To celebrate Halloween, here are the most DEMONIC coaster elements I've experienced. These are elements that are just messed up and the designers know it.
I went on X2 with my friend during a school field trip. Ive known my friend for a long time and SFMM was his first ever theme park. He is a very quiet person so I was already excited to see his reactions. We first went on Tatsu, which was his first ever roller coaster, and surprisingly, he didnt scream in fear, he actually enjoyed it. Towards the end of the day, we went on X2. When putting on the vest restraint, he was starting to get worried as he thought it wasnt tight enought. Ride attendant came, checked 2x, said he was fine. Once we were on the lift hill, he was getting even morw worried. Then came, THE DROP, it was insane and he screamed out of actual fear! I was scared too but after hearing him scream, I kept laughing throughout the ride. Best ride experience ever!
I like how basically all of these are Werner Stengel and Alan Schilke. Their both madmen and I love them for the insane crap they put on roller coasters.
X2 was and still is the only roller coaster to ever genuinely scare me, I took my first ride in the very last row, on the outside seat on the ride side, and it was the most intense thing ever, and I loved it
I love how, even when I only see it in a video, I can FEEL the force of the pretzel loop on Tatsu... I love the dive into it, but it feels like the bottom of it feels like it takes forever. 10/10, favorite coaster at SFMM. I haven't been on any other flying coasters, but I definitely feel as if nothing could compare to that one.
It's almost unbearable because not only is there a hard rattle right at the bottom, but the high G's cause your entire body to endure the full force of the vibration. I still love Tatsu a lot though :D
@@caydenwaltersmusic it's not tge bottom that gets me, it's the ascent back up from the bottom. Hated it the very first time, swore I wouldn't go on it again. Then I did when I went back, and I knew what to expect, and to brace myself, then I saw how enjoyable the first half of the loop was. It feels more intense than the helix on Goliath tbh.
That first drop on X2 is like no other. Just as you get to the bottom, you roll over on your back! And that pretzel dive loop on Tatsu feels like a ton of G's while on your back. 2 of the best coasters in the US.
When I was at Kings Dominion in August, it started raining while I was waiting in line for Twisted Timbers. I closed my eyes when I got on because I knew from experience that being hit by rain on a rollercoaster can be extremely painful. Honestly, riding Twisted Timbers with my eyes shut was one of the scariest experiences I’ve had on any roller coaster in recent memory. Even though I was familiar with the layout (this was the fifth time I rode it that day), I couldn’t prepare myself for any of the airtime moments. Each time we got to one it felt like I was being dragged down further and further into the pits of hell. Kinda tempted to try it again on another ride
That pretzel loop on tatsu is insane. I took my cousin from Australia on this ride and his reaction to it was hilarious. "what the hell just happened?"
fuck that ride tho it tried to kill me. i used to laugh at people who would tell me the restraints opened on them. cus like how unrealistic is that right? and then it fucking happened to me....
OKonMotorsports I’m not too skinny but I do have skinny legs which plays a huge factor in how much airtime you get. The only thing that stops me from flying out is when my legs hit the lap bar. Surprisingly, I’ve seen kids who were like 4ft tall ride it and they manage to still stay in the train.
Alex Lubbers when it opened, the first half used to be faster and the 2nd half used to be slower, now they added friction to the wheels and disabled the trim brakes. So now the first half is slower and the 2nd half is a bit faster
1. The corkscrew drop on Drachen Fire. 2. The space dives on Flashback at SF Magic Mountain. 3. The loop on Son of Beast. 4. The inversions on Steel Phantom. 5. The helix on the Giovanola Goliath clones before they made the train come to a complete stop at the MCBR.
I’ve ridden X, before it was redone and that ride was revolutionary for sure. The first time you hit that drop is pretty insane. Tatsu almost stops your heart on the pretzel look. It’s pretty crushing and I’ve only ridden it once.
This is the only TH-cam channel I have push notifications enabled for and I don't think I'll ever turn them off. The quality of content is just too good.
100% agree with you on #1. X2 is on a whole different level and pretty much the definition of insane. It’s terrifying but so, so good at the same time.
Tatsu is a top favorite ride, and the pretzel loop is an absolutely amazing element. It really feels like you're diving headfirst to the ground before flying up and away. I love flying coasters.
I was all ready to comment that the Lagoon Roll needs to be on this list. Well played Sir, well played. Also glad to see Cannibal's drop made the list. Underrated element though; the elevator lift. Not only is it super rare, but arguably the scariest part. They purposefully have the elevator lean back and forth, so you think something is wrong the first time you ride it.
Some other demonic elements: LRod's quad down Jack Rabbit's double down Alpengeist's cobra roll Montu's batwing Pheonix's airtime finale Expedition geforce's first drop Twisted timbers' twisted airtime hill under the lift SteVe's second outer banked airtime hill Twisted Cyclone's wave turn Blue Fire's final barrel roll Dodonpa's launch
Somehow, you can put like -3 to 7.5 vertical g’s in planet coaster and guest will still ride it, when in reality those forces would cause blackout, back damage, and could kill riders if the force was sustained for long enough.
@@charliegriswold1445 Yeah, but you gotta remember who's playing the game the most. Most people who play it would find it REALLY hard to stay within realistic limits, so the game is pretty forgiving with the force limits.
Tatsu's pretzel loop is well deserved on this list. I had never never of tatsu when i first rode it but that pretzel loop was one of the most memorable things from my trip to magic mountain
Love this video. Gave me coasters to put on my list and got me pumped for when Six Flags Magic Mountain opens back up. I call those demonic moments my "oh shit!" Moments. 🤣🤣🤣
i rode tatsu, and the loop felt like it was way longer than it actually is. it felt like a fridge was pressing down on your chest but you could still scream, it felt so insane edit: x2! it was one of the last coasters i rode at SFMM before leaving. the first drop was thrilling and terrifying, because even if you know the first smaller drop is there, it still feels like its going to be a massive drop at first, then it surprises you afterwards with the second drop going down, it was awesome!
I can vouch for the fact that Intimidator 305 can still make you blackout if you're not ready for it. I usually ride in the front few seats, but over the summer I scored a walk-on near the back. I remember the drop, and then I woke up thinking "why am I dreaming about being on a rollercoaster?" It was legitimately terrifying as I've never lost consciousness like that before. I guess I must not have had enough to eat or drink that afternoon and my blood pressure was lower than normal. I'll still ride it again next time I go!
I rode I305 this summer as well, not knowing a whole lot about it. Got the back row on my first ride and grayed out pretty well. I rode it one more time in the front and I was more prepared for the intensity. Its not something I could do over and over again, but I'll be back to ride again sooner or later. I'm really bummed I missed the Volcano launch though.
Rode Volcano when I was in advance training for the army, I do not regret it at all. Very upset that they removed it but so glad I was able to ride it once in my lifetime
X2 for sure is #1, For anyone that hasn't been on it, prepare yourself, as soon as you hit the first drop you lose your sense of direction. Crazy scary but fun at the same time. This is not a coaster for everyone. This is the only ride I get butterflies just before I ride it even though I've lost count of how many times I've been on it :) I still think everyone should experience this ride once. I don't know how long my home park will continue to maintain this ride as parts are hard to find now.
I’ve been on X2 probably close to 30 times and I still get that classic sweaty hand , butterfly feeling every time it pulls out of the station and “it had to be you” starts playing. The drop and first raven turn are nuts
If restraints could be counted as an element, I would put those hard-ass restraints on Discovery Kingdom's Kong on here. I don't know if they've changed them since I've been there, but the ones that I experienced must have been designed by Satan himself.
I’m so proud of magic mountain i go there about twice a year cuz I live 3 hours from there and I’m just happy that’s it’s one of the best theme parks in the U.S
Awesome to see my boi Cannibal getting 2 spots on this list! It's one of the most wild coasters I've been on. Yes, Shellraiser is steeper, but Cannibal is still the tallest roller coaster in the world with a beyond vertical drop.
UK-based riders will likely be familiar with the insanity of Nemesis at Alton Towers, but the Zero-G roll straight out of the helix is absolutely a demonic element, brought to us by the madlad that is John Wardley. The dramatic shift in positive to negative Gs is just... bonkers.
Number 11 on this list really reminds me of what it was like to ride the "Great American Dream" at Six Flags Over Georgia. There was lots of small airtime hills that really roughed you up.
I went on Intimidator 305 when it first opened, before the revisions. My friend and I waited for the front, and we both blacked out for pretty much the rest of the ride after the turn. I’m honestly glad they fixed it.
I swear they sped the beast up! Also it's terrifying to watch your tall friends raise their arms on that helix only to put them down RIGHT before the beams would have amputated them
Thanks for the love for the PNE/Playland's coaster. It's what would be considered my home park and I remember riding that thing with my dad when I was young. I made the mistake, once, of sitting on the outside of my dad. He was 200lbs or so, I was maybe 50lbs. Ouch! Gotta love the '80s! To this day I still feel like i'm going to fall out of the train and the lap bar is at least 6" from my legs! The lift hill might be even more demonic after it has aged, you don't roll up it, you float.
X2 is the only ride of these I went on I would also add the vertical drop in pitch black darkness of "Fluch von Novgorod" and the seesaw tilt element on "Winjas" spinning coaster
I've been on 3 of the ones listed. Tatsu, X2, and Xcellerator are all on my favorites list. I regret not riding Cannibal at Lagoon while I was there. I was feeling sick at the end of the day and didn't get to it.
The POVs of The Beast never do that helix justice. It earned the name "the most terrifying finale to any roller coaster" and I agree. It's LOUD, it's VIOLENT, and unless you've experienced it yourself, you have no idea. The hill leading into it slowly tilts sideways as you go down, which is also a very unique element and it builds a sickening anticipation for what's about to hit you.
The noise is never emphasized enough. It's such a sudden cacophony of screeching metal and screeching people. Combined with the sudden darkness, and it certainly is memorable.
I've been on the woody at Playland. The entire ride is crazy rough in that classic wooden roller coaster way. You really feel like you're barely staying on the track, and I distinctly remember gripping that lap bar for dear life.
All of el Torro’s airtime is demonic. I was practically standing when I rode it and that was my first ejector experience. I also totally agree with you about I305’s first turn. Rhough I’d add the 3 super whippy banked turns to my list. I haven’t ridden most of the other coasters on your list but they’re all on my bucketlist. I’d also add Kah’s launch and Twisted Timbers’ airtime in the back row at night in the rain.
I try so HARD to keep my hands up on X2 , but halfway down that drop, I holding on for dear life !! And the pretzel loop on Tatsu, is super awesome too
Dude great choices and great music. I really need to get to Magic Mountain and Cedar Point after this pandemic BS. Never been to either. Tatsu looks nuts!
Sadly closed now due to very high parts and maintenance costs but I absolutely loved (not everyone did!) the crazy lift hill /drop of G Force at Drayton Manor- the unique sensation of the lift hill chain ending partway through an inversion (vertical loop) so that you were basically launched like you were falling backwards head first and arching over was as awesome as it was unique- very intense and high pressure, hence not to everyone's taste, but I totally loved it and hope it returns on a future coaster in some way. We're so used to conventional elements these unusual ones give that bit of brain scrambling gravity remixing fun where you just know how unique the particular sensations you're experiencing are. Surprise playful elements are fun too, such as The Smiler's early inversion and even the minor ones such as Shockwave's fake first drop before the real one. More of this please designer peeps!
I have to go with the smiler's first heartline roll, in the station there's just this void that the trains go into when they dispatch and inside of it is just a steep banked turn into a heartline roll in the dark with a few strobe lights, really good part of the ride
Without thinking about a specific order: The Headchopper Airtime Moment near the end of Untamed: The ride dives into the Support Structure with Headchoppers that look really uncomfortably close and for whatever, insane reason they have a really strong ejector moment in that mess. Taron's Airtime-Transition out of a Tunnel: Following the first turn Taron dives into a Left Turn-Tunnel and then goes uphill in the same Turn, the moment you exit the tunnel the track features a whippy transition into a right-turn while leveling out at the same time. This results in a Ejector Moment while changing direction at full speed. Because it is at the end of a dark Tunnel you really don't see this coming. The Launch on Novgorod: Like all Gertlauer Launch Coasters Novgorod has a small drop before the Launchtrack. In Novgorods case this happens in pitch black darkness after a Dark Ride section. The little drop happens out of nowhere, you are then launched forwards with unrivaled intensity when it comes to LSM launches. The entire Launch Track is in complete Darkness and at the end of the launch is a uphill right turn that finally shoots you out of the building and into an airtime hill. that you still can't see because at the time the airtime kicks in your eyes are still trying to adjust to the daylight again. The entire 2nd half of Monster at Walygator: This B&M Invert is a clone of Raptor at Cedar Point. Walygator bought this coaster used from Japans Expoland. In France someone, for whatever reason (Probably to save on cost of actually being able to use it) decided that they wouldn't install the Block Brakes. They assembled the Evacuation / Service Platform complete with the ladder, but no brakes where ever installed. While it means that they wouldn't be able to run the coaster with 3 Trains (which to be fair wouldn't have happened anyway as attendance there is usually too low to justify even running 2 Trains) it would also mean that there is no way to use the Block Brake as a means of Trimming the Speed down. The result is a very Intense 2nd half, the final Helix even has the potential to grey some people out.
As someone who got to ride Intimidator 305 before they raised the end of the first turn and added brakes to the drop, I can confirm that it would be #1 on this list. However I think some people actually could have gotten injured.
Honestly I believe the reason why that first drop on time traveler catches so many people off guard is because people aren’t used to just starting off a coaster plummeting down from the start. It’s a very opposite experience from what people are used to with a roller coaster starting out going up instead of down first
Would love to see a revised version of this list after you’ve been through Northern Europe. This was arguably the video that got me into coasters, I used this as a checklist of sorts.
I think most would agree, the demonic elements are why we ride coasters! Like some others have mentioned l would love to see more videos about this topic. Awesome video!

Going to theme parks with friends is always the best experience!
And here we see the classic transition from GP to minor enthusiast.
jobanireyes its a very good ride i have a gut felling you and your friend had a hamburger after 🍔 i had beer 🍺
I like how basically all of these are Werner Stengel and Alan Schilke. Their both madmen and I love them for the insane crap they put on roller coasters.
Ryan Rapp of course nobody is perfect. Schilkie designed S&S woodies like Hell Cat and Stengel designed the Volare.
It may also speak to their inability or unwillingness to learn anything about physics.
X2 was and still is the only roller coaster to ever genuinely scare me, I took my first ride in the very last row, on the outside seat on the ride side, and it was the most intense thing ever, and I loved it
sregoR_nedorB_Backwards then imagine ejineika 😨
Kromaa k I can’t even imagine surviving the flight to Japan 😂 the longest flight I’ve been on was from Atlanta to San Diego and it was brutal 😂
I clambered onto my restraints during kärnan , it’s the most intense German coaster .
sregoR_nedorB_Backwards my most recent flight was 14 hours 😣
I wish they would get the audio and flamethrower effect working consistently on X2. That makes an already great ride awesome!
I love how, even when I only see it in a video, I can FEEL the force of the pretzel loop on Tatsu...
I love the dive into it, but it feels like the bottom of it feels like it takes forever. 10/10, favorite coaster at SFMM. I haven't been on any other flying coasters, but I definitely feel as if nothing could compare to that one.
SaveTheParsley It’s like a upside down freefall for right
@@BUBBABAN9TYMMY I feel like I'm getting a back adjustment from a sketchy chiropractor 😂
It's almost unbearable because not only is there a hard rattle right at the bottom, but the high G's cause your entire body to endure the full force of the vibration. I still love Tatsu a lot though :D
@@caydenwaltersmusic it's not tge bottom that gets me, it's the ascent back up from the bottom. Hated it the very first time, swore I wouldn't go on it again. Then I did when I went back, and I knew what to expect, and to brace myself, then I saw how enjoyable the first half of the loop was. It feels more intense than the helix on Goliath tbh.
@@SaveTheParsley Yeah the ascent has the worst g forces especially if you're in the front. I just hate the rattle combined with the g forces.
I like how the list is 13 places
Beanie Monster should’ve been 6
Luke Williams that would’ve been too short.
Luke Williams 13 Is more of a demonic number
Beanie Monster I would’ve done too 666, but that would’ve been too much.
@@RollTerps you are wrong it is 12 places
Would tempestos comfort collars count cuz those came straight from hell
ExACTLY
Christian Farrace str8 fax
not that bad
Airtime Myke would agree
Your pronouncing tempasta sauce wrong
X2 100% deserves that spot!
Same with Tatsu that pretzel loop is nuts!
Agreed!
All of X2
Think X2 is demented? Try Eejanaika. It takes insanity to a whole new level.
@@Strutsss dude fr. X2 is my number 4, Eejanaika just might be my number 1, even beating SteVe and El Toro
That first drop on X2 is like no other. Just as you get to the bottom, you roll over on your back! And that pretzel dive loop on Tatsu feels like a ton of G's while on your back. 2 of the best coasters in the US.

Kinda tempted to try it again on another ride
*it’s all fun and games untill satan starts to make the ride*
Didn’t know US Togo raised from the dead!
For a demonic element, the Vekoma Butterfly should be on this list
That pretzel loop on tatsu is insane. I took my cousin from Australia on this ride and his reaction to it was hilarious. "what the hell just happened?"
Last airtime hill on Runaway Mine Train at SF Great Adv: am I a joke to you?
that hill made the lap bar punch my balls and make me vomit
I knew i shouldnt have skipped this last time I went to GADV
fuck that ride tho it tried to kill me. i used to laugh at people who would tell me the restraints opened on them. cus like how unrealistic is that right? and then it fucking happened to me....
that airtime hill is absolutely bonkers. and the helix tosses you around because the trackwork isn't even.
When i rode it someone lost their phone on that hill not joking
I’ve ridden “Coaster” over 800 times and the airtime still feels insane. If you ride hands up, expect to be lifted about a foot.
You must be skinny if you're floating a foot! There is no way that thing could exist in the USA with such loose lap bars!
OKonMotorsports I’m not too skinny but I do have skinny legs which plays a huge factor in how much airtime you get. The only thing that stops me from flying out is when my legs hit the lap bar. Surprisingly, I’ve seen kids who were like 4ft tall ride it and they manage to still stay in the train.
Coaster is my all time favorite roller coaster. the airtime is just insane and it's so much fun.
Alex Lubbers when it opened, the first half used to be faster and the 2nd half used to be slower, now they added friction to the wheels and disabled the trim brakes. So now the first half is slower and the 2nd half is a bit faster
The tatsu pretzel loop is amazing
1. The corkscrew drop on Drachen Fire.
2. The space dives on Flashback at SF Magic Mountain.
3. The loop on Son of Beast.
4. The inversions on Steel Phantom.
5. The helix on the Giovanola Goliath clones before they made the train come to a complete stop at the MCBR.
If S&S can bring back the Drachen Fire drop then I want to see more element resurrections.
@@DoswarePictures It's not the same element, though, it's just similar in that it's an inversion partway down the drop.
@@MattMcIrvin I guess, though the element on Steel Curtain is literally called the Drachen Fire Drop.
That...that pretzel loop on tatsu jesus I’ve never experienced anything so gut wrenching so quick so unforgiving
Tatsu's pretzel loop is especially demonic in the very back row.
Honorable Mention: Irat’s first drop in the back row and/or the final dive off the query
I’ve ridden X, before it was redone and that ride was revolutionary for sure. The first time you hit that drop is pretty insane. Tatsu almost stops your heart on the pretzel look. It’s pretty crushing and I’ve only ridden it once.

Honestly ur correct
100% agree with you on #1. X2 is on a whole different level and pretty much the definition of insane. It’s terrifying but so, so good at the same time.
Well it just means you can ride any ride now
I have experienced 4 out of the 13 on this list. They are the lagoon roll, the drop on cannibal, the pretzel loop on Tatsu, and the drop on X2
Same! They're all insanely awesomely EPIC and GLORIOUS!
Tatsu is a top favorite ride, and the pretzel loop is an absolutely amazing element. It really feels like you're diving headfirst to the ground before flying up and away. I love flying coasters.
That Tatsu pretzel loop is beyond intense. I love it!
I was all ready to comment that the Lagoon Roll needs to be on this list. Well played Sir, well played.
Also glad to see Cannibal's drop made the list.
Underrated element though; the elevator lift. Not only is it super rare, but arguably the scariest part. They purposefully have the elevator lean back and forth, so you think something is wrong the first time you ride it.
Joshua Davidson I wanna see more elevator lift coasters, especially with strange effects.
Some other demonic elements:
LRod's quad down
Jack Rabbit's double down
Alpengeist's cobra roll
Montu's batwing
Pheonix's airtime finale
Expedition geforce's first drop
Twisted timbers' twisted airtime hill under the lift
SteVe's second outer banked airtime hill
Twisted Cyclone's wave turn
Blue Fire's final barrel roll
Dodonpa's launch
When you realize how old the Jack Rabbit is, that drop is fantastic
@@theodoreperkoski1951 Yeah, Jack Rabbit is 100 years old now this year and it still has one of the craziest elements of any coaster after 100 years.
CoasterGlitch what about trimless Voyage at night?
@@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239 Trimless voyage at night isn't an element
CoasterGlitch true, but I still consider it demonic
The backwards launch on SFMM's Full Throttle really caught me off guard.
Love the originality of your videos. Keep making more great vids.
Jack Rabbit's double down with nothing but a loose seat belt. Ryan was scared to throw his hands up last time we rode it. #Eltorobitch

Planet coaster: Your ride exceeds g-force limits!
Somehow, you can put like -3 to 7.5 vertical g’s in planet coaster and guest will still ride it, when in reality those forces would cause blackout, back damage, and could kill riders if the force was sustained for long enough.
@@charliegriswold1445 Yeah, but you gotta remember who's playing the game the most. Most people who play it would find it REALLY hard to stay within realistic limits, so the game is pretty forgiving with the force limits.

Tatsu's pretzel loop is well deserved on this list. I had never never of tatsu when i first rode it but that pretzel loop was one of the most memorable things from my trip to magic mountain
I'm very happy Tatsu is on this list, because they way you enter that pretzel loop in itself is absolutely demonic
Love this video. Gave me coasters to put on my list and got me pumped for when Six Flags Magic Mountain opens back up. I call those demonic moments my "oh shit!" Moments. 🤣🤣🤣
i rode tatsu, and the loop felt like it was way longer than it actually is. it felt like a fridge was pressing down on your chest but you could still scream, it felt so insane

I rode it one more time in the front and I was more prepared for the intensity. Its not something I could do over and over again, but I'll be back to ride again sooner or later. I'm really bummed I missed the Volcano launch though.
I think the loop on batwing is pretty insane, comparable to a pretzel loop
The last time I rode Tatsu I almost puked that loop is no joke - you can never be prepared for it
X-2 drop is intense
I keep my hands up on X2's first drop
Andrew Lindquist metoo
Oof I can’t even put my hands up on the entire ride
Coaster Fusion x2 isn’t really the type of coaster you put your hands up on
He is an official mad man...
My default position on any coaster involves me raising my hands. Even somehow during Xcelerator's launch, I can't resist.
Rode Volcano when I was in advance training for the army, I do not regret it at all. Very upset that they removed it but so glad I was able to ride it once in my lifetime
X2 for sure is #1, For anyone that hasn't been on it, prepare yourself, as soon as you hit the first drop you lose your sense of direction. Crazy scary but fun at the same time. This is not a coaster for everyone. This is the only ride I get butterflies just before I ride it even though I've lost count of how many times I've been on it :) I still think everyone should experience this ride once. I don't know how long my home park will continue to maintain this ride as parts are hard to find now.
I’ve been on X2 probably close to 30 times and I still get that classic sweaty hand , butterfly feeling every time it pulls out of the station and “it had to be you” starts playing. The drop and first raven turn are nuts
I’ve been on X2 over 15 times and it still terrifies me
The demonic knot on Flug der Dämonen!!
Yes! the 2nd half of Coaster at Playland is absolutely nuts. It's my favorite coaster i've ridden and would love to go again.

Awesome to see my boi Cannibal getting 2 spots on this list! It's one of the most wild coasters I've been on. Yes, Shellraiser is steeper, but Cannibal is still the tallest roller coaster in the world with a beyond vertical drop.
UK-based riders will likely be familiar with the insanity of Nemesis at Alton Towers, but the Zero-G roll straight out of the helix is absolutely a demonic element, brought to us by the madlad that is John Wardley. The dramatic shift in positive to negative Gs is just... bonkers.
Number 11 on this list really reminds me of what it was like to ride the "Great American Dream" at Six Flags Over Georgia. There was lots of small airtime hills that really roughed you up.
I went on Intimidator 305 when it first opened, before the revisions. My friend and I waited for the front, and we both blacked out for pretty much the rest of the ride after the turn. I’m honestly glad they fixed it.
I swear they sped the beast up! Also it's terrifying to watch your tall friends raise their arms on that helix only to put them down RIGHT before the beams would have amputated them
The drop on Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers
Most demonic element I have done? The lift hill on my local kiddie coaster.
Thanks for the love for the PNE/Playland's coaster. It's what would be considered my home park and I remember riding that thing with my dad when I was young. I made the mistake, once, of sitting on the outside of my dad. He was 200lbs or so, I was maybe 50lbs. Ouch! Gotta love the '80s! To this day I still feel like i'm going to fall out of the train and the lap bar is at least 6" from my legs! The lift hill might be even more demonic after it has aged, you don't roll up it, you float.
What about those 5.5G loops on Mindbender( The Canadian one)
So demonic that they killed 3 people
@@cancercentral9997 the 3 deaths came from a derailment not the loop itself
@@stfjinkiojd I know
Surprised that the Quad Down element on Lightning Rod wasnt on this list.
X2 is absolutely wild. I think worse than the face first drop is the being tilted backwards over the edge before the seats flip on the drop
I've ridden X2 probably 50 times and it still terrifies me. The audio saying "man, we are hiiiiigh up" as your cresting the lift is savage.
Interesting list idea, I'm betting the near misses on dueling dragons were pretty demonic
X2 is the only ride of these I went on
I would also add the vertical drop in pitch black darkness of "Fluch von Novgorod"
and the seesaw tilt element on "Winjas" spinning coaster
Awesome to see The Beast on here!
I would’ve put Diamondback on the list because a coaster of the same model used to operate at King Island as Screamin Demon.
Dosware Pictures actually Screamin Demon was an Arrow shuttle loop while Diamondback is a B&M Hyper Coaster
Kings Island Fanboy I’m talking about Diamondback at Frontier City, which used to be at Six Flags Great Adventure.
Dosware Pictures oh sorry. Thanks for clarifying!
Kings Island Fanboy it’s a shame Screamin Demon was scrapped in the John Denver state in 2004.
Normal companies: let’s build something the people want!! Arrrow: okay satan we are building the carnival ride from hell at mm
God, I have to be real, that intamin is my favourite of all time.
The shvvvvrrrrr of the ride sounds.
God so good.
I love the pretzel loop on tatsu it's so forceful
I've been on 3 of the ones listed. Tatsu, X2, and Xcellerator are all on my favorites list. I regret not riding Cannibal at Lagoon while I was there. I was feeling sick at the end of the day and didn't get to it.
The most demonic element:
#1 Eating taco bell at the park and ride any coaster
The POVs of The Beast never do that helix justice. It earned the name "the most terrifying finale to any roller coaster" and I agree.
It's LOUD, it's VIOLENT, and unless you've experienced it yourself, you have no idea.
The hill leading into it slowly tilts sideways as you go down, which is also a very unique element and it builds a sickening anticipation for what's about to hit you.
The noise is never emphasized enough. It's such a sudden cacophony of screeching metal and screeching people. Combined with the sudden darkness, and it certainly is memorable.
I've been on the woody at Playland.
The entire ride is crazy rough in that classic wooden roller coaster way. You really feel like you're barely staying on the track, and I distinctly remember gripping that lap bar for dear life.
All of el Torro’s airtime is demonic. I was practically standing when I rode it and that was my first ejector experience. I also totally agree with you about I305’s first turn. Rhough I’d add the 3 super whippy banked turns to my list. I haven’t ridden most of the other coasters on your list but they’re all on my bucketlist. I’d also add Kah’s launch and Twisted Timbers’ airtime in the back row at night in the rain.
I try so HARD to keep my hands up on X2 , but halfway down that drop, I holding on for dear life !!
And the pretzel loop on Tatsu, is super awesome too
Me: *doesnt even ride rollercoasters* why am I even watching these ?
Also me: *okay next one*
me 2
Nothing like watching airtime thrills on Halloween
This list should also include any and all truck track elements on RMCs. Those are no joke.
I love the intro! Awesome editing!! 👍👍
Dude great choices and great music. I really need to get to Magic Mountain and Cedar Point after this pandemic BS. Never been to either. Tatsu looks nuts!
Iron Gwazi’s zero g roll will probably fall under this category
Another demonic element Arrow came up with was the 150ft. tall quasi-corkscrew element on Drachen Fire. That was an intense ride !!
watching the rolling thunder hill on El Toro off-ride makes it literally look like an animation
The pretzel loop on Tatsu was a big "oh shit" moment for me! You come around the turn and it comes virtually out of nowhere.
I love how your videos always pop up from 2 years or one year ago that I’ve never seen .
Heard of the Devil coaster? I heard it goes 666 mph. 😈
Coaster Fusion the devil’s coaster is the Batman clone in Japan (Taylor’s 666th credit)
You mean Diavlo
Dosware Pictures lol
British Thrillseeker yes
I heard it had the tagline of "sending people straight to hell"
I wished you had 💯 million subscribers like PewDiePie or T-series, or even more, 200 million subscribers. You are the best TH-camr ever.
Sadly closed now due to very high parts and maintenance costs but I absolutely loved (not everyone did!) the crazy lift hill /drop of G Force at Drayton Manor- the unique sensation of the lift hill chain ending partway through an inversion (vertical loop) so that you were basically launched like you were falling backwards head first and arching over was as awesome as it was unique- very intense and high pressure, hence not to everyone's taste, but I totally loved it and hope it returns on a future coaster in some way. We're so used to conventional elements these unusual ones give that bit of brain scrambling gravity remixing fun where you just know how unique the particular sensations you're experiencing are. Surprise playful elements are fun too, such as The Smiler's early inversion and even the minor ones such as Shockwave's fake first drop before the real one. More of this please designer peeps!
I have to go with the smiler's first heartline roll, in the station there's just this void that the trains go into when they dispatch and inside of it is just a steep banked turn into a heartline roll in the dark with a few strobe lights, really good part of the ride
Without thinking about a specific order:
The Headchopper Airtime Moment near the end of Untamed: The ride dives into the Support Structure with Headchoppers that look really uncomfortably close and for whatever, insane reason they have a really strong ejector moment in that mess.
Taron's Airtime-Transition out of a Tunnel: Following the first turn Taron dives into a Left Turn-Tunnel and then goes uphill in the same Turn, the moment you exit the tunnel the track features a whippy transition into a right-turn while leveling out at the same time. This results in a Ejector Moment while changing direction at full speed. Because it is at the end of a dark Tunnel you really don't see this coming.
The Launch on Novgorod: Like all Gertlauer Launch Coasters Novgorod has a small drop before the Launchtrack. In Novgorods case this happens in pitch black darkness after a Dark Ride section. The little drop happens out of nowhere, you are then launched forwards with unrivaled intensity when it comes to LSM launches. The entire Launch Track is in complete Darkness and at the end of the launch is a uphill right turn that finally shoots you out of the building and into an airtime hill. that you still can't see because at the time the airtime kicks in your eyes are still trying to adjust to the daylight again.
The entire 2nd half of Monster at Walygator: This B&M Invert is a clone of Raptor at Cedar Point. Walygator bought this coaster used from Japans Expoland. In France someone, for whatever reason (Probably to save on cost of actually being able to use it) decided that they wouldn't install the Block Brakes. They assembled the Evacuation / Service Platform complete with the ladder, but no brakes where ever installed. While it means that they wouldn't be able to run the coaster with 3 Trains (which to be fair wouldn't have happened anyway as attendance there is usually too low to justify even running 2 Trains) it would also mean that there is no way to use the Block Brake as a means of Trimming the Speed down. The result is a very Intense 2nd half, the final Helix even has the potential to grey some people out.
And this is why I consider vertical inclines a hard limit
It’s too bad Arrow Dynamics couldn’t expand their popularity on the 4D freespins🤔
As someone who got to ride Intimidator 305 before they raised the end of the first turn and added brakes to the drop, I can confirm that it would be #1 on this list. However I think some people actually could have gotten injured.
Honestly I believe the reason why that first drop on time traveler catches so many people off guard is because people aren’t used to just starting off a coaster plummeting down from the start. It’s a very opposite experience from what people are used to with a roller coaster starting out going up instead of down first
My pick would be the launch on Rock n Roller Coaster at Disney Hollywood Studios, I was completely unprepared for it and nearly shit myself
Would love to see a revised version of this list after you’ve been through Northern Europe. This was arguably the video that got me into coasters, I used this as a checklist of sorts.
I think most would agree, the demonic elements are why we ride coasters! Like some others have mentioned l would love to see more videos about this topic. Awesome video!
Another reason why I love the 270 degree twist on dragster and kinda ka is because of the cool head chopper with the support structure.
Nice Halloween special
Kärnan surprise is probably worthy of a spot, it’s so strange being Stucked on a 90 degree lift , it’s purely diabolical.
