Lagoon is my home park and I used to work there as a ride operator. I didn't work either Schwarzkopf, but I do remember having to be a test rider for Jet Star 2 on several occasions when I finished by morning inspections on the ride I would be working that day, since the toboggans need to be loaded with people to properly test the brakes. I used to love it as a kid, but nowadays it's very easy to get whiplash on it. Also, the middle seat can sit up to 3 people, and more of than not, the attendants will be yelling if there's a single rider available to fill an odd number of riders. Still, I have a ton of memories of it and glad you got to enjoy it!
Mindbender at West Edmonton Mall's galaxyland (my home park) Is the best schwarzkopf ever made. 5.7 G's on the loops and a super intense layout! One of, if not the most intense coaster I've ever been on
My favourite is Olympia Looping, so relentless in its forcefulness. I do have fond memories of the jet star 2 and jet star 3 / jumbo jet models though (Black Hole and Beast at Alton Towers) they were really good fun to ride.
Sooper Dooper Looper was my first coaster with an inversion that I went on so I can agree with you when you said that it’s a good coaster to introduce kids to inversions
My favorite Schwarzkopf coaster to ever operate was The Black Hole at Alton Towers, it was a Jet Star 2 covered in a large tent, nothing felt more intense at the time than going round those tight turns while in complete darkness. It unfortunately closed in 2005.
Mindbender is at my home park and I routinely take advantage of the short lines since the gp seem to want to flock to newer, flashier coasters. You deserve way more subs. Keep plugging away with great content like this and your channel will get the shine it deserves.
I’ve only ridden one Schwarzkopf so far, and that’s the other Mindbender in West Edmonton Mall. It’s a great coaster over all but the only downside is that the cars have over the shoulder restraints I find those to be really uncomfortable. Most of the coaster is left turns into sweeping drops. The max G force is 5 G’s at the end of the first loop.
Montezooma's Revenge is GREAT! I'm in the exact same boat, my first looping coaster was this as well! In 1994 my family visited family at Disneyland, and the last day we went to Knotts, and I worked up courage to ride this near the end of the night... we ended up marathoning it I loved it so much! It still holds up and I'm glad there's a select number of enthusiasts who love MR (and Schwarzkoph's in general) as well! Keep up the great content!
Yeah I do 😅. I didn't really have much time to bring that up because I was on the clock and I had guests to serve. I knew I only had about a minute to chat and I just wasn't sure what to say in that amount of time. Your vlog of you at Magic Mountain hitting capacity was in my recommendations and that's how I found you. I showed that video to a few friends to show off how packed that place was. Then a few days went by and the next thing I know, I see you standing in line at the Churro Cart xD. My channel isn't necessarily related to theme parks, but I am an enthusiast. I've been visiting Magic Mountain ever since I was 11. Back then I used to visit several times a year. Just recently I visited Six Flags Great Adventure last October. Had a great time. El Toro was my favorite ride there. Hope to see you around again soon!
I´m from Germany in my mid 50ies and the Jet Star coaster often could be seen on travelling fun fairs throughout the country. The seating, while seemingly beeing uncomfortable for people who don´t know each other, was VERY popular among teen couples because they could come very close during the ride. You got the picture. 😉 Same with some carnival rides like Enterprise, Himalaya Ride/ Music Express. In my country teenage kids (15+) usually go to the fun faires without their parents but with their peer group.
MindBender is my 1st Roller Coaster with inversions. It’s still a solid and fun ride. Plus the line is practically never long these days so I can get a few rides in on. It’s a nostalgic favorite.
I’m pretty much the ultimate fan of Mind Bender at 6 Flags over Georgia! Definitely my best anticipated 1978 Schwarzkopf double loop roller coaster with the tunnel towards the end after the second loop. Of course I did 2 pivot head POVs and the drop of the Mind Bender was not all that bad that I felt comfortable putting my 2 hands in the air. Also I did get a little bit of air time. But one of my favorite elements is the 45 degree angle helix sending you 45 degrees to the ground and another 45 degree angle upward helix going back up at the top speed of 50 mph in advance.
I've only gotten to ride revolution and montezooma and I gotta say those two rides are really good considering how old they are. I love the circular shaped loops rather than the more common teardrop shapes of today
There is nothing wrong with it, it's just small and unimpressive compared to the other coasters in the park. I will say it could use better theming but I honestly don't know what could be done to make that happen.
Lily Chancey Since Mexico doesn’t have as strict inspections the coaster still used the original wheel bogeys, and one of them broke of the train killing 2 people. Though there is a good chance it will open back up, but probably not until 2021 or so
Coaster Clutch I doubt it will be back up at that park, quimera has moved 3 times in its history and it will probably move again, since people near that park most likely won’t want to ride it.
I rode Wildcat at Cedar Point, Scorpion at Jolly Roger, King Kobra at Kings Dominion, Sooperdooperlooper, and the one at Dorney Park. Not sure of the name.
It has a poor reputation because of an accident, but Mindbender at Galaxyland is actually a pretty fun ride. It's got super intense g's though, so it's kinda hard to marathon
Sooper Dooper Looper was my very first inverted coaster I ever went on, it was in 1992. I immediately fell in love with inverted coasters from that point on. But, Montezuma's Revenge is my favorite Schwarzkopf coaster 🙃
Living in Florida and having Busch gardens as my home park, scorpion was the first coaster I ever rode. I'd never ride it again though. It sucks tbh. Last few times I went it was closed tho
This video has such a nostalgic resonance for me. The Scorpion in Tampa's Busch Gardens is the very first roller coaster I rode on! I remember being so scared of coasters growing up... but the Scorpion was the perfect introduction to the coaster world for me! It not only dispelled my fears...but also helped to engender the love I have for them now! Sadly, I no longer reside in America...as I would have LOVED to ride this park's later addition of coasters (looking at you, Cheetah Run!!!!). Sigh.... thanks for posting this video! You really have helped to evoke so many pleasant memories of years gone by!!!
His coasters are the BEST. Any time someone says Arrow coasters are rough because they're old, didn't have the technology, etc, no. Schwarzkopf has made some fantastically smooth rides and they're often very intense
shockwave at dusk with the little fairground lights twinkling around and the river below and just....just....it's beautiful. it's my favorite coaster ever.
Montezooma’s Revenge was the coaster I rode the most when I went to Knott’s. It’s the first and only Shuttle Loop I’ve ridden and it’s short but great. Wish I could say more but I haven’t been to Knott’s in 6 years
I first rode Whizzer back in 2017. That first turn definitely threw me off. It banked hard and whipped me to the side of the train. I was not expecting that at all
Shockwave looks like the better layout, but Mindbender has a much prettier setting to run it's course. I don't have a problem with it being ranked 3 since the only choices above it are a sentimental favorite and what looks to be the best Schwarzkopf in the country.
Great list, for coasters of their type both Jet Star 2 and the Colossus the Fire Dragon have stood the test of time when you consider how many how been torn down or scrapped watching that video was like going back in time.
Thanks for the Frontier City mention! Hopefully Six Flags can renovate it into a great park again. It could really use one of those launch coasters that don't take up a lot of room; like Tempesto at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. That would be the perfect size for that park and not be too crazy of an investment for Six Flags.
I'm glad to see Jet Star 2 so high up. It is so intense! One of those coasters where the roughness adds to the experience. And requiring a partner means you might make a new friend.
Good list. I’m surprised to see Montezooma’s Revenge so high but I loved that ride when I rode it. You do get a cool weightlessness feeling on the spikes and it’s very rare!
Sooper Dooper Looper is the only Schwarzkopf I’ve been on, and it holds sentimental value because it was my first looping coaster. I’d love to get on the others though.
I'm glad you didn't ride Quimera as La Feria literally ran it into the ground. It's being relocated at this moment for refurbishment at Indiana Beach Amusement Park. Hopefully you can ride it there when the trim brakes are reinstalled and new trains are added.
Had the pleasure of riding olympia looping at hyde park winter wonderland in london the other week, you need to plan a european trip that meets where it is set up and operating, amazing coaster
1:48 Yes! I hope so too! Frontier City is my closest park. I got to ride 2 defunct Schwarzkopf's from Astroworld back in the day. And yes, you are so old! When I was your age, my coaster count was 25, and the tame coasters still gave me quite a thrill. My enjoyment of coasters has only grown as I've gotten older. I've never had any kind of grey-out on Shockwave, but those are quite rare for me. 6. Scorpion 5. New Revolution 4. Montezooma's Revenge/Greezed Lightnin' 3. Silver Bullet/Viper(Astroworld) 2. Mind Bender 1. Shockwave
I remember going on Douple Looping when it was at Yonkers Raceway for the Westchester County fair. My first looping coaster. I also got to go on King Cobra when it was at Jolly Roger in Ocean City after it moved from Kings Dominion.
Scorpion still has one of the most forceful moments at Busch Gardens. That 900 degree helix at the end is no joke either. I hope the accident doesn't put parks off this model but rather starts a new development cycle. Can't a company with money like B&M step in to provide legacy maintenance on a fellow German's body of significant works?
My Top 3 that I’ve ridden 3.Scorpion 2.Silver Bullet 1.Shockwave I personally love ridding these coasters. As a younger Enthusiast, I didn’t get to experience these when they were even close to opening, but I still like stepping back in time. I don’t know why, but I have a little soft spot for these coasters
Well I’ve only been on 2 being sooper dooper looper and scorpion. I refuse to ride scorpion anymore and sooper dooper looper was my first coaster with an inversion so it holds a special place in my heart
idk if this will make it seem a little better, but mind bender at over georgia was my first real coaster when i was probably 5. most locals see it more as a starter coaster for children because of the pretty short height limit, but i can definitely understand the disappointment since the coaster is so raved about. i’d be disappointed too if i didn’t grow up with it lmao
If you ever make it to Europe, try to get a ride on "Nessie" in nothern Germany before it disappears. It's a really old coaster, it was the first stationary vertical looping coaster in Europe IIRC. It's being changed a little bit currently, getting new theming and a new station building, but they're not touching the track (which has been likened to a wooden coaster) or the brakes (in a tin metal tunnel, quite loud) and people keep saying that Nessie's days are numbered due to age, spare parts and also safety-concerns (inverting coaster with only lap bars)
but Olympia Looping is freakin insane omg.... the inversions are very intense and the whole thing feels very out of control and is amazing, I managed to get to ride it on accident in Vienna when it was at Prater
But it's no Schwarzkopf coaster. Sorry, man! (Yes, it follows the heritage of Schwarzkopf's coasters, and it looks like one, but it was built after Schwarzkopf went bankrupt and therefore was built by someone else.)
It would be really interesting to see what you think of Lisebergsbanan at Liseberg, which is said to have been the favorite Schwarzkopf designed roller coaster of none other than Anton Schwarzkopf himself.
Hey man! Just wanted to say your vids are quality and you deserve more subs. I binge these lol. Hope you have a great day and get more subs on RUclips soon!
Shockwave is at my home park sixflags over Texas and the park management maintain this ride to a T. Every other year they take section of the track and have it welded and reprofiled.
Hey Airtime thrills, so My #1 is the soooperdooperlooper at hershey park and my homepark is six flags america and It is not all that bad if you go on a day where it is a Little busy the rides won't be down. My last visit every thing was running realy well and the only ride Closure was the wild one for about 10 minutes .It depands on the day your there because some days a lot of rides are down but some days all the rides are open and running. But I agree. It needs a stand-out coaster. Also six flags america finally discovered a thing called running 2 trains!
Just rode Quimera at La Feria de Chapultepec Mágico in Mexico City and the addition of the cringy shoulder restraints was totally needed. Interesting how friction wheels are all lined up for the entire lift. You get crazy ejector airtime for most of the ride, and you will need to make a chiropractic appointment afterwards. Ouch.
Whizzer may have survived, but the Zambezi Zinger didn’t. I consider Zinger also being at number 7 since it shares the same layout. Perfect family coaster, just like you said.
Me I think Mindbender should first place Mindbender has a beautiful terrain one the most extreme helix and loops on a looping coaster and it park is better than six flags over texas. Come on and u put a flywheel one trick pony in front of Mindbender.
Mindbender does have a cool terrain layout but doesnt pull the forces that Shockwave does. Or even the forces that Montezooma does (tho Monte gets extra points for being a sentimental favorite)
If I'm not mistaken that Revolution coaster is the same one that was initially at Liberty Land in Memphis, TN and used to be Elvis Presley's favorite coaster
Whizzer was my very first coaster (I think) so I definitely have a massive soft spot for it. Shock Wave didn't make me grey out, but my arms actually were pulled down so hard I got a bruise on my elbow in the second to back row (SFOT has this weird rule where there have to be two people in the last row, it makes no sense).
Anton Schwarzkopf was such an amazing engineer, rip to a legend
Well I’ve ridden two of these so here’s my top 2
2: The new revolution classic
1: montezooma’s Revenge
Same!
Same too!
But I think montezoomas revenge is the the best in my opinion
Same, but I would switch that
Ive only ridden super dooper looper pretty forcful loop not the most forcful but really good for famlys
Mine is
1: sooper dooper looper

Rock n ride
Quimera?
My favourite is Olympia Looping, so relentless in its forcefulness. I do have fond memories of the jet star 2 and jet star 3 / jumbo jet models though (Black Hole and Beast at Alton Towers) they were really good fun to ride.
You should go to Galaxyland in Edmonton to ride Mindbender.
Why would you ever encourage a human to vacation in Edmonton?
I was thinking the same thing, it’s a real experience
Well Indiana Beach is getting Quimera and thats close enough probably.
That's the best one.. I love it in 1990..
Agree
Sooper Dooper Looper was my first inverted coaster like 15 years ago, and I was sold on roller coasters ever since
Sooper Dooper Looper was my first coaster with an inversion that I went on so I can agree with you when you said that it’s a good coaster to introduce kids to inversions
me too

Truth! It's honestly one of the best coasters in the park to me.
I’ve been on 5. They are Scorpion, Whizzer, SooperDooperLooper, Revolution and Montezooma’s Revenge.
I’ve only ridden one Schwarzkopf so far, and that’s the other Mindbender in West Edmonton Mall. It’s a great coaster over all but the only downside is that the cars have over the shoulder restraints I find those to be really uncomfortable. Most of the coaster is left turns into sweeping drops. The max G force is 5 G’s at the end of the first loop.
That coaster looks amazing. I tried to find a way to work it into my August trip but its too far north
That’s understandable. I live in Edmonton so it’s not a far trip for me.
Stat readings at the end were taken with a cell phone app... there is an app for everything after all 🤣
ruclips.net/video/OoTM2ya-NQc/видео.html
Why are Electric Spiral Lifts so underrated? They're so cool!
Montezooma's Revenge is GREAT! I'm in the exact same boat, my first looping coaster was this as well!

I’ve been on one Schwarzkopf so here’s my list
1. The Whizzer
That’s the only one I’ve been on too😂 I’m no coaster enthusiast but it is a great ride. One of a kind and kind of intense for a family ride!
@@henrym6411, well if you know what a coaster enthusiast is, than you kinda are one ngl.
I've ridden
Nessie, Hansa Park
Alpina Bahn
Olympia Looping
Teststrecke
West Ed Mindbender has some of the most forces ive felt on a roller coaster, should check it out
I´m from Germany in my mid 50ies and the Jet Star coaster often could be seen on travelling fun fairs throughout the country. The seating, while seemingly beeing uncomfortable for people who don´t know each other, was VERY popular among teen couples because they could come very close during the ride.

"And i'm pretty old"
Airtime thrills- 2020
I’m pretty much the ultimate fan of Mind Bender at 6 Flags over Georgia! Definitely my best anticipated 1978 Schwarzkopf double loop roller coaster with the tunnel towards the end after the second loop. Of course I did 2 pivot head POVs and the drop of the Mind Bender was not all that bad that I felt comfortable putting my 2 hands in the air. Also I did get a little bit of air time. But one of my favorite elements is the 45 degree angle helix sending you 45 degrees to the ground and another 45 degree angle upward helix going back up at the top speed of 50 mph in advance.
I've only gotten to ride revolution and montezooma and I gotta say those two rides are really good considering how old they are. I love the circular shaped loops rather than the more common teardrop shapes of today
I rather like Scorpion, but it also has sentimental value as my first looping coaster. It’s also my only Schwarzkopf.
Hey siliconbassist did you know that the scorpion at bush gardens was my first looping coaster also
There is nothing wrong with it, it's just small and unimpressive compared to the other coasters in the park. I will say it could use better theming but I honestly don't know what could be done to make that happen.
"I did not get to ride Quimera" *2021 HAD A PLOT TWIST WAITING FOR YOU*
6:02 Probably wont get the chance to ride this one after what happened yesterday.
Ben Elliott wait what happened?
Lily Chancey A very unfortunate accident, the back car derailed the track and killed two riders.
Lily Chancey Since Mexico doesn’t have as strict inspections the coaster still used the original wheel bogeys, and one of them broke of the train killing 2 people. Though there is a good chance it will open back up, but probably not until 2021 or so
Coaster Clutch I doubt it will be back up at that park, quimera has moved 3 times in its history and it will probably move again, since people near that park most likely won’t want to ride it.
Ben Elliott same thing happened in 1986 on the same model of coaster in a indoor Canadian theme park
I rode Wildcat at Cedar Point, Scorpion at Jolly Roger, King Kobra at Kings Dominion, Sooperdooperlooper, and the one at Dorney Park. Not sure of the name.
I'm about to ride Olympia Looping at Hyde Park Winter Wonderland this November. Can't wait 😃
Your new intro is better then your old one
Thanks! And its copyright free 😁
It has a poor reputation because of an accident, but Mindbender at Galaxyland is actually a pretty fun ride. It's got super intense g's though, so it's kinda hard to marathon
Sooper Dooper Looper was my very first inverted coaster I ever went on, it was in 1992. I immediately fell in love with inverted coasters from that point on. But, Montezuma's Revenge is my favorite Schwarzkopf coaster 🙃
I've only ridden Montezooma's Revenge at KBF and The New Revolution at SFMM, but Montezooma's Revenge is the coaster I hold closest to my heart !
Living in Florida and having Busch gardens as my home park, scorpion was the first coaster I ever rode. I'd never ride it again though. It sucks tbh. Last few times I went it was closed tho
I’ve ridden all the Schwarzkopfs in Florida, Texas and California
I think Shockwave is probably my favorite but it’s close to Montezooma.
This video has such a nostalgic resonance for me. The Scorpion in Tampa's Busch Gardens is the very first roller coaster I rode on! I remember being so scared of coasters growing up... but the Scorpion was the perfect introduction to the coaster world for me!

Montezooma’s Revenge was the coaster I rode the most when I went to Knott’s. It’s the first and only Shuttle Loop I’ve ridden and it’s short but great. Wish I could say more but I haven’t been to Knott’s in 6 years
I first rode Whizzer back in 2017. That first turn definitely threw me off. It banked hard and whipped me to the side of the train. I was not expecting that at all
1) Doppel Looping - Conklin Shows (Defunct), 2) Montezuma‘s Revenge - Knott’s, 3) Mind Bender - SFOG, 4) Comet II - Wade Shows, 5) Scorpion - BGT
Shockwave looks like the better layout, but Mindbender has a much prettier setting to run it's course. I don't have a problem with it being ranked 3 since the only choices above it are a sentimental favorite and what looks to be the best Schwarzkopf in the country.
I rode the wildcat at cedar point! …when it came to Jolly Roger amusement park in ocmd…
I just noticed how Schwarzkopf has 3 different track types.
The best coasters have the boxy one
Pacific Coasters I think the best ones are the ones with the plane flat track and the THICC loops
Great list, for coasters of their type both Jet Star 2 and the Colossus the Fire Dragon have stood the test of time when you consider how many how been torn down or scrapped watching that video was like going back in time.
Proud to say the only two I’ve been on are shockwave and mindbender
Same. It's mostly due to my unfortunate geographic location in regards to coasters, but it's cool that I've been on two good ones.
My first Schwarzkopf was Colossus the Fire Dragon. I rode it for my first time when I was 6, then rode it 11 more times that same day :)
Nick Dansie Colossus the dragon fire is one amazing Schwarzkopf I love it to!
Thanks for the Frontier City mention! Hopefully Six Flags can renovate it into a great park again. It could really use one of those launch coasters that don't take up a lot of room; like Tempesto at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. That would be the perfect size for that park and not be too crazy of an investment for Six Flags.
I've only been on 1 Schwarzkopf (Shockwave) and it is certainly an amazing ride! SFOT is my home park, and it's easily my #2 in the park after NTG.
I’ve been on 2:
Montazooma’s revenge, and the wild cat at the Washington state fair.
I'm glad to see Jet Star 2 so high up. It is so intense! One of those coasters where the roughness adds to the experience. And requiring a partner means you might make a new friend.
Good list. I’m surprised to see Montezooma’s Revenge so high but I loved that ride when I rode it. You do get a cool weightlessness feeling on the spikes and it’s very rare!
Sooper Dooper Looper is the only Schwarzkopf I’ve been on, and it holds sentimental value because it was my first looping coaster. I’d love to get on the others though.
Revolution was garbage with the OTSR's. Glad they finally got rid of them so I can enjoy that ride.
Montezuma’s Revenge was the first coaster I ever rode. I was seven.
Only Schwarzkopf I’ve been on is Olympia looping and that’s like the biggest I think
I'm glad you didn't ride Quimera as La Feria literally ran it into the ground. It's being relocated at this moment for refurbishment at Indiana Beach Amusement Park. Hopefully you can ride it there when the trim brakes are reinstalled and new trains are added.
Had the pleasure of riding olympia looping at hyde park winter wonderland in london the other week, you need to plan a european trip that meets where it is set up and operating, amazing coaster
Montezooma revenge is my favorite Schwarzkopf, Shock wave being number two, then mind bender
1:48 Yes! I hope so too! Frontier City is my closest park. I got to ride 2 defunct Schwarzkopf's from Astroworld back in the day. And yes, you are so old! When I was your age, my coaster count was 25, and the tame coasters still gave me quite a thrill. My enjoyment of coasters has only grown as I've gotten older. I've never had any kind of grey-out on Shockwave, but those are quite rare for me.

What up East Coasters
Lily Chancey Hershey Park Home Park Fam?
Yep
Zonga, or tazs Texas tornado was one of the best Schwarzkopf coasters around
Well I’ve only been on 2 being sooper dooper looper and scorpion. I refuse to ride scorpion anymore and sooper dooper looper was my first coaster with an inversion so it holds a special place in my heart
I think my favourite model is the one in the west Edmonton mall
idk if this will make it seem a little better, but mind bender at over georgia was my first real coaster when i was probably 5. most locals see it more as a starter coaster for children because of the pretty short height limit, but i can definitely understand the disappointment since the coaster is so raved about. i’d be disappointed too if i didn’t grow up with it lmao
If you ever make it to Europe, try to get a ride on "Nessie" in nothern Germany before it disappears.
It's a really old coaster, it was the first stationary vertical looping coaster in Europe IIRC.
It's being changed a little bit currently, getting new theming and a new station building, but they're not touching the track (which has been likened to a wooden coaster) or the brakes (in a tin metal tunnel, quite loud) and people keep saying that Nessie's days are numbered due to age, spare parts and also safety-concerns (inverting coaster with only lap bars)
Me: Loving how Swarzkopfs look
Also Me: Only has SooperDooperLooper near me
but Olympia Looping is freakin insane omg.... the inversions are very intense and the whole thing feels very out of control and is amazing, I managed to get to ride it on accident in Vienna when it was at Prater
But it's no Schwarzkopf coaster. Sorry, man! (Yes, it follows the heritage of Schwarzkopf's coasters, and it looks like one, but it was built after Schwarzkopf went bankrupt and therefore was built by someone else.)
It would be really interesting to see what you think of Lisebergsbanan at Liseberg, which is said to have been the favorite Schwarzkopf designed roller coaster of none other than Anton Schwarzkopf himself.
I love Montezoomas Revenge, it was also my first looping coaster.
Hey man! Just wanted to say your vids are quality and you deserve more subs. I binge these lol. Hope you have a great day and get more subs on RUclips soon!
Well now this season Quimera coming to Indiana beach. Cant wait to ride
Shock Wave's tombstone at SFGA Fright Fest : "they said 'save the Whizzer' and Shock Wave became chopped liver"
Mindbender #1
sharkheadism yesss
Which one
Shockwave is at my home park sixflags over Texas and the park management maintain this ride to a T. Every other year they take section of the track and have it welded and reprofiled.
Hey Airtime thrills, so My #1 is the soooperdooperlooper at hershey park and my homepark is six flags america and It is not all that bad if you go on a day where it is a Little busy the rides won't be down. My last visit every thing was running realy well and the only ride Closure was the wild one for about 10 minutes .It depands on the day your there because some days a lot of rides are down but some days all the rides are open and running. But I agree. It needs a stand-out coaster. Also six flags america finally discovered a thing called running 2 trains!
Since everyone is posting their list
1: Shockwave
2: Silver Bullet (Honestly underrated and never talked about)
Mindbender at SFOG was my first looping roller coaster.
My favorite schwartzkobf is Olympia looping i love it coz it is so intense
Just rode Quimera at La Feria de Chapultepec Mágico in Mexico City and the addition of the cringy shoulder restraints was totally needed. Interesting how friction wheels are all lined up for the entire lift. You get crazy ejector airtime for most of the ride, and you will need to make a chiropractic appointment afterwards. Ouch.
Scorpion was my first looper way way back in 1996, i still love to ride it when I’m in Tampa
Whizzer may have survived, but the Zambezi Zinger didn’t. I consider Zinger also being at number 7 since it shares the same layout. Perfect family coaster, just like you said.
Mindbender at Galaxyland would probably be your #1.
Yes. Its my favorite...
To think my home park had 3 of these. All gone now. Well, one still exists somewhere in Mexico, but still. I only got to ride one of them.
I'm from Finland and we have Schwarzkopf Jet star 1 1980-2012. Sadly long time from Särkänniemi park finally broken and coaster coming end.
Me I think Mindbender should first place Mindbender has a beautiful terrain one the most extreme helix and loops on a looping coaster and it park is better than six flags over texas. Come on and u put a flywheel one trick pony in front of Mindbender.
Mindbender does have a cool terrain layout but doesnt pull the forces that Shockwave does. Or even the forces that Montezooma does (tho Monte gets extra points for being a sentimental favorite)
Excalibur Coaster agreed. But the one in galaxyland is better.
Excalibur Coaster Shockwave is more forceful
If I'm not mistaken that Revolution coaster is the same one that was initially at Liberty Land in Memphis, TN and used to be Elvis Presley's favorite coaster
Lagoon is my home park and jetstar 2 is wild, it has forces that should be illegal
I’ve been on two so here’s mine:
2. Jet Star 2
1. Colossus
I’m just a sucker for inversions
Whizzer was my very first coaster (I think) so I definitely have a massive soft spot for it.
Shock Wave didn't make me grey out, but my arms actually were pulled down so hard I got a bruise on my elbow in the second to back row (SFOT has this weird rule where there have to be two people in the last row, it makes no sense).
