For me I think the number one for me is actually Kings Dominion with I305 and Twisted Timbers... Though Six Flags New England also gets a big shoutout to me.

[@alantrotter2077]

Very interesting topic. I like the video overall. My top 20 would look like this: 1. Cedar Point (Steel Vengeance & Maverick) 2. SFMM (X2 & Twisted Colossus) 3. Kings Dominion (I-305 & Twisted Timbers) 4. SF Gadv (El Toro & Jersey Devil) 5. BG Tampa (Iron Gwazi & Montu) 6. SFFT (Iron Rattler & Wonder Women) 7. SFNE (Wicked Cyclone & Superman) 8. Silver Dollar City (Outlaw Run & Time Traveler) 9. Carowinds (Fury 325 & Afterburn) 10. Hershey Park (SkyRush & Candymonium) - Biggest Snub from video 11. SFOG (Twisted Cyclone & Goliath) 12. Kentucky Kingdom (Storm Chaser & Lightning Run) 13. Kings Island (Orion & Diamondback for me, Mystic Timbers for everyone else) 14. CGA (RailBlazer & GoldStriker) 15. Dollywood (Lightning Rod & Thunderhead) - Other snub from video 16. Holiday World (Voyage & Thunderbird) 17. Canada's Wonderland (Leviathan & Behemoth) 18. Kennywood (Phantom's Revenge & Steel Certain) 19. Sea World Orlando (Mako & Manta) 20. Six Flags Mexico (Medusa & Superman ) The 3 I left on that were close were Knott's (GhostRider & XCelerator), BG Williamsburg (Pantheon & Alpengeist) and Six Flags Great America (Goliath & Maxx Force)

[@AirtimeThrills]

I couldnt put Hershey on here. Maybe if you love Skyrush, but even just looking at maybe Candymonium and Storm Runner, that top 2 isnt any better than Knotts which barely made it

[@coastercraziness]

Alan Trotter Thank you for putting SFFT higher I possibly would say slightly higher but I ride them all the time so I’m maybe a little biased but both rides are incredible

[@kevinjohnson-ep9ox]

Thanks for the Mako/Manta combo. It's far superior to Mako/Kraken. Also, Leviathan/Behemoth. I finally made my very first trip to Canada's Wonderland last season for Yukon. I was disappointed (in comparison to Valravn). I loved Leviathan and Behemoth (both underrated). The biggest surprise for me was Vortex, my new #1 suspended of all time.

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

For Holiday World’s top 2, I used to prefer Thunderbird, but after the insane front row rain rides I got on Legend during HWN 2020, I prefer it. Voyage is still the #1 though

[@MrGoldMan]

a top 2 has to be the only two standout coasters there, which is why I wouldn’t put cp so high. Cp is stacked with great coasters and you won’t leave the park just remembering the top 2

[@ctskifreaks]

I was sitting here saying to myself "Okay.... where the heck is he putting New England?!" Once it got to the top 5 I was shocked - at #3, I figured I was forgetting a park... But then you did it. You absolute mad lad.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I was surprised about when you talked about Canada's Wonderland's top 2, but I can agree it is interchangeable. For me, I love Behemoth the most, but sometimes, I even put Leviathan on top. I love the speed that Leviathan has, along with its airtime, but Behemoth has more of it for me, and I love airtime ~ But Yukon Striker is really forceful, so I even interchange that ride with Leviathan. For me, #2 is a hard pick for me between Leviathan and Yukon Striker.

[@bryangintora9541]

As a guy who has Six Flags New England as his home park thank you so much for giving it the Number One spot. Yes the lap bars do suck on Superman but that will never stop me from going on what I call the best Hyper Coaster I’ve been on so far. Also after the first time I rode Wicked Cyclone my legs were jelly and that is the first and only RMC I’ve ridden but I will never stop praising it. I always look forward towards getting to go on two amazing coasters that’s only like an hour and a half away from where I live. Thanks again Airtime for this.

[@aidendoescoasters]

[@mikemcmahon7624]

I'm not, even though it's my home park. BGW has a great lineup but it arguably doesn't have a super elite coaster that would put it on this list. SFNE definitely has a better 1-2, but I'd take BGW's total lineup 13 times out of ten. Of course, I'm expecting Pantheon to change this. That thing looks incredible.

[@kw6stheater539]

I just saw this in my recommended, and the preview immediately caught my eye. And the intro is golden, Groundhog Day is so underrated!

[@coastercountdowns7736]

Good list but personally, I’d put the top 3 in this order:- 1.) Cedar Point 2.) Magic Mountain 3.) SFGAd And I think that Hersheypark should definitely be on this list, I’d prefer to ride Skyrush and Candymonium (which looks to be amazing) than Medusa and a weak RMC. Good video ;)

[@zacg_]

Remember, Chris has his issues with Skyrush's restraints so that's why it's not here. It would have been funny if he had included it but said that Storm Runner and Candymonium are the top two just to piss people off.

Ones a rapid fire airtime machine and the other’s a long intense hyper and both make the most out of their layouts. Sure the rest of the parks line up can’t really compete with that (insert boomerang joke) but that top 2 gives guys like me who have SFNE something to talk about and be happy with.

Only been to SFNE once in 2016, but I rode Wicked Cyclone over and over (got on the incredible Superman only once cuz that's when they were doing the VR goggles that took forever - why bother? It's a perfect ride without them). I still remember those two incredible coasters so well, I was thinking to myself "even though it's not my home park, I hope SFNE is here cuz those two were awesome." I didn't think it'd be #1 but was happy to see! (Living in NYC, home park is SFGA so always happy to see your love for El Toro. Best first drop, you are correct.)

Possible correction at 11:30 you say intamin has built to giga coasters out of six. I’m not sure if it is intentional but you May have forgotten red force the possible seventh giga and intamin’s 3rd. I also recognize that you may be using an alternate definition of giga to exclude Orion, millennium force, and possibly add in Superman at magic mountain. Not criticizing you for any definition that you choose to use, just a possible mistake.

I think it's a little premature to call that one, though clearly Chris felt that including other unopened coasters was acceptable.

[@digitaldeathsquid3448]

There's two parks here in the UK that I've been to that I feel offer some good 1-2 punches in terms of coaster line-up 1. Chessington World Of Adventures. Coasters: Dragon's Fury (Maurer spinner) and Vampire (Arrow suspended with Vekoma trains). Despite being more of a family-oriented theme park, both of these coasters offer great rides. Dragon's Fury is arguably the flagship attraction at the park right now, featuring some pretty cool elements including a vertical hairpin turn right after the drop, and a way to adjust how fast the car will spin by weighting the ride differently with the passengers. Vampire is the ride with more heritage, and features an action-packed layout that twists you through the trees and features one good foot-chopper element as you fly over a wrought iron fence. The last time I rode it, I was pleasantly surprised by how forceful the ride could be in the front row, and the ride is still really smooth. 2. Alton Towers. Coasters: Nemesis (B&M Invert) and The Smiler (Gerstlauer Infinity). Alton Towers has one of the most well-rounded coaster line-ups in the UK, with each new coaster known for innovation and record-setting (even if their record is simply "first coaster of its kind built in the UK, such as the very first B&M Dive coaster Oblivion). Nemesis was the first B&M Invert to be built in the UK, and is probably the most intense ride in the entire country. One moment guaranteed to cause a few grey-outs is the Zero-G roll right after the downward helix, which you take at some speed. A short and sweet ride that will leave you in awe. The Smiler, by contrast, is a much longer ride, and it currently holds the world record for the most inversions on any coaster at 14. Unlike the previous record holder (an Intamin 10-inversion model called Colossus), not one moment on the coaster feels repetitive (aside from the back-to-back dive loops). Amidst the dense, twisting layout, there are even two airtime hills that are surprisingly good. In my opinion this is the best ride at the park (with Nemesis coming in a close second) and I can't wait to go back some day to try and ride some of the coasters I didn't get a chance to on my first visit a few years back (Galactica was closed for maintenance and Wicker Man was under construction)

[@ppipowerclass]

I agree with your coasters at Cedar Point. I really need to get to some of the other parks. I really wanna try Jersey Devil. Those Raptors look sweet.

[@zacharyoehl5699]

I thought that six flags New England would be a top 5 not #1. I guess that I’m lucky it is my home park

[@thebigethonios]

I would put Lagoon as an honorable mention, Cannibal and Wicked

[@jaxontrimble6120]

PlanetCoasterVideos not the best home part tho😂

[@thebigethonios]

It’s better than most, if you live in the western areas especially

[@Morgetiud]

Wicked really sinks that possibility

[@coastercraziness]

Dragon Mountain Fanboy I mean Wicked isn’t that bad. It’s a lot of fun and has some good moments

[@thebigethonios]

If you loosen the restraint enough, you can get flung over the first tower.

[@CLEsportsc]

I love how you used no limits 2 footage.

[@generic_username_here1]

When your home park, Dollywood, didn’t even make it :(

[@zacg_]

Clear number one but the park's second best coaster is highly debatable.

[@AirtimeThrills]

@@zacg_ agreed. Mystery Mine and Thunderhead were disappointing last year. The others arent good enough to be on the list

[@generic_username_here1]

Airtime Thrills I understand, PS I really like your videos and I usually don’t travel much so Dollywood is really all I have so I don’t have much to go off of so that is probably why I like rides like Thunderhead and Mystery Mine so much.

[@BunScholar]

I love that you give GhostRider so much attention. I feel like it, and Knott's in general, are kind of underrated and overlooked by the bulk of the enthusiast community. When I lived in the US Knott's was the closest park to me and I visited it whenever I got the chance. It beat out Disneyland as our kid's first theme park because it's so fun, much cheaper, and over all less of a headache to visit. And Knott's Scary Farm is my absolute favorite seasonal theme park event.

[@josegtorres3291]

Six flags great adventure has kinda very intense g forces and el toro agruably the best wooden coaster in the world and adding nj devil already having nitro it’s crazy

[@hammadkhan5610]

Benjamin Waterhouse fahrenheit isn’t that great tbh

[@BecauzRacecar]

I won't disagree with your pick from Cedar Point, but I've personally experienced something truly unique that probably tops anything out there. Backseat ride on Steel Vengeance followed by a rollback on Dragster

[@DakotaRileyMedia]

I live in the Louisville metro and I love how 3 of the 4 parks that are relatively close to me are on this list. (Holiday World, Kentucky Kingdom, my home park and one I spent a summer doing ride ops 2 years ago, and King's Island). Being in the Midwest, its defiantly a great place for coaster enthusiasts (I'm not an enthusiast, but I love watching all about the different coasters and theme parks.

[@simonvandiver2640]

Same I live in Ky but my home park is holiday world

[@Wesley-76]

Of the parks I've been to, I will pick 2 coasters as their 1-2 punch and rank them: EPCOT and Animal Kingdom don't have enough coasters to qualify. 14. Fun Spot Atlanta (Scream'n Eagle and Kiddie Coaster, the only 2 in the park. However, ArieForce One will be incredible, though it will make the parks 2nd punch very weak until they get something else.) 13. Legoland Florida (Dragon and Flying School, those are the ones I enjoyed as a kid. Today, Great Lego Race would most likely be one of them, with Coastersaurus (which I didn't ride) likely being the other.) 12. Wild Adventures (Twisted Typhoon and Boomerang. This park has the legendary Vekoma Duo, and they're both actually good. I prefer Twisted Typhoon, but these are objectively pretty balanced.) 11. Fun Spot Orlando (White Lightning and Freedom Flyer. I love White Lightning, and while I still enjoy Freedom Flyer, it doesn't give the park too strong of a 2nd punch being a family coaster.) 10. Hollywood Studios (Rock 'n' Roller Coaster and Slinky Dog Dash, a pretty decent 1-2 but I only rode Slinky Dog Dash once so I couldn't justify putting it higher.) 9. Magic Kingdom (Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. While I like Rock 'n' Roller Coaster better than both of these, I can't deny that these 2 are a bit more balanced. Add to that the fact that they complement each other pretty well and they're both classics and that's why I put these above Hollywood Studios. TRON will replace BTMR soon, though, and probably boost MK higher.) 8. Fun Spot Kissimmee (Mine Blower and Galaxy Spin. While I like White Lightning better than these, these two are more even imo and complement each other really well for a small park. I can't ride Mine Blower back-to-back because of how rough it is, so after a ride, I can ride Galaxy Spin like 3 times and then I'll be good to go on Mine Blower again! That's not counting their other coaster, Hurricane, and their go-karts. It's easy for me to spend a day here and never get bored.) 7. Busch Gardens Tampa (Cheetah Hunt and Montu, though once I get to reride (and ride Iron Gwazi and SheiKra for the 1st time) this 1-2 punch will most likely be much different.) 6. Universal Studios Florida (Revenge of the Mummy and Rip Ride Rockit. These two are great complements. One is a dark ride experience while the other is a giant unique coaster with airtime and positive G's. It's quite the unique duo, and they're right next to each other!) 5. SeaWorld Orlando (Mako and Manta or Kraken, I prefer Manta, but Kraken complements Mako better. Honestly, this park has a great 1-2-3 punch.) 4. Dollywood (Lightning Rod and Mystery Mine. These are 2 wildly different rides that offer completely different experiences, but are both awesome! Honestly, pick any 2 coasters (other than Blazing Fury and Whistle Punk Chaser) at Dollywood and you've still got a solid 1-2. Heck, FireChaser Express and Dragonflier are one of the best family 1-2 punches out there!) 3. Six Flags Over Georgia (Goliath and Twisted Cyclone. This top 3 was hard to choose. These 2 rides are incredible complements!) 2. Islands of Adventure (Hagrid's and Hulk. These rides are already some of my favorites AND go together very well, but when I ride VelociCoaster, you know where this park is going...) 1. Carowinds (Fury 325 and Copperhead Strike. I like Intimidator a bit more, but Copperhead just complements Fury so well. So much so that they sell shirts that say "Fury vs Copperhead!" You really can't go wrong with Carowinds' top 4 (or 5 imo))

[@dingleberrystudios6139]

The one dislike:cedar point fanboy

[@lazykatie42069]

I do love inversions and intensity which is why Banshee is my number 1 at Kings Island and currently my number 1 overall.

[@agentM1991]

Hersheypark: Skyrush and Storm Runner Cedar Point: Steel Vengeance and Maverick Kings Island: Diamondback and Mystic Timbers Kings Dominion: I-305 and Twisted Timbers BGW: Alpengiest and Griffon BGT: Montu and Kumba Carowinds: Fury 325 and Afterburn Six Flags Great Adventure: El Toro and Kingda Ka SeaWorld Orlando: Mako and Manta I just selected parks with an elite collection. I've visited 20 parks so far one isn't operating anymore. These aren't ranked but maybe I will when I visit more parks soon (DARN YOU COVID-19!). I agreed on many.

[@alkankondo89]

LOL, 0:13 described exactly what I did right before the COVID-19 shutdown: visited Fiesta Texas from out-of-town and marathoned WWGLC at the end of the day! Also, LOLOL to that opening clip!! 🤣

[@ComposerConductor]

I'm surprised Cedar Point wasn't #1, and this is coming from a Magic Mountain fan! I would say Magic Mountain and Cedar Point are the Top Two theme parks out there. For my MM Wildcard, I replace X2 with Tatsu. Tatsu has such a unique perspective of pretty much everything being so high, and of course, that pretzel loop is insane in the membrane, INSANE IN THE BRAIN!

[@bosoxfan131]

They are far superior parks than the #1 SFNE, but I agree with the fact that New England has the best 1-2 punch in the country.

[@EthanSweat]

Its more like a 1-3 punch for magic mountain

[@ajwebber]

Agree. Also, Maverick as #2 at Cedar Point is pretty insane. CP literally has like a 7 punch line-up. This list seems to majorly prioritize intensity over quality. Don't get me wrong, I love Maverick, but that style of intensity has been massively outclassed these days with RMC just running a masterclass in coaster design. I'd put something like Gatekeeper as the #2 for a better variety. I also LOVE the chill, smooth, floatiness of modern B&M designs.

[@frenchy1224]

So happy to see my home park at number one beating out Magic Mountain and Cedar Point!! I love Wicked Cyclone and Superman The Ride but if I ride Twisted Colossus or X2, I'm sure those would top my list! Great video and concept, you always wanna know the top two coasters in a park to get to them first at opening then to ride them again before closing.

[@boomerangreverse3267]

God why is SFNE at #1

[@coreylineberry8557]

Truth is the truth.

[@rcky6506]

It’s his opinion m8

[@Novakiller]

It’s nice to see Superman at Six Flags New England getting some love again. It has been a while, that layout is spectacular!

[@hangtimemario5960]

Definitely a great video but I would have put fiesta Texas higher in my opinion

[@svcoastersmx1594]

I'm not sure if my homepark would make this list. But Six Flags Mexico's 1-2 punch would be: Superman (Morgan Hyper) and Medusa Steel Coaster (RMC Hybrid). Both great coasters!

[@ShadyButKindaKingy]

Kinda surprised Farenhiet and Stormrunner wasnt on there from Hershey

[@dchang11]

If this video was made in 2010, it would've made the list.

[@_peepee_]

excuse me sir are you forgetting about skyrush?

[@NickMagoteaux]

Thanks for making great videos!

[@dchang11]

Cedar Point has technically several 1-2 punches. The old guard was Millennium Force and Top Thrill Dragster. Those rides transformed the park into a thrill destination. The new guard is Maverick and Steel Vengeance, with Gatekeeper and Valravn solidifying its brand. Great Adventure has several 1-2 punches. Medusa (Bizarro) and Nitro; Kingda Ka and El Toro; both part of the old guard. I think there should be another coaster to complement Jersey Devil. El Toro is part of the old guard, despite its popularity and connection with RMC. If this video was made in 2010, Hersheypark 1-2 would be Fahrenheit and Storm Runner. Maybe when Candymonium opens, the title would belong to Candymonium and Skyrush. If this video was made in 2001-2005, Dorney Park would've made this list with Talon and Steel Force. It's a solid lineup, though it needs an upgrade. If Dorney Park follows through with their 2021 proposal, and maybe install a Intamin rapid blitz in 2025, they are worthy of a mention.

[@dominicjannazo7144]

Other parks have a 1-2 punch. Cedar Point just keeps pummeling you into the ground.

[@theduh1011]

Islands of Adventure has a fantastic one-two now that Velocicoaster is up and running Hulk + Velocicoaster is just so amazing & my favorite 1-2

[@VarietyEntertainmentStudios]

I think you forgot one: Beech Bend Park: mediocre GCI and generic wild mouse My home park RIP 😂😂😂

[@FullTimeCoasterTour]

Wow great list. I have to admit that I'm surprised not to see universal IOA on there somewhere though. With an "old B&M" in the Hulk and Hagrid's motorbike coaster I would think they'd beat out the likes of Discovery kingdom at least. When the Dragons were there as the partner to the Hulk I would think IOA HAS to be there. Good stuff.

[@nutbutter1410]

I was suprised with kraken over manta

[@AirtimeThrills]

I am very surprised by how many people think Manta is the 2nd punch

[@jojo_hendriks]

Airtime Thrills I Heard- more great things about Manta than about Kraken

[@jayquelan6132]

So glad to see Six Flags Great America getting some love; awesome vid!

[@MichaelBerra]

HERSHEYPARK?!?!?! AM I A JOKE!!!!!

[@AirtimeThrills]

Yes

[@MichaelBerra]

@@AirtimeThrills ya I know 😂😂🙄 Skyrush will never change. Think about it no restraints look good with that train design. Unless they use the same type trains as i305, storm runner, and farenheit! That would be even worse, because Skyrush has an amazing open experience!!

[@moosepickles1882]

I’m extremely grateful I live within 3 hours of Six Flags New England. I’ve always raved about Wicked Cyclone and Superman being some of the best coasters ever, I’m glad to see more people that agree with me! Awesome video 🥳

[@scrapplejacks8780]

Wicked Cyclone is a monster. Very memorable.

[@RemixedVoice]

The 200 degree stall on Wicked Cyclone is my favorite inversion I've ever experienced!

[@bosoxfan131]

Which one, there’s 2🤔 new England’s is amazing, I remember when it was wooden and was just cyclone and it was one of the roughest rides ever lol, I was blown away when I rode it the first time after it’s transitioning

[@cdub2108]

WiCy is my favorite coaster ever. It’s amazing

[@scrapplejacks8780]

I remember the old one very well. The whole thing would sway when a train ran through. We have season tickets for a number years and saw the transformation. Wicked Cyclone is a ride that thrills right into the station. Superman is not too shabby either....

[@Redfoot138]

I must have ridden Wicked Cyclone on a bad day. I rode it three times and, while I enjoyed it, I didn't get the same "OMG" reactions I've seen from others. I rode it the same year Twisted Timbers opened and felt WC didn't come close.

[@Ace-du7vw]

I was absolutely not expecting SFNE to end up on this list and it comes out on top??? Very happy someone agrees with me that those are the strongest rides in the park and deserve some non-local love. It's not the most notable park in the Six Flags chain but there's a lot of memories there. People were PISSED when SF announced they were tearing down Cyclone, I don't think it was well-known that it was being rebuilt into a fucking monster. Great list, so many coasters I want to ride
