you really left out laff trakk like we wouldn’t notice 🤨🙄🙄
ayo not laff trakk 😭‼️
@@CoasterDash yes laff trakk 🙄🙄 can we ride it when we’re at hershey
@@rzepko Quassy should RMC WOODEN WARRIOR.
@@tylerawesome9993 no they should not 😡
@@tylerawesome9993 yeah they should add just a little height and make it a hyper hybrid ‼️‼️
You’re not missing anything with the sling shot. It’s basically forceless and downright uncomfortable. The sky coaster is so much better and really fun!
I honestly figured that this was the case. Thanks for letting me know man!
When you leave x2 you’ll be a totally different person, trust me.
@Thekillerrodo if you want a ride that can get you either numb to roller coasters or even more scared X2 is that ride
Yeah because you will be in pain
YES. You have to do it. Insane experience
@@markyrex7512i think thats weird. the day i went yo SF MM, i was scared af to go ride Goliath but i wasnt scares of X2, i experienced it and the first drop felt insanely scary and good. I don't know if I got on a very extreme roller coaster without knowing it or what
@@thekillerrodo4312its worth it, I was also scared of roller coasters. After X2 I could do anything
I went on Dive devil for the first time when I was in middle school and I had to be the one to pull the rip cord 🤣🤣🤣I was so nervous lmfao. But it isn’t that bad and I was happy after!
You pulled what?
@@ole3304 I think the cord that like let’s you drop
Excellent ranking! My top ride is Twisted Colossus. It was my first RMC and holds a special place in my heart.
Twisted Colossus is incredible 😭
It’s a mid to low tier rmc for me
That’s really cool. In my opinion, I think x2 is better though
my 8 year old daughter says x2, Tatsu, Full throttle top 3
X2 is by far my favorite ride at magic mountain... when the audio is working. I have been to the park 5 times since it opened up to the public and I am slightly disappointed every time when the audio isn't working. I heard that it broke back in 2018 and train 1 occasionally has audio, but I even miss the station audio which elevates the fear factor of the ride. I was fortunate enough to experience the ride back in 2016 when the audio was working so that experience has spoiled me for my recent rides. It was especially a bummer that they had a whole year of shut down from covid to fix the effects but didn't choose to. I really hope that six flags fixes the effects on this ride as it would be a whole lot better to one of the most intense coasters out there.
THIS! I hate that Six Flags doesn't put in the attention to detail in their parks that Cedar Fair does (or Disney & Universal). The audio track is so fun to hear and it's so well timed to the entire ride! When I was there in February of 2020 (my last time before covid) at least one train had the audio. I was willing to wait for that train to show up to ride it. :)
I agree about the audio on X2 1000%.
Lover of concussions. Kudos!
Agreed !! Also the fog & fire as well makes it better !
I’m going to six flags tomorrow this really helped !
How was it? Im thinking about going in September. Its been like 15 years since i’ve been
@@kennethgeorge8964 dude definitely go it’s amazing. This was my first time I’ve gone there and it’s so fun
@@DrPeanutButterYT how crowded was it? how long were your average wait times? i bought my season pass and am planning on going soon, but i hope it’s not ridiculously crowded
@@cameronbleecker9072 so in the beginning there was literally no line at all but near the end (12pm to 3pm) The lines were about an hour and a half long so I would recommend getting there right when it opens
I am going there to There to idk when
Major props for giving Scream & Superman some love. Scream is almost as fun as most other B&M's are, and no matter what one says about Superman, going up ATLEAST 350 feet up a 410 foot tower at over 100 mph, even with the weak launch, is still a great experience due to scale alone.
I like seeing your comparisons between coasters and other types of rides. I hope you'll do this for Knott's Berry Farm.
that’s coming next 😄
@@CoasterDash since you’re new to my channel, I want to let you know I did a ranking today.
This video was executed wonderfully. I could listen to you explain videos all day long! hahaha
Visiting magic mtn next week for the first time. The content is crazy dope bro. Definitely subscribing!! Thank you.
I understand why Goliath was ranked lower than most coasters, but you ranked it lower than a dark ride that does nothing, Na I don’t agree with that at all😂
LOL I like justice league thooo
Scream deserves more love, I decided to go on it when I was visiting the park for my birthday and I think it’s the best coaster I rode, It’s not the smoothest it does have a little bit of a rattle but I think it’s a fun ride, yes I hear a lot of complaints about the Rattle and the parking lot theme but come on it’s a roller coaster it actually my number 1 roller coaster
Congrats on this being your first 100,000 viewed video! 🎉🎇🎆🎈🏆
Twisted colossus, x2, and tatsu are my favs
My home park is over Georgia and I've ridden several batman clones, including magic mountains, but the one at over Georgia has got to be my favorite
SFMM is reeaallllyy loud. On the actual mountain, you can hear Tatsu's operators screaming "Tatsuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!" In the back, you hear Riddler's extremely loud B&M roar. Superman is so loud that I'm pretty sure you could hear it outside of the park.
loudest park i’ve been to potentially 😅
I remember being able to hear Lex Luthor’s spiel on Lex Luthor Drop of Doom from the parking lot. Sound is a funny thing. It can travel a long way.
Superman noise is so intense
Yes ,you saying how much you like a ride that feels it’s going to kill you is exactly how I rate a ride , I rode Goliath not long after it opened and no mid course braking made that helix unbelievable in its intensity. I have only been to one USA park sfmm , but my other rides that almost killed me was the wooden wild mouse at Blackpool pleasure beach (before the internet) I was 10 and had no idea what a wild mouse did ,along with no restraints,beyond insane head ,arm choppers crazy laterals and ejector airtime ,I came off shaking but went straight back on and also the ultimate at light water valley (again before the internet ) I had no idea that after the second lift hill the ride turns into a BEAST ,crazy out of control madness.
Apocalypse doesn’t get widely talked about for the simple reason that not enough people have ridden it post-retrack yet to spread the word and upgrade its reputation. It actually took about two years before the retracked Ghostrider started getting full recognition across the country.
I love this video! I just went on Twisted Collasus and it blew me away! So much airtime! My new favorite ride
I rode on Mountain Express back in 1974 and I got to say your list is the best. And Magic Mountain is the best in all the world
I love six flags LOVE. My family’s last trip to California. Was my first time there. Drove from Vancouver island. My son and myself was there from opening till close. And was fortunate enough to ride every ride in one day. With 15 minutes left before the park closed for the day we finished our epic day with x2. It was the only ride I have ever rode that actually made me scream. now I am not talking about screeching joyful bliss, but screaming as though I am going to die. Absolutely awesome. I can’t believe one park has so many incredible rides. Cheers. I like your channel and you have a great analysis of the rides.
I rode twisted colossus this year 5 times and I dualed each one because they are getting the timing better
Good list. I wish I didn’t start on X2 when I last went. I felt sick all day, but soldiered on, I rode 17 rides 35 times. It was epic! I love 6 Flags.
I haven’t rode very many coasters in my life but ill never forget X2 it was just absolute madness
Don't forget about twisted colossus
The last time I went to 6 flags Magic Mountain the Viper an the Colossus. Was my two all time favorite rides! In the late 80s early 90s
My dad said the viper was his fav too
Same. that viper man although they had one called the ninja too
@@khaos1185 yeah the ninja is still there bro..
@@bnice2all yes I do wow how times pass..
I've only ridden one stand up coaster, which was green lantern. Personally, I want a forceless stand up coaster. Because the positive g's really hurt my legs on green lantern. And I came off with a mild headache. So I would probably put riddler last if I had ridden it. But I can see how people could like stand up coasters
As long as you know how to ride them (get a lot of room to bend knees) then it’s great imo
Always try to ride Riddler in the front. I once made the horrible mistake of riding it in the back.... My head bounced around like a pinball. I had a MASSIVE headache after it was over. So yeah, stick with the front or near the front. And I agree. Give your legs a little bit of a bend so that you can better absorb the forces.
Stand up coasters feel more like work than a thrilling ride. The whole time I’m focused more on what I’m doing than the ride. Like bending knees my knees the right way to prevent a shattered pelvis.
I just won 4 season passes from a work party, I'm gonna be going early in July with my family, so hyped haven't been here in a while
My top ride at the park for the longest time was Tatsu, but now it's Twisted Colossus. What an amazing ride (I still love Tatsu though)! I was able to go on it when the park reopened and got a near perfect race in which was fantastic (I was on the blue track while the other car was on the green track).
Wow, this is a fantastic list of all the best coasters👍👍I haven't ridden a coaster in 25 years! Got to get my son &his dad to go on these! LOL
Haha thank you! You definitely should 😁
Magic mountain absolutely can call itself the "thrill capital of the world", but as much as I hate it, quantity doesnt win you golden ticket awards
Yeah I'd imagine Cedar Point is high on that list too. Just as high even.
Yeah I'd imagine Cedar Point is high on that list too. Just as high even.
Can't wait to visit soon !
You explained X2 perfect! It’s so intense that it’s not for everyone
Imagine a wooden warrior clone at Magic Mountain, that would be kinda cool tbh. It would actually be a good fit for the park
wait but like actually
I will always love the OG Colossus! It’s the roller coaster of my youth and at the time there was nothing else like it! Yes, the airtime it insane! And the heart and soul of the OG Colossus lives in the twisted version so it’s really the beloved Colossus… with a twist! ❤️
I love coasters, but my first time on X2 scared the hell out of me. So, of course, I always go back for more.
Before I moved to my current location of Washington, Magic Mountain was my home park. I used to go to it at least once per month. I can't disagree with your list. I've been on every single one of those rides and I think they're all great. I see a lot of shade thrown at Twisted Colossus because it's not Lightning Rod or Steel Vengeance. I think such people are haters. Twisted Colossus I believe is still an incredible ride and one of my favorites at the park.
Ah I love Washington! Glad you enjoyed the list man, thanks for the comment 😁
@@CoasterDash Washington State just needs a big elite amusement park, same thing goes for Oregon as well. Or they could Enlarge Wild Waves/Enchanted Village.
I just went to the park so I have to revisit this list and man, my opinions are crazy. Batman is my number 4 in the park and Scream (though I went in with an open mind) was painful in some parts and nearly forceless the whole way through. Viper was the most painful coaster in the park and Full Throttle was brought down by the final drop. Fun day, but I thought most coasters would be better.
I used to work their decades ago. So it's kind of nice to see this video.
My son has Twisted on his @1, but my absolute favorite is X2. And I really like that I can so easily go from X2 to Viper. It's a total visit then...
Very solid list. And yes, full throttle has to be the 4th best after the big 3. Just pure fun
I feel so grateful to have visited (considering I live 6000 miles away from the park!) but it's a shame I visited before many of its best attractions arrived! Ah well, next time I'm in California I shall return
You’ve gotta come back! It’s amazing 🤩
I’m a coaster enthusiast and I LOVE apocalypse! Its also the only wooden coaster I have ever ridden. So yep
I rode X2 when it was first opened and i remember how much people HATED it from how much it shook, i banged my head pretty bad, a couple years ago i rode it again and omg I fell IN LOVE with it!!!! It is my favorite for intensity
Look, I'm not a hardcore coaster enthusiast. I'm going to Knott's Berry Farm rather than this place, so I'm excited for your rankings there, but honestly, X2 isn't my thing. Not even Xcelerator, which I'm being forced to go on to break my fear of launches. X2 just looks downright insane, and I can understand why people love it. Nice rankings though, I overall agree!!
P.S. did you know that West Coast Racers is a Mobius loop coaster? That makes WCR the only Mobius launched coaster and it makes SFMM the only park with two Mobius loop coasters, the other being Twisted Colossus.
I remember riding viper after they finished building it and opening it. Like I said. I used to work there. And when they opened it. Decades ago. I used to ride it everyday after work. I love that coaster. And that was the most extreme coaster that I have ever ridden.
Of all the rides at the park that I've been on, my favorite is Full Throttle followed by The Riddler's Revenge, Apocalypse, Colossus (before becoming Twisted Colossus), Scream, Tatsu, Goliath, Ninja, X2, Goldrusher, Jet Stream, Lex Luther: Drop of Doom, Revolution and Green Lantern: First Flight.
Ooo!!! We literally have the same top 3! I know y'alls have probably changed, but I haven't been to Magic Mountain since 2018.. going back there this July, though! 3rd time ever visiting the park!
The Flying Dinosaur is almost the exact same as Tatsu. It’s been a while since Tastu. But Flying Dinosaur was intense. It drew tears for the two of us riding together. I was so happy that was my last ride of the night. Amazing closer.
I quite agree that SFMM's flats are underrated. The only thing I can immediately change about the list is that X2 would be moved to 3. Every time I've been on it, it ran kinda rough, aka I got beat up.
i really want to go but i dont do so well with rattle coasters i get massive headaches and nausea 😭 any i coasters i should definitely avoid if i end up going?
Viper is a kick-ass ride. Hope I can ride it at Magic Mountain every year for another 15+ years.
Love your vids, dash!
Thanks man 🙌🏻
@@CoasterDash you're welcome.
Wonder Woman is by far my favorite because the decorations and how it goes up the hill quick❤😊
4:56
I totally agree. Scream is just hated on just because it’s a B&M and it has a small rattle. I’ve also heard that some B&M’s are forceless. Honestly, I’d much rather a coaster be forceless and still enjoyable, instead of a rough, unpleasant experience.
When I rode Scream last month, I had THREE hardcore grey outs. Scream is not at all what the community makes it out to be
@@CoasterDash Damn I wish I could come out to California because I want to go to Magic Mountain. I live in Georgia so that might be a long time before I ever get out there again.
YES! Finally someone that doesn't overrated Goliath bc it really isn't that good
have not been in like 5-6 years need to head back :)
On the turn right after the loop on full throttle, i grayed out, and i feel that not a lot of people talk about it. It is one of the most intense moments on the ride
It's interesting, because my experience with X2 was very different. I found the first drop very intense and enjoyable, and then after that it felt low thrill and disorienting for me.
1:02
I give Cedar Point the edge.
fair point 😂
Thanks!
I’m going next month, it’s been on my bucket list for some time, especially X2, Full Throttle, Goliath, Viper, Tatsu and Twisted Colosus.
I have ridden twisted colossus a few times. But there was only 1 one train out. Making it so it can’t duel! It was sad. But still a great ride!
Tatsu is amazing! My number one. However; I prefer goliath over X2. I love the start from X2 with the music and suspension but afterwards it really strains the neck. So it becomes more painful than enjoyable. Goliath doesn't do that and has great views and also calm parts. Full throttle is also amazing the music at the start and all of the surprises. It was my first ride at six flags and I really didn't expect it.
I disagree!
Just wondering, do you script your videos! Cause there amazing!
I do, thank you!
I got on X2 and I hate heights but for some crazy reason I still get on rides😅 holy moly this ride makes you feel like the pinball in the pinball machine !! If you are slightly afraid of rides if you get on Goliath then X2 man you will have a great day after in six flags 😂😂😂 those 2 rides that drop from Goliath and everything about X2 !! Oddly enough I love Tatsu that is my favorite ride but X2 makes me go to the bathroom before I get on 😂😂
Will be going there for the first time this coming up weekend from Colorado, can't wait since all the Colorado ones are wack af😂
ong bro. elitches gets more boring everytime you go 😂
I was just there 2 days ago on Saturday. Rides are amazing
They really are
Ninja is my favorite. I used to ride it when I worked their decades ago.
I’ve never been on dive Devil at magic mountain but I remember going on a school trip in 5th grade to Catalina Island in Cali and it had a similar ride in there and I remember it being quite fun. It was puzzling though because we were there to learn about see life and go kayaking and snorkeling and stuff 🤔😂
I literally saw that ride on Catalina as we were exploring in a golf cart that we rented out 😂
Scream has always been my fave
Magic Mountain has been my home Six Flags park for years and i’ve somehow never gone ): i need to make more friends who like roller coasters lmao
my top 10 (Havent ridden west coast racers so sorry if thats your favorite)
10.Goliath
9.Viper
8.Scream
7.Superman
6.Riddlers revenge
5.twisted colossus
4.Full throtle
3.Batman
2.X2
1.Tatsu
8:00 “as long as you know how to ride it”. Lmao could you explain how I should ride riddlers revenge? I’m a local and I’ve heard more than one instance of someone saying it can hurt your balls at times. Have you had this experience?
Goldstriker is one of the best rides ever!!! If you're at Great America soon, try that and Rail Blazer!
do you get a bunch of butterflies on the drop of twisted colossus?
You consider ghostrider a gci? By that logic so is wildcat at Lake Compounce, because gci gave that millennium flyers as well. It has a CCI layout and a CCI structure. It just has gci trains and some track installed by gci. Is new texas giant a gerstlauer? Is steel dragon 2000 a b&m? Trains don't change the manufacturer
Ghostrider is an entirely different experience post-refurb. the ride was never considered elite prior to this, so I think GCI is to credit here! :)
Coaster dash is becoming my favorite TH-camr here are the things he does the best at in all of TH-cam . Vlogs lists and energy coaster dash =most underated youtuber
🙌🏻🧡
twisted colossus had me ducking my head because it looked like I was about to hit my head against the support beams
West coast racers is really good and it feels like your in a real lotus driving fast on a highway
i’m going to six flags magic mountain tomorrow and i still don’t know if I should go on X2. I absolutely hated scream but i freaking loved twisted so i’m not sure if i would enjoy X2.
Batman THE RIDE is a very good coaster. definitely not the best at the park but it is awesome. Also, I just revisited a couple of days ago and when the brakes hit at the end there were sparks they ended up shutting down the ride right after that one
Awesome I want to go to six flags magic mountain
I’m going there on September 12 and I’m thinking to go to Batman what else should I go on?
My first ride was Full throttle and wow it just surprised me so much
SFMM has the best remaining Arrow collection out there both for coasters and everything else.
I love six flags I have been on almost all the rides
if you are riding viper it is a MAJOR difference between the front and back row. I recently got my first front row ride on it about a month ago and I was blown away.
I enjoy the back row the best tbh 😅
3:10 jeez So negative about Goliath. Lol. Amazing.
Loved twisted colossus, the negative G was good. loved Goliath, but mainly that first drop and going straight into the tunnel at the bottom, the rest was quite predictable. Tatsu was mint, as was x2, however I didnt like the way x2 knocked your head around. I did like how unpredictable it was though. West coast racers was good but not in the league of the others. Riddlers revenge was great. Didnt manage to do scream or viper due to engineering issues at the time. I didnt do crazy entity, but its the same as some others Ive done and they were good fun. I must have missed batman..... I need to go back but its a 14 hour journey. One day.
A+ video
I’ve gone on Riddlers Revenge before but not Scream. Riddlers Revenge is super loud and since Scream is also a B&M, is it just as loud? Great vid by the way.
Scream is not as loud but still somewhat loud
X2 looks godly I wanna ride it like now
it’s so ridiculous
even tho sfmm is my home park and i LOVE LOVE LOVE coasters, i’ve never ridden it bc it looks so terrifying
@@weirdbeetworld4914 trust me it ain’t scary. it’s jus the first stop and smooth sailing from there
@@Chris-hi1hf oh nice! i’m prob gonna go on it the next time i go
Man I’m so excited to go
Personally, the only thing that keeps me from completely loving X2 is the part at the end where your head gets smacked back into your seat really hard. Does anyone know how to keep this from happening? Are there certain seats where it is less likely? I would love to enjoy the coaster to it’s full extent
The front or “back”. Ridden there two times, and each time it feels like a huge force yet it never hurts.
I have another question hoping someone can answer, whats the earliest time I could get into the parking lot before the park opens? also how many days in advance i can purchase the ticket?
I’m not sure about the ladder but I have been in the parking lot a whole 2.5 hrs before covid. not because the lot was open yet, but because we were dropped off super early to take pictures of the coasters
X2 is still the only coaster that turns my stomach just watching the video...
I'm planning on visiting the park for the first time maybe in September, it will be for 1 day and on a Saturday. I was wondering which flash pass I should get? Do I really need to get the Platinum flash pass or the gold one will be good enough？ And also can you use the flash pass on the same ride more than once? Hopefully someone can answer the question for me. Thanks!
A Saturday in September sounds like living hell. Just go out and get the platinum tbh
edit: yes, you may. unless the website specifically says otherwise for certain rides
@@CoasterDash Thank you for replying.
Great list and Great video! I'd say if the trains don't go 400 ft it's not a Strata, if they do go 400 ft it's a Strata. Twisted Colossus seems like it would be my favorite to me. We could use a coaster like that in the eastern half of the country.
Thank you! Yeah, I understand that. My point in the video is that now, Superman IS getting to 400 feet every time :)
@@CoasterDash that's good! Well I guess it's a Strata now even though it wasn't before.
Congratulations on the views on this video! 🎉. I'd love to watch a Cedar Point video like this later this year. Maybe this could be your first 100 K watched video someday. I rewatched this video btw.
@@miked7212 thank you so much! considering the fact that i’ve ridden most of the flat rides at cp, this is a topic I will seriously consider
@@CoasterDash It would be a great video. I think some of your most watched videos are videos like this now. Maybe late this year and early next year do a bunch of videos similar to this of other parks you've been too. Cedar Point's would be a great watch.
X2 feels like a car accident
in the best way possible 😭
