    I appreciate the respect you showed The Beast. For a unique, nearly 45 year old coaster, I know its been surpassed in sheer audaciousness...but for a kid from the area, who was 8 years old in 1979, I can't really explain how much that old coaster means to me. It really does mark a lot of significant times in my life.... I sincerely hope it's opened another 45....

    I was the guy who actually made this tier list believe it or not.
    ..and first off, I'd like to apologize for the amateurish nature of it and how hard it is to see some of the names lol. Made this on a whim.
    To answer a big question (to which the answer seemed obvious), this list is indeed old. I made this in 2021 which explains the inclusion of Wicked Twister, TTD, and the name "Avalanche". As for the Rebel Yell thing, I was still not over the name change at the time lol.
    I'll probably update/remake this list someday to include images that are a lot easier to see or just use the digital versions of the logos instead.
    Other than that, thank you for the publicity!

    Great video! This kind of stuff is really interesting to me cuz my home park has always been Canada’s wonderland, so I have a soft spot. And personally, even tho I have never been on the three b&m’s, I have always been able to have a great time in the park. Coasters like vortex, backlot and dragon Frye have always been my middle of the road favourites (tho i can’t defend time warp or flight deck tho, there is reason they are always walk ons. Tho I do agree with many others that the park doesn’t really stack up compared to some of the top tier parks. Like I am literally writing this after visiting cedar point and yeah, it is the much better grander nicer park. With the waterfront views and overall better attractions, it is not contest. My favourite coasters (for someone who is the middle of the curve of rc) were iron dragon, corkscrew (cuz it is basically dragon Fyre) mine ride and the new wild mouse (cuz I am a sucker for mascot characters)

    I just rode twisted Timbers for the first time yesterday and I was blown away. Out of my 98 credits, it's probably #4, just behind steel vengeance. It was 90 degrees, so it was hauling and my thighs were sore after 8 rides lol.
    I only got 1 ride on i305, and it was in the back row, and I have to be honest, it wasn't as crazy as I remember it being from 2017. It's still a great intense ride, but it was kinda underwhelming to the point that I now consider skyrush the most intense coaster I've been on, at least from that 2018 marathon I had. I was going to get front row night ride, but there was a busted wheel right before, so I've never ridden i305 in the front, so I can't make that fair of a judgement.

Yeah most riders probably don't like Millennium Force as much as you. Marc from Coasterdash would definitely disagree with you about what you said about I 305. Chris from Airtime Thrills would definitely agree with what you said about I 305.
