Thank you all for OVER 100K views!!! This is BY FAR the best any video has ever done on my channel, I really appreciate the love and support! Let me know what videos you wanna see in the future in this thread 👇
It’s awesome to see another Six Flags park ranking! You did a phenomenal job and I appreciate anyone willing to make a long analysis of each park. I would definitely put Great America and Over Texas higher, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that you did a great job here.
Thank you so much! I definitely think that these rankings could all easily change with new visits because it all comes down to how the park is running when you go. Thanks for commenting!
As a Great America regular, all comments check out correctly. Raging Bull is my clear favorite though. It’s a super long ride with tons of fun with a line that actually moves fairly quickly. Love the experience
Lol it is most certainly not “super long”, hahaha. That park doesn’t have any long coasters, besides murican eagle. They penny pinch, big time. That’s one of the biggest complaints about it
@@coasterswithmattI dunno about “awesome”. Of course, the first drop in the very back row is pretty universally considered a top 5 steel coaster first drop, but after that, RB is pretty widely regarded as the worst BnM hyper alongside Silver Star & Intrimidator
@@marcbasil I don’t think raging bull is the best hyper ever, but it’s also no where near the worst. Appolo’s Chariot is by far the weakest, and I got pretty weak rides on Nitro too. Intimidator at Carowinds was actually a really good ride too despite what people have to say about it.
@@coasterswithmatt RB is almost universally regarded as one of the worst hypers ever made. It’s typically mentioned as such, alongside Intrimidator & Silver Star lol. It was such a faceplant that they never revisited the hyper twister model ever again. After the first drop, it literally just meanders around, and any potential airtime moments are slaughtered by the infamous three trims
Nice video….my biggest problem with your rankings though is that it’s all based on the coasters….flat rides, water rides, theming, food, operations, dark rides, etc should all be factored in to the overall quality of a park….which is why my top 3 are different from yours.
Theming and operations are factored in for sure, when it comes to flat rides, water rides, and dark rides, once you’ve ridden one you’ve ridden them all at Six Flags so I don’t care for them. And most of the Six Flags parks have all the same food. So that is why I focus more on the coasters in the video! But I did bring up theming and operations, especially at the parks that had it either really good or really bad.
Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America is my favorite ride. It is also basically the same ride as Goliath in Magic Mountain. The only noticeable difference between the two sequence wise are the first drops after the initial climb. Raging Bull has a very tiny drop right after the first climb.
@marcbasil you are completely out of touch. B&M designed their own track, which is 100% different than the Giovanola track. There are no similarities between the two. The Titan you are talking about is not the one he is talking about. He's talking bout Titan at SFOG, not that pile of junk at SFOT. Titan at SFOT doesn't even have any airtime, save for a split second of floater on the bunny hill. Titan at SFOG is packed full of airtime.
@@marcbasil ummmm B&M made their hyper model before Giavanola ever made a rollercoaster, which they only made two, Goliath and Titan. Goliath and Titan have super shallow drops, and only one single airtime hill each, so they are nothing like B&M hypers lol.
In my opinion, Great America deserves to be in the top three. In addition to having a great lineup of really thrilling rides, there's plenty for the whole family to do. My four-year-old can get on over 30 rides in the park including five roller coasters. That is really saying something.
That’s awesome that there is so much to do for your kid! I will say the list is 90% based off of the thrill coasters so that is why parks with maybe less for the kids but more/better coasters are ranked higher
How is it top 3? Fiesta Texas is obviously the best 6F park. After that, great adventure & magic mountain. Great Americas lineup is way overrated. They have a big collection, but they’re all mostly prototype models & extremely short coasters. It’s also probably the WORST of the major 6F parks for airtime, especially for ejector airtime. You can literally count the ejector moments at that entire park on one hand: three (?) moments in Goliath (probably the worst RMC), the first drop on RB (but ONLY in the back row), and the first drop on Demon (but only in the third to last row). How pathetic is that for a park with such a massive lineup, LOL. There’s a reason why thoosies dump that park so frequently.
This is a great ranking video, I love how detailed your analysis is. I’ve only been to two Six Flags parks, Magic Mountain and America, but I hope to get out to the Texas ones next. I never realized how crazy MM’s lineup was until I started going to other parks, it’s STACKED!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I try to be detailed so people can understand what I am talking about even when they haven’t been to the parks. Magic Mountain is seriously STACKED, definitely deserving of the #1 spot.
I’m a bit biased for St. Louis, my hometown park and current workplace. I fully agree that St. Louis could 100% be a mid-to-high-tier park with a few new good additions. Fortunately for us, it seems corporate took notice, and a lot of love is going into the park right now. We’re getting our first brand new ground up coaster since American Thunder in 2008 (awesome addition despite just being a Vekoma family coaster), lots of renovations of obviously aging buildings and infrastructure, and general improvements in the in-park experience, new paint, landscaping, etc. We’re all hoping and praying for RMC Boss, I personally believe it would make SFSL a must visit destination.
Great Adventure is my home park, figured I’d add a bit to your opinions! I completely agree with nearly everything said; however, Nitro, when it’s running fast, is insane. The helix makes most people who aren’t “coaster people” grey out. I even had one the other week, and Intimidator 305 did nada to me. Green Lantern deserves its hate; I usually avoid it whenever I go. It’s one of the better stand-ups, but it’s just a model I don’t enjoy. I thought up until recently that Jersey Devil was pretty lackluster compared to the original Raptors (I haven’t made it to Magic Mountain yet) until I was blessed with a front row ride last week. Blown away by how wild and forceful it was, I recommend it. Skull Mountain used to be a well-themed, fun ride when the building was dark, and they had effects. There haven’t been the eerie noises on the lift, the jack-o-lanterns, the strobes, the blacklit tiki faces, or the giant skull with red eyes for years. I don’t know how they haven’t fixed any; probably not a priority but the rides basically nothing at the moment. Also, I believe Premier Rides made Runaway Mountain, and Intamin made Skull Mountain. Both opened the same year and have similar themes but differ in many ways. The Dark Knight used to have an excellent pre-show video and way more working theming and sounds on the actual ride, but it is still in far better condition than the Skull Mountain effects. I miss that train to the right at the final brake run, though. P.S. El Toro is smoother and faster than ever. The beast is back, haha Great Video; somehow, the first of yours, I’ve been recommenced. I loved the insight and opinions on every park! Still have yet to make it to all of them, currently focusing on Cedar Fair and Sea World parks.
I really want to get out to fiesta texas! It’s ride lineup has gotten crazy over the years especially with the addition with a dive coaster which rounds it out and gives it another unique ride. And a floorless and two rmcs? Can’t go wrong right?
As a discovery kingdom goer Medusa is one of my favorites but of course I haven’t left the state so I can’t exactly talk even though I wish I could, but I have gone to every park in the state
Tatsu is my favorite coaster ever. Better than any RMC. When I was younger, my dad rode it and he was complaining about how terrible and unsafe it felt, so I wasn't expecting much, but it blew me away and is my favorite ride. X2 is great, and a solid #2 pick, but only if both the audio and fire are working. It's less than 50 seconds after the chain lift and unless the music and fire are on, I feel cheated waiting for 2 hours to get on. Twisted Colossus is better than X2 if only 1 or neither effects are working. Also, Roar at SFA is not bad if you ride in the middle. The front is boring and the back is rough, but the middle is fun.
Good to know about Roar, and I can agree that it sucks when the effects on X2 aren’t working, but for me they are just bonus. I mainly ride it for the insane drop and intensity. Tatsu is a great ride for sure though and I can respect you having it as your #1!
I went to Six Flags New England on opening day this year, and all the coasters that were open were running fast!Not only were they running fast, but not or the trims or midcourse brakes were on! I got ejector air on the Pandemonium clone! Superman ran so fast and gave such good air, the person next me thought they broke thier ass on it! Hope they run this good the rest of the season!
I personally love Six Flags Fiesta Texas but I live in San Antonio so it's close to home. Thanks so much for the rankings and your impressions because i am a thrill ride junkie and now this makes me want to see what the other parks have to offer
The number 1 Six Flag Park is DEFINITELY Magic Mountain 💯 Great America, Great Adventures, and Fiesta Texas make up the rest of the top 4. What order you olace them in is personal preference at that point.
Great America is hands down the second best. It is the most well rounded park besides magic mountain and the theming is great. You could argue that fiesta Texas is second but great America takes the cake. Discovery kingdom is most definitely 4th. It does not even come close to fiesta and great America. The only top tier coaster is to toro and the launch on kingda ka can get pretty rough. Raging bull is way better than nitro, Goliath is a better rmc than jersey devil, el toro is definitely better than viper and American eagle, but el toro can’t carry the park.
I see your points and respect your opinion for sure! I think all of the top 5 parks are super close and could all easily change spots for me after future visits!
fiesta Texas over great America is a crime most off the time the rides at fiesta are closed and in my opinion great America has better and more unique rides. Great America also has a lot of records
Maybe I got lucky at Fiesta because everything was open for me! Except the boomerang lol but it’s a clone so I didn’t really care. Either way though I respect your opinion because Great America is an amazing park!
This is the best ranking of six flags parks I’ve seen. I’ve been to the top two parks and love both of them and agree that Magic Mountain is overall the better park. Another reason is setting and weather. I feel Valencia has better weather, terrain, trees, theming, etc. Thanks for the video!
At over Georgia, the ride staff on twisted cyclone yelled at me and my sister for their mistake, very rude. But, I still really like this park and I really enjoyed my day there
@@dylanwhite6539 i mean the staff doesnt impact the coaster itself. Staff comes and goes bad staff is more of a negative impact on the park than the ride itself
Over Texas is easily one of the best six flags parks. “Doesn’t have that one unique coaster.” Because it has one of the best overall lineups. Any ride you want is there. Didn’t hate on the list until that
It’s not a bad park, my point was the others are simply better. I actually really enjoyed over Texas! But it can’t compete with parks like Great Adventure and Magic Mountain
I love amusement parks but im still getting over my fear so i like wix flags new england it has some very good coasters that slowly build up so for me it is in my top 2
I really like some of the flat rides at Great Escape which I wish you had mentioned. They have a really fast indoor scrambler, the new extremely thrilling adirondack outlaw ride, a nice double drop tower, and a few other great supporting rides
I did mention that they had a good collection of flats, but many of them were closed when I went so I couldn’t review them. Plus I didn’t ride flats at most of these parks because I was tight on time so that’s why I did it the way I did.
I've only ever been to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom! Sadly, it's no longer a Six Flags park! I definitely wanna check out these parks though thanks to your video!
Pretty informative. Would really like to check out Six Flags NE. In addition, lived out in SoCal for 8 years and never made Magic Mountain. Currently in Texas. Just spent two days at Over Texas. And next month, headed back to Fiesta Texas and Sea World. Good video! 👍🏼👍🏼
New England is a great little park. That’s crazy you never checked out Magic Mountain, you definitely gotta come back and go! Glad you got to hit Over Texas and are going to SeaWorld and Fiesta, I hope you have fun! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@coasterswithmatt I always go to NE, I really think you would like Superman, it’s not for me cause I’m not a big rollercoaster person. Although it as no upside downs, it has a great drop and start off. I blacked out 💀 Because my fear of heights is awful Edit: didn’t watch the whole vid, but Superman is awesome. I definitely suggest Cyclone, it may not be a rollercoaster but it is really great!
From what I've been to, I would say: 1) Great Adventure 2) Fiesta Texas 3) Over Texas 4) New England 5) America Hoping to get to Great America and Over Georgia this year
While it hurts my soul to see my local park rank second to last, I can’t exactly argue with what you said lollll. It’s a fun place, but it’s not big on the thrill seeker type of thing lol. The biggest problem most locals have is that when Six Flags bought the park, they raised the prices without changing or improving anything. This isn’t exactly the wealthiest part of the country, so the price boost brought tickets out of the budget for a lot of locals. If they fixed up the place or added new things then I might consider it, but not as it is now.
Great adventure ahh..the memories. Used to live an hour away from it in NJ. Some im pretty biased when it comes to any other park, not just six flags lol. I mean how can you beat Nitro?! That will always be my #1 ever.
My Rankings I've Been To Every Six Flags Park Except Mexico (Btw My List Is Pretty Generic Till The Top 4) 14 Frontier City (Best Coaster: Diamondback) 13 Great Escape (Best Coaster: The Comet) 12 La Ronde (Best Coaster: Goliath) 11 Six Flags Darien Lake (Best Coaster: Ride Of Steel) 10 Six Flags America (Best Coaster: Superman Ride Of Steel) 9 Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (Best Coaster: Joker) 8 Six Flags St Louis (Best Coaster: The Boss) 7 Six Flags New England (Best Coaster: Wicked Cyclone) 6 Six Flags Over Texas (Best Coaster: New Texas Giant) 5 Six Flags Over Georgia (Best Coaster: Twisted Cyclone Btw Over Georgia's Coaster Lineup > Great Adventure/Great America The Operations Do Hold This Park Back Though) 4 Six Flags Magic Mountain (Best Coaster: Twisted Colossus Some May Find It Surprising I Have This So.Low But The Coaster Lineup Is Overrated And The Operations Are Abysmal) 3 Six Flags Great Adventure (Best Coaster: El Toro Better Park Atmosphere And Operations Then Magic Mountain Despite Having A Worse Coaster Lineup) 2 Six Flags Great America (Best Coaster: Raging Bull This Park Has A Deep And Unique Coaster Lineup With Some Of The Best Operations in The Chain But The Following Park Has Better Theming Park Atmosphere Operations And Coaster Lineup Then Great America) 1 Six Flags Fiesta Texas: (Best Coaster Iron Rattler: Super Underrated All Around Operations Are The Best In The Chain The Coaster Lineup Is The Second Best In The Chain Park Atmosphere Is Easily The Best And The Theming Is Great Easily The Best Six Flags Park)
I was kinda surprised by the rating of twisted cyclone at over Georgia. It’s short but intense, though I probably wouldn’t wait more than about 30 minutes for it and being so close to the front of the park it can have a long line. Wouldn’t call it my favorite though. I’d put Superman ultimate flight at the top, Goliath at 2nd, Batman at 3rd & dare devil dive at 4th which I didn’t even see you mention. The rest are pretty on par with each other
To me Twisted Cyclone is fun but it could have been so much more, still a great ride though! Also, I briefly mentioned Dare Devil Dive, but didn’t go too in depth on it because I only had time to go in depth on a few rides per each park.
I always thought that because Six Flags Over Texas was the original Six Flags park AND it's in Texas (everything's bigger in Texas), you would assume that every single ride would range from great at worst, phenomenal at best. I'm a Great America guy since it's the closest park to me and am glad that it's ranked high, but SFOT should have the best of the best out of all Six Flags parks, and they should have at least two thrill rides that are "f-k you" insane; even beyond Texas Giant and Titan. Fiesta Texas looks fun though. Also, for anyone that would normally accuse Matt of bias for ranking Magic Mountain at top spot because he's "been there more than any other Six Flags park", why do you think he keeps going there? Aside from location, perhaps it's that good? Also, they have Tatsu, so I'm jealous.
Yeah Over Texas has some great rides, but nothing insane enough to rip your face off. Naturally Maguc Mountain ranks high since it has a few rides that do
@@coasterswithmatt yep, that’s what they tend to do now. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something opened without replacing another ride. There’s just no more room 😂
I love six flags new jersey, and the first time I rode el Toro it was a blast...but what makes me kinda wanna backa way from it was a week after we went the ride had that pretty bad accident before we went back that same week it happened😅 that same day they also closed kingda ca before we got a chance to ride it bc they heard some noises from the ride. Also I'm shocked that you put six flag America at 9, as someone who goes there a lot since it's in my home town, I've rode everything by this point and let me just say this rq. You're so damn lucky as to not ride mind eraser. That ride is enough to possibly give you a concession which is why their removing it. Also the rides are amazing yes but it's the people that go to the park that makes me not like it. Always someone fighting😭
I've only ever been so Discovery Kingdom so I came here to see where you ranked it and I'm so happy that someone agrees with me about Kong. Everyone I've ever talked to loves Kong despite how painful and rough it is but I hate it.
@@coasterswithmatt it's so bad, that you literally have to "learn" how to ride it in order to have fun. It's a terrible ride, but pushing your head back in a certain way makes it a bit more bearable.
@@coasterswithmatt Fair point lol. It's my local park, and it's only only coaster I straight up refuse to ride. I will ride the kiddie coasters before that one.
Six flags over GA is my home park. Which honestly im thankful for because of goliath. But the twisted cyclone opinion hurt my soul. Honestly my second favorite ride under goliath. I find that while yes the drop could definitely be longer and the inversions could be a bit more forceful, i find that the ejector are time is amazing. While it is a short ride, the layout packs a punch with imo no filler moments. Everything else is agree with though. Scorcher is definitely a pretty shit coaster. And for me dare decil dive would be so much better if it wasnt for the wait that can reach up to 2 and a half hours every day. I only ride that as my first ride or i wait til way later in the day when its a walk on. Good video though :)
@@XXDawgs I really enjoy SFOG and have gotten some better rides on Cyclone last year! Overall my opinion is it is still pretty mid, but it's #2 behind Goliath for sure
The reason why Great Escape is so unique is that it was originally built in the 1950s as Storytown USA. If you look at 1:42 of the video, you can see the sign in the foreground reads, "Storytown Train Station" and is a callback to the Great Escape's history. When it was opened it was themed after mostly Mother Goose nursery rhymes. This is why the park has the big shoe, and the little houses for kids to go in and out of, and even an Alice in Wonderland walkthrough attraction. Totally understand why a coaster enthusiast would rate it in last place, but from a family perspective this place should be close to the top.
That is very interesting! I wish the park was better taken care of so those things could shine more! The park has charm, but like many six flags parks it is also kind of a dump.
@@coasterswithmatt Totally agree with that assessment. I'm lucky I live basically halfway between Great Escape and New England so when the kids are little you go to Great Escape when they're older, New England!
I've been to both Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Fiesta and I prefer Over Texas personally. Like you said it comes down to personal opinion, but for me I don't like upside down coasters so all the coasters with multiple loops and corkscrews aren't ride able so that doesn't leave many options for me at Fiesta. I do agree that Fiesta is prettier with the rock quarry, but ride wise it's worse for me.
I only came to this video to see six flags discovery kingdom (my home park)and I’m surprised it got 8.I thought it would be like 12 or 13 but I’m happy it got 8
The only Six Flags parks I have ever visited are the three in California (Discovery Kingdom, Magic Mountain, and Great America) and I had a great time at all of them although the last time I went to one was in 2007. One complaint I have about this video though, is that you were just gushing over roller coasters and not talking about the park as a whole. I know the roller coasters are a highlight of any Six Flags theme park but they are not the only attractions there. There are other forms of entertainment (stage shows, animal exhibits, food etc.).
Six Flags is known to not really have great theming or family rides, but I feel like I mentioned the parks and rides that had it better. But either way all I really care about is the coasters and it is a ranking based off of my opinion, so that is why I focused on the coasters.
@@coryluscombe1239 there were 3 of that ride model, (Vekoma Flying Dutchman), I believe Batwing was actually built for SF America and has been there since 2001!
shocked at over texas placement . that park roller coaster line up is just mind blowing mainly bc all there coasters are GOOD . other then parks like magic mountain and great adventure that has a lot of coasters but some of them are hugely forgettable.Over texas theming and overall experience is better then most six flags park. Def a top 5 for sure
Over Texas has a lot of rides, but I will say none of them are particularly elite, compared to parks like Magic Mountain that have X2 and Twisted Colossus, or Great Adventure with El Toro and King Da Ka. That's why Over Texas ranks quite low for me. Still an awesome park though!
Joker is better to me because it has a unique layout with good airtime, Medusa is the best floorless, but once you have done one floorless you have done them all. Still a great ride though for sure.
The ones that talk down on SFMM Goliath are younger than the coaster.. it opened in 2000!!! Around the same time as Superman the escape. That time was about record breaking stats not efficiency and airtime
That is true, my dad says it was crazy for the time it opened. For me stats don’t matter though, the ride experience does, so Goliath is meh. Magic Mountain still reigns supreme though!
Please consider a thesaurus for alternatives to the words “decent” and “nowhere near”. And you don’t have to say “in my opinion” every other sentence because the audience knows it’s your opinion - it’s your video! Plus you add the disclaimer at the top that everything here is your opinion. We get it.
Hey, before I say anything I just want to say, thank you for watching and commenting your constructive criticism! I appreciate the tips, but I will say I do those things completely intentionally. I like to use similar phrases and terms to try to make my videos easy for my audience to understand. Of course I don’t want to sound repetitive, but I want to be clear and cohesive. When it comes to reiterating that everything is my opinion, I’m kinda screwed either way, if I don’t say it’s my opinion people will go off on me and say I’m wrong, but if I do then people may think I am repetitive. Honestly I would rather be repetitive and give a clear message then only say it once and have people misunderstand me. I hope you understand why I write my scripts the way I do now, feel free to respond and let me know what you think!
Enjoyed the video. I'm kinda new to this and just visited Over Georgia for the first time. Goliath...not my favorite, shakier then others I've ridden like Mako or Shambala but Superman, that was great, best ride in the park for me, barely beat out Monster Mansion ;) Probably wind up a America next.
You must have had a really slow ride on Nitro. The airtime on the first camelback is kinda mediocre but the 2nd camelback gives pretty dang good airtime. The helix is always a greyout every ride. The final bunny hills give pretty good flojector airtime in the back. If you go back to Great Adventure i recommend you ride in D Train to get the fastest experience. Also in 2023 Jersey Devil runs so much faster than in years past. I don’t know if it’s running faster than Wonder Woman but I think it is. Which is why I think it’s criminally underrated.
For SFOG, they are debuting a launch coaster called the Georgia Surfer for 2024. It's an Intamin Ultra Surf coaster that combines both the Mack Power Splash and Intamin Half Pipe, which was revealed at their Coaster Fest presentation back in August. The water effects is the main highlight of the attraction in which the park can customize however they like it
I have been to six flags great America the dark knight was the worst coaster for me the flashing lights and being in the dark and i almost passed out i think the best ride was vertical volicity if i go to an amusement park i ride maby one coaster and i mostly go on the flat rides
I have Visit 4 SF theme park first I would put SFDK at least number 6 but i have a issue with your list specially the Disrespect you gave SFOT(Six Flag Over Texas) i deserve to be in the top 5 let review the Rides Aquaman Power Wave, Batman, Mr. Freeze, New Texas Giant, Pandemonium, Shock Wave, Joker, TITAN, Runaway Mountain and Superman plus all the little rides that are not Thrill rides i just visit SFOT and SFFT and for me SFOT was better had more 1 2 punch that SFFT New Texas Giant was amazing its had a lot of air time I really don't know wtf you were talking about and to Disrespect TITAN which is Better than SFMM is had a __it load of airtime with great drops and 2 spiral come on man the Hate! Runway mountain was a great underrate Dark Ride it reminded me of Space mountain but shorter. as for your ranking at SFFT still wrong Wonder woman only had Speed over Iron Rattler i hope ppl don't listen to your review. IR had massive Airtime, Great drop and i left like i was going to leave my seat only issue wish it never stop but that's the ride that i would give 9.2 out 10 (only X2 is my 10 out 10).
Lol I didn’t mean to disrespect Over Texas, I simply have the opinion that some other parks are better. I will say Titan does suck, and you can’t change my mind on that 😂 yes it is TECHNICALLY better than Goliath, but all it adds is yet another helix, not any airtime or anything fun. Also, if you like Iron Rattler better than Wonder Woman that’s fine, but again, my video my opinion lol. So yeah, hope this helped!
Titan was amazing man i just dnt get how ppl dont like amazing but everyone has a different views. well im going with my Family next yr to Cedar point since everyone says its better than SFMM but i highly doubt cant want to go tho.@@coasterswithmatt
Of all the Six Flags parks I've been, my favorite is Six Flags Magic Mountain, followed by Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags Over Georgia, Six Flags New England, Six Flags America, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. The reason why Fiesta Texas was at the back of my ist wasn't the parks fault but mainly because my visit was a disappointment as I went during March of 2013 meaning Iron Rattler wasn't open yet, the waterpark was closed, and the wait lines were way too long. I hope to get back there soon and have a much better experience one day.
Thank you all for OVER 100K views!!! This is BY FAR the best any video has ever done on my channel, I really appreciate the love and support! Let me know what videos you wanna see in the future in this thread 👇
😊
It’s awesome to see another Six Flags park ranking! You did a phenomenal job and I appreciate anyone willing to make a long analysis of each park. I would definitely put Great America and Over Texas higher, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that you did a great job here.
Thank you so much! I definitely think that these rankings could all easily change with new visits because it all comes down to how the park is running when you go. Thanks for commenting!
Where would you rank OT?
@@johnulmerRacing #5
@@ThemeParkAvenue that's pretty high for OT. I can't imagine which two parks on the list would drop.
@@johnulmerRacing th-cam.com/video/OFhHgIoR7w4/w-d-xo.html
As a Great America regular, all comments check out correctly. Raging Bull is my clear favorite though. It’s a super long ride with tons of fun with a line that actually moves fairly quickly. Love the experience
Raging Bull is Awesome! They have so many great rides there!
Lol it is most certainly not “super long”, hahaha. That park doesn’t have any long coasters, besides murican eagle. They penny pinch, big time. That’s one of the biggest complaints about it
@@coasterswithmattI dunno about “awesome”. Of course, the first drop in the very back row is pretty universally considered a top 5 steel coaster first drop, but after that, RB is pretty widely regarded as the worst BnM hyper alongside Silver Star & Intrimidator
@@marcbasil I don’t think raging bull is the best hyper ever, but it’s also no where near the worst. Appolo’s Chariot is by far the weakest, and I got pretty weak rides on Nitro too. Intimidator at Carowinds was actually a really good ride too despite what people have to say about it.
@@coasterswithmatt RB is almost universally regarded as one of the worst hypers ever made. It’s typically mentioned as such, alongside Intrimidator & Silver Star lol. It was such a faceplant that they never revisited the hyper twister model ever again. After the first drop, it literally just meanders around, and any potential airtime moments are slaughtered by the infamous three trims
Nice video….my biggest problem with your rankings though is that it’s all based on the coasters….flat rides, water rides, theming, food, operations, dark rides, etc should all be factored in to the overall quality of a park….which is why my top 3 are different from yours.
Theming and operations are factored in for sure, when it comes to flat rides, water rides, and dark rides, once you’ve ridden one you’ve ridden them all at Six Flags so I don’t care for them. And most of the Six Flags parks have all the same food. So that is why I focus more on the coasters in the video! But I did bring up theming and operations, especially at the parks that had it either really good or really bad.
Your going to the wrong chain if you like theming.
@@ContentinMesa exactly
I only go to amusement parks for coasters so tto me the ranking are awesome lol
Coasters with Matt…. not Theme parks with Matt
Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America is my favorite ride. It is also basically the same ride as Goliath in Magic Mountain. The only noticeable difference between the two sequence wise are the first drops after the initial climb. Raging Bull has a very tiny drop right after the first climb.
I could see how they look similar, but they are quite different. Raging Bull has so much more airtime and is so much better to me.
Raging Bull was my favorite, but overall, I think x-flight is the best. BUT NOT MAXX FORCE! Maxx Force is kinda mid in my opinion.
@@coasterswithmattno, they’re literally the same for the most part. BnM worked for Giavanola prior to branching off & just used the blueprint lol
@marcbasil you are completely out of touch. B&M designed their own track, which is 100% different than the Giovanola track. There are no similarities between the two. The Titan you are talking about is not the one he is talking about. He's talking bout Titan at SFOG, not that pile of junk at SFOT. Titan at SFOT doesn't even have any airtime, save for a split second of floater on the bunny hill. Titan at SFOG is packed full of airtime.
@@marcbasil ummmm B&M made their hyper model before Giavanola ever made a rollercoaster, which they only made two, Goliath and Titan. Goliath and Titan have super shallow drops, and only one single airtime hill each, so they are nothing like B&M hypers lol.
In my opinion, Great America deserves to be in the top three. In addition to having a great lineup of really thrilling rides, there's plenty for the whole family to do. My four-year-old can get on over 30 rides in the park including five roller coasters. That is really saying something.
That’s awesome that there is so much to do for your kid! I will say the list is 90% based off of the thrill coasters so that is why parks with maybe less for the kids but more/better coasters are ranked higher
How is it top 3? Fiesta Texas is obviously the best 6F park. After that, great adventure & magic mountain. Great Americas lineup is way overrated. They have a big collection, but they’re all mostly prototype models & extremely short coasters. It’s also probably the WORST of the major 6F parks for airtime, especially for ejector airtime. You can literally count the ejector moments at that entire park on one hand: three (?) moments in Goliath (probably the worst RMC), the first drop on RB (but ONLY in the back row), and the first drop on Demon (but only in the third to last row). How pathetic is that for a park with such a massive lineup, LOL. There’s a reason why thoosies dump that park so frequently.
@@marcbasiltheres no way you said goliath is the worst rmc
@@calypsothebudgie3689 what’re you talking about…?
@@marcbasilWell, the lineup isn't that bad. Like this park is pretty good. And the fact that you didn't even mention vipers airtime is pathetic.
This is a great ranking video, I love how detailed your analysis is. I’ve only been to two Six Flags parks, Magic Mountain and America, but I hope to get out to the Texas ones next. I never realized how crazy MM’s lineup was until I started going to other parks, it’s STACKED!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! I try to be detailed so people can understand what I am talking about even when they haven’t been to the parks. Magic Mountain is seriously STACKED, definitely deserving of the #1 spot.
Too bad 6FMM is such a Iame park overall tho. Knotts is a way better experience
@@marcbasil yeah the operations and theming suck. I think Knott’s is better overall but SFMM has the better coasters
I’m a bit biased for St. Louis, my hometown park and current workplace. I fully agree that St. Louis could 100% be a mid-to-high-tier park with a few new good additions. Fortunately for us, it seems corporate took notice, and a lot of love is going into the park right now. We’re getting our first brand new ground up coaster since American Thunder in 2008 (awesome addition despite just being a Vekoma family coaster), lots of renovations of obviously aging buildings and infrastructure, and general improvements in the in-park experience, new paint, landscaping, etc. We’re all hoping and praying for RMC Boss, I personally believe it would make SFSL a must visit destination.
That’s great, I’m glad to hear that the park is getting the love it needs!
Same me and my friends make atleast 4-5 visits during the summer the staff is very friendly and social aswell
I remember & seen Information Society at St. Louis Six Flags in 88, plus Fright Night debut in 89
stl needs to be higher than america
also, did you know that six flags and RMC were 2 weeks away from making a deal on the boss when covid cancelled that 😢
Great Adventure is my home park, figured I’d add a bit to your opinions!
I completely agree with nearly everything said; however, Nitro, when it’s running fast, is insane. The helix makes most people who aren’t “coaster people” grey out. I even had one the other week, and Intimidator 305 did nada to me.
Green Lantern deserves its hate; I usually avoid it whenever I go. It’s one of the better stand-ups, but it’s just a model I don’t enjoy.
I thought up until recently that Jersey Devil was pretty lackluster compared to the original Raptors (I haven’t made it to Magic Mountain yet) until I was blessed with a front row ride last week. Blown away by how wild and forceful it was, I recommend it.
Skull Mountain used to be a well-themed, fun ride when the building was dark, and they had effects. There haven’t been the eerie noises on the lift, the jack-o-lanterns, the strobes, the blacklit tiki faces, or the giant skull with red eyes for years. I don’t know how they haven’t fixed any; probably not a priority but the rides basically nothing at the moment. Also, I believe Premier Rides made Runaway Mountain, and Intamin made Skull Mountain. Both opened the same year and have similar themes but differ in many ways.
The Dark Knight used to have an excellent pre-show video and way more working theming and sounds on the actual ride, but it is still in far better condition than the Skull Mountain effects. I miss that train to the right at the final brake run, though.
P.S. El Toro is smoother and faster than ever. The beast is back, haha
Great Video; somehow, the first of yours, I’ve been recommenced. I loved the insight and opinions on every park! Still have yet to make it to all of them, currently focusing on Cedar Fair and Sea World parks.
Thanks for the awesome comment and all of the insights man! I’m glad you enjoyed the video!
I really want to get out to fiesta texas! It’s ride lineup has gotten crazy over the years especially with the addition with a dive coaster which rounds it out and gives it another unique ride. And a floorless and two rmcs? Can’t go wrong right?
Yeah their ride lineup is amazing. And the park is so beautiful!
As a discovery kingdom goer Medusa is one of my favorites but of course I haven’t left the state so I can’t exactly talk even though I wish I could, but I have gone to every park in the state
Medusa is great! I think it's top 3 or 4 there for sure
Tatsu is my favorite coaster ever. Better than any RMC. When I was younger, my dad rode it and he was complaining about how terrible and unsafe it felt, so I wasn't expecting much, but it blew me away and is my favorite ride. X2 is great, and a solid #2 pick, but only if both the audio and fire are working. It's less than 50 seconds after the chain lift and unless the music and fire are on, I feel cheated waiting for 2 hours to get on. Twisted Colossus is better than X2 if only 1 or neither effects are working. Also, Roar at SFA is not bad if you ride in the middle. The front is boring and the back is rough, but the middle is fun.
Good to know about Roar, and I can agree that it sucks when the effects on X2 aren’t working, but for me they are just bonus. I mainly ride it for the insane drop and intensity. Tatsu is a great ride for sure though and I can respect you having it as your #1!
I went to Six Flags New England on opening day this year, and all the coasters that were open were running fast!Not only were they running fast, but not or the trims or midcourse brakes were on! I got ejector air on the Pandemonium clone! Superman ran so fast and gave such good air, the person next me thought they broke thier ass on it! Hope they run this good the rest of the season!
That’s great! I gotta get back and See if Wicked Cyclone is running better.
@@coasterswithmatt Oh, it was great!
I personally love Six Flags Fiesta Texas but I live in San Antonio so it's close to home. Thanks so much for the rankings and your impressions because i am a thrill ride junkie and now this makes me want to see what the other parks have to offer
Fiesta is an amazing park! I’m glad you enjoyed the video, definitely go out to more parks and try new rides, it’s so much fun!
The number 1 Six Flag Park is DEFINITELY Magic Mountain 💯 Great America, Great Adventures, and Fiesta Texas make up the rest of the top 4. What order you olace them in is personal preference at that point.
1. Magic Mountain
2. Great Adventure
3. Fiesta Texas, 4. Great Ameirca
Great America is hands down the second best. It is the most well rounded park besides magic mountain and the theming is great. You could argue that fiesta Texas is second but great America takes the cake. Discovery kingdom is most definitely 4th. It does not even come close to fiesta and great America. The only top tier coaster is to toro and the launch on kingda ka can get pretty rough. Raging bull is way better than nitro, Goliath is a better rmc than jersey devil, el toro is definitely better than viper and American eagle, but el toro can’t carry the park.
I see your points and respect your opinion for sure! I think all of the top 5 parks are super close and could all easily change spots for me after future visits!
Six Flags Great Escape is AWFUL! LOL, my husband and I went there and were shocked at how horrible this park was and the food was diarrhea inducing...
Yeah it’s bad lol
you also have to put into consideration the fright fest which i believe is the best at great america or at least was before covid hit.
I don’t usually go to parks during busy times like fright fest, holiday in the park, etc that’s why I didn’t really mention it, but valid
I live about 20 minutes away from Six Flags Great Adventure
That is awesome!
Will you rank every cedar fair park next?
I’ve already done it! It’s an older video of mine, you can find it in the channel’s ranking playlist.
fiesta Texas over great America is a crime most off the time the rides at fiesta are closed and in my opinion great America has better and more unique rides. Great America also has a lot of records
Maybe I got lucky at Fiesta because everything was open for me! Except the boomerang lol but it’s a clone so I didn’t really care. Either way though I respect your opinion because Great America is an amazing park!
Coasters with BRAT!!
I’m sorry coasters with Matt I didn’t mean it
Wdym Mr Freeze is that coaster that makes 6 Flags Over Texas amazing
Mr Freeze is great!
I wish six flags america was better it’s my home park and they sit on such much land yet do nothing with it.
Yeah it’s unfortunate for sure
This is the best ranking of six flags parks I’ve seen. I’ve been to the top two parks and love both of them and agree that Magic Mountain is overall the better park. Another reason is setting and weather. I feel Valencia has better weather, terrain, trees, theming, etc. Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for the compliment, I am glad that you enjoyed the video!!!
Bro said nitro is nothing crazy😂
Yep and I stand by it! It was running pretty slow when I was there
It would have been nice if you could have given the location of the parks
At over Georgia, the ride staff on twisted cyclone yelled at me and my sister for their mistake, very rude. But, I still really like this park and I really enjoyed my day there
Yeah that park is operated pretty poorly, they have some great rides though! I’m glad you didn’t let that ruin your day!
Only came to see where over Georgia was ranked. How is Georgia scorcher a bad ride? It’s probably the smoothest stand up coaster.
I wouldn’t say it’s bad it’s just nothing special really. Like I would take any other ride model over a standup
@@coasterswithmatt definitely nothing special. I do still go everytime im at sixflags multiple times cause its so smooth and it never has a long line
It’s still a stand up coaster and has very rude staff
I absolutely love six flags over Georgia.
@@dylanwhite6539 i mean the staff doesnt impact the coaster itself. Staff comes and goes bad staff is more of a negative impact on the park than the ride itself
That pretzel loop on Tatsu never fails to black me out. But oh man that is such a great ride
Yep, it is brutal!
Magic Mountain, Great America, Great Adventure... West, Central, East...
Is El Toro functional again? Last time I was at great adventure (around october last year) it was shut down cuz it derailed.
It is still down currently but they will reopen it when they can
Bro I went to america and my initial experience the second I arrived was two cars on fire lmao
Bruh 💀
Nice job! This video was well made and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Keep up the good work, Matt :)
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!
commenting before watching and will update after
There can't be one worse than Bowie, MD ... albeit, I have a little bias as a local 🤣😂
Great America is way too low
Top 5 parks are all interchangeable depending on the day, so in a way you are correct!
Over Texas is easily one of the best six flags parks. “Doesn’t have that one unique coaster.” Because it has one of the best overall lineups. Any ride you want is there. Didn’t hate on the list until that
It’s not a bad park, my point was the others are simply better. I actually really enjoyed over Texas! But it can’t compete with parks like Great Adventure and Magic Mountain
I would only swap great adventure and magic mountain
Fair! The top few parks are very interchangeable.
I love amusement parks but im still getting over my fear so i like wix flags new england it has some very good coasters that slowly build up so for me it is in my top 2
That’s awesome man! Yeah they have a great coaster lineup with plenty of stepping stones!
@@coasterswithmatt thank you
I really like some of the flat rides at Great Escape which I wish you had mentioned. They have a really fast indoor scrambler, the new extremely thrilling adirondack outlaw ride, a nice double drop tower, and a few other great supporting rides
I did mention that they had a good collection of flats, but many of them were closed when I went so I couldn’t review them. Plus I didn’t ride flats at most of these parks because I was tight on time so that’s why I did it the way I did.
A few weeks ago Six Flags Over Texas changed Mr. Freeze. The right side launches forward and the left side launches backwards.
That’s cool!
I've only ever been to Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom! Sadly, it's no longer a Six Flags park! I definitely wanna check out these parks though thanks to your video!
I still need to get out to Kentucky Kingdom, they have some awesome coasters there! Definitely check out some parks if you can, they are super fun!
Yo thanks for making New England 5 like New England gets no attention not just six flags but the area in general very underrated
Yeah New England was great, super fun area and park!
25:25 YEAAAH WOOOOO LITTLE DIPPER MY FIRST "ROLLERCOASTER" RAHHHHH
(My first "real" rollercoaster was Tornado at Adventureland, Iowa.)
It’s fun for what it is! Definitely better than the average kiddie coaster.
Wonder Woman at six flags fiesta texas never runs 2 carts
Dang that’s lame :(
Pretty informative. Would really like to check out Six Flags NE.
In addition, lived out in SoCal for 8 years and never made Magic Mountain.
Currently in Texas. Just spent two days at Over Texas. And next month, headed back to Fiesta Texas and Sea World.
Good video! 👍🏼👍🏼
New England is a great little park. That’s crazy you never checked out Magic Mountain, you definitely gotta come back and go! Glad you got to hit Over Texas and are going to SeaWorld and Fiesta, I hope you have fun! Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@coasterswithmatt I always go to NE, I really think you would like Superman, it’s not for me cause I’m not a big rollercoaster person. Although it as no upside downs, it has a great drop and start off. I blacked out 💀 Because my fear of heights is awful
Edit: didn’t watch the whole vid, but Superman is awesome. I definitely suggest Cyclone, it may not be a rollercoaster but it is really great!
@@RoyalCookieYT I love Superman!
From what I've been to, I would say:
1) Great Adventure
2) Fiesta Texas
3) Over Texas
4) New England
5) America
Hoping to get to Great America and Over Georgia this year
Awesome!
Great America is my home park, and I live about 20 mins away. It as an outstanding park, and it never gets old no matter how many times I go!
@@avioldani5712 it’s such a good park
While it hurts my soul to see my local park rank second to last, I can’t exactly argue with what you said lollll. It’s a fun place, but it’s not big on the thrill seeker type of thing lol. The biggest problem most locals have is that when Six Flags bought the park, they raised the prices without changing or improving anything. This isn’t exactly the wealthiest part of the country, so the price boost brought tickets out of the budget for a lot of locals. If they fixed up the place or added new things then I might consider it, but not as it is now.
Yeah that’s understandable
I can see why night hawk is closed I was lucky to get on it but it is problematic so I see why nighthawk was closed
THE ONEE CLOSEST TO MY HOUSE IS NUMBER 4!!!!
Nice! Great Park!
Great adventure ahh..the memories. Used to live an hour away from it in NJ. Some im pretty biased when it comes to any other park, not just six flags lol. I mean how can you beat Nitro?! That will always be my #1 ever.
It’s a great park, and Nitro was a blast for sure!
Wait for the st Lois six flags I go to great adventure they have Batman! And dark knight
My Rankings I've Been To Every Six Flags Park Except Mexico (Btw My List Is Pretty Generic Till The Top 4)

6 Six Flags Over Texas (Best Coaster: New Texas Giant)
5 Six Flags Over Georgia (Best Coaster: Twisted Cyclone Btw Over Georgia's Coaster Lineup > Great Adventure/Great America The Operations Do Hold This Park Back Though)
4 Six Flags Magic Mountain (Best Coaster: Twisted Colossus Some May Find It Surprising I Have This So.Low But The Coaster Lineup Is Overrated And The Operations Are Abysmal)
3 Six Flags Great Adventure (Best Coaster: El Toro Better Park Atmosphere And Operations Then Magic Mountain Despite Having A Worse Coaster Lineup)
2 Six Flags Great America (Best Coaster: Raging Bull This Park Has A Deep And Unique Coaster Lineup With Some Of The Best Operations in The Chain But The Following Park Has Better Theming Park Atmosphere Operations And Coaster Lineup Then Great America)
1 Six Flags Fiesta Texas: (Best Coaster Iron Rattler: Super Underrated All Around Operations Are The Best In The Chain The Coaster Lineup Is The Second Best In The Chain Park Atmosphere Is Easily The Best And The Theming Is Great Easily The Best Six Flags Park)
Insightful rankings! Thanks for watching and commenting!
If you got to ride mind eraser at America you’d have that as the worst im a local and absolutely hate mind eraser
Yeah the SLCs that have the original restraints are all bad
@@coasterswithmatt agreed big out of the coasters there the penguins Ride is prety fun
Mind Eraser ruined Six Flags America for me. I remember laying on a bench with my friend afterwards because of the horrible headache
@@noname8354 dang
I was kinda surprised by the rating of twisted cyclone at over Georgia. It’s short but intense, though I probably wouldn’t wait more than about 30 minutes for it and being so close to the front of the park it can have a long line. Wouldn’t call it my favorite though. I’d put Superman ultimate flight at the top, Goliath at 2nd, Batman at 3rd & dare devil dive at 4th which I didn’t even see you mention. The rest are pretty on par with each other
To me Twisted Cyclone is fun but it could have been so much more, still a great ride though! Also, I briefly mentioned Dare Devil Dive, but didn’t go too in depth on it because I only had time to go in depth on a few rides per each park.
I always thought that because Six Flags Over Texas was the original Six Flags park AND it's in Texas (everything's bigger in Texas), you would assume that every single ride would range from great at worst, phenomenal at best. I'm a Great America guy since it's the closest park to me and am glad that it's ranked high, but SFOT should have the best of the best out of all Six Flags parks, and they should have at least two thrill rides that are "f-k you" insane; even beyond Texas Giant and Titan. Fiesta Texas looks fun though.
Also, for anyone that would normally accuse Matt of bias for ranking Magic Mountain at top spot because he's "been there more than any other Six Flags park", why do you think he keeps going there? Aside from location, perhaps it's that good? Also, they have Tatsu, so I'm jealous.
Yeah Over Texas has some great rides, but nothing insane enough to rip your face off. Naturally Maguc Mountain ranks high since it has a few rides that do
On the bucket list... touring Coaster parks US (on one season pass)
Glad to see Great America so high! Max Force and Superman use to be Iron Wolf and Shockwave though: both were way better than the new two.
Yeah those old two rides got torn down and replaced
@@coasterswithmatt yep, that’s what they tend to do now. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen something opened without replacing another ride. There’s just no more room 😂
I love six flags new jersey, and the first time I rode el Toro it was a blast...but what makes me kinda wanna backa way from it was a week after we went the ride had that pretty bad accident before we went back that same week it happened😅 that same day they also closed kingda ca before we got a chance to ride it bc they heard some noises from the ride.
Also I'm shocked that you put six flag America at 9, as someone who goes there a lot since it's in my home town, I've rode everything by this point and let me just say this rq. You're so damn lucky as to not ride mind eraser. That ride is enough to possibly give you a concession which is why their removing it.
Also the rides are amazing yes but it's the people that go to the park that makes me not like it.
Always someone fighting😭
Yeah Six Flags America isn’t the best but there is for sure worse out there
I've only ever been so Discovery Kingdom so I came here to see where you ranked it and I'm so happy that someone agrees with me about Kong. Everyone I've ever talked to loves Kong despite how painful and rough it is but I hate it.
That’s crazy I wonder why people like it? Everyone I have talked to about it hates it too lol
my cousins used to be OBSESSED with kong and i was excited to go on. after getting extremely hurt based on how rough it was, i hated it
@@coasterswithmatt it's so bad, that you literally have to "learn" how to ride it in order to have fun. It's a terrible ride, but pushing your head back in a certain way makes it a bit more bearable.
@@violinwire5007 I find that it is horrible no matter what you do 😂
@@coasterswithmatt Fair point lol. It's my local park, and it's only only coaster I straight up refuse to ride. I will ride the kiddie coasters before that one.
Six flags over GA is my home park. Which honestly im thankful for because of goliath. But the twisted cyclone opinion hurt my soul. Honestly my second favorite ride under goliath. I find that while yes the drop could definitely be longer and the inversions could be a bit more forceful, i find that the ejector are time is amazing. While it is a short ride, the layout packs a punch with imo no filler moments. Everything else is agree with though. Scorcher is definitely a pretty shit coaster. And for me dare decil dive would be so much better if it wasnt for the wait that can reach up to 2 and a half hours every day. I only ride that as my first ride or i wait til way later in the day when its a walk on. Good video though :)
@@XXDawgs I really enjoy SFOG and have gotten some better rides on Cyclone last year! Overall my opinion is it is still pretty mid, but it's #2 behind Goliath for sure
What about titan at six flags over texas
16:53
I went to Darien Lake when Ride of Steel first came out, pretty mid coaster. I live 30mins from Cedar Point though so I'm pretty a bit biased.
Ride of Steel is fun, but there is much better rides out there for sure, ESPECIALLY at Cedar Point!
The reason why Great Escape is so unique is that it was originally built in the 1950s as Storytown USA. If you look at 1:42 of the video, you can see the sign in the foreground reads, "Storytown Train Station" and is a callback to the Great Escape's history. When it was opened it was themed after mostly Mother Goose nursery rhymes. This is why the park has the big shoe, and the little houses for kids to go in and out of, and even an Alice in Wonderland walkthrough attraction. Totally understand why a coaster enthusiast would rate it in last place, but from a family perspective this place should be close to the top.
That is very interesting! I wish the park was better taken care of so those things could shine more! The park has charm, but like many six flags parks it is also kind of a dump.
@@coasterswithmatt Totally agree with that assessment. I'm lucky I live basically halfway between Great Escape and New England so when the kids are little you go to Great Escape when they're older, New England!
@@brianthomas2839 New England is a great park
I've been to both Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags Fiesta and I prefer Over Texas personally. Like you said it comes down to personal opinion, but for me I don't like upside down coasters so all the coasters with multiple loops and corkscrews aren't ride able so that doesn't leave many options for me at Fiesta. I do agree that Fiesta is prettier with the rock quarry, but ride wise it's worse for me.
Understandable!
I only came to this video to see six flags discovery kingdom (my home park)and I’m surprised it got 8.I thought it would be like 12 or 13 but I’m happy it got 8
It’s an underrated park! The top 3 is pretty great, and I finally got on Flash this year lol
Six flags great adventure is the best I respect ur opinion but nitro el toro and king da ka are so fun I go there all the time
And joker
Plus meduca
Great Adventure is amazing for sure! I just think that X2, Tatsu, and Twisted Colossus are an unbeatable top 3 for a Six Flags park
The only Six Flags parks I have ever visited are the three in California (Discovery Kingdom, Magic Mountain, and Great America) and I had a great time at all of them although the last time I went to one was in 2007.
One complaint I have about this video though, is that you were just gushing over roller coasters and not talking about the park as a whole. I know the roller coasters are a highlight of any Six Flags theme park but they are not the only attractions there. There are other forms of entertainment (stage shows, animal exhibits, food etc.).
Six Flags is known to not really have great theming or family rides, but I feel like I mentioned the parks and rides that had it better. But either way all I really care about is the coasters and it is a ranking based off of my opinion, so that is why I focused on the coasters.
Batwing sure looks like the once known as X-flight at 6-flags Aurora. Which very sad but is a park no more.
@@coryluscombe1239 there were 3 of that ride model, (Vekoma Flying Dutchman), I believe Batwing was actually built for SF America and has been there since 2001!
X2 felt like my back broke, should've gone to the hospital LMAO 108 degrees that day too!
That's INSANE. I'd never go on a day that hot lmao
Damondback from Frontier City came from Six Flags Great Adventure when it was Lightnin Loops.
Yep they split the two up!
Ngl I’m surprised my local Six Flags in MD wasn’t dead last. That park has been trash for YEARS.
They could all change spots based on personal experience, this is just based on my day there! So perhaps I got lucky at that park
Great video! I’ve been to Great America (my home park) and Great Adventure, love both. Definitely want to make it to Magic Mountain at some point
Thank you! Yeah those are all amazing parks!
I’m glad to see my home park at 4th
A respectable spot!
shocked at over texas placement . that park roller coaster line up is just mind blowing mainly bc all there coasters are GOOD . other then parks like magic mountain and great adventure that has a lot of coasters but some of them are hugely forgettable.Over texas theming and overall experience is better then most six flags park. Def a top 5 for sure
Over Texas has a lot of rides, but I will say none of them are particularly elite, compared to parks like Magic Mountain that have X2 and Twisted Colossus, or Great Adventure with El Toro and King Da Ka. That's why Over Texas ranks quite low for me. Still an awesome park though!
The way they copied the Dragster tho but made it higher🫤 I can’t wait till Cedar Point surpasses that with Top Thrill 2
We’ll see what’s better, the intensity with Ka or the better restraints and longer ride with Top Thrill 2.
No way in discovery kingdom medusa is best and joker 2 both interchangeable for some….superman is literal dog water
Joker is better to me because it has a unique layout with good airtime, Medusa is the best floorless, but once you have done one floorless you have done them all. Still a great ride though for sure.
The ones that talk down on SFMM Goliath are younger than the coaster.. it opened in 2000!!! Around the same time as Superman the escape. That time was about record breaking stats not efficiency and airtime
That is true, my dad says it was crazy for the time it opened. For me stats don’t matter though, the ride experience does, so Goliath is meh. Magic Mountain still reigns supreme though!
You won't like Le Ronde - meh rides and really bad ride ops. Mexico you probably will like - Better rides , a beautiful park and better ride ops.
I honestly can't wait for both, whenever I can get out to them that is...
Please consider a thesaurus for alternatives to the words “decent” and “nowhere near”. And you don’t have to say “in my opinion” every other sentence because the audience knows it’s your opinion - it’s your video! Plus you add the disclaimer at the top that everything here is your opinion. We get it.
Hey, before I say anything I just want to say, thank you for watching and commenting your constructive criticism! I appreciate the tips, but I will say I do those things completely intentionally. I like to use similar phrases and terms to try to make my videos easy for my audience to understand. Of course I don’t want to sound repetitive, but I want to be clear and cohesive. When it comes to reiterating that everything is my opinion, I’m kinda screwed either way, if I don’t say it’s my opinion people will go off on me and say I’m wrong, but if I do then people may think I am repetitive. Honestly I would rather be repetitive and give a clear message then only say it once and have people misunderstand me. I hope you understand why I write my scripts the way I do now, feel free to respond and let me know what you think!
Enjoyed the video. I'm kinda new to this and just visited Over Georgia for the first time. Goliath...not my favorite, shakier then others I've ridden like Mako or Shambala but Superman, that was great, best ride in the park for me, barely beat out Monster Mansion ;) Probably wind up a America next.
I never noticed a rattle on it but I am honestly not too sensitive to rougher rides so that may be why. What row did you ride in?
You must have had a really slow ride on Nitro. The airtime on the first camelback is kinda mediocre but the 2nd camelback gives pretty dang good airtime. The helix is always a greyout every ride. The final bunny hills give pretty good flojector airtime in the back. If you go back to Great Adventure i recommend you ride in D Train to get the fastest experience.
Also in 2023 Jersey Devil runs so much faster than in years past. I don’t know if it’s running faster than Wonder Woman but I think it is. Which is why I think it’s criminally underrated.
Yeah I need more rides on Nitro for sure, it was one of the weaker B&M hypers when I rode it
Conpletely agree about screaming eagle in st louis. Felt like a cracked a rib after riding in the back row
@@merrickwells2490 after going back non-wheel seat is the way to go! Actually a pretty fun ride. But yeah the back is PAINFUL
Does Six flags over Texas not have Superman anymore? It’s been a while since I’ve been and u didn’t mention it
They have a drop tower called superman, but I didn’t really talk about the flat rides in this video so that’s shy I didn’t mention it
For SFOG, they are debuting a launch coaster called the Georgia Surfer for 2024. It's an Intamin Ultra Surf coaster that combines both the Mack Power Splash and Intamin Half Pipe, which was revealed at their Coaster Fest presentation back in August. The water effects is the main highlight of the attraction in which the park can customize however they like it
It looks super fun!
my home theme park is 5th ill take it
Yeah that’s not bad at all!
you are very right about texas.....their coaster line up really really sucks....
There are many worse lineups out there... but many better ones too!
Over Texas is NOT better then Over Georgia, Twisted cyclone gives way more inversions.
Over Georgia was ranked above Over Texas, so I’m confused what you mean?
I think the mind eraser Darien lake it's the worst coaster at the park with the boomerang being just as bad
Yeah they both aren’t great!
Great escape was my first last year going to great adventure,new England and Busch gardens Williamsburg this year
Awesome!
@@coasterswithmatt oh yea can't wait to ride pantheon. It took me a long time to finally go to a theme park
@@danwolfe238 pantheon is so good
I way sound stupid bc I didn’t watch the whole vid but have you visited six flags Darien lake
You’re good lol, and yeah I’ve been to every six flags except Six Flags Mexico and La Ronde
Only came to see where over Georgia was ranked because it’s the only one I’ve been to, and in my state
It didn’t do bad considering how many parks there are!
In all honesty, you do NOT want to ride Mind Eraser.. that thing will break your brain.
Yeah I’m sure it’s pretty horrible lol
I have been to six flags great America the dark knight was the worst coaster for me the flashing lights and being in the dark and i almost passed out i think the best ride was vertical volicity if i go to an amusement park i ride maby one coaster and i mostly go on the flat rides
Flat rides are underrated for sure!
I have Visit 4 SF theme park first I would put SFDK at least number 6 but i have a issue with your list specially the Disrespect you gave SFOT(Six Flag Over Texas) i deserve to be in the top 5 let review the Rides Aquaman Power Wave, Batman, Mr. Freeze, New Texas Giant, Pandemonium, Shock Wave, Joker, TITAN, Runaway Mountain and Superman plus all the little rides that are not Thrill rides i just visit SFOT and SFFT and for me SFOT was better had more 1 2 punch that SFFT New Texas Giant was amazing its had a lot of air time I really don't know wtf you were talking about and to Disrespect TITAN which is Better than SFMM is had a __it load of airtime with great drops and 2 spiral come on man the Hate! Runway mountain was a great underrate Dark Ride it reminded me of Space mountain but shorter. as for your ranking at SFFT still wrong Wonder woman only had Speed over Iron Rattler i hope ppl don't listen to your review. IR had massive Airtime, Great drop and i left like i was going to leave my seat only issue wish it never stop but that's the ride that i would give 9.2 out 10 (only X2 is my 10 out 10).
Lol I didn’t mean to disrespect Over Texas, I simply have the opinion that some other parks are better. I will say Titan does suck, and you can’t change my mind on that 😂 yes it is TECHNICALLY better than Goliath, but all it adds is yet another helix, not any airtime or anything fun. Also, if you like Iron Rattler better than Wonder Woman that’s fine, but again, my video my opinion lol. So yeah, hope this helped!
Titan was amazing man i just dnt get how ppl dont like amazing but everyone has a different views. well im going with my Family next yr to Cedar point since everyone says its better than SFMM but i highly doubt cant want to go tho.@@coasterswithmatt
Six flags great America is my local park an this park compared to other parks seems that six flags should be top 5
It is top 5 for sure, such a great park!
i went to the one in dallas, and the aqua man ride was fun
Nice! Can’t wait to try when I go back!
What an excellent video,I throughly enjoyed it EXCEPT you didn't mention their respective cities.."GeeMom we going to magic mountain in Tennessee "
Don’t worry, google knows what cities the parks are in 😉 glad you enjoyed the video!
Of all the Six Flags parks I've been, my favorite is Six Flags Magic Mountain, followed by Six Flags Great America, Six Flags Over Texas, Six Flags Over Georgia, Six Flags New England, Six Flags America, and Six Flags Fiesta Texas. The reason why Fiesta Texas was at the back of my ist wasn't the parks fault but mainly because my visit was a disappointment as I went during March of 2013 meaning Iron Rattler wasn't open yet, the waterpark was closed, and the wait lines were way too long. I hope to get back there soon and have a much better experience one day.
I hope you get a better day at Fiesta in the future!
Go back. Fiesta blows OT out of the water.
batman at discovery kingdom is just awful. i got the worst concussion on it
I don’t mind it but I could understand why some people hate it
