[@TuaGlazer]

Didn’t realize that the raptors only had 24 seconds of prime ride time, what a short but somehow complete ride

[@Derangedlefty]

Amazing how much pain they packed into so little time

[@jimdingle4521]

Poltergeist is such a classic badass ride...it's just visually cool as well as fun

[@theheardtheorem]

Every now and then you’ll get a stronger launch and it just flies through the course. Other times, it feels like it’s going to valley.

[@xWORLDxCHAMPIONx]

Yeah the new paint really makes it pop like it used to again.

[@jeremymorgan4779]

Two things are certain in life: ElToroRyan talking about block zones And Airtime Thrills shouting out the pythagorean theorem.

[@MrFuryz]

Original Rattler is an absolute legend. Changed and modified many times in it's life for safety reasons. The original iteration would leave us literally bruised, as kids, but damn we loved it. Some of my favorite childhood memories are at the top of that coaster.

[@Acylumgaming]

This park does everything right and should be considered the flagship of Six Flags. Superman is the best floorless Ive ridden, Wonder Woman isnt painful like Railblazer for some reason even though theyre the same model, and everyone who works there has Kings Island energy which gives the park life. I went to SFOT and this for the first time in the same weekend and theyre not even close in terms of quality and line up.

[@frozenuruguayball6436]

Railblazer isn’t painful?

[@Acylumgaming]

@@frozenuruguayball6436 The straps burned my collar bones pretty bad after like three or four rides

[@frozenuruguayball6436]

@@Acylumgaming Ah that sucks

[@Acylumgaming]

@@frozenuruguayball6436 For airtime like that its worth a bit of rug burn believe me haha. Not sure what makes them different but I got no pain at all on wonder woman and I rode it about 5 times in a row. Ill have to see if stunt pilot is the same way at some point.

[@RideOfPablo]

I’d love to see KD’s present and defunct coasters by the numbers

[@CoasterCount]

Same mindset

[@AirtimeThrills]

Thats a good one for the next round

[@RideOfPablo]

@@AirtimeThrills Looking forward to seeing it :)

[@coasterconquistador2517]

Nice video! This park has four coasters designed by Alan Schilike, plus looks to be one of the best Six Flags parks, so it’s a huge bucket list park for me. A Skyline Psgetti Bowl would be awesome for this park’s already solid lineup!

[@josephferrara6309]

Technically 4 coasters. Iron Rattler, Wonder Women, RR Express and Batman.

[@josephferrara6309]

Not even technically. Batman was a colab between S&S and RMC and Alan has talked about designing it.

[@coasterconquistador2517]

@@josephferrara6309 oh yeah forgot about free spins.

[@josephferrara6309]

@@coasterconquistador2517 I said technically at first because I thought they only used his design after he left S&S but he personally designed it with S&S while at RMC.

[@Aftermath779]

@@coasterconquistador2517 The Skyline Psgetti Bowl is already announced. And it's a dueling model.

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

I agree with having Wonder Woman's clock start at the first drop. The turnaround before the drop feels like an extension of the lift hill as opposed to being a part of the prime ride time. I still can't get over how bad Rattler was. 97 seconds of pure torture.

[@sammisues]

Another amazing video Chris. How about "By the Numbers USA edition, each states biggest coaster ranked"?

[@thesupertight5684]

This man has gotten me into riding rollercoasters. I used to be terrified of riding them, but him, being a legend, has gotten me out of my fear.

[@Cje_-yj8ov]

Loved this place when I went a couple months ago. Amazing night time experience too

[@fluffhead23]

When I last went Dr. Diabolical wasn't slowing down on the mid-course brakes. It was great.

[@history_leisure]

They were also going to get a Zierer Tivoli around 2000, but it was sent to open with Parque Warner (where it's themed to Tom & Jerry and a picnic) instead

[@theheardtheorem]

As long as The Rattler was, it was so miserable that it feels like my last ride on it in 1997 just ended. I have the weird honor of riding The Rattler, Texas Giant and Big Apple Coaster consecutively. I just assumed I had gotten too old for coasters and gave up riding them until I saw a Steel Vengeance POV in 2018. My wife and I have been trying to get as many credits as we can before our backs give out 🤣

[@alxmrjr288]

I rode it in 1992 for the first time and it was amazing

[@Colaholiker]

Seeing the stats of the original Rattler makes me even more sad that it was closed when I was there in 1995. Didn't get to visit the park again until 2019, when it was too late.

[@MillenniumForceMan]

Just the helix on top of the quarry alone on rattler has longer prime ride time than any other coaster in park history

[@cody_t]

Fun that you upload this while I’m staying nearby.

[@VinceHere98]

4:39: “Boomerang: a Vekoma Boomerang”

[@VegasR0cks]

The Wonder Woman Golden Lasso Coaster is short but sweet. It's much more intense than the stats show and it's some of the most extreme 24 seconds you'll ever experience.

[@xWORLDxCHAMPIONx]

Poltergeist’s new paint looks so good. Mr. Freeze at SFOT looks really good too, I’m glad six flags spending the money to freshen up their coasters’ looks.

[@richardgreenjr4701]

Man I love by the numbers!! So informative for coaster enthusiasts and novices alike

[@barbarahomrighaus6852]

I love coasters and have ridden them all my life but the time I rode The Rattler, I actually injured my neck somehow. Not bad enough to go to the doctor, but enough that my husband had to take our kids around and I was glad they sold alcohol because I was in pain. Never had that with any other.

[@robbiereacts22]

Rattler’s original first drop before the modifications was one of the best first drops that ever existed. I never thought Rattler was really rough but it became quite boring after it was modified. After riding coasters for such a long time I have a high tolerance for what is considered “rough”. All you coaster enthusiasts that call certain coasters rough I say they just have quirky personalities lol. Also I always look for the enjoyment in any ride over the negative. I used to review coasters but I was not enjoying the rides like usual when I was searching for problems.

[@noralewis5390]

Used to go to Fiesta Texas all the time but moved away long before they RMC'd it and hadn't gotten a chance to go back. Was super confused how it dropped below roadrunner in the rankings.

[@Bigclifton]

I think it's funny how Joker's Revenge was moved from FT to New Orleans and Goliath was moved from New Orleans to FT.

[@katherinezimmerman6997]

So obligatory disclaimer here that I haven’t ridden Poltergeist yet. However, I’ve ridden its clone, Joker’s Jinx at SFA. The launch is awesome, but by the end of the ride, it really feels glacially slow.

[@Thuggysmurf]

One: the number of trains operational on Iron Rattler and Wonder Woman for most of 2022.

[@jzckvsn]

Fiesta Texas has a great lineup of great coasters!

[@coasterfamilyfeud3247]

As boring as the continual helix on the original rattler was when I rode it, it is still kind of cool the reason behind it… to emulate a coiled up rattlesnake!

[@Keystone_Koasters]

Airtime Thrills, hills, chills, bills, kills, mills, and fills

[@josephwalker132]

So I rode eaglet back in 2008 /2009 as my first wooden rollercoaster and To tell you the truth it was rough then o got to re ride it as iron rattler and was impressed

Poltergeist is also the most underrated night ride in the park, especially now that they have the new theming 🙏🏻

[@tgr_2007]

The rattler was brutal. I rode it in its final year and it was a chiropractor

When you're showing the stats, maybe you should change the indicator from 'height' to 'drop'.

Nice looking coasters. Pretty short dive. Yukon Striker is so much bigger, steeper and faster.

[@xxTexas_outlaw71xxttv]

regaurdless of the stats, they are good coasters besides joker becouse the first time i went to fiesta joker was closed. they were always having problems with it. the helix on the Rattler was boring and it was really rough glad they took it out when the RMC d it.

[@Paolo8772]

If I had more money I'd get there before 2022 ends, but that won't happen for me. That's ok: I dislike roller coasters with short prime ride times anyway. Besides: I had my best single coaster trip earlier this year with Nickelodeon Universe New Jersey, SFNJ; Coney Island, Deno's Wonderwheel and SFGA IL. I guess I'll just have to save up for Universal Islands of Adventure and Busch Gardens Tampa for my next coaster trip, but I hope to get to SFFT eventually. Great video: thanks for posting!

[@wartyfut1234]

i still don’t understand why people say iron rattler has garbage pacing, it literally covers more feet per second then the prototype raptors and the elements on top of the quarry wall aren’t even bad

[@edvaira6891]

I KNEW Six Flags wasn’t the original owner of this park….I remember it struggled mightily the first few years and almost closed…But I HAD NO IDEA MY INSURANCE COMPANY was the ORIGINAL OWNER!! You gotta wonder just HOW THE HECK They got in into their heads that, “You know what would be Perfect for us?? Open a Theme Park! How different can it be from writing Auto policies for Military families!!”

[@AirtimeThrills]

Really weird, right? They saw potential even outside their lane

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

My Rankings (2nd best coaster lineup in the chain imo 🤐) 1 Iron Rattler 2 Wonder Woman GLC (top tier RMC and a single rail as your 1-2 punch is great) 3 Superman Krypton Coaster 4 Goliath 5 Dr Diabolical 6 Road Runner Express 7 Poltergeist 8 Boomerang (definitely the smoothest and best boomerang I've been on) 9 Pandemonium 10 Batman The Ride 11 Kid Flash 12 Streamliner Coaster

[@Cat3465]

I'm currious if there is a certain height limit that SFFT cannot excede when building their coasters because none of them excede 200ft, which may be due it to the high winds it gets

My home park thanks for making this video your the best coaster youtuber

[@Maya_Ruinz]

Love my home park to death, I still remember the joker being an absolutely horrible ride but I do wish they could have replaced it with something better. Iron Rattler is still my favorite coaster and with the recent introduction of Diabolical the park has a little bit of everything.

[@agreen96096]

So I rode the rattler frequently before it was converted and I have to say during it's last rides was the roughest experience I've had on any coaster thus far. Nevertheless an intense coaster despite the roughness especially during the coil on the top of the cliff

[@googlethecat4218]

Nice new intro btw!

[@JuanGarcia-tj4pg]

It's interesting how the ride experience can vary from the numbers day to day or even hour to hour. I had little slowdown on the mid-course brake run for Superman and Dr. Diabolical's Cliffhanger last time I went; although I've only ridden Cliffhanger once (no pre-show, though). Pandemonium didn't spin as much as I would've liked, though.

[@SaveFarris1]

Would have been nice to note that Fiesta Texas gave New Orleans Joker's Revenge (which you did) ... only for New Orleans to ultimately give Fiesta Goliath (which you didn't). ... Hey, that might be an interesting research project and future video idea. Have there ever been any other coaster swaps between parks? If so, you could rank who won each "trade".

[@AirtimeThrills]

Interesting, i wonder how many of those there are

[@MOMAZOSPATO]

this wasnt really a trade, new orleans gave fiesta texas goliath after the park had closed because of katrina, in reality there was no trade so fiesta texas wasnt expecting anything back. but for me fiesta texas ended up winning because a b&m inverted is much better than a vekoma / arrow looper.
