- Raging Bull is one of the best roller coasters ever built. This ride is easily the best coaster at Six Flags Great America, but there are also some people that majorly dislike this coaster. Why is this coaster so good, and why do some hate it? Find out in this video!

It's gotta be the most underrated B&M hyper. It only has a twister layout in the last 1/4 of the ride, and there are 7 strong airtime moment: 1st drop: 2: drop off the 1st Camelback; 3: drop following wave turn, 4: drop off the MCBR; 5: drop off the following camelback; 6: drop into the twister section and finally 7: the last little drop before the last left had twist into the EBR. That's just in row 5, but back is obviously the best on this coaster. In fact: the airtime on this B&M hyper is better than most I've ridden so far! The only other B&M I like better that I've ridden so far are Behemoth, (in the back) Fury 325 (in the front) and in one month probably Diamondback as well, probably best in the back. It's also the best coaster in the park. Thanks for posting!
It’s my fav B&M Hyper out of the 3 I’ve done! That drop is incredible in the back row 🔥
Its a truly incredible coaster!
I’m glad the people have finally talked about Ranging bull more, it’s possibly underrated at Great America and it is my personal favorite at the park.
Riding the back row feels like you're being ripped out of the sky.
The Airtime Thrills guy loves this coaster and raves about it a lot, if I recall correctly.
Although I like Goliath's inverted craziness a teeny bit more, I love this ride! Can't wait to get to SFGAm for my first ride of the season!
This was my favorite coaster for the longest time and still is my favorite ride at Great America. Great to see that it’s getting the love it deserves!
Raging Bull is a standout B&M simply because of it's twister layout as mentioned, it's a fun coaster, but B&Ms started feeling very similar to one another years ago for me. This is a "problem" unique to coaster hobbyists since we ride many coasters of the same maker. I rode a few new-to-me B&M Hypers in 2023, Orion, Diamondback, Nitro, Raging Bull & Fury 325. Two surprises. 1.) Really enjoying Nitro _a lot!_ 2.) Liking Diamondback more than Orion. Riding these 5 B&Ms within days of each other emphasized to me how similar they all felt. Spinal Hiccup's passion for Raging Bull makes me want to return and really study that back seat a bunch of times! For a wood coaster guy like me, influencing me to want to return to a steel coaster is quite a feat!
rode this maybe 8 x in a row on a cold Memorial Day. Never got old.
This coaster is part of the reason I wish B&M never abandoned the pre-drop on their hypers. That little extra speed you get when beginning the first drop after a pre-drop makes the airtime so much better, especially if the apex of the hill is tight
Yeah. The pre-drop really helped with the Hypers.
However, on B&M Inverts and Floorlesses without the pre-drop, the drop is much whippier. For example, everyone raves about the first drop on Banshee at Kings Island.
Towards the front still gives a lot of floater air time. Just doesn’t yank you down the drops as much. But my point is this is a good and balanced ride nearly anywhere on the ride in my experiences
I just came back from SFGA yesterday and rode raging bull 3 times. The back row is definitely the best row. The airtime on this ride is insane, particularly during the first drop band the camelback, I was literally floating out of my seat going up the camelback until heading down, this ride is incredible and still my number 1 at the park after all these years.
The trim on the airtime hill used to be an absolute killer for the rest of the layout, but they’ve almost completely turned it off this year and it makes a noticeable difference.
I just got to ride Iron Gwazi for the first time recently. That first drop was definitely the best I’ve ever experienced. 206 feet at 91 degrees is bonkers.
Is Nobody Gonna Mention How The First Half Of Raging Bull And Goliath/Titan Are So Similar Even Though They Were Made By Completely Different Companies
1:29 You my guy need to get yourself to Kolmarden in Sweden because Wilfdire's first drop in the back row will absolutely leave you speechless
ngl i think you got insanely lucky with your rides on raging bull. that drop is the only element worth returning to this coaster for and even then you have to be in the back row for it to be good. also that trim usually hits insanely hard, making the rest of the ride crawl
Batman was the first inverting inverted rollercoaster. Arrow had made their inverted suspending coaster before, making them the first inverted coaster.
Thats true, it might just be a me thing but I don't really think of suspended coasters as inverted coasters. Even though they technically are inverts, suspended coasters feel like their own breed of coaster.
I think enthusiasts usually categorize suspended coasters and inverts separately, even though some manufacturers use terminology that confuses the issue (e.g. Vekoma calling the "Suspended Looping Coaster" that when it's really an inverted looping coaster).
The thing that blows my mind is that Arrow actually built a prototype for a suspended coaster with an inversion, though they never built one in production. Given the problems they did have with the early suspended models I can only imagine that such a thing would have destroyed itself before very long.
@@MattMcIrvin ironically if arrow built the corkscrew on the first suspended coaster, it would have been the only part of the track with proper banking, meaning it likely would have survived better
There’s a difference between suspended and a inverted coaster. Suspended doesn’t go upside down and swings you back and forth. Inverted coasters go upside down
I agree 100%. Airtime is grwat but its not needed for the rode to still be good. I hope i get to ride Raging Bull one day, ill deff make sure i get a back seat.
I really like this ride - more than intimidator at Carowinds. I get airtime no matter what row I’m in and I strongly agree this is one of the best first drops on any hyper.
I disagree, the difference between the last 3 rows and the rest is huge, back row airtime is elite
Raging Bull is very fun. After my most recent ride it went way on Thursday it went higher than Mako.
First good video, well made, high quality, nice!
But! i thinkt he argument "if you say this has no airtime you obviously didnt ride the back row" isnt really a valid argument, if the ride isnt fun in every seat.. its not a great ride, that being said i agree RB is underrated and people get too mad about it
I’d love to experience this without the trim brake on the first airtime hill
0:50 a correction - Batman The Ride wasn't the first inverted coaster, but the first one built by B&M (and the first one by going upside down)
The video is correct. Batman is credited as the first inverted coaster. You might be confusing it with suspended coasters.
@@OreoOtaku isn't a suspended coaster an inverted coaster as it hangs under the track?
@@MrGoldMan in rollercoaster terms there is a difference. The earlier suspended coasters were able to have the train swing due to an axis while inverted was fixed to the wheel assembly allowing no swing on the train.
@@OreoOtaku Oh, thanks for letting me know
Looks to be a great coaster for sure, but best in the park? Over an RMC??
Skyrush, El Toro, Time Traveler, and Iron Rattler: Am I a joke to you?
Time Traveler Is Not Better Then Raging Bull's First Drop Also Where's Millennium Force Or The B&M Gigas?
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od have you ridden time traveler ? Also fury and Millie would probably be next
Better first drop than eltoro?? That doesn’t even sound possible, but now I’m intrigued.
I want more B&M Hyper coasters with twister layouts. They’re so different than the normal Hyper coasters and everything else is essentially just the same thing with a different amount of hills.
I agree, I really like the mixture between the airtime hills and the turns
@@spinalhiccup finally someone who agrees with me XD
Raging Bull has an odd vibration that really bugs me whenever I ride it.
Batman was not the worlds first inverted coaster it was the bat at kings island
Prob a b&m thing w their drops coz my fav drop of what I’ve ridden is on shambhala
Ill hopefully be getting on this over the summer, Ive been on a couple of B&M hypers, and both Giovanola ones, and this seems like a nice mix of the positives and negatives the two models offer, wouldnt be surprised if its my number 2 B&M hyper, but itll be hard for it to top Goliath at Over Georgia
Goliath at Over Georgia is really good, I look forward to getting to ride it again over the summer!
This is my #2 coaster
Can you make a video on American Eagle? It was my #1 for years before I moved to Texas. (I also wasnt a full on thoosie and I was scared of heights so I didnt ride Raging Bull)
Id love to, but unfortunately last time I was at the park it was down. Its also super tucked into the back of the park, so I wouldn't be able to get much good footage of it.
So the only B&Ms I like are the early inverts and variants. Raging Bull isn't a bad ride, it's just okay like every other B&M I've ridden. I personally would take Batman over Raging Bull. The issue I have with them is they have a distinct rhythm (Speed up, slow down, element) or (Speed up, slow down element, turn, element). I know my opinion isn't popular and people love B&M coasters and that's totally cool! Getting back to Raging Bull, it has that same B&M rhythm with a bit of twister added to the end which isn't bad but not earth shattering.
exspecially isn't a word.
I can agree
Great ride but the first drop doesn’t hold a candle to Millennium Force. Best on the planet.
The airtime hill hypers always arr boring sfter the midcourse. Raging bull is not. The first drop is the absolute best, and the other bug turnarounds are disorienting. If that trim wasnt on the airtime hill, it would be a crowd favorite. Thus layout is also so prolific. Superman ride of steel was a twister and opened around the same time, but b and m always went with the out and back. Funny though, Fury and Orion borrow HEAVILY from raging bull’s menu of elements. Take a look. This ride was 20 years ahead of its time.
You lost me the moment you called that drop the best in the world. Griffon at BGW has a better drop and that's off the top of my head.
