I've never ridden an RMC coaster before, but my family and I might have our 1st one in Stunt Pilot at Silverwood next year, maybe. One of my biggest roller coaster bucket lists is to ride at least 10 RMC's in the States.
Sheeesh makin us feel old with the "6 years running" steel vengeance lol. I totally agree. I think it is the fury325/velosicoaster of the RMCs. The speed, intensity, world record amount of air time, 2+ minute ride. It's AWESOME. Literally best in the world. It's so hard to beat.
Making YOU feel old??? My dude, I'm old enough to remember when Mean Streak was built! Hell, I'm old enough to say I rode Magnum in its first year. I remember Geauga Lake, and had season passes for it. Holy shit, I'm old.😅
My top of the list is the Voyage, this ride was the definition of absolute perfection, the ride is like it never ends. And it only gets better and better each time I ride it.
Glad to see that Cannibal is back in the top 25, and even better, it's higher than TMNT. Although I never would have suspected that it would have been higher than Wildcats Revenge.
@@KingWill04 Was it because of the lagoon roll? I recently discovered that the lagoon roll is much more enjoyable if you hold onto the handlebars, and try to keep your body upright.
I can respect every placement on this list… except rip ride rockit. Oof. I would rather wait in that 2 hour line for hagrids than walk on rip ride rockit. It’s that unbearable. Or did you get your red coasters with 12 passenger trains confused and mean to put Maverick in that spot? /lh
I plan on doing a trip this summer to Kennywood, Cedar Point, and Kings Island. It's been 25 years since my only trip to Kennywood. 15 years since my only trip to Cedar Point. Never been to Kings Island. I already know the highlight of the trip will be my reunion with Steel Vengeance (also my #1). I rode it only once, but it was magical. Good List! I expected Pantheon to be higher. Be honest...does theming factor in your rankings at all? Cuz Pantheon's zero theming doesn't help it.
Agree with this entire list! I love Wicked Cyclone & its truly an elite coaster. I rode Nitro a ton this year, & I'm not a fan at all I think it was way worse than Appollo's Chariot. I would've also put Cyclone at Coney Island in the top 20.
I definitely have a mixed list relative to yours (similar coasters but in very different spots) however ArieForce One is also EXACTLY at my #3 spot after 10 rides this year…. Such an awesome coaster!
I rode Rip rocket this year and it was terrible. I went in trying to enjoy it but it was so rough and all the mid course break runs killed any momentum for me. I hated my 1 ride so much I never tried it again in my 3 day there
Fury 325 remaining #2 warms my heart so much. Fury is absolute bliss, and I've ridden Steel Vengeance. I only have SteVe #1 because it's...SteVe. Fury 325 is #2 as well. I always anticipate these videos late in the year and this is no exception!
I will always appreciate the love for Raging Bull. Just recently posted my updated top 20 and boy did my first visit to Kings Island and my return to Cedar Point make quite the impact on the list.
I can’t believe you put Millennium force over Maverick but everyone has differing opinions. For me personally and everyone I’ve gone to Cedar Point with we all like Maverick even over Steel Vengeance.
Great list. I’ve rode 87 of your 100. I guess my biggest difference is rip ride rockit. I found it rough. I’m in the camp for universal to replace it. But overall your list and video are quite entertaining and a must watch.
Honestly I didn't ride it the first time I was there because I heard so many bad reviews but the second year I bit the bullet and I'm so glad I did. It wasn't nearly as rough as everybody claimed it was and I thought it was a great coaster.
Phantoms revenge is perfectly placed. I know i always wish it was longer when i ride it. Hopefully kennywood brings another top tier coaster to the burgh soon. If they do, kennywood would probably become a premier park like hershey
I need to know if home park suffering is a thing: I actually think Fury is kinda... just okay. But nothing too special. Carowinds is my home park, so of course I've been on it a number of times at this point. Is this just home park syndrome shaping my opinion? I know it's widely loved. Solidly agree on Arie though: I got 11 rides on it on a blistering hot July afternoon. Insanity. Worst part though was baking in the sun on the break run outside the station ha!
Really, who can actually take this list seriously when Skyrush isn't in the top 100, but Phoenix is 35. Bet he's got the A's in his top 5 on his baseball channel.
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od I’m actually with him on his ranking of Fury325, but while I do love Diamondback, I can name quite a number of B&M hypers I’d rank above it.
Thanks for ranking Powder Keg in the last vid and Outlaw and TT in this one. Bring the family back to SDC next year for Fire in the Hole and let Amy ride some in the newly named Fire District. If you hear singing, that will be a rotation where I’m working. Hope to see y’all next year!
thank you for not putting velocicoaster and iron guazi on like number 1 and 2 sooooo many people say one of thoes two are their favorite and they usualy say that steve is right behind them or something but they arent even close to how great steve is
Velocicoaster is ranked too low. I haven't ridden nearly as many coasters as you but I am a coaster enthusiast. I rode Velocicoaster and Airieforce One this year. I love Airie, it will always be my favorite experience on a coaster because my son and I got VIP access for back to back.......to back to back rides on all the seats by ourselves. However, we both agree, as great of an experience as we had and what a great, world-class coaster Airie is, in the middle of Jonesboro Georgia 🤯, it doesn't stack up to Velocicoaster. You mention Velocicoast had good theming, I would humbly correct you by saying it has maybe the bast theming of any coaster anywhere. And the launches prior to elements put it miles ahead of Airie from a ride experience standpoint. Love your work.
Great video, as always. I'm a little late, but I'll still provide my top 50! This is out of 123 total credits. I won't provide explanations for my rankings (save one exception) but feel free to ask about them! 50. Kumba 49. Flight of Fear (KD) 48. Galaxy Spin 47. Kraken 46. Space Mountain (Alpha) 45.

Evening ride was insane, but I usually have to ride an insane coaster multiple times to appreciate it, so it unfortunately can't rank too high yet.
As a Carowinds home parker with countless Fury rides since 2015 I can confidently say post crack fury is at its best and it dosent even touch velocicoaster.
Was going to get on Shellraiser this weekend but the park extended its maintenance that was supposed to end the 15th by a month, guess I'll need to wait another year
If you don’t make it down to re-ride Boardwalk Bullet this year, I will make the drive from Austin to Oklahoma and make a stop at Home Depot to buy a torch and pitchfork 🤣
I would go on pretty much any coaster instead of Rip Ride Rocket...sad to see it ranked higher then Monster in my home park! Glad Monster made your top 50 though :)
Love seeing Wicked Cyclone so high up on your list! Though I'm absolutely shocked that it's ranked over Iron Gwazi. IG for me is a god tier coaster. Happy Holidays
You have me contemplating going to the cedar fair park in Northern California. Also I need to take some serious vacation time and catch up on my coasters.
Another quality list! My current top 10 listed below out of my 170 credits: 1. The Voyage 2. VelociCoaster 3. Intimidator 305 4. Fury 325 5. Lightning Rod 6. Steel Vengeance 7. X2 8. Twisted Timbers 9. Maverick 10. Skyrush
Was looking forward to this and you did not disappoint. Trying to plan what parks we're gonna hit for 2024 and you've given me a lot to think about! (Velocicoaster is my current #1, but I've also only been on about 1/5 of your total list - was happy to see my home park's El Toro so high, but even I haven't been on it in years due to its recent history, I hope it still holds up!) It's been years since I've been on Wicked Cyclone, but that was my first RMC when I rode it, and then Twisted Timbers topped it years later and then Wildcat's Revenge topped both for me this year. But I look at that and I think....whatever RMC I'm riding at the time is probably my favorite, so there ya go! Can't wait to get on Steel Vengeance and Iron Gwazi.
So far my favorite coaster is probably gonna stay steel Vengeance, i really can not change my opinion on it as it's just a perfect ride, but an unpopular opinion would be putting voyage in 2nd
steve really did live up to the hype this year. as a somewhat larger gentleman i was afraid the lapbar was going to use my stomach like a boxing speed bag like El toro did and twisted timbers sometimes does, but i was very glad that wasn't the case. i should probably get back on the treadmill though
Great video, Chris! My personal top 10 after my rides this year, after an 18 year stop between: 10. The Beast, Kings Island No one will ever say that the Beast isn’t a legendary ride, especially me, considering it’s just 16 days older than me! The first half is a lot smoother, but the helix beat me up pretty bad. But when I go back in the summer, plan to get another ride on this monster, see if it rises. 9. Vortex, Kings Island The only defunct coaster in my top 10, I absolutely loved Vortex and one of my greatest regrets is not getting one last ride in before it was torn down. 8. Rock n Roller Coaster, Disney’s Hollywood Studios A ride that reminded me a lot of Flight of Fear at Kings Island, I enjoyed the launch and the inversions were pretty smooth. The issue is that the theming just feels..off. 7. Flight of Fear, Kings Island Formerly my #1 coaster, this was my first ride after 18 years and I was glad to get it. But considering what lies ahead, it’s just ok. Still a rush! 6. The Incredible Hulk Coaster, Universal’s Islands of Adventure If B&M were to bring a coaster like this to the Vortex plot of land, I would be completely satisfied with it! They won’t, and I totally get why, but so intense, such great elements and glossy smooth! 5. TRON Lightcycle/Run, Disney’s Magic Kingdom If Rock n Roller Coaster had this kind of theming, I likely would have ranked it higher, but Disney and Vekoma came together to deliver something special here and the theming and ride is amazing, a must do at Magic Kingdom! 4. Orion, Kings Island The tallest and fastest coaster on my list, I enjoyed Orion more than I thought I would. Earlier this year I had ranked it one higher but after second thoughts, I ranked it one lower. Still an awesome experience but considering what lies ahead, just ok. 3. Banshee, Kings Island My very first B&M invert, this ride simply blew me away with its smoothness and elements, a definite must do at Kings Island. 2. Diamondback, Kings Island This was my #1 coaster for about 4 months, and my favorite coaster at Kings Island! Simply amazing airtime, I never felt my butt in the seat 90% of the ride and I can’t wait to get more rides in 2024! 1. Velocicoaster, Universal’s Islands of Adventure This is the total package. Great theming, intensity, smoothness, a ride that leaves you wondering just what the hell happened to you when you get off the ride. It’s gonna take a while before I get back to get more rides, and I admit to wanting rides on RMCs but hopefully I get another shot at Velocicoaster before I get to be too old!
Who knew one of the best coasters in the world would be based on the voyage of the pilgrams??? Love Holiday World, love the Thanksgiving themed area in general. Thunderbird is my favorite wing coaster, and I LOVE a wing coaster. Not to mention the excellent turkey roundup dark ride :D
Really… Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket was that high for you? That was probably my number 4 at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure behind Hulk, Hagrid’s and Velocicoaster.
I’m very curious to what you like in a roller coaster. Your list is very unique. If you haven’t made a video about that already, I’d like to see what types interest you more.
I have ridden all but Arie Force One in your Top 10, and most of my Top 10 is the same coasters as yours, just in a different order...I have Skyrush, Maverick, and X2 in mine, with Wicked Cyclone at 11 and Twisted Colossus at 15. After that it's all over the place, a ton of variety in how one person would rank their top 100 vs. another. But I think there's a definite population of coasters that ~70% of people could probably agree on for the Top 10, i.e. any 2 people's Top 10 would probably share 7 coasters or so (at least within the US).
I officially disagree about Orion being number 44 it should be higher I really love it for being my first B&M Giga I rode but not the first Giga my first Giga I rode was Millennium Force but when I rode Orion I was like lot smoother and I feel like it’s faster than Millennium Force by far the best should be on the top 10 in my opinion, but I do miss Firehawk my second flying coaster my first flying coaster I rode was Manta at Seaworld Orlando
I've only been on 100 coasters. Phantom's Revenge is my top 20. Its also at my home park. When i see people who have higher coaster counts have it in their top 50. I feel proud to only live 15 minutes away from it.
I loved El toro in 2006 and Kingda Ka in 2006, I loved Velocicoaster and it stands as my number 1 and unfortunately I can’t ride coasters anymore due to severe motion sickness and I’m devastated because I want to go to epic universe next year!
Well you do honor your name for me airtime while importend is about the least importend of the importend elements so yup of all the coasters i have ridden on your list we defently have very differnet opinions (x2 is probable the only one we agree on). I have to say you are consistend so a good bench mark for what i like so i have scale down my expectations of airy force still gonna like that one but probable a bit less then i expected. Looks to me you only did sweden in europe maybe the UK, finland and denmark to. Because i expected at least 1 coaster in the top 50 from all other european country's that have some decent coasters (unless you went to france (parc astrix) before 2023).
This is a crazy list. I don't know anybody that ranks a lot of these coasters like you do. You got a few of the best up at the top but some of those lower down should be higher and I don't know how you rank your B&Ms because they seem all out of whack. Plus many of the best wood coasters aren't on this list and they're far better than a lot of the ones you list. Also, your RMC ranking seems out of whack other than the two big ones. Mine is quite different but sometimes similar. However, I never rank steel and wood together, all serious coaster polls rank them separately.
Seeing Joker move down from the top 30 hurts, but i love seeing it in your top 50. It’s truly an amazing RMC
I've never ridden an RMC coaster before, but my family and I might have our 1st one in Stunt Pilot at Silverwood next year, maybe. One of my biggest roller coaster bucket lists is to ride at least 10 RMC's in the States.
Even the lesser RMCs are still great rides
@@Jlaps941 I can't wait to ride it
Man, Wicked Cyclone at 5. Gut puncher. That’s crazy.
After rides like Arieforce, Velocicoaster, and Iron Gwazi, Steel Vengeance is somehow still my favorite as well
same
another year another “wow he put Rip Ride Rockit that high??”
Rip Ride was boring to me . Intimidator/ Project 305 should be in this spot. But this is his page and his opinion.
Sheeesh makin us feel old with the "6 years running" steel vengeance lol. I totally agree. I think it is the fury325/velosicoaster of the RMCs. The speed, intensity, world record amount of air time, 2+ minute ride. It's AWESOME. Literally best in the world. It's so hard to beat.
Making YOU feel old??? My dude, I'm old enough to remember when Mean Streak was built! Hell, I'm old enough to say I rode Magnum in its first year. I remember Geauga Lake, and had season passes for it. Holy shit, I'm old.😅
My top of the list is the Voyage, this ride was the definition of absolute perfection, the ride is like it never ends. And it only gets better and better each time I ride it.
Seeing diamondback out of your top 10 kind of hurts but i loved seeing it so high! It truly is the perfect hyper!
Glad to see that Cannibal is back in the top 25, and even better, it's higher than TMNT. Although I never would have suspected that it would have been higher than Wildcats Revenge.
As someone who has Lagoon as their home park, I have no clue how you would call it a top 25 coaster.
Wildcat is nothing special if you've been on a couple RMC's If it's your first one, it'll probably blow your dick off. Great coaster tho
@@andyroman8223 I agree. Cannibal is probably one of the most uncomfortable rides I’ve ever been on
@@KingWill04 Was it because of the lagoon roll? I recently discovered that the lagoon roll is much more enjoyable if you hold onto the handlebars, and try to keep your body upright.
I can respect every placement on this list… except rip ride rockit. Oof. I would rather wait in that 2 hour line for hagrids than walk on rip ride rockit. It’s that unbearable. Or did you get your red coasters with 12 passenger trains confused and mean to put Maverick in that spot? /lh
The efficiency to get through that many coasters in such a short time without it feeling rushed is very commendable.
I plan on doing a trip this summer to Kennywood, Cedar Point, and Kings Island. It's been 25 years since my only trip to Kennywood. 15 years since my only trip to Cedar Point. Never been to Kings Island. I already know the highlight of the trip will be my reunion with Steel Vengeance (also my #1). I rode it only once, but it was magical. Good List!

Rip ride rocket is one of the worst coasters I’ve ever ridden. I hope it gets removed as soon as possible.
My favorite coaster channel. Thanks for the hard work over the years.
Arie Force One?? Surprising! My least favorite of the RMC’s, but hard to tell where you’d put it during your video on it a ways back.
Are you planning to go to europe (zadra, RTH...) and Japan (eejanaika, hakugei...) ?
Evem though I want to say Steel Vengeance is my favorite, I always go with Velocicoaster
I can’t believe you put Millennium force over Maverick but everyone has differing opinions. For me personally and everyone I’ve gone to Cedar Point with we all like Maverick even over Steel Vengeance.
Great list. I’ve rode 87 of your 100. I guess my biggest difference is rip ride rockit. I found it rough. I’m in the camp for universal to replace it. But overall your list and video are quite entertaining and a must watch.
I wouldnt be surprised if next time i rode HRRR i hated it
Honestly I didn't ride it the first time I was there because I heard so many bad reviews but the second year I bit the bullet and I'm so glad I did. It wasn't nearly as rough as everybody claimed it was and I thought it was a great coaster.

The end is just riddled with Californian coasters, lol
Great America IL is my home park got 1 untrimmed ride on raging bullthis year back seat it launches you out of your seat still best ride in the park
Phantoms revenge is perfectly placed. I know i always wish it was longer when i ride it. Hopefully kennywood brings another top tier coaster to the burgh soon. If they do, kennywood would probably become a premier park like hershey

When it comes to El Toro, the 2nd to back row (row 17) is the way to go.
The best part of Christmas isn’t the gifts, it’s all the annual thoosie ranking videos
Both are amazing lol
Really, who can actually take this list seriously when Skyrush isn't in the top 100, but Phoenix is 35. Bet he's got the A's in his top 5 on his baseball channel.
The biggest shock for me here is Diamondback. Wow, you really love that coaster.
its amazing
I've Noticed He Really Loves B&M And RMC
@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od I’m actually with him on his ranking of Fury325, but while I do love Diamondback, I can name quite a number of B&M hypers I’d rank above it.
I really do. My last ride in 2022 really bolstered it

HRRR is very underrated, its such a good ride
As someone who’s. Home park is Kenny wood I’m happy with 30 for phantom
As a Carowinds home parker with countless Fury rides since 2015 I can confidently say post crack fury is at its best and it dosent even touch velocicoaster.
I just love Twisted Timbers
airtime thrills: tmnt shellraiser has one of the most unique layouts ever
tmnt shellraiser: *is literally a clone
Was going to get on Shellraiser this weekend but the park extended its maintenance that was supposed to end the 15th by a month, guess I'll need to wait another year
Lemme guess, Steel Vengeance is number 1
Edit: knew it
Rode Vengence for the first time this past summer and I can see why it's your No. 1!
If you don’t make it down to re-ride Boardwalk Bullet this year, I will make the drive from Austin to Oklahoma and make a stop at Home Depot to buy a torch and pitchfork 🤣
.steve over the dog fart coaster??????????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME??!!!
30 seconds of airtime vs the air of a dog's fart...close call
I would go on pretty much any coaster instead of Rip Ride Rocket...sad to see it ranked higher then Monster in my home park! Glad Monster made your top 50 though :)
Oh yeah? Would you gladly ride Vekoma SLCs or Flying Dutchmans?
Iron Gwazi is the Best coaster in our southeast in my opinion
Superman the Ride took a big hit with no suprises
100 LIKES😀
Once you get to Japan and ride Hakugei, Steve will be dethroned
14:37 That crack joke had me, look at Fury's broken support.
it cracked me up
“[Shellraiser] has one of the most unique layouts ever”
I get the point you’re making, but that’s still a funny thing to say about a clone
I wonder what number one will be steel vengeance haaa I would have never guessed # shocked
Love seeing Wicked Cyclone so high up on your list! Though I'm absolutely shocked that it's ranked over Iron Gwazi. IG for me is a god tier coaster. Happy Holidays
IG is great but the fact that its not good til mid day does hurt it
I’m personally a maverick fanboy great vid❤
The people who say El toro is rough they are right, I rode it in the summer and it was super rough
How is x2 lower than all of those mid coasters??? It can't be true
I love x2 but it definitely cant crack my top 10
You have me contemplating going to the cedar fair park in Northern California. Also I need to take some serious vacation time and catch up on my coasters.
You should since it wont be around much longer

It's been years since I've been on Wicked Cyclone, but that was my first RMC when I rode it, and then Twisted Timbers topped it years later and then Wildcat's Revenge topped both for me this year. But I look at that and I think....whatever RMC I'm riding at the time is probably my favorite, so there ya go! Can't wait to get on Steel Vengeance and Iron Gwazi.
Why did Griffin fall off the list?
Do you have your full list posted anywhere?
So far my favorite coaster is probably gonna stay steel Vengeance, i really can not change my opinion on it as it's just a perfect ride, but an unpopular opinion would be putting voyage in 2nd
I've been shifting voyage and Steve for a while and I'm keeping Steve at top for now but next year ill see for sure
HRRR is so high 😂😂 what a list
Fury and Twisted Timbers ❤️
steve really did live up to the hype this year. as a somewhat larger gentleman i was afraid the lapbar was going to use my stomach like a boxing speed bag like El toro did and twisted timbers sometimes does, but i was very glad that wasn't the case. i should probably get back on the treadmill though
I think that Batman gotham city scape have to be in the top but os your opinion so i can’t say enything
It would be if i rode it
So I assume you're not going to Europe next year?
Nope i am going somewhere else instead
No I305 in the top 50 is wild
I expected Phoenix to fall a bit and was pleasantly surprised to see it get a minor bump up instead.
Great video, Chris!
My personal top 10 after my rides this year, after an 18 year stop between:
10. The Beast, Kings Island
No one will ever say that the Beast isn’t a legendary ride, especially me, considering it’s just 16 days older than me! The first half is a lot smoother, but the helix beat me up pretty bad. But when I go back in the summer, plan to get another ride on this monster, see if it rises.
9. Vortex, Kings Island
The only defunct coaster in my top 10, I absolutely loved Vortex and one of my greatest regrets is not getting one last ride in before it was torn down.
8. Rock n Roller Coaster, Disney’s Hollywood Studios
A ride that reminded me a lot of Flight of Fear at Kings Island, I enjoyed the launch and the inversions were pretty smooth. The issue is that the theming just feels..off.
7. Flight of Fear, Kings Island
Formerly my #1 coaster, this was my first ride after 18 years and I was glad to get it. But considering what lies ahead, it’s just ok. Still a rush!
6. The Incredible Hulk Coaster, Universal’s Islands of Adventure
If B&M were to bring a coaster like this to the Vortex plot of land, I would be completely satisfied with it! They won’t, and I totally get why, but so intense, such great elements and glossy smooth!
5. TRON Lightcycle/Run, Disney’s Magic Kingdom
If Rock n Roller Coaster had this kind of theming, I likely would have ranked it higher, but Disney and Vekoma came together to deliver something special here and the theming and ride is amazing, a must do at Magic Kingdom!
4. Orion, Kings Island
The tallest and fastest coaster on my list, I enjoyed Orion more than I thought I would. Earlier this year I had ranked it one higher but after second thoughts, I ranked it one lower. Still an awesome experience but considering what lies ahead, just ok.
3. Banshee, Kings Island
My very first B&M invert, this ride simply blew me away with its smoothness and elements, a definite must do at Kings Island.
2. Diamondback, Kings Island
This was my #1 coaster for about 4 months, and my favorite coaster at Kings Island! Simply amazing airtime, I never felt my butt in the seat 90% of the ride and I can’t wait to get more rides in 2024!
1. Velocicoaster, Universal’s Islands of Adventure
This is the total package. Great theming, intensity, smoothness, a ride that leaves you wondering just what the hell happened to you when you get off the ride. It’s gonna take a while before I get back to get more rides, and I admit to wanting rides on RMCs but hopefully I get another shot at Velocicoaster before I get to be too old!
Can’t wait to ride Velocicoaster in a few days🙂
Who knew one of the best coasters in the world would be based on the voyage of the pilgrams??? Love Holiday World, love the Thanksgiving themed area in general. Thunderbird is my favorite wing coaster, and I LOVE a wing coaster. Not to mention the excellent turkey roundup dark ride :D
Really… Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket was that high for you? That was probably my number 4 at Universal Studios/Islands of Adventure behind Hulk, Hagrid’s and Velocicoaster.
I’m very curious to what you like in a roller coaster. Your list is very unique. If you haven’t made a video about that already, I’d like to see what types interest you more.
I have ridden all but Arie Force One in your Top 10, and most of my Top 10 is the same coasters as yours, just in a different order...I have Skyrush, Maverick, and X2 in mine, with Wicked Cyclone at 11 and Twisted Colossus at 15. After that it's all over the place, a ton of variety in how one person would rank their top 100 vs. another. But I think there's a definite population of coasters that ~70% of people could probably agree on for the Top 10, i.e. any 2 people's Top 10 would probably share 7 coasters or so (at least within the US).
My top 5 is Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Fury 325, Phantom’s Revenge, & Goliath(SFOG).
How come x2 went down from your best coasters in california ranking from ghostrider.
I officially disagree about Orion being number 44 it should be higher I really love it for being my first B&M Giga I rode but not the first Giga my first Giga I rode was Millennium Force but when I rode Orion I was like lot smoother and I feel like it’s faster than Millennium Force by far the best should be on the top 10 in my opinion, but I do miss Firehawk my second flying coaster my first flying coaster I rode was Manta at Seaworld Orlando
I love it when the grass grows around new coasters the years after it opens. I notice it with Orion.
I305 definitely had that. It was so bare when it opened
I've only been on 100 coasters. Phantom's Revenge is my top 20. Its also at my home park. When i see people who have higher coaster counts have it in their top 50. I feel proud to only live 15 minutes away from it.
I loved El toro in 2006 and Kingda Ka in 2006, I loved Velocicoaster and it stands as my number 1 and unfortunately I can’t ride coasters anymore due to severe motion sickness and I’m devastated because I want to go to epic universe next year!
Well you do honor your name for me airtime while importend is about the least importend of the importend elements so yup of all the coasters i have ridden on your list we defently have very differnet opinions (x2 is probable the only one we agree on). I have to say you are consistend so a good bench mark for what i like so i have scale down my expectations of airy force still gonna like that one but probable a bit less then i expected.
Looks to me you only did sweden in europe maybe the UK, finland and denmark to. Because i expected at least 1 coaster in the top 50 from all other european country's that have some decent coasters (unless you went to france (parc astrix) before 2023).
It’s too bad Gold Striker wasn’t a tiny bit better for you Chris, or 49th place on your list would’ve been very appropriate thematically 😂
This is a crazy list. I don't know anybody that ranks a lot of these coasters like you do. You got a few of the best up at the top but some of those lower down should be higher and I don't know how you rank your B&Ms because they seem all out of whack. Plus many of the best wood coasters aren't on this list and they're far better than a lot of the ones you list. Also, your RMC ranking seems out of whack other than the two big ones. Mine is quite different but sometimes similar. However, I never rank steel and wood together, all serious coaster polls rank them separately.
I'll pay you $20 to swap out Hollywood Brake Brake Rockit with Volcano: The Blast Coaster.
This is an amazing video and I hope I soon become an enthusiast like you keep up the good work
Thank you so much your the best!!!
