly what TwiCo does. The only elements that really do anything for me are the main drops, and the longer airtime hill and stall that make up the Top Gun Stall. All the other elements aren't fun for me, and the last time I rode it, my brother kept his arms up the whole time and whacked me in the face every moment of laterals. On top of the long lines this ride consistently gets, I don't usually bother riding it when I go. I rank the old Colossus slightly above TwiCo tbh. X2 is by *far* the best ride at SFMM - There's just nothing I've ever been on like it and I can easily justify waiting 3 hours (as you usually will) for it. I find it's best at night tbh, so I save it for the last ride of the night (especially so that the long queue time doesn't take away from the other coasters). Last time I went the onboard audio wasn't working, which does impact the ride experience a lot more than you might think, but it was still amazing. The sound track is amazing and pairs perfectly with the layout, especially the lift hill and drop. I hear it stopped working around the beginning of the pandemic Top 10: 1. X2 2. Tatsu 3. Apocalypse 4. Superman 5. Batman 6. Full Throttle 7. Riddlers Revenge 8. Scream 9. West Coast Racers 10. Goliath Gold Rusher's night ride was so good it debatable placed on the top 10 but since it's variable I didn't put it on. A good ride on Gold Rusher can be better than a bad ride on WCR or Goliath though, easily It's sad to see Viper's fallen out of my top 10, but it's too rough for me now.
@Lucas Tran I've since visited Six Flags a few times since that comment was posted, and I think the difference for me is that day I rode in the afternoon, rather than the mornings as I usually do. It's alright in the morning, but significantly rougher later in the day
My rankings 1.X2 (Every time I hear "Enter the Sandman" I get goosebumps now, it's awesome) 2. Twisted Colossus 3. Tatsu 4. WCR 5. Full Throttle 6. Apocalypse 7.Batman (when running hot, only drops a spot if not) 8. Riddler's 9. Scream (overly hated on) 10. Viper (yes rough, but not unbearable with head back) 11. Ninja 12. Revolution 13. Gold rusher 14/15. Superman, Goliath (Scrap em, build something better. And yes I rather scrap these two boring structures than Viper) Add on: Crazanity is a flat ride but one of the craziest rides in the park for sure
Apocalypse is was very disappointing an rough. Scream is one of the most underrated coasters I’ve ever ridden. I would honestly take Scream over, Viper, Full Throttle, West Coast Racers, Full Throttle, Riddler.
Apocalypse is one of the smoothest wooden coasters I've been on, did you ride it in the afternoon? I ride it first thing in the morning after Tatsu and WCR and it overtook Ghostrider as my favorite wooden coaster. I agree about Scream being underrated tho
i know coaster enthusiasts love twisted colossus and it’s probably “objectively” a better ride but x2 will always be my favorite. i dont think anything can top it for me personally, not even steel vengeance. there is no coaster that scares the sht out of me and makes me laugh like it
@@redpandaz5146 sheesh not even top 10? thats crazy idk if id go that far but there are a lot of underrated coasters and magic mountain (apocalypse, goliath, riddlers, ninja)
@@_peepee_There's just not much TwiCo does that I find fun. Especially, last time I rode it, my brother kept his arms up the whole time and ended up whacking me in the face with each moment of lateral
23:49 got you a thumbs down for saying it's super smooth. That is the roughest ride in the entire park.. Maybe you're young enough that your balls have not dropped yet, but this is a ride that kills my crotch, back, and thighs. This would not even crack my top 10.
Superman is boring. If you've been on a quarter pipe you've been on superman. The launch is very gradual and once you're vertical, yeah your weightless for 6 seconds, but being stapled down kinda ruins even that. I hope they keep the tower for DOD, but that land where the launch and station is is prime real estate for coaster 21. Goliath is also a waste of space. Who wants a hyper with no airtime? B&M revamp minimum needed to make that legit hyper.
@@throatdagoat9116 Colossus has more airtime than the rest of the rides at sfmm combined...almost. This is def in my top 3, we'll see after WW gets in there.

I feel like viper has been getting more love in the community lately. To be honest a lot of coasters have. I feel like non entitled coaster nerds are getting a bigger place in the community and I’m happy about that.
how do you ride it without hurting yourself? ive always been too scared that im gonna feel like sht the rest of the day after

X2 is the craziest out of control thing ever. Once you go on that one, everything else is a cakewalk.
Great. When I ride Full Throttle, all I’ll be thinking about is that goose
Great list! There are 3 coasters that I haven’t ridden (Scream!, Apocalypse, and New Revolution), but I’ll go ahead and rank the ones that I have ridden. I’m sure this will change with time since I’ve only ridden these coasters once or twice up to this point, but this is how I have them ranked as of this moment:
13. Gold Rusher (it’s good for what it is, but it definitely doesn’t compare to the other coasters the park has to offer)
12. Ninja (same as Gold Rusher, but it’s a bit more intense than Gold Rusher)
11. Viper (it’s not a bad coaster at all. I actually like it. However, the roughness of the ride brings it down a notch in my opinion)
10. Superman (Obviously the launch is great, and it’s good for what it is, but its lack of elements hurts it a bit for me. I wish there was more to it)
9. Goliath (Goliath is a fantastic ride in my opinion. My only real problem with it is that the first drop is a bit weak. Everything else after it picks up the slack, though)
8. Riddler’s Revenge (I’ve only ridden this ride once, and on that one ride, I did not get the height right for the seat. I definitely see loads of potential in the ride if my legs and balls aren’t hurting throughout the duration of the ride, LMAO)
7. Full Throttle (a fantastic ride. The loop is perfect, and the backwards launch is great as well. My only problem with this ride is that it’s a bit short)
6. Wonder Woman (another fantastic ride. I think the only issue I have with the ride is the fact that I need to hop on while the train is moving. Hopping on caused my leg to cramp up, which was a major concern while I was heading up the lift hill. Thankfully the cramp went away before the drop, but I wish I didn’t have to worry about that)
5. Batman (this ride was amazing, especially since I got to sit towards the back. A great mix of fun and intensity)
4. West Coast Racers (I absolutely love this ride. I love the fact that you get a guaranteed duel every time. It adds so much to the experience)
3. Tatsu (this ride blew me away. The pretzel loop was fantastic, and I could feel my vision getting blurry midway through the loop. I have nothing bad to say about this ride)
2. Twisted Colossus (I don’t think I’ve ever got on a coaster that has made me fear for my life like this one has. The airtime on this coaster is insane, and I feel like I’m going to slip out of the lap bar every single time. Brilliant)
1. X2 (this ride never fails to blow me away. I’ve never seen anything like it, and it’s without a doubt my favorite coaster of all time, although I haven’t really ridden many other coasters in the world. It truly is a perfect coaster imo)
yo also, am i just unlucky? every time i’ve been on x2 since last year when the park reopened, the sound track has been off. and the fire has only been on twice. i miss the sound so much it added to the experienxe
I've heard it hasn't been working since the start of the pandemic, and yea; I didn't appreciate the soundtrack before but having ridden it without, it's practically half the experience right there.
So based off of your intensity rating system, where would you say I lie if if I've been on one hyper (Goliath at SFOG), Twisted Cyclone, Batman at SFOG, Mindbender at SFOG, Rock N' Rollercoaster, and Expedition Everest?
Awesome video!
Nice list but full throttle could have been higher. My list is
1 Twisted Colossus
2 X2
3 Tatsu
4 Full Throttle
5 Apocalypse
Fair enough!
Tatsu at night has got to be one of the coolest experiences you can get in cali
Will you ever make a calab with justin scarred at any southern CA parks?
Currently my top 5 goes as:
1. X2
2. Twisted Colossus
3. West Coast Racers
4. Full Throttle
5. Apocalypse
(I haven't ridden Tatsu yet, but when the paint job is finished this might change)
Phffffff Magic Flyer #1 for sure!! Who needs that Allen Schilke washing machine?
But in all seriousness great video and killing the game. 🙏👏
My top 5 at MM
1 Viper
2 Twisted
3 X-2
4 Apocalypse
5 Tatsu
PS when did you film the footage inside of vipers stason
I totally understand why you put Magic Flyer at 19 but for personal sentimental reasons I rank it much higher. It was my first ever coaster when I was a little kid in the early 90s and I still remember riding it and realizing I could ride a coaster. I loved it as a little kid. Because it was my first ever coaster (though the name was different at that time) it will always have a very special place in my heart. For similar reasons, Revolution will always be special for me because it was my first inverting coaster.
1. Twisted Colossus
2.Tatsu
3.X2
4.Full Throttle
5.Apocalypse
my top 5 before I ride X2 and WWFOC at the end of the month
1. Twisted Colossus
2. Apocalypse
3 Tatsu
4 West Coast Racers
5 Full Throttle
I think having apocalypse that high is kinda controversial but I just love wood coasters so much!
I actually agree with almost all of your ratings. But I would disagree with your rating of Viper. It's way to painful, gives you a headache and not enjoyable. Me and my friends skip this ride everything. Unless you are into pain. I would say Twisted Colossus is my #1 cuz It's 2 rides in one and lasts longer. Great video and rankings.
Cool video.
So what do you think of the new changes regarding season passes?
Honestly unsure so far since certain things about them keep changing.
Since my last visit in 2014, my favorite ride there is Full Throttle followed by The Riddler's Revenge, Apocalypse, Colossus, Scream, Goliath, Tatsu, Ninja, X2, Goldrusher, Revolution and Green Lantern: First Flight. I didn't do Viper, Batman: The Ride or Superman: Escape From Krypton while I was there sadly.
F.Y.I. This was a very hard ranking for me as I found every ride there to be very enjoyable. It was easier for me to rank the coasters at Cedar Point and so many other parks than it was for this one.
1. Goliath
2. Full Throttle
3. Tatsu
4. New Revolution
5. Twisted Colossus
6. Apocalypse
7. West Coast Racers
8. The Riddlers Revenge
9. Gold rusher
Rank of rides I’ve ridden ^
Omg thankyou someone has common sense and puts Goliath high
@@JakebtwI definitely wouldn’t say number 1 for me but it’s number 5 in the park for me because I think it’s severely underrated
100% correct about Riddler’s Revenge. Slightly bend your knees and you’ll be able to strap down much comfortably. Then you’ll be able to actually enjoy the ride and not be constantly thinking about the discomfort in your crotch.
My top 5 now that I’ve ridden flight of courage:
1. Twisted
2. FOC
3. X2
4. Viper
5. Ninja (if I’m riding with someone heavier than me lol the train gets crazyyy laterals)
Top 3 to me is
1 X2
2 Twisted Colossus
3 Tatsu
Your one minute sentence for that crime is to marathon x2 for a whole day with platinum flash pass
My top 5: 1. X2 2. Tatsu 3.Full throttle 4. Wonder Woman 5. Batman
X2 was my first ever coaster and was pretty light not going to lie
My fiance and I went a week ago. My top 3 are Twisted Colossus, X2, and Tatsu. Wonder Woman at #4
1 Twisted Colossus
2 X2
3 Tatsu
4 Batman The Ride
5 West Coast Racers
6 Full Throttle
7 Apocalypse
8 Riddler’s Revenge
9 Scream
10 Goliath
11 Superman Escape From Krypton
12 Viper
13 Ninja
14 Revolution
15 Gold Rusher
16 Canyon Blaster
17 Road Runner Express
18 Speedy Gonzales
19 Magic Flyer
You know I always wondered with 19 coasters six flags is always referring to....had no idea they counted the bugs bunny world coasters..or is that just you including them in your countdown?
They include the Bugs Bunny World coasters in that count!
I recently visited the park and personality thought X2/Tatsu were kinda overrated. Twisted Collosus and Wonder Woman absolutely were my two favriotes at the park.
My top 5 is
1 crazanity
2 tastu
3 x2
4 tc
5 full throttle
My top 5 are:
1. X2
2. Twisted Colossus
3. Apocalypse
4. Viper

What do the “penalties” mean
In this series, I'm supposed to keep the reviews to 1 minute. So, to incentivize that, every time I review for more than that, I get another round of whatever punishment the viewers vote on!
1 scream
2riddler’s
3Goliath
4viper
5west coat racers
Finally someone knows the difference between 'famous' and 'infamous' lol
I didn't think much of Goldrusher before, but last time I went I got a night ride on it and my appreciation for it went way up.
Revolution dropped a fair bit on my rankings after I dislocated my arm riding it
Personally I think Ninja is a fair bit less intense than Revolution
Scream is significantly underrated, and it almost never has a line
Superman is one of my favorite rides in the park tbh. Also a good example of how thrilling stats don't mean a thrilling ride, neccessarily
Batman's an amazing ride; since it's cloned people might dismiss it but it's cloned for a good reason. Unfortunately it's closed while they work on Wonder Woman
West Coast Racers is pretty ok. It's nothing amazing IMO, and I wouldn't place it over Batman, but it's still fun. Premier trains are a big bonus for me, since they're comfy and the shin guards protect against being stapled, with just the seat belt holding me in. The support structure by the Go-Karts is hideous tho
Goliath is a mixed bag for me. Everything before the mid-course brakes is amazing, just, 10/10. Everything after, ehhh, not a fan of.
I used to not like Full Throttle, but the past two times my appreciation for it has grown significantly. The theming hasn't aged well and it's very short, but the launch, large loop, and top hat are great, and again, Premier trains are a major plus.
I used to be a big fan of Viper, but after my trip in August, I'm not riding it again without either new cars, new track, or some other major overhaul. It's gotten *much* rougher than it was before, to the point I just don't find it fun. It doesn't help that I'm too tall to comfortably fit in the seat
Apocalypse was a sleeper hit for me. My first few trips to SFMM I never paid it much attention, but in my August trip I decided to give it a shot and it blew me away, overtaking Ghostrider as my favorite wooden coaster in the world. It's fast, rapid-paced, relentless, and just all-around fun.
Riddler's Revenge I'm sorta mixed on. I think it's fun, but nothing outstanding. The stand-up trains, while unique, don't really add anything for me? I don't think they're uncomfortable, but they don't do much either. I think it's just a bit better than Scream.
Tatsu is amazing. Every time I go to SFMM I rush to make sure I get an early spot in line for it. The pretzel loop is probably my favorite element on any coaster in the entire world.
My unpopular opinion? I don't like Twisted Colossus. I'm not a fan of quick pops of forces, which is mostly what TwiCo does. The only elements that really do anything for me are the main drops, and the longer airtime hill and stall that make up the Top Gun Stall. All the other elements aren't fun for me, and the last time I rode it, my brother kept his arms up the whole time and whacked me in the face every moment of laterals. On top of the long lines this ride consistently gets, I don't usually bother riding it when I go. I rank the old Colossus slightly above TwiCo tbh.
X2 is by *far* the best ride at SFMM - There's just nothing I've ever been on like it and I can easily justify waiting 3 hours (as you usually will) for it. I find it's best at night tbh, so I save it for the last ride of the night (especially so that the long queue time doesn't take away from the other coasters). Last time I went the onboard audio wasn't working, which does impact the ride experience a lot more than you might think, but it was still amazing. The sound track is amazing and pairs perfectly with the layout, especially the lift hill and drop. I hear it stopped working around the beginning of the pandemic
Top 10:
1. X2
2. Tatsu
3. Apocalypse
4. Superman
5. Batman
6. Full Throttle
7. Riddlers Revenge
8. Scream
9. West Coast Racers
10. Goliath
Gold Rusher's night ride was so good it debatable placed on the top 10 but since it's variable I didn't put it on. A good ride on Gold Rusher can be better than a bad ride on WCR or Goliath though, easily
It's sad to see Viper's fallen out of my top 10, but it's too rough for me now.
Scream never has a line because it is absolutely horrible!! Not the actual ride and layout...but the roughness. It’s terrible!!
@@luisn818 It's not rough tho??
@Lucas Tran I've since visited Six Flags a few times since that comment was posted, and I think the difference for me is that day I rode in the afternoon, rather than the mornings as I usually do. It's alright in the morning, but significantly rougher later in the day
#1 X2
#2 Twisted C
#3 Tatsu
#4 Full T
#5 West Coast
bought the season SFMM flash pass mostly for the one ride per visit on X2, so I don't have to wait 2 hours. X2 is awesome
My rankings
1.X2 (Every time I hear "Enter the Sandman" I get goosebumps now, it's awesome)
2. Twisted Colossus
3. Tatsu
4. WCR
5. Full Throttle
6. Apocalypse
7.Batman (when running hot, only drops a spot if not)
8. Riddler's
9. Scream (overly hated on)
10. Viper (yes rough, but not unbearable with head back)
11. Ninja
12. Revolution
13. Gold rusher
14/15. Superman, Goliath (Scrap em, build something better. And yes I rather scrap these two boring structures than Viper)
Add on: Crazanity is a flat ride but one of the craziest rides in the park for sure
Yea, "Enter Sandman" just reminds me of X2 now XD
Apocalypse is was very disappointing an rough. Scream is one of the most underrated coasters I’ve ever ridden. I would honestly take Scream over, Viper, Full Throttle, West Coast Racers, Full Throttle, Riddler.
Apocalypse is one of the smoothest wooden coasters I've been on, did you ride it in the afternoon? I ride it first thing in the morning after Tatsu and WCR and it overtook Ghostrider as my favorite wooden coaster.
I agree about Scream being underrated tho
I love your vids but there’s no way riddlers revenge is this high, scream is a much better and more comfortable ride than riddlers revenge
i know coaster enthusiasts love twisted colossus and it’s probably “objectively” a better ride but x2 will always be my favorite. i dont think anything can top it for me personally, not even steel vengeance. there is no coaster that scares the sht out of me and makes me laugh like it
X2 is by far my favorite ride in the park, while TwiCo doesn't even fall into my top 10. *shrug*
@@redpandaz5146 sheesh not even top 10? thats crazy idk if id go that far but there are a lot of underrated coasters and magic mountain (apocalypse, goliath, riddlers, ninja)
@@_peepee_There's just not much TwiCo does that I find fun. Especially, last time I rode it, my brother kept his arms up the whole time and ended up whacking me in the face with each moment of lateral
Maybe velocicoaster
23:49 got you a thumbs down for saying it's super smooth. That is the roughest ride in the entire park.. Maybe you're young enough that your balls have not dropped yet, but this is a ride that kills my crotch, back, and thighs. This would not even crack my top 10.
You missed lex Luther drop of doom
That's not a roller coaster :)
He parks bros I think wonder woman can be top 5 in the park
West Coast Racers number 16, those restraints suck!
Bro superman destroyed me back when i went on it, 0 - 10.
Ninja>>>>>>>Scream
On some days I’d agree, but not this day 😎
Superman is boring. If you've been on a quarter pipe you've been on superman. The launch is very gradual and once you're vertical, yeah your weightless for 6 seconds, but being stapled down kinda ruins even that. I hope they keep the tower for DOD, but that land where the launch and station is is prime real estate for coaster 21. Goliath is also a waste of space. Who wants a hyper with no airtime? B&M revamp minimum needed to make that legit hyper.
That's so true Goliath gets beaten by Colossus and is half the size of it and superman should at least update the seats
@@throatdagoat9116 Colossus has more airtime than the rest of the rides at sfmm combined...almost. This is def in my top 3, we'll see after WW gets in there.
@@sumguy8 u right fasho summer is going to be spent on gathom city viper & x2 finna be lonely
Superman isn't *thrilling*, but it's still fun IMO. I agree about the seats tho
@@redpandaz5146 If it's a walk on I'll ride passing by. But I never go up the mountain just to ride this Superman.
Apocalypse is terrible lol
