Agreed, i was blown away by how forceful the launches were. The backwards launch especially was stronger than any mack forwards launch lolololo, and the airtime when you get ti the top is really nice
Maybe they pull good forces but all I could focus on was the agonizing pain in my thighs from the crushing lap bar, only coaster I’ve ridden that’s unbearable and that’s why tempesto is the worst coaster I’ve ever ridden
About the "Toro should be RMC'd" one... I genuinely don't understand why people want already good wooden coasters RMC'd. Yes I get it RMC makes good coasters, but they make good coasters out of old wooden coasters no one likes or cares about any more. Why would you ever close a coaster that's having no real issue? If it still pulls crowds, maintenance doesn't have mental breakdowns over it, the general public generally still enjoys it, why close it? People seem to be heavily forgetting that retracking a wooden coaster can be a significantly better option than RMCing it. If the layout is already good, then why not retrack it? If the coaster can't be saved even by retracking and/or it just does not pull the crowds any more, or it has a godawful layout that doesn't do anything, then sure put RMC into the "consideration pile". I don't like the trend of enthusiasts wanting EVERY wooden coaster over 20 years old to get the RMC treatment. At least leave some of them alone.
If it's about the same price to RMC El Toro as it would be to retrack it then they should consider RMCing it as the RMC version would pull in more crowds then a wooden retrack would.
Kingda Ka has a stronger launch. I always find it much more intense than dragster. Plus it has an airtime hill. They’re pretty close for me but I think I like Ka a little more.
@@gravitydrivenadventures8842 on Ka or Superman I don't see them as that much of a downgrade. If I had ridden Maverick or I305 with the hard OTSRs I might be missing an arm or my head
When it comes to front row vs. back row, I can't imagine an RMC being better in the front. Wicked Cyclone in the back, for instance, has this ridiculous amount of ejector. I've just never gotten quite as much in the front, and I think that holds true for a lot of RMCs.
Twisted Timbers is way better in the front. The barrel roll drop is different and every airtime hill hits harder. In the back seat (generally) the airtime will get stronger as you go through the hill, but its more gradual, where-as in the front you get to the peak airtime in less time, so it ejects you more. Obv this only applies to straight camelbacks that hit the exact same strength in the front and back, the only difference is how quick you get to MAXXX FORCE. If the first drop is a big highlight of the ride, then it will likely be better in the back. This also applies to double-downs and straight crops from turn-arounds, but assuming equal MAXXX FORCE in the front and back then generally the front is better.
Out of the 200 coasters I have ridden there are only 2 I prefer in the front: Colossos at Heide Park and Taron at Phantasialand. Everything else is either better in the back or a ride where it absolutely doesn´t matter where you sit.
@@mikewalker4950 Honestly I think the build-up effect to the maximum force is better than quickly getting to the maximum force and immediately having it weaken. When you're experiencing the weakened force you're comparing it to the force that immediately came before it whilst doing that with the back row means that the force you are experiencing is better than the force you experienced immediately prior to that and as such the entire moment of airtime is quality rather than just the start of the moment.
I once had a really fun ride on Riddler’s Revenge at Magic Mointain because the operator didn’t push the seat down enough (I was pretty short) so I was basically flying for the whole ride.
I actually haven’t experienced an upward launch. The only thing close is that the last time I went to universal studios orlando i was literally like 53 inches and couldn’t ride hulk by an inch, so when i go next time ill be able to experience it!
5:59 Agree- I went to BGT on a really packed day and we had to catch a literal flight at 7 pm so we had to squeeze it in and I only got to ride Sheikra, Cheetah Hunt, and Montu (in that order too) and out of all of those I think Sheikra was my favorite. Probably because i had such low expectations for it and high expectations for cheetah hunt and montu (thought those two rides were good but nothing i would rush back to BGT for), also it was my first dive coaster so I didn’t know what to expect.
Disclaimer: Kings Dominion is my home park, and I've only been to Carowinds once (a few weeks ago) About Kings Dominion > Carowinds, I'd say they're on very close tiers, for the general public they'd probably say Carowinds because it has more rides + less intense ones, but from a enthusiast perspective, they'd be about the same because of the top rides (in my opinion)
Fair enough. Although regarding atmosphere, I'll take KD over Carowinds all day. KD is a much prettier and charming park with alot of trees, shade, fountains, Eiffel Tower etc.
@@overbanked Agreed, KD feels a lot more like a park than a property with thrill rides. Carowinds does still feel like a park, but KD has much more of an atmosphere
On the King dominion>Carowinds, I visited both this summer, both were fantastic I think as far as appearance kd looks nice i305 is intense, twisted timber’s is the best rmc I have ever ridden absolutely insane, Dominator is good , fell in love with carowinds after Fury325, copperhead strike, and afterburn, both amazing parks and definitely a must do for any enthusiasts
The only rattle I notice on nitro is at the bottoms of the first drop, but it’s nothing too bad. Other B&M coasters in the park do have a very noticeable rattle depending on where you sit.
Many Enthusiasts just hate them because they are everywhere. But I agree, they are really good for what they are and especially the reverse trip through the loop is really intense.
@@Soonjai that's one thing that surprised me about my ride: it felt nowhere near as intense as the Batman Clone, though I expect that might be because I rode the Boomerang in the middle of the car while I rode my Batman Clone in the second row it was a lot of fun though, especially since I didn't have to deal with my fear of heights on the return trip
The smooth ones are really fun. My favorite boomerang is at Morey’s Pier. Even though it still has the old restraints, it’s smoother than some B&M coasters and my head doesn’t hit the restraints at all
Verbolten is one of the best family coasters in America. You get launches, indoor, outdoor, helixes, negatives in the back rows, a drop track, a scenic drop over the water, and it’s re-rideable because it has different light and sound packages
@@theone2130 exactly, Seaworld Would Wait For The Hype For Velocicoaster Lowers and Then Iron Gwazi Comes and Steals The Show and Ice Breaker Will Be Better Than Hagrid’s IN MY OPINION because of The Airtime On That Ride Looks Incredible.
@@theone2130 Well You’re kind of right, cause some people prefer Velocicoaster to Iron Gwazi, but others prefer Iron Gwazi to Velocicoaster, so it’s like a 50/50
whenever you plan to go to carowinds make sure you ride copperhead strike, and afterburn in the back, and for FURY 325 the front is the way to go, the back does have an extremely good drop tho
I don't agree, but I definitely see where you're coming from. I think Scream has the best zero-G roll at magic mountain, but as a whole, I actually prefer Riddler for my B&M lopper fix.
tbh Standup coasters are fun to me. If you push it all the way down you can still stand up. When you are in the middle of an inversion and stand up you feel weightless and its great. they get to much hate tbh
I feel like the B&M rattle greatly contributes greatly to Diamondback's inconsistent ride experience. It can deliver such an excellent ride, but when it gives a bad ride, its often then that I am noticing the rattle and groaning metal.
I got one, hot take: yukon striker (Canada's wonderland) it's very fun because of the straight down drop and then you go underground with a big loop and then a inversion.
Hot take: gatekeeper is a lot more fun than millennium. Millennium is kinda wack and doesn’t deliver much airtime as I think a giga should, but gatekeeper does exactly what a wing should
You’ve vid’s are dope man, I used to be OBSESSED with theme parks and rollercoasters when I was a lil kid and I kinda fell back in love with them because of your account
Hot take: El Toro has dropped significantly for me just because of how neglected it's been. Jersey Devil Is better than El Toro. I don't think it should be RMC'd, Six Flags could do better
I completely agree. I found El Toro to be good when I was a kid during its first few years of operation. Now I find it to be uncomfortable and rough. I don’t get any airtime especially since I have to staple myself due to the tiny trains. JDC is far better and I fly out of my seat on it
Thats a spicy one, I dont find toro the MOST comfy ride bc of the restraints but I rode it earlier this year and it was absolutely hauling and smooth, so I can't really relate
That whole park is neglected and run down compared to other parks around it. I was there yesterday, and I was just looking at things that were falling apart, paint fading, and plants growing out of control. It’s a shame because it definitely makes a good income with all of the traffic coming into the park daily, but it’s just dirty and run down looking.
I have a really hot take, and it’s my ranking of Hershey park rides Candymonium (my #1 ever, and I’ve been on Superman, Millie, and Steve) Wildcats revenge (my favorite rmc) Storm runner Fahrenheit (a storm runner minus launch) Skyrush (overrated) Great bear (hurt my head)
I've tried one and thought the drop was insane in the back, plus the loop was good. Didn't care much for the rest, and it certainly was rough, but I still liked the coaster and rode it several times
@@NorthernRidesYaBoi i've ridden front and middle, front seat isn't my favourite because you go into the transition right after the loop really suddenly and it hurts but middle car is just right imo
4:45 this entire thing is true asf, and I haven't even been on a standup before. I know it's true, though, because I was standing in the line for stormrunner for 2 hours, and that 2 minutes of sitting down was the best feeling in the world.
Hot Take: B&M Inverts are worse than any other major manufacture's model (literally i call my home park's Batman Brain Bang because i got such a bad headache we almost had to go home)
Personally it's my least favorite roller coaster I've ever been on but its only other competition for that spot is the ninja. I don't really see why boss fans like it, it's like we ride 2 different coasters, but it would be dumb to get heated over a wooden roller coaster so I dropped a like for this being a hot take
Weird. My rides on Apollo in 2018 gave excellent airtime. Hell, the last hill was probably the strongest non-drop airtime hill I've felt on a B&M hyper and I've been on Mako.
My only B&M hyper so far is Raging Bull and damn that thing was fun, so I probably can't hate a B&M hyper. I just need to get on a standup and if I like standups I can say that I dislike 0 B&Ms
Having ridden Hulk a couple of weeks ago, it is a bit forceless, although that’s not bad. It did feel weak but also fun, and most people aren’t a fan of strong g forces so it’s beneficial. Also, this was after ridden Kraken, which tried to kill me.
Here are some of mine Boomerangs are pretty dang fun Magnum is my favorite coaster I prefer gemini over SteVe The B&M rattle really isn't that bad The Beast is actually really fun. Millennium "Forceless" is pretty forceful. And lastly, Dive coasters are really damn good.
1. Haven't rode a boomerang in a while but I don't remember it being that fun 2. Sure I guess 3. Haven't rode either but I'm still extremely concerned about you 4. Yes 5. Haven't rode 6. Compared to other coasters It is kinda forceless 7. They fun
my hot take: SLCs are actually really good. I have ridden Thunderhawk at MA at least 30 times this season and i’ve had maybe a couple bad rides but the vast majority were really good.
Totally agree with the forbidden journey!!! The ride was ok, but as someone who has an ok strong stomach l, I was feeling nauseous for a while after. The best part was the queue, which was so good. If I go back I will wait in the queue again and just skip the ride
I definately agree with the Mine Blower take. When I went to Orlando in 2017 it was actually my favourite coaster of the trip. I've seen the Velosicoaster POV, don't see Velosicoaster topping it. Iron Gwazi might have a chance though. Keep in mind the ride was like 10 days old when I rode it and I could see the potential for it getting rough which some of my friends who have been down there since say has happened. But based on my rides, it is the best coaster in Florida. I also agree with the take on Candymonium. While I do enjoy it and it holds a special place for me having been my 200th credit, not gonna lie I prefer Apollo's Charriot (still a lower tier B&M hyper). And it really isn't close between them. It isn't the worst B&M hyper but it is the worst B&M hyper with airtime as the main focus. But my hot take on that is that's exactly what Hersheypark needed: you want intensity go ride Skyrush. As an enthusiast I definately prefer Skyrush but more shockingly Candymonium may not even be in my top 5 at Hersheypark. But considering what the GP think of Skyrush having Candymonium as the big GP croudpleasee is exactly what the park needed. I will say though, it's been almost a decade since Hershey has done something aimed at thrillseakers, their next coaster should be aimed at thrillseekers.
Here’s my controversial opinion. I hate steel vengeance for one reason. Those fucking restraints gave me bruises. It’s a shame, because the airtime is amazing, and the layout is fantastic. But I didn’t even get much airtime my first time because I was stapled by the ops. Again, it’s such a shame, because I was so pumped for Steve.
alright. I don’t go on coasters much but there’s one in wildwood that REALLY stood out. The Great White. It was an amazing ride (And even able stand up to el toro not in air time but in pure fun)
hot take: i like rage in adventure island, 3 inversions, not to small, not to big, not to rough, not too smooth, not that intense, its just a nice and fun thrill coaster.
I think Millie has a great drop in the back, because you have the speed over he hill, which is massive, so you get really sustained (not quite ejector) airtime for what feels like 3 full seconds
As someone’s who has been to kings dominion, twisted Timbers airtime feels like you’re being launched to the moon. You literally slap into the restraints
I’d say rattles on B&M only matter where they can actually cause genuine discomfort like on a ride like Firebird where the rattles caused headbanging outside of the back row which is surprisingly really fun
Grizzly is the worst coaster I've ever been on, to be fair I was in the middle on a wheel seat but I got stapled so hard my legs were bruised and I had a pounding headache sitting on the brake run. And predator at Darien lake for me was rough but I was okay grizzly is on a whole another level of rough
I think RRR is a good ride, just uncomfortable for someone skinny like me who was jostling around in the harness the entire time--and I'm not someone who complains about roughness or rattling often. I don't start greying out often on many roller coasters, but something between the jostling and staring up at the sky during the "G clef" segment got to me. It's not unrideable, it's pretty fun and I totally recommend riding it, but if you don't fit that restraint well then it might not be the best.
6:40 OK so but Silverstar's rattle is bad. Like plain bad. I am not looking for rattle, but it's just so damn noticable. Back in June I actually got a mild headache after I rode it in the back seat left side.
My hot takes- 1-there should be more consistency in business model between nick universe American dream and nick universe mall of America. 2-American dream should have at bear minimum had at the water park and at least some of the major anchor stores + 20 to 30 of the smaller store near the parks open along side nick universe before opening the mall to the public, because had they done that, from day 1 they could have made the mall itself a half day/ potential full day experience 2- some of people who make virtual coasters (I.e no limits 2 enthusiasts) deserve so much more praise
I think that DC rivals hyper coaster is the best Mack rides thrill coaster, Scooby doo spooky coaster is the best wild mouse, and superman escape is an elite intamin hydraulic launch coaster. Btw these are the big 3 coaster at my home park (Movie world, goldcoast).
Yes I agree that KD is better than Carowinds. Honestly I think that Kings Dominion’s lineup fits me more but then again Fury 325 is my number 3 bucket list coaster
On the Front Row Vs Back Row Debate I am with you on it depending on the ride with the exception of one coaster... Velocicoaster front and back row are entirely different experiences that are equally as amazing. The top-hat, for instance, front row you don't get ejected but as it begins its descent you find yourself almost falling into air time ( I know, this sounds crazy but you'll understand what I'm talking about once you have felt it) and the back row ejects you as you are pulled over the top. Both experiences are equally amazing, but very different at the same time. I actually enjoyed the back row on this one more than the front, but only fractionally. Typically I would agree that launched coasters are better in the front, but this one is an exception.
Also probably worth adding that Velocicoaster also has more ejector air time than any other launched coaster I have ever been on, and ejector elements are usually better in the back.
Bro..... you need to ride Fury 325......Fury 325 is on practically every enthusiast list top 5 for a reason.... Still wondering how B & M will ever make a coaster better than Fury 325..
west coast native, heres some of mine: - ejector is overrated - hangtime is underrated - positive g’s are massively overrated - xcelerator deserves props, especially bc it has a lap bar - x2 >>>> twisted colossus (even when its dueling) - banshee > montu (at least from an outsiders perspective) - totally agree with you that rattle doesnt matter, like hello people love when a wooden coaster has “character” - superman el ultimo escape is super fuckin underrated - six flags food isnt bad - this community can be kinda toxic especially when it comes to “”GP””
@@blitzn00dle50 yeah haha its no problem to disagree thats why theyre my hot takes and true edit: let me also be clear, ejector and positives are great just overrated
1: Riddlers revenge (snfe)> montu 2: Hulk is the best coaster in Florida that’s open right now. 3: s&s freespins are elite 4: kumba is just okay 5: Superman the ride’s restraints are better than RMC lap bars 6: roughness makes a coaster more intense and can make it better. 7: sky rocket 2s have the worst restraints on any coaster (not even counting the comfort collars) 8: b&m ots restraints = b&m clamshells

You could argue that it’s already been RMCd considering they built it, and of course pedantry annoys no one online.
If it's about the same price to RMC El Toro as it would be to retrack it then they should consider RMCing it as the RMC version would pull in more crowds then a wooden retrack would.

whenever you plan to go to carowinds make sure you ride copperhead strike, and afterburn in the back, and for FURY 325 the front is the way to go, the back does have an extremely good drop tho
Hot take : Silver Bullet is a great coaster that *is* forceful, not all B&M inverts need to be whippy to be good.
Hot take: Scream is one of the most well rounded and best paced rides at Magic Mountain, and possibly my personal favorite. Way underrated coaster.
No
I don't agree, but I definitely see where you're coming from. I think Scream has the best zero-G roll at magic mountain, but as a whole, I actually prefer Riddler for my B&M lopper fix.
how is it well rounded all it has is inversions
Yes finally another scream fan
No.
U can’t say a coaster is bad just because it’s not what u enjoy the most, toro looks like a MASTERPIECE
tbh Standup coasters are fun to me. If you push it all the way down you can still stand up. When you are in the middle of an inversion and stand up you feel weightless and its great. they get to much hate tbh
I feel like the B&M rattle greatly contributes greatly to Diamondback's inconsistent ride experience. It can deliver such an excellent ride, but when it gives a bad ride, its often then that I am noticing the rattle and groaning metal.
The airtime in the back of the school bus > Steve outer bank
I clicked faster than stealths acceleration
I got one, hot take: yukon striker (Canada's wonderland) it's very fun because of the straight down drop and then you go underground with a big loop and then a inversion.
So happy we have similar opinions! Anyways, this video was fun to watch :D
Video idea - How defunct manufacturers would change the industry if they were still around today and what you think could’ve happened.
Hot take: gatekeeper is a lot more fun than millennium. Millennium is kinda wack and doesn’t deliver much airtime as I think a giga should, but gatekeeper does exactly what a wing should
I have to agree with this one
You’ve vid’s are dope man, I used to be OBSESSED with theme parks and rollercoasters when I was a lil kid and I kinda fell back in love with them because of your account
Hot take: El Toro has dropped significantly for me just because of how neglected it's been. Jersey Devil Is better than El Toro. I don't think it should be RMC'd, Six Flags could do better
I completely agree. I found El Toro to be good when I was a kid during its first few years of operation. Now I find it to be uncomfortable and rough. I don’t get any airtime especially since I have to staple myself due to the tiny trains. JDC is far better and I fly out of my seat on it
It is a bit rough so I think GhostRider is better
Thats a spicy one, I dont find toro the MOST comfy ride bc of the restraints but I rode it earlier this year and it was absolutely hauling and smooth, so I can't really relate
That whole park is neglected and run down compared to other parks around it. I was there yesterday, and I was just looking at things that were falling apart, paint fading, and plants growing out of control. It’s a shame because it definitely makes a good income with all of the traffic coming into the park daily, but it’s just dirty and run down looking.
You’re wrong
Hot take:
Lost Gravity and Gold Rush > Untamed (WH)
I have a really hot take, and it’s my ranking of Hershey park rides
Candymonium (my #1 ever, and I’ve been on Superman, Millie, and Steve)
Wildcats revenge (my favorite rmc)
Storm runner
Fahrenheit (a storm runner minus launch)
Skyrush (overrated)
Great bear (hurt my head)
by best hot take is that turbo (a pinfari zl42) is actually very enjoyable
I've tried one and thought the drop was insane in the back, plus the loop was good. Didn't care much for the rest, and it certainly was rough, but I still liked the coaster and rode it several times
@@NorthernRidesYaBoi i've ridden front and middle, front seat isn't my favourite because you go into the transition right after the loop really suddenly and it hurts but middle car is just right imo
@@lazlostuff
Yea, I agree, front row hurts
4:45 this entire thing is true asf, and I haven't even been on a standup before. I know it's true, though, because I was standing in the line for stormrunner for 2 hours, and that 2 minutes of sitting down was the best feeling in the world.
Hot Take: B&M Inverts are worse than any other major manufacture's model (literally i call my home park's Batman Brain Bang because i got such a bad headache we almost had to go home)
OTSR moment, I feel like OTSRs in general are just a crime against humanity and a vest restraint that B&M didn't do is the solution
The Boss at Six Flags St. Louis has one of the best wooden coaster layouts and is has to be CCIs best creations.
Personally it's my least favorite roller coaster I've ever been on but its only other competition for that spot is the ninja. I don't really see why boss fans like it, it's like we ride 2 different coasters, but it would be dumb to get heated over a wooden roller coaster so I dropped a like for this being a hot take
Trust me, once you ride Apollo and you’ll realize that every other B&M hyper has superior airtime
probably
Well said
@@Coastoons B&M hypers are notoriously temperamental. I got very good and bad rides on Goliath(SFOG) and Intimidator
Weird. My rides on Apollo in 2018 gave excellent airtime. Hell, the last hill was probably the strongest non-drop airtime hill I've felt on a B&M hyper and I've been on Mako.
My only B&M hyper so far is Raging Bull and damn that thing was fun, so I probably can't hate a B&M hyper. I just need to get on a standup and if I like standups I can say that I dislike 0 B&Ms
Beast at kings island is good and vortex at KI (closed in 2019) is underrated
Having ridden Hulk a couple of weeks ago, it is a bit forceless, although that’s not bad. It did feel weak but also fun, and most people aren’t a fan of strong g forces so it’s beneficial. Also, this was after ridden Kraken, which tried to kill me.
Here are some of mine
Boomerangs are pretty dang fun
Magnum is my favorite coaster
I prefer gemini over SteVe
The B&M rattle really isn't that bad
The Beast is actually really fun.
Millennium "Forceless" is pretty forceful.
And lastly, Dive coasters are really damn good.
Ues mille is extremely intense
@@MillenniumForceMan if you think millennium is extremely intense then I'm surprised you didn't pass out on maverick
@@cube_control wdym maverick pulls no positives
@@MillenniumForceMan and millennium has one moment with positives
1. Haven't rode a boomerang in a while but I don't remember it being that fun
2. Sure I guess
3. Haven't rode either but I'm still extremely concerned about you
4. Yes
5. Haven't rode
6. Compared to other coasters It is kinda forceless
7. They fun
my hot take: SLCs are actually really good. I have ridden Thunderhawk at MA at least 30 times this season and i’ve had maybe a couple bad rides but the vast majority were really good.
no
I agreed there pretty good like the Great Nor’Easter
Great Nor’easter
@@zack9777 who even cares
Totally agree with the forbidden journey!!! The ride was ok, but as someone who has an ok strong stomach l, I was feeling nauseous for a while after. The best part was the queue, which was so good. If I go back I will wait in the queue again and just skip the ride
“A B&M rattle doesn’t cause the restraint to go down”
Goliath at SFOG: Am I a joke to you?
I was at Carowinds a month ago and I thought that Fury was more intense than afterburn
I definately agree with the Mine Blower take. When I went to Orlando in 2017 it was actually my favourite coaster of the trip. I've seen the Velosicoaster POV, don't see Velosicoaster topping it. Iron Gwazi might have a chance though. Keep in mind the ride was like 10 days old when I rode it and I could see the potential for it getting rough which some of my friends who have been down there since say has happened. But based on my rides, it is the best coaster in Florida.
I also agree with the take on Candymonium. While I do enjoy it and it holds a special place for me having been my 200th credit, not gonna lie I prefer Apollo's Charriot (still a lower tier B&M hyper). And it really isn't close between them. It isn't the worst B&M hyper but it is the worst B&M hyper with airtime as the main focus. But my hot take on that is that's exactly what Hersheypark needed: you want intensity go ride Skyrush. As an enthusiast I definately prefer Skyrush but more shockingly Candymonium may not even be in my top 5 at Hersheypark. But considering what the GP think of Skyrush having Candymonium as the big GP croudpleasee is exactly what the park needed. I will say though, it's been almost a decade since Hershey has done something aimed at thrillseakers, their next coaster should be aimed at thrillseekers.
Hot take (maybe?): Titan at SFOT is awesome!
"mine blower is really really good"
respect = 0
Hot Take: SooperDooperLooper is the best looping coaster
Here’s my controversial opinion.
I hate steel vengeance for one reason.
Those fucking restraints gave me bruises. It’s a shame, because the airtime is amazing, and the layout is fantastic. But I didn’t even get much airtime my first time because I was stapled by the ops. Again, it’s such a shame, because I was so pumped for Steve.
alright. I don’t go on coasters much but there’s one in wildwood that REALLY stood out. The Great White. It was an amazing ride
(And even able stand up to el toro not in air time but in pure fun)
Skyrush was my first big steel coaster so I'll always love it
Hot take: coasters are just a long car on a fixed track
They kinda are
Hot take: Rougarou is better then Banshee by a landslide
Hot take: This is one of the best TH-cam channels ever
Hot take: GhostRider is better than El Toro.
L
Oooooh that’s a spicy one
Coaster enthusiasts right now: "Kill me now"
hot take: i like rage in adventure island, 3 inversions, not to small, not to big, not to rough, not too smooth, not that intense, its just a nice and fun thrill coaster.
I think Millie has a great drop in the back, because you have the speed over he hill, which is massive, so you get really sustained (not quite ejector) airtime for what feels like 3 full seconds
Hot take: I like Ka over Dragster. Shoot me now & Mine blower is elite as well🤙🏽
As someone’s who has been to kings dominion, twisted Timbers airtime feels like you’re being launched to the moon. You literally slap into the restraints
vertical lift into non inverting loop is hangtime at knott’s as well
Imagine standing for 1-2 hours in line only to figure out that you’ll be standing on a roller coaster
Hot take: leviathans drop is just as good as Millennium Forces, fury and Orion’s drop.
I’ve been on leviathan and I still remember the first time I went on I thought my restraint broke off cause there was so much airtime
@@Ry-pk1mb IKR I have it at my home park and it has crazy underrated airtime and that drop just feels ENDLESS
People don't think it is?
@@blitzn00dle50 no there’s people who say fury’s is a lot better
@@EZKI332 but all those drops are literally the same thing
I’d say rattles on B&M only matter where they can actually cause genuine discomfort like on a ride like Firebird where the rattles caused headbanging outside of the back row which is surprisingly really fun
Every rmc needs a back row especially on twisted colossus
Grizzly is the worst coaster I've ever been on, to be fair I was in the middle on a wheel seat but I got stapled so hard my legs were bruised and I had a pounding headache sitting on the brake run. And predator at Darien lake for me was rough but I was okay grizzly is on a whole another level of rough
I think RRR is a good ride, just uncomfortable for someone skinny like me who was jostling around in the harness the entire time--and I'm not someone who complains about roughness or rattling often. I don't start greying out often on many roller coasters, but something between the jostling and staring up at the sky during the "G clef" segment got to me. It's not unrideable, it's pretty fun and I totally recommend riding it, but if you don't fit that restraint well then it might not be the best.
Hot take: Superman Ride of Steel is actually really good.
6:40 OK so but Silverstar's rattle is bad. Like plain bad.
I am not looking for rattle, but it's just so damn noticable.
Back in June I actually got a mild headache after I rode it in the back seat left side.
I'd still argue that while the rattle is there, it's not bad. I found it pretty easy to ignore on my rides. God I love that coaster xD
Yeah its annoying on silver star but i only really notice it after the 1st drop in the back so its fine imo
wot I don't even notice rattle on silver star
@@rechtebanana Well maybe your rattle tolerance is higher or sth
My hot takes-
1-there should be more consistency in business model between nick universe American dream and nick universe mall of America.
2-American dream should have at bear minimum had at the water park and at least some of the major anchor stores + 20 to 30 of the smaller store near the parks open along side nick universe before opening the mall to the public, because had they done that, from day 1 they could have made the mall itself a half day/ potential full day experience
2- some of people who make virtual coasters (I.e no limits 2 enthusiasts) deserve so much more praise
I think that DC rivals hyper coaster is the best Mack rides thrill coaster, Scooby doo spooky coaster is the best wild mouse, and superman escape is an elite intamin hydraulic launch coaster. Btw these are the big 3 coaster at my home park (Movie world, goldcoast).
Hot take: Rougarou gets too much hate
I like Vekoma boomerangs. I'll die on this hill
from experience, montu in the back at night is wild even when its running kinda slow in the cold
Congrats on 20k!
Yes I agree that KD is better than Carowinds. Honestly I think that Kings Dominion’s lineup fits me more but then again Fury 325 is my number 3 bucket list coaster
"where else would you get a vertical lift hill into a non inverting loop?"
Me: hangtime hangtime HANGTIME HANGTIME
On the Front Row Vs Back Row Debate I am with you on it depending on the ride with the exception of one coaster... Velocicoaster front and back row are entirely different experiences that are equally as amazing. The top-hat, for instance, front row you don't get ejected but as it begins its descent you find yourself almost falling into air time ( I know, this sounds crazy but you'll understand what I'm talking about once you have felt it) and the back row ejects you as you are pulled over the top. Both experiences are equally amazing, but very different at the same time. I actually enjoyed the back row on this one more than the front, but only fractionally. Typically I would agree that launched coasters are better in the front, but this one is an exception.
Also probably worth adding that Velocicoaster also has more ejector air time than any other launched coaster I have ever been on, and ejector elements are usually better in the back.
Love the vid, would watch if it was a series
video idea: roller-coasters that are basiclly just flat rides. (and vice versa)
Bro..... you need to ride Fury 325......Fury 325 is on practically every enthusiast list top 5 for a reason.... Still wondering how B & M will ever make a coaster better than Fury 325..
I think they can. It’s just a matter of who will purchase it other than cedar fair
west coast native, heres some of mine:
- ejector is overrated
- hangtime is underrated
- positive g’s are massively overrated
- xcelerator deserves props, especially bc it has a lap bar
- x2 >>>> twisted colossus (even when its dueling)
- banshee > montu (at least from an outsiders perspective)
- totally agree with you that rattle doesnt matter, like hello people love when a wooden coaster has “character”
- superman el ultimo escape is super fuckin underrated
- six flags food isnt bad
- this community can be kinda toxic especially when it comes to “”GP””
I disagree on positives and ejector (no force on a ride is bad imo) but the last one isn't an opinion, that's a fact
@@blitzn00dle50 yeah haha its no problem to disagree thats why theyre my hot takes and true
edit: let me also be clear, ejector and positives are great just overrated
hot take: Fahrenheit at Hershey park isn't even close to the top 3 in the park. both wooden coasters and laff trakk are better.
Hot take: Steel Force (dorney park) is better than Magnum XL 200 (Cedar Point)
Hahahahahaha…I’ve got one! The Boss>Every Single Ride at Kings Island
1: Riddlers revenge (snfe)> montu
2: Hulk is the best coaster in Florida that’s open right now.
3: s&s freespins are elite
4: kumba is just okay
5: Superman the ride’s restraints are better than RMC lap bars
6: roughness makes a coaster more intense and can make it better.
7: sky rocket 2s have the worst restraints on any coaster (not even counting the comfort collars)
8: b&m ots restraints = b&m clamshells
YESSSSSS someone else realizes how much SR2’s lap bar crushes u, by far the worst restraints I’ve experienced, also I agree Superman the rides restraints are actually good, they don’t even touch u unless ur stapled in the station or are getting airtime
You obviously haven't ridden a Pinfari with Otsrs...
@@cxnall1303 i have actually, they are bad, in fact that coaster is my #3 worst, but nothing can compare to the pain of tempesto's lap bars, at least i could brace and somewhat enjoy my experience on the pinfari looping zyklon
I really loved the vid! Do another please! Also wdym front is just as good if not better than the back???? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE
veiw and sense of speed. The airtime is just while going up the hill rather than going down
@@Coastoons I can see that, I’ve have had so many more powerful moments of ejector and floater airtime in the back! I have to try that out sometime now though by your recommendation
