I haven’t considered any other rollercoaster for the next coaster in that park than RMC. You showed Copperhead and I was like……nooooooooooo. RMC👏🏼 please a RMC. I wud cry my eyes out if it was CHS. Lol

Why the hate for chs? Lol We will be at Kings Island tomorrow! Can't wait!

I have ZERO China coaster knowledge. That one was not intentional actually lol The Superman was baited though, it's a bad question. Raptor is still the correct answer. 4 Superman--- 2 total with 2759 ft and 2 total with 2798 ft. Whereas both clones of raptor are indentical with a total of 3 (including the original)

I went ahead and adjusted the answers to make it more fair.

@@PRC2019 There's only 2 raptors too though, the original and the one from Expoland that was relocated to France. That one is both taller and longer than Raptor and because it only runs 2 trains, there are no brakes in the straight track of what would be Raptor's mcbr. Those are as much clones as the 2 mantas, or the 2 sheikras or the 2 griffons or the 2 medusas. There are 2 identical family inverts at 2 different Happy Valley parks in China and BGT is getting a slightly larger clone of it. There are also 2 pairs of identical wing coasters, the 2 hot go models and a different pair at 2 different Happy Valley parks as well. I say the with all that- the supermans have it.

Thanks, Justin! I appreciate the feedback! I try to use the comments and viewership to help dictate what kind of videos to spend my time producing, so this is very helpful when folks comment! Especially for a relatively new channel.

@@PRC2019ofc! I found your channel a few months ago and you’re on my Mount Rushmore of coaster tubers! Im hoping to start my own coaster channel later this summer so if you have any advice it would be really appreciated!

I think you make some valid points, but in fairness, I WAS giving CP enormous credit for the coaster lineup. As does everyone else, which is why lines consistently exceed 1-2 hours on MANY of the coasters. Considering that we both agree that we go to the parks to RIDE, I take line length heavily into consideration as well. However, I visited KD last Saturday for the 4th time this season and haven't waited more than 30 minutes for ANY coaster in each of those 4 visits. Additionally, the Kings Parks and Dorney have a more friendly layout to navigate without having to walk the entire length of the peninsula. I really appreciate your feedback and value the opinions of the people that watch the videos. Can't wait for some more engagement in the future, hopefully I gave you a little snap shot into my (at times) unconventional way of viewing things. I really try my best to place effort into judging by sound and fair criteria.

@PRC2019 ya I agree , the wait times are really long at cp. I forget about that because I usually just get fastlane ,but that's a huge extra exspence that you don't need at other parks. What was your opinion of renegade? You talked about prowler. I am just curious where you would rank renegade among other gci coasters?

@@kellyoman2196 I was impressed. Has caught a bit of flak for starting to get a little rough, but I found it to be pretty perfect in that sense. Overall I was impressed, Was a big fan of the drop and layout. It will be making it's debut in the top 100 list at the end of the year, for sure. How high remains to be determined, though.

Dan, Skyrush got even better with the new restraints. A perfect car crash on rails. 😂

Thank you for watching!

I absolutely respect that opinion. I will tell you, though, it's hard to beat Hershey in this category when they own 2 spots in my top 10.

I’m sorry but Millie doesn’t come close to beating skyrush but everything else you said yeah

Cedar Points doesn’t offer a 3 piece and a soda. They encourage the six piece with unlimited refills!

Thanks so much for the support and kind words! Anything particular you'd like to see?

What does a giga have to do with anything?

I don't think the statement is ridiculous if you're acknowledging it's your 3rd favorite park 😂 BUT I get your point. Fyi, CP is closer to my house than Hershey, so no favoritism at all, just being honest. IMO Wildcat and Sky rush are better than maverick and vengeance. It's close, but I give the edge to the two rides with better operations. When the quality is so close, I look to tie breakers. Just my preference. I will concede that TT2 and Millie have a SLIGHT edge on storm runner and candy, but not as much as people make it seem. I LOVE the feedback and commentary though. And THANK YOU for giving me a great topic..."Do you need a giga to compete with the CP's of the world" and also, "what does Hershey need next to topple CP" Thoughts?

Not a rollercoaster ranking, but KI not being #1 might be controversial, but I think I validated those reasons. Cannot emphasize enough that I've been to these parks all this season (except Wonderland and cga) I'm only ranking this year's overall park experience. CP is having a nightmarish season... All of these issues might not be the parks fault, but it's certainly not the paying guests fault. If for nothing else, it's an encouragement for people to travel and judge for themselves.

This place grows on me a little more after each visit!

So...funny story... I'm not permitted to grace Canadian soil, per the Trudeau administration. Lol So until my media waiver is evaluated and approved, this remains a US focused channel. If I print you a "Let him ride!" T shirt with our logo, will you take a picture wearing it at Parliament?

If this was a rollercoaster ranking, we both know Cedar Point is at the top of the chain, but not the case in terms of nearly everything else that affects your experience. CP gets plenty of praise for their ride lineup, this list focuses on the parks that do all of the little things better than everyone else in addition to their ride lineup. I stand behind my evaluation for the 2024 season. (CP doesn't get bonus points for the glory days 😂)

The climb to 500 has permeated significant fundamental changes in my life. The journey isn't JUST about the coasters, if you catch my drift! Love planning the next spot to climb closer to 600! Thanks for watching!

The low and mid tier parks are all worth visiting...even worlds of fun lol

Thanks so much!

I'm supposed to be there this fall, so I'll finally get to experience the park first hand!

Right on!

Thanks Dwight! Was awesome to meet you as well! Perhaps the next time we all cross paths, the MRS. won't get stuck at work!

Agreed on mostly everything you said. It's still a great Park, but they lost their customer first approach. The aging and often closed rides are starting to bother me a bit too.

Dorney is further from my house than Cedar Point or KI. I love them all, and in the past would skip dorney entirely in exchange for another visit to one of the bigger parks. BUT, when they do something right, I wanna talk about that too. If I were ranking coaster lineups...as much as I love Dorney, they wouldn't be #2. Lol But I'd guess they realize that. KI is probably one of my top 5 favorite places to be in America, but they deserved a little criticism. Door has to swing both ways in my opinion.

@@PRC2019 Yeah for sure! CP is my home park, but from what I've experienced this year they deserve plenty of criticism. I like KI, but with it 3 and a half hours away, and being an early riser, I like to go early and leave early as it seem to get extremely crowded on weekends. I don't get many summertime night rides and I miss the fireworks/drone/laser/fountain show, but I really only care about coasters so I'm okay with it. I like KI's haunt for getting night rides. The crowds can get bad then too, but a good portion of those guest are there for the haunt attractions so I usually do okay. Weekend after the 4th hope to get to Dorney again, it'd been a while for me. also plan to get down to Kings Dominion, so I'll have a better overall feel for the parks in 2024 then. Thanks for making the video, keep them coming!

@@timk987Dorney is definitely one of the best Cedar Fair parks in terms of overall experience. It is beautiful and definitely feels less corporate than others.

@@AFCompany Got a trip planned for early July, can't wait to get back to check it out for myself, it been awhile for me.

That would be incredible, but unfortunately I don't see it as practical.

@@PRC2019 No one thought the Phoenix or Twister were practical.... IJS, hell even Flying Turns was considered undoable.

Just a matter of time.

I'm surprised it's still going in 2024.

KI is really more like #1C opposed to #3

And edit..now that I look at the photo leaked..if you look closely..it says 250 ft..their no way in hell..vf going that high...I'm sorry...this has overseas written all over it👌👌💯💯im gona say this again .we need a invert.either b&m or Vekoma stc... period 🎤 🎤🎤

They also sell the 70m model, which is their hyper-esque style of this double heart model. The one that sold for 2026 is the sky rocket 2 size model, which is the 50m version.

@@PRC2019 also why would cf buy another product from zamplerla...if they having problems with top thrill...just saying 👌🤔🤔🤔...granted I know cwa probably kick their self in ass for getting a zamplerla...they like what we gonna do now....all im saying is we need a b&m invert or Vekoma stc ..an inversion based Coaster...one that goes upside down then cork..anddd VF reps were at dorney check out menace...Soo 🤔🤔🤔

@@ThrillRider247 because Cedar Fair is running out of manufacturers they will work with They are left with B&M, which let's be honest their coasters are getting boring... GCI, except CF doesn't like spending money on Retracking of woodies, they would have to go with someone they rarely work with like Zierer or Gerstauler... Even I think CP could benefit from a Gerst Euro Fighter.

IMO that park will be sold and/or will be parting rides off to other parks within the next 3 seasons. Perhaps even sooner.

🤔🙄😶‍🌫️ 😂

I borderline agree with you, but this has been my home park for most of my life...its special to me. HOWEVER, this is the very first time in over a decade that I didn't buy a season pass this year. The handling of the curtain broke my spirit a little bit towards them. So, yeah, I surely feel your pain. Right there with you on the ops, etc.

@@PRC2019 The more coasters I ride, the more I appreciate Phantom's ride ops. Seriously one of the best in the business. They keep it moving and entertaining for riders in the station, even during one train ops. Just wish they'd do something about all the line skipping for it.

Glad that you've been enjoying them!

Yep, the way I see it, a Vekoma Bermuda Blitz thats roughly 3400-3800 ft worth of track...it would FINALLY give the park a TRUE standout coaster (Although I personally would argue that Goliath already is Elite and a TRUE standout.)

@PRC2019 exactly. If hyperia can be elite and short, goliath, its spiritual predecessor despite being from a different manufacturer, is as well. I think either the first or final set of turnarounds could/should be slightly different elements but overall I agree, i much prefer it to twisyed colossus. The sense of speed is just breathtaking. The park definitely needs another long coaster with 3 train ops. Of vekoma can deliver on a reasonable budget, they should go for it. But really, rather than 2 more 10-15 million dollar coasters the park should just save for a 25-30 mill if thays what it takes to achieve this goal. So many short but sweet rides there at the moment. Raging bull being the exception, as well as eagle. Bull is underrated and eagle ... they oughta just decide what to do with it to bring it into the next century because they could get 4-6 train ops out of it as an i box or retrack of some sort if they really wanted to commit to that

Super interesting thought 🤔

I haven't heard of anyone buying it, but I agree, it was taken down as though it were sold. Something will come to KK in the next few years for sure. Possibly even 2025. When I know more, I'll be for sure making a video about it.

So...no Tekken Tag Tournament? 🤣

No, @@PRC2019

Crazier things have happened!

We never know.. In 2023, the parks ugliest area got a complete makeover and retheme alongside a new flat ride.

So I don't have to give up my dreams of a gently used Tekken Tag Tournament Arcade game? 😂

Definitely a possibility.

That was my absolute all-time favorite flat ride. I would LOVE to experience that ride again. Truly a missing piece of my childhood.

This is a sour topic for me. I'm not thrilled about the decision to not operate the rides this year. I feel like they should open them for at least a couple weeks to not throw away an entire season.

@@PRC2019 100% agree.

This is not confirmed. This is speculation and prediction. But I utilize forensic accounting practices to come up with a probability table. Far from an exact science, but I feel comfortable standing behind the premise of my predictions.

If this comment gets enough likes, I will do that. Ironically, I was at Knoebel's yesterday afternoon... That video would be insane... they are super unpredictable and they are also known to be incredibly capable engineers.

This made me laugh out loud for real 😂

Funny thing about that... Exterminator is a Reverchon ride. When Reverchon went under, they got bought by...you guessed it...Zamperla. So Cedar Point's ride is really a direct-line descendant of the Exterminator. It's the same ride with a modified car and a different layout...that is, it's essentially the same ride system.

Admittedly the spinner is least likely and least attractive, but mauer or gerstlauer could eventually redo exterminator, so that's really the only reason that got mentioned.

@@PRC2019 Laff track at Hershey park.

Laff Track is a clone, alongside Steel Dragon at Waldameer they are just two of the multiple rides with this layout built by Mauer. The model sells, but I find it would be redundant in the market.
