I love that launch. The launch into the airtime hill and then dropping off the mountain, is my favorite start to a coaster, though I am going to hit a few more this year.
My favourite has to be Velocicoaster’s second launch. You go into the tunnel and the car slows down for some miliseconds, giving the false illusion of a brake run before absolutely body slamming you into your seat with the insane speed it catches in such little time and to then go up the top hat makes it incredible
Strange you didn’t include Taron’s second launch, which after riding over 100 times still keeps me thrilled and excited in that narrow tunnel, the insane roar and sound effects, shooting you up that waterfall/basalt wall
I agree... hard to argue with Do-Dodompa and Formula Rossa topping the list but Taron's second launch would definitely make my top 10 somewhere... it must be up there for fastest speeds going into a rolling launch and it still gives a real kick into overdrive! :)
Especially if you're not expecting it... apparently some people don't watch onrides of every ride in a park before visiting (don't get it...), my friend was really surprised by the second launch and loved it.
The Sekond lauch of Taron especially should be in the top 10 because of the night setting, when you rush through this narrow, foggy red hell shooting up the steep rocks and the waterfall at the end of the launch without even seeing it comming
Montezooma's Revenge at Knotts has always been one of my all time favorite rides, even though it is almost as old as I am.. It's just a fun ride all around and still can hold up over 40 years later.
Montezooma's Revenge is my wife's first looping coaster, and is now our seven year old son's first looper. Cool, huh??! So happy that Knott's is keeping this classic king alive for many more years to come.
I knew what your # 1 would be. I've got to get on that! My favorite launch is Kingda Ka's. I can feel the power of Maxx Force, but there's just something about 128 mph and seeing that gigantic structure I'm about to climb. I also love that screeching sound of the LIM launches.
Stealth and Furios Baco are my absolutely favourite. Have not experienced most of the list, but have to say that Stealth is truly special because of the punch you get in your stomach. When you are at the top you don’t even care about the drop because your mind goes numb and Furios Baco was such a surprise to me. Did not expect the feeling it gives you. It just wowed me and luckily I was able to ride it 3 times and the park was not packed. Great video!!!
My favorite launch is Kingda Ka. That one is just nuts. Xcelerator at Knotts is another good one. It is so sudden and even better if you are not paying attention.
My favorite launch is Top Thrill Dragster’s. I love the initial punch it gives you and it feels so intense especially near the back of the train. The front row gives amazing views too! It’s my number 1 coaster as of now
Great video - Desert Race launchs indeed really snappy, Taron's second launch has the best roar and Anubis really caught me off guard. Another great launch is Karacho at Tripsdrill - I think it's on a similar level with Anubis :)
Taron just missed the list. I rode Karacho within days of Junker and Anubis, but it didn't seem to have the same kick. It was very good though and just missed the list.
I’ve ridden dragster and I’ve ridden Lightning Rod but the second launch on Maverick is insane. To be fair I haven’t ridden many coasters but that launch is in my top 3. It almost puts the ride above Steel Vengeance for me
now I think stormrunner has the best launch that I have done, Possessed at dorney parks launch surprised me, I was expecting a slow first launch and it caught me off guard
Revenge of the Mummy is a underrated launch that people almost never talk about, I’ve a lot of launch coasters but despite Mummy’s top speed that acceleration was POWERFUL. Obviously it’s not as intense as something like Xcelerator but it still has a gut punch to it. It’s definitely in my top launches as well.
RIP to Dododonpa, it was my dream roller coaster as my favorite elements on roller coasters are the launches. And that's the biggest pain us as enthusiasts have to deal with, closed rides, especially permanently.
I liked lightning rod's uphill launch when I rode it this past summer but I wish I could have ridden it when it first opened. Maybe they'll increase the power again next season with the steel retrack
Even tho i’ve ridden some great launches, like Dragster, Xcelerator and such, but my favorite has gotta be Mr Freeze, that backwards launch will never be beat imo
Great video! Maybe it’s nostalgia, or not getting enough rides in, but I always thought Batman and Robin the Chiller was the best launch. The stats don’t make it seem like much, but I recall it being very smooth and intense. Guessing it’s similar to the Mr. Freezes. Volcano’s second launch was also awesome. I’ve only ridden Kingda Ka once but didn’t care much for its launch, didn’t like the gearing or the massive amount of wind, I thought my contacts were going to slip off my eyeballs hah.
@@donkeyentertain I also remember Chiller made a loud almost popping noise during the launch that added to that initial punch at the beginning. Especially when the ride ops could mess with you on your launch haha.
Superman Escape is my favourite launch (I've not ridden any on this list). The hydraulic launch is great, but the theming is incredible. The preshow, Superman's monologue, and the headchopper at the end are amazing! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Where would it place on this list?
Snoopys racing railway @CanadasWonderland is a good introduction to launched coasters for kids. I absolutely love Cheetah Hunt @BuschGardensTampa is probably my favourite ride with its multiple launches. Ice Breaker @SeaworldOrlando with its swing launch is great.
I agree Snoopy would be a good introductory launch coaster. I rode a clone of that ride in Austria. Cheetah Hunt and Ice Breaker are fun rides, although I prefer a lot of elements on those rides beyond the launch.
Good list but Taron ist certainly missing. My Favorite here in Europe is Red Force. I personally would add on your list also Karacho, Speed Monster, Formule X and Lynet.
Taron's second launch and Velocicoaster's second launch were two that just missed. I love their placement and speed, but since you go into them with speed and its a rolling launch, it doesn't have the same anticipation and punch for me.
Rocking roller coaster is great. I went on it when my nephew was like 8. You Don't see the takeoff until you are about to get on the ride. When he saw the takeoff he was really worried so I told him not to worry nobody has died on this ride recently, which I thought was pretty funny by itself. However, the next car rolls up empty so I tell him except for those people that must have fallen off.
@@CanobieCoaster Me too! I just thought the popular sentiment was the launch was the only good part. The role is one of my all-time favorites, and the dog’s tongue is super unique!
1. Top Thrill Dragster 2. Maverick 3. Thunderbird 4. Flight Of Fear according to just ranking the coaster's launches. 1. Maverick 2. Thunderbird 3. Top Thrill Dragster 4. Flight Of Fear is my overall ranking of these coasters only.
@@CanobieCoaster Thunderbird was actually the first coaster I experienced with a launch. It was also my first wing coaster and currently my favorite wing coaster over GateKeeper.
VelociCoaster deserved to be in the Top 25 but it's not known if that is one of the 114 launches ridden. Also, Storm Runner in Hershey Park doesn't reach the top speed at the launch of 0-72mph, its top speed of 75mph is reached on the first drop due to the higher drop vs overall height due to the terrain inside the park.
If you ever ride stealth again, ask the operators for a blind countdown and they will turn off the race lights and replace the countdown with a heartbeat sound. Then you launch unexpectedly without warning so in the front row it is wild 😛
CANOBIE!! My man. Maverick changed the coaster world forever, my brother. God Bless the good folks at Intamin Amusement Rides. Excellerator my numero uno
Hi Man, i'm from Catalonia and Port aventura is my home park! Only to tell you, there's no way Red force launch is better than furious!! That thing accelerates like a beast, it also has an airtime when the launch finishes, it's just awesome.
I also remember Mr. Freeze being really intense because the inverted top hat was crazy and the overbanked turn just after that was super intense as well. I remember being just yanked so hard and I think it’s very possible that may have been very powerful ejector airtime.
Ive ridden a fair few of these rides including Furius Baco, Stealth, Rita, Hyperspace Mountain, Red Force and I have to say that you've got it spot on! Hopefully get to travel to the US at some point to ride some of the other launched coasters on this list!
Put Knotte Berry Farm on your list. Try Xcellerator’s amazing launch. While you’re at Knotts, try wooden Ghostrider backseat for amazing positives. You can thank me later.
I didn’t notice that Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast had a launch on the vertical segment but that moment of weightlessness was scary and very thrilling and intense. I remember feeling a free fall sensation when it went back down the vertical spike.
Launches are actually what scares me the most. I definitely find the adrenaline waiting on a launch track a lot scarier than say hanging at the top of a drop tower, which is crazy cause those can be terrifying. I will one day fully get used to launches and not get scared of the weird feeling of intense forwards acceleration. But there are so many crazy launches, from the most intense being Do Dodonpa with an acceleration about equivalent to fighter jets launching off air craft carriers to fast launches like Formula Rossa with speeds about 3/4 of a Nascar Car, they are definitely a fantastic experience, ones you get used to them.
As cool as it would be to have some theming or effects on Maxx forces launch, I don't mind them not being there because then I have absolutely no clue when we're going go launch. The anticipation is insane
Great video. Don't know if you've ever been to Bobbejaanland, but Fury has a very interesting launch. 3 Launches on the same pad and you have the ability to choose which way the car is facing, really intense ride too, btw!
@@CanobieCoaster Nice to know. I'm back in the coasterworld since 2 years. I'm now either planning an american tour or an european tour, depending on how Covid goes. But this list give some good insights.
Honorable mentions for me would be Montezooma’s Revenge at Knotts Berry Farm, and Superman Escape from Krypton and Full Throttle, both at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Oh, and West Coast Racers also at Six Flags Magic Mountain because of its multi launch, and Flight of Fear at Kings Island, with the way you are launched into the spaghetti bowl in the dark. Xcelerator and Top Thrill Dragster are the most intense launches I’ve experienced to date.
Launches may be my favorite element on any coaster. They’re just so awesome. My favorite is mavericks second launch. Also, what do you mean at 5:52? I got confused while watching the video
definitely not the most forceful (and not sure if you’ve been on it) but copperhead strike at carowinds. The second launch is happening in a double up so it’s kind of unique as well as being one of the few coasters with a stengel dive
I know it isn’t nearly as forceful as the ones on this list, but I think California Screamin’ (not Incredicoaster) deserved an honorable mention because of the music and the countdown. It adds so much anticipation, and I think it is a good beginner launch coaster
The Ride to Happiness launch is indeed special with the spinning. I liked that one. Anubis the ride has a short launch but a very Strong one. I can continue to enjoy that. I love launching coasters so thank you for this video.
@@CanobieCoaster Yup it does, It only goes 83km/h but it feels way faster. It is well-themed and has good airtime. Motiongate is opening their 6th and 7th coasters in 2 days, can't wait!!
I am a sucker for theming and near misses so i would put one of f.l.ys launches on there the first one for that soundtrack and the visuals and the second one for the airtime over the top and the views
@@CanobieCoaster yeah the launches on your list have a lot more going from them, i think f.l.ys first launch is my favourite as i'm more of a theme park enthusiast than a coaster one so the overall experience leading up to that launch just gets to me
Surprised how you showed footage of Taron but didn't mention it. The first launch is alright, but the feeling and the sound the second one gives is amazing.
@@CanobieCoaster no it was a joke they are soo week that even thirteen at alton towers has a faster launch acceleration on the launch into the station and that's a family coaster and it's not even a launch coaster
Stealth or have you not been on that coaster yet cause I believe it has the second fast acceleration rate in the world and has nice pop of ejector air time on the the cress and leads into the drop and a call speed hill.
I really like full throttles 3rd launch because you go through a tunnel making the sense of speed better while your forced into your seat but I’ve only been on the launch coasters at magic mountain and most of them are weak so I don’t know what a good launch is
Powder Keg has always been my favorite launch. I don't get why so many people look past it. That ride is so underrated in my opinion.
I think it's overshadowed by the park.
Dude same, like ive done dragster and all that but the powder keg launch is literally amazing
That first airtime hill is insane
I love that launch. The launch into the airtime hill and then dropping off the mountain, is my favorite start to a coaster, though I am going to hit a few more this year.
Ikr, most people don't even know the park exists but its so good
My favourite has to be Velocicoaster’s second launch. You go into the tunnel and the car slows down for some miliseconds, giving the false illusion of a brake run before absolutely body slamming you into your seat with the insane speed it catches in such little time and to then go up the top hat makes it incredible

That one just missed. I tend to prefer non-rolling launches.
You included all my favorites except for my number one favorite, which I love not for its power but for its fun factor: the second launch on Taron.
That one just barely missed the list.
I agree... hard to argue with Do-Dodompa and Formula Rossa topping the list but Taron's second launch would definitely make my top 10 somewhere... it must be up there for fastest speeds going into a rolling launch and it still gives a real kick into overdrive! :)

Montezooma's Revenge at Knotts has always been one of my all time favorite rides, even though it is almost as old as I am.. It's just a fun ride all around and still can hold up over 40 years later.
It's a classic.
I just rode that for the very first time today it was my first loop and it was amazing I love that ride
@@qwertyuiopwegames470 Congrats! Lots more to look forward to from here on out! 👍

With the way you described the launch on Anubis really makes my anticipate is more.
It's very strong.
So glad to see Storm Runner on here!
It's fantastic.
Tarons launches are cool 💪🏻
They're pretty good and I love the second's placement.
My top 3 favorites off the top of my head are:
3. Volcano the blast coaster
2. Storm runner
1. Dragster
Volcano just missed the list.
My favorite launch is Kingda Ka. That one is just nuts. Xcelerator at Knotts is another good one. It is so sudden and even better if you are not paying attention.
Both are amazing. Love hydraulic launches.
My favorite launch is Top Thrill Dragster’s. I love the initial punch it gives you and it feels so intense especially near the back of the train. The front row gives amazing views too! It’s my number 1 coaster as of now
That launch is especially great up front.
Glad to see Anubis on here! It has the strongest launch I have experienced
It's very intense.
@@CanobieCoaster I love it :D
Wait until you do fluch von novgorod :p
Do-dodonpa's launch sound like one hell of an experience. That acceleration is faster than any Formula1 car...omg
It was insane.
@@CanobieCoaster i can imagine...
You made me wanna visit Japan xD

That one is great.
Same. Keep in mind I have only ridden 4 coasters with launches. Stealth, Rita, Th13teen and Pegase Express
I’ve ridden dragster and I’ve ridden Lightning Rod but the second launch on Maverick is insane. To be fair I haven’t ridden many coasters but that launch is in my top 3. It almost puts the ride above Steel Vengeance for me
That launch is great with the setting and turn.
I love the launch on Hulk, mostly because I had no idea it was there. I’m chilling as we are being pulled up the hill via chain and then woosh.
That's great you got a surprise.
Awesome list! I absolutely love the placement of Maxx Force and Hulk
Thanks!
now I think stormrunner has the best launch that I have done, Possessed at dorney parks launch surprised me, I was expecting a slow first launch and it caught me off guard
Storm Runner has a wonderful launch.
@@CanobieCoaster it really does, and if everything goes right im going to do kingda ka for the first time this year so im excited for that

I can dream.
Yes that's such a fun launch!
Even tho i’ve ridden some great launches, like Dragster, Xcelerator and such, but my favorite has gotta be Mr Freeze, that backwards launch will never be beat imo
I prefer the spike launch on Mr. Freeze.
That's high up my list. That powerful backwards LIM launch is so special.

The seats are cool.
Love your reviews they are always very nice and also love it that you mention the metric system, this is very handy for us Europeans 😀!

Somewhere in the teens.
I love the second launch on velocicoaster before cresting that tophat.
But kingda ka gets me everytime.

I love that launch too.
Perfect choices here
Thanks!
Fantastic list. My favorite launch is tied between Kingda Ka and Top Thrill Dragster.
Both are exceptional.
@@CanobieCoaster Absolutely. I will say that I really want to try Do-Dodonpa at some point as well. 112 mph in less than 2 seconds seems so insane!!
This was AWESOME! Thank you for the great list; What about Velocycoaster? I wish I could travel the world riding all of these! ☹️
Velocicoaster's second launch just missed the list.
1. Top Thrill Dragster 2. Maverick 3. Thunderbird 4. Flight Of Fear according to just ranking the coaster's launches. 1. Maverick 2. Thunderbird 3. Top Thrill Dragster 4. Flight Of Fear is my overall ranking of these coasters only.
Thunderbird is another one with a good launch.
@@CanobieCoaster Thunderbird was actually the first coaster I experienced with a launch. It was also my first wing coaster and currently my favorite wing coaster over GateKeeper.

If you ever ride stealth again, ask the operators for a blind countdown and they will turn off the race lights and replace the countdown with a heartbeat sound. Then you launch unexpectedly without warning so in the front row it is wild 😛

2 of my favorite launches are TRON lightcycle/run and Cosmic Rewind
Cosmic Rewind's is cool.
And TRON’s is powerful
CANOBIE!! My man. Maverick changed the coaster world forever, my brother. God Bless the good folks at Intamin Amusement Rides. Excellerator my numero uno
That ride did have a major impact.
My favorite launches are the launches from Desert race, Anubis the ride and Flucht von Novgorod.
All are very good.
Great list ! I personally have furious baco as my favourite launch over red force and stealth:) shame the rest of the coaster is pants
I wish you could guarantee a ride up front on Furius Baco. It's rough elsewhere.
Perfect list. Well done.
Thanks!
Great video
Thanks!
Maxx Force is at my home park, SFGAm.
I'm so lucky. That launch is nutty.
Sure is.
My favourite launch has got to be Taiga's first launch! Even thought the second launch is more powerful, the first one is better.
Those launches are fun too.
Hi Man, i'm from Catalonia and Port aventura is my home park! Only to tell you, there's no way Red force launch is better than furious!! That thing accelerates like a beast, it also has an airtime when the launch finishes, it's just awesome.
Furius Baco has a stronger initial kick, but I like the speed of Red Force more.
I agree with you on this one, these hydraulics are absolutely nuts!😍 This was my first hydraulic Launch and I absolutely felt like dying😂
I also remember Mr. Freeze being really intense because the inverted top hat was crazy and the overbanked turn just after that was super intense as well. I remember being just yanked so hard and I think it’s very possible that may have been very powerful ejector airtime.
That top hat is crazy.
@@CanobieCoaster Yes the top hat was very crazy but what about that overbanked curve after the top hat?
velocicoaster for me is thebest!!

Awesome video man, smashed that sub! I was pleasantly surprised you were one of the rare few like myself that prefer Ka's launch over Dragster 👍
I prefer Dragster as a ride, but Ka has the better launch.
Glad to see Powder Keg get some love.
It's underrated.
Ive ridden a fair few of these rides including Furius Baco, Stealth, Rita, Hyperspace Mountain, Red Force and I have to say that you've got it spot on! Hopefully get to travel to the US at some point to ride some of the other launched coasters on this list!
Hopefully you can!
Put Knotte Berry Farm on your list. Try Xcellerator’s amazing launch. While you’re at Knotts, try wooden Ghostrider backseat for amazing positives. You can thank me later.
@@NeonTrapperKeeper Ghost rider is so AWESOME!
do-dodonpas launch scared the hell out of my dad in 2018. he was not happy after that one. i told him it was only an 80 mph launch lol
Whoops.
I didn’t notice that Mr. Freeze Reverse Blast had a launch on the vertical segment but that moment of weightlessness was scary and very thrilling and intense. I remember feeling a free fall sensation when it went back down the vertical spike.
Yeah there is a launch on the spike.
I loved it because I felt some strong weightlessness and a free fall sensation
Launches are actually what scares me the most. I definitely find the adrenaline waiting on a launch track a lot scarier than say hanging at the top of a drop tower, which is crazy cause those can be terrifying. I will one day fully get used to launches and not get scared of the weird feeling of intense forwards acceleration. But there are so many crazy launches, from the most intense being Do Dodonpa with an acceleration about equivalent to fighter jets launching off air craft carriers to fast launches like Formula Rossa with speeds about 3/4 of a Nascar Car, they are definitely a fantastic experience, ones you get used to them.
The best ones can always take your breath away no matter how many times you ride them.
Kingda Ka, Maxx Force, Lightning Rod, Superman Escape From Krypton, and Maverick are my top 5 launches!
Nice!
Powder Keg at Silver Dollar City was in your video of most surprising roller coasters in the world
Yes it was.
Stealth is actually the 3rd fastest acceleration as it was increased it one point from 0-80 in 2.3 to 1.9 seconds
Interesting!
As cool as it would be to have some theming or effects on Maxx forces launch, I don't mind them not being there because then I have absolutely no clue when we're going go launch. The anticipation is insane
That's fair.
Hypersonic XLC is my favorite launch I've ever experienced. Probably the closest I'll get to experiencing Do-Do-Donpa for a very long time.
That one looked awesome.
I love stealth’s launch and I am waiting for waiting favourite drops
I hope to make that one soon.
Great video. Don't know if you've ever been to Bobbejaanland, but Fury has a very interesting launch. 3 Launches on the same pad and you have the ability to choose which way the car is facing, really intense ride too, btw!

@@CanobieCoaster 15 year old me from when it was first built would not hear out this slander

Launches may be my favorite element on any coaster. They’re just so awesome. My favorite is mavericks second launch. Also, what do you mean at 5:52? I got confused while watching the video
B&M made the coaster, but they didn't do the launch themselves.
Oh. Intresting
definitely not the most forceful (and not sure if you’ve been on it) but copperhead strike at carowinds. The second launch is happening in a double up so it’s kind of unique as well as being one of the few coasters with a stengel dive
The launch itself is weak, but the bunny hill is fun.
I know it isn’t nearly as forceful as the ones on this list, but I think California Screamin’ (not Incredicoaster) deserved an honorable mention because of the music and the countdown. It adds so much anticipation, and I think it is a good beginner launch coaster
It does have a theatric launch
The Ride to Happiness launch is indeed special with the spinning. I liked that one. Anubis the ride has a short launch but a very Strong one. I can continue to enjoy that. I love launching coasters so thank you for this video.
You're welcome!
Taron's second launch is way better than the first 10 launches you presented in the video. Atleast haha
Taron just missed.
Awesome video!
Thanks!
stealth at thorpe park is top notch
Agreed.
I'm really happy to see Madagascar Mad Pursuit on the list
It has a punchy launch.
@@CanobieCoaster Yup it does, It only goes 83km/h but it feels way faster. It is well-themed and has good airtime. Motiongate is opening their 6th and 7th coasters in 2 days, can't wait!!
I miss Tarons second launch which i would expect to be somewhere in the top 10. Great list though.
Taron's 2nd launch just missed this list.
Hypersonic XLC is my favorite launch
I saw that, but didn't get to ride it :(
I assume that Karacho would get ranked 17th or even better?
I rode Karacho within days of Anubis and Junker, but it didn't seem to have the same kick for some reason. It just missed the list.
Storm Runner currently has my favorite launch
That's a great one!
It has by far the best and most unique layout of all of the intiman xcellerators too
full throttle is my favorite launch at six flags magic mountain
That's a fun one.
I am a sucker for theming and near misses so i would put one of f.l.ys launches on there
the first one for that soundtrack and the visuals and the second one for the airtime over the top and the views
F.L.Y.'s launches are cool in that position, but I prefer these ones myself.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah the launches on your list have a lot more going from them, i think f.l.ys first launch is my favourite as i'm more of a theme park enthusiast than a coaster one so the overall experience leading up to that launch just gets to me
itsnt do dodonpa a bone breaking ride i wanna give this guy so much credit rn
There are reports it injured people, but the conclusion hasn't been found yet. It may not have been the launch.
Love Xcellerator at Knotts. It's so forceful and stomach wrenching.
It is.
Surprised how you showed footage of Taron but didn't mention it. The first launch is alright, but the feeling and the sound the second one gives is amazing.
Taron just missed the list.
What do you think about Taron? I think this should be on this list. The second lauch is so good with the atmosphere. Great vid tho
It just missed. I prefer non-rolling launches.
Where's icon at Blackpool pleasure Beach those launches are soo powerful
I haven't ridden Icon. Are they better than the other Mack launches?
@@CanobieCoaster no it was a joke they are soo week that even thirteen at alton towers has a faster launch acceleration on the launch into the station and that's a family coaster and it's not even a launch coaster
Respect and agree with all on the list except maverick is a bit low in my opinion, at night that thing is just absurd
I would prefer it if it went from a dead stop I think.
Happy to see xceleator on here
Yes
No love for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster with the Aerosmith audio and theme?
The launch is solid, but not as good as these 25.
Stealth or have you not been on that coaster yet cause I believe it has the second fast acceleration rate in the world and has nice pop of ejector air time on the the cress and leads into the drop and a call speed hill.
I have been on Stealth. It's in the top 10 for me.
Dragster is the best launch ive ever done, besides that i think mavs 2nd launch hits just right
Dragster's is incredible.
I really like full throttles 3rd launch because you go through a tunnel making the sense of speed better while your forced into your seat but I’ve only been on the launch coasters at magic mountain and most of them are weak so I don’t know what a good launch is
Superman has my favorite launch in that park.
It’s not very forceful though but it’s acceleration is held up
