1:40 that exact same ride was also known as Thunder looper at Alton towers. It went to the UK after kings dominion and was in the massive trench that houses the parks pirate ship today. It was removed because it was too loud and could be heard by locals (imposing a sound limit on the park alongside the pre existing height requirements to keep everything under the tree line) So yeah I would also love to get to Brazil and ride the shuttle loop, it’s had an incredibly varied history.
1:40 Katapul is running really well! Best coaster in the country! The park did a refurbishment where they retracked some of the ride, and now it is running great!
My Bucket List Coasters: 1. Skyrush (unfortunately now with new restraints) 2. Intimidator 305 Never been to the US, will be in the forseeable future. Homepark is Phantasialand, so I won't complain. :)
Sorry you didn't get to ride the original version. It was 80 degrees (26C) at Hersheypark yesterday and now that I've gotten a fully warmed-up ride on it, I honestly think Skyrush was just as good as it was with the old restraints. The laterals are perhaps ever-so-slightly diminished, but everything else about the ride is still top-10-worthy for me. Hope you get out there soon to enjoy it!
@@ryanreed7688 Good to hear that the ride isn't any worse in your opinion. I am very excited about Skyrush, especially since I love Flying Aces. That is such a good coaster!
@@wagennaHershey park has such a good top 3 or possibly even top 5 rides. Skyrush, wildcat’s revenge, Fahrenheit, storm runner, and great bear are all world class. They also have two great classic wooden coasters. I think i rate their coaster lineup above cedar point’s just for the diversity. Hope you enjoy your visit! :)
A night ride on Nemesis Reborn is absolutely stunning! The lighting package, new theming, the mist, new soundtrack, AND, it's running even faster and more intense than before!
Millennium Force was my #1 Bucket List coaster for 15 years, I had seen german(!) documentaries about it and Werner Stengel's work as a 12 year old when it opened, now it's been my #1 coaster for 10. I was expecting it to not be the best coaster ever but so far no other one beat it. Naturally part of that is the magic that was involved in finally visiting this legendary Park and being able to ride this legendary ride in this amazing location.
I feel you, man. I'm from China and I have been wanting to ride Millennium Force for decades before finally getting the chance in 2018. It's been my favorite roller coaster ever since despite "better" rides (I guess) out there like Maverick and Vengeance. Other coasters beat you up with their intensity, but Millennium Force feels like she dances with you and makes you truly happy. I can never stop smiling when I am on that ride. I hope that you can get to Cedar Point soon!
1. Tatsu - watching the construction documentary of it here in Sao Paulo back in the 2000s literally made me fall in love with engineering and since then I became a coaster enthusiast, that's easily the biggest bucket list for me 2. Falcon's Flight 3. TT2 4. Fury 325 5. Ride to Happiness
Honestly, the ONLY great thing that came out of the brief time my family lived in California was FINALLY getting to check off some epic bucket list coasters there and Tatsu was one of them. I can totally understand the hype now, that flying coaster is a glorious beast of fun and I highly recommend it ^^
China really is the final large frontier for enthusiasts. Some of the coasters over there look absolutely world-class. Would be so cool to see someone brave enough to blog about it!
Atmotion436 is a German enthusiast who has done 2 China trips with blogs for each park. I love his vlogs, but if you're not German, I'm not sure you can understand anything
Why would it be considered “brave” to blog about it. Lol people visit China all the time, I think people like you just feed more into unnecessary amount of sinophobic propaganda
As a Chinese person (though I live in NJ now), I am very happy to see some of China's best coasters are mentioned here! Wood Coaster and Python in Bamboo Forest deserve all the hype they are getting because they are truly amazing. If you have done rides like Mystic Timbers and loved it, then you will be sure to love Wood Coaster and Python in Bamboo Forest even more. I personally like Python SLIGHTLY more than Wood Coaster because of its insane length, but that may be because I never rode Wood Coaster with a full train (because Knight Valley is always empty). Starry Sky Ripper feels very different from other B&M flyers for sure, and Dinoconda is probably my favorite roller coaster in China. Also, though it is not a coaster, I still want to recommend Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland Shanghai, which is simply one of my favorite rides of all time. I know China can be pretty hard to get to but if anyone is interested in going I would love to provide all the tips that I can :D
My coaster bucket list: LEAP THE DIPS (I have already been to Altoona, PA twice and missed it both times!), Ride to Happiness, Time Traveler, Intimidator 305, FLY, Hyperion, Toutatis, Velocicoaster, Iron Gwazi, Zadra, Taiga, El Toro, Gotham City Escape, and Untamed. Honestly, my biggest dream is just get to Europe and hit as many parks as possible while there! =) Bucket list coasters that I've ridden: Voyage, Fury 325, Skyrush, Wildcat's Revenge, Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Millennium Force, Lightning Rod (with the launch!), Top Thrill Dragster, Leviathan (SO FUN), Firehawk (at KI), Phantom's Revenge, Cyclone at Coney Island, Skyliner at Lakemont Park (ridden that twice but no LTD!), and Steel Curtain at Kennywood (apparently it's temperamental so we were thrilled when it was actually working when we were there last summer). Hoping to cross off Silver Dollar City (Time Traveler!) this coming summer during my next theme park road trip! =)
The ride that got me back into rollercoasters was when I saw pictures and videos of Steel Dragon 2000. I know you've said that it might be the weakest gigacoaster out there but I don't care: It's big, fast and red! That structure is intimidating and those three perfectly lined up hills are so iconic. So, that was the one that got me to Japan last month. However, my favourite ride in that trip was Pyrenees, which I think you both should put on your bucketlist. It's awesome!
How could I forgot the Corgi coaster! Its litterally the first thing that pops up when I type rcdb in my browser! I have saved it to my browser bookmarks. 😂😂😂
Top Thrill Dragster has been on my bucket list since I was a little kid and when I finally had money to come over from Europe last year, it was closed forever :( knowing that I can never experience that ride ever again breaks my lil coaster heart
My 105 Credit count is very tame, but the ONE credit I have over most Americans is T-Express and I'm so glad I've done it.. but now with the new RMC track, gotta give it a try once again lol. My bucket list coaster at the moment is probably just Fury 325.. or if I want to get more interesting, Ride to Happiness I'd love to experience since I'm a Flying Snake Dive lover on Storm Runner, I want to experience a new one~
Leap the Dips is such a unique and cool experience in todays coasters. And yes it does have some air time which seems crazy but it’s true. And even going from back to front row changes the ride experience a lot. Also Skyliner is a cool classic coaster too! It’s definitely rough at some points but it has some fun air time. It’s still a cool ride. If anyone sees this go out to Lakemont when (or if sadly) the rides reopen. Leap the dips is worth the trip and skyliner is a fun classic coaster as well. It just needs some more love and care the bottom of some of those hills are BRUTAL. But kinda fun still? It’s a weird feeling. I got to go in August 2023 and I’m so glad I did because now who knows what happens to that place and the coasters
Dragon Mountain is so very bucket-listy. It's the perfect combination of a bizarre ride, hard to get to, and could vanish at any moment. I went to Canada's Wonderland last year, and I was going to skip Marine World, but I'm glad that my friends talked me into it, because that's a credit I'm happy to have.
my number one bucket list coaster is easily I305. honourable mentions to Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Kingda Ka, Formula Rossa, Ride To Happiness (getting it next month), Zadra (getting it next month), Hyperion (getting it next month), Voyage and way more
ill admit im doing a coaster trip to europe and ensured I got myself to plopsaland because of how much hype ive heard about it. two months away and im so hype!!!
Wood Coaster is my #1... well wood coaster. It is such an amazing terrain layout that I wish more people would experience now the park and getting to it another story... We took a taxi from Shenzhen and the driver had to call people on how to get there and he still got lost. When you get to the park you gotta climb the side of a mountain going past sbno rides just to get to it hoping its open.
Delighted to hear a couple of UK coasters! The Smiler is an amazing experience, I recommend it so highly for the experience of inverting 14 times in one ride. It also has two amazing airtime hills.
Eejanaika is easily #1 I am an X2 lover so obviously. Rest of my top 5 is Ride to happiness, Helix, Untamed and Hakugei (because it's just so damn pretty)
I have quite a few, but I'd say at the moment my 5 main ones are as follows: 1) Skyrush - Flying Aces has been in my top 5 for nearly 7 years. Considering people say Skyrush is way more intense in it's ejector, that puts it straight up there! 2) Ejanaika - I've been to Japan twice and never made it to Fuji Q, but that thing just looks insane. 3) I305 - I love an intense ride and just have to see if this thing lives up to what people say. 4) Ride to Happiness - I think everything that needs to be said was covered in the video, super unique and really hyped, but I've got to try it before the extreme spinner becomes more widespread. 5) Hakugei - Iron Gwazi is my current #1, and it was a toss up between this and SteVe, but Hakugei just seems more unique. I also think I'm more likely to make it out to Japan than Ohio within the next few years, but you never know! Honorable mentions: T-Express, Helix, Taron & FLY, Voyage, Lighting Rod, Shambhala
I am 37 and had a fear of roller coasters until 2019. I got over my fear and faced it! Now I love coasters! I’ve ridden 103 roller coasters and only been to ones in the us. Bucket list ones that I haven’t ridden yet that I want to ride are : 1) Maverick 2) Time Traveler 3) Lighting Run 4) The Voyage 5) El Toro! I’ve had a blessing of riding VELOCICOASTER and iron GWAZI!
Leap-the-Dips is a huge bucket list coaster for me, too. But whenever I actually make plans to do it, the park closes down the coaster entirely. Hope I will still get my chance.
Europe and Japan in general lol. Ever since I was a kid on the original RCT, Alton Towers has been on my bucket list-so I'd love to at least just do a UK/England trip someday, even ignoring the other European mega-locations like Phantasialand/Europa Park/Energylandia etc That said, 100% Ride to Happiness as my biggest bucket list coaster right now. Time Traveller is my current #1 without any real competition for how unique and fun it is, so I'd love to experience they hype that is Time Traveller 2.0
@@JiggingtonSawface Partially blame RCT and John Wardley's legacy, but its never been afraid to inovate with things like the world's first dive coaster, modern flyer, drop track, and highest inversion count. Plus the castle setting and exploratory nature make the park beautiful and they seem to have a handful of amazing non-coaster attractions...
This was fun! There’s so many to choose from, but I picked Fury 325 as, like you say, it’s one pretty much all enthusiasts want to get on, before some of the maybe more obscure ones.
Well mines was Kingda Ka but yeah about that. So basically its a style now. I need to ride a wing coaster, a drop coaster, a hybrid. a giga coaster and a coaster with a top hat.
I think Katapul was also at Alton Towers as Thunder Looper. I remember seeing it running there in the 90s on a school trip but was too scared to ride it back then.
I would say these are the Top 10 Bucket List Coasters: Hakugei Eejanaika T Express Zadra- Will ride in July Wildfire (Kolmarden) Taiga Gotham City Escape Hyperion- Will Ride in July Hyperia DC Rivals Coaster in Vancouver is probably the biggest bucket list coast in North America for me and Cyclone at Luna Park is my biggest bucket list coaster left in the US.
I always want to ride unique coasters, usually because it's a rare model or in a unique location. I was happy when I got to ride Thunder Dolphin and cross it off my list, but was sad when The Ultimate closed before I could ride it. Sometimes the stats aren't the most important, and you just want to ride something interesting. Now, my top 3 bucket list rides would have to be Tornado at Sarkanniemi, Anaconda at Gold Reef City, and Wood Coaster at Knight Valley.
One ride I was able to knock off my list recently was the Cyclone at Coney Island. Skipped the Volare (for obvious reasons) and the kiddie rides, but I made sure I got to ride on the original. Also Olympia Looping, which I caught up with in London a few years ago - it's not often you can ride a Schwarzkopf with five inversions that also happened to be in pieces on a bunch of trucks just a few weeks prior.
I live in the Netherlands and some of these bucketlist coasters are impossible for me to ride. But here are my top 25 bucketlist coasters i want to ride so much. 25: Taron at Phantasialand. 24: Hyperion at energylandia. 23: helix at liseberg. 22: taiga at linnanmaki. 21: toutatis at parc Asterix. 20: untamed at Walibi Holland. 19 tie: expedition geforce at holiday park and Goliath at Walibi Holland. 18: hakugei at nagashima spa land. 17: intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion. 16: Shambhala at Port avontura. 15: Arie force one at fun spot Atlanta. 14: hyperia at Thorpe park. 13: kondaa at Walibi Belgium. 12: dc rivals at Warner Bros Movie world. 11 another tie: wildcat's revenge and skyrush at hersheypark. 10: voyage at holiday world. 9: el toro at six flags great adventure. 8: wildfire at komarden. 7: Batman Gotham City escape at Parque Warner Madrid. 6: Fury 325 at carowinds. 5 yet another tie: voltron at Europa Park and ride to happiness at Plopsaland de Panne. 4: zadra at energylandia. 3: steel vengeance at cedar point. 2: velocicoaster at Universal island of adventure. 1: iron gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa.
My top 10 on my bucket list 1. Velocicoaster 2. Steel Vengeance 3. Iron Gwazi 4. FLY 5. Ride to Happiness 6. Gotham City escape 7. Taron 8. Kondaa 9. Eejanaika 10. Voltron If all goes according to plan I should visit Phantasialand and Europa park within the next 2 months and ride to happiness this summer , so that’s 4 of em checked off hopefully.
My bucket list coaster is actually in my second hometown and that is Dueling Dragons at Sunac Park Guangzhou in Guangzhou China. We live about an hour by bus from it and the last time I was in Guangzhou the park was still being built. Due to covid restrictions I have not been back home, hopefully soon I will be back to ride it.
From the UK here and I've just this past week done the Florida trip, Iron Gwazi and VelociCoaster (probably my favorite of the two) blew everything here out of the water, did not disappoint! Both fantastic rides along with Mako, Kumba, Montu and Hagrid's
My bucket list: 5. AplenFury - my only hot take of the list, but I really like Premier (Even my first Skyrocket II blew my expectations away) and this looks like Premier at their very best. 4. Eejanaika - my biggest takeaway from X2 was "I want to ride this but more modern and smoother". 3. Velocicoaster - Don't have much to say about this one it just looks good 2. Steel Vengeance - With Twisted Colossus being my number 1 I want to see what all the hype is about (Also I get to go to Cedar Point) 1. Fury 325 - besides the obvious universal praise, the ride is so captivating to me, it looks so cool and the shape and color scheme are so majestic.
How cool of you to mention Hopi Hari. Nowadays "Superman" is called "Katapul" and has new colors. Pink and green in pastel tones. If you can, come to Brazil and visit the park, for you it's a cheap trip and São Paulo is an incredible megalopolis. In addition to the fact that next to Hopi Hari there is a super cool Wet'n Wild too! Plan this trip for 2025/26, the park will be better with more attractions and better maintained. It has gone through many financial difficulties throughout its history and is now recovering beautifully. Brazil is not for amateur entrepreneurs hahaha.. Come, I think you'll love it. 🇧🇷
I agree with Taylor about Millennium Force. It was a bucket list coaster for me before I rode it because it was such a big deal when I was a kid. When I finally got to go, it was like checking off something I wanted to do since before I was tall enough to ride coasters
1:42 I’m the same way, I want to ride the shuttle loop when it opens at fantasy island in New York because it’s the laser loop. My dad grew up riding it and he used to film for kennywood so he’d ride it backwards to film commercials too and since it’s such a historical ride for my home park I really want to ride it
I had a choice this summer to choose between my two of my bucket list coasters steel vengeance or sky rush I'm a big fan of I305 so ultimately I choose sky rush also get to knock out wildcats revenge and candymonium
Hey Coaster Studios, could you please do a ranking of endangered rides (potential upcoming closure)? That would be a really interesting topic for a video !
Literally rode Roaring Timbers yesterday! It’s a part of a water park interestingly enough. You can only get there by a cable car from the mainland Phu Quoc (Sunset town). It’s a nice 15-min ride. For the roller coaster itself, unfortunately I think it’s one of a rougher and weaker GCIs considering it’s only 2 years old. Took 2 back row rides and a middle row ride, all of them were pretty rough and shaky the whole course. First drop was pretty good but it didn’t go anywhere from there. I live in Bangkok where the best roller coaster is Vekoma SLC… so I’d take this GCI woody any time of day!
My top 10 bucket list coasters *as of right now*: 1. Iron Gwazi - Busch Gardens Tampa 2. Eejanaika - Fuji-Q Highland 3. Velocicoaster - Universal Islands Of Adventure 4. Ride To Happiness - Plopsaland 5. Lech Coaster - Lagendia 6. DC Rivals Hypercoaster - Warner Bros Movie World 7. Abyssus - Energylandia 8. Zadra - Energylandia 9. Time Traveler - Silver Dollar City 10. ArieForce One - Fun Spot Atlanta Honorable Mentions: 11. Wildcats Revenge - Hersheypark 12. Fury 325 - Carowinds 13. Gotham City Escape - Warner Bros Madrid 14. Steel Vengeance - Cedar Point 15. I305 - Kings Dominion
two lesser known ones that come to mind for me are these: Euro-Star at Gorky Park in Russia. One of the largest travelling coasters ever built, basically imagine a Batman Clone except it's a travelling coaster (well was travelling) Big Boom at Nasu Highland Park in Japan. It began its life just like any other Meisho shuttle loop. Reverse lift hill, vertical loop, spike, nothing special. However, in 1987 the coaster was turned into a full circuit coaster, with its loop being relocated elsewhere in the layout. RCDB states that its first drop is at a 75° angle. If that's the case, then if you exclude coasters with single-car trains (like Intamin drop towers and Togo ultra twisters), I think that coaster was the steepest coaster in the world for quite a long time! Mainly though, apparently the airtime on that first drop is absolutely unreal
You guys mentioned SO MANY of my bucket list coasters, so I'll go with ones you didn't cover (though absolutely *dying* to ride Steel Vengeance, Velocicoaster, Iron Gwazi, Ride to Happiness, Taiga etc.). I'm British so I have the opposite problem to you guys... the US is soooo massive and has so many coasters and parks that are spread out and hard to do in one trip. In no particular order: Phantom's Revenge (Kennywood) Tatsu (Six Flags Magic Mountain) X2 (Six Flags Magic Mountain) GhostRider (Knott's Berry Farm) Manta (SeaWorld Orlando) Leviathan (Sea World Australia) The Flying Dinosaur (Universal Studios Japan) Vuoristorata (Linnanmäki) I'll try and think of others! I'm glad Wood Coaster is getting more coverage, it absolutely deserves it and it's still hands down my favourite GCI.
As a guy who likes trains, it pains me that I never got to ride the Ultimate at Lightwater Valley. Most people would have wanted to do it for its length, but for me the more important aspect was that it was (mostly) built by British Rail.
The Fury crack happened a month before I went to Carowinds, so that is on my Bucket List. I also got unlucky with Lightning Rod being closed on my visit to Dollywood last year, so of course that is on there as well
Of course the coasters at Gold Reef City, Phantasialand, Trippsdrill, Energylandia, snd all the Denmark/Swedish coasters are a goal. But the ultimate bucket list coaster for me is the Togo Ultratwister at Rusutsu World in Japan since it’s the only one with a dive loop.
My bucket list is to get on an impulse coaster, an Arrow suspended, and a bobsled coaster. I know that sounds easy but when you can't really afford to travel beyond your home park ever, it's daunting. I could hit 2/3 on my dream midwest trip but right now I can't even afford to go to another park in my own state, let alone one 3 states over. It's looking doubtful that getting to Fury or Gwazi or Ka will ever happen.
My top 10 bucket list coasters are… 10. Untamed 9. Gotham City Escape 8. Kondaa 7. Der Schwur Des Kärnan 6. Fury 325 5. Eejanaika 4. Ride to Happiness 3. Zadra 2. Hakugei 1. Taiga The top 4 get switch around a ton!
I think Fluch von Novgorod is pretty much an outstanding ride as Schwur des Kärnan. This is how you make an immersive coaster experience, I love it so much. Next to F.L.Y. I wouldn't want to miss Black Mamba. They heavily themed the ride itself as well as the queue area which is much more enjoyable than most others. It's such a shame F.L.Y. and Taron queue lines didn't receive the same love.
Its funny you should mention the shuttle loop at Hopi Hari because that's a bucket list of mine too when it used to operate as thunderlooper at Alton Towers after it was removed from Kings dominion!
My bucket list: Dragon Run (B&M) Wrath Of Zeus (Vekoma) 👍 Roaring Timber (GCI) 👍 Iron Rattler (RMC) Tron Wdw/SHDL (Vekoma) Steel Eel (D. H. Morgan) 👍 Hyper Space Mountain DLP (Vekoma) I have try wrath of Zeus and Roaring Timber. Both are on same island but Roaring you have to take a cable car and the cable car ticket are including the water park and the unlimited attempt of the coaster. Roaring Timber not really crazy but the layout just looks amazing. I love the way that the first drop is down to the coaster structure with side way banks straight down. I rode it like 3 times then went to the water park and ride 2 times more.
I rid gravity max and it is so smooth Is a bit short thow. The drop feels most like the drop on the giant boomerangs (at least that I’ve ridden) Only runs every 15 minutes and closes early. Be careful if you go. Also shuts down for wind Fun note they give you a card in the station be fore boarding that tells you what to do if the ride breaks down (Broke down after my 4 rides) some people got stuck (if I was on that I would have missed my flight I will probably never ride this again since I live in la
I was itching to go to Energylandia once I got back into coasters and it didnt disappoint. Zadra still sits comfortably at my number 1 spot even after roaming Europe a little more last summer ( I am from Europe). Rides like Untamed, Taron, Kondaa, even Hyperion and yes even Ride to Happiness cant hold a candle to this beast. But on the other hand it kind of killed my itch to ride new coasters a bit since Im so convinced it is perfect.
On our US park trip, last year July we rode quite a few bucketlist coasters. Sadly we missed: Wildcats Revenge (closed for maintenance) and Gatekeeper (downtime) 😫
I completely understand the sentimental bucket list item. I’d love to go ride Bocaraca at Parque Diversiones in Costa Rica. It was my first coaster with an inversion when it was Whirlwind at Knoebels.
I went to seaworld orlando last year and didn't get to ride Mako or pipeline(this was before it was officially opened) and went to Great Adventure this year and did not get to ride Jersey Devil. The fear of Lightning Rod being down is what had been keeping me away from Dollywood also :D
So many of these are also on my bucket list. even though I was one of the many patrons that suggested the Smiler, honestly all of Alton Towers secret weapons are on my bucket list
My bucketlist coaster def is Voltron. Ik it is not open yet but still i am so excited for the opening next week. I already reserved my day for the opening day and i am just so excited to ride it. It looks like a top tier coaster. It has some crazy elements amazing theming at the station and turntable and the overall appereance of this ride is incredible. I am happy to have such an amazing coaster in my homepark. Europapark really needed a better stand out attraction.
As a Danish guy, there is one specific credit, not even that far away, that I've been wanting to get to for years, but just never gotten remotely close to. And thats Wildfire at Kolmården. I've never done an RMC in my whole carreer, and missed out on Untamed at Walibi Holland by like a year. So I've yet to experience their coasters, Its just a shame that the nearest one is so far out of the way at a wildlife park of all places. Though this also reminds me, I haven't visited Liseberg since 2017 so I also gotta get to Liseberg at some point. Probably Finland too since I did visit Linanmaki once, but that was back in 2016, way before Taiga opened and back when they still had a water coaster in its place.
My main bucket list coasters are all RMCs I was either just barely too early to, or missed out on cuz of a closure. Steel Vengeance is number 1 right now, I live in Ohio and I’ve only ever been to Cedar Point one time, which was in 2017 😓 Hakugei is number 2 cuz I’ve ridden White Cyclone the year before it closed, and experienced the worst pain of my life on it period! I feel like riding it would settle things between us 😅 Wildcat’s Revenge is number 3, cuz I went back to Hershey Park after 7 years specifically for this coaster, and it was closed both days I was there! Iron Rattler is a similar case to WCR, but I was only there for 3 hours and it’s been the longest since then, so I’ve kinda gotten over it by now.
for a while, my number one bucket list coaster was verbolten. it was the first coaster i researched as a thoosie, and it was really fulfilling to ride it!! now im a passholder and can ride it whenever i want
I very recently went to Fiesta Texas for the 2nd time ever (my 2nd time at an amusement park) and I got hit with the coaster bug along with some friends. We're thinking of heading up to Pennsylvania in September and wondered if there are any great towns nearish to HersheyPark that we could stay at for about a week.
Iron Gwazi has been near the top of my bucket list since it opened. I was in Florida with my admission ticket ready to go for my first trip to Busch Gardens and I fell ill and wasn't able to go. So sadly, it is still near the top of my bucket list.
7 of them you listed I have checked - on my list Nemesis Reborn and Voltron is written down for this year and lots of US rides for my next trip to your country. Greets from Munich
Taylor: bucket list coasters aren't just the best ones you want to experience, maybe you could have more reasons why you want to ride them. Me after sending my previous message and just hearing that: 💀
China es the trip i have been waiting from you guys for years. Want to see those reviews of python, wood coaster, coaster through the clouds and sky reaper. I thought Shivering timbers would make this list
I think mostly all coasters on my bucketlist are from the US of A...and The Smiler! It's hard to name all rollers but mostly all coasters in this video are on my bucketlist. Some day in the future I might have riden 45% of them all. One of the coasters that is being built and that is fresh on my bucketlist is the coaster that will be added to Gröna Lunds expansion, it will be awsome 😼
For anyone saying something should've been mentioned that wasn't, you can change that by signing up for even the $2/month ($24/year) tier at patreon.com/coasterstudios and give your input on all of these discussion questions so nothing you want to hear is missed! 😉
1:40 that exact same ride was also known as Thunder looper at Alton towers. It went to the UK after kings dominion and was in the massive trench that houses the parks pirate ship today. It was removed because it was too loud and could be heard by locals (imposing a sound limit on the park alongside the pre existing height requirements to keep everything under the tree line)
So yeah I would also love to get to Brazil and ride the shuttle loop, it’s had an incredibly varied history.
I never rode that, but I remember SEEING it run at Kings Dominion back when dinosaurs roamed the earth.
Voyage, Velocicoaster, Iron Gwazi.
1:40 Katapul is running really well! Best coaster in the country! The park did a refurbishment where they retracked some of the ride, and now it is running great!
My Bucket List Coasters: 1. Skyrush (unfortunately now with new restraints) 2. Intimidator 305
Never been to the US, will be in the forseeable future. Homepark is Phantasialand, so I won't complain. :)
Sorry you didn't get to ride the original version. It was 80 degrees (26C) at Hersheypark yesterday and now that I've gotten a fully warmed-up ride on it, I honestly think Skyrush was just as good as it was with the old restraints. The laterals are perhaps ever-so-slightly diminished, but everything else about the ride is still top-10-worthy for me. Hope you get out there soon to enjoy it!
@@ryanreed7688 Good to hear that the ride isn't any worse in your opinion. I am very excited about Skyrush, especially since I love Flying Aces. That is such a good coaster!
@@wagennaHershey park has such a good top 3 or possibly even top 5 rides. Skyrush, wildcat’s revenge, Fahrenheit, storm runner, and great bear are all world class. They also have two great classic wooden coasters. I think i rate their coaster lineup above cedar point’s just for the diversity. Hope you enjoy your visit! :)
Unfortunately?
@@CoasterWolf84 Yes, I would have loved to experience the old restraints in all their roughness.
A night ride on Nemesis Reborn is absolutely stunning! The lighting package, new theming, the mist, new soundtrack, AND, it's running even faster and more intense than before!
Millennium Force was my #1 Bucket List coaster for 15 years, I had seen german(!) documentaries about it and Werner Stengel's work as a 12 year old when it opened, now it's been my #1 coaster for 10. I was expecting it to not be the best coaster ever but so far no other one beat it. Naturally part of that is the magic that was involved in finally visiting this legendary Park and being able to ride this legendary ride in this amazing location.
Umm.... Maverick, and Steel Vengeance can be found in that same park.
I feel you, man. I'm from China and I have been wanting to ride Millennium Force for decades before finally getting the chance in 2018. It's been my favorite roller coaster ever since despite "better" rides (I guess) out there like Maverick and Vengeance. Other coasters beat you up with their intensity, but Millennium Force feels like she dances with you and makes you truly happy. I can never stop smiling when I am on that ride. I hope that you can get to Cedar Point soon!
@@Spike-sk7ql they probably werent there when he visited bruh
@@laxris6563 Thoosies be hittin that "erhm acktshually-" real hard when someone has a different opinion than them lmao
@@allieg.5143 anyways nice rage bait, i wasnt even judging or talking about smuella opinion dummy.
1. Tatsu - watching the construction documentary of it here in Sao Paulo back in the 2000s literally made me fall in love with engineering and since then I became a coaster enthusiast, that's easily the biggest bucket list for me
2. Falcon's Flight
3. TT2
4. Fury 325
5. Ride to Happiness
Honestly, the ONLY great thing that came out of the brief time my family lived in California was FINALLY getting to check off some epic bucket list coasters there and Tatsu was one of them. I can totally understand the hype now, that flying coaster is a glorious beast of fun and I highly recommend it ^^
Tatsu is INSANE I greyed out both times in the pretzel loop, I've never felt like a rollercoaster is trying to kill me as much
The ride to happiness, untamed, and toutatis are my top 3 coasters in the world!
where are you from ? i must only do the asterix parc and europapark this year :-)
Thanks for promoting international travel. You're indirectly broadening the world-view of many coaster enthusiasts around the world.
5:24 yep! whenever someone asks “where in Europe do you want to go?” I respond “Belgium, so I can ride Ride To Happiness!”
China really is the final large frontier for enthusiasts. Some of the coasters over there look absolutely world-class. Would be so cool to see someone brave enough to blog about it!
Atmotion436 is a German enthusiast who has done 2 China trips with blogs for each park. I love his vlogs, but if you're not German, I'm not sure you can understand anything
Why would it be considered “brave” to blog about it. Lol people visit China all the time, I think people like you just feed more into unnecessary amount of sinophobic propaganda
Or theme park review
i still have to do half of the states and japan but iis on the list to visit probable over 6 years from now........
Wouldn’t do China - safety!
As a Chinese person (though I live in NJ now), I am very happy to see some of China's best coasters are mentioned here! Wood Coaster and Python in Bamboo Forest deserve all the hype they are getting because they are truly amazing. If you have done rides like Mystic Timbers and loved it, then you will be sure to love Wood Coaster and Python in Bamboo Forest even more. I personally like Python SLIGHTLY more than Wood Coaster because of its insane length, but that may be because I never rode Wood Coaster with a full train (because Knight Valley is always empty). Starry Sky Ripper feels very different from other B&M flyers for sure, and Dinoconda is probably my favorite roller coaster in China. Also, though it is not a coaster, I still want to recommend Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland Shanghai, which is simply one of my favorite rides of all time.
I know China can be pretty hard to get to but if anyone is interested in going I would love to provide all the tips that I can :D
My coaster bucket list: LEAP THE DIPS (I have already been to Altoona, PA twice and missed it both times!), Ride to Happiness, Time Traveler, Intimidator 305, FLY, Hyperion, Toutatis, Velocicoaster, Iron Gwazi, Zadra, Taiga, El Toro, Gotham City Escape, and Untamed. Honestly, my biggest dream is just get to Europe and hit as many parks as possible while there! =)
Bucket list coasters that I've ridden: Voyage, Fury 325, Skyrush, Wildcat's Revenge, Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Millennium Force, Lightning Rod (with the launch!), Top Thrill Dragster, Leviathan (SO FUN), Firehawk (at KI), Phantom's Revenge, Cyclone at Coney Island, Skyliner at Lakemont Park (ridden that twice but no LTD!), and Steel Curtain at Kennywood (apparently it's temperamental so we were thrilled when it was actually working when we were there last summer). Hoping to cross off Silver Dollar City (Time Traveler!) this coming summer during my next theme park road trip! =)
The ride that got me back into rollercoasters was when I saw pictures and videos of Steel Dragon 2000. I know you've said that it might be the weakest gigacoaster out there but I don't care: It's big, fast and red! That structure is intimidating and those three perfectly lined up hills are so iconic. So, that was the one that got me to Japan last month. However, my favourite ride in that trip was Pyrenees, which I think you both should put on your bucketlist. It's awesome!
How could I forgot the Corgi coaster! Its litterally the first thing that pops up when I type rcdb in my browser! I have saved it to my browser bookmarks. 😂😂😂
Night Rides on Time Travler, Outlaw Run, Boss, and Screaming Eagle were on my bucket list last year
Some of the most fun I've ever had..
my top 5 bucket list is the voyage, iron gwazi, kondaa, ride to happiness, and wood coaster
1. Ride To Happiness
2. Velocicoaster
3. Iron Gwazi
4. F.L.Y
5. Untamed
6. Wildfire
7. DC Rivals
8. Hyperia
9. Steel Vengeance
10. Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster (just because why the hell not)
Top Thrill Dragster has been on my bucket list since I was a little kid and when I finally had money to come over from Europe last year, it was closed forever :( knowing that I can never experience that ride ever again breaks my lil coaster heart
My 105 Credit count is very tame, but the ONE credit I have over most Americans is T-Express and I'm so glad I've done it.. but now with the new RMC track, gotta give it a try once again lol.
My bucket list coaster at the moment is probably just Fury 325.. or if I want to get more interesting, Ride to Happiness I'd love to experience since I'm a Flying Snake Dive lover on Storm Runner, I want to experience a new one~
Leap the Dips is such a unique and cool experience in todays coasters. And yes it does have some air time which seems crazy but it’s true. And even going from back to front row changes the ride experience a lot. Also Skyliner is a cool classic coaster too! It’s definitely rough at some points but it has some fun air time. It’s still a cool ride. If anyone sees this go out to Lakemont when (or if sadly) the rides reopen. Leap the dips is worth the trip and skyliner is a fun classic coaster as well. It just needs some more love and care the bottom of some of those hills are BRUTAL. But kinda fun still? It’s a weird feeling. I got to go in August 2023 and I’m so glad I did because now who knows what happens to that place and the coasters
You guys should do a video ranking the parks with the best coaster collections!
Yo that’s a good idea
Dragon Mountain is so very bucket-listy. It's the perfect combination of a bizarre ride, hard to get to, and could vanish at any moment. I went to Canada's Wonderland last year, and I was going to skip Marine World, but I'm glad that my friends talked me into it, because that's a credit I'm happy to have.
my number one bucket list coaster is easily I305. honourable mentions to Steel Vengeance, Maverick, Kingda Ka, Formula Rossa, Ride To Happiness (getting it next month), Zadra (getting it next month), Hyperion (getting it next month), Voyage and way more
ill admit im doing a coaster trip to europe and ensured I got myself to plopsaland because of how much hype ive heard about it. two months away and im so hype!!!
Wood Coaster at Knight Valley in China looks incredible. Strongest GCI layout out there and overlooked by most enthusiasts
Wood coaster looks so insane, however with the park not being in the best shape how it rides will be a mystery
Wood Coaster is my #1... well wood coaster. It is such an amazing terrain layout that I wish more people would experience now the park and getting to it another story... We took a taxi from Shenzhen and the driver had to call people on how to get there and he still got lost. When you get to the park you gotta climb the side of a mountain going past sbno rides just to get to it hoping its open.
Delighted to hear a couple of UK coasters! The Smiler is an amazing experience, I recommend it so highly for the experience of inverting 14 times in one ride. It also has two amazing airtime hills.
Eejanaika is easily #1 I am an X2 lover so obviously. Rest of my top 5 is Ride to happiness, Helix, Untamed and Hakugei (because it's just so damn pretty)
I have quite a few, but I'd say at the moment my 5 main ones are as follows:
1) Skyrush - Flying Aces has been in my top 5 for nearly 7 years. Considering people say Skyrush is way more intense in it's ejector, that puts it straight up there!
2) Ejanaika - I've been to Japan twice and never made it to Fuji Q, but that thing just looks insane.
3) I305 - I love an intense ride and just have to see if this thing lives up to what people say.
4) Ride to Happiness - I think everything that needs to be said was covered in the video, super unique and really hyped, but I've got to try it before the extreme spinner becomes more widespread.
5) Hakugei - Iron Gwazi is my current #1, and it was a toss up between this and SteVe, but Hakugei just seems more unique. I also think I'm more likely to make it out to Japan than Ohio within the next few years, but you never know!
Honorable mentions: T-Express, Helix, Taron & FLY, Voyage, Lighting Rod, Shambhala
I am 37 and had a fear of roller coasters until 2019. I got over my fear and faced it! Now I love coasters! I’ve ridden 103 roller coasters and only been to ones in the us. Bucket list ones that I haven’t ridden yet that I want to ride are : 1) Maverick 2) Time Traveler 3) Lighting Run 4) The Voyage 5) El Toro! I’ve had a blessing of riding VELOCICOASTER and iron GWAZI!
Leap-the-Dips is a huge bucket list coaster for me, too. But whenever I actually make plans to do it, the park closes down the coaster entirely. Hope I will still get my chance.
Same. I've had a road trip planned for May since the Fall and Lakemont was a top priority stop until they announced the rides won't open this year.
Also with the intamin RMC train, Hersheypark and Kings dominion, people rave about those top twos also.
Europe and Japan in general lol. Ever since I was a kid on the original RCT, Alton Towers has been on my bucket list-so I'd love to at least just do a UK/England trip someday, even ignoring the other European mega-locations like Phantasialand/Europa Park/Energylandia etc
That said, 100% Ride to Happiness as my biggest bucket list coaster right now. Time Traveller is my current #1 without any real competition for how unique and fun it is, so I'd love to experience they hype that is Time Traveller 2.0
why alton towers in specific
@@JiggingtonSawface Partially blame RCT and John Wardley's legacy, but its never been afraid to inovate with things like the world's first dive coaster, modern flyer, drop track, and highest inversion count. Plus the castle setting and exploratory nature make the park beautiful and they seem to have a handful of amazing non-coaster attractions...
@@ReonSkyridge im assuming england is your top bucket list country for coasters
@@JiggingtonSawface that or maybe France for a stand alone country, but there are plenty of European areas I'd love to visit!
This was fun! There’s so many to choose from, but I picked Fury 325 as, like you say, it’s one pretty much all enthusiasts want to get on, before some of the maybe more obscure ones.
Well mines was Kingda Ka but yeah about that. So basically its a style now. I need to ride a wing coaster, a drop coaster, a hybrid. a giga coaster and a coaster with a top hat.
LONG LIVE THE KING :(
I think Katapul was also at Alton Towers as Thunder Looper. I remember seeing it running there in the 90s on a school trip but was too scared to ride it back then.
Yes, that ride had a couple of homes. Fortunately that good old Schwarzkopf found a forever home in Brazil many years ago.
I would say these are the Top 10 Bucket List Coasters:
Hakugei
Eejanaika
T Express
Zadra- Will ride in July
Wildfire (Kolmarden)
Taiga
Gotham City Escape
Hyperion- Will Ride in July
Hyperia
DC Rivals
Coaster in Vancouver is probably the biggest bucket list coast in North America for me and Cyclone at Luna Park is my biggest bucket list coaster left in the US.
I always want to ride unique coasters, usually because it's a rare model or in a unique location. I was happy when I got to ride Thunder Dolphin and cross it off my list, but was sad when The Ultimate closed before I could ride it. Sometimes the stats aren't the most important, and you just want to ride something interesting.
Now, my top 3 bucket list rides would have to be Tornado at Sarkanniemi, Anaconda at Gold Reef City, and Wood Coaster at Knight Valley.
One ride I was able to knock off my list recently was the Cyclone at Coney Island. Skipped the Volare (for obvious reasons) and the kiddie rides, but I made sure I got to ride on the original. Also Olympia Looping, which I caught up with in London a few years ago - it's not often you can ride a Schwarzkopf with five inversions that also happened to be in pieces on a bunch of trucks just a few weeks prior.
Montana Suiza at Parque de Atracciones Monte Igueldo, Spain. 96yrs old, operates with a brakeman, thru (well, behind the houses) a neighborhood.
that ride looks awesome! such a cool location
I live in the Netherlands and some of these bucketlist coasters are impossible for me to ride. But here are my top 25 bucketlist coasters i want to ride so much.
25: Taron at Phantasialand.
24: Hyperion at energylandia.
23: helix at liseberg.
22: taiga at linnanmaki.
21: toutatis at parc Asterix.
20: untamed at Walibi Holland.
19 tie: expedition geforce at holiday park and Goliath at Walibi Holland.
18: hakugei at nagashima spa land.
17: intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion.
16: Shambhala at Port avontura.
15: Arie force one at fun spot Atlanta.
14: hyperia at Thorpe park.
13: kondaa at Walibi Belgium.
12: dc rivals at Warner Bros Movie world.
11 another tie: wildcat's revenge and skyrush at hersheypark.
10: voyage at holiday world.
9: el toro at six flags great adventure.
8: wildfire at komarden.
7: Batman Gotham City escape at Parque Warner Madrid.
6: Fury 325 at carowinds.
5 yet another tie: voltron at Europa Park and ride to happiness at Plopsaland de Panne.
4: zadra at energylandia.
3: steel vengeance at cedar point.
2: velocicoaster at Universal island of adventure.
1: iron gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa.
My top 10 on my bucket list
1. Velocicoaster
2. Steel Vengeance
3. Iron Gwazi
4. FLY
5. Ride to Happiness
6. Gotham City escape
7. Taron
8. Kondaa
9. Eejanaika
10. Voltron
If all goes according to plan I should visit Phantasialand and Europa park within the next 2 months and ride to happiness this summer , so that’s 4 of em checked off hopefully.
My bucket list coaster is actually in my second hometown and that is Dueling Dragons at Sunac Park Guangzhou in Guangzhou China. We live about an hour by bus from it and the last time I was in Guangzhou the park was still being built. Due to covid restrictions I have not been back home, hopefully soon I will be back to ride it.
From the UK here and I've just this past week done the Florida trip, Iron Gwazi and VelociCoaster (probably my favorite of the two) blew everything here out of the water, did not disappoint! Both fantastic rides along with Mako, Kumba, Montu and Hagrid's
My bucket list:
5. AplenFury - my only hot take of the list, but I really like Premier (Even my first Skyrocket II blew my expectations away) and this looks like Premier at their very best.
4. Eejanaika - my biggest takeaway from X2 was "I want to ride this but more modern and smoother".
3. Velocicoaster - Don't have much to say about this one it just looks good
2. Steel Vengeance - With Twisted Colossus being my number 1 I want to see what all the hype is about (Also I get to go to Cedar Point)
1. Fury 325 - besides the obvious universal praise, the ride is so captivating to me, it looks so cool and the shape and color scheme are so majestic.
How cool of you to mention Hopi Hari. Nowadays "Superman" is called "Katapul" and has new colors. Pink and green in pastel tones. If you can, come to Brazil and visit the park, for you it's a cheap trip and São Paulo is an incredible megalopolis. In addition to the fact that next to Hopi Hari there is a super cool Wet'n Wild too! Plan this trip for 2025/26, the park will be better with more attractions and better maintained. It has gone through many financial difficulties throughout its history and is now recovering beautifully. Brazil is not for amateur entrepreneurs hahaha.. Come, I think you'll love it. 🇧🇷
I agree with Taylor about Millennium Force. It was a bucket list coaster for me before I rode it because it was such a big deal when I was a kid. When I finally got to go, it was like checking off something I wanted to do since before I was tall enough to ride coasters
I went on Velocicoaster when it was only open of 1 month and it was GLOSSY smooth. Absolutely a bucket list ride
As an EDM fan, Speed of Sound and Ride To Happiness are high on my bucket list. I also happen to prefer speed and inversions over airtime
1:42 I’m the same way, I want to ride the shuttle loop when it opens at fantasy island in New York because it’s the laser loop. My dad grew up riding it and he used to film for kennywood so he’d ride it backwards to film commercials too and since it’s such a historical ride for my home park I really want to ride it
I had a choice this summer to choose between my two of my bucket list coasters steel vengeance or sky rush I'm a big fan of I305 so ultimately I choose sky rush also get to knock out wildcats revenge and candymonium
Love our Patreon family!
Hey Coaster Studios, could you please do a ranking of endangered rides (potential upcoming closure)? That would be a really interesting topic for a video !
Literally rode Roaring Timbers yesterday! It’s a part of a water park interestingly enough. You can only get there by a cable car from the mainland Phu Quoc (Sunset town). It’s a nice 15-min ride. For the roller coaster itself, unfortunately I think it’s one of a rougher and weaker GCIs considering it’s only 2 years old. Took 2 back row rides and a middle row ride, all of them were pretty rough and shaky the whole course. First drop was pretty good but it didn’t go anywhere from there. I live in Bangkok where the best roller coaster is Vekoma SLC… so I’d take this GCI woody any time of day!
you're the first person I've heard give a review on Roaring Timbers! Thanks for sharing!
@@CoasterStudios happy to give a review/rant on VinWonders theme park as well 🤣
My biggest bucket list coaster is Expedition GeForce it looks like it could make my top 5 if its better than El toro
It’s a fantastic ride. I feel so lucky to have been on it shortly after they built it. The station didn’t even have a covering yet.
My top 10 bucket list coasters *as of right now*:
1. Iron Gwazi - Busch Gardens Tampa
2. Eejanaika - Fuji-Q Highland
3. Velocicoaster - Universal Islands Of Adventure
4. Ride To Happiness - Plopsaland
5. Lech Coaster - Lagendia
6. DC Rivals Hypercoaster - Warner Bros Movie World
7. Abyssus - Energylandia
8. Zadra - Energylandia
9. Time Traveler - Silver Dollar City
10. ArieForce One - Fun Spot Atlanta
Honorable Mentions:
11. Wildcats Revenge - Hersheypark
12. Fury 325 - Carowinds
13. Gotham City Escape - Warner Bros Madrid
14. Steel Vengeance - Cedar Point
15. I305 - Kings Dominion
two lesser known ones that come to mind for me are these:
Euro-Star at Gorky Park in Russia. One of the largest travelling coasters ever built, basically imagine a Batman Clone except it's a travelling coaster (well was travelling)
Big Boom at Nasu Highland Park in Japan. It began its life just like any other Meisho shuttle loop. Reverse lift hill, vertical loop, spike, nothing special. However, in 1987 the coaster was turned into a full circuit coaster, with its loop being relocated elsewhere in the layout. RCDB states that its first drop is at a 75° angle. If that's the case, then if you exclude coasters with single-car trains (like Intamin drop towers and Togo ultra twisters), I think that coaster was the steepest coaster in the world for quite a long time! Mainly though, apparently the airtime on that first drop is absolutely unreal
Big Boom is an AWESOME ride and is definitely worthy of being on your bucket list! We have heard of Euro-Star, super interesting ride!
You guys mentioned SO MANY of my bucket list coasters, so I'll go with ones you didn't cover (though absolutely *dying* to ride Steel Vengeance, Velocicoaster, Iron Gwazi, Ride to Happiness, Taiga etc.). I'm British so I have the opposite problem to you guys... the US is soooo massive and has so many coasters and parks that are spread out and hard to do in one trip.
In no particular order:
Phantom's Revenge (Kennywood)
Tatsu (Six Flags Magic Mountain)
X2 (Six Flags Magic Mountain)
GhostRider (Knott's Berry Farm)
Manta (SeaWorld Orlando)
Leviathan (Sea World Australia)
The Flying Dinosaur (Universal Studios Japan)
Vuoristorata (Linnanmäki)
I'll try and think of others! I'm glad Wood Coaster is getting more coverage, it absolutely deserves it and it's still hands down my favourite GCI.
As a guy who likes trains, it pains me that I never got to ride the Ultimate at Lightwater Valley. Most people would have wanted to do it for its length, but for me the more important aspect was that it was (mostly) built by British Rail.
One of my bucket list items is seeing Taylor in a Vekoma shirt! Thanks!
The Fury crack happened a month before I went to Carowinds, so that is on my Bucket List. I also got unlucky with Lightning Rod being closed on my visit to Dollywood last year, so of course that is on there as well
Flying Aces.
Flying Aces.
Flying Aces.
Looks... wow
It is! The wing seat is wild.
For me it’s Desperado. There’s just something so cool to me about a former world’s tallest coaster being in the middle of nowhere in a desert.
Of course the coasters at Gold Reef City, Phantasialand, Trippsdrill, Energylandia, snd all the Denmark/Swedish coasters are a goal. But the ultimate bucket list coaster for me is the Togo Ultratwister at Rusutsu World in Japan since it’s the only one with a dive loop.
My bucket list is to get on an impulse coaster, an Arrow suspended, and a bobsled coaster. I know that sounds easy but when you can't really afford to travel beyond your home park ever, it's daunting. I could hit 2/3 on my dream midwest trip but right now I can't even afford to go to another park in my own state, let alone one 3 states over. It's looking doubtful that getting to Fury or Gwazi or Ka will ever happen.
Oh my ❤ Thank you so much for sharing my story! I will be back to Cedar Point in 2025… with a vengeance!
WE ARE ALL ROOTING FOR YOU!! 🤩👊🏼
My top 10 bucket list coasters are…
10. Untamed
9. Gotham City Escape
8. Kondaa
7. Der Schwur Des Kärnan
6. Fury 325
5. Eejanaika
4. Ride to Happiness
3. Zadra
2. Hakugei
1. Taiga
The top 4 get switch around a ton!
Do-dodonpa will forever by my bucket list coaster as I never got to ride it when I visited FujiQ.
Lightning Rod has been on my bucket list for so long that it's not even the same ride anymore. At least from what I've heard
I think Fluch von Novgorod is pretty much an outstanding ride as Schwur des Kärnan. This is how you make an immersive coaster experience, I love it so much.
Next to F.L.Y. I wouldn't want to miss Black Mamba. They heavily themed the ride itself as well as the queue area which is much more enjoyable than most others. It's such a shame F.L.Y. and Taron queue lines didn't receive the same love.
Nice video! I enjoyed watching! I'd like to ride Zadra.
For a lot of people, Rodelbaan in De Waarbeek, The Netherlands is a bucke list coaster. Because it is a steel coaster that opened in 1930.
Its funny you should mention the shuttle loop at Hopi Hari because that's a bucket list of mine too when it used to operate as thunderlooper at Alton Towers after it was removed from Kings dominion!
My bucket list:
Dragon Run (B&M)
Wrath Of Zeus (Vekoma) 👍
Roaring Timber (GCI) 👍
Iron Rattler (RMC)
Tron Wdw/SHDL (Vekoma)
Steel Eel (D. H. Morgan) 👍
Hyper Space Mountain DLP (Vekoma)
I have try wrath of Zeus and Roaring Timber. Both are on same island but Roaring you have to take a cable car and the cable car ticket are including the water park and the unlimited attempt of the coaster. Roaring Timber not really crazy but the layout just looks amazing. I love the way that the first drop is down to the coaster structure with side way banks straight down.
I rode it like 3 times then went to the water park and ride 2 times more.
Luckily i got on thunderlooper when it was at alton towers. Rode it 16 times on my 16th birthday. 31 years ago!
I rid gravity max and it is so smooth
Is a bit short thow. The drop feels most like the drop on the giant boomerangs (at least that I’ve ridden)
Only runs every 15 minutes and closes early. Be careful if you go. Also shuts down for wind
Fun note they give you a card in the station be fore boarding that tells you what to do if the ride breaks down
(Broke down after my 4 rides) some people got stuck (if I was on that I would have missed my flight
I will probably never ride this again since I live in la
I was itching to go to Energylandia once I got back into coasters and it didnt disappoint. Zadra still sits comfortably at my number 1 spot even after roaming Europe a little more last summer ( I am from Europe). Rides like Untamed, Taron, Kondaa, even Hyperion and yes even Ride to Happiness cant hold a candle to this beast. But on the other hand it kind of killed my itch to ride new coasters a bit since Im so convinced it is perfect.
Leap the Dips is one of mine too. The last time I was in the area it was one week before they opened the rides. Now its not running this year😢
On our US park trip, last year July we rode quite a few bucketlist coasters. Sadly we missed: Wildcats Revenge (closed for maintenance) and Gatekeeper (downtime) 😫
Some of my bucket list coasters are Formula Rossa, Eejanaika, Phantom's Revenge, Smiler, Nemesis Reborn, Shambhala, & Ride To Happiness
Intimidator 305, el toro, Montu, still haven’t been to most us parks
I completely understand the sentimental bucket list item. I’d love to go ride Bocaraca at Parque Diversiones in Costa Rica. It was my first coaster with an inversion when it was Whirlwind at Knoebels.
I went to seaworld orlando last year and didn't get to ride Mako or pipeline(this was before it was officially opened) and went to Great Adventure this year and did not get to ride Jersey Devil. The fear of Lightning Rod being down is what had been keeping me away from Dollywood also :D
T express is so much fun! The airtime had me cackling like a maniac when I visited South Korea. And funny enough, I’ve never even ridden El Toro
One that wasn’t mentioned is Battlestar galactica at universal studios Singapore, I wanna go there because of the coaster and the location
thats a very cool looking one!
So many of these are also on my bucket list. even though I was one of the many patrons that suggested the Smiler, honestly all of Alton Towers secret weapons are on my bucket list
Ride To Happiness, the voyage, Mystic Timbers, velocicoaster, el toro, and iron gwazi are my big Bucketlist ones
My bucketlist coaster def is Voltron. Ik it is not open yet but still i am so excited for the opening next week. I already reserved my day for the opening day and i am just so excited to ride it. It looks like a top tier coaster. It has some crazy elements amazing theming at the station and turntable and the overall appereance of this ride is incredible. I am happy to have such an amazing coaster in my homepark. Europapark really needed a better stand out attraction.
Viper at Magic Mountain is definitely one of my big bucketlist rides I need to get on!
As a Danish guy, there is one specific credit, not even that far away, that I've been wanting to get to for years, but just never gotten remotely close to. And thats Wildfire at Kolmården. I've never done an RMC in my whole carreer, and missed out on Untamed at Walibi Holland by like a year. So I've yet to experience their coasters, Its just a shame that the nearest one is so far out of the way at a wildlife park of all places.
Though this also reminds me, I haven't visited Liseberg since 2017 so I also gotta get to Liseberg at some point. Probably Finland too since I did visit Linanmaki once, but that was back in 2016, way before Taiga opened and back when they still had a water coaster in its place.
My main bucket list coasters are all RMCs I was either just barely too early to, or missed out on cuz of a closure.
Steel Vengeance is number 1 right now, I live in Ohio and I’ve only ever been to Cedar Point one time, which was in 2017 😓
Hakugei is number 2 cuz I’ve ridden White Cyclone the year before it closed, and experienced the worst pain of my life on it period! I feel like riding it would settle things between us 😅
Wildcat’s Revenge is number 3, cuz I went back to Hershey Park after 7 years specifically for this coaster, and it was closed both days I was there!
Iron Rattler is a similar case to WCR, but I was only there for 3 hours and it’s been the longest since then, so I’ve kinda gotten over it by now.
2:00, you mean you want to go to Brazil? Let the memes commence.
for a while, my number one bucket list coaster was verbolten. it was the first coaster i researched as a thoosie, and it was really fulfilling to ride it!! now im a passholder and can ride it whenever i want
I very recently went to Fiesta Texas for the 2nd time ever (my 2nd time at an amusement park) and I got hit with the coaster bug along with some friends. We're thinking of heading up to Pennsylvania in September and wondered if there are any great towns nearish to HersheyPark that we could stay at for about a week.
Iron Gwazi has been near the top of my bucket list since it opened. I was in Florida with my admission ticket ready to go for my first trip to Busch Gardens and I fell ill and wasn't able to go. So sadly, it is still near the top of my bucket list.
7 of them you listed I have checked - on my list Nemesis Reborn and Voltron is written down for this year and lots of US rides for my next trip to your country. Greets from Munich
Taylor: bucket list coasters aren't just the best ones you want to experience, maybe you could have more reasons why you want to ride them.
Me after sending my previous message and just hearing that: 💀
China es the trip i have been waiting from you guys for years. Want to see those reviews of python, wood coaster, coaster through the clouds and sky reaper. I thought Shivering timbers would make this list
wood coasters been sbno since 2022
I think mostly all coasters on my bucketlist are from the US of A...and The Smiler! It's hard to name all rollers but mostly all coasters in this video are on my bucketlist.
Some day in the future I might have riden 45% of them all.
One of the coasters that is being built and that is fresh on my bucketlist is the coaster that will be added to Gröna Lunds expansion, it will be awsome 😼
