This is a rare case in which Coaster Studios was more specific with a list than Airtime Thrills
@@GoudLoodje i know i saw that come out recently and thought dang good thing its a little different
@@AirtimeThrillswe need the top 10 blue coasters with a vertical loop video
@@CatsAreKindaCool nah let’s get the top 10 coasters with a downhill descent
@@gravitythrills5414 top 10 best coaster drops less steep than 60 degrees
Top ten coasters named Jungle Flying Squirrel maybe
Airtime thrills ahhh coaster studios ahh video 😂
The coaster studios one was Intamin 1-2 Punches
Fr 😂
@@305CoastersOfficialyea your right
100 %
And also, Chris already did a video exactly like this for NA like 4 years ago. So this is just an update for the world for that vid
Voltron and Wodan at Europa Park are way up there for me, two incredible coasters!
Nr.1 is a Dream come True for me😄🇵🇱. As a Polish kid who travelled to California back in 2007 I felt in love with SFMM coasters, especially fresh X2. Always wanted to have something like this in my country and here we have🚀 Hope you can experience it one day. Btw another great video!
I have a suggestion for another countdown- TOP 20 SBNO / Abandoned coasters💀.
"Hyperion is what intamin can do if there are no limits in land and money"
Falcon's flight : Hold my 10 seconds airtime hill
I was thinking, not many parks outside of europe and NA, but maybe falcons flight is so long it can count as 2 coasters and the saudis can have a good 1-2 punch haha
It's actually a 7 second airtime hill, but I quibble; that duration of airtime for a single element of a coaster won't be beaten in our lifetime. 😉
Mako: YOU DOUBLED IT?!?!
My favorites from the parks I’ve been to are
1. Cedar Point
2. Energylandia
3. Phantasialand
Never in my life would I have predicted Airtime Thrills would have put Skyrush over Candymonium on his list
At least with the new restraints it's the better ride
@@analexinthisworld i tried to make this less about my opinion and more about general consensus
@@AirtimeThrills oh.. did you? New England at number two over KD, Hershey, and CP seems kinda like a og airtime thrills opinion 😆
@@peterroberts4415with the new restraints its tied for #1 in the park, can’t decide skyrush or wildcats revenge
i would do wildcats revenge and storm runner
Airtime, thrills, I love your videos! one recommendation for a future video is the best roller coaster announcement/trailers
my personal favorite is Steel Vengeance and Maverick
I don't think anything will top that
Yep. People say Hershey is better, but Steve is the best rmc of all time, and maverick is an elite blitz that, although I haven't ridden sky rush, I can imagine is better. But, there is only one park who is better, and that is energylandia. Nothing will ever top that, unless cedar point builds velocicoaster
I’m honestly surprised it wasn’t #1
@@coastariderMaverick is pretty much Velocicoaster without theming
@@nealkelly9757 yeah, but better. Layout to layout id take maverick over veloci any day
A part of me dies every time anyone says “project” 305
@@weirdproductions8837 real 💀
Not as bad as Thunder Stryker though 💀
InTRIMidator 30...oh wait...😅
intimidator wasn’t that good of a theme imo…not much to lose.
@@michael7054yeah no where near as bad as
Love the half glass full. “Sometimes if the ops time it right you can duel the other track”. We all know it’s “the ride ops don’t ever time it right even if you are the last trains of the night and it’s only you and your buddies on the 2 trains and you ask to duel”
My man has way too much love for wicked cyclone
@@DJDALESS2 never too much
@@AirtimeThrills ever too much
Agree. It could be called Violent Cyclone.
Orion continues to be the most underrated coaster in existence.
@@varunvallury3499 idk i just rode it again and i think its fun but not great at what it should be
@@AirtimeThrillsthe problem with Orion is fury 325. Fury showed us what b&m giga’s are capable of. It was the second ever b&m giga and it blew everything leviathan was out the water. So when we learned there would be a third everyone expected fury 2 electric bugaloo and as someone with carowinds as my home park fury makes Orion feel boring in comparison. Like it’s a good ride but man it feels like such a step back compared to the last giga.
Orion > Mystic Timbers
That SteVe/Mav combo is absolutely killer. I cannot figure out why more parks aren't getting Blitz coasters. Just a killer ride that, seemingly, wouldn't break the bank for most parks.
i like millenium better than maverick
@@VerdeliteAnd I like Raptor more than SteVe. 1-2 punch is an opinion.
@@wickedsickfunkyfreshroller2037 that’s just… millenium and maverick are competitors but raptor is objectively so much worse than vengeance
@@Verdelite My issue with SteVe is that it completely lacks positive G's. Don't get me wrong, it's a super fun ride, long, smooth, and tons of airtime. I just prefer the forces of an old B&M.
@@wickedsickfunkyfreshroller2037 raptor hurts though it bangs your head and just has wierd random pieces of straight track
Was just at Dollywood for the first time in 10 years and holy shit its got one of the best 1-2 punches. Thunderhead and Lightning Rod are both so freaking good
Feel like Parc Astérix warrants at least an honourable mention, I've only heard good things about Toutatis and Oziris. I mean it's basically the same 1-2 as Busch Gardens VA, but with better theming.
Might mention Europa Park too, bit of a drop from Voltron to Silver Star/Wodan but I know there's some people who say those two are slept on.
For Hersheypark, I'd have gone with Candymonium & Storm Runner. Candy is graceful, while Storm Runner has that punchy ass launch, and the elements want to yeet you in all directions.
Kentucky kingdom has an insane 1-2 punch for such a small park
Potentially getting a strong #3 soon with the T3 replacement. I mean Kentucky Flyer may be among the best family coasters but it's certainly a signifigant downgrade from the top 2.
I wouldn’t say insane it’s a good 1-2 punch with two top 40 coasters
I love your videos! Thank you for making them. As a novice coaster enthusiast who is about to hit 100, I'm hyped that you're helping me plan my coaster future 🎢
Last month I went to Energylandia and it was amazing! Abyssus is so underrated and Hyperion is awesome but Zadra is something else entirely!
I like that you returned to this! Of the 24 parks I've been to, here's my top 10:
10. Busch Gardens Tampa: Iron Gwazi and Cheetah Hunt - This one's shaky because of my incomplete opinion of IGwazi. Regardless, it was fun, and Cheetah Hunt (or Montu) is really good too.
9. Dollywood: Lightning Rod and Mystery Mine - This one's lower because Mystery Mine is fairly far down compared to LRod. Still makes for a great combo, and you can't go wrong with changing it out for Thunderhead either.
8. Islands of Adventure: Hagrid's and Hulk - Even without VelociCoaster (haven't ridden it yet), IoA still has an amazing 1-2 punch. Hulk brings intensity, and Hagrid's brings launches, theming, and just overall FUN
7. Kings Island: Orion and Banshee - I really can't go wrong with replacing these with Diamondback, Mystic Timbers, or the Beast. They're all great rides!
6. Six Flags Over Georgia: Goliath and Twisted Cyclone - Fantastic duo! Do I need to explain?
5. SeaWorld Orlando: Mako and Manta - When I first rode these, they instantly became my new top 2, and they're still awesome rides. On Mako, you feel like you're flying, and on Manta, you are!
4. Carowinds: Fury 325 and Copperhead Strike - I technically like Intimidator better, but Copperhead Strike is really good and provides better contrast synergy with the legendary Fury 325. With both, you get speed, both kinds of airtime, intensity, inversions, AND hangtime!
3. HersheyPark: Wildcat's Revenge and Candymonium - Wildcat is one of my favorite coasters ever with fantastic pacing, inversions, and ejectors, while Candymonium brings it with epic floater airtime. (And no, SkyRush doesn't make this list. It's rough and the restraints still auto staple you)
2. Kings Dominion: Intimidator 305 and Twisted Timbers - Extra points for the contrast! Christ nailed this explanation for me :)
1. Cedar Point: Steel Vengeance and Maverick - SteVe is so long and fun, while Maverick is the first coaster that made me hold on for dear life in the best way possible in a while lol
Wow that was hard. I left off BGW (Pantheon + Apollo's), KK (Storm Chaser + Lightning Run), and Holiday World (Voyage + Thunderbird); the other awesome 1-2 punches I've experienced. But we all know the best is Wild Adventures with Boomerang and Twisted Typhoon, which is why it's not included!
I actually really really loved Steel Dragon 2000, it's one of my all time favorite coasters (and my second favorite in Japan after Eejanaika)! It really felt like a supersized B&M hyper and I love those. The sense of speed was amazing and I loved the airtime, which was floater on the large hills and ejector on the small ones during the return run. And it had some insane near misses at that speed! All this while being super smooth. And obviously very long!
I'm visiting Nagshima in a few days, you actually got me excited for the ride haha
@@limes_I I really hope you enjoy it! But I'm aware that I may be in the minority so I hope that I haven't oversold it!
Airtime Thrills truly will never forgive Fiesta Texas for that one day.
@@kryptonaight i think i did esp after my 2022 trip
This is one of the best one to punch his videos ever
I got a bone to pick with omitting Orion from kings island 1 2 punch. It's clearly the best coaster in the park 😎
@@XscreamThrills after riding it again last week i gotta say nahhhh
@@XscreamThrills so valid for that. Orion is awesome.
@@AirtimeThrills I guess it makes sense since you’ve done pretty much every Giga in North America. Even though it may not be the best one, it has a pretty unique layout I’d say
@@AirtimeThrills diamondback is good, but I still prefer Orion over Mystic Timbers
Mystic Timbers > everything else. If there was actually something after the shed, it would be up there with SteVe imo
Great video! I like your ranking of these parks! I enjoyed watching!
I’ve been to SDC a few times, always loved their One-Two. Powder Keg is also worth a a ride or two, but really it’s marathoning OR and TT when there.
Really happy to see Anubis get the recognition it deserves!
Did not expect Six Flags New England to be that high on the list. It’s my home park and I know it’s generally regarded as one of the lesser SF parks overall so to know that Superman and Twisted Cyclone carry hard enough to get it this high is cool to see!
Superman is better then twisted cyclone by a mile
I’ll always have a soft spot for the Goldstriker + Railblazer combo lol
And Chris finally makes a video with coasters he didn't ride
Video idea: Roller coaster that put its park on the map.
Like Aireforce One at Fun Spot America making it a place to visit. Plus, reaching back in history like Racer at Kings Island.
Pretty interesting idea
You know, I love Six Flags New England's one-two punch, they're semi-local to me and they're *my* favorite coasters of the ones I've ridden in the world, but even I doubt they should be ranked above Cedar Point and Hersheypark.
Great video! Glad to see KD at 6
Europapark Voltron + Wodan
7:13 tbh i agree with you bc i havent ridden hagrids but i have ridden hulk and velocicoaster if taaosm (anazing adventures of spiderman) was a roller coaster i wouldve picked it with velocicoaster 😂
I'd also add an honorable mention/possible un-seater of EnergyLandia: EuropaPark with Voltron as one punch and either Blue Fire or Wodan as the second!
Overall, Zadra and Hyperion are absolutely magical, but they're damn near the only 2 good coasters at the park (most of the remaining 17 are kiddie coasters from carnivals). EuropaPark is more well balanced with high quality kiddie coasters, tons of great and intriguing mid-tiers and then some utter mind blowers like Voltron, BF and Wodan 🙂
Coaster studios rn: 😢
Velocicoaster 😍
Incredible Hulk 🤷♂️
@AirtimeThrills You should make a video about the top 10 “Twin” coasters in the world, as in two rides that are presented as the same ride experience with same layout, manufacturer, name, theming, etc, but only two coasters. Some examples; Flight of Fear (KI/KD), Hurler (KD/Carowinds), Superman Ride of Steel (SFDL/SFA), Mr. Freeze (SFSL, SFOT) etc
@@HalfHazzard I'll take a look at this
No way fiesta Texas is just an honorable mention 😭😭
Phantasialand has 3 awesome rides. Black Mamba
YOOOO KINGS DOMINION??
@@Mini_V4yooo what
Also, I rode Ride to Happiness on that Euro Trip ACE just got back from. Holy. Damn. It was wild and beautiful, like all the insanity of X2 without the roughness!
Idea for a countdown video: roller coasters with the best train designs/theming.
How about Parks ranked by their top 5 punches? Itll really show which parks have good depth.
@@CaseFamilyVlogs really just puts the huge parks in play. This at least gives the small parks a shot
Also gotta give respect to DK’s top 2. It’s a decent one two punch
@@jzckvsn yeah on my north america list it cracked it
Happy to see Knotts make the list at 20, I love GhostRider and Xcelerator, very fun rides if the lines are short
ngl if BGT gets that rumored Giga Coaster then it might rise up to top 5 One Two punches, hell maybe top 3
CP is getting underrated these days ngl
Hershey has 2 one two punches, def my favorite park.
How is Wodan x Voltron at Europa Park not on this List?!?!?!
@@AnotherSwissTH-camUser not a lot of people seem to like wodan that much
Personally I've always evaluated Parks by the parks top 3 coasters so i would love to see that list to see how the rankings change or a top 20 1-2 wood/steel list
My fav recebt 1 - 2 punch for parks i recently have visted is dolly wood with Lightning rod and Thunder Head. Helps i love woodies lol
Energylandia has two of my top 5 coasters and Cedar Point has two in my top 10. No doubt those are the two with the best 1-2 punches for me.
This list is light work. Show me the WORST 1-2 punches
Mine would be Phantom’s Revenge and the Thunderbolt.
Video idea: Parks with the worst coaster collection. (Minimum 3)
I don't think you'll be disappointed by Skyrush, the new restraints are much more comfortable.
As always, thank you for fighting for Raging Bull
I'm so lucky to only live 20 minutes away from King's Island. I never knew that my home park had the best B&M hyper and the best GCI woodie in the country. Diamondback and Mystic Timbers are definitely the best coasters in the park.
I LOVE STEEL DRAGON 2000
And Nagashima's top 2 is easily top 10 worthy.
Toutatis + Oziris @ Parc Astérix
Batman Gotham City Escape + Superman Atracción de acero @ Parque Warner Madrid
I think those two are stronger than some of the middle-tier of the list 🤷
6:29 I've been to Hansa Park two times now, it really has to be higher. Its two of the best gerstlauers, Novgorod probably being the vest Eurofighter and Kärnan just being an insane experience. In my opinion the best coaster in Germany easily and possibly the best coaster in Europe.
My favorite 1-2 punch at any park is El Toro and Kingda Ka at Great Adventure.
You should do the worlds worst 1-2 coaster punches
Canada’s Wonderland tops that list!!
@@gravitythrills5414 Thats what I was thinking lol
@@Mononoke18 canadas wonderland shot to front of mind immediately
@@AirtimeThrills Same haha
I could see six flags america and six flags st louis as well
I'm going to Energylandia next monday and tuesday so now i can't wait even more.
Honestly, I'm shocked SFGA didn't make it EL Toro and Kingda ka is an amazing duo one with almost dangerously strong ejector and one that launches you at 128 mph and accelerates down the launch track. Such a good one two punch imo the best one two punch that's just only intiamin rides.
@@LukePompa-ge1yi ka is the questionable one here
The feeling when I realized that I have only ridden the two N.1 coasters out of this list 😳 And the same with Coaster studios… This kind of makes me proud of my home park Energylandia .😍
Good video although seeing that you include international parks you are missing Superman el Ultimo Escape and Medusa Steel Coaster at Six Flags Mexico, the 2 are considered by many enthusiasts to be the best of their kind.
@@TheCoasterCentralOficial i did consider that one, could definitely be on here
I’ve only got 45 credits so far and I’ve only visited 7 parks (I count Disney World as 4) and I can without a doubt say that Steel Vengeance is my absolute favorite. I got 2 rides at night and one in the afternoon and they were all great. Front row, back row, somewhere in the middle. It doesn’t matter. The lines were also 30 minutes max since it broke down so much. That being said, Maverick is fantastic. A little whip-y but the airtime-inversion mix is almost as good as Steel Vengeance’s. The one coaster I despise that everybody seems to love though is Magnum. I don’t know if it was bad ops or the lap bar, but I was so uncomfortable. Those ejector hills really hurt my thighs.
I feel like a saw this video recently on another channel…
Cough cough Coaster Studios
That was with 2 specific manufacturers. Besides AT did the exact same video a couple years back so this is an update
He already made a video like this for NA like 4 years ago, so someone probably copied this format
Energylandia smiling from the notification of this alone
Unpopular opinion. Its Pantheon and Apollo for BGW.
@@patkmulderig apollo just leaves me so underwhelmed
Bro the second shot of skyrush had a phone fly out and i nearly choked on my water when i saw it lmao
superman needs those new skyrush restraints desperately
@@brodyharris9921 that would be amazing and possible, i think
For Busch Gardens, I would choose Iron Gwazi and Kumba. I love Montu, but when I went on Kumba (literally yesterday), the forces were so intense that I grayed out. I’ve only grayed out on two other coasters
Energylandia is definitely the best
Nice to update the 4 year old 1-2 North America punch vid for world wide!
Great video Chris! I would have Islands of Adventure’s Top 2 much higher on my list also probably have Walibi Holland in there as I hear great things about both Goliath and Untamed but I think this list overall is very good. Keep up the great content man
Ride ops at SFMM were dueling Twisted Colossus every ride last week (7/20/24). They said they were told to have them duel and were being judged on it in performance reviews. Maybe the merger is already paying off!
I know it’s a tiny park but Kentucky kingdom better be on here
Once holiday park gets an extreme spinner its almost definitely going to be top 5
I went to Hershey just a few days ago. Gotta say, Candymonium is still king. WR was closed all day (thanks RMC) but I rode it last year so I know what its about. The three Intamins are pretty much equal in my book. Skyrush is super improved with the new restraints but still not an elite coaster.
BGW is weird to me because they have several good rides, but honestly no stand outs. I think I settled on Alpengiest at 1, Griffon at 2, and Pantheon at 3.
My top 5 1-2 punches are probably
5: Hershey, WR and Candymonium
4: Carowinds, Fury and TS
3: BGT, IG and Montu
2: Kennywood, PR and SC (when its open)
1: Kings Dominion, i305 and TT
Candymonium is floater air heaven.
@@donroberts2776 Candymonium and Mako seriously have the best parabolic airtime hills I’ve experienced. Back row feels like you get 9 seconds of airtime on each hill. I just wish they’d turn off the trims on the return trip.
Finally the video I have been waiting for! Also when are you heading to Hershey park? I’m going tomorrow ( July 25th )
Just went there last week
@@AirtimeThrills oh sick! I’m very excited to ride skyrush with the new seats
Just did Japan earlier this month
Hakugei is great, and Steel Dragon was okay.
Fuji Q has a great 1-2 punch but it’s with Fujiyama more than Takabisha
Voyage / Thunderbird is a good honorable too, with arguably the best wooden coaster and US wing
Good video as always tho!
I don't think new England deserves to be that high with the current trains on Superman.
I’d possibly have Parque Warner Madrid in there lower down.
I’m happy to see englands coasters finally being recognised on a global scene
YOU ARE THE BEST TH-camR TO EVER EXIST
I thought you were gonna do the two boomerangs at New England joke this time! But I do have an idea for an unusual coaster measurement.
In skiing, skiers and snowboarders often record how much elevation drop they have done in one day, often called vertical. An example would be the goal at my main ski resort to do 5000 meters (~15000ft) of decent, or 5km vertical. I wonder which roller coaster has the most vertical in its course. This would be done my measuring the height of every drop on the ride (somehow) and adding them all up. My guess for the coaster with the most vertical would be Shambhala, although Top Thrill 2 would come close.
Im confident that if the Twisted Cyclone layout was longer it would be a top 10 RMC as despite its small size it has a great layout
I gotta feel personally attacked my home major park not making the cut (every fan here)
My home park is Michigan's Adventure so I understand completely 😂😂😂
This video just proves that intamin and rmc are the best 1-2 punch deliverers in the industry
I was surprised my home park Kings Island even made this list!
Number one Batman Gotham City Escape and Stuntfall Parque Warner
Nagashima Spa Land got robbed imo. Hakugei is clearly awesome, but Steel Dragon 2000 is no slouch either. Maybe I was just lucky when I visited that the midcourse wasn't hitting too hard, but those final run of airtime hills hit me about as hard as Magnum's did, except with more speed, more hills, and very comfortable B&M Clamshells. Frankly I'd put Nagashima's 1-2 punch in my top 3 globally; certainly far above Fuji-Q. It might even be number 2, behind Energylandia (which you absolutely nailed; it absolutely deserves to be #1).
Also Walibi Holland is... okay. Untamed is pretty good; I'd say on par with Twisted Cyclone. Goliath was a letdown; there were very few truly good airtime moments, a fair bit of filler, and also a noticeable rattle. I probably wouldn't have even given it an honorable mention, tbh.
Definately agree with the #1 pick. I'd pick Hershey as my #2 but I'm a bit of a Skyrush fangirl after having ridden it every week last fall as a scare performer for Dark Nights.
energylandia winning the coaster studios and this one
steel curtain and phantoms revenge at kennywood are a solid pair
