So happy to see Boardwalk Bullet made the cut for top 25! Easily my favorite roller coaster yet and one that a lot of people don't talk about. That coaster is the true definition of pure chaos.
Love seeing my home park, Kings Dominion, represented in your top 25. I305 was my number one steel up until two months ago. As for Twisted Timbers, it made me feel my age on my last visit. I tweaked my back on one of its many ejector air hills and no treadmill or trips to the gym for me that following week. I even went into work late one day because I was in so much pain. I probably should have bowed out of riding rides for the rest of the day after but I had to keep up with my two teen nieces and we hadn't even ridden I305 yet (along with Flight of Fear, retracked Grizzly, and a re-ride on TT).
VERY solid ranking! I haven’t had the chance to ride I-305 yet but I can see it stands alone when it comes to level of intensity 🤘🏼 also, I think you have the best intro of any coaster RUclips channel. Keep it up broskie 👊🏼
Great video! The U.S. has such an awesome collection of coasters! I'm really looking forward to your European Vlogs btw! Makes me wonder how much you would like Steel Curtain if you had ridden it.
1. Lightning Rod 2. Arie Force One 3. Velocicoaster 4. Outlaw Run 5. Fury 325 6. Iron Gwazi 7. X2 8. The Voyage 9. Top Thrill Dragster 10. Steel Vengeance 11. Maverick 12. Intimidator 305 13.

Storm Runner. Pretty crazy how similar and even exact in a couple cases your are to mine. Legend, Millennium, and Iron Rattler are just outside my top 25. And I'm missing Shivering Timbers, Gold Striker, and Boardwalk Bullet.
Cool list. I've been on almost all of your top 50 and the rankings are pretty solid. It's all a matter of opinion once you get into the really great coasters since IMO they are all 10/10
Great rankings -- although, I haven't yet ridden all of these coasters to have my own personal opinions on them all. I agree with you on Lightning Rod (both its good points and its underwhelming aspects) -- my least favorite RMC I've ridden. Orion is great. I finally rode it about 4 weeks ago, and I was impressed. I think it's an all-around really good coaster -- the first drop is close to the greatness of Fury's first drop. Maverick is one of my favorites -- and it is actually my favorite at Cedar Point (Ultimately, it did more for me than Steel Vengeance). Maverick certainly has the level of aggression and relentlessness that I so much appreciate in a roller coaster -- but everything else about it is great too. Twisted Timbers is a good one -- a lot of fun to ride over and over again. Iron Gwazi is currently my #1 coaster -- the death roll is my favorite inversion on any coaster. VelociCoaster is my #2 coaster -- only slightly behind Iron Gwazi. The Mosasaurus roll -- second favorite inversion on any coaster. Night rides on VelociCoaster are phenomenal. Fury 325 --- love this coaster, crack in a support beam and all -- currently my most ridden coaster, and I happened to have ridden it while that crack was there in the beam (two days before the park guest videotaped it) -- but that really doesn't bother me -- I'll be ready to jump aboard it again when it reopens. It used to be my #1 coaster until I rode Iron Gwazi and VelciCoaster. Then, after I rode ArieForce One for the first time back at the beginning of April, Fury moved down to my #4 spot. AeriForce One is just too good. Out of the 24 rides I've gotten on it, in different temperatures and at various times of day, not one ride was less aggressive, intense and relentless than another. Even though I do find the quad down and break-run areas to be a little uncomfortable (this is only the case after several consecutive rides on it), the ride is so great otherwise that it doesn't bother me -- and the discomfort is not so much that it is anything too bad (like the ungodly discomfort on Hurler and Carolina Cyclone). The outer-banked airtime hill and the second hill on the double-up are two of some of my favorite airtime moments on any coaster. I-305, my first opportunity to ride it back in March, and it was closed the day I was at Kings Dominion -- that SUCKED. It is one of my top bucket list coasters, and I'm still bummed that I was there and it was closed. I know it's gonna be one of my top coasters once I finally get to ride it since I love intense coasters with speed and height. I'm still bummed about missing Pantheon -- it was closed too the day before I went to Kings Dominion. I'm looking forward to finally riding it when I make it back to Busch Gardens. I have some kind of hang-up with Steel Vengeance that I can't really fully pin down. I think one thing is that I expected more out of it than I got from it. It's definitely a great coaster, but I think I wanted and expected even more greatness out of it than I got.
I haven't been able to ride most of these rides, but my top three are all in your top five! I have The Voyage, Fury 325, and ArieForce One. Intimidator 305 is in my number 7 spot, but it is definitely the coaster I want to re-ride the most. I haven't been to Kings Dominion in over 10 years.
I have been on many of these coasters except.....Intimidator 305😢... Love the love to Vengeance...disappointed with the love to Gwazi...(should be higher ....😊) I loved Wildcat's Revenge....I'm sure it will eventually be in your top 10.
I visited Cedar Point for the first time a few days ago, and was blown away by Maverick. It has Skyrush level airtime, its more intense than i305, and its whippier than any B&M invert.
Finally got to ride I305 yesterday. Instantly fell in love with the sheer force of this ride. Somehow I didn’t gray out so idk what that says about me other than that I must be a speed junkie 😂
Great list! I305 was definitely an experience. I was pleasantly surprised to knock Wicked Cyclone to my #2 RMC after my visit to KD as well. Twisted Timbers is great! I actually prefer TT and WC to Steeve and Twisted Colossus.
Cool to see Maverick on this list. I’m a bit of a baby (working on it!) when it comes to big coasters. But I worked my way up to it and rode it. Such an amazing coaster!
Too bad Fury 325 is temp. closed for that HUGE HUGE!! crack in the tracks support column!! I hope it is back open in October when I am going for my 1st time there! Yikes.... Richard
Awesome list!! So happy to see more people giving Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster some love!! Those two are tied for my favorite roller coasters of all time!!!!
I honestly don't see anything ever beating I305 for me. MAYBE Eejanaika, but honestly that's really it. I almost didn't ride it again because I didn't think I could physically handle it, but I did anyway, because that's EXACTLY what I look for in a coaster.
I've ridden 49/50. I'm missing Kingda Ka, but hopefully this Saturday is the day I will be riding it. Here is my Top 50 US Coasters: 1. Steel Vengeance 2. Iron Gwazi 3. Velocicoaster 4. Lightning Rod 5. Arie Force One 6. SkyRush 7. El Toro 8. Twisted Timbers 9. Fury 325 10. Pantheon 11. Voyage 12. Wildcat's Revenge 13. Outlaw Run 14. I-305 15. Maverick 16. Mako 17. Phantom's Revenge 18. Iron Rattler 19. X2 20. Storm Chaser 21. Twisted Colossus 22. GhostRider 23. Magnum XL-200 24. Phoenix (Knoebels) 25. Time Traveler 26. RailBlazer 27. Wonder Woman (SFFT) 28. Stunt Pilot 29. GoldStriker 30. Cannibal 31. Goliath (SFOG) 32. Shivering Timbers 33. Candymonium 34. Millennium Force 35. Twisted Cyclone 36. Wicked Cyclone 37. Top Thrill Dragster 38. Goliath (SFOG) 39. Renegade 40. Mystic Timbers 41. Storm Runner 42. Copperhead Strike 43. Orion 44. Montu 45. Wonder Woman (SFMM) 46. Ravine Flyer II 47. Diamondback 48. Joker (SFDK) 49. Superman (SFNE) 50. Afterburn Notable coasters I have not ridden: Kingda Ka, Jersey Devil, Monster (Adventureland), and Cyclone (Luna Park). And I have my first Europa coaster trip next month.
I'm glad to see Pantheon getting some well deserved love. I will admit that I still think BGW failed with the theming and presentation and that they could have done so much. But if you just look at the layout it is amazing. Also, totally agree that Steel Vengeance still has it and it's still better than the competition including Iron Gwazi. Very solid list Marc.
Great list. I am planning to go to the US next year to finally riding some of "your" coasters after having ridden many of the best European coasters. I305 ist also way up in our bucket list and we can't wait to check out SteVe. How will it compare to Zadra :-)!
my #1 coaster is skyrush, but the best ride of my life was on i305. Backrow zen ride at 9:55pm in 36 degree weather on the last train of the season. What a wild ride
Also a big fan of I305. I agree with most of the list but I honestly think you may have a little recency bias with Arie Force One. It's good don't get me wrong but for me it's one of the most painful rides out there. Up until the end it's absolutely perfect but that quad down into the brake run destroys me. It seems like opinions change based on size and I am 6ft5 so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I have it ranked #9 out of 211, one spot above Twisted Colossus
I didn't enjoy the Voyage nearly as much as you..... Beast any day over Voyage for me. Fury 325 is unreal... haven't been on it for like 10 years though lol
It’s good to see a roller coaster that’s at my home theme park on a list at number 1! I’ve only gone to Busch gardens Williamsburg and KD and intimidator is def number 1 for me. The intensity is unreal
With X2 off my bucket list and toping my favorite coasters list by a mile, I-305 is my next target on my bucket list. I’ve always though intensity was more fun than airtime and I can’t wait for the day I can get out to Virginia
Great set of videos. Can't believe my home park got the number 4 spot. AFO is such a dream to ride and to live just a couple minutes away from it I just feel blessed haha. I really want to make my way around the US to ride most of these, especially voyage. Just like you said, it looks magical and i hope it is when i ride it!
Marc, I love the list, both of them. As someone from the Midwest's Great Lake Region, I feel we were represented well and blessed to have great coasters in our area. Have a good one sir!
I like your list! Not filled with the typical (yawn) top 10-15. Nice to see some love given to coasters that receive a lot of unjustified hate these days. Millie, Orion, X2 and I-305. I haven't ridden I-305 or Skyrush yet. But they are on my bucket list. And I am sure they will be in my top tier.
I've only ever ridden 2 hyper coasters I think is what there called, and that was the hulk buster coaster and the raptor coaster at universal studios. I rode the raptor coaster when it was only a week or two old and boy was it an experience I loved. Anaways I'm going to six flags new England in Massachusetts and I'm exited to ride a wooden coaster for the first time, the superman one and also the other I think sum like cyclone or sum idk
Great list! I appreciate that you don't automatically place Iron Gwazi in first place. I feel like way too many people overhype the ride. And that's not to say it's not a great ride, it's actually my #3 overall, but so many people act like it's the end all be all of coasters and that nothing else can or ever will touch it. I think it's suffered from the newness factor. While the ride is definitely fast and intense, I feel like it's essentially a rehash of many other RMCs, just taking most of the best elements and putting them into one. I still place Steel Vengeance and Velocicoaster above IG. SV because of the length, setting, intensity, and just overall grandiosity, and VC for the setting, theming, pacing and uniqueness. The juxtaposition of the initial confusion of the twisted mess in the raptor paddock then rolling into the ramped up second half is a fascinating journey, something that really no other coaster in the U.S. offers. Also, the ops on IG really turned me off and I try not to let that hinder my opinion on a ride but man the ride ops are almost unforgiveable. I305 is a great coaster too and I can appreciate you placing it at #1. Also the Voyage blows me away too. Have yet to ride Fury or Arieforce one, hopefully by next year that support on Fury is fixed because that's one of my next goals.
after going to great adventure earlier this week and getting multiple rides on both jersey devil coaster and el toro, i have to say, i really think jdc has dethrowned el toro as my favorite in the park. i know its a very unpopular opinion but i also dont think jdc gets enough love. if you ride it in the back on a hot day like i did, that coaster is VIOLANT. I will say however great adventure is my home park and ive ridden el toro more than any other coaster, so I might just be desensitized and happy to be riding something new with jdc
I am surprised with how low you ranked Lightning Rod. I just ride that three weeks ago, and it's easily one of my top five favorite roller coasters. I don't even know how you thought this ride was quite tame because it was going fast from start to finish, and the back of my shirt kept flying out from all the airtime generated by those hills.
A back row ride on I305 has got to be my top spot as well. A front or back row ride on Iron Gwazi is a very close second for me with BGT as my home park. That said, I've only ridden a handful on this list and need to fix that sooner than later. Arie Force and Six Flags Great Adv for Ka and Toro will def be happening by next Summer. Cheers and great list!
Fury 325 has 1,500+ ft more track than I305, is 5mph faster, and has A LOT more air time than I305. In fact, you get very little air time on I305. It's just turns and turns and turns. Just when you think you'll get a pop of air, here comes (you guessed it) yet another turn! It's my least favorite giga in North America and I've ridden them all.
After last video, I was wondering if Iron Rattler would be on the list or if you are one of those people who put wonder woman above it (and I do mean that in a demeaning way). Thumbnail answered that!
I disagree with some of this list but yet still have a lot of credits to get as the young enthusiast I am with less than 100 credits but this is your opinion and I respect it.
It's nice to see Shivering Timbers on somebody's list again because for years it was toward the top of all wooden coasters in the world. Very few coasters telegraph visually exactly what they are as clearly as this one. When you pull up into the parking lot you can clearly see the entire ride and it looks massive, intimidating, and bonkers. It's so striking visually and certainly not like any other roller coaster you ever seen. It boldly and maniacally says HELLO I dare you double dog triple dog quadruple dog dog dog dog dog dare ya up and down up and down up and down up and down until you're begging for it to stop when it hits the helix at the end you're laughing hard enough to piss yourself. I would say it's akin to riding a bucking bronco or a bull in a china shop and you're the china LOL there's always a lot of talk about how awesome would be if it got the RMC treatment and while I think that's a fun idea I hope to God they never do it. I would love to see it's older sibling, at Michigan's Adventure, Wolverine Wildcat getting the RMC treatment though as it would make an excellent small-scale conversion. I will have to admit with your list I don't agree with everything but mostly it was quibbles and considering I've only rode about half of these it was hard to say however I'm surprised that The Beast ranked so low on your list because like Shivering Timbers there really is nothing else like it out there and you seem to respect that in a lot of your choices aside from the fact that it's a classic.. that said the fact that you put Shivering Timbers so high on your list I respect. I think it could have beat a few other things even but as one of my favorites of all time it's really nice to see it popping up again. I remember seeing your recent video of riding it and suspected when you publish part 1 of this list that it would show up in the last 25, and as I started watching part 2 I kept waiting by 19 I had figured it wasn't going to show up and then you surprise me and said exactly about the ride what IT wants you to... this is a wonderful thing. Pulling off White Hall rd the first time I saw that thing all of us in the car said WTF?!? And that's exactly what you're saying when you get off it LOL how the hell does this even exist especially here?!? LOL welcome to the club.
Get a night ride on Dimondback, Mystic, the beast, and on The Bat too. The bat at night is uber underrated, so ones it turns dark, hop on that first, as it will have the shortest line and is towards the front of the park
Very nice park. The nicest of the four Cedar Fair Parks I've been to. Also, it has a great ride line up to add to the niceness of the park. I went on a weekday four weeks ago, and it really wasn't too crowded. Not sure what it will be like if you're going on a weekend day. Diamondback had the longest waits of any of the coasters the entire day, so I'm guessing that should be the case as well on the day that you go.
Well gonna do a lot of these for the first time in august. Actually only rode one of them so far. And i defently not agree with x2. Might just be my personal taste but except that it was pretty intense i didn't find it very enjoyable you needed to ride to defensive to make it on my favorites list. Would i ride it again yeah sure it does have some (actally a lot of) good things but a ride ride you come out in pain, if you don't watch it, gets a lot of minus points. I guess if you ridden it lots of times you know instictivly how to handle it and it improves youre feeling but for me its not on my favorites list because of that aspect. I do want to say that first drop (the bottom hits a bit hard but who cares) actually the first half is really insanly good though.
I dont see Time Traveler anywhere in the Top Five? It is the Best Coaster in the 🇺🇸 hands down just like Ride to happiness is the best coaster in Europe hands down because Mack is number 1! change my mind

@@CoasterDash I guess, but you spend a lot of the ride in the same stretch of track slowing down and speeding up. I feel like you have zero momentum lol. I305 is also my number 1 tho because it’s basically the opposite of Pantheon.
Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) is a roller coaster manufacturer based out of Hayden, Idaho, who specializes in hybrid coasters where the rails are steel but the structure is wood. They’ve also built a few all-wood coasters called the topper track and a few single-rail coasters called raptor tracks. Hope that helps :)
@@CoasterDash Thanks for your reply and not bashing me for not knowing the coaster lingo. In the 90s and early 00s, I would take the "higher level" functioning adults from the group home that I worked at to Cedar Point!! We got paid mileage, our tickets into the park and parking and petty cash for whatever the patients wanted and we got some money too!!! We got rude stares at our patients, but me and my fellow employee /friend, snapped our heads around and looked a young man up and down then said, "What would you do if your child was born like this."It happened right as the car for the Magnum we were on started out the gate!

That Europe trip is right around the corner 👀👀👀
Just one week to go! 😆
I’m hyped asf 🔥
Astounding video as always! You probably have my favorite Top 50 in America of all time!
Wow, that’s high praise! Thank you so much 🙌🏻
@@CoasterDash No problem! 🚹
Currently El Toro is my #1. Maybe that’s cause I’ve only ridden 24 coasters but Toro’s probably the craziest ride I’ll ride for a while.
I went to King’s Dominion and I305 was closed all day. Seeing it at number one on your list almost made me cry lol. 😂
Ouch. Sorry 😅
maverick is crazy!!!! got my first ride yesterday and it shocked me
So happy to see Boardwalk Bullet made the cut for top 25! Easily my favorite roller coaster yet and one that a lot of people don't talk about. That coaster is the true definition of pure chaos.
I-305 was closed when I was at King’s Dominion. It’s one of my top bucket list coasters, it was so sad 😢
Love seeing my home park, Kings Dominion, represented in your top 25. I305 was my number one steel up until two months ago.
As for Twisted Timbers, it made me feel my age on my last visit. I tweaked my back on one of its many ejector air hills and no treadmill or trips to the gym for me that following week. I even went into work late one day because I was in so much pain. I probably should have bowed out of riding rides for the rest of the day after but I had to keep up with my two teen nieces and we hadn't even ridden I305 yet (along with Flight of Fear, retracked Grizzly, and a re-ride on TT).
My favorite coaster is stunt coaster or racer 75, I’m not surprised how those didn’t get on the list, but they are just so fun.
5:44 personally I put this in my top 5, it’s no doubt one of the craziest coasters out there
I don’t blame you! X2 is awesome.
Thank you for giving love to Pantheon, fantastic coaster
VERY solid ranking! I haven’t had the chance to ride I-305 yet but I can see it stands alone when it comes to level of intensity 🤘🏼 also, I think you have the best intro of any coaster RUclips channel. Keep it up broskie 👊🏼
Hey, thank you!! Really appreciate the comment.
I would never put Skyrush in front of Toro, but both are insane and I love them.
very solid list! more woodies then i thought
In an industry dominated by modern steel coaster manufacturers, it’s important to show some love to the woodies as well!
Great video! The U.S. has such an awesome collection of coasters! I'm really looking forward to your European Vlogs btw! Makes me wonder how much you would like Steel Curtain if you had ridden it.
Thanks Michael! I can’t wait for the Europe trip to start next week.

Cool list. I've been on almost all of your top 50 and the rankings are pretty solid. It's all a matter of opinion once you get into the really great coasters since IMO they are all 10/10
I LOVE SKYRUSH
Your right I,ve ridden Kingda ka and Top Thrill Dragster loads of times and every time I get scared sitting on the launch pad.
Great rankings -- although, I haven't yet ridden all of these coasters to have my own personal opinions on them all.

It used to be my #1 coaster until I rode Iron Gwazi and VelciCoaster. Then, after I rode ArieForce One for the first time back at the beginning of April, Fury moved down to my #4 spot.

I haven't been able to ride most of these rides, but my top three are all in your top five! I have The Voyage, Fury 325, and ArieForce One. Intimidator 305 is in my number 7 spot, but it is definitely the coaster I want to re-ride the most. I haven't been to Kings Dominion in over 10 years.
I have been on many of these coasters except.....Intimidator 305😢... Love the love to Vengeance...disappointed with the love to Gwazi...(should be higher ....😊)
I loved Wildcat's Revenge....I'm sure it will eventually be in your top 10.
I love that a lot of people dont like Skyrush cause it just means i can reride it again and again
Velocicoaster is my favorite! I have never been to cedar point though.
I visited Cedar Point for the first time a few days ago, and was blown away by Maverick. It has Skyrush level airtime, its more intense than i305, and its whippier than any B&M invert.
That’s a really bad take. CP is my home park.
@@joem8875 how? maverick is amazing.
I got a ride on skyrush (at park open) and it was less intense than maverick by a country mile must of not been warmed up
I agree, maverick is amazing.
I share a lot of opinions with your list! Great to see Shivering Timbers getting love 🤟
Thanks for the comment! 🙌🏻
DITTO THAT×2!
Voyage is a masterpiece to me
Finally got to ride I305 yesterday. Instantly fell in love with the sheer force of this ride. Somehow I didn’t gray out so idk what that says about me other than that I must be a speed junkie 😂
I love Intimidator 305 It might always be my #1
305 is number one if you're into intensity. A guaranteed grey out every time.
Great list! I305 was definitely an experience. I was pleasantly surprised to knock Wicked Cyclone to my #2 RMC after my visit to KD as well. Twisted Timbers is great! I actually prefer TT and WC to Steeve and Twisted Colossus.
going to dollywood tmrw! Lrod will defo make my top 5
Have fun! Dollywood is a fantastic theme park.
Most people leave their stomach behind on Kingda Ka. I leave my pants 😂
Cool to see Maverick on this list. I’m a bit of a baby (working on it!) when it comes to big coasters. But I worked my way up to it and rode it. Such an amazing coaster!
Happy to hear that! Keep it going 🙌🏻
Too bad Fury 325 is temp. closed for that HUGE HUGE!! crack in the tracks support column!! I hope it is back open in October when I am going for my 1st time there! Yikes....
Richard
Top 7 looks extra good.
Awesome list!! So happy to see more people giving Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster some love!! Those two are tied for my favorite roller coasters of all time!!!!
I honestly don't see anything ever beating I305 for me. MAYBE Eejanaika, but honestly that's really it. I almost didn't ride it again because I didn't think I could physically handle it, but I did anyway, because that's EXACTLY what I look for in a coaster.
I've ridden 49/50. I'm missing Kingda Ka, but hopefully this Saturday is the day I will be riding it. Here is my Top 50 US Coasters:
1. Steel Vengeance
2. Iron Gwazi
3. Velocicoaster
4. Lightning Rod
5. Arie Force One
6. SkyRush
7. El Toro
8. Twisted Timbers
9. Fury 325

Notable coasters I have not ridden: Kingda Ka, Jersey Devil, Monster (Adventureland), and Cyclone (Luna Park). And I have my first Europa coaster trip next month.
I'm glad to see Pantheon getting some well deserved love. I will admit that I still think BGW failed with the theming and presentation and that they could have done so much. But if you just look at the layout it is amazing.
Also, totally agree that Steel Vengeance still has it and it's still better than the competition including Iron Gwazi. Very solid list Marc.
I respect the hell out of i305 at the #1 spot. Totally agree. Fantastic ride

Great list. I am planning to go to the US next year to finally riding some of "your" coasters after having ridden many of the best European coasters. I305 ist also way up in our bucket list and we can't wait to check out SteVe. How will it compare to Zadra :-)!
my #1 coaster is skyrush, but the best ride of my life was on i305. Backrow zen ride at 9:55pm in 36 degree weather on the last train of the season. What a wild ride
Also a big fan of I305. I agree with most of the list but I honestly think you may have a little recency bias with Arie Force One. It's good don't get me wrong but for me it's one of the most painful rides out there. Up until the end it's absolutely perfect but that quad down into the brake run destroys me. It seems like opinions change based on size and I am 6ft5 so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I have it ranked #9 out of 211, one spot above Twisted Colossus
I rode AF1 months ago. No recency bias.
I didn't enjoy the Voyage nearly as much as you..... Beast any day over Voyage for me. Fury 325 is unreal... haven't been on it for like 10 years though lol
It’s good to see a roller coaster that’s at my home theme park on a list at number 1! I’ve only gone to Busch gardens Williamsburg and KD and intimidator is def number 1 for me. The intensity is unreal
i’m so happy that i live within 5 minutes of one of ur top 5, (not saying which one cuz that’s stupid)
Respect for not going with the IG hype and doing a fair ranking of it
I feel like your the only one that appreciates pantheon.. def in my top 10... and you having i-305 at one whoa
Representing Virginia the way they should be represented 🙌🏻
FR I 305 is at my home park and my number 1 number 2 is iron gawazi and number 3 is twisted timbers
With X2 off my bucket list and toping my favorite coasters list by a mile, I-305 is my next target on my bucket list. I’ve always though intensity was more fun than airtime and I can’t wait for the day I can get out to Virginia
wow. Crazy how much we differ
Awesome list it's good to see so many wooden coasters included imo people tend to underrate them.
Some wooden coasters are just as good as their steel counterparts 🙌🏻
Surprised Roarasaurus at Storyland did not make the list! It should be in the top 50, or at least an honorable mention!
He hasn’t been on it yet
You have the exact same top 3 I do in the same order!
Nice list 😉
Great set of videos. Can't believe my home park got the number 4 spot. AFO is such a dream to ride and to live just a couple minutes away from it I just feel blessed haha.
I really want to make my way around the US to ride most of these, especially voyage. Just like you said, it looks magical and i hope it is when i ride it!
Marc, I love the list, both of them. As someone from the Midwest's Great Lake Region, I feel we were represented well and blessed to have great coasters in our area. Have a good one sir!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Have you ridden cosmic rewind at Disney’s Epcot? If so then I am super surprised it did not make it in the top 50
I like your list! Not filled with the typical (yawn) top 10-15. Nice to see some love given to coasters that receive a lot of unjustified hate these days. Millie, Orion, X2 and I-305. I haven't ridden I-305 or Skyrush yet. But they are on my bucket list. And I am sure they will be in my top tier.
Another banger
🙏🏻
I was sweating hoping X2 was making the list. My boy didn't disappoint!
I've only ever ridden 2 hyper coasters I think is what there called, and that was the hulk buster coaster and the raptor coaster at universal studios. I rode the raptor coaster when it was only a week or two old and boy was it an experience I loved. Anaways I'm going to six flags new England in Massachusetts and I'm exited to ride a wooden coaster for the first time, the superman one and also the other I think sum like cyclone or sum idk
Great list! I appreciate that you don't automatically place Iron Gwazi in first place. I feel like way too many people overhype the ride. And that's not to say it's not a great ride, it's actually my #3 overall, but so many people act like it's the end all be all of coasters and that nothing else can or ever will touch it. I think it's suffered from the newness factor. While the ride is definitely fast and intense, I feel like it's essentially a rehash of many other RMCs, just taking most of the best elements and putting them into one. I still place Steel Vengeance and Velocicoaster above IG. SV because of the length, setting, intensity, and just overall grandiosity, and VC for the setting, theming, pacing and uniqueness. The juxtaposition of the initial confusion of the twisted mess in the raptor paddock then rolling into the ramped up second half is a fascinating journey, something that really no other coaster in the U.S. offers. Also, the ops on IG really turned me off and I try not to let that hinder my opinion on a ride but man the ride ops are almost unforgiveable. I305 is a great coaster too and I can appreciate you placing it at #1. Also the Voyage blows me away too. Have yet to ride Fury or Arieforce one, hopefully by next year that support on Fury is fixed because that's one of my next goals.
Such an awesome list, Intimidator 305 for the win!
Wonder where Wildcat's Revenge ranks now that you've gotten sone rides on it.
California's getting another coaster that will likely be on this list. It's confirmed. Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift is official
after going to great adventure earlier this week and getting multiple rides on both jersey devil coaster and el toro, i have to say, i really think jdc has dethrowned el toro as my favorite in the park. i know its a very unpopular opinion but i also dont think jdc gets enough love. if you ride it in the back on a hot day like i did, that coaster is VIOLANT. I will say however great adventure is my home park and ive ridden el toro more than any other coaster, so I might just be desensitized and happy to be riding something new with jdc
Finally someone who agrees with me that X2 is better than twisted colossus
I am surprised with how low you ranked Lightning Rod. I just ride that three weeks ago, and it's easily one of my top five favorite roller coasters. I don't even know how you thought this ride was quite tame because it was going fast from start to finish, and the back of my shirt kept flying out from all the airtime generated by those hills.
A back row ride on I305 has got to be my top spot as well. A front or back row ride on Iron Gwazi is a very close second for me with BGT as my home park. That said, I've only ridden a handful on this list and need to fix that sooner than later. Arie Force and Six Flags Great Adv for Ka and Toro will def be happening by next Summer. Cheers and great list!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Fury 325 has 1,500+ ft more track than I305, is 5mph faster, and has A LOT more air time than I305. In fact, you get very little air time on I305. It's just turns and turns and turns. Just when you think you'll get a pop of air, here comes (you guessed it) yet another turn! It's my least favorite giga in North America and I've ridden them all.
you gotta get on wildcat's revenge. thing is an absolute powerhouse. i think you'd love it
Hoping to ride it in August!
@@CoasterDash It's a blast :)
I held to my word. You put in the wtf is a kilometer, thus i liked. 1:17
based
After last video, I was wondering if Iron Rattler would be on the list or if you are one of those people who put wonder woman above it (and I do mean that in a demeaning way).
Thumbnail answered that!
I disagree with some of this list but yet still have a lot of credits to get as the young enthusiast I am with less than 100 credits but this is your opinion and I respect it.
It's nice to see Shivering Timbers on somebody's list again because for years it was toward the top of all wooden coasters in the world. Very few coasters telegraph visually exactly what they are as clearly as this one. When you pull up into the parking lot you can clearly see the entire ride and it looks massive, intimidating, and bonkers. It's so striking visually and certainly not like any other roller coaster you ever seen. It boldly and maniacally says HELLO I dare you double dog triple dog quadruple dog dog dog dog dog dare ya up and down up and down up and down up and down until you're begging for it to stop when it hits the helix at the end you're laughing hard enough to piss yourself. I would say it's akin to riding a bucking bronco or a bull in a china shop and you're the china LOL there's always a lot of talk about how awesome would be if it got the RMC treatment and while I think that's a fun idea I hope to God they never do it.
I would love to see it's older sibling, at Michigan's Adventure, Wolverine Wildcat getting the RMC treatment though as it would make an excellent small-scale conversion. I will have to admit with your list I don't agree with everything but mostly it was quibbles and considering I've only rode about half of these it was hard to say however I'm surprised that The Beast ranked so low on your list because like Shivering Timbers there really is nothing else like it out there and you seem to respect that in a lot of your choices aside from the fact that it's a classic.. that said the fact that you put Shivering Timbers so high on your list I respect. I think it could have beat a few other things even but as one of my favorites of all time it's really nice to see it popping up again. I remember seeing your recent video of riding it and suspected when you publish part 1 of this list that it would show up in the last 25, and as I started watching part 2 I kept waiting by 19 I had figured it wasn't going to show up and then you surprise me and said exactly about the ride what IT wants you to... this is a wonderful thing. Pulling off White Hall rd the first time I saw that thing all of us in the car said WTF?!? And that's exactly what you're saying when you get off it LOL how the hell does this even exist especially here?!? LOL welcome to the club.
I am going to kings island in a few days. Do you have any tips for me or anything to say about it?
Kings Island is an awesome park! I don’t have very many tips to give since most of their roller coasters have great capacity numbers.
Get a night ride on Dimondback, Mystic, the beast, and on The Bat too. The bat at night is uber underrated, so ones it turns dark, hop on that first, as it will have the shortest line and is towards the front of the park
@@koalakyle19I’d say a night ride on each of the big 5 should be in order! They are all fantastic 🙌🏻
I’ll try to get night rides on what I can, but I’m going with family so I might not have enough time
Very nice park. The nicest of the four Cedar Fair Parks I've been to. Also, it has a great ride line up to add to the niceness of the park. I went on a weekday four weeks ago, and it really wasn't too crowded. Not sure what it will be like if you're going on a weekend day. Diamondback had the longest waits of any of the coasters the entire day, so I'm guessing that should be the case as well on the day that you go.
Great list!!
Thank you!
7:22-7:30 I feel the exact same about Twisted Colossus with how people only talk about how it doesn’t duel and therefore isn’t that good
I totally understand that! Twisted Colossus is still absolutely incredible when it isn’t dueling.
@@CoasterDash I wish more people thought the same
Why does everybody complain about the theming of Pantheon and not the actual ride itself
I saw you in Custer state park how was your view
NIight Night : The Ride aka GG ( G.O.A.T. Giga) The CHAMP! Im proud to see it.
Shout out to Legend. 8 of your top 10 are in my top 10
🙌🏻🙌🏻
Well gonna do a lot of these for the first time in august. Actually only rode one of them so far. And i defently not agree with x2. Might just be my personal taste but except that it was pretty intense i didn't find it very enjoyable you needed to ride to defensive to make it on my favorites list. Would i ride it again yeah sure it does have some (actally a lot of) good things but a ride ride you come out in pain, if you don't watch it, gets a lot of minus points. I guess if you ridden it lots of times you know instictivly how to handle it and it improves youre feeling but for me its not on my favorites list because of that aspect. I do want to say that first drop (the bottom hits a bit hard but who cares) actually the first half is really insanly good though.
13:39 Is it just me or does the track look brown there?
El Toro at 10 like bruh its like 7 6 or 5
I don’t get the appeal of laterals, do people actually like being pushed against the side of their seat? I just find it uncomfortable and annoying
I dont see Time Traveler anywhere in the Top Five? It is the Best Coaster in the 🇺🇸 hands down just like Ride to happiness is the best coaster in Europe hands down because Mack is number 1! change my mind
What is your favourite Roller Coaster, if i305 is your #2?

Sorry I forgot Zippin Pippin Shivering Timbers Legend Twisted Timbers and Boardwalk Bullet
maverickk is my #1 so imma hold yout to high standards
Sorry dawg, Pantheon’s pacing keeps it from even being in my top 25. You never really get out of second gear. Basically Ice Breaker +.
That’s what I don’t understand. I think Pantheon has some of the best pacing in the world, especially once you clear the swing launch 😅
@@CoasterDash I guess, but you spend a lot of the ride in the same stretch of track slowing down and speeding up. I feel like you have zero momentum lol. I305 is also my number 1 tho because it’s basically the opposite of Pantheon.
RMC ruins every good woodie.
I’m unsubscribing if you and Jesiah don’t eat paella or patatas bravas🇪🇸 or don’t yell FINLAND once you arrive in Finland. Jk, right on lil’ dude👍🏻🎢
I’ll keep those in mind 😆
@@CoasterDash In Patrick’s voice😂🤣😂
Legend at 18 . I hate this ride so painful voyage and raven are wayyy better
What does RMC mean?
Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) is a roller coaster manufacturer based out of Hayden, Idaho, who specializes in hybrid coasters where the rails are steel but the structure is wood. They’ve also built a few all-wood coasters called the topper track and a few single-rail coasters called raptor tracks. Hope that helps :)
@@CoasterDash Thanks for your reply and not bashing me for not knowing the coaster lingo. In the 90s and early 00s, I would take the "higher level" functioning adults from the group home that I worked at to Cedar Point!! We got paid mileage, our tickets into the park and parking and petty cash for whatever the patients wanted and we got some money too!!! We got rude stares at our patients, but me and my fellow employee /friend, snapped our heads around and looked a young man up and down then said, "What would you do if your child was born like this."It happened right as the car for the Magnum we were on started out the gate!
