Lightning Rod now without the launch probably won’t even make my top 30 or 40. It’s fallen so much since its opening year
It’s pretty clear what you like in coasters from your ranking. Honestly not a bad top 100 although I’d shift a few around given that I probably have a few different preferences. Cool video !
I feel as if intimidator305 is unfiltered intensity. It’s just too nuts to not include in a top 100.
I must have some good luck bc I only have 69 credits yet have been on 14 of your top 100. My top 5, 1. Velocicoaster 2. Arie Force One 3. Iron Gwazi 4. Iron Rattler 5. Goliath (SFOG)
Thank you for giving Shambhala a chance.
Excellent list. Surprised Stunt Pilot and Tremors weren’t in the top 100 though.
Well rip lightning rod now
The thumbnail lmao 😭
I was just wondering out of Plopsiland or Parc Astérix what would be a better choice to go to for a short holiday?
Props for having a list that is actually different from what most channels say.
Nice rankings! You have FLY a lot higher than I do relative to the coasters I’ve ridden, but I get why… also I’m glad to see Iron Rattler so high, I loved that ride so much
I always appreciate how much detail you put into your lists. I've been turned onto many a coaster from your videos over the past couple of years. Here's my current top 15, just for fun.
1. The Voyage
2. Lightning Rod
3. Steel Vengeance
4. Skyrush
5. Boulder Dash
6. Phantom’s Revenge
7. Twisted Colossus
8. Renegade
9. Mystic Timbers
10. X2
11. Hades 360
12. Cyclone (Coney Island)
13. Phoenix (Knoebels)
14. El Toro
15. Twisted Timbers
For me its:
1. I305
2. Steel Vengeance
3. Millennium Force
4. Twisted Timbers
5. Magnum XL 200
6. Twisted Colossus
7. Maverick
8. Ghostrider
9. Stormrunner
10. Skyrush
11. Gatekeeper (back left outside)
12. Candymonium
13. Xcelerator
14. Raptor
15. X2
16. Cannibal
Anything below Cannibal isn't really solidified and hard to rank.
Petition to change all references to coasters as airtime machines to airtime buffets starts here. (Love the video, hope to catch some rides on Boulder Dash again with you this year like last year!)
As of today, I’ve gotten 12 rides on Lightning Rod with the chain lift. I’m happy to report it’s the same ride once it warms up. Just as good as ever, and didn’t break down at all!
Cool list, love to ssee some different opiniona on the top coasters than usual! One question: did you ride hakugei yet and if not where would you think it will rank?
Did you ever come off something on this list with a headache or breathless? What do you think?
BGCE is #1 for me, Untamed 2 ! Because of the extra comfort of the intamin restreints. That dangling upside down in the stall was my best moment on any coaster
I think Steel Vengeance is my favourite coaster I've ridden, with Fury 325 coming in 2nd. I got unlimited rides on Fury (97 in 3 days and 4 hours of a 4th day) but only 10 on SV, 8 in the back car, (rows 11 or 12); one in the 3rd back (row 9) and once in the 3rd back (row 7), so they could switch if I rode SV enough, but I still think SV is my favourite coaster I've ridden.
Too much to mention, so I left another comment in the meantime. Wonderful two videos you posted for your 2023 best 100 coasters; Thanks for posting!
Good to see some love for UNTAMED. But where was TARON?
My top 10 includes
10 Maverick
9 Superman the Ride
8 El Toro
7 Steel Vengeance
6 Arieforce 1
5 Phantom's Revenge
4 Velocicoaster
3 Skyrush
2 Wildcat's Revenge
1 Fury 325
I expect that some of these will be displaced when I go overseas in 2026. Maverick is at risk of falling out of my top 10 this year when I ride X2.
How many new credits are you expecting in 2024?
Also, I feel like this is a good place to ask, can someone list all four inversions on Velocicoaster? Every time I watch a POV I only see a dive loop, the stall, and the mosasaurus roll. I’m assuming the inversion I’m missing is in the jumbled first half?
So i believe my top 10 would go like this.
1. Iron Gwazi
2. Arie Force One
3. Voyage
4 Maverick
5 Mako
6. Orion
7. Diamondback
8. Steel Vengeance
9. Magnum XL 200
10. Montu
I haven't been to as many parks yet but will be going to quite a few this year including dollywood. I just hope that Lightning Rod isn't as disappointing as Steel Vengeance was for me.
Yes finally someone realizes how underrated Outlaw Run is!
I wonder if I'll have the same top three coasters as you do because The Voyage and Lightning Rod are my two favorite roller coasters out there, and if I make it to Cedar Point this summer, Steel Vengeance might be up there with them.
I still don’t understand how lightning rod is your number one
Great video! I enjoyed watching this! I hope you love your rerides on Lightning Run!
Interesting you place Shambhala over Hyperion. All Shambhala fans that I know who have tried Hyperion prefer the latter.
30:21 LOL at the dude in the front row
Great video. Do you plan on going to the UK any time soon?
I love that Twisted Colossus made top 20. The ride gets so much flack for not dueling, but it's still a great ride without the novelty.
I love all coaster content, enjoy watching it so much and appreciate what you do. My feedback is only from honest wonder. I have no idea how anyone could ride Mako and believe there are 49 better coasters in the world. I have similar questions about how Velocicoaster, maybe the best themed coaster in the world with the best inversion in the world (the roll) could be ranked 10. After my son and I took a trip to GA to ride Arie, we both agreed as great as this new RMC is, it's not nearly as good as Velocicoaster. I hope to get as many coaster credits as you one day and appreciate your opinion.
personal #1: Alpengeist. just because it wasn't on this list and it's so good.
I like the video but i REALLY wosh you would add park locations. Telling me its at PNE funland or whatever does nothing. Give me a city and state or something
I love hearing your lists! Very interesting to see how your top 100 changes each year. Lightning Rod recently fell from my #1 to #6 with the chain lift. It is still an elite coaster and the ride had no downtime during my visit with 2 train ops all day so the change was well worth it in my opinion! I also did Skyrush with the new restraints yesterday and it felt nearly the same to me. The airtime was a tad stronger while the laterals were a tad weaker on the edge seats.
You're clearly an RMC fanboy. They are definitely intense but I hate their restraints too much to rank them high for me. Where would you place Diamondback and Kumba as I noticed they were both off your 100. Of course you've ridden about 1000 coasters more than me
suprised to not see the beast, and the magnum xl 200 rip offs over it instead in the 100-51 list
I was off by 24 places when I guessed from the best by manufacturers list that Fury 325 was your favorite coaster! But it was fun to guess!
You have ridden so many more coasters than I have, but I have ridden most of your top 20, and Fury is criminally low imo.
So glad to see my home park brought home a top 20 placement out of 1294 coasters! Do you think Skyrush will move up after you experience it with the new lap bars?
I’m very happy about your praise for Kondaa. I’m European and it’s currently my #1 having done almost everything here. The first airtime hill is incredible and the outerbank is simply the best coaster element I’ve ever experienced
Those are great amusement parks make me a lot of good information about those as well😊
