I think BGT needs a b&m hyper or giga or a voyage style gravity group. Every major coaster there has inversions and I think that’s kind of an issue even though I think they’re all great.
I'd love to see a B&M giga at both Busch Gardens parks.
Giga please. Mako is down the road so they would have to go big.
Apollo has no inversions
@@stormy7083 BGT not BGW
@@GalcianBTHprobably not BGW since there’s a giga 1 hour down the road at Kings Dominion with I305.
Airtime Thrills: Instead of giving every park a max force
Me: LOL 😂😂😂
you literally got me off guard when you said Dollywood was the weakest park lmao
Ahem it’s wild adventures
Kentucky Kingdom needs *Cinnamon Bread*
@John Lorton why does that matter to you lmfaoo, his username is perfectly fine.
@John Lorton geez calm the insults, I’m only saying he’s should be able to name his channel as he pleases
@@AirtimeProductions just leave it be, they're just someone throws deterring insults like no one's business...anyways keep up the good work with your channel!
Oh hi Airtime productions, I like the name. Keep it, don't listen to haters.
@John Lorton Man stop talking about ripping off names when your name is John Lorton, clearly ripped off from a lot of people
FINALLY, A WORTHY VIDEO
THIS MEAL WILL BE LEGENDARY
i’m not sure how easy this would be but it would be cool to see this with european chains like Merlin etc.
Like alton=wing
Thorpe=wood
Chessington=family launch
For the UK
@@kylebicker8179 for me i think alton towers would be nice with something like an intamin single rail, it could be nice 🤷♂️ i agree with thorpe and chessington tho
@@demodex9653 thanks.
Alton: S&S axis (please)
Thorpe: RMC ibox/custom raptor
Heide park: intamin mega coaster
yes do that
Dang dude props for your 2nd channel, providing copyright-free footage for other content creators.
4:20 Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
My thoughts exactly. Haha
nice
You're not done, Chris. My idea is "The coaster every biggest independent park needs". May you please make that happen?
2 weeks from today thatll drop
@@AirtimeThrills Cool, i already look forward to it
@@AirtimeThrills I hope Silverwood makes that video 👀
@@AirtimeThrills can you add my home park Adventureland in Altoona Iowa
@@connorfeezel3946 yep its on there
I prefer SeaWorld and Herschend over Cedar Fair and Six Flags. I'd take the best of those two chains (BGW, SDC, Dollywood and BGT) over the very best of Six Flags or even Cedar Fair.
Hershey is just *perfection* you kinda have a ride for everyone there
1000% agreed! Six Flags feels like a state fair on a larger scale! Busch Gardens parks are a lot closer to the ideal of Universal or Disney in their theming, food upkeep and quality. I can't say much about Cedar Fair since I've only ever been to King's Dominion (before they owned it) but Six Flags feels like the Walmart of amusement parks. Damn shame since they have the rights to some really good IPs for theming.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 I'd say Cedar Fair parks are fairly similar to Six Flags parks but with a nicer atmosphere and less tackiness (on average.) But both of those chains exist mostly for the rides and I don't think that there is a huge gap between the two chains when it comes to their ride line ups, except that one is clearly more willing to purchase expensive gigacoasters than the other. So in that respect, they fundamentally accomplish the same thing. The only exceptions are Knotts Berry Farm and Six Flags Fiesta Texas which really do seem to offer a more well rounded overall experience, but they are the exceptions.
On the other hand, Busch Gardens Williamsburg, Busch Gardens Tampa Bay, Silver Dollar City and Dollywood all accomplish so much more. They all have great coasters and thrill rides. But the overall experience is just so much better. Most of them have impressive theme park cuisine. They all have great shows and great shops. The experience is immersive. There's a sense of magic or fantasy about all of them like you're on an adventure or you've gone back in time. And all of their park employees are excellent, especially the Herschend folks. It doesn't feel like you're just standing in a boring queue line all day with a series of switchbacks in order to ride a coaster. Those parks do so much more. The theming is near Disney/Universal level but still having the extensive collections of thrill rides to compete with either Cedar Fair or Six Flags.
@@zacg_ i still really like Cedar Point
The Best Cedar Fair Parks Are Better Then Any Seaworld Or Herschend Park Even Though I'm A Massive BGT And Seaworld Orlando Fan
BGW flying coaster? I’m down for that. I’d also be fine with an RMC Raptor or T-Rex. The park’s lineup is one of the best below-10-coaster collections in the world, and either one of those I’d gladly take
BGW has always been had a small but phenomenal coaster selection. They've never had the most and they probably never will but they don't have any garbage coasters in the collection either.
As a BGW resident, I think the flyer is a good idea, but what would be better would be an RMC ground up. Think Lightning Run at KK. The one thing BGW is missing is an ejector air time. But a flyer would be neat to see.
Pantheon: Am I a joke to you?
@@starryagent9936 hey, I see pantheon as a high thrill ride, I was talking about a mid-tear thrill, like Lockness or Tempesto. Also, we don't know how it'll feel. But I do think BGW needs an air time machine that's not Appolo or Pantheon, and more exciting than InVader.
@@Suchatool98 RMC’s aren’t high thrill? I’d argue that anything with extreme ejector air would be considered a high thrill ride
I honestly think Busch Gardens Tampa should get a dark ride or just some more family rides. It’s coaster collection is great and it lacks some of the family rides that other Florida parks have over it.
As bgt being my home park, I do not agree. Bgt has scorpion, sand serpent, cobras curse, air grover, log flume, congo river rapids, and other kiddie sections. If anything, i feel like they need to add more flat rides because they have not one thrilling flat ride besides flacon's fury.
@@kingskew4950 flat rides may be good. My main point is that they have enough thrilling roller coasters and I am personally satisfied with their collection of that type of ride. I would love to see more coasters, but as they only really have 15 non-thrill based rides, I think a dark ride would be cool. Even if it isn't the best option, it could be great. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. BGT is my home park too.
IMO I think they should get a family GCI like invadR because like you said they need more family rides
@@ThemeParkAvenue Not sure I agree with you here. They fall under the Central Florida blanket and they "compete" with the Orlando parks (that is in quotes because the parks are feed off one another's success, people don't take a vacation here and only visit one park so they all benefit from one another). BGT stands out because it has more thrilling rides and coasters than the other CFL parks, in my opinion. I grew up visiting the Central Florida parks, and was willing to make the hike from Orlando to Tampa solely because it had better coasters.
@@brandonscott6188 That's fair. I don't mean to suggest they should remove any thrilling coasters. I just think one or two family rides would make the park more well-rounded. I love BGT right now, though I think they are running out of space for coasters and some smaller rides for all ages would attract some more people.
I just noticed that if you spell airtime thrills backwards then it spells ‘sllirht emitria’
Let’s all admit that SeaWorld Orlando should get a 200+ I box RMC. SeaWorld Orlando can be a great destination park
Itll probably still open before Iron Gwazi
@@AirtimeThrills thats true maybe in the next 4-5 years that cound happen. Ice breaker will be pretty fun. And also dont get me wrong, it is a destination park
@@AirtimeThrills #gotem
I like how you say Sea World San Diego has a good collection on the slide that shows Tidal Twister lol
Good video Chris, you could also consider the Vakoma Space Warp Model for Kentucky Kingdom if the Firestorm height is an issue. It close to the height of Copperhead Strike and the coaster is currently found at Energylandia. If Vekoma could take the ending of the lift hill version with an heartline Roll when it diving in the ground would make it a four looping model and something special and unique to Kentucky Kingdom
I'm sitting here just happy that my childhood park of Wild Adventures was even acknowledged.
Idk when they changed it but I remember when that SLC was orange and called "Hangman"
Dollywood doesn’t have a mack but they should get a mack hyper and it would be an amazing terrain coaster and a 1/2 punch with Lrod
Fully agree with adding a B&M Giga to BGT, as the park does still lack a big floater air machine. They should also remove Sand Serpent (Maybe send it to Sesame Place where it would fit in better?) and replace it with a Gravity Group family wooden coaster to fill that gap as well. I don't think I would want to maintain a large-scale wooden roller coaster in central Florida.
I'm still holding out for a Gravity Group dueling mini woodie for Seaworld San Diego. Theme it to Bert and Ernie, put it between the main gate and Atlantis and stay under the height limit. 10/10
I know the people that do the gator and tiger shows at Wild adventures. They always said they never really liked the rest of the park. So me and my friend would go out and do stuff during the shows. Eventually it did get boring though. Had to be evacuated off of Cheetah once, too.
A 4D free spin at SWO would be a good fit. There are none in Florida, it covers the spinning aspect and it won't take up much room.
True, not the coaster they NEED the most but definitely not a bad fit
Wouldn't be a Coaster prediction video without:
A Raptor
An Extreme Spinner
and a Maxx Force!
Great Video!
Had to squeeze in the maxx force
The interesting thing I've noticed with hershend, they don't really work with the same manufacturer in sdc. All of the coasters are from different manufacturers. Comparing sdc to dollywood, vekoma and gerstlauer are missing. I can see a vekoma suspended family coaster coming in a fireman's landing expansion. There's not much room back there but i think there's enough.
I don't really see BGT getting another woody, after what happened to their last one. But other than that, nice ideas.
I am hesitant about a B&M Giga at Dollywood, particularly because Fury 325 isn't all that far away. In fact, I think even a B&M Hyper at Dollywood is a stretch since the park is surrounded with B&M Hypers/Gigas at Carowinds, SFOG, and Kings Island. If Dollywood ever builds a hyper, I'd really like to see it come from Mack.
Mack would be a good choice too but i was thinking floater air would be ideal
That kind of competition shouldn't be ignored though. I wouldn't want to be the only park in the region without a B&M hyper or giga.
Thanks for shouting out the discord Chris! Amazing video as always:
I was waiting for this one. I’m hyped
I’ve always been a big fan of these companies, hopefully some of these predictions become reality
Could you do a Merlin one (including their european parks)? And maybe a Japan/other countries one too
I will look into overseas parks
Please keep going with this serie... If possible, try this perspectives with countries/continents outside USA
It can definitely be done for overseas parks
If I gave Sea World Orlando a woodie, I’d have it be a RMC with Topper Track, to make it different from the woodies at Fun Spot and IBOX-Tracked Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa.
Just wanted to say, I enjoy your videos, and I’m glad we share the same opinion as far as favorite coaster goes. Twisted Colossus is a masterpiece of a ride, I’ve since made it a goal to ride every RMC I possibly can
Honestly, I'd love whatever Wild Adventures may get. A Raptor would be awesome! I'm hoping for the RMC Cheetah 🤞
I would like to see Dollywood get an extreme spinner, I'd love to ride one of those.
If SeaWorld Orlando even builds a new coaster in the next 5 years I'll be happy because of their struggles. But anything they get is bound to be good. Not like they need it, even without Ice Breaker their 4 other coasters are all super fun!
Also, ge has a family coaster, so we finally found a park with a "worse" lineup then great escape!
yes!! Thanks
I remember requesting this lol, you've probably already thought of it anyway. GREAT VID!!!👍
Love these what a park needs videos.. Always hoping somebody higher up there is watching🥃.
Woohoo! New airtime thrills vid!
I agree with BGW getting a B&M Flying Coaster but I would up the ante. Make it similar to Drachen Fires old lineup with a 300ft+ hill and drop. It would not only please enthusiasts but it would bring back a coaster that has been torn down for nearly 20 years. Remind Arrow why B&M should have done DF in the first place.
I’m surprised you didn’t say a wing coaster for any of them
Wing could fit a lot of parks here but i didnt think it was the BEST fit for any of them
Btw vekoma ARE allowed to build a coaster like that in the US, i heard from IAPPA 2019 in someones interview that some parks were interested in getting a new gen, non family vekoma coaster, also about that SWO infinity coaster... they are still on track on getting that b&m surf coaster
Sea world seems like theyre in such a mess compared to pre pandemic, makes me wonder
I love the crickets in the background when Chris makes a “bad” joke. Gets me everytime 😂
Great vid 👍👍
Due to the 200-foot height limit in Florida, I envision either a B&M hyper or an Intamin hyper in Busch Gardens Tampa, but the B&M hyper will be the one whose floater airtime contrasts Iron Gwazi's ejector.
I didnt think there was a height limit given Falcons Fury being over 300
@@AirtimeThrills Falcon's Fury was given a "special exception".
Dolly wood Lightning rod is like insane I have never seen so much speed not the intensity, loops, or corkscrews just the insanely high speed.
as someone who's home park is busch gardens williamsburg, I do somewhat agree that a flying coaster would be a good fit for the park, especially if it could take up parts dark castle's spot in germany, making a better use of it other than halloween and christmas events if that's all they are going to do
4:28 It seems some of that April 1st sassiness is sticking around 😂
I put too much comedy in the six flags one so i figured i had to inject a little into the others. Just fot funzies
I always forget that Wild Adventures is a Herschend park. I've been there one time, and even though it isn't too far from where I live, I think the only way I'll ever go back is if Herschend comes out with some sort of platinum pass that works at all of their parks.
Still waiting for "Best hand rails in a coaster queue at each park" video. 😂 Love the videos, thanks for making them!
Chris on every park: I wanted to give them a Mack Xtreme Spinner/B&M Giga, but *insert excuse against the Xtreme Spinner or Giga*
THANK YOU!!!! I’m dying for a B&M flyer for BGW!!! That should be the giga instead of that spire thing.
Sea world is only an hour away tho and that has a flyer
@@kingskew4950 Busch gardens Williamsburg ;)
Wild adventures needs to RMC cheetah. The layout looks simple enough and it could be similar to twisted cyclone
For SeaWorld Orlando, Moray Eel, the RMC Raptor
This video is actually one of airtime thrills funniest, I really liked the joking style it had me laughing a lot
"in my opinion. which is correct" lol
I love the coaster choice for Kentucky Kingdom!
I would love to see a video about Herschend’s track record of doing something really unique: investing resources into fixing their coasters that aren’t operating up to their standards or just flat-out don’t work. I’m thinking Buzzsaw Falls/Powder Keg, Mystery Mine, Lightning Rod, etc. For a non-coaster example, I also think of Timber Tower at Dollywood which was eventually replaced by Dropline.
Wild adventures deserves more love and risks to take. I’d say maybe a raptor and a hybrid coaster replacing cheetah
4:05 Nice shot of that 747-8!
I just did Ninja and Apocalypse this week and I really enjoyed them.
You cant go wrong with either one
I never saw lightning rod or outlaw run as a wooden coaster tbh, just steel with like a small slab of wood on it.
Also, as always, not enough Gerstlauer
The Rex Kwan Do self-defense system!!! You think anybody wants a roundhouse kick to face while I'm wearing these bad boys? Forget about it!
My home park is Sea World San Antonio and for years I've been saying we need a Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster where Texas Splashdown use to be.
"After I emptied Herschends and Seaworlds bank account, I think I'm done."
I think he put them in debt ;)
@@MrJamieBattle Oh no
seaworld is already in enough debt rn
I'd like to see either a Gravity Group Midsize Woodie, something with the length of Hades or a Red Force Clone with maybe a little bit more Layout. Unfortunately, I think Tigris and Cheetah Hunt are both great Rides but not great Launch Coasters.
Dude you are obsessed with launch coasters and I share in that obsession dude
Going to SDC in a week xD im pretty sure they will get some off the track coaster but axis never crossed my mind it would be awesome to have the first one at my home park!
I loved the Napoleon Dynamite reference lol. It's one of my favorite movies.
Me too. One of my most quoted movies
BGW could do great with a Extreme Spinner if they put it on DarKastle. Considering it's still just sitting empty. Could be a really cool callback to Curse of the DarKastle
Video idea: every six flags park that needs a maxx force clone
“To build an infinity coaster”
Me: oh like smiler?
“Like shell raiser or takabisha
Hold up hold up. Ice breaker isn’t open yet, right?
I like the idea of a 4D Freespin at SWSD (my home park). Would fill the spinning and off-the-track boxes and there is nothing even resembling a FreeSpin in SoCal since they closed Green Lantern (which I'm not complaining about). Too bad their next coaster appears to be an Intamin family multilaunch (similar to Wave Breaker at SWSA).
For Busch Gardens Tampa I’d love a giga but one small problem
Anything over 200 feet has to have a red blinking dot. I know Mako is over 200 ft and same with Iron Gwazi, but I don’t think they’ll pull the trigger yet on that or not
It’s seriously the only downside of any Florida park
While I agree that Busch Gardens Williamsburg could benefit from a spinner, I don’t see a Flying coaster being integrated into the park anytime soon because of Griffon. Despite being a dive coaster, it’s treated by the park as a ride where you ‘soar through the sky’
Omg a B&M Giga at BGT would be amazing! Not sure if they could get it approved with the 200 ft height limit, but they did with Iron Gwazi, so fingers crossed!
I tried to keep height limits in mind, but with Falcons Fury there i didnt think 300 ft woulf be a problem
@@AirtimeThrills that’s true. I haven’t lived in Tampa for quite some years now, so I don’t know really. I just remember them having to get approval for Iron Gwazi’s height. Falcons Fury was built before, so I’m not sure what the guidelines are.
KY Kingdom next coaster that makes sense is the RMC Raptor, suppose to get one & though change in ownership, still makes sense. They would be the only one in the region & it might be smart to get one b/c Holiday World is a prime candidate for one IMO. If they wanted to go launch the Sky Rocket II make sense, again only one in the region & they don't have alot of space to work with
the pony tail at 3:17 has me dying
Hey, I'm a huge fan. I'd love to find out what UK coasters are most interesting to you. We don't have many, but a list like that would make my day. Hope you notice this!
I did a list of most intriguing european coasters in Oct 2019 which included some from the uk
I'm not certain SeaWorld would want to work with Chance again after the Submarine Quest fiasco (unless I'm mistaken and Chance isn't the manufacturer for that ride). Maybe an Intamin Megalite, or a custom Gerstlauer Infinity Coaster to go where the Wild Artic simulator got ripped out, if they haven't scrapped the coaster plans they had for the site entirely?
Though incidentally, I feel like the space Submarine Quest occupies would be an excellent spot for a smaller, custom spinning coaster.
I hope they get more attractions in the future just like Six Flags!
What do you mean Dollywood needs floater airtime? They already have it with the vast majority of Lightning Rod.
Great stuff as always, are we going to Merlin next?
I could do something focused overseas
Chris: Let’s Talk about the weakest park in the Hershend Family, Dollywood
Me who though that Dollywood was Hershend’s Flagship Park: 😦
New video! Let’s goooooo
Yo hey ghoki
@@ethanhcomposer hey
i am sorry that reply was very inconsiderate
Being a missouri boy, an s&s axis would make me have 3 reasons to change my undies...if ya know what I mean. And honestly I'd never even considered it as a possibility. But if that doesn't happen, I've had my mind on them getting a b&m something off the track most likely. And a wing to match dollywood has been my assumption. But im also a pessimist when it comes to any hope of awesome things happening at my home parks. When time traveler was announced I was so bummed. I couldn't shake thoughts of pandemoniums and spinning dragons. But boy am I glad I was wrong. Its amazing. Since wildfire is there it makes me think invert or hyper from b&m is unlikely, but a invert soaring through the trees on the side of a Ozark mountain could be bad ass. Who knows. Can't wait to see what they have in the barrel.
That one video of Tatsu (at 5:00) is really messing me up. Where are all the other rides that surround it? 😅
That angle makes it so the hill is hiding everything other than tatsu peeking over the top
@@AirtimeThrills even Superman isn’t visible and usually you can see Superman if you can see the hotel that’s across the street and the road right there. Like Goliath and Superman and twisted colossus and crazanity
Busch Gardens Tampa really could use a Hypercoaster
Did anybody else know that when he said Dollywood is bad it played the jelly commercial. Search it up. It a guy that isn’t fancy and he says “can you please pass the jelly” and then everyone faints
Popularized in modern times by family guy
I love how sea world is willing to work with anyone, but after what happened last year with ice breaker and iron gwazi, it basically means that some manufacturers POSSIBLY won't want to work with sea world...
I doubt manufacturers would avoid working with SeaWorld all together, that's a lot of business they'd be shutting down because it took a few months extra for them to get the money, and that was understandable due to the pandemic.
@@twistedgwazi5727 alright, I sort of fixed it
Yes!!!! I caught this right before the discord notification! says 3 views!!! Lol
yes same
“Now for Herschend’s best park, in my opinion, which is correct” 😂 lol
I think a ground up rmc woody at SWO would be amazing
It would be cool, even with IG nearby in the same chain
@@AirtimeThrills I know... I considered its close proximity to IG, but I think Orlando deserves a stand out SMOOTH wooden coaster. I was thinking gravity group, but I haven't seen SW/BG work with gravity group nor do I think gravity group is super smooth, I considered GCI, but I want something more extreme than InvadR. It was the most realistic coaster I could think of while still catering to my "Thusy" side of things.
9:12 with steel supports this time
you should do some of the major european parks
What every park needs to fill the gap in the lineup.
Dollywood: Mack Extreme Spinner
Wild Adventures: Gravity Group Woodie, Premier Rides Sky Rocket II and Sierra Sidewinder
Kentucky Kingdom - Gerstlauer Spinner and Vekoma Space Warp
Silver Dollar City - Vekoma STC
SeaWorld San Diego - Gravity Group Family Woodie and S&S 4D Free Spin
SeaWorld San Antonio - Maurer Rides Spinner
SeaWorld Orlando - GCI Twister Woodie and Mack Blue Fire Clone with Spinning Car
Busch Gardens Tampa - Gravity Group Woodie
Busch Gardens Williamsburg - Gerstlauer Spinner
Video series idea. If you could travel overseas for 1, 2, 3 and 4 weeks, what would your dream theme park itinerary look like?
So if you go for 1 week hit up the Scandinavian parks, 2 weeks do France/Germany/Eastern European etc.
Thanks for the idea, I'll add it to the list
I'd say just give everyone an Eejanaika clone
That would be fantastic
Based
I agree BG Tampa needs a B&M giga, but the 210 ft rule in Florida would prevent that sadly.
