I found your enthusiast story interesting and I’ve had a similar experience I lived in Hawaii (The Big Island) for 11 years. And I’ve only recently moved to the mainland (Idaho). The first theme park I went to was Disneyland in 2015 and 2017, (I was 10 or 9) where I conquered my fear and rode the then California Screaming. That turned me into an enthusiast and I did a lot of research into coasters, I then attended the local fair in 2018 and 2019 and rode the zipper. I also recognize a lot of the same rides so I wouldn’t be surprised if Maui and the Big Island shared the same fair company. In 2022, I moved to Idaho in the Pacific Northwest but unfortunately the closest park is 4 and a half hours away (Lagoon). I went to Lagoon once and rode Cannibal and the rest of the lineup, I also was able to go to Six Flags over Texas for the solar eclipse in 2023. I hope to someday work at Cedar Point for a season, and I have a total of 20 credits. My Number one is probably The New Texas giant because that is the only RMC I’ve ridden. I like rollercoasters mostly because of airtime and I like the floaty sensation. I am 17 for reference. Sorry for the long comment lol.

So coaster "enthusiasts" prefer air time to safety. Got it.

what is getting stapled?

I love the lap bars on magnum and steel vengeance they give so much freedom

I feel I don't have a home park,no live in Hawaii 😭 is nice here tho

The property was sold but cedar fair is not closing this park.

Families spend more per capita at theme parks. Drawing more Families means more revenue for future capital expenditure. So when the time comes for a big intense thrill coaster. There will be money to go all out and make it truly great.

I was aware of Intamin being froze out now i have more understanding as to why. Interesting video.

This was the first roller coaster I rode, back in the mid 1980s at Magic Springs in Hot Springs, Arkansas. It was painted white with a black train. If you were lucky to be there on a slow day, the ride operator would let you stay on as long as you wanted. It did break down often in those days. There is a wooden roller coaster called The Arkansas Twister in it's place now, which came from a defunct amusement park in Florida. 👍🏻

What does "Stapled" mean? You said it a few times.

i have ridden a lot of no restraint coasters. coasters like these are quite popular in european fun funfairs which usually come in a layout of a figure eight or oval

that intro is fire

Enjoying your Japan series so far! Are more vlogs coming?

Can someone please explain to me how I won't fall out of a Giga's first drop without consciously pushing my things/lower body into the lap restraint? I've only been on one about 5 times, but each time I felt like if I didn't actively try to prevent it, I'd fly out. I know people pass out on 'coasters and they don't fly out. Should I just let go of this fear and try to get as much air time as possible, knowing that I am secure (somehow)? BTW, I am about average to slightly above in weight. Nothing crazy.

Intamin makes the beast hypers

I only rode the Coasters that are not Steep. One of them is a Junior Coaster with Lap Bars. & the other One was a Family Inverted Coaster with Lap Bars, but tbh, at that Family inverted Coaster the restraints had Seat Belts which made me feel Safer.🎢👨‍👩‍👦🙃⏩⏩⏬

Which coaster was that cough for...😂

ride op here, we only have seatbelts on rollercoasters to lower our insurance costs for the most part. The lap bar or OTS restraint does all the work lol.

Great video as usual! The OG raptors seem amazing to me. I love fast paced and agressive rides. I've been on Jersey Devil Coaster, and that's an awesome ride, but these seem like they could rank even higher for me.

Yes, i think that the modified one does have more reliability, but the og's are a lot better

First!

Do you know the leviathan at canadas wonderland? Its my favourite coaster and i would love to see a review on it.

This would terrify me. I dont have a fear of coasters but i haveva big fear of heights. I would still ride it though

I haven’t been to elitches since 2015, but when I used to go that place was always packed and fun af

Just me tho but id rather have to tight restraint than loose

jack rabbit kennywood has no restraints

Best night ride in California--Yes even better than Ghost Rider imo

What does ROC mean. I know it has something to do with the removal of the coaster but what’s the abbreviation stand for?

The rmc raptor restraints are so goated, no head banging, just comfort and safety.

1 B & m clamshell restraints 2 over the head restraints 3 otsr restraints 4 buzz bar 5 vest restraints 👇

Intamin lap bar (new gen, as u said over the shoulder lap bar) is the best restrain cuz it give you a lot of freedom it giving you freedom on your entire upper body and also on your lower body you should rly try a coaster with them

Shoutout to the butterfly restraints on X2

trust me, on joker and x flight, you get plenty airtime

I’ve been on the Yukon stricker the tallest dive coaster and the vest restraint is so good

Explained well !

Definitely love otsr and vest restraints for loops because they keep you tight in the cart where lap bars are more for drop coasters and airtime hills

It seems like 2024 was a bit of an off year for Gold Striker. I was kinda underwhelmed by it, and my friend that rode it with me said it was way worse than he remembered.

I love the Mack lapbars
