Florida is one of deepest states when it comes to roller coasters. A lot of that can be attributed to Orlando, which is often considered the theme park capital of the world. You have Walt Disney World, Universal Studios, and SeaWorld. Then about an hour drive away, you also have Busch Gardens Tampa. As of this recording, the state currently has 61 different roller coasters. And that number is only growing. In recent years, all these parks have been adding exciting new roller coasters, so in this video, I will rank Florida’s top 25 roller coasters.

Slinky Dog Dash deserves a place on this list just because of the supercute train.
No Daddy Pig's Roller Coaster? Horrible list. LoL. /s
1. Velocicoaster
2. Iron Gwazi
3. Mako
4. Rip Ride Rockit
5. Hagrid's
If I had to choose between iron gwazi and velocicoaster, I'd probably would give the edge to iron gwazi. Velocicoaster is great and the theming is well done. But I love the relentless and chaotic nature of iron gwazi, That's a ride that shows no mercy and when I came off my first ride, I was like "What the hell just happened?"
Kraken after the MCBR is now almost like Alpengeist after they slowed down the 2nd 1/2. I think Krakens is less noticable than Alpengeist, that is if you got on Alpengeist soon after initial opening date due to it's nuetering being waaaay sooner than Kraken. Kraken's 2nd loop (personally) WAS the most intense B&M loop (that I've been on), now it's just good. The corkscrew is slower but still great.
Florida is home to My favorite and least favorite coaster! Velocicoaster and Slinky Dog, I think you could probably guess which one is my favorite and least favorite lol
It’s a shame that you can’t access the secret song input on some of the cars on HRRR anymore. I can’t ride that ride without listening to Limp Bizkit
Honestly Montu is my favorite ride in Florida.
Just had my last day at BGT today! Awesome to see how all of the state's coasters stack up to one another 🙂 [except cobra's, sadly closed for my visit]
VelociCoaster and Iron Gwazi are truly a duo to be reckoned with, might be the best 1-2 punch of any US state.
Rock n roller>>>> slinky dog cmon buddy
Hollywood rip ride rocket #8? It’s not in my top 30 😂, I’ll still ride it
I can’t wait for starfall racers
Slinky's lame ass Toy Story 40mph ride as a top ride? NAH. That's a gay ride that's lame as all fuck.
You've been posting a lot of videos from Florida recently. Did you just visit there recently, and if so, did you return to Legoland or visit any new waterparks like Adventure Island?
I loved Iron Gwazi, but Velocicoaster takes the crown for sure.
My man woke up on the right side of the bed this morning finally putting IG over VC. Most people that disagree either don't live in FL or just visit Universal when they visit and maybe go to Sea World or Busch gardens once every couple of years. It's really too bad that is the case as people are really missing out on two of the best parks in America. Most people who have VC ranked higher are those who fall into the "ride is themed" category. Theming is nice, but has never pursuaded me one way or the other on the actual coaster. I've had night rides on Mako that blew me away and I would rank Mako above VC on those, but I have never had a ride on IG and thought it might not be as good as VC. I actually like the first half of VC more than the second half and I only go to universal if I'm going to an Orlando Informer event because that's the only way I could actually enjoy going to Universal. One criticism I have is calling the "second half" of Mako losing steam is a little unfair. It is more like the final 20% of the ride and the mid course was only put in because Sea world is in Orlando and needed (almost required) due to potential capacity needs. The one trim after the turnaround hits, but I've been on plenty of times it hasn't hit and if it does, it doesn't take away from the ride or airtime at all. That particular airtime hill is one of the best moments, but gets over looked because too many enthusiasts are focused on the "trim". The ride still powers thru the next airtime hill and full ejector on the speed hill. I know because I was just on it Sunday night for about 6 rides and it was hauling and incredible. Great video as always!
For me until January iron gwazi was over velocicoaster but now it’s veloci over iron gwazi, idk if I got bad rides on it and really good rides on veloci or what but they flipped. However both are phenomenal both in my top 3
For me my top 5 in Florida are:
1. Velocicoaster
2. Mako
3. Hagrids
4. Expedition Everest
5. Revenge of the Mummy
I haven't been to Busch Gardens Tampa yet.
My list (NO DISNEY) as a Florida native coaster enthusiast:
1. Velocicoaster
2. Iron Gwazi
3. Hagrid’s
4. Mako
5. Montu
6. Cheetah Hunt
7. Sheikra
8. Hulk
9. Kumba
10. Pipeline
Only complaint about your list is no cobra’s curse, that blows the water out of some of your bottom choices.
Florida is not something that matters to many….
Great video.. my top 5 is veliocoaster, iron gwazi, mako, montu and kraken
A water park version would be welcomed. In between the 6 main water parks in Orlando, as well as Adventure Island and a couple other local parks in south Florida, there's plenty of competition.
Imagine leaving:
with a headache
breathless
What are the differences between the two? What do you think?
Dude HRRR is hot garbage. I’m sorry.?

Idk how 20 coasters are better than the immersive experience of expedition Everest
Funny thing, I have an airport a few hundred feet away from my house, and I can fly to Orlando from there. It's very easy to get to Orlando, albeit a bit expensive. Despite being 20 years old, I've never been to Florida yet lol. Can't wait to hit Universal, IoA, BGT, and Seaworld in June!

Ig is way overrated

Gwazi for the win!! But hmmm, my FL top 5…
5. Scorpion ( gotta respect the classics)
4. Mako/Montu (cheating 😅)
3. Pipeline
2. Hagrids
1. Iron Gwazi
Awesome video. Visited from the UK back in October 23 and rode nearly all of them with my 9 year old. We missed out on Kraken as it was shut for refurb and space mountain as the queues were crazy, although we have ridden the Disneyland Paris version. Can't wait to go back. My favourite 5 were Iron Gwazi, Tigris, Velocicoaster, Mako and Kumba. Kumba I first rode in 1994 when I was 11, went back 29 years later and it's still incredible! Thanks for the great video.
I find it ironic both the best coaster at Disney and the best coaster at Universal are launch coasters that feature Chris Pratt.
