“ no elite coasters.”
Me looking at the original Batman the ride.
I love this take 🫶
Is it me or is Raging Bull becoming “classic elite ?
@@singthelongswansongIt honestly is this season. The trims are barely hitting. And about a month ago, I got basically trimless rides in 95-deg heat. It was incredible. Better than it’s ever run (post-pandemic, at least).
@@stonerthoosie it’s got such a weird reputation I love it…. I mean it’s Raging Bull - Great name, killer color scheme.
@@singthelongswansong I love that it’s so slept on and running so good. Means more rides for us lol
Also that’s the first Batman ever , first bm invert ever. Not a clone
🫶
i mean it’s still a clone regardless. same exact ride as the other million batman’s
@@coastingalongNo…it’s not. Tell me which of those other imitators has an ACE plaque.
@@stonerthoosie its a clone and you can’t tell me otherwise
@@coastingalong Lol ok, bud.
Batman is probably the most intense coaster I have ever rode. I almost went there today.
It’s my most ridden coaster and it’s still the most consistently intense ride at the park. I love Batman.
Very intense
Which one there’s six different Batman’s?
@@kevinthompson6986 the first one at SFGA
@@covertzebra SFGAm*
(SFGAd is the other “SFGA” 😉)
Six flags made viper in house.
Also, it is an underrated park it’s rare that every coaster is good and yes it needs a giga or one giant standout and supposedly it’s coming next year….they take care of that park.
I’m at KI right now taking a break in the shade watching this vid. These woods are KILLING me😳
Diamondback is awesome.
I bought FastLane for today
so I can get on everything!
I must say after being to CP this park seems so small!
That’s awesome you’re at kings island. I hope you have so much fun
It's insane to think about, but I believe they cover the exact same acreage...
my homepark maxxforce goes from 0 to 78 mph in 1.8 secs
Great chillin’ with you gentlemen for some rides at my home park 🤙🎢
Thanks for meeting up
viper is the only rollercoaster built in house by Six flags, not Dinn
Nice to see you guys at my local park. Well about 2 hours away from me. Great job on the video. Thank you for sharing this video much appreciated.
Did you know that the wait times in the app are based on rough estimates of the employees? My friend works there and he adds 15 minutes to his guess so that less people come to his ride!
It goes by ride capacity. If a ride puts through 1000 people per hour and the line reaches an area that fits about 1000 people, it’ll be an hour wait.
No lie, Demon's first drop in the back car is maybe the best ejector airtime in the entire park.
There is so much history at that park and such an eclectic collection of roller coasters. Very logical layout. It's an amazing park.
We enjoyed the park
Just had a great time there this weekend, great park
“Let’s look for a big ol’ dive coaster” …. well, now you will be able to in 2025 lol
We’re psychic
You'll be missed
Deja vu
Iron wolf
Shockwave
Wrath of Rocksasha please be amazing. 4d coaster maybe
as someone that grew up down the street from this park I do agree that this park needs an elite coaster. The park definitely had some back in the 80's and 90's but now a days I would say it's a solid park but nothing special.
Skip the lines are not flash passes. They skip the ride wait time for you to return instead of waiting in the cue lines. Flash pass depending on gold 50% less wait or ultimate instant ride. This is our home park and have all season ultimate flash passes never wait for bigger rides! Great video and thanks for the visit to our park!
You register for each ride via the flash pass site
This is my home park. The best time to go is always in the summer when all the rides are open. Glad to see you enjoyed yourself! It is always crowded in the summer but in the fall and spring it's normally pretty chill. Although some rides might not be open due to the midwest weather. Whizzer is definitely one of my personal favorite. Little fun fact, years ago they tried to tear it down but the Illinois and neighboring states costumers contested it because it's a fan favorite. I always ride it whenever I go to SFGA. Fun Fact: Batman the ride is actually the original one that was first created. It debuted at SFGA. Another Fun Fact: You might've seen some Looney Tunes characters because Six flags had a contract with Hannah Barbara and was able to use its characters and likeness.
Glad to see this one. This is our next closest SF to our home park, SFSTL.
We made it to both of those parks this season and we’ll definitely give the edge to great America. But I think that’s kind of obvious
maxx force accelerates faster since hydraulic launches are unreliable and rarely reach their full advertised speed, also thorpe park advertising has a track record of being off.
I just love you guys so much just wanted to say that. It’s a great story your summer together and the content just keeps coming and it’s so real watching the days you have without the perks a lot of coaster RUclipsrs flaunt. My favorite coaster vlog.
Very nice for you to say. Thanks for watching
the park looks lovely. my issue with B&M wing coasters (ok I've only been on Gatekeeper) is it's really hard for my short ass to get into those trains. my goal is to increase my strength to make it easier. can't exactly grow taller
I love watching your videos. I live 50 miles from six flags great escape in lake George ny have you guys been there? It's probably too small for you guys lol
We go to smaller parks all the time. We have not been there yet
Dang i havent been in so long. Wild to see the trees grown in around supermans queue
Viper was built in house by six flags
Such a fun video! We haven't been there yet, but we're only 4 hours away, so we should. I just looked up the flash pass system, and it looks kind of confusing with the 3 different tiers (unfamiliar may be the better word). In any case, looks like you guys had a fun day! Thank you!
Definitely recommend checking it out. And the flash pass system is definitely inferior to other systems at most every other park.
My GF and I have been to SFGAmer twice. We definitely enjoy the park. It's clean and has some really fun coasters. The ride operations were improved this year from our visit last year. Our favorite coasters are: Goliath, Superman, Maxx Force, Raging Bull, XFlight. I totally agree with you about their coaster lineup, they need a signature coaster. Cedar Point is also our home park so it's hard not to compare every park to it. But we really enjoy SFGAmer, and will go again if in the area.
Definitely a fun park. Better than most of the other six flags parks.
@@BeachcliffStudios I just got back from my first trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain. For me I'd have to rank it above Great America because of the coaster lineup. X2 was insane and I loved Wonder Woman. I'd still say CP has the slight edge over MM though.
I always wanted to visit there for Flash Vertical Velocity, Batman the ride Giant Drop.
Hope you get to go
@@BeachcliffStudios Someday I will. I went to Carowinds and Kings Dominion, rode every ride except Kiddy hawk, and Woodstock express at Carowinds. Did fit on Vortex stand up coasters, Nighthawk was unenjoyable rough on my shoulders. Fury Afterburn without using double belts Thunder Striker formally Intimidator I rode a lot of times, also Copperhead Strike, Electro Spin with just one push of the shoulder harness to get the sensor light 🟡. Kings Dominion, Tried Twisted Timbers RMC for the first time, but restraints hurt 🤕. Did a lot of rides on Drop Tower at Kings Dominion 272 feet with the speed of 72 mph, same at Carowinds. Fit on Flight Of Fear there, had to used row 2 even rows, rode Project 305, Dominator floorless coaster Tumbili Apple Zapple Grizzly Racer 75 Blacklot Stunt coaster. and everything else.
Those Bumper Cars are on the largest Bumper Car Floor in America.
Yo, yall shoulda kept that QR Code on the screen for a while, let the investigators solve it. Someone said if it was Eagle, they might be RMC-ing eagle.
I was kinda bummed as I haven't lost a Wordle since early 2023
With it cleaned up, it will definitely be Elite.
I have to say that entrance needs an update
We didn’t mind it
I rode sky striker on June 22 opening day for it and it was amazing and it’s definitely better then the Huss frisbees at cedar point and kings island
We prefer the old huss models
Great to meet you guys in line for Goliath!
Thanks for saying hello
Rattle
.. roughness... riding defensively... my how times have changed... it's nothing like the Arrow mega loopers nor.... forget it. It's a great ride and not another forces less B&M. Better than hydra and talon
Not sure what you’re referring to
Great vlog guys! I was anticipating this one and yinz did a great job, I was not disappointed ( I never am. I truly enjoy these vlogs!) Really great editing by the way. Curious to know what the big 250 credits gonna be for Milo! That parade looked fun and I’m glad yall enjoyed yourselves. I feel like this park is right in the middle. It’s not quite elite, nor is it mediocre. From what I can tell, it’s definitely one of the better six flags( not a huge fan of them. Can’t wait to see what cedar fairs does to improve them) Thanks for another great vlog. Can’t wait to see where you go next!
Thanks for all the support, glad you enjoyed. We’re not sure which coaster will be 250, that’s a mystery to us all. 🤣
Park needs a giga
Don’t even think a giga, just that top tier ride no matter what it is
@BeachcliffStudios rumors now are that they'll get the first axis coaster next year (because a post by the park had a teaser phrase about a new ride coming soon, where the only letters capitalized were S,S,A so people are thinking s+s Axis). That would be shocking and exciting for sure. But that ride system, unique as it is, only pulls 2.5 gs so it wont be super intense.
I still think they need a ride that is just long, amazing, reliable. Something like fury would not take away bull's appeal. I could say mack hyper or xtreme spinner, a multi launch, a tilt coaster, obviously just list a bunch of unlikely attractions. But truly just one of these done correctly would do the trick. A single rail would be funnand frankly I think a dive would be a waste of money. Theyre a dime a dozen now. As unique as an axis would be, im not sure it would be that "elite" coaster since nobody has ridden any yet.
I was there a bunch in 2019, three times in 2023 and twice in 2024
I think most here do consider Raging Bull as their Elite coaster.
It’s definitely their best coaster. Our friend who we were with is local to that park and he thinks Batman is their best though.
I dont like the six flags flash pass. cedar fairs fastlane is much better. I thought goliath was a weak rmc, and raging bull is the weakest B&M hyper I have done.
I was just at Great Adventure Friday, Sunday at Dorney and Monday at Knobles. Lines were all very short and most a walk on. My daughter is a coaster freak so we were on a coaster tour. We are also from the CLE area and at CP once a week. I got to ride the same Demon Drop at Geauga Lake, CP and now Dorney. Enjoy these days with you son, my daughter is almost 16 and I am trying to spend as much time as I can while she is young.
Yeah, somebody stole your drink cups out of the bushes that you threw them in before you got on the ride
Yes
This is my home park!
when did you visit? it looked busier than usual
Thursday the 18th
Who is the guy that seems to be hanging around with ya……LOL ?
That’s our friend Evan that’s from that area. He met us up there for a few rides.
Where will you achieve number 250 Milo?
We’re not totally sure yet. A few ideas but nothing is concrete for our next trip
Og batman
Where to next?
Not sure, we have some plans but nothing fully figured out yet
Gate-sleeper
great park, yall are just mad
to be fair, you went on what looks to be a saturday which is why you had a bad experience.
Go on a tuesday and it is an amazing park
Huh?
@@BeachcliffStudios it’s better than great adventure
That’s kinda what I thought about the Park when I visited it……that it was sorta mediocre.
It’s hard to say that because they have so many coasters but without at least one stand out ride it’s kind of what it is.
@@BeachcliffStudios no stand out ride? That is certainly a take
@@asudevil316 what do you feel like their stand out coaster is? One that would make someone’s top 20.
@@BeachcliffStudios could be Raging Bull, some would say Goliath, some would say Maxx Force, some could say Batman. The overall point is that the park is loaded with coasters
@@asudevil316 it is loaded with coasters but Goliath is constantly the worst rmc people have ridden, raging bull is fun but it’s not a top five hyper, maxx force is fun but nothing special. There’s nothing wrong with the park, we had a lot of fun. But it’s just missing that one elite coaster. Nothing to be defensive about.
