Best States For Roller Coasters - Part One (#50-#41)

Those that have known me for the last 7 years know I have, obviously, grown obsessed with roller coasters. Those than have known me for the last 25-30 years? They know I have always loved geography! Especially the unique differences and intricacies of the 50 states here in the US. Therefore, it was always inevitable that I would one day produce content combining the two. Over a series of 5 videos, join me as I rank all 50 states based on how good their specific roller coaster collection is! It for sure won't be based on quantity alone, when in actuality, there will be way more emphasis on quality. We're, of course, going to start from the bottom with this first episode, #50 through #41, and will slowly work our way up to the Top 10 over the next four episodes. Enjoy!

Other videos or articles about "coaster states" skip over the ones with just kiddie coasters or alpine coasters...but not Coaster 365! This is the level of detail and accuracy that fans of this channel have come to expect. (Plus, I'm not worried about where my home state will rank.)

Delaware is maybe the most extreme disparity between the dismal situation within the state borders and the bonanza outside of them. Wilmington would actually be an amazing place for a coaster enthusiast to live as long as you can manage a couple hours' drive. You've got Hersheypark, Dorney, Six Flags Great Adventure, the Jersey shore, Coney Island and Six Flags America within that orbit, and Knoebels and Kings Dominion just a little further out.

Definitely had all of those same books and puzzles growing up! Thanks for the nostalgia trip lol.

I’ve been to 48 states (all but AK and HI) and have been to parks in Minnesota, Virginia, California, Michigan, and most recently Tennessee.

thanks! great vid, cant wait for the next 4!

[@zarrblade9360]

I’m excited to see the next video 😮

[@henryprendergast6091]

I really wish rocky point was still around. I'm too young to have gone and only know it from the XC races there, but it would be awesome being so close to a park. It's still cool to see tho with signs showing wat was there and also still being able to see the railroad track from an old train ride that used to be there.

Great job with this video! As a skyline enthusiast first and foremost I really appreciate the aerial shots and paused to admire a few. I'm also an older rider finding their (re)enthusiasm. I'm 42 and my coaster count is only 30 after about a 12 year hiatus, although I expect 50+ by the end of this year and avoid the kiddie/wild mouse/family/spinners, so only going for quality. I yelled myself hoarse a few weeks ago going hands-up in the back row on Wicked Cyclone which I'm sure you can appreciate! Looking forward to the rest of these! I'm guessing Massachusetts clocks in between 16-20.

Purely Amazing. Being from outside of United States, I learned about geography AND coasters. I can now die happy

[@oregoncoasterenthusiast8564]

I'm a geography nerd too, sounds like you pretty much described myself with the state capitals. I got my fair share of Rand McNally atlases 🤣 I'm also at 38/50 states too! Can't wait to see the rest of the list. Glad my state is not in the bottom 10 haha, I do expect it to appear soon though.

Hawaii may not have a permanent coaster, but they do have a Wisdom Jungle Twist through EK Fernandez Amusements for their carnivals...

[@kev492001]

Nice video can't wait to see where my home state Ohio ranks in your opinion, we have 2 of the best parks in the country, the state is working on major renovation projects in many downtown areas, and a few other plans to help expand the tourism business here. Subscribed :)

[@alantrotter2077]

Surprised Kansas with only kid credits is in the top 40. Funny I’ve been to 38 states as well and have always enjoyed maps as well. Must be a common theme among coaster enthusiasts. We won’t have the same 38 as I’m missing 4 from the northeast.

[@seasaltlover]

Hawaii may not have coasters but we have wet n wild on Oahu. Waterslides aren't too off. Aloha from Honolulu 🤙

[@MaJoRMJR]

Louisiana is the only surprise state on this segment of the list (you would expect it to have more coasters than they do)

[@joesmo4377]

The low single rider coasters in Wyoming and Montana adds an extra excitement.... mountain lions chasing you for the kill.

[@StamfordBridge]

I have 46 state creds. I’ll get a +1 this summer.

[@bongobiggoose]

I expect number 1 to be either Florida or Ohio because they both have amazing parks in their borders and some decent scenery around the state as well.
