I seriously thought you were going to joke and say New England’s 1.2. Punch were the two boomerangs.
Can someone explain why people hate boomerangs
@@gagesstuff5946 because they are everywhere and they are nothing special, it sucks for enthusiasts because you cant escape them
EDIT: that being said, they are no where near as bad as SLC's
@@Cosmic_Cretin I still dont gat the hate, theyre fun.little rides that I dont mind, Its like what If we get so many raptor clones, will we start hating them? NO, so why should we hate on boomerangs?
@@gagesstuff5946 They aren't too bad, but there are a bunch of clones at a lot of parks all around North America so enthusiastists hate them
@@Coolsomeone234 oh okay
Number one: Candymonium and skyru.... darn it airtime man
Haha good one man
hp fanboys are crying all around the nation
CHOCOLATE?!?!?
Dosware Pictures DAE diabetes park
@@gavin6177 *Sobs in better park than yours*
The only time my home park ever gets #1 on a list 😂😂
Aaron Coasters my home park as well! Can’t wait to go back after covid is over with
Michael Sands ugh same I miss it so much!
right! I was so pleasantly surprised lol
They deserve it though, those 2 coasters are why I drive 5 hours constantly throughout the summer lol
I just wish it had more quality like that throughout the park
Chris: “Steel curtain holds the title for most inversions in a coaster in North America”
Me: *laughs in UK*
Sorry stell curtin took the record from smiler
Jayden Crist no it didn’t
it didn’t
@@notfbg oh it said north America I forgot
True, but you are really screwed on the height limits over there.
The joy that filled my soul when your #1 was what it was is... indescribable.
SFNE #1...? Did not see that coming.
gplez91 SAME!
I thought it would be Dollywood
finally
Have you rode either of them!?! Superman won best coaster golden ticket award like 8 times, and let me tell you wicked cyclone is probably the best retracked coaster there is, I fully support his choice.
kyle dickey been on both multiple times. They are both fantastic rides. I have also been on every ride at CP and SFMM, and i personally believe that those two parks have a better 1,2 punch than SFNE. I didn’t see it coming, but it’s a very respectable choice.
Can't overlook Islands of Adventure with Hagrid and Hulk.
CZsWorld you're a horror movie chanell are you a coaster enthusiasts now
@@cruzrojas9725 Always have
Nice im one to my home park is holiday world but I'm also close to kingsisland cedar point kentucky kingdom Indiana Beach and six flags great America
@@cruzrojas9725 I grew up going to Great America.
@CZsWorld my home park is six flags great America too.
Hersheypark can make this list in a few ways...
1. Skyrush/Storm Runner
2. Candymonium/Skyrush
3. Candymonium/Stormrunner
Not hating, but all the chocolate lovers will be...
Wildcats revenge
"Neither RMCs are elite"
Careful, CoasterCraziness is watching....
Coaster Fusion careful I’m watching
Iron Rattler is better than maverick
DigginBrady you stop right there. SFFT is my home park and Maverick is the best coaster I’ve ridden
After initially riding Steel Vengeance and having my mind blown....I thought Maverick was going to be over for me and almost not worth riding. Nope, still amazing...especially at night. Both are very intense which I love, but in a different way if that makes sense.
@Benjamin Waterhouse Trust me, there's NOTHING in this entire world like an SV night ride!! That's a promise and a fact!!
Steel vengeance at night is a religious experience. Maverick would be one of my faves, but it's too painful on the shoulders if you're tall. Millennium and SV are tops.
NS10Fan have you been there since they replaced the shoulder restraints with the hydraulic ones? Feels much better. I’m 6’1” and used to love the ride but could only ride it a few times. Now that’s not an issue for me! Now SV is my favorite but maverick is like my first love.
Y’all haven’t rode the Boss at night. If it were to get a GCI retracking it would be one of the best rides out there.
@@Smoovey Right I Agree I Got 2 Nighttime rides on SV and wow Amazing words can't describe how fantastic it was, check this'-- when i got home nothing was enjoyable not anything and i felt depressed, ya wanna know why? its cause SV took all the fun out of me cleared my brain from dopamine and serotonin cause SV was so amazing esp twice w\o fastlane at night it took me a week for my brain levels to balance themselves out, that's how you know steel vengeance is king and a masterpiece of RMC's. CP should defiantly been number one i mean i understand SF magic mountain made number 2 but CP number 3 and SF NE number 1 absolutely makes no sense at all, lol c'mon airtime thrills your better than that and know better haha, your still a great youtuber and I enjoy your videos but you got me on that
I love that Canada’s Wonderland is on here. I honestly think that Vortex is also a contender as a front row night ride is unbelievable. Don’t knock it until you try it.
Lessardo kinda interested on the Vortex, but I’d prefer a night ride on Big Bad Wolf, and not just because of my profile pic.
yeah its by far the best arrow suspended, but the top 3 are just so good.
Airtime thrills: SFNE has the best 1-2-punch with Superman the Ride and Wicked Cyclone
Me, with SFNE as my home park: yeah I'd agree wi-
U-Brick: *I'm gonna stop you right there*
facts I was expecting it like 18th compared to all the other parks
They should remove the U-Bricks and because they can't bring the T-Bars back, they should instead replace them for the Mack trains
X Coaster Enthusiast what about the el toro u restraint? that isn’t as thicc as the u bricks
Isn't that one for the prefab woodies
X Coaster Enthusiast Yes it is
Great list and for me it is between Six Flags Magic Mountain and Cedar Point for the best top 2, (Dragster and SV for me)
Hershey (Skyrush, Storm Runner/Candymonium) and Six Flags Mexico (Medusa Steel, Superman El Ultimo Escape’) I also think have top 10 in North America worthy top 2s.
No the top two at cedar point is Magnum and Steel Vengeance
Coaster Hour Six Flags Mexico, yes. Hershey, debatable
I really like Knott’s top 2 because GhostRider is all about the airtime while Xcelerator is about the crazy quick burst of non stop intensity
Counting with airtime thrills
1,2,punch
I was surprised about when you talked about Canada's Wonderland's top 2, but I can agree it is interchangeable. For me, I love Behemoth the most, but sometimes, I even put Leviathan on top. I love the speed that Leviathan has, along with its airtime, but Behemoth has more of it for me, and I love airtime ~ But Yukon Striker is really forceful, so I even interchange that ride with Leviathan. For me, #2 is a hard pick for me between Leviathan and Yukon Striker.
I've just started being a coaster enthusiast and I never knew my home park, Six Flags New England, was liked this much for its 1-2 punch!
I love how much credit you give Kentucky Kingdom bc it feels like not enough people acknowledge it!!
Now that this comment is edited you have no idea what the comments below mean or why Chris liked it
Cole Mouledous hahaha
Cole Mouledous ok boss is actually an amazing ride
Coaster Dog I’ve ridden boss and ninja and guess what
It’s not
Cole Mouledous it’s a good ride. it’s rough but it’s a speed demon to the core and very good as a middle ground coaster. ninja does suck though. worst ride in the midwestern united states by far. i would love that thing gone.
Bruh Boomerang was missed out
Tatsu and X2 are magic mountains one 2 punch. Tatsu pretzel loop felt like my soul left body.
Haven’t even seen the vid yet but I know KD and SDC will be soooo damn high
Edit: Completely forgot about SFMM and SFNE
I'm legit surprised to see Kings Dominion so high up. After I saw Carowinds, I thought "there's no way KD can be higher!"
Most people would put it even higher
Good list but personally, I’d put the top 3 in this order:-
1.) Cedar Point
2.) Magic Mountain
3.) SFGAd
And I think that Hersheypark should definitely be on this list, I’d prefer to ride Skyrush and Candymonium (which looks to be amazing) than Medusa and a weak RMC. Good video ;)
Remember, Chris has his issues with Skyrush's restraints so that's why it's not here. It would have been funny if he had included it but said that Storm Runner and Candymonium are the top two just to piss people off.
Zac G That would piss people off 😂 When I rode Skyrush, the restraints were horrendous but I looked past them and appreciated the ride. WHY CANT THEY JUST CHANGE THEM!?!?
“Only steel Vengeance beats wicked cyclone for the best RMCs that I’ve ridden” me over here with Wicked Cyclone being my least favorite RMC 😬. It’s probably just not my type of coaster
MY HOME PARK GOT #1!!! I totally agree, Superman is such an underrated coaster, even though it’s an airtime MACHINE.
It's mine too!
Very interesting topic. I like the video overall. My top 20 would look like this:
1. Cedar Point (Steel Vengeance & Maverick)
2. SFMM (X2 & Twisted Colossus)
3. Kings Dominion (I-305 & Twisted Timbers)
4. SF Gadv (El Toro & Jersey Devil)
5. BG Tampa (Iron Gwazi & Montu)
6. SFFT (Iron Rattler & Wonder Women)
7. SFNE (Wicked Cyclone & Superman)
8. Silver Dollar City (Outlaw Run & Time Traveler)
9. Carowinds (Fury 325 & Afterburn)
10. Hershey Park (SkyRush & Candymonium) - Biggest Snub from video
11. SFOG (Twisted Cyclone & Goliath)
12. Kentucky Kingdom (Storm Chaser & Lightning Run)
13. Kings Island (Orion & Diamondback for me, Mystic Timbers for everyone else)
14. CGA (RailBlazer & GoldStriker)
15. Dollywood (Lightning Rod & Thunderhead) - Other snub from video
16. Holiday World (Voyage & Thunderbird)
17. Canada's Wonderland (Leviathan & Behemoth)
18. Kennywood (Phantom's Revenge & Steel Certain)
19. Sea World Orlando (Mako & Manta)
20. Six Flags Mexico (Medusa & Superman )
The 3 I left on that were close were Knott's (GhostRider & XCelerator), BG Williamsburg (Pantheon & Alpengeist) and Six Flags Great America (Goliath & Maxx Force)
I couldnt put Hershey on here. Maybe if you love Skyrush, but even just looking at maybe Candymonium and Storm Runner, that top 2 isnt any better than Knotts which barely made it
Alan Trotter Thank you for putting SFFT higher I possibly would say slightly higher but I ride them all the time so I’m maybe a little biased but both rides are incredible
Thanks for the Mako/Manta combo. It's far superior to Mako/Kraken. Also, Leviathan/Behemoth. I finally made my very first trip to Canada's Wonderland last season for Yukon. I was disappointed (in comparison to Valravn). I loved Leviathan and Behemoth (both underrated). The biggest surprise for me was Vortex, my new #1 suspended of all time.
For Holiday World’s top 2, I used to prefer Thunderbird, but after the insane front row rain rides I got on Legend during HWN 2020, I prefer it. Voyage is still the #1 though
a top 2 has to be the only two standout coasters there, which is why I wouldn’t put cp so high. Cp is stacked with great coasters and you won’t leave the park just remembering the top 2
I’m glad you put Joker and Medusa on the list! I think they’re both very underrated and I feel like they deserve it
Pantheon and Apollo’s chariot should be included imo
I think it's a little premature to call that one, though clearly Chris felt that including other unopened coasters was acceptable. Mostly, I think he just doesn't like Apollo's Chariot that much because he got some bad cold rain rides on his most recent trip. I'm with you, if Iron Gwazi and Jersey Devil are on here then I think BGW deserves the recognition. But of course, I'm a huge Apollo's Chariot fan.
@@zacg_ could have been Apollo and Alpengeist. Pretty sure Alpengeist is in the running for best b&m invert and the first drop into the trees never gets old. guess like you said he just had a bad last visit.
Im still wondering how good Pantheon will be. It could be amazing, it could be pedestrian
@@AirtimeThrills not gonna lie, the outerbanck looks better than steves, its sharper and a bit taller from what ive seen
Edit: plus it has that new intamin lapbars that people say are realy good, then again it might be my BGW fanboy coming out ;-;
@@zacg_ he def got a bad ride last year, I was there the same year and appollo was hauling its ass off
I feel the anger of Cedar Point fanboys. Like jeez let people have their own opinion.
In my opinion there are 3 note worthy that you didn’t include:
Dollywood- Lightening rod and Thunderhead or Tennessee tornado
Six Flags Mexico- Medusa steel coaster and Superman el ultimo escape
Hershey park- Skyrush/Candymonium/Storm runner
justsamo o tbh both SFNE and SFMM have better top 2 tho
No Hay Banda I didn’t said those parks have better top 2. I just think these are better collections in comparison to kennywood and SFDK.
Shocked that Busch Gardens Williamsburg & Hershey Park weren’t ranked higher...
Yes, I know not everyone likes Sky Rush, but now with Candymonium and Storm Runner - that’s a Top 20 for sure! Great videos!
When your home park, Dollywood, didn’t even make it :(
Clear number one but the park's second best coaster is highly debatable.
@@zacg_ agreed. Mystery Mine and Thunderhead were disappointing last year. The others arent good enough to be on the list
Airtime Thrills I understand, PS I really like your videos and I usually don’t travel much so Dollywood is really all I have so I don’t have much to go off of so that is probably why I like rides like Thunderhead and Mystery Mine so much.
I'm impressed! You chose my home park as #1. I agree! I have been known to make an after work run to ride Superman and Wicked Cyclone, grab dinner and head home. Great video. Someday I need to make it to the West Coast to try your #2 1/2 punch.
I would marathon Leviathan and Behemoth instead of Yukon tbh. You must have rode behemoth on a day the trims where hitting pretty hard.
Behemoths Trims hahaha that name
Honestly I would’ve said time warp and their slc for Canada’s wonderland
That username tho
@@AirtimeThrills why do people like b&m hypers so much? They are all literally the same - Behemoth, intimidator, Apollo’s chariot, Nitro, Goliath (at La Ronde), Mako, & Candymonium. These are all literally the same ride just with a few differences... why do ppl like them so much?
@@MrGoldMan Because they are crowd pleasers. Also clones are cloned for a reason and B&M Hypers are not clones
- Big and tall
- Not too intimidating to look at or ride
- Smooth
- Graceful
- Give lots of floater airtime
- reliable
I was sitting here saying to myself "Okay.... where the heck is he putting New England?!" Once it got to the top 5 I was shocked - at #3, I figured I was forgetting a park... But then you did it. You absolute mad lad.
HERSHEYPARK?!?!?! AM I A JOKE!!!!!
Yes
@@AirtimeThrills ya I know 😂😂🙄
Skyrush will never change. Think about it no restraints look good with that train design. Unless they use the same type trains as i305, storm runner, and farenheit! That would be even worse, because Skyrush has an amazing open experience!!
Was not expecting my home park at #1. Top 10 sure but 1 curved my expectations but when I think about it they make sense. Ones a rapid fire airtime machine and the other’s a long intense hyper and both make the most out of their layouts. Sure the rest of the parks line up can’t really compete with that (insert boomerang joke) but that top 2 gives guys like me who have SFNE something to talk about and be happy with. Major respect to Chris for sticking with his unique opinions on certain coasters and not just going with what other people would say
I would put Lagoon as an honorable mention, Cannibal and Wicked
PlanetCoasterVideos not the best home part tho😂
It’s better than most, if you live in the western areas especially
Wicked really sinks that possibility
Dragon Mountain Fanboy I mean Wicked isn’t that bad. It’s a lot of fun and has some good moments
If you loosen the restraint enough, you can get flung over the first tower.
As a guy who has Six Flags New England as his home park thank you so much for giving it the Number One spot. Yes the lap bars do suck on Superman but that will never stop me from going on what I call the best Hyper Coaster I’ve been on so far. Also after the first time I rode Wicked Cyclone my legs were jelly and that is the first and only RMC I’ve ridden but I will never stop praising it. I always look forward towards getting to go on two amazing coasters that’s only like an hour and a half away from where I live. Thanks again Airtime for this.
Six flags great adventure has kinda very intense g forces and el toro agruably the best wooden coaster in the world and adding nj devil already having nitro it’s crazy
Benjamin Waterhouse fahrenheit isn’t that great tbh
wow, six flags NE is my home park and as this went on the more sure I was that I wouldn't see it on this list. I literally said 'you're kidding me' out loud when you got to number one!
Silver Dollar City 🙌🏻🙌🏻 As my home park I’d definitely put this top 3 but understand it’s less traveled than the other parks ahead of it so hard for people to know 🤷🏼♂️
It’s nice to see Superman at Six Flags New England getting some love again. It has been a while, that layout is spectacular!
Wicked Cyclone is a monster. Very memorable.
The 200 degree stall on Wicked Cyclone is my favorite inversion I've ever experienced!
Which one, there’s 2🤔 new England’s is amazing, I remember when it was wooden and was just cyclone and it was one of the roughest rides ever lol, I was blown away when I rode it the first time after it’s transitioning
WiCy is my favorite coaster ever. It’s amazing
I remember the old one very well. The whole thing would sway when a train ran through. We have season tickets for a number years and saw the transformation. Wicked Cyclone is a ride that thrills right into the station. Superman is not too shabby either....
I must have ridden Wicked Cyclone on a bad day. I rode it three times and, while I enjoyed it, I didn't get the same "OMG" reactions I've seen from others. I rode it the same year Twisted Timbers opened and felt WC didn't come close.
I do love inversions and intensity which is why Banshee is my number 1 at Kings Island and currently my number 1 overall.
On my 2019 visit to California I went to Sfmm and only got on 5 coasters but they were all of the best ones! X2, Twisted Colossus, Full Throttle, Super Man, and Tatsu! And I did not skip out on the 2nd tallest drop tower in the world! I loved this park and will visit again in 2022 when I hope it is not so crowded! I am also going to about half of the parks on this list in the next 2 years!
I was suprised with kraken over manta
I am very surprised by how many people think Manta is the 2nd punch
Airtime Thrills I Heard- more great things about Manta than about Kraken
Busch gardens Williamsburg :
Alpengeist-Appolo's charriot
Hershey park :
Skyrush-Storm runner
Dollywood :
Lightning rod-Thunderhead
LOVE the Groundhog Day reference! Fitting for these times!
God why is SFNE at #1
Truth is the truth.
It’s his opinion m8
Islands of adventure defintely could be added to this list with Velocicoaster and Hagrids… Two phenomenal rides.
Hersheypark: Skyrush and Storm Runner
Cedar Point: Steel Vengeance and Maverick
Kings Island: Diamondback and Mystic Timbers
Kings Dominion: I-305 and Twisted Timbers
BGW: Alpengiest and Griffon
BGT: Montu and Kumba
Carowinds: Fury 325 and Afterburn
Six Flags Great Adventure: El Toro and Kingda Ka
SeaWorld Orlando: Mako and Manta
I just selected parks with an elite collection. I've visited 20 parks so far one isn't operating anymore. These aren't ranked but maybe I will when I visit more parks soon (DARN YOU COVID-19!). I agreed on many.
I was absolutely not expecting SFNE to end up on this list and it comes out on top??? Very happy someone agrees with me that those are the strongest rides in the park and deserve some non-local love. It's not the most notable park in the Six Flags chain but there's a lot of memories there. People were PISSED when SF announced they were tearing down Cyclone, I don't think it was well-known that it was being rebuilt into a fucking monster. Great list, so many coasters I want to ride
There's two parks here in the UK that I've been to that I feel offer some good 1-2 punches in terms of coaster line-up
1. Chessington World Of Adventures. Coasters: Dragon's Fury (Maurer spinner) and Vampire (Arrow suspended with Vekoma trains). Despite being more of a family-oriented theme park, both of these coasters offer great rides. Dragon's Fury is arguably the flagship attraction at the park right now, featuring some pretty cool elements including a vertical hairpin turn right after the drop, and a way to adjust how fast the car will spin by weighting the ride differently with the passengers. Vampire is the ride with more heritage, and features an action-packed layout that twists you through the trees and features one good foot-chopper element as you fly over a wrought iron fence. The last time I rode it, I was pleasantly surprised by how forceful the ride could be in the front row, and the ride is still really smooth.
2. Alton Towers. Coasters: Nemesis (B&M Invert) and The Smiler (Gerstlauer Infinity). Alton Towers has one of the most well-rounded coaster line-ups in the UK, with each new coaster known for innovation and record-setting (even if their record is simply "first coaster of its kind built in the UK, such as the very first B&M Dive coaster Oblivion). Nemesis was the first B&M Invert to be built in the UK, and is probably the most intense ride in the entire country. One moment guaranteed to cause a few grey-outs is the Zero-G roll right after the downward helix, which you take at some speed. A short and sweet ride that will leave you in awe. The Smiler, by contrast, is a much longer ride, and it currently holds the world record for the most inversions on any coaster at 14. Unlike the previous record holder (an Intamin 10-inversion model called Colossus), not one moment on the coaster feels repetitive (aside from the back-to-back dive loops). Amidst the dense, twisting layout, there are even two airtime hills that are surprisingly good. In my opinion this is the best ride at the park (with Nemesis coming in a close second) and I can't wait to go back some day to try and ride some of the coasters I didn't get a chance to on my first visit a few years back (Galactica was closed for maintenance and Wicker Man was under construction)
I AIN'T READIN'
ALLAT
I was getting worried carrowinds wouldn’t make the list cause I couldn’t think what the second punch would be ether after fury 325. Great video lot of well done research and ideas
I live in the Louisville metro and I love how 3 of the 4 parks that are relatively close to me are on this list. (Holiday World, Kentucky Kingdom, my home park and one I spent a summer doing ride ops 2 years ago, and King's Island). Being in the Midwest, its defiantly a great place for coaster enthusiasts (I'm not an enthusiast, but I love watching all about the different coasters and theme parks.
Same I live in Ky but my home park is holiday world
Of the parks I've been to, I will pick 2 coasters as their 1-2 punch and rank them:
EPCOT and Animal Kingdom don't have enough coasters to qualify.
14. Fun Spot Atlanta (Scream'n Eagle and Kiddie Coaster, the only 2 in the park. However, ArieForce One will be incredible, though it will make the parks 2nd punch very weak until they get something else.)
13. Legoland Florida (Dragon and Flying School, those are the ones I enjoyed as a kid. Today, Great Lego Race would most likely be one of them, with Coastersaurus (which I didn't ride) likely being the other.)
12. Wild Adventures (Twisted Typhoon and Boomerang. This park has the legendary Vekoma Duo, and they're both actually good. I prefer Twisted Typhoon, but these are objectively pretty balanced.)
11. Fun Spot Orlando (White Lightning and Freedom Flyer. I love White Lightning, and while I still enjoy Freedom Flyer, it doesn't give the park too strong of a 2nd punch being a family coaster.)
10. Hollywood Studios (Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Slinky Dog Dash, a pretty decent 1-2 but I only rode Slinky Dog Dash once so I couldn't justify putting it higher.)
9. Magic Kingdom (Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. While I like Rock 'n' Roller Coaster better than both of these, I can't deny that these 2 are a bit more balanced. Add to that the fact that they complement each other pretty well and they're both classics and that's why I put these above Hollywood Studios. TRON will replace BTMR soon, though, and probably boost MK higher.)
8. Fun Spot Kissimmee (Mine Blower and Galaxy Spin. While I like White Lightning better than these, these two are more even imo and complement each other really well for a small park. I can't ride Mine Blower back-to-back because of how rough it is, so after a ride, I can ride Galaxy Spin like 3 times and then I'll be good to go on Mine Blower again! That's not counting their other coaster, Hurricane, and their go-karts. It's easy for me to spend a day here and never get bored.)
7. Busch Gardens Tampa (Cheetah Hunt and Montu, though once I get to reride (and ride Iron Gwazi and SheiKra for the 1st time) this 1-2 punch will most likely be much different.)
6. Universal Studios Florida (Revenge of the Mummy and Rip Ride Rockit. These two are great complements. One is a dark ride experience while the other is a giant unique coaster with airtime and positive G's. It's quite the unique duo, and they're right next to each other!)
5. SeaWorld Orlando (Mako and Manta or Kraken, I prefer Manta, but Kraken complements Mako better. Honestly, this park has a great 1-2-3 punch.)
4. Dollywood (Lightning Rod and Mystery Mine. These are 2 wildly different rides that offer completely different experiences, but are both awesome! Honestly, pick any 2 coasters (other than Blazing Fury and Whistle Punk Chaser) at Dollywood and you've still got a solid 1-2. Heck, FireChaser Express and Dragonflier are one of the best family 1-2 punches out there!)
3. Six Flags Over Georgia (Goliath and Twisted Cyclone. This top 3 was hard to choose. These 2 rides are incredible complements!)
2. Islands of Adventure (Hagrid's and Hulk. These rides are already some of my favorites AND go together very well, but when I ride VelociCoaster, you know where this park is going...)
1. Carowinds (Fury 325 and Copperhead Strike. I like Intimidator a bit more, but Copperhead just complements Fury so well. So much so that they sell shirts that say "Fury vs Copperhead!" You really can't go wrong with Carowinds' top 4 (or 5 imo))
For me I think the number one for me is actually Kings Dominion with I305 and Twisted Timbers... Though Six Flags New England also gets a big shoutout to me.
Can someone tell me, why Cedar Fair keeps putting B&M Gigas in parks that already have B&M Hypers? Like, what are you trying to achieve?
I think it might be that they are trying to 1up their hyper
They want bigger B&Ms to beat out their already tall rides.
This was kind of confusing for me also. I like it, but it is weird
I bet if the B&M strata comes out, the first two parks that will get one are Cedar Point and Carowinds
@@TheCycloneHunter dont know about cedar point because they have a Intamin Strata
I think it would have been cool to base the list more on how close each 1-2 punch is to each other in the park; that's what I thought of when I clicked the video. This is especially true for KI and CP on your list, since those two are so close together for both parks.
Kinda surprised Farenhiet and Stormrunner wasnt on there from Hershey
If this video was made in 2010, it would've made the list.
excuse me sir are you forgetting about skyrush?
Seeing Kennywood on here made me so happy cause that’s my home amusement park. And I LOVE the phantoms revenge
Wow, pleasantly surprised with #1! Only been to SFNE once in 2016, but I rode Wicked Cyclone over and over (got on the incredible Superman only once cuz that's when they were doing the VR goggles that took forever - why bother? It's a perfect ride without them). I still remember those two incredible coasters so well, I was thinking to myself "even though it's not my home park, I hope SFNE is here cuz those two were awesome." I didn't think it'd be #1 but was happy to see! (Living in NYC, home park is SFGA so always happy to see your love for El Toro. Best first drop, you are correct.)
Wow, I wasn't expecting New England to even be on this list! And my home park! So proud 😊
As soon as I saw the video i thought six flags New England
So happy to see my home park at number one beating out Magic Mountain and Cedar Point!! I love Wicked Cyclone and Superman The Ride but if I ride Twisted Colossus or X2, I'm sure those would top my list!
Great video and concept, you always wanna know the top two coasters in a park to get to them first at opening then to ride them again before closing.
I personally feel like BGW could’ve made a spot on this list, but I can see why it wouldn’t be with your opinion on Apollo’s chariot
iDieLots at least he’s not Logan, as AC is actually still in Chris’s Top 50
iDieLots Pantheon and Alpengeist would be the 1-2 punch :(
Xavier Domenico Pantheon Apollo’s all the way
iDieLots I see , but I find Alpengeist more... exhilarating. Apollo’s is a great ride, but I think Alpengeist might pack more of a punch than Apollo’s.
verbolten deserves more respect,BGW shouldve been on this list with verbolten in there
I won't disagree with your pick from Cedar Point, but I've personally experienced something truly unique that probably tops anything out there. Backseat ride on Steel Vengeance followed by a rollback on Dragster
I'm surprised Cedar Point wasn't #1, and this is coming from a Magic Mountain fan! I would say Magic Mountain and Cedar Point are the Top Two theme parks out there.
For my MM Wildcard, I replace X2 with Tatsu. Tatsu has such a unique perspective of pretty much everything being so high, and of course, that pretzel loop is insane in the membrane, INSANE IN THE BRAIN!
They are far superior parks than the #1 SFNE, but I agree with the fact that New England has the best 1-2 punch in the country.
Its more like a 1-3 punch for magic mountain
Agree. Also, Maverick as #2 at Cedar Point is pretty insane. CP literally has like a 7 punch line-up. This list seems to majorly prioritize intensity over quality. Don't get me wrong, I love Maverick, but that style of intensity has been massively outclassed these days with RMC just running a masterclass in coaster design. I'd put something like Gatekeeper as the #2 for a better variety. I also LOVE the chill, smooth, floatiness of modern B&M designs.
I think my home park is going to have one of the best 1-2 punches in the world, once F.L.Y. opens. Combined with Taron, Phantasialand is about to have an amazing selection. I'm really excited for it.
If only we didn't have this pandemic right now...
Phantasialand has a great 1-2 punches, even without F. L. Y.. I'd say the best 1-2 punch in europe so far is probably Walibi Holland.
In my opinion, you can't beat the 1,2,3,4,5,6 punch of CP
ah yes, SteVe + Maverick + Magnum + Raptor + TTD + Gemini = Unbeatable Combo
Dragon Mountain Fanboy Gemini?
@@Cosmic_Cretin no raptor is trash
an honor for my home park having the best 1.2. punch. i thought it wasn’t gonna make the list 😂😂
I think you forgot one:
Beech Bend Park: mediocre GCI and generic wild mouse
My home park RIP 😂😂😂
I’m glad you like Twisted Cyclone, it is a very underrated RMC in my opinion.
Just wait till SeaWorld orlando gets the surf coaster
the surf coaster hasnt been confirmed
Psyclone500 he didn’t say it was confirmed
Great Adventure is my favorite 1-2 punch, but replacing Jersey Devil with Nitro. I won’t judge JD yet, but luckily Nitro is my favorite roller coaster in the world. Pair that with El Toro, my number 3, and you get what is in my opinion the best pair of coasters in the country. Cedar Point is definitely close, as Millennium Force and Maverick are my number 2 and 4 respectively. I haven’t had the pleasure of riding Steel Vengeance yet, so hopefully I get back there soon so I can reassess my rankings.
I thought that six flags New England would be a top 5 not #1. I guess that I’m lucky it is my home park
I watched this whole video saying to myself about my home park “SFNE has a great 1-2, but I won’t be mad if he doesn’t include it. the logic would be good with the other parks above it,” only to reach #1 to find it’s my home park! man tht is awesome!!!! gotta catch WC on a fast day in the rain for the best ride tho, wen it’s slow, it’s SLOW!!!
Magic Mountain is pretty insane because Tatsu and Goliath weren't even listed and they are two of my favorite coasters.
In fact, I'd personally choose Tatsu over X2 - that massive dive loop is insane. Probably my favorite part of any coaster I've ridden.
I would've included Behemoth for the Canada's Wonderland one. It's my 3rd favorite coaster overall. Awesome video!!!
Yeah, for me it’s the best coaster at the park (although it’s really close with Leviathan). But hey, he didn’t get a great ride on Behemoth, and that can happen with B&M hypers - they have bad days.
But he got boring rides on I305 and talked about it like Coaster Frenzy with the exception of freaking out.
11:33: there's 3, actually
What’s the 3rd? The 6 he’s referring to are Fury, Orion, MF, SD, Leviathan, and i305
@@clax5612 Red force. Idk why everyone forgets about that ride
Rollertoast Coaster Playlists Most don’t consider it a “true” giga, which is why it isn’t ever listed. They don’t forget about it, they just don’t care about it since it doesn’t have a chain lift.
I love how you used no limits 2 footage.
Raging bull is my fav ride other than x flight and it's my home park
Six flags New England has been my “home” park for over a decade. Whenever I drive past it I’ll stop in just to ride those two.
The one dislike:cedar point fanboy
You should do another video like this for the best top 3 or top 5 coasters at a park.
Hey where is SFSTL?????
Ninja and American Thunder
Ringsofearth yep
This is an incredible video! Wow... Thanks, Bud!
Lowkey I was thinking you were going to forget about SFNE, (my home park), but I do believe it really is an under rated park. All they need is one major investment and they would be on their way to becoming an elite park
Energylandia probably has the best 1-2 punch in the world with Zadra and Hyperion. Also Phantasialand with FLY and Tauron has a pretty solid 1-2.
Cedar Point: Has two of the best coasters in the country/world in SV + Maverick
SFMM: Has TC + X2, both worse than CP's Top 2
Airtime Thrills: Cedar Point #3, SFMM #2
Viewers: wait wut
Maverick is grossly overrated
....but who has the most coasters at 19? Six Flags Magic Mountain, & who is behind with 17? Cedar Point that explains why Magic Mountain edged out Cedar Point in the rankings! Nuff said!
X2 is definitely better than maverick. Just because Coaster studios 4 years ago said it’s that doesn’t mean that it is.
X2 is better than maverck tho
Pinball 541 They have the same number of adult coasters. SFMM just has 4 kiddie coasters to boost its count while CP has 2
WWWWW. I agree that Six Flags New England has the best 1-2 punch in North America. I've been there many times and I can confirm that both of these coasters are incredible. People hate on the U-Bricks but they're fine honestly people are just babies. Wicked Cyclone and Superman are both perfection. Great ranking!
Kick ass video. You should do videos of parks top three best coasters
The best park Trio is a B&M Giga, Hyper, and Invert. Change my mind
So, Carowinds? With Copperhead Strike as #4?
Carowinds and Kings Island Confirmed
Nice list! We are both incredibly fortunate to have two of the very best coaster lineups in our home park. For Carowinds, I would definitely say Afterburn is the clear number two personally, even though I absolutely adore Copperhead Strike! I can't wait to get to SFNE just for those two rides. I agree with you when you said once that Superman has one of the two best layouts ever for a coaster along with Fury. To me, Superman's layout is just perfection.
Pantheon and Apollo’s tho?
St pantheon might suck you don’t know
The Wack Pack Okay while that’s an insanely ludicrous thought (Pantheon has that insane overbank, beyond vertical top hat, stall, and is an intamin launch), Apollo and Alpie are both good enough to be a top 20 1,2 punch in the country
The Wack Pack Gwazi might suck you never know. It’s not exactly fair to mention two new rides he hasn’t even ridden as the best ones and then disregard Pantheon..
The Wack Pack but it’s an intamin blitz coaster, Cmon where did you get that from. That is like saying “Iron Gwazi looks like an amazing rmc but you never know it might suck” BRUH
Bruh I don’t have apollo ranked on my top 250 coasters in the world and I have pantheon and alpengeiest ranked in the top 50 in the world and they are pretty close to each other in the rankings
Wow great list. I have to admit that I'm surprised not to see universal IOA on there somewhere though. With an "old B&M" in the Hulk and Hagrid's motorbike coaster I would think they'd beat out the likes of Discovery kingdom at least. When the Dragons were there as the partner to the Hulk I would think IOA HAS to be there.
Good stuff.
Honestly GhostRider in the front at night is my favorite and I've only ridden Xcelerator once in middle school and it was so much fun
When Cedar Point isn’t number one
zSmxke-_- it shouldn’t be tho
Cedar Point fanboys when Cedar Point doesn't top every roller coaster list known to man
I'm glad that my state got #14 at least. Can't afford to go to Six Flags anymore, but K enjoyed it while I was younger and the entrance ticket was cheaper. I did get to go to Kings Island in '15, but didn't have the money or time to go inside to visit.
There's not much that I can tell you of if Yukon Striker is one of the best b&m dive coasters because Yukon was my first ever dive coaster. But nonetheless, I enjoyed it!
