Two corrections from this video about ride closures: 1) Scorpion at Busch Gardens Tampa actually closed on September 9th, 2024. My mistake to say that this ride is still operational. 2) Nighthawk at Carowinds officially closed yesterday, on December 18th, 2024. When I recorded this video, that had not been announced yet, but still worth noting!
FYI, if you want to ride Aftershock at Silverwood, you need to make sure that the weather is good. The optimal time is After Memorial Day weekend and before Labor day weekend. I'm surprised these didn't get some sort of honorable mention, BUT from a commercial standpoint they deserve it. The Corkscrew model from Arrow Dynamics in which 14 models were built. Obviously each model was upgraded with different iterations over time, BUT the layout was all very similar. Also said model started the coaster wars between parks starting in the 1970's and ending in the mid 2000's.
@@MarkJensen-e8d To your first point, I’ll be at Silverwood at the end of May, and beginning of June, so hopefully it’ll be warm enough for that ride to operate!
I agree about Sky Rocket 2- it's an ingenious design that plays well both in terms of the ride experience and the concept's technical strengths. I thought you might categorize GCI small wooden twister coasters as a single category, analogously to the wild mice. They are awesome, but seemingly repetitive. I love the natural angles of their bents, as compared against what appear to be spreadsheet outputs of unnaturally-horizonal / material-suboptimal angled bents on CCI and Gravity Group coasters.

Well, today we found out that another Arrow coaster is being demolished.
Goodbye, Desperado.
Surely Taron/All Speeds and Flash/Hyper Coaster get honourable mentions
Takabisha is an official gerstlauer model (eurofighter 1000)

rip scorpion qwq
what about the Intimin 10 inversion
Light of Revenge is a clone of Cheetah Hunt and I want to ride it so bad.
It’s not an exact clone, it’s more of an improvement. A lot of the elements are profiled differently and it looks so nice.
Light of Revenge feels too different to be a clone
