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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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. 🤣🤣🤣
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
This is the only CZcams 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.
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
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
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.
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.
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 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’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
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.
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.
Thats a nice Halloween speciel haha. I liked how you made the elements seem like evil demons!! Tornado at Bakkens first drop is deffenetly the most demonic i have expeienced!
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.
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
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!
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.
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.
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
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 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!
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.
Rolling Thunder was my favorite wooden coaster back in the day!! Still need to get to the parks now that there are so many new coasters...my best credit is The Big Bad Wolf, which is my favorite inverted hanging coaster. It was so tight through the Bavarian Village feeling like you were going to hit the buildings. The final drop was amazing and is everything people claimed it to be...
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
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.
I love the Staffordshire Knot on The Smiler at Alton Towers. It is exclusive to The Smiler and although you go through each section fairly far apart it can create, what is in my opinion, one of the best fuels on a coaster that I have ever experienced!
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.
I'm glad you gave some respect to the woodies, especially in the lower half of the list. I was really hoping to see the four back-to-back airtime hills on the Phoenix at Knoebels, though.
lol you included one of the very few coaster i ever been on. that wooden one in vancouver is crazy. i was 11 (2005) and that was the last coaster i have been on and it was crazy to me then i thought it was far more intense than anything from claifornia disney/universal or paris france disney which had that indiana jones coaster that was destructive to the head/neck... that one was just bad the wooden one is genuinely scary but also painful would be cool to try it again being an adult
I have to say. Desert Storm in Arizona is on my list. The first drop in the back row whips you so much. I was not prepared for it but it took my breath away. The rides 2nd loop is also insane the back. Desert Storm is really intense and underated
I rode Intimidator 305 on opening day and I think I have a high tolerance because I didn't black out, but one of my family members did. It was insane and probably the best part of the ride, the airtime hill even with the hard plastic restraints was also insane.
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
I’m pretty new to the big thrills, but I would say that the element that is most crazy is the hanging drop on the Griffin at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It’s especially insane in the front row because you stay there for five whole seconds facing the ground.
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.
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.

I was scared too but after hearing him scream, I kept laughing throughout the ride. Best ride experience ever!
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!
Would tempestos comfort collars count cuz those came straight from hell
ExACTLY

not that bad
Airtime Myke would agree
Your pronouncing tempasta sauce wrong

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.

@@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
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.
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

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?"
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
The tatsu pretzel loop is amazing
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
For a demonic element, the Vekoma Butterfly should be on this list
That...that pretzel loop on tatsu jesus I’ve never experienced anything so gut wrenching so quick so unforgiving
*it’s all fun and games untill satan starts to make the ride*
Didn’t know US Togo raised from the dead!
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.
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
That Tatsu pretzel loop is beyond intense. I love it!
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.
The backwards launch on SFMM's Full Throttle really caught me off guard.
I think the loop on batwing is pretty insane, comparable to a pretzel loop
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 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'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
Devil’s Den’s “Infamous GUM WALL!!” at Conneaut Lake Park.
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 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.
Love the originality of your videos. Keep making more great vids.
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. 🤣🤣🤣
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
Uncle Nate NAH I had to hold onto my pockets so that the ridiculous amount of cash in my pockets wouldn’t fly out mang!
@@ElToroRyan That money that you owe Myke...
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
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
This is the only CZcams 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.
Honestly ur correct
I'm very happy Tatsu is on this list, because they way you enter that pretzel loop in itself is absolutely demonic
I’ve been on X2 over 15 times and it still terrifies me
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
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.
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
Twist airtime hill: *exists*
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.

The demonic knot on Flug der Dämonen!!

Face into Keyboard it’s definitely intimidating, so of course they had to theme it to number 3.

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 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.
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.

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’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
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.

Surprised that the Quad Down element on Lightning Rod wasnt on this list.
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'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.
The drop on Speedy Gonzales Hot Rod Racers
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.
I’m confident I created a lagoon roll on half of my roller coaster tycoon rides without knowing it
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
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 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!
I love the pretzel loop on tatsu it's so forceful
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.
Rolling Thunder was my favorite wooden coaster back in the day!! Still need to get to the parks now that there are so many new coasters...my best credit is The Big Bad Wolf, which is my favorite inverted hanging coaster. It was so tight through the Bavarian Village feeling like you were going to hit the buildings. The final drop was amazing and is everything people claimed it to be...
Interesting list idea, I'm betting the near misses on dueling dragons were pretty demonic
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
Great video! I loved the top 5 !
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.
I love the Staffordshire Knot on The Smiler at Alton Towers. It is exclusive to The Smiler and although you go through each section fairly far apart it can create, what is in my opinion, one of the best fuels on a coaster that I have ever experienced!
Nothing like watching airtime thrills on Halloween
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
Nice list of the elements of the coasters 🎢
This list should also include any and all truck track elements on RMCs. Those are no joke.
I'm glad you gave some respect to the woodies, especially in the lower half of the list. I was really hoping to see the four back-to-back airtime hills on the Phoenix at Knoebels, though.
Love your videos man!
Yo,, #3 looks really fun. I love rollercoasters that have spinning elements! That's why I always go on Cobra's Curse everytime I go to Busch Gardens.
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.
lol you included one of the very few coaster i ever been on. that wooden one in vancouver is crazy. i was 11 (2005) and that was the last coaster i have been on and it was crazy to me then i thought it was far more intense than anything from claifornia disney/universal or paris france disney which had that indiana jones coaster that was destructive to the head/neck... that one was just bad the wooden one is genuinely scary but also painful would be cool to try it again being an adult
Excellent vid and idea Chris
I have to say. Desert Storm in Arizona is on my list. The first drop in the back row whips you so much. I was not prepared for it but it took my breath away. The rides 2nd loop is also insane the back. Desert Storm is really intense and underated
The barrel roll on Hydra as you come out of the station is one of my favorite elements of all time
Another demonic element Arrow came up with was the 150ft. tall quasi-corkscrew element on Drachen Fire. That was an intense ride !!
I rode Intimidator 305 on opening day and I think I have a high tolerance because I didn't black out, but one of my family members did. It was insane and probably the best part of the ride, the airtime hill even with the hard plastic restraints was also insane.
And this is why I consider vertical inclines a hard limit
These all look like fun!! I'll be going to Seaworld soon, so I'm excited to ride Manta.
watching the rolling thunder hill on El Toro off-ride makes it literally look like an animation
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
I’m pretty new to the big thrills, but I would say that the element that is most crazy is the hanging drop on the Griffin at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. It’s especially insane in the front row because you stay there for five whole seconds facing the ground.
Nice Halloween special
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.
one of my favorite demonic coaster elements was when I road this one ride in Bushe Gardens where the drop went upside down before leveling out
X2's drop is actually offically named the Skydive drop by S&S
