Ranking Every Coaster From My First Trip to Australia

We need to get this man to 100k ASAP…..

[@Basketballkid2342]

Yeah he 100% deserves it

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Honestly I'm surprised he hasn't already reached it him and canobie coaster deserve way more subs

I can hear Jake from Maloney's Coasters sobbing and screaming when you put Motocoaster in your top 10 Australian coasters.

[@AmateurThoosie]

lol 😂

[@MaloneysCoasters]

I'm sorry I was trying to cry and scream quietly but I couldn't help it

[@adam_nathan]

Glad you enjoyed your trip! Maybe you could make a “top 20 roller-coaster experiences” or something to factor in the upcharge back seat rides?

[@jzckvsn]

Your thoughts on Big Dipper really made me more interested in the ride overall. It may be short, but that launch and restraints look awesome! Hopefully a park in the us buys a hot racer

[@AirtimeThrills]

Should only be a matter of time. I can see a small park like a fun spot doing it

[@alantrotter2077]

Solid analysis. I liked Blue Fire at Europa a lot and Ride to Happiness is my #1 overall, so I suspect I would really like the back spinning car of Steel Tapian. DC Rivals has to be in my top 10 bucket list rides. I rode Tonnerre 2 Zeus in the back car going backwards (I guess they changed it just recently), so I suspect that Leviathan in that back row would be quite good.

[@michael7054]

Great video! I really enjoyed watching this! Itll be fun seeing some of these coasters in your top 100 at the end of the year. The title of the video makes me wonder how long it would take you to go back to Australia if you ended up back there. Id love to see a new European trip or Japan trip. Europe has a lot of interesting parks.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Japan is definitely next. If i ever go back to Australia itll definitely be a long time since id prioritize other places first

[@michael7054]

@@AirtimeThrills Japan would be awesome to watch! Yeah, going to a lot of the parks in Europe you haven't been to would make more since then going to Australia again for a 2nd time for now.

when you said 16 coasters i was like damnnn… you can ride 16 coasters at one park in america 😅😮

[@DoswarePictures]

My home park has less than half.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Haha yes thats sad but true. Definitely not a credit gold mine

[@Marty_NZ]

DC Rivals ending hills launching you to New Zealand lol. Sounds like a cheap way to visit me. My top 5 Aussie rank would be: 1. Leviathan, 2. DC Rivals, 3. Superman Escape, 4. Steel Taipan, 5. Jet Rescue. Sounds like your Jet Rescue ride was just running a bit crap.

[@IsleofPigsStudios]

Must have been some trip. Hope you had fun on it!

[@MarsJenkar]

Looks like he did. Looks like he also enjoyed the cricket match he attended (T20, league championship tournament).

[@AirtimeThrills]

Yup, i got the whole thing documented in my Australian vlog series

[@VWdabug]

I wish i could do it,i just got back from a trip to las vegas and rode the 3 rides there 3.canyon blaster (8/10) rough 2.big apple coaster (9/10) rough but it was at my hotel 1.El loco (10/10) really good

[@AirtimeThrills]

Canyon blaster rough? Thats too bad

[@TheBolligerMabillardLover]

Canyon blaster was rough in the mid 90s when I rode it, and it had just opened a few years before. I have never ridden El loco. Big apple coaster is ok. It was a little bit rough but not too bad.

[@zacg_]

02:23 I want to congratulate you Chris on correctly saying the plural of helix. Not an important thing but I rarely hear enthusiasts say it right.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Helixes sounds weird

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

I honestly like the word helixes more than helices and I have absolutely no reason why

[@daboiz172]

Chris could I make a montage of times when you are mad about Skyrush and skyrush lapbars??

He should make that a short

[@AirtimeThrills]

Do it

[@loganwilson4101]

Going to Australia next month and that’s great advice regarding loose articles! I was going to just wear my zipper shorts, but now I may just keep a small backpack… are there bins on ride platforms? (Specifically at Warner bros movie world)

[@AirtimeThrills]

There are except for superman, nothing in pockets and nothing in the station. You have to get a free locker before getting in line

[@loganwilson4101]

@@AirtimeThrills awesome, thank you so much! Keep up the great content!

[@hmsverdun]

So I'm a bit conflicted on whether I should be asking this but do you think that rides are affected by the trains as I dont like the look of the gravity group trains on Levithan and it seems to be a general consensus that they are rough or is it just a case of the coasters are what they are because of overall course design? Lots of people seem to like the GCI Ghostrider/Mystic TImber type train trypes for example but I dont know how much thats a restraints only thing. Just have it in my head as a potential video idea even if im not sure if any one can quantify it because of problems like Inverted vs not inverted v flyer v Hyper train for B&M alone. It might have already be done but if it is I think it would probably have been a while back and opinions can change.

[@AirtimeThrills]

It could be the timberliners or it could just be the way GG does their track. Im leaning toward the track. Voyage doesnt use timberliners and sometimes thats crazy rough

[@generic_username_here1]

It’s crazy how all of the coasters are upside down

[@AirtimeThrills]

The only part when you're right side up is the inversions

[@boltonnam5584]

Cmon ya gotta include the scenic railway one of the oldest coasters in the world (aka 2nd oldest made in 1911)

[@CoasterParadise12323]

Are you going to ACE 2024 Spring Conference at Kings Island?

[@infinitecoasters8769]

The reason Australia as a whole is very strict on loose articles is because of the accident that happened on Dreamworld’s rapids in 2016, and I think some other stuff caused it too. Australia has gotten a lot stricter about amusement ride safety as a whole in the past few years. Also the whole Gravity Group roughness problem should hopefully be fixed from here on out. Bobcat at Six Flags Great Escape is opening with Pre-Cut track, and I believe all the Gravity Group Coasters going forwards will open with Pre-Cut track, at least that’s what I remember seeing, don’t quote me on this.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Makes sense, even though loose articles have nothing to do with the Dreamworld accident

[@alex33952]

Interesting content. Curious on when the USA will get a backwards back row seems like an easy money maker. Also any parks in North America that could be a candidate for Mack hyper? Maybe bgt?

[@AirtimeThrills]

I always thought SFMM would be great for a mack hyper if they got rid of viper

[@hmsverdun]

@@AirtimeThrills Please dont manifest this. I know Viper is super janky but I love the thing. Let them take out scream and have B &M Hyper/Giga welcome you in and run all across the parking lot and something else for Viper 10 years from now-if you have to do it.

Fun fact about Mack Water Coasters, 3rd row left seat gets you least wet.

[@StamfordBridge]

I enjoyed hearing your rundown. I suspect Leviathan might be my favorite. I notice that whenever you discuss Big Red Boat you conspicuously avoid mentioning The Wiggles. Is this a sore spot for you? 😢 🤗

[@AirtimeThrills]

I probably forgot because the theming was pretty scanty, and i really dont know what the wiggles are

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

@AirtimeThrills Good thing defunctland has a 40 minute video talking about the wiggles

[@CaptainAtria]

As a person living on the east coast of America, 4-6 hour drive away from dozens of the world's best rollercoasters, holy shit I feel lucky to not be an australian thoosie lol. Massive props to Village Roadshow for giving the country a few rides worth caring about.

[@cjoshuacarter]

he did miss a few, like the gerstlauer eurofighter in perth, the maurer skyloop and vekoma suspended family coaster both at gumbuya world in victoria. plus, there are 5 new coasters coming to dreamworld and movie world this and next year

[@cancercentral9997]

​@@cjoshuacarter There's also two small coasters at Aussie World, located on the Sunshine Coast (About 2 hours from the Gold Coast)

[@lachlanmapley4768]

Didn’t just miss out on wild mouse’s, also missed scooby doo spooky coaster

[@AirtimeThrills]

True. Funny that was also closed for my brother in 2018 so he's 0 for 2 on that thing

[@JohnSmith-mk5xm]

Chris, do you have any tips for an American going to Australia for the first time? Which month would you suggest going?

[@AirtimeThrills]

I like going in their summer (our winter) just to maximize the chances of everything being open, but I believe those Sydney and Gold coast parks are open year round. The train works great in Sydney to get around, you probably want to drive or use Uber to get around the gold coast, but all 3 major parks are within 15-20 mins of each other.

[@ThemeParkOgre]

Gold Coast local here. Due to the parks being 365 there's usually always at least one major ride closed for maintenance. Only times you can almost guarantee everything to be open is during major holidays, so I'd say January / April / July

[@brycebtwin4707]

You should rank all the coasters at sfsl

[@thebestdecepticonSoundwave]

WOAH

[@bradymartin9055]
