Btw for mack rides, it's gotta be hyperias first drop. That thing is absolutely insane!!!

[@phantafan7965]

I haven't ridden it, but man, I can't imagine a first drop being any better than that. It just looks so perfect.

[@battlepro7749]

It's better than ride to happiness's drop imo so it should also be better than time traveler's

​its sooo good I've done it 20 times now and it's always perfect

Hi airtime thrills! Just wanted to say thanks for helping get over my fear of coasters. Going for my 30th credit at Busch gardens Tampa! Hope it will be either iron gwazi or sheikra.

[@AirtimeThrills]

@@Bowmanfan48-88 nice!

[@GooseTCB]

I’m at 29. Gotta start somewhere! My last one was ArieForce tho 😀

[@RTWC269]

Although not many people know of this yet, I would say the newly opened Hala Madrid coaster in Dubai has the best gci element, the fast paced twisted double down is absolutely nuts

[@Weneenja]

Nighthawk's (Carowinds) vertical loop is insane. Best part of the ride and one of my favorite vertical loops ever.

[@dominicjannazo7144]

Same, flying Dutchman elements hit so different from B&M flyers.

[@ErinEvans-d1s]

Wtf

[@Studio732JRL-k7y]

​@@dominicjannazo7144 Yeah, the problem is that it's not in a good way. Except the vertical loop, which is crazy.

[@Wesley-76]

Some of these look awesome! Here's my list so far out of my 163 credits: Arrow Dynamics: second airtime hill - Magnum XL-200 (I didn't love the finale, but it was still pretty good. However, I think the 2nd hill of the first part of the ride stands out more. It gave me great flowjector every time.) B&M: first airtime hill - Candymonium (Out of all the airtime hills, this one might be my favorite. 5 seconds of pure floating goodness is hard to beat!) CCI: lateral helix - Legend (Not many non-portable coasters play with laterals, so when you get something like this, it's welcome. It tries to throw you out. It lasts forever.) Chance Rides: first drop - Lightning Run (It would probably be the finale if I didn't get stapled every time. I don't know how it's possible to not. The only element you can enjoy without it is the first drop, which is pretty good in the back.) Dinn Corp.: helix finale - Beast (If we're counting the Beast, then this at night of course! If not, I'll go with the first drop on Thunder Run, which was surprisingly good in the back.) E&F Miler: ejector hills - Hurricanes (Both of these Fun Spot coasters end with an insane ejector hill.) GCI: lateral switchback finale - Mystic Timbers (Hard to pick standout elements on these, but I really enjoyed the final run of little hills and laterals on Mystic Timbers.) Gerstlauer: big drop - Mystery Mine (Super fun with the holding brake and all. Either this or the dive loop stall at the end of the ride.) Gravity Group: first drop - Mine Blower (I enjoyed Voyage a lot more, but it didn't really have big standout elements for me like many people say it does. So I'm going with Mine Blower's first drop, which is excellent in the back, and dare I say, better than Voyage's.) Intamin: second launch - Maverick (It's hard to choose between this and anything in the first half of I305... They're all awesome!) Mack Rides: Jojo Roll - Copperhead Strike (This ride has 3 great hangtime moments, but the slow roll to start is probably my favorite. You really can't go wrong with the airtime hills either.) Maurer Rides: first drop - Rip Ride Rockit (Absolutely my favorite part of the ride. Airtime all the way down. I will have to give it more rides soon though and see if the loop hits better.) Premier Rides: top hat - Ice Breaker (This and the spike are really good, as are the launch and inversions on the Flight of Fear rides. Hard to pick one!) PTC: second airtime hill - Blue Streak (Hard to pick something for these, they're all pretty similar, some with better airtime than others. Blue Streak doesn't do much, but that second hill made me fly out of my seat. Definitely a standout moment on the ride.) RMC: first zero-g roll - ArieForce One (So many good options... This one is elite, slightly better than the ones on Wildcat's Revenge. Then there's the double up, IGwazi death roll, LRod finale, and everything on WCR and SteVe, and yeah...) S&S: flips - Tumbili (The only S&S I've ridden has standout flips, which are insane. Everything else is pretty boring.) Schwarzkopf: first vertical loop - Mindbender (Before the trims ruin the ride, you get a pretty forceful loop, which is slightly better than Scorpion's (RIP) I think.) Vekoma: launch - Rock 'n' Roller Coaster (Great launch. Either this or the vertical loop on Nighthawk.) Wiegand: longest drop - Smoky Mountain Alpine Coaster (There's a drop on this one that is longer than the standard dips, so you pick up some extra speed, so it's exciting.) Zamperla: spinning lateral turns - Galaxy Spin (Haven't ridden much by Zamperla, but I'm a big fan of the insane spin you get on this ride. I have yet to ride a spinning coaster more insane than this one, but I see my options...) Zierer: uhh... I've only ridden the Grover kids coasters by these guys, so idk

[@9876JFS54321]

Gerstlauer's best element is definitely on Schwur des Karnan in Germany. If you know you know

[@PBB-rq9df]

Love this type of video. I also love when multiple elements in a row have a satisfying flow - thinking stall into outbank into double up into arcade roll on Arie. Like a back-and-forth in a basketball game

[@ParkerSmith-wh3vv]

Buy or Sell: A Mack Hyper coaster will come to the USA within the next 10 years

[@CoasterCrafter662]

That's a fun list ! My call on the main manufacturers would be something like that : Arrow : backward's drop on Revolution. Intamin : probably the rolling thunder hill on El Toro. Yeah it's a bit shorter than the ejector on the first 2 camelbacks, but it's more brutal and the contrast with the high positive G forces turn right before is insane. BGCE's last inversion is also absolutely phenomenal... B&M : either Katun's cobra roll or Shambhala's first camelback. I'm also a huge fan of the ZGR on Black Mamba. Gerstlauer : Anubis first launch. Mack : the double inverting dive loop on Ride to Happiness, or the turnaround on Hyperia. Vekoma : FLY's second launch, without any hesitation. Zamperla : ... yeah, I guess the launch on their motocoasters is decent... Schwarzkopf : one of the 5 vertical loops on Olympia Looping. GCI : it's very specific, but it would be Wodan's s-turn under Atlantica's drop, a fast paced twist surrounded by 2 quick airtime moments. CCI : the first drop on Tonnerre de Zeus. Gravity Group : Twister's first camelback (I haven't been on The Voyage yet...) S&S : the drop on Timber drop (there's not a lot of good S&S coasters in Europe, unfortunately). RMC : not easy... Probably Zadra's second inversion (a step-up under flip hidden in a wooden structure, by night it's a marvel), or the twisted hill near the end of the ride with a ridiculous ejector+whip moment. Premier ride : the airtime at the top of the Skyrocket models (not during the drop, but before : during the upward climb). Maurer : in Tarantula, there's a horseshoe leading right into an s-turn in a trench. Surprisingly fast and punchy for a spinning coaster.

[@michael7054]

Great video! I like the Beast Helix ending a lot too. Son of Beast was alright. It's close to the bottom of my credit count but not the very bottom. I really enjoyed watching this!

[@DoswarePictures]

PTC’s best element is their trains for being accommodating to bigger people.

[@CowsiinCoasters]

the entire sequence of elements from the zero g stall to the arcade roll on arieforce might be my favorite section of any coaster ever. it's all absolute perfection, but especially the double up into the arcade roll. masterpiece.

[@_J_E_N_S_]

My favorite element from gerslauter is the looping on typhoon in Bobbejaanland, it is so fast! It feels like you don’t lose any speed

[@_J_E_N_S_]

Best thumbnail ever

[@ColeYote]

Thought up a couple candidates from your non-credits: -Mack: Ride to Happiness's's's's double-inverting dive loop, Hyperia's first drop, Hyperia's outer bank into downhill barrel roll -Intamin: the giant fuck-off airtime hill on Falcon's Flight (assuming it gets built) -Vekoma: the weird barrel roll hill they start their Top Guns with, one of the airtime hills on Hals Über Kopf, station fly-by corkscrew on Lech, first drop on Lech -PTC: Swamp Fox's (that's not a credit of yours, right?) pseudo-double-up -Gerstlauer: surprise #1 on Karnan, first drop on Karnan

[@ryane5281]

Based on what I've done, here's my list: Arrow: The backwards drop on Revolution B&M: Nemesis's Zero-G Roll Gerstlauer: Kärnan's Drop Intamin: Colossos's Camelbacks Mack Rides: Hyperia's weird outer bank Vekoma: F.L.Y.'s corkscrews Based on my limited credits, I don't feel any other manufacturers are worth including.

[@Studio732JRL-k7y]

Wish we had something like Karnan Hyperia and F.L.Y in the U.S., the Old World certainly has had our number when it comes to new coasters lately.

[@SnowghostFilms]

So here’s a summary of the types of elements on this list: -4.5 Inversions -4 Launches -8 First Drops -12.5 Other Airtime Hills -1 Helix -1 Entire Ride Just saying, for the alpine coasters those helixes give super strong, sustained laterals when you’re going full speed

[@AirtimeThrills]

@@SnowghostFilms yeah thats true, i couldn't think of one especially cool moment on any of the ones ive ridden

[@CoasterBoy325]

Twisted drops on wooden coasters are amazing. I rode Renegade this year and man, that combo of airtime and laterals just can't be beat.

[@natelink9516]

Love seeing my home park getting some love! Both Raging Bull and Maxx Force getting a spot is awesome!

[@brianmacdonald7297]

I almost never praise a Dinn coaster, but the first drop on Hercules, when it was new? Wow. 151 feet off the side of the hill, slamming into a hard right turn over the water...it was a wooden i305, twenty years early. Taking advantage of my age, nobody can prove me wrong.

[@Gaspostmates]

Hi I really enjoy watching your videos and same with my dad

[@bk31883]

I mentioned this on the 2020 video but I want to again point out the fact that Chris was so shocked by the ejector death hill on Zippin Pippin, that he screamed so loud that the little kid in front of us got scared to tears 😂

[@steveeee2351]

For Mack i would definitely put Voltron’s outerbanked wave hill up there . This thing LAUNCHES you out of your seat just after you traversed another huge airtime hill, especially when you’re on on the right outer seat.

[@CoasterNerdzz]

That thumbnail is cleeeeeeeeaaaaaan

[@AirtimeThrills]

Sometimes things just come together

[@CowsiinCoasters]

fantastic choice for morgan. that ejector hill is absolutely insane

[@tayloreeisenhauer2719]

Good to know we feel the same way about Time Traveler. That's a unique element that will be very tough to ever beat.

[@GooseTCB]

My favorite Premier element has to be Mr. Freeze’s inverted top hat going backwards. It is impossible to get used to. I love it

[@coasterworld44]

That’s the most satisfying thumbnail

[@YouTubular1234]

You come up with the most absurd yet creative ideas!!!

[@Amusementnational]

It's 11pm and I'm watching a new airtime thrills video..... HECK YEAH 😂

[@CowsiinCoasters]

also, I absolutely love voltron, it's my number two only behind ride to happiness (above gwazi, steve, fury, veloci, any east coast coaster pretty much), but the vertical launch itself wasn't really that great to me. It wasn't even my favorite launch on the ride, which was the backwards one out of the turntable. That launch is AWESOME. I do need to get out to lagoon to try wicked though, I imagine the launch feeling is a little different if you enjoyed it so much!

[@katashworth41]

Mack is probably the first drop on Hyperia, though that thing is just ridiculous all round.

[@BackRowBlitz]

Or the outerbank, crazy ride.

[@ryancommenter-r7o]

flying snake dive on Ride to Happyness… vertical drop on Time Traveler… vertical launch into a corkscrew on Voltron…

[@battlepro7749]

​@@ryancommenter-r7oeven though ride to happiness is a better ride overall, hyperia's drop clears any element on that ride

[@aridaje4345]

​@@battlepro7749I don't agree. I expected the drop to be a little more mind-blowing.

[@vandavis000]

I love time travelers first drop out of station too. It take my breath away😮❤

[@NoMansLandTP]

The Iron Gwazi wave turn deserves some recognition here. Sideways floater airtime

[@RubyMonkey530]

Honorable mention for Dinn: First turn on Hercules at Dorney Park. Absolutely bone crushing positive Gs. In retrospect, such a travesty it didn't live long enough to get RMC'd. Can only imagine what they would've done with that element.

[@karlmuster263]

Not surprised 2/3 of these are airtime moments, but there's some good variety of elements nonetheless. The big outerbank on Steel Vengence is probably my favorite, I'm glad you mentioned it. I think Maverick's launch under the station is up there too. And I'd add Sierra Sidewinder's final helix because I'm chaotic like that.

[@johnchambers8528]

When it comes to wooden coasters I have ridden many across the country but always look forward to riding Phenix and those last few hills back to the station. They are small but always give great air time.

[@carysage]

My favorite B&M element is the fake ending on Banshee.

[@Westkid3057]

For intensity with B&M's for me is the pretzel knot on Banshee, and for airtime is probably Diamondback's first drop in the back row

[@calvinpetty343]

It flows beautifully into that roll

[@Westkid3057]

​@@calvinpetty343it does give pretty good hangtime

[@paninidevOfficial]

Thanks for doing my idea man :) Love your channel

[@lewz_r]

My list: Mack: Hyperias first drop Intamin: Mozzy Roll Arrow: X2 first drop B&M: Fury first drop RMC: Lighting Rod Twist and Shout GCI: Thunderhead first drop Maurer: Rip Ride Rocket non inverted loop Gerstlauer: Staffordshire Knot Zier: Verboltens drop towards the water thing

[@Jlaps941]

It’s probably because I’m a Maverick fanboy, but the second launch always gets my blood pumping, it’s probably my favorite coaster element period

[@andreschiller3578]

I agree with most of this list but I have to put the Black loop, turn, blue loop and red loop from Olympia looping over the airtime moment on shockwave. The way you fly through the first loop, get pinned with positives in the turn, and then those back to back vertical loops are super quality moments of positives

[@mdf3530]

I love the first drop on Raging Bull, but my favorite element on a B&M coaster is within walking distance. It’s the inline twist through the base of the tower on X-Flight. I still pull my feet in for that.

[@Cedar253]

IMO, the drop on Eejanaika was really good but the best part was that zero g roll. The fact that you were getting some of the strongest airtime ever while flipping. There is nothing like it anywhere else. No I didn’t get to do Do-dodonpa because it was closed and was actually just beginning its demolition when I was there.

[@jeffreykregel3821]

Although I haven't ridden as many, but most of this list is pretty solid. One note for Premier Rides, although it's brief. I love the 100 degrees spike on SeaWorld Orlando's Ice Breaker, of course it's best in the last row. Especially now they removed the comfort collar.

[@zbfuller]

Some people saw that Big Apple Coaster’s dive loop is painful. But with those Premier comfort collar trains, that dive loop is absolutely bonkers in the back car. Just keep your head back and enjoy being yanked down the half loop portion.

[@First-Drop-Studios]

I’ve heard for Mack rides, RTH’s drop is taken at the same angle just with way more force since you take it faster.

[@aridaje4345]

Exactly

[@tdcamp03]

Appreciate the love for Raging Bull

[@davidsobilo9622]

Love the respect for raging bull. It was my second credit ever after shockwave at the same park.

[@JoeMamaLlama1234]

ive only been on a few rmc coasters but back row on that non banked double down on wildcats revenge was so unexpected and just kept going. and many dont like jersey devil that much but opening year i got the back row and going off the midcourse you cant see the drop so it was the sharpest tho brief moment of airtime i ever experienced. those are my favorite rmc elements but ive only been on those 2 and steel vengeance only so far. as well as he may never truly like skyrush like i do, it has my favorite first drop of all time. front row middle seat. ill always sing its praises.

[@topbaker4651]

X2 first drop..i have been on that ride at least 100 times, never gets old. Tatsu's pretzel loop never disappoints.

[@midnightmoonlight04091]

For me, for the manufacturers coasters I’ve done at least one of that you’ve said, it would go: (Spoiler on Intamin’s if someone doesn’t know). Arrow Dynamics=The Big One’s First drop B&M=Nemesis Reborn’s downwards helix GCI=Wicker Man’s first drop Gerstlauer=Anubis: The Ride’s launch GravityKraft=Cú Chulainn’s overbanked turn due to the rest of ride being painful Intamin=I personally can’t choose between Th13teen’s Drop Track and The Wave’s Zero-G Roll, that element on The Wave is crazy for a family park Mack Rides would probably be Hyperia’s outward banked turn into the downward Heartline roll but also the stall is good and also the Jojo roll on The Ride to Happiness Maurer Rides would probably be Spinball Whizzer’s downward S-bend into the 2nd horseshoe element Pinfari… umm… Big Apple at Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach with its main drop… I guess… SBF Visa Group would probably be Mad Mouse at Clarence Pier, it is a Zyklon / Galaxy so I don’t really know, I guess the first drop Vekoma would 100% be Fianna Force but for element, I have no idea either the final airtime hills or the Zero-G Roll Zamperla would most likely be Pinball X at Flamingo Park but that is just an ordinary spinning wild mouse but when I went on it, it didn’t spin so I have no idea (I’m sorry)… Zierer would probably be Minifigure Speedway (Team Allstars) final turn back into the station backwards as that is surprisingly intense.

[@history_leisure]

"Middle of Nowhere, Utah" Its actually in a suburb between Salt Lake and Ogden with a commuter rail line paralleling. You don't have commuter rail in the middle of nowhere in America unless your Metro North or maybe the end of the MBTA's Fitchburg line-but there's a Great Wolf nearby so its debatable

[@Katesaprincess]

I rode Al toro for the first time the other day and I can’t get it out of my head. It’s so insane like those camel backs tried to dispose of me😭 10/10

[@cltcoasters]

12:42 the pullout from this element is so brutal

[@TristanCS]

The first drop of Time Traveller is absolutely one of Mack's top elements... if it wasn't for that out of this world overbanked-outside-invertig-twisted-whatever turn of Hyperia... what the freaking f#, Mack!!! It feels like absolutely nothing I've experienced before.

[@SkyrushFanboy]

My favorites from what I've experienced: Arrow: magnum finale B&M: Giga drops CCI: Legend's double helix Chance: Lightning run finale Dinn: Thunder Run's first (and only) airtime hill Miler: Kozmo's Kurves ejector hill (it legit feels like an rmc in the back row) GCI: Mystic Timbers in general? Idk Gerstlauer: SpongeBob RBP drop (I haven't done any gerstlauers outside of MN lol) Gravity group: hard to choose. Voyage is incredible Intamin: Skyrush first drop, Skyrush ejector hills, Skyrush Stengel dive, Skyrush in general (I can't wait to get back on Skyrush in 2 days!!!!!!) Mack: Something on cobra's curse I guess I haven't ridden many Macks Maurer: HRRR block zones (snore) Morgan: Phantom finale (which I've experienced 177 times this year alone so far) Premier: Either sky rocket 2 inline twist or sky rocket (kw) mid course drop PTC: Phoenix double down RMC: Hard to choose. S&S: Lawn ornament's zero g stall SBF: Idk? I've only ridden whirlwind at Waldameer lol Schwarzkopf: SDL loop (I've only ridden SDL and scorpion (rip)) Vekoma: Invertigo loop backwards Trashperla: I've only ridden their garbage kiddie coasters so i don't freaking know Zierer: Impulse first drop

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

My best airtime moment on any Pinfari was on Looping Star at Maryland's Jolly Roger, riding in the back car. The one in Michigan didn't seem as strong, but it would still take 2nd place.

[@donovannnn]

Those tiny hills on mountain coaster are actually insane with full speed

[@nathanward9972]

[@niki-1887]

Cool video 👍 I gotta say, for me the airtime hill after FLYs second launch is Vekoma's best element

[@Soviet_Doggo1]

W video, mr thrills.

[@dominicjannazo7144]

The best SBF visa element is the second of three hills on their "big air" model. It gives some actual airtime, and as its spinning cars, it can be sideways or backwards. Also the hamster wheel cars are wacky, but it's hard to call them an element.

[@Fantaman058]

Mack rides best current element in my opinion is the JoJo roll out of the station on Ride to Happyness on their extreme spinner coaster.

[@fms7293]

El Toro drop in the last car is just something else. No other drop rips you down like that. If you never rode toro. I feel bad for you.

[@MattMcIrvin]

I feel like there aren't many manufacturers where I've ridden enough coasters to really have an opinion. Ok, Arrow. I think my favorite Arrow element might have been the final drop on Big Bad Wolf. It wasn't huge and it wasn't actually even very steep, but it seemed almost vertical. Some of that is presentation: it was preceded by a tall, slow second lift and was hidden by trees so that you couldn't really see it until you were right in it, then suddenly you were plunging toward the river with the track over your head. The ride had a real sense of drama; that bit was almost a prefiguring of the dive coaster. But Drachen Fire's corkscrew halfway down the first drop was pretty great too. Too bad about the rest of the ride. PTC: this is another defunct one: the pre-drop and swooping turnaround into the first drop on Mr. Twister. Riding that with nothing but a buzzbar, it really felt like you were going to pitch over the edge 90 feet down. The Knoebels Twister and Twister II both attempt to resurrect this, but I haven't ridden them so I don't know how they are. Vekoma: the backwards drop into the forceful dark helix on Expedition Everest. Intamin: oh, probably Superman: The Ride's first drop. Though I also really like that run of bunny hills that comes out of nowhere right at the end, after you get out of the last tunnel. You think this long, long ride is basically over, and it's "...and another thing!" B&M: First drop on Shambhala. Or maybe the ampersand. Or maybe that speed hill that follows. Nah, I'll go with the first drop. CCI: I really like Boulder Dash's far turnaround, for some reason. The rest of the ride has gotten rough and it's come down in my rankings, but the laterals on that turnaround hold up, along with the realization that after this insane ride through the woods you're being hurled into a whole second half along the lake that is somehow more powerful. Premier: I'll go with your pick; it was actually more or less what I was thinking. "Those twists that Sky Rocket IIs do to keep you upright."

[@MattMcIrvin]

...Not a lot of inversions there. Here are some inversions: RMC: The zero-g stall punching through the lift hill on Wicked Cyclone. Gerstlauer: The lazy, hangtimey vertical loop on 320/320+ coasters. (Most enthusiasts seem to like the roll more as a hangtime moment, but that loop off the first drop wins for me.) But these are manufacturers where I've only ridden one coaster.

[@coreyklima8929]

Thumps up for putting the Toro hills on the list. Couldn't agree more

[@aridaje4345]

I think the best one for Mack is either the drop of rth in the back row (better if backwards, it's much faster and higher than the one on time traveler) or the double inverting dive loop always in rth.

[@psychopompinc.646]

I'm a lover of bone-crushing helices, so I would pick the pre-trim Goliath helix at SFMM for Giavanola. Strangely, I've never grayed out on it so I count myself lucky. For Arrow I would probably pick the first drop of Shock Wave at SFGA before it was torn down. It might just be nostalgia, but I rode it the year it opened and it was insane. Even better than the first drop of Viper at SFMM, which is saying something. X2's first drop is a pretty epic choice though too. Very different in feeling and I can see why you chose it.

Video idea: Top 20 roller coaster inversions.

[@RollerCoasterClara]

I was so sad when I went to tusenfryd on august 5th and storm was closed all day!😭😭 at least I got on all the others, and got those creds and a new number 1 (I live in the uk and haven’t ridden icon or hyperia and tusenfryd was my first abroad theme park)

[@panzerofthelake7661]

For GCI I’d say the first drop on wodan at Europa park since you go into it with a good amount of speed

[@jaybruminator]

Will we get a manufacturer worst elements video?

[@AirtimeThrills]

@@jaybruminator i wasnt planning on it but i might

[@jaybruminator]

@@AirtimeThrills or manufacturer that gave up on a potential good element

[@LSM-Jenson]

You need to visit the UK for some of their elements and coasters we need an alton towers vlog

[@MostAmazingEverything]

I can’t wait for you to ride hyperia

[@NorthernRidesYaBoi]

Cobra's scorpion tail was also extended this year to now go upward by the end. It gives a teeny tiny sensation of inverted airtime in the front row. It's crazy

Morgan: IDK something on West Coaster Dinn: Wolverine Wildcat’s drops CCI: The Airtime Hills on Shivering Timbers

You don't have to go to Nowhere Utah for a vertical launch anymore! You can also go to Germany or Dubai!
