    Haven't ridden the outdoor spaghetti bowls but I still love KI's FoF to this day. It has my favorite launch sound on any coaster because the sound of those LIMs echoing indoors sounds like music to my ears and the launch looks so powerful and then hearing the train roar off and fade away into the building is amazing. Not to mention I LOVE that they have preserved the 90's theming full glory. I was happy to see everything I remembered as a child still the same. It holds up pretty well to it and Tomb Raider were about as close as PKI got to making decent themed attractions like what could be found in Orlando.

    Was really happy to see my hometown park (Knoebels) get so many mentions. Next time you get out this way, give Flying Turns a go. It's so short it ends up bittersweet, but I haven't ridden anything like it...a 3-car-train bobsled.
    Riding Impulse last year got to me...it really drove home that one of the most important parts of my ability to enjoy a coaster isn't its lack of penchant for beating the rider up, it's the ability to trust the restraints...and I know exactly where that comes from. During Steel Force at Dorney Park's debut season, I got the scare of my life during the airtime section...I don't know if the bar needed to come down another couple clicks, or if my mid-teen proportions were just gangly enough to be weird, but no embellishment my legs managed to go straight, and I spent the rest of the ride coiled around the lap bar bear-hugging it like my life depended on it.
    My mother, being the font of toxicity she is, laughed in my face and insulted both my lineage and my masculinity...talk about insult to injury.
    Since then I've had a major 'can't relax and enjoy the ride unless I feel secure in the restraint' complex, and for as good of a ride as Impulse is I simply cannot bring myself to trust those little 'superhero tights' thigh restraints (I had similar problems with Nitro at Six Flags Great America, also ridden during its debut season). Strap me to something like Hersheypark's Great Bear where I'm not so much stapled as I am welded to the car, or even Knoebels' Phoenix where the bar is far enough back into my gut that I'm not going anywhere, even on a hot day where it's running so fast my thighs spend the whole ride beating the underside of the bar, and I'm fine.

    Shockwave is such an underrated coaster in my opinion. It never has a line when I'm there and seems to just be forgotten in that corner of SFOT. I love it a little more each time I ride it! The last time I was over there I wasn't stapled in for once. I usually staple myself in out of habit and the ride ops decided not to... I now understand why enthusiasts hate being stapled. The airtime on Shockwave after the loops was absolutely insane- I actually felt like I might slip out of my seat on that ride! Hopefully it isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
    I'm surprised Flight of Fear is your worst Premiere ride. A lot of people seem to enjoy it. I haven't been on it myself (yet- it's on the potential 2020 list!) but I do agree with you about being indoors being more of a downside for it due to missing out on all of the headchoppers. The headchoppers are why I absolutely love Poltergeist. I'd rank Poltergeist higher on my favorites list than Mr. Freeze- but I'll have to agree Mr. Freeze is probably the better ride. Are there any other inverted top hats out there? The spike is insane- front row night rides are the best!
    I haven't been on many arrows- but I did ride Corkscrew with my brother. I think it's the first time my brother called a roller coaster flat out boring. We didn't find it rough or painful like many say- but I agree... it was just boring. Not a bad ride- and I would ride it again if it's a walk on- but... maybe it's because it's in Cedar Point but it felt so tame and uneventful compared to everything. I'll go with Magnum for best Arrow for us- great ride and not nearly as painful as people told us it would be! X2 was closed on our SFMM trip so no comments on that one.
    Thanks for another great video! I appreciate how straightforward your videos are instead of trying to squeeze in cringy memes at every opportunity like some others do. You do the occasional joke without overdoing it and it's such a great balance. Of the coaster related channels I follow/watch yours is probably the most enjoyable overall! Thanks for taking the time to put these all together for us!

    So for some bad coasters head to Frontier City in OKC. Worst Arrow coaster I have ever ridden is there. They call it Diamondback and it was actually Lightnin' Loops at Six Flags Great Adventure until it was moved here. Well it was part of Lightnin' Loops. This was the lower loop, and honestly the move did not help it any. It was their answer to the Schwarzkopf shuttle loop coasters which were great. This one is basically sit down get pushed off the hill, go through a loop then stop. Get pushed off the hill again backwards and go back through the loop again and stop. It's rough to say the least and the stop and sit while two people have to push the button makes it boring.
    Another one they have that is bad is a Philadelphia Toboggan Company coaster called Wildcat. It was moved from another park and hybridized as the lift hill was not able to be built out of wood and fit the site. The tracks are rough especially when you hit the last brake section before coming into the station, if you don't brace yourself prepare to feel whiplash.
    They also have an old traveling Schwarzkopf called Silver Bullet. In two years it shut down three times mid ride and left people stranded on the lift hill. I have inside knowledge that they had looked at extending the railing so they didn't have to have the fire department come out but it was too costly. In fact the operations manager at the time said, "That only happens once every ten years so we should be good for the next ten years." That was said before it did it again a couple weeks later. When Six Flags came in to take over operations (which btw Six Flags was headquartered there at one point) they had the engineering done and the stairs were extended. It's still a small mediocre ride with one inversion and a couple twists here and there one of which snaps you from one side to the other and was honestly a bad design. If you ride it alone near the end brace off the opposite side, trust me.
    The only other coaster they have other than a little 262 footer is a Vekoma suspended coaster no inversions just a lift hill a couple swoops around and a down helix at the end. The bad thing about it is when I was there the thing was constantly shutting down no matter what they did. Near the end of the day what ever was causing an issue was getting really worked up and often times the last hour or two of the day maintenance would just shut it down. It is a family coaster but to be honest I don't think they could make it much tamer.
    Honestly I think if you have a chance to drive through here you will find one if not two new worst coasters for your list.

    “Quimera” at “La Feria de Chapultepec” is one of the best roller coasters I’ve ever had the pleasure to ride, unfortunately “La feria” is now closed until new advise and I’ve heard rumors of Quimera being removed for good.
    I certainly hope it’s not, because the real issue that caused the accident was the use of a different larger train than the one they had to.
    Also, the 3 roller coasters at la feria were amazing.
    Edit: I like to comment as I watch the videos.
    I feel like Six Flags Mexico is a MUST for coaster fans in the world, I’ve only been to 5-6 parks in my like which include Disney parks, Universal studios, La feria de Chapultepec and Six Flags Mexico, and SFM is by far my favorite park. Superman: El último escape is a total beast! But “Medusa” is by far my favorite ride now that it has become a hybrid metal-wood coaster and it no longer breaks necks (figuratively). Also Batman the ride and Boomerang are amazing coasters. I’m gonna try the newest ride on Monday so I’m super excited about that one!

    Had the same reaction the first time I rode El Toro. That first drop is unbelievable. And it was a really smooth ride, and the first wooden coaster of that type I'd ever been on, so a very memorable experience. I went back several years later, though, and it was noticeably rougher. Still fun, but I had a harder time enjoying it because I was being slammed around a lot more. I was riding in the same place in the train too. The track *looked* less smooth - you can even see that in a couple of your clips. It wasn't the pristine, smooth look from when it opened; it was kind of rusty and warped, like most wooden coasters. That was also several years ago now, though, so hopefully they've done something about it.

    For Intamin:
    I‘ve heard many say Expedition GeForce isn’t that great. When I gotta choose between strong airtime and super intense turns, intensity always wins. That’s why I think I305 would be my all time favorite coaster, but I‘ll have to wait a few years to ride it.

    • @zeppegrl
      @zeppegrl Před 4 lety

      Skyrush at hershey is my all time favorite intamin coaster. I live by Cedar Point so MilF and Maverick were always my favorites. Then I305 came out... Blew my mind. Greyed out on the first turn every single ride I have had on it (30+). Once Skyrush opened though, DAMN. Dethroned I305 and Maverick for me. Back row, wing seat; that first drop is probably the most forceful I've ever experienced. Not even beyond-vertical-drop coasters can beat that INSANE ejector air in the back row of Skyrush. And thats JUST the first drop. If you're in one of the wing/outer seats, the layout has ridiculous levels of lateral forces, WHILE in negative G (vertical). In the 2 decades I've been riding rollercoasters, the ONLY one that has made my instincts take over, and grab the restraint, was Skyrush the first time I rode it. 10/10

When I think favorite coasters that is easily up there with the best I’ve ever been on, I was hoping it would make an appearance here:) that first drop blew my tits off the first time I rode it! I think it so good because it has a really fast lift hill so you already have decent momentum when you hit the drop, and it’s quite steep for a woody. Have you written in the back car on it? That first drop is so much more intense in the back, it’s freakin amazing.

    Intamin: Expedition Ge-Force is a monster and I love it. However, one newer coaster is on the same level. It is Taron in Phantasialand Germany. Did you ride it? I think the personal preference boils down to whether you prefer launched coasters or "classical" lift hill coasters.

      Hansa Park is on my list, but it is far away from my location. I am looking forward to ride both of them.
      Taron's launch is unusually short. On paper it should be the most intense. However, I know first hand that there are launchers out there that "feel" more intense (e.g., Platform 13 at Walibi). The coaster that surprised me the most was actually "Speed of Sound" at Walibi. Doing a cobra roll backwards is a very interesting experience. If you happen to visit Walibi you should give it a try.
      BTW. the upcoming coaster "F.L.Y." will have a lift hill and two launches, where one of them reaches into the next inversion (it bends into it). I am curious how that will feel. I hope you will also check it out :-)

My first ride was in the front row and it was a really fun ride. They also have the first of the European ZacSpins, Kirnu, and it is MUCH better than Green Lantern. They purposefully fill the ride with an uneven weight distribution to encourage more inversions and it really makes a difference.

These are design by Schwarzkopf (person), but are not manufactured by them (company). They are instead built by Zierer, which makes them Zierer coasters.
