I realize there are many, MANY amazing coasters that I haven't ridden yet. I just got into this hobby a few years ago and am limited on travel by budget and time. As the years go on, I will update this list to include more amazing rides.
Wait a sec. I thought holding your breath increases a blackout chance. Either way, having a friend smash you in the head increases your blackout probability. Can we not just enjoy a ride without going to sleep for sections of it?
I had brain damage earlier on in life when binge riding tons and tons of intense and some rough coasters, now with really intense rides I almost always black out completely, and I get a headache on anything too rough or intense. I was so scared going on Intimidator 305 since I knew it was intense, but it was far more intense than I was expecting. I greyed out on the infamous first turn, then after a bit more of intense turns, I was completely unconscious until the last turn to the brake run. Woke up with a bruised arm, splitting headache, and was extremely dazed and just felt weird overall. Never riding that coaster ever again. Only ride I have ridden that genuinely feels like it is trying to kill you. I prefer to liken the ride experience to that of being strapped onto a rocket.
John Lorton no that’s false. In the military we are taught to do things such as hold breath; bare down; pump calves.. to help sustain proper blood circulation to brain; causing lack of oxygen (blood carries oxygen & failure for the body to get adequate blood supply to brain causes “grey out”). That’s why we compensate in those ways. And it’s much easier for this to happen if your dehydrated; have low blood sugar (maybe skipped some meals at park that day); low blood pressure (from not drinking water and dehydrated). It’s also a normal reaction to the g’s placed on the body at certain point in some rides; less and less as new rides software can mostly compensate prior to installation for this so they rarely install a ride with too much of a “high grey” out % as the GP doesn’t ride these rides as often.
I reuploaded this because I previously misidentified the manufacturer of The Beast as Dinn. Charlie Dinn led the project, but the coaster as a whole was manufactured in house. Also, for those of you who want to react to this in a video, you have my permission to use this video.
You put el toro at number 2 because you rode it in the front row, the last time I rode it, it was really bumpy, and I thought my neck was going to crack from the first drop. I recommend a rmc treatment on this ride.
I completely agree with Fury 325 being the #1 on your list. I have ridden it very many times and every time it provided a new thrill and sensation that I have never gotten with any other ride. Fury 325 is a must ride coaster.
What people don't realize is that it is expensive to fly to Cedar Point or Magic Mountain. Plus Hotels, Cars, Food, Etc. And saying he's not a real Coaster enthusiast because of that is Bull Crap. That's like being a Nascar Fan and people thinking you're a fake fan because you haven't been to the Daytona 500. It's dumb. Let him enjoy the parks he can get to and rate the coasters accordingly. After all, the title of the video is Best Coasters I'VE RIDDEN!
Cedar Point is literally on the other Half of the globe for me, no need to ride Millenium Force when i can also drive 2 hours for taron, GeForce, and so on
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loves Cheetah Hunt! It's very underrated in my opinion, and even though I like Kumba more, it's definitely one of my favorite rides at my homepark.
I've ridden The Beast in the front seat at night, so I know exactly what you mean. That is a blast! And Diamond Back is tied on the top of my list with Millennium Force! Please put Cedar Point on your bucket list, especially with the reconstruction of Mean Streak. As rough as that ride was, I still loved it.
Same with me. I've ridden both Lightning Rod and Iron Rattler and I prefer IR mainly because the restraints didn't kill my thighs like LR did even though the latter has a more superior layout. Experience and reridability is how I rank coasters on my list even though Taylor prefers LR.
Finally Someone who respects Cheetah Hunt geez Out of the ones I’ve ridden on this list 8. Shockwave 7. Kraken 6. Kumba 5. Manta 4. New Texas Giant 3. Montu 2. Cheetah Hunt 1. Mako
“Whenever I ride it I think of Van Halen’s Jump.” Well if you think of a song on Diamondback that isn’t by Pantera, then I don’t know what you’re thinking...
+HURRICANE83 Flights to Cleveland from my area are very expensive and I haven't had the time. Also, I wanted to wait until Steel Vengeance opens next year to visit for the first time.
Flights to anywhere other then Vegas from where i live are typically over $400. Ive managed to hit CP. I have had to resort to saving money other ways. heres some tips: 1. Going solo is expensive. try to find people to go with. Splitting hotel and gas costs helps a ton. (if you need someone, feel free to hit me up) 2. Sign up for Choice privileges. Choice hotels has locations all over the place. using choice privileges will guarantee you the lowest price on the room, as well as give you points that you can put towards free nights. 3. Water cups are free at (almost) all parks. dont spend money on soda and other drinks. drink water, its good for you, and it costs nothing. 4. If renting a car, NO EXTRAS. no, you don't need the added insurance, most credit cards will cover any issues. no you don't need GPS, google maps works just as good. 5. Visit parks on week days. they are less busy, and you will not need the parks line skip pass. also research the capacity of the rides. hit low capacity rides first or last. 6. look at prices for nearby airports. if its a extra 3 to 4 hours drive, it might be worth the savings.
Theme Park Crazy hop on I90 W and drive. I live in Upstate NY, near Syracuse and cedar point is like 5 hours from me. Can't be more than 8ish for you, I'm guessing. Totally worth it.
Some of these are amazing, especially seeing as I’m used to little British theme parks. I’ve not been on may of them, but Mako and Incredible Hulk are amazing.
tbh the only British coasters that'd probably even get close to any of the lists are all at Alton Towers like... probably The Smiler, Oblivion, Galactica (Air), maybe Nemesis or Wicker Man at a push... really doubt stuff like Stealth, The Swarm, Nemesis Inferno and Saw at Thorpe Park would even come close... the other British parks are largely aimed at really young kids.
Christian Moss the big one is an ancient rattler that hurts to ride not to mention being in a dump of a park in the trashiest place in the country stuck that's still in the 80s. Blackpool Pleasure Beach has one thing it prides itself on and it's not even maintained properly.
The hulk was my first major rollercoaster too and I loved it so much that I went on it three times even tho the line was insanely long AND DOING IT IN THE DARK IS A MUST
Homie we need to get you to Kennywood! I've ridden the biggest, the fastest and the craziest but there's just something magical about riding the Thunderbolt at night that can't be described unless you do it yourself.
The reason nobody really talks about Shockwave is since Six flags Over Texas has a lot more notable coasters than the before mentioned. Shockwave is a pretty generic design, as opposed to the Titan or the Texas Giant.
Josh C. Aw i love shockwave. I havent been on it (or any coaster, really) for like 7 years, though. It was one of my favorites along with judge Roy scream and a few others. I prefer smaller coasters that are more family friendly. I'm not into the titan or other more intense rides.
Also, I'm really surprised Texas giant wasn't on his list of worst coasters haha Edit: oh it looks like they re-tracked it. When I rode it last, it was still the original wooden track. It was super rough haha
Out of everything I’ve ridden, Nitro is my all time favorite followed by Superman The Ride and Wicked Cyclone! El Toro looks incredible but I didn’t get the chance to ride it because it was closed when I visited the park! Nitro, Superman, and Wicked Cyclone are all very smooth and they gave an absolutely incredible ride!
I absolutely love wicked cyclone. I rode it the last day it was open as the cyclone and I have to say that the wait for it to be retracted and altered into a hybrid coaster was 600% worth it. I love Skyrush as well but we had a bad experience with it a number of years ago. About two years after it opened, we went down to Hershey and while we were on skyrush, my mom's restraints broke. She was fine but it was still terrifying for both of us to get down the initial drop and see that the only thing holding her in was the strap that clips into the harness
I think you would be better served doing a top 10 rather than a top 25 list. While there is nothing wrong with just getting into riding and a limited track record, a top 25 list for you seems become repetitive, you seem to end up going back to the well at the same parks over and over again. A top 10 type list would also make for a shorter, more concise video.
On fury you can see the Charlotte skyline off to the left which makes for an amazing night view with the park around lit up and the skyline with it I would definitely say it's an amazing night ride
All of them! Though the look of Top Thrill Dragster scares the crap out of me! Also, it'll take a few years for me to be able to afford to go, but I'm pretty determined....
Fury 325 is probably the smoothest roller coaster I’ve ever ridden, the flow of speed, airtime and intensity is perfect to where you’d want to ride it again and again, and still be able to stomach a burger afterwards. The view from the top is incredible too, though I hope they work on the theming around the base of the coaster as it’s a little bland right now, just some sod grass along the entrance promenade (still mad they got rid of the old plantation house) is all they have currently. It would be cool to have some event space or smaller rides around the base, but considering most of the ride is outside the gates it think it would be difficult to make that happen. The area around Carowinds is primarily undeveloped woods or warehouses, so some landscaping could go a long way. Just my two cents.
It’s very good, the launches are incredible and it’s a family coaster but possibly the best in the world. It’s slow but feels like it’s 120 mph, it’s very intense and thrilling.
omg six flags great america in illinois is a must go to. Ragging Bull is a must ride for anyone who goes there as well as Goliath and X-Flight. X-Flight has seats on the side of the track and the initial drop is an inversion then drop. also, along the ride you go through a thread the needle sort of thing as well as coming close to touching the ground. Raging Bull has an incredible drop, it’s not a total 90 degree angle, but it’s close. the interesting hung about this ride is it never goes upside down and it’s bottomless with just a lap bar. it has many smaller drops and flashing lights at a couple turns. i’ve never personally been ok Goliath because tbh, i’m too scared to. it’s wooden and has a 90 degree drop along with going upside down with just a lap bar.
I think you'll love Maverick at Cedar Point if you like Cheetah Hunt. I like the uniqueness of Cheetah hunt, what other coaster has a little slow figure 8 in the air?
Hulk and Dueling Dragons (sadly gone) were my first big coasters that made me fall in love with coasters. Mako, The Big One, Hulk and Dueling Dragons will forever be my favourites
Here are my top 10! 10. Fahrenheit- HersheyPark 9. Boulder Dash- Lake Compounce 8. Kingda Ka- Six Flags Great Adventure 7. Top Thrill Dragster- Cedar Point 6. Wicked Cyclone- Six Flags New England 5. Maverick- Cedar Point 4. El Toro- Six Flags Great Adventure 3. Skyrush- HersheyPark 2. Superman: The Ride- Six Flags New England 1. Millennium Force- Cedar Point
My top 10: 10- Goliath/Walabi Holland 9- Crush Coaster/ Disneyland Paris 8- Alpen express/ Europa Park you need to do the VR version 7- Goldrush/ Slagharen 6- Stealth/ Thorpe Park 5- Red Force/ Ferrari land 4- Troy/ Toverland 3- Space Mountain Mission 2/ Disneyland Paris 2- Baron 1898/ Efteling 1- Taron/ Phantasialand
Larry Marquez exactly bro smhhhh. You cannot make this list without Cedar Point. Maverick, Gatekeeper, Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, Mean Streak, and Valvryn all make my list
Great to see some love from carowinds! I live in NC and carowinds is the only park ive ever been to, I didnt realize how high our coasters would rank :)
Six flags New England is my home park too! Superman is by far my favorite coaster. No matter how many times I ride it I just can't seem to get enough of it.
i used to think milleniumforce was overrated i rode it first year it came out and im an intamin fanboy although maverick is more overrated to me don’t like loops & inversions but intamin is way better Than B&M they all seem too competitive
Kevin Thompson you are wrong... sorry lol. I’m joking but i love those rides. Used to go to Cedar Point every year and those are both my favorites there
I am so happy Manta was on this list. Normally SeaWorld coasters arent appreciated. It has to be one of my favorite rides. Its one of those rides you have to go on multiple times during your visit. Sadly one of the times I was on it, it broke down and I was stuck on my stomach for an uncomfortable 10 minutes. Love it anyway! Haha
I guess you've never been to the West Coast huh? Over here in Los Angeles, we have Six Flags Magic Mountain and it's considered the best theme park in the world. We have 19 roller coasters here, and there's one for everyone! There are some thrill rides as well, including a 415 ft drop tower named Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom! It's attached directly onto Superman, a reverse freefall coaster (415 ft). If you're lucky, you can sometimes catch them both dropping at the same time! You should most definitely come check it out!
Like you dude, I am a CT resident and Lake compounce is my home park and the one ride I always anticipate every time I come here is always Phobia. I’m glad they added that big of a ride into the park, like you said, I like to marathon it as well when there’s no line so it is my personal fav that I always anticipate when I go to Lake compounce
Superman at Six Flags Fiesta Texas is hands down my favorite coaster. So smooth and flying through the quarry is an insane experience. Also, I get severe motion sickness, and am able to ride Superman multiple times with all the loops and inversions. it’s that smooth.
They are all USA coasters, that is a bit disappointing, I hoped you've done more coasters in both Asia and Europe that clearly offer more than all the coasters in this top 10. Maybe something for the future? European nr one: 1- Karnan- Hansa park Germany...95° drop/ indoor hypercoaster backwards free fall hybrid... Just ask Themepark review.... it's more than amazing, it's a dream to ride this gerstlauer... not to mention its amazing theme and soundtrack. This coaster is magic... The coaster itself isn't everything, what's around it, makes it complete... and that's something that I never see in the US. It has to take you to another reality, and many coasters in Europa and Japan can do this.
+Tim Heye I haven't been outside the country. This is my personal Top 25 and I'm sure if I got outside the country, many of those coasters will get on my list.
My list. Notes: I have only been to Cedar Point, Kings Island, Disney World, and SFGAM in 2012. 1. Top Thrill Dragster. King da Ka might be taller and faster but I’d rather lap bars than shoulder restraints. Short, but incredibly forceful. 2. Maverick. Long, Forceful, 2 launches, 95 degree drop, INSANE airtime! What more? 3. Diamondback. Favorite B&M hyper. Tall, Fast, Airtime-packed, and splashdown. 4. Mystic Timbers. Favorite woodie. Out-of-control, airtime-filled, incredibly steep drop, and the shed is OMG Amazing(jk). 5. Millennium Force. I’ll admit its overrated (CP is my home park) but great ride nonetheless. Huge, dark tunnels, and embodiment of the future age of roller coasters in which we now live in.
I am SO glad to live in NC with the fury. I’m going to Carowinds soon, so I’ll hopefully be riding it! I think what I like the most about what i’ve Seen of it is that surprisingly, it doesn’t seem too intense. The height and speed are the main fear factors, and everything else is calm enough for me to handle!
Kari Kane as someone that has been to both: what makes MM worse is that the park itself is... Ugly and a bit run down. And it's recycles many of it's designs from other Six Flags, because a chain is gonna be a chain. CP is really beautiful and has more unique design choices that feel custom to the landscape.
Steel Force will always hold a special place in my heart. I rode it with my dad as a kid, then took my son on it for his first ride after my father's death. Good memories, great ride.
As someone who spent the first 20 years of my life in central CT, I spent a lot of time riding Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce. That triple up used to be brutal, I haven't been able to ride it since they retracked it. The Phobia coaster looks super fun, and Zoomerang was the first coaster with inversions that I ever rode. The Lake will always hold a special place in my heart.
Outlaw Run was an awesome coaster! Silver Dollar City has an excellent lineup but Outlaw run was the star. You never loose speed as the airtime on this ride is marvelous. The corkscrew is amazing. Epic ride and you should check it out.
I rode Fury 325 two times in a row a few weeks ago when I visited Carowinds a few weeks ago for their choral event. I wasn’t in the front seat either time, but I still consider it the best roller coaster ever. I totally agree with you.
I have to say I'm so glad you only do lists of rides that you have actually been on. I've looked at some peoples lists and they have RMC coasters that aren't even finished yet ranked in their top 10 rides which is completely stupid. I think this is another reason people rank the New Texas Giant so low. They just watch a video and think it looks boring. They really have no idea at all what they are talking about. NTG is an incredible ride! Very fun from beginning to end with the ejector hills all throughout.
I'm from the UK. Never been to a theme park in the US (at least one that I remember, though I hope to one day). Best rollercoasters I've been on (or pretty much the only rollercoasters I've been on): 1.) Colossus (Thorpe Park, Surrey) 2.) Nemisis Inferno (Thorpe Park, Surrey) 3.) Saw: The Ride (Thorpe Park, Surrey) 4.) Oblivion (Alton Towers, Staffordshire) 5.) Stealth (Thorpe Park, Surrey) 6.) Swarm (Thorpe Park, Surrey) 8.) Sonic Spinball (Alton Towers, Staffordshire) 9.) X; (Thorpe Park, Surrey) I know, most of them are from the same park. That's because I don't go to theme parks that much unfortnately. Out of all the theme parks in the UK, I've only been to 4: Legoland Windsor (only once however, and when I was VERY young so I don't really remember much), Chessington World of Adventures, Alton Towers and Thorpe Park. I haven't been to one in about 2 years now. The closest one is Thorpe Park which I live about 40-50 minutes from. It's a shame because I'm quite avid about rollercoasters and theme parks in general. I can tell you when nearly all the rides at Thorpe Park opened and how long they've been operating for. When I'm older however, I'll make sure MY kids go to various theme parks around the country/world.
Try nemisis at alton towers the use of the scenery on the ride like the vert loop straight into the tunnel or the sharp u turn in front of a waterfall make the ride plus the theme is excellent may not be as long as us rides but they have alot more space for it
If you ever get a chance to visit the UK, two parks I can absolutely recommend for their rollercoasters are Thorpe Park in Surrey and Alton Towers in Staffordshire. The coasters housed within are considered legendary for a reason, with some being firsts for Europe, such as the former's The Swarm, the tallest B&M Wing Coaster in Europe, or the latter's Oblivion, the first ever B&M Dive Coaster to be put into operation. Both parks are, generally, havens for what I consider great B&M and Gerstlauer designs, although some of the older rides at Thorpe Park in particular, such as Colossus and Nemesis Inferno, do feel kinda rough and uncomfortable (in particular the consecutive barrel rolls on Colossus are a nightmare for my shoulders), but within all that you do have some fantastic rides, with my favourites being the aforementioned Swarm at Thorpe Park, SAW: The Ride (a Gerstlauer Eurofighter with some wicked inversions and near-miss elements) and the legend that is The Smiler; perhaps the most well-known Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster with a record-breaking 14 inversions, a decently long ride and a mind-bending layout that seems to have you spend more time upside-down than anything. One other thing Alton Towers does is what it calls the Strong Challenge for any other rollercoaster aficionados who live nearby. The challenge is to ride the 6 main coasters at the park in one day - not necessarily in the order prescribed (Smiler, Th13teen, Rita: Queen Of Speed, Oblivion, Nemesis, Galactica), or at least take a photo at the exit of each ride and win some merch.
i completely agree with the fact that the head chopper felling is amazing on el toro. even after being on it more then 50x im still catching myself pulling my arms down going passed them
El Toro is crazy... and two of the craziest things about it aren't even directly on the ride: 1. Six Flags didn't entirely demolish Rolling Thunder before building El Toro where the old coaster used to be. At certain points you can see bits of Rolling Thunder still sitting there as El Toro rumbles over its grave. That is COLD. 2. THERE IS A SNACK BAR ON THE LINE. I don't care how long the wait can get, it is insane to serve FOOD to people who are about to get on one of the world's most intense wooden coasters.
I will say this when you get back to Hershey Park you need to give skyrush a ride at night. The first drop in the dark was absolutely epic and it was only my first time on it. Strom runner is the same way a night ride going through those inversions was absolutely thrilling
I realize there are many, MANY amazing coasters that I haven't ridden yet. I just got into this hobby a few years ago and am limited on travel by budget and time. As the years go on, I will update this list to include more amazing rides.
Theme Park Crazy you should go to Silverwood them park
Can you go to the Efteling in the Netherlands once?
Lightning Roddddddd........
Theme Park Crazy have u gone to fiesta Texas?
Try Superman at Darien lake NY! 208 ft drop
You seem to be to be extremely susceptible to graying/blacking out
It means he doesn’t hold his breath, he knows how to enjoy them
Wait a sec. I thought holding your breath increases a blackout chance. Either way, having a friend smash you in the head increases your blackout probability. Can we not just enjoy a ride without going to sleep for sections of it?
@@jodypowell7052 bro just drincc water before riding

+Team BlockBiters Yes you may.
Theme Park Crazy nvm i dont think i should make it. But great vid and list.
Afterburn isn't on your list? Why? Just kind of suprised to see other really solid inverts but no Afterburn
You put el toro at number 2 because you rode it in the front row, the last time I rode it, it was really bumpy, and I thought my neck was going to crack from the first drop.
I recommend a rmc treatment on this ride.

EXACTLY LIKE EVERYONE DONT GOT TO GO TO FRICKEN CEDAR POINT ITS TOO EXPENSIVE
You're so right
Yeah people can be annoying sometimes. "OMFG U NEVER BEN TA CEDAR POINT??!!! WTF IS WRONG WIT U????!!!!!!!1!!1!"
Cedar Point is literally on the other Half of the globe for me, no need to ride Millenium Force when i can also drive 2 hours for taron, GeForce, and so on
Who else is heading down to Cedar Point in 2018 to ride a new potential #1 in Steel Vengence
Shark Man I hope so
My home park is cedar point so that’s not going to b an issue
Me🙋🏼♂️
Caleb Reese you lucky son of a beast.
Shark Man its my home park so I’ll be there about 20 times
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who loves Cheetah Hunt! It's very underrated in my opinion, and even though I like Kumba more, it's definitely one of my favorite rides at my homepark.

Paul Boncaldo the beast is an awesome coaster
Beast at night😀😲😫🤯
Paul Boncaldo I couldn’t agree more
Paul Boncaldo first time I road beast it was night in front and we got stuck on the top of the first hill.
OOOOHHHH You must have never ridden Intimidator 305
I don’t like intimidator too much. It’s over hyped and it’s an okay ride but it’s not very unique. Just fast
Intimidator 305 and Dominator are high key my favorite rides at my home park
Wave Man Mike yeah. Kings dominion is my home park. I can't wait for him to ride i305
I've never been on it, I want to go on it the most, I haven't,
Wave Man Mike 305 and Volcano would have him shitting bricks. 305 in the back is ungodly.
This list is so different compared to Coaster Studios.
I know right
King•Le Roy Agreed
King•Le Roy but that's what's amazing right? Not everyone is going to have the same opinions
King•Le Roy ikrrrr
Same with me. I've ridden both Lightning Rod and Iron Rattler and I prefer IR mainly because the restraints didn't kill my thighs like LR did even though the latter has a more superior layout. Experience and reridability is how I rank coasters on my list even though Taylor prefers LR.

@@jonjonsshreds3312 Hershey park could use a nice giga coaster, but it probably won't happen.
I saw you on the top 10 worst coasters video😂
LordMalice6d9 yea and I don’t really like gigs coasters, there too fast and scary, I like skyrush though
Then you must live thighcrush
This account is my new favourite binge watch!
The hulk was my first major rollercoaster too and I loved it so much that I went on it three times even tho the line was insanely long
AND DOING IT IN THE DARK IS A MUST
Homie we need to get you to Kennywood! I've ridden the biggest, the fastest and the craziest but there's just something magical about riding the Thunderbolt at night that can't be described unless you do it yourself.
mtfan And also Phantom Revenge. Kind of forgot their best ride by far
Definitely maybe we can get him there when the steel curtain opens
The reason nobody really talks about Shockwave is since Six flags Over Texas has a lot more notable coasters than the before mentioned. Shockwave is a pretty generic design, as opposed to the Titan or the Texas Giant.
Josh C. Aw i love shockwave. I havent been on it (or any coaster, really) for like 7 years, though. It was one of my favorites along with judge Roy scream and a few others. I prefer smaller coasters that are more family friendly. I'm not into the titan or other more intense rides.
Also, I'm really surprised Texas giant wasn't on his list of worst coasters haha
Edit: oh it looks like they re-tracked it. When I rode it last, it was still the original wooden track. It was super rough haha
Yeah, they re-tracked it when that lady died on it
Josh C. False. The lady died after rmc updated the ride.
Really? Okay.
Out of everything I’ve ridden, Nitro is my all time favorite followed by Superman The Ride and Wicked Cyclone! El Toro looks incredible but I didn’t get the chance to ride it because it was closed when I visited the park! Nitro, Superman, and Wicked Cyclone are all very smooth and they gave an absolutely incredible ride!
I've been on Cheetah Hunt when it was raining. It was such a cool experience! One of my fav ride next to Montu and Kumba
OMG I totally agree with Fury at number 1! I love this ride so much! I go there first every time I go to Carowinds. Phenomenal ride.
So you haven’t been to magic mountain ay? Well I’m telling you you’re gonna love twisted colossus

Coasterboy223 yess
@@fredl.7696 erm. Maybe...
Yes
I absolutely love wicked cyclone. I rode it the last day it was open as the cyclone and I have to say that the wait for it to be retracted and altered into a hybrid coaster was 600% worth it. I love Skyrush as well but we had a bad experience with it a number of years ago. About two years after it opened, we went down to Hershey and while we were on skyrush, my mom's restraints broke. She was fine but it was still terrifying for both of us to get down the initial drop and see that the only thing holding her in was the strap that clips into the harness
I love carowinds so much!!!!!!!!
Kara's life same
same
Riden fury 479 times literally
I think you would be better served doing a top 10 rather than a top 25 list. While there is nothing wrong with just getting into riding and a limited track record, a top 25 list for you seems become repetitive, you seem to end up going back to the well at the same parks over and over again. A top 10 type list would also make for a shorter, more concise video.
That's a fair opinion. I appreciate it. I'll take it into account for future videos.
On fury you can see the Charlotte skyline off to the left which makes for an amazing night view with the park around lit up and the skyline with it I would definitely say it's an amazing night ride
Glad that my home park gets a mention in the number 1 spot! Loved that ride and will always love it to pieces.
I must be very lucky to not only live 20 mins away from Kings Island. But to work there!
I can guarantee that if you go to ceader point, 3-5 of their coasters will make this list.
Three to five...
325 omg
All of them! Though the look of Top Thrill Dragster scares the crap out of me! Also, it'll take a few years for me to be able to afford to go, but I'm pretty determined....
I’m a ct resident also and I’m going to Hersey park next week hope I have a good time
as someone who lives in Charlotte, it makes me happy to hear that I’ve ridden your favorite roller coaster
Fury 325 is probably the smoothest roller coaster I’ve ever ridden, the flow of speed, airtime and intensity is perfect to where you’d want to ride it again and again, and still be able to stomach a burger afterwards. The view from the top is incredible too, though I hope they work on the theming around the base of the coaster as it’s a little bland right now, just some sod grass along the entrance promenade (still mad they got rid of the old plantation house) is all they have currently. It would be cool to have some event space or smaller rides around the base, but considering most of the ride is outside the gates it think it would be difficult to make that happen. The area around Carowinds is primarily undeveloped woods or warehouses, so some landscaping could go a long way. Just my two cents.
Man great video! Been waiting for it for so long! You cant imagine how happy i am! Can you do top 10 worst or something?
Also first :D
Team BlockBiters couldnt agree more
Agree
Team BlockBiters Thank you! I plan on doing my top 10 worst coasters video next.
Theme Park Crazy yay your replied! Also im excited
12:33 NO!! THE LIGHT OF THE CHEETAH HUNT FANBOYS!!! IT'S BURNING ME!!!
I'm bringing you to the light of disney fanboys then.
Have you ridden it? It really is amazing
It’s very good, the launches are incredible and it’s a family coaster but possibly the best in the world. It’s slow but feels like it’s 120 mph, it’s very intense and thrilling.
Purepower 8 it’s just fun
SOOOOO FFFFFUUUUUNNNN
Yeah it was my first intamin and that drop still gets me
I watched this mostly to see if Kings Island got on this list
IM SO PROUD OF MY HOMETOWN PARK
omg six flags great america in illinois is a must go to. Ragging Bull is a must ride for anyone who goes there as well as Goliath and X-Flight. X-Flight has seats on the side of the track and the initial drop is an inversion then drop. also, along the ride you go through a thread the needle sort of thing as well as coming close to touching the ground. Raging Bull has an incredible drop, it’s not a total 90 degree angle, but it’s close. the interesting hung about this ride is it never goes upside down and it’s bottomless with just a lap bar. it has many smaller drops and flashing lights at a couple turns. i’ve never personally been ok Goliath because tbh, i’m too scared to. it’s wooden and has a 90 degree drop along with going upside down with just a lap bar.
I think you'll love Maverick at Cedar Point if you like Cheetah Hunt. I like the uniqueness of Cheetah hunt, what other coaster has a little slow figure 8 in the air?
never been to cedar point or sfmm? bruh you're really missing out
Hulk and Dueling Dragons (sadly gone) were my first big coasters that made me fall in love with coasters. Mako, The Big One, Hulk and Dueling Dragons will forever be my favourites
My Top 5 I can just say are:
The Incredible Hulk Coaster
Mako
Goliath (Over Georgia)
Rock N Roller Coaster
Cheetah Hunt
You haven't been to cedar point?!!! Your missing out!
By the way, great video.
Agreed. Also: is that baritone or Tuba?
Tree for Life 2915. My logo? Its a tuba.

You haven't been to Magic Mountain OR CP?!?
Then you really haven't been on the best coasters yet
How do you have a RUclips channel about Theme parks and rollercoasters...but you haven't been to MM or CP?!
ikr
Larry Marquez considering your attitude Im not surprised you have 6 subs unlike him
LordPolitoed, I'm not a you tuber, idiot. Do you see any videos on my channel?? Not trying to get subs dumbass.
Larry Marquez exactly bro smhhhh. You cannot make this list without Cedar Point. Maverick, Gatekeeper, Millennium Force, Top Thrill Dragster, Mean Streak, and Valvryn all make my list
The Phobia Phear coaster is just Superman at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom..
Sachi Patel and Tempesto at Busch Gardens Williamsburg.
My top 3 Carowinds coasters are
3: hurler
2: intimidator
1: Fury 325 (obviously)
Fury 325 was badass. That and The NightHawk are my 2 favorite
When you are English so you know none of these 😂🤷♀️ they look amazing though!
I have a good idea theme park crazy. You could do your weekly polls on RUclips with the new poll thing.
Great to see some love from carowinds! I live in NC and carowinds is the only park ive ever been to, I didnt realize how high our coasters would rank :)
Six flags New England is my home park too! Superman is by far my favorite coaster. No matter how many times I ride it I just can't seem to get enough of it.
What’s the difference between a black out and a grey out
Nin9ty that's what I was thinking
I think a black out is like passing out, and grey out is like about to fall asleep.
My Top 5 I can just say are:
Millenium Force
El Toro
Wicked Cyclone
Diamondback
Nitro
i used to think milleniumforce was overrated i rode it first year it came out and im an intamin fanboy although maverick is more overrated to me don’t like loops & inversions but intamin is way better Than B&M they all seem too competitive
wicked cyclone is amazing! was definitely worth the hour wait!
I go ride wicked cyclone every time I go to six flags and it’s not that good
Kevin Thompson you are wrong... sorry lol. I’m joking but i love those rides. Used to go to Cedar Point every year and those are both my favorites there
Willjomosh Have you ever rode fury 325?
I am so happy Manta was on this list. Normally SeaWorld coasters arent appreciated. It has to be one of my favorite rides. Its one of those rides you have to go on multiple times during your visit. Sadly one of the times I was on it, it broke down and I was stuck on my stomach for an uncomfortable 10 minutes. Love it anyway! Haha
Theme Park Crazy ..... GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS .... Happy Holidays to you and yours ....
I guess you've never been to the West Coast huh? Over here in Los Angeles, we have Six Flags Magic Mountain and it's considered the best theme park in the world. We have 19 roller coasters here, and there's one for everyone! There are some thrill rides as well, including a 415 ft drop tower named Lex Luthor: Drop of Doom! It's attached directly onto Superman, a reverse freefall coaster (415 ft). If you're lucky, you can sometimes catch them both dropping at the same time! You should most definitely come check it out!
Pretty sure Cedar Point is considered the best park in the world
KingLewi992 zumanjaro is higher
Cedar point is better
KingLewi992 Zumnajaro is better,just saying.
Zumanjaro isn’t that scary or fun so I highly doubt that lex Luther is better
Wow, if you love roller coasters so much, I would make it your top priority to go to Cedar Point, Millennium Force is the best you’ll ever ride
**steel vengeance, or maverick
Lucy Bishop Millennium Force was my first ride at CP. Damn I’ll never forget the smooth and air time
Nice top 10 list. As a coaster fan my self. One trip to cedar point will change your list dramatically.
Whoa! Our little Carrowinds got your #1?! I’m so proud!
My personal favorite is Expedition Everest. Yes, I'll admit, I like a little bit of story with my rides.
And I hate large drops, bite me.
Ross Pit: Shark Hunter I marathoned that ride on my trip to WDW in 2016. Good ride with great theming.
i dont know here you went to ride expedition Everest but i rode it at Disney land and i loved it
Ross Pit: Shark Hunter I absolutely love Expedition Everest
The Leviathan at Canada’s wonderland is the best ride, you should go on the Leviathan
quackjcj12 Gaming ikr I love that ride
TheIcyWrist me too
Fury is better
Like you dude, I am a CT resident and Lake compounce is my home park and the one ride I always anticipate every time I come here is always Phobia. I’m glad they added that big of a ride into the park, like you said, I like to marathon it as well when there’s no line so it is my personal fav that I always anticipate when I go to Lake compounce
Superman at Six Flags Fiesta Texas is hands down my favorite coaster. So smooth and flying through the quarry is an insane experience. Also, I get severe motion sickness, and am able to ride Superman multiple times with all the loops and inversions. it’s that
smooth.
You’re vocabulary will inspire someone someday.
They are all USA coasters, that is a bit disappointing, I hoped you've done more coasters in both Asia and Europe that clearly offer more than all the coasters in this top 10. Maybe something for the future?
European nr one:
1- Karnan- Hansa park Germany...95° drop/ indoor hypercoaster backwards free fall hybrid... Just ask Themepark review.... it's more than amazing, it's a dream to ride this gerstlauer... not to mention its amazing theme and soundtrack.
This coaster is magic... The coaster itself isn't everything, what's around it, makes it complete... and that's something that I never see in the US. It has to take you to another reality, and many coasters in Europa and Japan can do this.
+Tim Heye I haven't been outside the country. This is my personal Top 25 and I'm sure if I got outside the country, many of those coasters will get on my list.
Shambala - Port Aventura - Nemesis - Alton Towers
Taron - Phantasialand - Kärnan - Hansa Park - Expedition GeForce - Holiday Park - Goliath - Walibi Holland all designed by Walther Stengel
Wicker Man - Alton Towers a amazing GCI best theming in the park and air time full it's a definite golden ticket awards worthy
Another one in Europe that's really good i Helix on Liseberg, Sweden, according to many a top 5 coaster in the world
My list.
Notes: I have only been to Cedar Point, Kings Island, Disney World, and SFGAM in 2012.
1. Top Thrill Dragster. King da Ka might be taller and faster but I’d rather lap bars than shoulder restraints. Short, but incredibly forceful.
2. Maverick. Long, Forceful, 2 launches, 95 degree drop, INSANE airtime! What more?
3. Diamondback. Favorite B&M hyper. Tall, Fast, Airtime-packed, and splashdown.
4. Mystic Timbers. Favorite woodie. Out-of-control, airtime-filled, incredibly steep drop, and the shed is OMG Amazing(jk).
5. Millennium Force. I’ll admit its overrated (CP is my home park) but great ride nonetheless. Huge, dark tunnels, and embodiment of the future age of roller coasters in which we now live in.
Love your videos keep up the good work man👊🏻
Are you kidding? Have you ever been to Cedar Point? If u haven't you need to go!
Eddie Garcia he literally said that in the first minute
NO EXPEDITION EVEREST IM DEAD INSIDE
Kid Music Reviews its a small ass coaster meant for 9 year olds
a e s t h e t i c it’s a great coaster, idk what you are talking about
it goes faster than some hypers
LordPolitoed it’s a special effects coaster at Disney. Bro wdym
Kid Music Reviews not all people have the money to go there, plus it’s not really a big coaster anyways.
I am SO glad to live in NC with the fury. I’m going to Carowinds soon, so I’ll hopefully be riding it! I think what I like the most about what i’ve Seen of it is that surprisingly, it doesn’t seem too intense. The height and speed are the main fear factors, and everything else is calm enough for me to handle!
It's actually really intense but it's so smooth that it feels more fun than frightening.
Thank you so much for saying you didn’t see Cedar point beforehand 🙌🏼 I would be having a stroke right now...
intimadatore 305
idante 345 what intimidates me is your grammar.
*spelling
You MUST go to Magic Mtn..... Its prob the best park out there...they set the records, cedar point just steals their designs and breaks the records
Kari Kane as someone that has been to both: what makes MM worse is that the park itself is... Ugly and a bit run down. And it's recycles many of it's designs from other Six Flags, because a chain is gonna be a chain. CP is really beautiful and has more unique design choices that feel custom to the landscape.
Steel Force will always hold a special place in my heart. I rode it with my dad as a kid, then took my son on it for his first ride after my father's death. Good memories, great ride.
I was eager to see if Fury 325 would be number 1! Excellent ride filled with nonstop excitement.
I really liked Storm Chaser at Kentucky Kingdom, it was loud af but it was super smooth and I loved the corkscrew turn into the drop
As someone who spent the first 20 years of my life in central CT, I spent a lot of time riding Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce. That triple up used to be brutal, I haven't been able to ride it since they retracked it. The Phobia coaster looks super fun, and Zoomerang was the first coaster with inversions that I ever rode. The Lake will always hold a special place in my heart.
Six flags is on here a lot.. YOU ARE THE BEST
Outlaw Run was an awesome coaster! Silver Dollar City has an excellent lineup but Outlaw run was the star. You never loose speed as the airtime on this ride is marvelous. The corkscrew is amazing. Epic ride and you should check it out.
I rode Fury 325 two times in a row a few weeks ago when I visited Carowinds a few weeks ago for their choral event. I wasn’t in the front seat either time, but I still consider it the best roller coaster ever. I totally agree with you.
I have to say I'm so glad you only do lists of rides that you have actually been on. I've looked at some peoples lists and they have RMC coasters that aren't even finished yet ranked in their top 10 rides which is completely stupid.
I think this is another reason people rank the New Texas Giant so low. They just watch a video and think it looks boring. They really have no idea at all what they are talking about. NTG is an incredible ride! Very fun from beginning to end with the ejector hills all throughout.
I'm from the UK. Never been to a theme park in the US (at least one that I remember, though I hope to one day). Best rollercoasters I've been on (or pretty much the only rollercoasters I've been on):
1.) Colossus (Thorpe Park, Surrey)
2.) Nemisis Inferno (Thorpe Park, Surrey)
3.) Saw: The Ride (Thorpe Park, Surrey)
4.) Oblivion (Alton Towers, Staffordshire)
5.) Stealth (Thorpe Park, Surrey)
6.) Swarm (Thorpe Park, Surrey)
8.) Sonic Spinball (Alton Towers, Staffordshire)
9.) X; (Thorpe Park, Surrey)
I know, most of them are from the same park. That's because I don't go to theme parks that much unfortnately. Out of all the theme parks in the UK, I've only been to 4: Legoland Windsor (only once however, and when I was VERY young so I don't really remember much), Chessington World of Adventures, Alton Towers and Thorpe Park. I haven't been to one in about 2 years now. The closest one is Thorpe Park which I live about 40-50 minutes from. It's a shame because I'm quite avid about rollercoasters and theme parks in general. I can tell you when nearly all the rides at Thorpe Park opened and how long they've been operating for. When I'm older however, I'll make sure MY kids go to various theme parks around the country/world.
Try nemisis at alton towers the use of the scenery on the ride like the vert loop straight into the tunnel or the sharp u turn in front of a waterfall make the ride plus the theme is excellent may not be as long as us rides but they have alot more space for it
You are by far my favorite coaster channel.
You deserve 1m subs ❤️❤️Your content is probably some of the BEST coaster content I have seen on RUclips
If you ever get a chance to visit the UK, two parks I can absolutely recommend for their rollercoasters are Thorpe Park in Surrey and Alton Towers in Staffordshire. The coasters housed within are considered legendary for a reason, with some being firsts for Europe, such as the former's The Swarm, the tallest B&M Wing Coaster in Europe, or the latter's Oblivion, the first ever B&M Dive Coaster to be put into operation.
Both parks are, generally, havens for what I consider great B&M and Gerstlauer designs, although some of the older rides at Thorpe Park in particular, such as Colossus and Nemesis Inferno, do feel kinda rough and uncomfortable (in particular the consecutive barrel rolls on Colossus are a nightmare for my shoulders), but within all that you do have some fantastic rides, with my favourites being the aforementioned Swarm at Thorpe Park, SAW: The Ride (a Gerstlauer Eurofighter with some wicked inversions and near-miss elements) and the legend that is The Smiler; perhaps the most well-known Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster with a record-breaking 14 inversions, a decently long ride and a mind-bending layout that seems to have you spend more time upside-down than anything.
One other thing Alton Towers does is what it calls the Strong Challenge for any other rollercoaster aficionados who live nearby. The challenge is to ride the 6 main coasters at the park in one day - not necessarily in the order prescribed (Smiler, Th13teen, Rita: Queen Of Speed, Oblivion, Nemesis, Galactica), or at least take a photo at the exit of each ride and win some merch.
Glad too see a lot of Florida rides on this list. I’m an annual pass holder for BG and SW. I love the rides here they’re great.
Fury 325 ranked at #3 on my bucket list coasters behind steel vengeance at 1 and intimidator 305 at 2
My top 5:
5: Boulder dash
4: Gringott bank escape
3: Mantide
2: Spinball wizzer
1: Nemesis
loving that storm runner appreciation
i completely agree with the fact that the head chopper felling is amazing on el toro. even after being on it more then 50x im still catching myself pulling my arms down going passed them
If those trenches on Montu make it your favourite B&M invert you HAVE come to Germany and try BlackMamba!
El Toro is crazy... and two of the craziest things about it aren't even directly on the ride:
1. Six Flags didn't entirely demolish Rolling Thunder before building El Toro where the old coaster used to be. At certain points you can see bits of Rolling Thunder still sitting there as El Toro rumbles over its grave. That is COLD.
2. THERE IS A SNACK BAR ON THE LINE. I don't care how long the wait can get, it is insane to serve FOOD to people who are about to get on one of the world's most intense wooden coasters.
I will say this when you get back to Hershey Park you need to give skyrush a ride at night. The first drop in the dark was absolutely epic and it was only my first time on it. Strom runner is the same way a night ride going through those inversions was absolutely thrilling
I'm a New England resident too and Superman the Ride (although, I still call it the Bizarro) is still my favorite roller coaster to this day!
So far: lightning rod, from Dollywood is my favorite ride ever.
