I'm so happy Batman is receiving the love it deserves from you! Rode it during the press event and have it ranked as my number 1 coaster in Europe. My number 1 blitz coaster still is Veloci though😂 3. Maverick 4. Taron 5. Hagrids 6. Cheetah hunt
My favorite roller caster is legitimately tied between hagrid's and velocicoaster. Hagrids has the most insane theming that I've ever seen on a roller coaster, and for me, nothing can beat themeing, so they're tied.
@@ripslyyou could argue fly is better themed. I personally prefer tarons theming, but FLY has more interaction with its environment and has the same basic idea of flying through a town
@@flipfreedom9872Cool. Alton towers is my home park and some of the coasters there are world class. But you probably went at the wrong time since nemesis was closed for a retrack when you wrote that comment.
My favorite blitz and coaster is undoubtedly Velocicoaster. It’s pacing is literally unmatched by any other blitz, and the diversity of elements and the strength of them is what makes it so amazing! I do tend to care a bit too much about theming so I was so excited to find out how good this ride did theming. I rode it on the first day of passholder previews and will never forget that experience. It’s remained my #1 for over 2 years now and will most likely never be beat.
Definitely the best launched coaster. I too have it high in my list, only beaten out by toro and iron gwazi , which is saying something, as I do have quite a few credits.
@@metallicnole4514 Hollywood drift looks like it has the potential to. Also I think if they made something similar to velocicoaster in layout but added a swing launch like toutatis, that would bring it to the next level
I'm always glad you give Pantheon such love. I agree that it's better than Maverick. I still really wish they had done better with the presentation but the actual coaster is top notch.
The only reason I rate Taron over Maverick is because of the one time I was on it in Boost mode. 120% lsms and no trims. That was right after the previous one had a rollback. Absolutely incredible. Wish it would always be in that mode.
I rode taron on a calibration run ones. It was absolutely insane, after leaving the train i almost fell down and felt dizzy (never experienced that on a different coaster). Would love to get that experience again
My favorite model too, hands down! I’ve ridden all the ones in the US + Taron (well besides Pantheon) and I love how different each ride feels- like you said in the intro 🙌
I've only ridden four of these so far -- Cheetah Hunt, Hagrid's, Maverick and VelociCoaster -- but two of them are two of my favorite coasters (in my top five) -- Maverick and VelociCoaster. Maverick and VelociCoaster are both perfect coasters to me. I mentioned before that I ended up liking Maverick better than Steel Vengeance on my first trip to Cedar Point, and Maverick was my favorite coaster in the park. I couldn't stop riding it over and over again. At one point, I told myself: "Okay that was the last ride for the day. Time to hit something else before the park closes"-- but I wound up hopping right back on it again. VelociCoaster is GODLY. My second favorite coaster (very closely behind Iron Gwazi). I rode it several times throughout the day and finished off my day at the park with two consecutive night rides -- I was lucky enough to get on the second to last train at around 6:50pm. I love how VelociCoaster's second half and Maverick's entire layout are so aggressive and relentless -- and also insanely fun. Both coasters are so easily rerideable, even with their levels of intensity and aggression. As much as I love intense, aggressive and relentless coasters, there are a few I've ridden that are only rerideable a few times in a row before I have to take a break before getting back on them. This wasn't the case with VelociCoaster or Maverick. I enjoyed Cheethah Hunt, but I was also underwhelmed by it. I went into it with the impression that it was supposed to be more intense and aggressive than it actually was. It was fun enough, but I had hoped for more from it. Still, I did enjoy it more than Hagrid's. Hagrid's was okay, but it didn't really do much for me at all. Ultimately, it's not the kind of coaster that does. I'm sure I'll feel the same way about Big Bear Mountain when I ride it. Taiga and Batman Gotham City look like roller coaster perfection to me, and I'm pretty sure they would both be up there in my favorites with Maverick and VelociCoaster. I can see how Intamin Blitz coasters are your favorite model since two of them are in my top five favorite coasters, with two RMC's -- 1. Iron Gwazi 2. VelociCoaster 3. ArieForce One 4. Maverick 5. Fury 325. I'm sure that if I rode more of them than I have -- ones like Taiga, Batman Gotham City, Tatoutis, Pantheon (you better be open next time), they would be my favorite coaster model as well. Right now, they are even with RMC hybrids as my favorite coaster models.
Lmao the only ones I’ve done are velocicoaster and cheetah hunt and gee wilickers! I wonder which ones my favorite (I consider hagrids a startle coaster)
All Speeds (Sunac Land Chengdu) seems slower, because after the 2nd launch, the 'top hat' is taller. In the interview of Intamin by CoasersWorld, Daniel Schoppen (vice president of Intamin) explained that with the feedbacks on Taron, they raised this element by 5 meters, because there were less limitations than Phantasialand. The launch technology also changed, he said it was invisible for the riders, but for maintenance it's way better.
Taking into account that I’ve only been on 2 of these, Pantheon is my favorite because of the little bump in the swing launch. In the back row, you get yanked out of your lap bar, leaving you stunned until you realize that you’re dropping 95 degrees
My favorite one is Taron since I live arround a 15 minute drive from the park and can ride it without needing to travel. But the other once look cool too. Might be trying them out when I go on vacation / visit another country.
I rode only Taron and Toutatis and I agree that Toutatis is better, the second part is so good even with the trims, I love that big airtime hill and the final roll
I've only ridden 2 of these, Pantheon and Maverick, and I love both. But Maverick absolutely blew me away, its number 3 in my top 25. That second launch is insane! BGW and Kings Dominion are my home parks so I've had tons of rides on Pantheon, its my favorite in the park, and number 12 on my top 25 list. Maverick reminds me of I305 (I refuse to call it Project 305 lol) with all the snappy transitions.
Ive only done Maverick and Pantheon but I definitely like Maverick more. I love compact coasters that absolutely haul through their layouts, so Maverick definitely fits the bill. One of the only coasters I've done that really feels one of a kind, truly spectacular ride. Pantheon is also awesome. Really out of the box layout with some seriously fun elements. Also the backwards bunny hill is a contendor for my favorite coaster element, absolutely nuts element
It may use a hydraulic launch but Matugani at Lost Island definitely seems more like a Blitz model than an Accelerator model. It's incredibly short but is a pretty good overall coaster.
Maverick has to me my #1 blitz. That, Steel Vengeance and the Voyage are the only three I've come off gasping for breath after my first rides. Batman GCE has to be #2. The launch feels like it's hydrolic (first launch), the wait is less than VC, a 750mL/26oz. beer is less than 6€/$6.50 and it has two absolutely trademark elements. VC is #3.
I’ve ridden cheetah hunt many times it’s the most rides I’ve gotten on a coaster and is my number 1 at the park (for now that will be replaced by gwazi soon) it has great airtime and has never disappointed me and I haven’t ridden Kumba as it has been broken down all my visits or Tigris as I have ridden tempesto or gwazi as it was closed after wildcats revenge opened
I do prefer Maverick to Pantheon myself, but even so, Pantheon is insanely underrated. It's really fun, with great launches, airtime, and pacing. Still sits in my top 10.
I've only ridden two so far; Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens Tampa and Maverick at Cedar Point. Cheetah Hunt is my favorite of the two mainly because of its setting and length. It's a very close call between the two.
I would say that Zokkon and Hagrids are the same model as they are very similar in layout and forces, with zokkon lacking a drop track but other than that very similar coasters. I would say you would have to either consider them both blitzes or neither but not only one of them
I was torn in six different directions because I hadn't been on a single one of these other than hagrid... until you hit #1 lmao. On the other hand, we did go on Velocicoaster repeatedly until we were literally shaking because it was late, in December, and the single rider queue only took 15 minutes. 😂 The water section is incredible, it really feels like you could just reach out and take a dip in the lake if you could figure out which way gravity was going. I think what makes it even better is the second acceleration is timed so well with the audio and the mini story line they've got going on. One second you go "oh shit" bc the raptor warning and then "OH SHIIIIIIT" bc you're suddenly going Really Really fast.
Maverick is my favorite cedar point coaster. Even though its not the "best" coaster, as that is hands down vengeance, Maverick just holds a special place in my heart. Velocicoaster is probably my #1 overall too.
Zokkon is actually really smooth , despite the odd looking profiling. Unfortunately they took out the launch following the backwards section before opening and you can tell it turns the coaster into a family coaster. Great night ride with sound track though.
Favorite model from my favorite manufacturer. I REALLY hope that cedar fair and Intamin rekindle their relationship soon. We need an intamin at kings island.
Of the ones I’ve ridden here’s my ranking. To be clear all of these rides are fantastic and in my top 10 favorite coasters. 4. Hagrid’s 3. Pantheon 2. Maverick 1. VelociCoaster
Ive only been on 3. 1. Velocicoaster 2. Maverick 3. Hagrids But will go to busch gardens in october where ill ride patheon 🙂 (I'm guessing patheon will place 3rd and bump hagrids to 4th)
I have Velocicoaster ahead of Toutatis. I think Toutatis is the better coaster but I think Velocicoaster is the better overall package. After those 2 I have Taron third, pantheon 4th and maverick 5th. Taron would be behind the other two if in a field but the presentation moves it ahead. I will hopefully get on Taiga next year and Batman in 2025.
Taiga is such a great coaster. Personally like it more than Velocicoaster and Taron. That ride is basically intamin's greatest hits in one single ride.
Great list! However I've always considered Intamin Blitz as multiple LSM launches and a complete circuit, which would disqualify 2 of your top 5 for me!
Never been on an Intamin Blitz, but I'm (somewhat) patiently waiting for Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift and then I can ride a blitz- style Coaster, but with SPINNING!!! SO EXCITED!!💙💙 I LOVE INTAMIN 💙
Nice ranking, definitely enjoyed it. I like that you highlighted the other Blitz coasters, because some of them get overlooked quite often. Oh and like you said, Zokkon at Fuji-Q nowhere near falls into this category, it rides like a tame version of Juvelen. Not even a thrill coaster lol. Out of the coasters I‘ve ridden, I would probably rank them like this: 1. Taiga 2. Batman GCE 3 Toutatis 4. (Red Force) 5. Taron Can’t wait to ride Red Fire, Nefeskesen, Manta and Storm Coaster next month though
As always, intro slaps, but I've only ridden 1 of them: Maverick. Still in my top 5. btw, here's my (ridden and non-ridden) top 5: 1. Jurassic World VelociCoaster, Universal's Islands of Adventure, Orlando, FL. (Not ridden) 2. Taron, Phantasialand, Bruhl, Germany. (Not ridden) 3. Batman Gotham City Escape, Parque Warner Madrid, Madrid, Spain. (Not ridden) 4. Maverick, Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio. (Ridden, August 11, 2023) 5. Toutatis, Parc Astérix, Paris, France. (Not ridden)
I love all the coasters on your list, but I feel Hagrid's doesnt get the recognition it deserves because its a "family coaster". A front row night on the motorbike side is amazing and when you throw in the unreal theming it is as fun as it gets.
i got a front night ride on it on my last trip like 3 weeks ago hands down one of the best night rides on any coaster I've ridden also got a night ride on velocicoaster great but overall hagrids has a better night ride
Haven;t done Velo and batman so Taron is defintly my nr 1 taiga my nr 2 and maverick my nr 3, Pantheon didn't even make my favorites list i found it very dissapointing (thats dissapointing for a an intamin launch coaster). We defintly have some different tast in this model wich is ok.
I have 3 Blitz coasters is my top 5 and the other 2 spots are occupied by Intamin mega coasters 😂, Id rank them like this: 1. Taron, 2. Toutatis, 3. Gotham City Escape
MAVERICK CHANGED MY WHOLE IDEA OF NEEDING HEIGHT ON A COASTER!!! That baby hauls and thrills excessively!! Too bad they took out that "heartline roll" after the 1st drop!! Too much stress on the track and I think on some people that couldn't handle the intensity!! So glad I got to experience that before it was removed. It took the whole ride to another level. I feel Cedar Fair tamed it down and lost the whole thrill.
It’s funny you mention that, because I completely forgot Hagrid’s even had straddle seating. I’ve only ever ridden it in the sidecar because that’s where they put you when you wait in the single rider line. I guess that’s enough of a difference right there 😂
I haven’t done pantheon or have been on any coaster outside of the U.S yet but as of now my top blitz coasters I’ve done are… 1. VelociCoaster 2. Maverick 3. Hagrid’s 4. Cheetah Hunt
I think that Its unfair to say that Universal has so Good theming. They do but the only reason they Can afford it is because its a park chain and run by a company that makes a lot of Money. Phantasialand is a Single Park Not run by a chain, so for Thema to have such Great theming is just insane. But I still arge. Velocicoaster is just the best.
velocicoaster IS NOT better than gwazi in my opinion. I honestly think i would enjoy riding taiga all day more than velocicoaster due to its nasty rattle and short ride time.

The boss is epic
When I went on Hagrid’s I had to wait 235 minutes but I got lucky and got the front row
I'm so happy Batman is receiving the love it deserves from you!
Rode it during the press event and have it ranked as my number 1 coaster in Europe.
My number 1 blitz coaster still is Veloci though😂

Apparently you haven't been to Phantasialand 😏
I haven’t! i was planning to go this summer, but decided to go to Alton instead lol
@@flipfreedom9872 believe me when i say Taron is the best themed roller coaster ever
@@ripslyyou could argue fly is better themed. I personally prefer tarons theming, but FLY has more interaction with its environment and has the same basic idea of flying through a town

I'm always glad you give Pantheon such love. I agree that it's better than Maverick. I still really wish they had done better with the presentation but the actual coaster is top notch.
Couldn’t have said it better myself!
Especially since it has pretty average theming/ presentation for the US so complaining about it doesnt really make sense
The only reason I rate Taron over Maverick is because of the one time I was on it in Boost mode. 120% lsms and no trims. That was right after the previous one had a rollback. Absolutely incredible. Wish it would always be in that mode.
That sounds incredible! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
Boost mode is littelery not allowed for public use….
The park would get in legal trouble for doing that… would be nice, but sadly illegal
I rode taron on a calibration run ones. It was absolutely insane, after leaving the train i almost fell down and felt dizzy (never experienced that on a different coaster). Would love to get that experience again
My favorite model too, hands down! I’ve ridden all the ones in the US + Taron (well besides Pantheon) and I love how different each ride feels- like you said in the intro 🙌
Thank you for showing Pantheon love!! It’s so good, especially later on in the day when it warms up

I rode Gotham escape last week and since then I'm still in doubt if Gotham or Veloci is my number 1 - I love them both soooooo much!
Lmao the only ones I’ve done are velocicoaster and cheetah hunt and gee wilickers! I wonder which ones my favorite (I consider hagrids a startle coaster)
All Speeds (Sunac Land Chengdu) seems slower, because after the 2nd launch, the 'top hat' is taller.

That’s very interesting! Thanks for the comment 🙌🏻
Yeaaah! Let's go Warner Madrid! After 20 year of nothingness, my home park is now top tier!
We loved Parque Warner Madrid! One of our favorite parks on our recent Europe tour 😄
Taking into account that I’ve only been on 2 of these, Pantheon is my favorite because of the little bump in the swing launch. In the back row, you get yanked out of your lap bar, leaving you stunned until you realize that you’re dropping 95 degrees
My favorite one is Taron since I live arround a 15 minute drive from the park and can ride it without needing to travel. But the other once look cool too. Might be trying them out when I go on vacation / visit another country.

Great video! These do have an awesome and varied lineup of coasters!
Ive only done Maverick and Pantheon but I definitely like Maverick more. I love compact coasters that absolutely haul through their layouts, so Maverick definitely fits the bill. One of the only coasters I've done that really feels one of a kind, truly spectacular ride. Pantheon is also awesome. Really out of the box layout with some seriously fun elements. Also the backwards bunny hill is a contendor for my favorite coaster element, absolutely nuts element

Velocicoaster is the best! I totally agree with you. The top hat is awesome, and I just got to appreciate the mosasaurus roll. It’s just so good.
Maverick has to me my #1 blitz. That, Steel Vengeance and the Voyage are the only three I've come off gasping for breath after my first rides.
Batman GCE has to be #2. The launch feels like it's hydrolic (first launch), the wait is less than VC, a 750mL/26oz. beer is less than 6€/$6.50 and it has two absolutely trademark elements.
VC is #3.
I’ve ridden cheetah hunt many times it’s the most rides I’ve gotten on a coaster and is my number 1 at the park (for now that will be replaced by gwazi soon) it has great airtime and has never disappointed me and I haven’t ridden Kumba as it has been broken down all my visits or Tigris as I have ridden tempesto or gwazi as it was closed after wildcats revenge opened
I do prefer Maverick to Pantheon myself, but even so, Pantheon is insanely underrated. It's really fun, with great launches, airtime, and pacing. Still sits in my top 10.
I’ve only ridden Velocicoaster and cheetah hunt but I’ll be riding pantheon next month and I’m super excited!
I've only ridden two so far; Cheetah Hunt at Busch Gardens Tampa and Maverick at Cedar Point. Cheetah Hunt is my favorite of the two mainly because of its setting and length. It's a very close call between the two.
I would say that Zokkon and Hagrids are the same model as they are very similar in layout and forces, with zokkon lacking a drop track but other than that very similar coasters. I would say you would have to either consider them both blitzes or neither but not only one of them
I was torn in six different directions because I hadn't been on a single one of these other than hagrid... until you hit #1 lmao. On the other hand, we did go on Velocicoaster repeatedly until we were literally shaking because it was late, in December, and the single rider queue only took 15 minutes. 😂 The water section is incredible, it really feels like you could just reach out and take a dip in the lake if you could figure out which way gravity was going.
I think what makes it even better is the second acceleration is timed so well with the audio and the mini story line they've got going on. One second you go "oh shit" bc the raptor warning and then "OH SHIIIIIIT" bc you're suddenly going Really Really fast.
Maverick is my favorite cedar point coaster. Even though its not the "best" coaster, as that is hands down vengeance, Maverick just holds a special place in my heart. Velocicoaster is probably my #1 overall too.
Im glad Batman GCE is at my homepark!
I have done Velocicoaster and Hagrid’s which are my number 1 and number 5.
Yay velocicoaster still number 1, that’s my number 1 in general! Awesome video!
0:24 FAX
Zokkon is actually really smooth , despite the odd looking profiling. Unfortunately they took out the launch following the backwards section before opening and you can tell it turns the coaster into a family coaster. Great night ride with sound track though.
That’s good to hear! Not so much about the backwards launch though :(
Why did they take it out?
Just like you I flew to Finland only to ride Taiga. Still my number 1 coaster, its crazy good.
Favorite model from my favorite manufacturer. I REALLY hope that cedar fair and Intamin rekindle their relationship soon. We need an intamin at kings island.
Agree with you! Spot on
0:59 same lol
Every time I watch your videos, I think my TH-cam breaks with the music playing but the screen black but then Fury 325 just pops up at the beginning.
Velocicoaster is a mega slay it’s def my #1 😍💅
Same!!
It's good, but Taiga is better IMO. Taiga has stronger elements and is pretty much the greatest hits of Intamin in one ride.
Rode pantheon for the first time 3-4 weeks ago it was amazing airtime was insane
I think Velocicoaster is the best even tho it’s the only blitz I’ve ridden Velocicoaster is my number 1 I can talk about it all day
I’ve rode 3 of them as of now:
1. Velocicoaster
2. Hagrid’s
3. Cheetah Hunt
Ive never done a blitz but I think it would be velocicoaster if i guess by appearance
Mad props on a great video Marc. Way to go.
Thank you so much 🙏🏻🤘🏻
Can’t beat an intamin launch coaster, nice list and I agree with most placements in this ranking
I prefer rmc's
i’ve only done velocicoaster maverick hagrids and cheetah hunt
Of the ones I’ve ridden here’s my ranking. To be clear all of these rides are fantastic and in my top 10 favorite coasters.
4. Hagrid’s
3. Pantheon
2. Maverick
1. VelociCoaster
Ive only been on 3.
1. Velocicoaster
2. Maverick
3. Hagrids
But will go to busch gardens in october where ill ride patheon 🙂
(I'm guessing patheon will place 3rd and bump hagrids to 4th)
The only Intamin blitz coasters I’ve been on are hagrids and velociccoster
I have Velocicoaster ahead of Toutatis. I think Toutatis is the better coaster but I think Velocicoaster is the better overall package. After those 2 I have Taron third, pantheon 4th and maverick 5th. Taron would be behind the other two if in a field but the presentation moves it ahead. I will hopefully get on Taiga next year and Batman in 2025.
Taiga is such a great coaster. Personally like it more than Velocicoaster and Taron. That ride is basically intamin's greatest hits in one single ride.
I can understand why! Taiga is incredible 🙌🏻
My favorite blitz is velocicoaster, but as up now i prefer kondaa over it for its pure power
Great list! However I've always considered Intamin Blitz as multiple LSM launches and a complete circuit, which would disqualify 2 of your top 5 for me!
Never been on an Intamin Blitz, but I'm (somewhat) patiently waiting for Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift and then I can ride a blitz- style Coaster, but with SPINNING!!! SO EXCITED!!💙💙 I LOVE INTAMIN 💙
I’ve done Toutatis. So my number 1 Blitz Coaster is Toutatis.
1. Taiga
2. Maverick
3. Red Force (I consider it a Blitz)
4. Taron
Even if I considered Red Force a blitz coaster, this would be the same list as me 🙌🏻
Nice ranking, definitely enjoyed it. I like that you highlighted the other Blitz coasters, because some of them get overlooked quite often.
Oh and like you said, Zokkon at Fuji-Q nowhere near falls into this category, it rides like a tame version of Juvelen. Not even a thrill coaster lol.
Out of the coasters I‘ve ridden, I would probably rank them like this:
1. Taiga
2. Batman GCE
3 Toutatis
4. (Red Force)
5. Taron
Can’t wait to ride Red Fire, Nefeskesen, Manta and Storm Coaster next month though
Thanks for watching Tim!
I would say:
1) Batman Gotham City Escape
2) Velocicoaster
3) Maverick
4) Pantheon
5) Hagrids
6) Cheetah Hunt
As always, intro slaps, but I've only ridden 1 of them: Maverick. Still in my top 5.
btw, here's my (ridden and non-ridden) top 5:
1. Jurassic World VelociCoaster, Universal's Islands of Adventure, Orlando, FL. (Not ridden)
2. Taron, Phantasialand, Bruhl, Germany. (Not ridden)
3. Batman Gotham City Escape, Parque Warner Madrid, Madrid, Spain. (Not ridden)
4. Maverick, Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio. (Ridden, August 11, 2023)
5. Toutatis, Parc Astérix, Paris, France. (Not ridden)
Out of all the ones I’ve ridden:
6 Maverick
5 Cheetah Hunt
4 Pantheon
3 Taron
2 Velocicoaster
1 Hagrids
Hagrid’s at 1 is an interesting take, but I respect it 🙌🏻
Ive only ridden pantheon, but its easily number one on my list the jump between pantheon and my number 2 is insane 💀
i need some advice, i’m going to paris next year and i can only go to one park - do i go to parc asterix or disneyland i can’t decide 😭
I have only ridden Taron so it is also my favorite
hagrids for theming velocicoaster for layout
The only blitz I rode is manta at sea world Abu Dhabi💀 and maybe storm coaster
How is it?
@@CoasterDash amazing I would def ride it again and storm coaster maybe next weekend I hope edit:I also subbed
@@pokemonfanwsbgalt8574Sounds great! Thanks for your support 🙏🏻
I feel so lucky that Batman gotham city escape it's in my home park😍
1. VelociCoaster
2. Maverick
3. Hagrids
4. Cheetah Hunt
I couldn’t agree with the ranking more!
Only ridden 3 so may as well rank all of them
#1: Maverick
#2: Pantheon
#3: Velocicoaster
Out of the ones I’ve ridden,
3. Cheetah hunt
2. Hagrid
1. Velocicoaster
What is this coaster? 1:35
Nefeskesen
I love all the coasters on your list, but I feel Hagrid's doesnt get the recognition it deserves because its a "family coaster". A front row night on the motorbike side is amazing and when you throw in the unreal theming it is as fun as it gets.
i got a front night ride on it on my last trip like 3 weeks ago hands down one of the best night rides on any coaster I've ridden also got a night ride on velocicoaster great but overall hagrids has a better night ride
Finally this video!!!
Tiaga is so underrated because almost no one has been to the park!
Haven;t done Velo and batman so Taron is defintly my nr 1 taiga my nr 2 and maverick my nr 3, Pantheon didn't even make my favorites list i found it very dissapointing (thats dissapointing for a an intamin launch coaster). We defintly have some different tast in this model wich is ok.
I've only been on Maverick and Cheetah Hunt
Velocicoaster is my favorite too, but Batman was close.
Couldn’t agree more!
I have 3 Blitz coasters is my top 5 and the other 2 spots are occupied by Intamin mega coasters 😂, Id rank them like this: 1. Taron, 2. Toutatis, 3. Gotham City Escape
Ive only been on Cheetah Hunt and Maverick
Is darkoaster at Busch gardens, Williamsburg an intimate blitz?
that is a family multilaunch coaster, otherwise known as a straddle coaster. rather than LSM’s, it uses drive tires to launch the train :)
A blitz like Taron would’ve been perfect at Galaxy’s Edge.
MAVERICK CHANGED MY WHOLE IDEA OF NEEDING HEIGHT ON A COASTER!!! That baby hauls and thrills excessively!! Too bad they took out that "heartline roll" after the 1st drop!! Too much stress on the track and I think on some people that couldn't handle the intensity!! So glad I got to experience that before it was removed. It took the whole ride to another level. I feel Cedar Fair tamed it down and lost the whole thrill.
If the Fast and Furious Drift coaster coming to Hollywood has some form of spinning train, would you still consider it a Blitz?
We’ll have to wait and see how it turns out!
@CoasterDash I'm so excited for that coaster! I personally think it would be an MDC but who knows, maybe it could pass as a blitz to some
Maverick is miles better than Taron as a coaster, but Tarons theming gives it massive bonus points.
So I'm not as well versed as you. But what makes Hagrids different from a straddle coaster?
It’s funny you mention that, because I completely forgot Hagrid’s even had straddle seating. I’ve only ever ridden it in the sidecar because that’s where they put you when you wait in the single rider line. I guess that’s enough of a difference right there 😂
I haven’t done pantheon or have been on any coaster outside of the U.S yet but as of now my top blitz coasters I’ve done are…
1. VelociCoaster
2. Maverick
3. Hagrid’s
4. Cheetah Hunt
I got so mad at pantheon over maverick and btw is my home park
I've only done Taron and honestly i found it disappointing with both its launches & the repetetive forces on the layout
Never been on a blitz 😢😢😢😢
I’ve only ridden one but after watching this I think I need to get out more…
1: Velocicoaster
2: Maverick
3: Hagrids Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure
‘TATIIIIIIIIIIIIS 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷❤️❤️❤️
I think that Its unfair to say that Universal has so Good theming. They do but the only reason they Can afford it is because its a park chain and run by a company that makes a lot of Money. Phantasialand is a Single Park Not run by a chain, so for Thema to have such Great theming is just insane. But I still arge. Velocicoaster is just the best.
Definitely Velocicoaster. Hands down the best coaster I've ridden. The best part is that it's my home park, I can visit almost every 1 to 2 weeks.
Taron should be wayyyyy higher
I said it before, but Toutatis isn’t pronounced too-taw-dis like you say it,more like too-tah-tiss 😁
Intamin multi-launch = blitz
Yep
velocicoaster IS NOT better than gwazi in my opinion. I honestly think i would enjoy riding taiga all day more than velocicoaster due to its nasty rattle and short ride time.
This Video has a 6/5 max height limit. :)
im one minute in so ill give my predictions: #3 Batman, #2 Velocicoaster, #1 Hagrids
edit: HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT (im a wizard)
