Thanks for giving my home park some attention! I had 30 rides on Shivering Timbers in the last week. One yesterday was in pouring rain, probably the fastest it's ever run for me. I see some comments about it being rough... There are a couple rough spots, on the way up the first two camelbacks. If you aren't in a wheel seat they aren't too bad, but they can sometimes be brutal. I recommend odd numbered rows and the blue train for the smoothest ride. A lot of people say front row is smoothest, but oddly I find it is row 9. The airtime is still good but the laterals are a little weaker in that row.
Row 3 is pretty special too, airtime is great and the laterals are extra strong for some reason, especially the second half of the helix.
You're welcome! I like the park.
I had my only 3 rides on it that same day. I had a rain ride, but the heaviest rain seemed to be falling when i was still waiting in the station. It was my best ride of the 3 and I rode in the second to last row. I returned around 4:30 for 2 consecutive rides. One in the the middle of the train in a wheel seat ( probably about row 6) and I felt a huge pot hole in the pull out of the first drop. I followed that up with a front row ride that I also thought was solid, but just not quite as good as the earlier ride in the back. You're lucky to have this coaster in your home park!
@@timk987 Thank you!
Thanks for the feedback! We get season passes to mi adventures every year for the past 3 years now. My daughter is just 48in and trying to figure the smoothest ride on shivering timbers, i haven’t rode that one since 2017. The park is awesome for what it is!!
This is a list I’ve been eager to see even though the number one was obvious from watching your previous videos.
I think everyone will have the same number one.
Omg thank you for showing my home town amusement park I love it there I went there last month ago with my family it was soo fun cause I went on some roller coasters but because it closed at 7 and the water park closed at 5 I couldn’t go on all but the Grand Rapids one I was born there😂. I went on Shivering Timbers which was so scary but fun and then wolverine wildcat and corkscrew 😊
You're welcome!
Great video! Shivering Timbers looks awesome!
It's spectacular.
@@CanobieCoaster That's great!
Thunderhawk is number 2 in the park
Not for me.
Your rankings are so awesome! Michigan’s Adventure looks pretty underrated. My home park is Kings Island, so I know how good Cedar Fair can be. Surely this park can’t be that bad!
It's a good park. Just not as good as other Cedar Fair parks.
My first of a roller coaster was shivering timbers I loved it and tomorrow I’m going to Michigan aventures again around noon. I’m so excited and call me when I have not been on his corkscrew and my mouse.❤😮
Enjoy!
Thunderhawk was actually my favorite coaster at the park. Back row was smooth and forceful, and was fun all around. Wildcat gave a fun and comfortable enough ride and came in at number 2. Shivering Timbers landed at 3, with my back row ride being one of the roughest rides I have ever experienced
I tried Thunderhawk my first time to the park and wasn't a fan.
@@CanobieCoaster with the three I have ridden so far (Nopuko, T3, and this) I have had much better experiences in the back. Plus, these OTSRs didn't bother me as much as Nopuko or T3 thighcrush did. I definitely want to try Great NorEaster at some point!
Ride odd numbered rows only on ST. No wheel seat!
WW is far rougher than thunderhawk. And shivering timbers can be rough as well. I don't believe it was fair to completely exclude it from the list.
i passed out…
Great video!
Thanks!
Yes! Another top ten!
Yup!
Great rides. Love me some woodies and water rides.
Me too.
Yay!!! I was waiting for a Michigan's Adventure Countdown. While MI's in my state, due to location (near Detroit) Cedar Point is my home park.
I think Michigan's Adventure is well maintained and a beauty. Shivering Timbers is a thing of beauty. My dream is for them to add another coaster standout to give them a 1-2 punch to make it a true destination, something not found at Great America or Cedar Point, like an RMC single-rail (even though, its rumored that Great America's getting one in 2024), a Mack Launch, or an S & S El Loco, or even a Chance Hyper GTX like Lightning Run, but I know, I know, it's Michigan's Adventure and we'll get a new umbrella or 2 for the benches.
Great video. I like this peaceful park. Great area for herping for reptiles too, if you enjoy looking for snakes and turtles near the area at a park or near the lake
Shivering Timbers really needs to be paired with a solid 2.
Nice video ! The only cedar fair park I haven’t visited, so I don’t have opinions. But Shivering Timbers has a great reputation and I look forward to riding.
Shivering Timbers alone is worth it.
A top ten for my home park! Went there on Friday! :)
Nice!
Are you going to do this style video for my home park Darien Lake at any point?
Yes
Bucketlist park for me! Just for Shivering Timbers alone
Makes sense.
Hydro Blaster really confused me when I saw it open, considering I went on a day when the waterpark was closed. I didn't realize it was those "dry" waterslides. The ones at Bell's were drenching. I didn't ride the ones at Michigans Adventure, since it was cloudy & in the 70s.
Thunderhawk is my # 5. Wolverine Wildcat is by far my 2nd favorite in the park. It was delivering airtime almost as good as Shivering Timbers, so I kept going back & forth, and the ride ops were having so much fun with the guests.
Sounds like you got really good rides on Wildcat.
Number 10, swan boats.
Ohhhhh it’s one of THOSE parks
Great views!
I rode Wolverine Wildcat once and it was super shaky and gave me a headache, and I thought Thunderhawk was actually really smooth, but I agree with a lot of the list!
They did a lot of work to Wolverine Wildcat to make it smoother in recent years.
I’m a Michigander but have never been. I live closer to Cedar Point and just got a summer pass. Is Michigan Adventure worth the extra hike?
Cedar Point is better, but Shivering Timbers is amazing and lines are usually not as long as this park.
I had a feeling thunderbolt would be on this cause it’s a fast decent ride
It's just ok.
@@CanobieCoaster Alr just my opinion
I hired thunderhawk
Hired?
On my one trip in 2019 I rode all the coasters (except Big Dipper) and Thunderhawk was easily my number 2. I thought Wolverine Wildcat was kinda boring (and had the longest line since it only has one train). Mad Mouse is definitely one of the best mouse coasters. I just found Thunderhawk to be incredibly smooth for an SLC and it showcases the strength of the layout for an SLC. I haven't ridden Riddler Revenge or Great Nor'Easter but I think Thunderhawk is the best SLC that hasn't been modified.
Shivering Timbers feels like if there was a wooden version of Magnum XL 200. Those ejector hills try and put you in the parking lot
I love Shivering Timbers.
And to ride, what do you think about those coasters?
I talk about the park's rides in this video.
We all know this park seriously needs more Cedar Fair attention. Obviously we will admit, Slivering Timbers is REALLY good, but after that, its one of the biggest drop offs ever. I wont be surprised if almost all enthusiasts go here just for Slivering Timbers and get the rest of the credits once and leave. Maybe fixing up an attraction or adding one, for example, the corkscrew is old and if its forcelss, the nthey should take it out and this park really could use a drop tower.
I hope another big coaster is added someday.
And what do you think about those coasters at Michigan's Adventure in capacity:
Thunderhawk
Shivering Timbers
Wolverine Wildcat
Corkscrew
Mad Mouse
Mad Mouse is the worst of all since only one little car runs the course at a time. Wolverine Wildcat also has poor capacity since it has just one train. The others are usually fine.
Which one is the best for a person who never been on a rollercoaster
I would start with Zach's Zoomer and work up.
@@CanobieCoaster thanks
Does HydroBlaster get you particularly wet?
It can, especially with a heavy raft.
No way u put mad mouse in 2 the line for it is like 8 hours💀
The line is awful, but the ride itself is fun.
I love wild cat and shivering timbers and thunderhawk. But you know what i also love the water park!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know a lot of people like the water park.
A mile is 5280’. The coaster with the closest track length to one mile is Diamondback at 5282’. Shivering Timbers is 5383’ which is MORE than a mile of track by 101’. Both are bucket list coasters for me.
Shivering Timbers packs in way more elements.
@@CanobieCoaster IT has more elements that Diamondback but not more than The Voyage, which is also a wooden coaster whereas Diamondback is a metal coaster about the pure long sustained floater airtime. That's why I list the top 3 airtime machines as 1: SV; 2: the Voyage; 3 Diamondback, with ST coming in at #4. But you're correct about ST having more elements: no argument there.
I hope they give this park something new soon, but Shivering Timbers at least looks like an awesome ride.
I hope!
I cried when you listed Swan Boats ahead of the SLC
I had to.
@@CanobieCoaster This channel is counting down the best thrill rides at Dorney. Number 10 BOATS
totally meant to say Michigan's Adventure looo
One of the few big parks in North America I haven’t been to!
Shivering Timbers alone is worth it.
Bro I love Michigan Adventure and thunderhawk Is my Favorite
I like the park too, but not a big fan of that ride.
I think many people like the park because of the rides and roller coasters
It's a decent park.
shivering timbers, swan boats, sloppy joes and mixed veggies at coasters diner, and the amazing water park with my girlfriend marissa in her string bikini for hours hanging in the wave pool talking, relaxing, and riding crazy slides together. it was the life. our home park.
Glad you like it!
For such a trashy park I think it’s nice to have a coaster like shivering timber’s. The ride is kinda like a wooden version of intimidator
I wouldn't call the park trashy as much as under-invested.
ITS NOT TRASHY HOW DARE YOU UR TRASHY
Michigan's Adventure isn't a trashy park. I don't know if you had the opportunity to go to Geagua Lake, but that's what Michigan's Adventure puts me in mind of. Geagua Lake had a Simple Charm to it Before Death Flags got their Poisonous Hands on It. wasn't Cedar Fair that ruined Geagua Lake. Cedar Fair did their best to restore Geagua Lake's Charm, but the damage had already been done by Death Flags. I hope Michigan's Adventure will Never Close, and will Always keep the Simple Charm it has.🎠🎡🎢❤️
why didn't yuo include thunderhawk?
I find it rough.
Im watching this while at michigans adventure
Enjoy!
My home park is cedar point but this is my second. Shivering timbers looks like the wood equivalent of magnum
Shivering Timbers is amazing.
Gotta LOVVVEE! Shivering Timbers. Am I right, but isn't that a really cool name for a wooden roller coaster?
I do love the name.
The theme song has not left my head since I first went in 2015, but I will say loggers run isn’t very good u barely get wet and it’s slow
Some may like the fact you don't get soaked.
Thunder hawk was my favorite
Not one of my favorites.
I kind of thought Thunderhawk would break the curse…
oh it does
don't listen to this bozo who didn't even put it on the list
it's not a bad ride and i thoroughly enjoyed riding it when i still went to michigan's adventure
Nope!
Hopefully I will be able to go to Kentucky Kingdom with my cousin. I want to ride T3
Storm Chaser and Lightning Run are the reasons to visit.
Arrow Thrills, you must be a masochist. T3 is is awful, even with the current harnesses. Now if you put those same harnesses on Thunderhawk, I think Canobie would have put it on the list.
T3 is highly overhated. It's not even rough, and there's no chance of headbanging. You just get some leg crushing, which I understand is a deal-breaker to some, but I'm fine with it. It is my 3rd favorite coaster at the park, but a couple non-coasters beat it out.
@@sk4506 bra what is a masochist ? 🤣
You know it’s a sad park when swan boats make the top 10 rides there…
But those views.
Uh... You've rated a ferris wheel and swan boats above some of their coasters? That's an... interesting take.
Those 2 rides don't cause pain and have great views.
@@CanobieCoaster That's fair I guess. I'm a big fan of Arrow/Vekoma so I guess I'm a bit biased.
I am making a review for formula Rosa is using some of your line footage copyright or not
I don't have any video footage of Formula Rossa that I took. My review includes footage that other creators have made copyright free.
Um what about the thunder hawk
I found it too rough.
@@CanobieCoaster sounds about right
I think Michigans adventure has a better water park ride line up than valley fair has
It's deeper for sure.
I’ o oiloo
Sorry?
Who ever whuld think a wild mouse whuld be number 2 this is how bad this park is
The coasters aren't as good as other Cedar Fair parks minus Timbers.
I'm from Ohio, give us back our slc you monsters.
I wish Geauga was still there.
@@CanobieCoaster I say we steal the rides from other parks and rebuild the park one night. Just use the new shopping center they built there as the entrance and shops.
Ngl people say shivering timbers is the best I disagree it wips you head around to much I just don't like rollercoaster adrenalin I like water slides a lot more (my opinion)
I find it comfortable.
@@CanobieCoaster that's your opinion and that's ok!!:)
I just bought a cedar fair platinum pass (purchased via knotts) and this will be a skip for me......
Shivering Timbers alone is worth a visit.
top ten rides? 💀 we have like 3 😭also there's no way you didn't include thunder hawk, that's one of our only good rides #JusticeForMichigansAdventures
I find Thunderhawk uncomfortable.
@@CanobieCoaster must've just been a bad day 🤷♂️ I usually find it pretty comfortable, definitely more comfortable than shivering timbers
I absolutely HATE HATE HATE Shivering Timbers. Way to violent for my liking 😅
I found it tolerable and love the ride.
Looks like a "one coaster" park, not worth it for tourists... Even if I visit the midwest, this park does not look very attractive compared to the legendary US parks
If you visit the surrounding areas like the beaches or Grand Rapids, it's a fun pit stop, but yeah if you're just on a coaster road trip it's not worth going.
Shivering Timbers is worth it though.
best one is the
Suspense is killing me.
Shivering timber is nowhere near "fairly smooth". Just sayin....that is one bumpy ride
I found it smooth 2 years ago.
@@CanobieCoaster I think you might be in the minority on that? Even reading through the comments on this video, a lot find it pretty rough, especially the first couple dips. My neck popped so bad I nearly went to the emergency room. I held off though and was able to to recover after about 4 months with the chiropractor
I didnt even think there was 10 rides at michigans adventure
They have plenty of supporting rides beyond the coasters.
You left out the ripcord ride
I excluded upcharge rides deliberately.
@@CanobieCoaster but that ride is worth an upcharge. I'd rather ride that over all the pretty mediocre coasters
Sorry but I cannot agree with any list that puts Corkscrew as a top ten attraction. If Michigan's Adventure had only 10 attractions total including Corkscrew, I would do a top 9 list instead. I hate that thing as much as Canobie hates Vekoma SLCs.
Corkscrew is far more comfortable for me.
I Absolutely Love Michigan's Adventure. The setting of the park reminds me So Much of Geagua Lake. This park seems to get So Much Hate from Coaster Enthusiasts. But if you look at the front entrance Facade, it looks just like the former Geagua Lake's Facade. Michigan's Adventure does have a decent collection of Rollercoasters, and Shivering Timbers is Absolutely Awesome!! It's the Blue Streak at Cedar Point on some Very Serious Steroids!! And you're right about the Corkscrew. It's very Smooth, but I don't think that the Trains are uncomfortable. I think what makes this Arrow Dynamics Rollercoaster smoother due to the fact that the inversions doesn't have the Lattice Arch Supports, allowing the track to flex more, vs to what you see on the Corkscrew at Cedar Point. The Lattice Arch Supports are very ugly, and a waste of Steel IMO. I also love the look of the Carolina Cyclone, Corkscrew at Valley Fair, and the Canyon Blaster at Adventure Dome in Las Vegas. Sorry about my small rant about the Arrow Dynamics loopers.🤣🎢❤️
I definitely think it's overhated. It looks nice and Shivering Timbers is elite.
@@CanobieCoaster Shivering Timbers is actually my #2 favorite Wooden Rollercoaster, behind The Voyage.
Crap list lol
To each their own. Everyone will rate rides differently.
