2018 was a mic drop year for RMC!
They blew everyone away with Steel Vengence, debuted their raptor model to rave reviews, and still converted 2 additional woodies into hybrids.
RMC went into the 2010s as an underdog and came out of the decade rollin' with the big boys!
They debuted the Raptor 5 years ago? I feel so old 😭
Really was a banner year for RMC. At my home park (Kings Dominion) the converted woodie became Twisted Timbers, which is probably one of the most acclaimed coasters in the park now. Truly an amazing transformation, especially if you were familiar with the roughness of the woodie it was (Hurler).
Airtime thrills is always the best way to end the day
nateferg 52 it’s only 5 for me
Your not too far off
Or start a day! Or any time of the day tbh
Watching at 11:29 PM.

"A piece'O'crap skyline"
lol yeah that was a dig!
@jake mckitchen
I actually laughed out loud when he said that
Rewound 3 times like wtf???
Thought maybe it was something he saw at an IAAPA convention before it hit me
They can’t do el cheapo!
me: hasn't even watched the video
also me: already knows that New Texas Giant will be 1st place
I just cant wait for iron gwazi
Caderjames I wish they would release a POV from its test runs
@@johnepants czcams.com/video/Cn8nk7_HHo4/video.html
That’s me
lol yeah
I would say Steel Vengeance is more important than just showing cedar fairs interest in RMC but rather it was the first rmc hyper hybrid and resulted in rides like Zadra and Iron Gwazi.
Ryan Strembicki and also put Zadra as an honorable mention because how early it opened even with the hiccups.
3:00 Cannibal also broke the mold of "inversions don't belong on hyper coasters", showcasing what weird inversion shaping could be done with hyper heights, while still having lap bars.
And the Lagoon roll probably influenced Maxx dive, Untamed's 270° stall, etc
I know I’m one year late here, but steel phantom had a 220 ft drop and inversions 20 years before cannibal. Admittedly the original incarnation of that ride was fucking miserable by modern standards
@@evanmaunders5688 thanks, though that ride & its flaws were probably among the very reasons the "inversions don't belong on hypers" industry "standard" was a thing in the first place
I didn't say Cannibal was the first to do hyper inversions, but rather that it managed to shatter decades-old trend against it which probably began due to the awfulness of early hyper loopers
@@revimfadli4666 eejanika, griffon, and Karnan all did hyper inversions in an entertaining way before cannibal as well, though. If I was going to give an innovation award to cannibal, it would be for the elevator lift and record breaking drop
@@evanmaunders5688 as well as x2, eijenika, the big dives - and i hate to say it - big apple coaster
Even B&M put inversions on their Hypers long before Cannibal. (Shiekra, Griffon, and more recently Valravn and Yukon Striker). So it definitely wasn't that unusual.
“A pisocrap skyliner” 😭
Luke Milligan what’s hilarious is that he isn’t wrong. 😂
Well, you can’t say that he’s wrong...
Hope they'll soon learn & improve from those prototypes though, they're otherwise very solid ideas
Let's hope they're just Skyline's Flashback/Hypersonic XLC
@@revimfadli4666 But Skyline doesn't really make smooth coasters. (which is weird because RMC makes the track)
@@ryan_n05 neither did Intamin(when they made Flashback) or Vekoma
From what I've searched up, 4D freespins actually cost around 7 mil USD. So 2017 wasn't such a bargain year of Six Flags compared to Cedar Fair.
Wisconsin Thrills darn, here I thought I had finally found a budget coaster for my backyard.
Lech Coaster is under 5
Still, 7 mill for THREE coasters is a bargain
@@AirtimeThrills for each
Wisconsin Thirills it really doesn’t get much cheaper than 7million besides smaller RMC’s and most mine trains, so that was a bargain to six flags compared to hypers or even an infinity coaster.
It's kinda funny most of the six flags parks got sns free spins exept the one that could really use a new coaster the great Escape
@Tyler Barton the great escape has 4 coasters only one of which is good the comet I think it could use it more
YES, great escape is my home park
@@bubblegaminglol mine too, I very much have a love hate relationship with the park on the one hand I'll always have a soft spot for the park but on the other it's super small compared to others
So much this! We could definitely use an RMC Raptor up at SFGE, too!
Nobody cares about that park 😂
7:50 **moment of silence, please**
New Texas Giant and Formula better be on here
edit: YES! Great video as usual! Makes school less boring lol
Ejector Air Coasters I redid your intro (I posted it a couple of days ago)
Yes, New Texas Giant is probably the most important thing to ever happen to the rollercoaster industry ever since Six Flags made their parks, and only grown from there (also Formula is important but not as important as NTG)
Greta?
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 yes Greta Thunberg. JK lol, I fixed it
This video made me proud to have the original RMC as my home RMC
Same
Tyler S. No but I am an ACE member
My home rock is Joker
Aye, something to watch after school
2:30 I literally live 5 minutes from here. Not the park. But the location that this frame is at.
@Dreyness Right? Haha I saw it though and I knew exactly where it was. Sure I knew Lagoon, but who cares about the park right? 😂
Noteworthy - Cedar Fair was planning to build Gold Striker at CGA for the 2009 season, I was a member of ACE back then. I think it was first announced in late 2007 and then the stock market crashed a year later. They even announced the layout which went unchanged. I remember it surprising me that the plan didn’t change after 4 whole years. Even disappointed me, I wanted a Blitz Coaster. I STILLLL want a blitz coaster. ‘Twould be a perfect addition considering they can’t build coasters above 100 feet, speaking of which, I don’t for a second believe that a Hyper is coming to CGA. The locals won’t allow it, they’ve never supported the park, and I loathe them with a passion!! Good day!!
I believe that they have already filed permits and been approved for a hyper
Skimad123 any chance you have a link to an article or a post on a comment board?
Scott D pretty much every 5 year plan prediction for CGA has talked about it. Im not 100% sure, but I know that I have been hearing it for years
I know they were pursuing a hyper, I doubt they would waste their time unless they had a shot at getting one
Airtime Thrills if anything even remotely hyper comes within 30 miles of my home, I’ll surely grey out from the announcement!!
I think I have an idea for a new ride model. So basically, what happens is you go up a chainlift backwards. At the top you stop for a second and then drop down and head up into a half loop and two corkscrews faced in a way to function as a turn around. You go through one more vertical loop, go back up a chainlift, this time facing forward. You roll back and go through the layout backwards over again. I would call this revolutionary ride a Boomerang. I’m lucky I’m so original! 😀
Pisocrahp is my new favorite manufacturer
Great concept for a video! A minor correction - Intamin *has* built a Giga since Intimidator 305. Red Force isn't of that traditional mould, sure, but it does count! Keep it up! :)
I think one of the most underrated ones is Wooden Warrior. I think it did for small size parks over the past decade what CCI's Raven did for mid-size parks in the 1990s/early 2000s. It was a super compact coaster with modest height that delivered an action packed ride for an affordable price.
I don’t care if New Texas Giant was only #1 for what came after it; I’m just happy that my home park of Six Flags Over Texas is finally on top of one of these lists
@boredtiredandsad3197And either him or someone else said Titan is their favourite Giovanola Hyper
And I'm pretty sure Mr Freeze was his favourite Premier Rides launch coaster
Love the Star Wars references
Calebs_rollercoasters absolutely I died laughing 😂😂
Oh yeah Airtime Thrills makes my day better :)
I have never been so excited for the future of my home park, California’s Great America. Haven’t been this excited for the future of the industry in general, in a good 20 years. Just one thing - can we have Arrow back? Kickstarter??
Scott D I’m pretty sure Kickstarter won’t be enough.
S&S has some of Arrows limbs
There's a crap ton of big & little coaster/amusement ride companies all over Northern Utah that sprang up from Arrow's demise (like S&S), so it's not like they've disappeared completely. The in-house Lagoon design team that made Cannibal in this video is lead by a bunch of ex-Arrow dudes for example.
@@Cooe. What I never knew that!!
@@360coasters Yup. For instance, the 100% in-house Lagoon Rides & Coasters Design Group is headed up by Dal Freeman (was the lead designer on ALL 3 of Lagoon's fully in-house designed coasters, inc. the super innovative/groundbreaking Wicked & Cannibal).
Dal was one of the lead coaster designers at Arrow before it crumbled & for a looong time prior. He lead designed Magnum XL-200 for example, even if Ron Toomer stole the official lead design credit (as he also did for a number other big Arrow rides as the firm's nominal "head coaster designer" for a major stretch of time back then. Not that Ron isn't a RIDICULOUSLY talented coaster designer in his own right, because he totally is. He's just been inaccurately credited for some things that aren't exactly 100% legitimate as described).
I find it interesting how certain park and construction firm combos emerge as "trend setters" in different decades. In the 90's it was Six Flags Great America and the debut of B&M, in the 00's it was Cedar Point and Intamin, and the 10's it was probably Fiesta Texas and RMC.
I dunno if I agree with that statement, especially since SFMM and Cedar Point entered what is effectively an arms race in the 90s that they haven't technically stopped. Hell, Magic Mountain by itself is basically a must for any coaster enthusiast's bucket list mainly because it features a ton of unique coasters with seriously buffed-up stats. No really most of the roller coasters there have some kind of record.
Hilarious to metuchen the clone wars series which is coming back tomorrow for the final season.
That skyline dig was perfect... the Pisocrap Skyline, Harley Quinn Crazy Not-A-Coaster Coaster at Discovery Kingdom has held true to the company motto... “whatever we build, it’s always a Pisocrap!”
Your Star Wars jokes makes me want to play Star Wars Epidode I Racer for the N64, which I just got with the box and manuals.
We meet again. Lol. I think we like the same coaster channels or something.
You're underrated
Yup he is
3:54: “Funny enough, you won’t find any of these in the major park chains”
Energylandia: *”AM I A GOD DANG JOKE TO YOU”*
Technically yes because he doesn’t know
Another video idea: Favorite classic wooden coasters (ones built before 1980)
Great idea. I'm always interested to hear info about old coasters. Most channels don't go in depth about the older rides unfortunately. I find them to be a fascinating history lesson, honestly.
Maybe after my 2020 trip
Airtime Thrills Oh honey 😔
I think dc rivals could be honourable mention because of an impact on Australian amusement market.
Agreed
7:30 - talking about Raptor at Gardaland
7:35 - talking about Takabisha, the steepest roller
.
Sequoia adventure is just chllin' in the corner then 😂
.
Great video, it was a super interesting with some coasters I totally overlooked and would not have considered good!
Awesome video. This is your channel at its best.
Can you make this a series and go by decade? Thx good stuff
Alex Lamb YES!
I put it on my list
I agree with everything you said in this video. Thanks for always making quality content, with tons of facts and info. You are quickly becoming my favorite coaster channel.
you have the best coaster vids on YT. 👍
For anyone saying “FiRSt”...
I have a blue shell. Try me
pls no dont do it
Don’t Subscribe here’s a red shell to take out first place
I have a Super Horn.
OOF MODZZ I’ll just stay behind you until right before the finish line, then nail you with a GREEN 😝😝😝
Savage
At 1:29 I think blackfish broke the ice between seaworld and coasters...
Here's hoping they continue with more coasters, less animals. Like, they could theme their parks to the sea, kind of like DisneySea in Japan, and make their parks much better. If they do that, I'll finally go.
I agree but Manta came before Blackfish
Another great video! Also I think you got it right. The emergence of RMC has changed the coaster world. My home park is CP and I am lucky enough to have the best all around coaster in my backyard. There are few times in life when the hype lives up to...well, all the hype. And RMC did it for me. I absolutely love riding with people that have never been on SV before. Rides like Fury are fantastic, but you can see what's coming for the most part. RMC is much more sneaky. You have to ride one to understand and that's what makes them great.
Life hack for Alton Towers: If you can't build above the treeline, smuggle some California redwoods into the UK and make the treeline a lot higher
I think Zadra should be on this list, as a first RMC I-Box Track coaster built from the ground up versus a rebuild of a former wooden coaster. It was open in 2019 in Energylandia- Poland. (Btw its my nr.1!) :)
These top coaster videos are awesome. I hope there is some more in the near future!
You have the most creative and original video ideas of just about anybody in our community. This one is no exception. Cheers!
Such a great video! Excited to watch your channel blow up! Keep up the great content.
Over texas is my home park and while Texas Giant is not as strong as other RMCs its still a phenomenal coaster packed with plenty of airtime.
I'm still sad I missed out on Cannibal when I visited Lagoon, I got really sick halfway through the day and never made it on. Next time I go up to Montana to visit family from California, I'm stopping there again just so I can ride it...
I’m so pumped for Jersey Devil and Candymonium this year. Finally a raptor relatively close to home.
Now... I wonder which coaster(s) will be the most important in the twenties? 😎
I agree with you
Ayyyy Lagoon! I go all the time! Cannibal is crazy fun man!
Surprised to see Lagoon or any ride in it pop up on any sort of list, honestly
What would you rather go to,
Carowinds or bush gardens tampa
BGT no doubt. They got Iron Gwazi, Kumba, Montu, and a bunch of other unique and well themed attractions. Plus it's a SeaWorld park
BGT
I don’t know.
Fury or Iron Gwazi? Hmmm... Maybe BGT because Carowinds lineup isn’t as strong
BGT because of Iron Gwazi.
Wonderful video!
I do have to point out, since it was my favorite coaster at one time. SOB wasnt the first inverting wooden coaster. The loop wasn't a problem. And the loop had steel supports, but the track was virtually pure wood (minus the typical steel plating).
Outlaw run also straddles that grey area of.. "is it truly a wooden inverting coaster?".
Off-topic: personally, I consider topper track to be not a hybrid coaster, but a hybrid-track coaster.
:)
Fun trip down memory lane. Hopefully this comment's not too too annoying :)
Calakapepe SOB wasn’t the first, but the last one was nearly a century old.
@@DoswarePictures yeah das mah point~
Was the SOB track on the loop actually wood? I gotta take another look at that
@@AirtimeThrills hard to find a clear picture but if you watch Sean Flaharty's 2000 offride footage.. you can kinda see if from the side views. You can definitely HEAR the wood during the loop. And if you look at some pics of the loop spine in the parking lot, that gives some clues too.
The loop: A second to think 'OH this is smooth.' Minutes later, 'I'm bringing a mouth guard next time...'🤕
i think fury 325 is important to B&M because it shows what B&M can do. and that they are the king of Gigas
I knew New Texas Giant would be 1. It’s also a much better ride than it gets credit for. My 3rd favorite RMC out of the 5 I’ve done, much better than Twisted Colossus and Twisted Timbers
I am so happy that holiday world is on this list,it is such an underrated park and they are making the first launched water coaster,I highly recommend visiting holiday world
Steel Curtain is an amazing roller coaster! It's very smooth and fast. With 9 inversions I was pretty impressed with that, but was a little nervous that it might mess with my head, but it didn't. I love inversions, but there have been a few times I've ridden a roller coaster with inversions and gotten off with my head feeling weird. Too bad that Zierer didn't kick off with a drop track on their coasters. I thought that was so different and unique when I rode Verbolten back in December.
Fury 325 is the tallest traditional lift hill coaster in the world, Of course it deserves to be on this list.... That alone is a good reason.
16:47 I know more than two parks have received ground-up RMCs, including Six Flags Great America.
A piece-o-crap Skyline 😂😂 I died laughing
That spinning coaster that's build in Plopsaland is called "The Ride to Happiness" and is themed by Tomorrowland, featuring an exclusive soundtrack made by Tomorrowland. Price of the coaster is 17,5 Million Euro. For thrillseekers, don't forget that Plopsaland is mostly aimed to the smallest amongst us, kids.
Completely agree with NTG as the top pick. Not sure how it couldn't be. Awesome video as always!
Lol you immidiately earned even more of my respect with that Star Wars reference. I approve! I don’t know if you watch the Clone Wars animated series, but if you do the first episode of season 7 launched today.
Ty for showing Shockwave in this video. So many memories of that ride. Although it was a bit rough, it was a great coaster overall.
RIP Shockwave
"Save the Whizzer so Shockwave became chop liver"
I'll just say this much, Fury made Carowinds a destination park (for coaster junkies), not to knock on Steel Vengeance (I do that enough) but it didn't turn Cedar Point into a destination alone.
what about wave breaker at swsa, the start of all the Intamins coming back into the us
Justin Raney that was only a 5 year gap between some big rides to a family coaster.
Yeah I thought about it but it wasnt too long between that and Skyrush and it was such a mild family launch coaster i decided to bypass it
"RMC added ground-up wooden coasters to Silver Dollar City and Dollywood"
**Goliath at SFGAM has left the chat in tears** :'(
You help me live the dream I can't afford I guess it's wild adventures and SFOG for life for me great video as usual.
Before the video: every RMC and some of the new wooden stuff like Mystic Timbers.
After the video: No mystic timbers.
Unpopular opinion, I really like the S&S freespins, you can have a crap ride or an amazing ride and every ride is different, the throughput of them is pretty good if the ride ops are not crap too.
spider0804 of course Mystic Timbers wouldn’t be included, Prowler opened in 2009!
Im not sure what the reason would be for adding Mystic on here
Came because I'm a New Vekoma fanboy.
Stayed because your list is spot on!
Formula is one of the coasters that made me fall in love, well, with rollercoasters (although really the first inverting coaster I rode was the SLC at the same park, which I also enjoyed). Without it, most likely I would've never thought of going to other parks and coasters outside of my country (Colossos!)
It probably has been and will be the first extreme-class coaster of many other Poles too.
Everybody likes a ranking video
I'm guessing I305 would have been #18 and that's why this list has 17 entries.
(The ride was extremely important to the park and the region, even if debatable effectiveness. I232 kicked off a whole program of much needed improvements, but KD got the first giga in a decade.)
I guess you could say i305 paved the way for the other 3 Cedar Fair gigas by B&M but its a stretch, and after i305 Cedar Fair ignored KD for 8 years so i didnt think it belonged on this list
@@AirtimeThrills Actually it was part of a 5 year plan, with first things first. The next 5 didn't align, industry trends. They're going to have to step it up with old coasters dying on them (if they can, now) but surely they knew that was coming.
11:56 Lightning Rod’s problems are more that it has a launch made by a local company that had no experience with coasters. If the launch had been made by a company with more experience, the ride wouldn’t have nearly as many problems.
Yeah they should have called Premier for the launch
TheSpanishPotato im wondering who built thunderbird‘s launch, it‘s reliable and I don’t think it‘s B&M‘s own work
Great video! Your #1, #2, #4, and #6 jumped into my mind right away when I saw the title of this video.
Very Nice Video!!
These coasters will definitely be inspiring for new coaster companies even 20 years into the future! These coasters are unstoppable
Love seeing my hometown park get some love. Lagoon is awesome and Cannibal is one of my favorite roller coasters I've ever ridden
nice to see Cannibal get some love!
Fury re-asserted B&M as capable of making the best coaster on the planet, something they probably hadn't achieved since Nemesis.
The Clone Wars reference earned my like 👌
I'm 10 Years Old And Last Summer I Went To Alton Towers And I Rode 8 Coasters Including The Smiler I Live In Blackpool And I've Been On The Big One. It's The 2nd Best Coaster In The Park, Icon Is Better The Big One's Drop Is Great But The Layout Is An Extreme Monarail
Haven't ridden Cannibal yet, but excited that Lagoon has it. As you said, the only park in the area, so upping the game of what they have to offer is awesome!
Honourable mention: DC Rivals at Movieworld Australia. A Mack Hypercoaster with a great mixture of crazy airtime and positive G forces. Started the competition between the other parks in the area, soon we are getting a Mack Multilaunch clone of Blue Fire at Dreamworld and then over at SeaWorld we are getting a Gravity Group woodie.
I have a video idea. What if you did a video ranking the best coaster types under 10 million dollars?
That could be interesting
It's nice to see 2 Silver Dollar City coasters on the video! It seems like SDC gets overlooked a lot in most of the coaster videos I watch. Time Traveler is a blast to ride. Outlaw Run's lap bars were very uncomfortable. My favorite ride there is Wildfire though!
Enjoyed this video idea! ☺️ Another video idea - best coasters in each chain
RIP Mean Streak!!
I love that I can feel the airtime while watching this video!!
Yes the Vekoma Models are awesome. I was last year at Legendia for the Lech Coaster. This Coaster is such fun. I just hope Phantasialand will be able to open Fly this Year and Tripsdrill will open a STC also this year 👌
Get to Singapore and ride Battlestar Galactica, or China for Tron. Both amazing Vekoma rides that predate what you have named!
I would love to see a list of which parks original (first) coasters (that are still operating) are the best.
Awesome idea.
Does a relocated coaster that was also briefly in storage count? Because that’s the case with Magic Flyer.
@@DoswarePictures I would say that any coaster that stays true to the original design and concept would count (no RMCs) I just like the idea of looking back at the coaster pioneers and seeing which ones have held up best. Hersheypark was my home park and I have always had a soft spot for the Comet.
jcaesarromans no Park has ever opened with an RMC, and while Comet is Hersheypark’s oldest operating coaster, it wasn’t the first. That title belongs to the original Wildcat.
@@DoswarePictures I meant that original coasters that were given a RMC conversion would not count. I did say that I was thinking of original coasters that were still operating in my original post. If they are still running, then they must still have some value to the park.
Levianthan is one of my all-time favorites. I grew up in Mississauga and Canada's wonderland holds a spot in my heart but I now live in Windsor and Cedar Point is my home park now.
that being said Leviathan edges out Millenium force for enjoyability.
Im happy to see Leviathan on this list, its an easy first and last ride of the day at Wonderland (with several revisits throughout the day)
Maybe you could make a video about parks that need investments like Thorpe park or you could even make a individual video about it.
I made a video on this same subject, and it's kind of surreal but very cool seeing many of the same coasters making the list for the same reasons. The 2010s was an amazing decade for innovation in the theme park industry! Awesome video!
I would’ve had I305 on here because it was the first coaster that showed any manufacturer or park that there is such a thing as too much intensity. Intamin’s rides had been getting more and more intense since Millennium Force and began to get more tame after i305. Except for sky rush which was an experiment with airtime intensity limits.
Really good video, thorough research and great argumentation. I thought Blue Fire deserved to be on there as I think it really started the looper high-standard race and gave Vekoma the kick in the butt they needed... when I saw that it was in fact opened in 2009.
I’m so happy that Silver Dollar City is my home park! I just hop Worlds of Fun will get a new coaster all
Most important coasters of the 2010s-
RMC- hold my beer.
Loving your channel, brother. Truly fantastic content. Thank you!
Hey I’m gonna be in North Carolina in May and I found out that Kings dominion and carowinds are gonna be about 2.5 hours away. So anyone give me your feedback on which park I should go to
It’s awesome to see ZDT’s on this list!
Top 10 parks that haven't gotten a coaster in the past decade
