[@ChiefScarneck]

For Ohio, I would've changed out Orion with Diamondback. Millennium Force has the giga coaster slot filled for the state and thought it was an overall better ride. Orion was a fun ride, but I felt between Millennium Force and Diamondback, they made a more complete set of coasters than Orion was. I also did like how you actually went with geographical location for South Carolina and not just another enthusiast who considers Intimidator, Afterburn, and Copperhead Strike to be in North Carolina. It was always a pet peeve of mine. I get the park's address is in NC, but if it's over the border, it's in that state, plain and simple.

[@JJJJ-he8bz]

I feel like Orion blows Diamondback away and in the front row might surpass millennium force. It may not have as many hills as Diamondback but Orion’s hills are just far more powerful and intense with the first drop being even better than Fury or Millennium Forces drop in the back row because of how sharp the crest is. Diamondback back crawls overs it’s hills and you have to sit in the back row to feel any force.

[@thecoasterbear]

Orion is nowhere near millenium force and may not even be the second best ride in its own park (Diamondback, Mystic Timbers) but how do you not include the only strata coaster without over the shoulder restraints in the world on the mount Rushmore of ohio.

Cool idea for rankings! The only state I've rode about all the major coasters in would be Florida (but soon to be Georgia too). I do agree with the picks for the Florida coasters, so I don't have much to provide in my own opinion, so for the 3 people that enjoy my comments, I'll just give my top 4 coasters for Florida: 4. Incredible Hulk 3. Hagrid's 2. Manta 1. Mako I think this also does well for me in terms of variety. I think Iron Gwazi and VelociCoaster (which I haven't ridden) have a good chance at my top 4, but it's some stiff competition as I love all these coasters. Montu I only rode once and I got off thinking, "what the heck was that?" so I definitely need more rides to get a better opinion, but I don't think it'll make top 4 for me. Haven't rode SheiKra, but I don't see that being in my top 4 (but still being good). The other upcoming coasters (TRON, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Ice Breaker) all look great, but I don't think they'll be top 4 worthy either. This is a strange comment because I usually provide my own opinion/ranking but I don't have much of a differing opinion on this, so hope someone enjoyed reading a random person's thoughts. Oh, and here's top 4 for Tennessee 4. Wild Eagle 3. Thunderhead 2. Mystery Mine 1. Lightning Rod

Superman and Wild One are the ultimate ejector machines, while both Batwing and Joker's Jinx pack the positives. -Six Flags New England has one of the best Top Twos in the country according to most enthusiasts. Once you add Batman and Joker in, this state is easily Top 10 worthy.

I did grow up in Ohio, so I am a little biased, but with that said, I think Ohio would beat Florida, based on my Mt Rushmores and opinions: Iron Gwazi = Steel Vengeance- Cancel out Velocicoaster > Maverick- Small win for Fl (Maverick is still fantastic and ultimately a Top 15 coaster, but Velocicoaster will likely beat it when I get around to it) Mako < Magnum- Magnum is the best hyper I've ridden. There I said it. It's airtime is just amazing. So is Mako, but Magnum is something else. Medium win for Magnum. Montu > Millie- This is pretty much as close as it gets, but I'll give it to Montu because I just enjoy it a speck more. Small win for Montu. So it's close; in fact, I'd say it's tied after 4, based on the 2 small wins for Fl, but the Medium win for Oh (that I could honestly go large win with if I wanted) so I'm going to go to sudden death. Whichever number we go to, Mt Rushmore is added to in the state beyond 4 for this exercise. Manta < TTD- This is based only on ride experience. TTD is a rush, but it's always closed, so that's a knock. Ultimately, even with that, I'll give a small win, and the overall win, to Ohio. So this was close, and that's just with CP versus Fl really. I haven't been to KI in 10 years, so I didn't include it. Ultimately, I think only Mystic Timbers would've had a shot at Ohio's Mt Rushmore, maybe Orion, because I'm low on Millie, but really Mystic. So yeah. That's that.

Ohio still wins with first 200, 300, and 400 ft coasters and the longest wooden roller coaster, but Pennsylvania and California have a stronger lineups to make it seem like less of a landslide. Edit: I would personally put Ohio over Florida, but if you took history into it, Florida falls hard. Not to mention at this point I don't believe iron gwazi will ever open.

And that's before the history, like you said. Re-introducing KI, The Beast, while not the greatest today, has so much history, as does the The Racer, as it basically re-ignited America's love affair with coasters, and KI suddenly has some weight too, along with its awesome coasters even today.

I bet you were dying to make this video while at the same time putting it off because of just how difficult it can be to first pick the states and then rank them accordingly based on your picks of best coasters in those states. It sounds easier than it is but you did a great job. Always going to be some people that disagree with certain coasters or states but I really think you did your homework here. Wtg! Keep it up man. Great content!

If you're going to have a Mount Rushmore of coasters you should at least explain which four South Dakota coasters are the best. In fact what this channel needs is more South Dakota coaster coverage!

[@edwardrhoads7283]

#1 the road behind Mt Rushmore. If you have never driven it, it is quite the trip! Best of all, no lines.

Have you considered doing a countdown of which parks in America (or the world) have the most roller coasters beginning with parks that only have one (ZDT's with Switchback and Bay Beach with Zippin Pippin to name a few) and ending with the one with the most (Six Flags Magic Mountain).

[@xander6282]

This is a great concept!

[@ClassMammalia]

From the title I guessed it was going to be a sort of one-hit wonder video; the top 10 coasters that are their state's only good coaster, just like how Mount Rushmore is the only reason most people would visit South Dakota.

[@DoswarePictures]

And there’s only two coasters in South Dakota

I got an amazing ride on American thunder a couple weeks ago. It was a really warm day with a full train and I don’t remember ever getting that great of a ride on it. It’s always a really good ride but it was Awesome!! Seriously don’t know how so many people seem to not give it it’s due respect

[@ethanhcomposer]

California's got AWESOME coasters. GhostRider is my favorite coaster ever. Layout is stunning and it's just smoother and longer than Toro

[@matthewmiller3411]

I love seeing kennywood get some love

[@zank5840]

I'd think Massachusetts would at least deserve a spot on the honorable mentions considering we have Superman Wicked Cyclone Batman the Dark Knight Thunderbolt

[@bijello]

At a small family fun center near where I live there is a kiddie coaster set in a mini mount Rushmore

[@bigc1280]

I think you should have mentioned Kentucky, as 2 Parks made the list there. You have from Kentucky Kingdom Lightening Run, Storm chaser, & Kentucky Flyer, as well as Kentucky Rumbler from Beech Bend.

I just went to Kennywood yesterday. I do not get why Phantom is rated so high. Steel Curtain felt just OK as well. It might be because I just spent the last week at Cedar Point and road their top coasters multiple times, but Kennywoods top 2 rides felt tame in comparison. I had the most fun on Thunderbolt as I was whipped around in my seat and felt ejector airtime in the back.

You got it exactly right with Florida. It’s tight between OH and FL, and I disagree with your OH picks. FL: 1: Iron Gwazi 2: VelociCoaster 3: Mako 4: Montu OH: 1: Steel Ven 2: Maverick 3: Diamondback 4: Mystic Timbers

[@nickinchi]

I think cornball express could’ve been replaced with steel hawg, I think it would’ve been a nice balance of wooden & steel coasters for indiana and I think steel hawg is better than cornball express but I know that’s not a very popular opinion, great list regardless!

[@eriklakeland3857]

There’s also the relocated Schwarzkopf that’ll be a powerhouse when it opens

[@tonystefanuk2149]

if you had a mount rushmore of people who were important in the history of roller coasters who would go on it? I don't know much about it but I'm guessing Anton Schwarzkopf and Alan Schilke would be contenders

[@DoswarePictures]

What about Ron Toomer?

[@VWdabug]

Georgia might get into the top 10 with arieforce 1 at fun spot atlanta.
