2025 Will Be An Insane Year For Theme Parks & Roller Coasters!

[@ChristopherSimansky]

I hope your prediction for Great Adventure is correct. Almost no one up here in the northeast wants the Mack Spinner that has been talked about.

[@darealsavage3472]

But I highly doubt they would want anything under 400 feet

[@SkyySkip]

As much as I would love Beast to be open during Winterfest, I doubt it. From what I understand they do extensive off season maintenance as soon as Halloween is over and if it's open during the winter, it might not be ready for spring. Can't say that for certain obviously, but it would make sense

[@steveniglesias2508]

100% Universal announces the closure of HRRR... Also, 100% they DO NOT announce what is actually replacing it in 2025... They'll announce a new Lemonade stand.

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

haha i hope not! lol

[@Joiakkkk]

What’s hrrr

[@steveniglesias2508]

@@Joiakkkk Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit

[@robertrowe9832]

When they removed the secret playlist I knew it was closing. No other reason they would do it otherwise. Here’s hoping they put a drift coaster from Intamin!

[@Bybrycebeatz]

@@KeepRidinCoastersthe reason why he said that is because when velocicoaster was getting built they said it was a churro stand because they didn’t want to drop their plans

[@steveniglesias2508]

Also... Sea World Orlando is probably done with coasters for a while.. They already announced they are shifting their focus to better theming and more family rides to compete with other parks in the area.

[@StacyRayl]

Record breaking command them just breaking the steepest drop on it not the tallest and this was planned pre-cedar fair six flags I predict it be about 190 and i about 98 record beyond vertical drop with 5 inversions Record breaking break don’t mean the tallest drive. Coaster one out there

[@braddougan1919]

My 2025 Coaster/Park Predictions 1. CP will announce a waterpark expansion for 2026 2. Six Flags Project Accelerate will claim the Bat at KI 3. Universal Studios Orlando will announce HRRR will close in 2025! 4. Silver Dollar City will close Outlaw Run and replace the topper track with Iron Horse track for 2026 5. TT2 will have more downtime in 2025 6. CP will either close TT2 Permanently after 2025 or hire Intamin to fix TT2 for 2026! 7. KI announcement for 2026 will be a Huge Letdown for the KI Fanboys 8. RMC will announce more conversions and ground up Hybrids over seas in 2026! 9. DONKEY KONG Mine Cart Madness will be the sleeper hit at Epic Universe! 10. BGT will announce the biggest coaster investment in park history for 2026!

[@dreams2reality410]

I live in Florida. Definitely think Rip Ride Rocket will close at the end of 2025. Imo they will make a custom Intamin drift coaster just like in Hollywood themed to Fast n Furious. It will start at the current Fast n Furious building and wrap around all the way to the terrible Jimmy Fallon ride. They will use the current Fast n Furious building for the que. They will also have an indoor section for the coaster to utilize for an onride preshow. Seaworld Orlando will not get a new coaster until 2030. I also think Busch Garden Tampa will get a B&M hyper, Mack Stryker, or extreme spinner in the Kumba plot in 2028.

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

love your idea!!

[@Jason_Maier]

I fear for the future of Six Flags America (my home park). I'm about 3 hours from Great Adventure/Dorney Park; 2 hours from Hersheypark and Kings Dominion so ....

[@Da_knee7]

Magic Mountain being mentioned in any of your videos always gets my attention. I can't wait for the new coaster and I'm hoping they're going to try to compete with Hollywood Drift. I'm glad I rode Kumba for my first time this year and picked up a shirt with these rumors especially because I never made it to Kingda Ka. I need to make it to all the closures.

[@joshfreund6008]

Bet its an Axis and gonna be half assed

[@justinchavez9530]

I can't wait for the 2025 season, it'll be an unforgettable year for theme parks everywhere! As for my personal predictions for theme parks and coasters during that year, here's what I could see happen: - We will see the new Six Flags start to invest in some of their lower-tier parks (i.e. Six Flags America, Valleyfair, Michigan's Adventure) - SeaWorld Orlando will look to open a few new flat rides. - I predict that RMC will give Hurler at Carowinds the wood-steel hybrid conversion. - Instead of removing the ride, SFMM might look to give Superman the Escape a much-needed refurbishment. - HersheyPark will become the first park ever to build a Giga coaster that intertwines with their Hyper coaster. - I predict that Lost Island Theme Park will look to focus on some much-needed park improvements. - Epic Universe will definitely be a home run for Universal Orlando Resort. - Busch Gardens Tampa will announce a major new coaster investment for the 2026 season. - Kings Island will announce their next major coaster that will replace Invertigo and Congo Falls. BTW, I hope you have a safe and merry Christmas! 🎄🎄🎅🏻🎁🎁

[@hornbrute2529]

I think Falcon's Flight will close a lot when it is opens due to downtime, it the first of it's type ride with a buttload of sensors so I could see downtime more on the computer/electrical side. I give it a 50/50 shot to go down due to severe mechanical issue like the trains but not TT2 levels something that the ride has to close but not a whole year maybe a few months, I think the bearings in the wheel and maybe the part that contacts the rail will wear quicker than a traditional coaster due to being the fastest coaster no other ride experienced that speed (I think formula Rossa comes close). To develop better bearings or wheels (looking at the gigas millie and I305)

[@edt-ze3ke]

I could see GAdv replace Kingda Ka with 400ft Mack Spinning Tower coaster, mostly because it might extremely hard to replace something very iconic and would likely attempt to have pay a tribute to it. Unless GAdv requested a turn table to be added, capacity would be severely limited.

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

yeah for sure! Idk what to expect.

[@mithramusic5909]

I don't think they'll go above 400 feet again because of the astronomical cost, and the fact that they wouldn't get to market "tallest coaster" anymore

[@rollercoasterheaven2170]

It’s said to be an Intamin Coaster though

[@alex33952]

Sea world Orlando should open an rmc either a single rail or even a wild moose they still need more rides 48 inches family friendly.

[@cpdragster420]

On Hershey, literally no chance, the township won't allow it. I believe even Candy was pushing the height the township would go for. A 26 coaster could happen, however the waterpark is WAY overdue for something

[@alex33952]

Going to bgt next week. Been tracking kumba and it keeps saying “closed for the day” including today 12/23 curious to see what the future holds I am hoping to ride this but not sure here

[@Eddytainment]

Great vid

[@jimmiearslanian6031]

I predict that part of the KingDaKa structure will remain and be used in the New ride. I also think it would be really cool if they could convert Superman Escape into a tilt coaster, or in anyway keep the tower and incorporate it into a new Tallest Fallest

[@Mattia_Genuardi]

I have a bold prediction for my country: I predict (and hope) that in 2025 an italian park will be announcing at least one new major coaster. It could be Gardaland, Mirabilandia, Magicland... anybody. Italy hasn't received a new thrill coaster since 2015, so we're way overdue for one...

[@jaydenchrist6152]

2025 will be a bad year for my home park. 😢

[@deedeeknutsson5205]

I mentioned this previously in a diff vid about Kingda Ka. Looking at the lack of care about the grounds that need some serious serious TLC. If they don't maintain the park grounds, what does that say about how they take care of the rides ???? I have no desire to go to that park........get in there in the spring ahead of opening day and clean up the parks make them look beautiful and inviting.

[@danamarie2970]

they've started paying attention to those details recently. hopefully more of those updates and renovations to come. SFGAdv has so much potential.

[@iliketrains3546]

If the HRRR replacement is an Intamin, I hope it would be a mega coaster rather than a blitz to distinguish itself from Velocicoaster

[@RubenHATESRides]

I love that you gave my favorite park a prediction 😁😁😁 (Thorpe park) i predict it will be the replacement for the slammer (an sbno sns sky swatter

[@karlmanning2603]

Let’s be honest….. SeaWorld Orlando’s next coaster will be another B&M. They love their coasters too much!

[@MrSRArter]

3:30 Every park that Six Flags is operating through a contract: Frontier City La Ronde Six Flags Darien Lake & Hurricane Harbor Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Concord Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Oklahoma City Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Phoenix Six Flags Hurricane Harbor Rockford Six Flags Hurricane Harbor SplashTown

[@JamesSchubert-xz9iy]

Yeah. Hershey is already in full dig mode in Chocolatetown, right behind Candymonium. Giga might have to involve a lot of negotiations with Derry Township, but it's happened before with Kissing Tower, Skyrush and Candymonium. Money always talks. Predict a Screamin' Swing there in 2025. Might be right.

[@terrido2]

Holiday World is my home park. Thry announced next season they would increase the season to 132 days next year.

[@mitchel4361]

Here's a thought Brandon, and your going to love this but...I know universal Hollywood is building an intamin but ya know kondaa overseas what if that's what magic mountain is doing for 2026....that's certainly a first of its kind in the us...thoughts

[@UnBeAtabLe9735]

I went to Six Flags Magic mountain 1 time and that 1 time superman was closed I'm going back in a few months and It will reallllllllly suck if it never opens back up :(

[@eddieholt8222]

I am more confident in TT2, I give it 90% operation. Ka's replacement needs at least 1 100MPH intense launch. Montazooma'a replace has been announced for 25.

[@Fazt_Lane92]

I feel like a Mack extreme spinner themed to Hershey Kisses is inevitable for HP

[@tylerrobinson6159]

I think Magic Mountain will get one of those axis coasters.

[@1trackmindcoasters]

I just don't see how Hershey can ever build a Giga due to space and a 250 height requirement

[@terryheck9507]

The beast at winterfest would be sweet,putting a giga next to a hyper and interacting together would be awesome,and holiday world really needs a fast long hyper

[@JerseyKevin]

Prediction 4 wasn’t a prediction… you said we will be shocked and it will be a solid GP friendly ride. Not much of a prediction here -.-

[@lkeshow86]

Hyper next to a giga would be fuckin sick

[@huddyr1112]

Wait....So your POSITIVE? About TT2 now? Now it's going to be open at least 60% of the season????? Hmmm somebody knows something!!!😂😂😂

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

😝

[@vol3ric748]

Prediction 20: modified- 2025 will be the best year for theme park attendance except for six flags Great Adventure. lol

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

Lol

[@e4817]

operating "at least 60% of the time" should not be an aspirational bar. It's sad that Top Thrill has been made so poorly

[@tedthetechnician8776]

TT2 will blow less wheels than falcons flight... id be willing to stand behind TT2 operating better this year

[@homeboy_roy1570]

No capex for united! That money is for the shareholders dammit!

[@jandrew1994]

2024 was a bad year for roller coasters & amusement parks, 2025 looks pretty dark too

[@EmVee.]

This supposed Disney vs Universal battle that the community has created is so stupid

[@ThemeParkMotivation]

💚

[@StacyRayl]

Record breaking could mean they’re just breaking the steepest drop on a breaking the steepest drop on drive not tallest drive Remember this was planned planned pre-merger cedar fair six flags predict it be about 190 and i about 98 record beyond vertical drop with 5 inversions

[@CoastinWithLogan]

They own sf America

[@COASTER_CHASER_1]

I’m going with a bold prediction. Great Escape announces the closing of Steamin Demon. Replacement will be a Vekoma Wildcat or a Raptor (preferably a Jersey Devil clone) I feel like the plot will be expanded and there is room to do so.

[@MCQ-fq6bv]

Lol...Zimmerman doesn't even have Great Escape on the radar.

[@thecoasterman682]

Merry Christmas Brandon. Here i have a rollercoaster based on your favorite rollercoaster gf at your home park(quess what). kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIe3lKKLmJx6grMsi=RXVKjAfXRxDN59oH

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

Thank you! You as well! Love this coaster!!!

[@KeepRidinCoasters]

I love the colors you picked out too! Merry Christmas my friend!

[@User-f7l5n]

Let’s not forget the most important roller coaster event of 2025 being the refurbishment of journey to Atlantis SeaWorld, San Diego I’m just saying after all, this will be the most insane edition to the coaster world ever since the Big Bang

[@drewcorry5056]

A few KZbin have said they think Magic Mountain will close , be sold in 2025. I have only Ben to that park once and it was a Huge Disappointment.

[@MCQ-fq6bv]

Zero chance they are selling Magic Mountain. The youtubers that said so have no ideal what they are talking about.

[@aliensallaroundus1126]

WOKE IS WHAT IS KILLING DISNEY

[@Themeparkanxiety]

What is “woke”?

[@JamesSchubert-xz9iy]

@aliens It all started with the riddance of the iconic Splash Mountain, thanks to political correctness, as they used to call it.
