    @richey0995 Před rokem +7

    My top 1 is Lightning Rod and it always will be, I got just one ride on it in the 11th row in 2019 and that one ride was enough, I rode Storm Chaser 5 times last year and it’s my number 2, but as amazing as Storm Chaser is it only cemented how much better Lightning Rod is than any other roller coaster.
    That short experience I would say is the best thing I’ve ever done in my life, it’s hard to except that it’s apparently fallen off, but I feel like even if I did ride it again and I didn’t like it as much, that it wouldn’t change how I feel just because that first ride was so life changing.
    Update: I’ve just recently visited Kings Dominion and I’ve got a new top 1, Intimidator 305 is so good I couldn’t put it anywhere else, I couldn’t possibly keep my word of Lightning Rod always being my top 1 after that, I got only one ride on it and I got 8 rides on Intimidator 305! I went three time back to back, took a break to eat, then went another 5 times back to back, one of which was a front row ride at sunset and that is now what I consider to be the greatest thing I’ve ever done in my life! I knew Intimidator 305 was gonna be in my top 10 if I rode it, but I never foresaw it being my top 1 over Lightning Rod.

    I've ridden 5 RMCs and this is how I rank them!
    1. Lightning Rod - I do not get the slander this thing has been taking recently. I got my first rides back in March (2023) and I thought it was insane! The slowed launch only affects the Dolly. The ride has unbelievable speed and pacing with aggressive airtime and some of the best terrain you'll find on a coaster! I had high expectations but this thing exceeded them! The wave turn was dope, the twist-and-shouts (especially the second one) had crazy ejector, and of course the quad down! I don't even need to put that into detail. The launch is also pretty forceful! While Thunderhead is incredible, this is still the best ride at Dollywood.
    2. Steel Vengeance - Ah yes, my first RMC and my former number 1 roller coaster. This thing is one heck of a ride! It never ends and the airtime is crazy! Over time, I have realized that I like my roller coasters to have a variety of forces, and airtime is pretty much all that Steel Vengeance does. Not a knock since that airtime is elite, but it's not my absolute favorite ride. The second half can also be a hit or miss depending on if the midcourse trims any speed, but I'm not complaining because it needs 3-train ops. Still the best ride at Cedar Point!
    3. Twisted Timbers - The best way I can describe this is that it's a more aggressive mini Steel Vengeance. It's a bucking bronco that tries to throw you out of the train. I loved every ride I had on this and the fact that it's in the same park as Intimidator 305 is wild. Somehow only the second best at Kings Dominion.
    4. Goliath - This might be short, but every element packs a punch! The first drop is still one of RMC's finest, the stall hangs you upside down forever, the pacing is crazy, and the airtime is also really good. Since it has Topper Track (same can be applied to Lightning Rod), there are parts where it reminds you that it's a wooden coaster. It adds a lot to the ride IMO! Best ride at Great America!
    5. Twisted Colossus - I rode this 4 times and only got one dueling ride (it was a full duel). The elements are great but when there isn't another train racing you, it's not the same. Still a great ride! X2 does overshadow it at Magic Mountain.

I might go 8 on a couple but still that is amazing. I am so looking forward to the their first ground up at a park that has an insane budget. I also looking forward to their junior models as well. Something that can fit in a very small foot print, affordable by most parks, and still packs a punch. I am thinking a near park park, Beechbend would be benefit greatly from one. Looking forward to mindblower with 308 track as well

    Can confirm that Fiesta Texas's GLC is running waaayy rougher and slower than Raiblazer these days, it's easily my least favorite RMC. Fair rankings for the most part but that low Iron Rattler ranking hurts, the setting is incredible and night rides are phenomenal on that one.

    I recently went on Gwazi and Cedar Point is my home park. I'll be honest, I think Steel Vengeance is better. It's about twice the ride time as Gwazi and I think the elements are more innovative with how the track interacts with the structure. I also appreciate how the bottom of the first drop doesn't immediately take you up to the next hill. That little airtime hop is nice. I rode back seat on Gwazi and by the time I was able to really process the first hill, I was already going into the second drop.
    Great video. I've only been on 4 RMCs but will hopefully ride more soon.

    • @mrdvorak
      @mrdvorak Před 10 měsíci +1

      All this. I’ve been on both over 10 times each and going back to CP in a month. I look forward to riding SV way more than Gwazi (which I still love), but SV does almost everything better, and the run through the guts on the back half is insane.

  • @RA-hx9uc
    @RA-hx9uc Před rokem +6

    In the Iron Gwazi v SteVe debate, I think Gwazi's 1st drop is superior, but SteVe edges it out for me in everything else, especially the ride through the structure. Also, front AND back are great rides on SteVe, where I find Gwazi to be a back seat ride only coaster. It is way different in the front. And by back, I mean row 11. Because of the train design on RMC, I always prefer the 2nd to last row, or, the front seat in the back car. You get the same ride experience as the very back, but have a slightly better view without heads directly in front of your face. Go ahead, wait for the last row, I'll gladly wait less to take row 11 on that thing.

    Living just 20 mins from ArieForce One and now having season passes, I don't understand how the 'quad-down' is too much for you Taylor. Having ridden Twisted Timbers just a month ago, I find that coaster to be way too much for me at the end with all of the ejector hills. ArieForce One's ending feels like an exclamation mark on perfection. I think you may change your tune the next time you ride it, and Arie will move up even further on this list. (Night rides especially!!!)

    Outlaw Run was probably the coaster that got me into coasters. It terrified me the first time I rode it, I really didn’t know much about coasters at the time and I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. When I got back to Silver Dollar City a couple of years later I knew the forces that Outlaw Run would exert on my body, and it blew me away. I’ve ridden it about a hundred times through all my visits to the park and I still have to collect my thoughts on the brake run.
