The Top 25 BEST COASTERS in the US (2024)

[@Solorclasher]

I feel like we get a video like this once a year but idk why 🤔 Edit: I’m going to hope he just hasn’t been on Wildcats Revenge because that definitely deserves a top 25 AT LEAST. If he has, then I would be shocked.

[@justinjoestar1902]

I thought WCR was a pretty mid rmc, and having ridden as much as I have it gets edged out of top 25, but I think coastoons hasn’t actually ridden it yet.

[@rexcelsior1983]

He said he hasn't ridden Skyrush in 4 years so he most definitely hasn't been on Wildcat's Revenge yet.

[@josephmorris7447]

Great list and totally agree with you on Velocicoaster. It offers an overall package that no other coaster really offers. While SV and IG are my 2 and 3, VC is a comprehensive experience. The setting, theming, sound elements, the first show scene with the tension building and impact sound that mimics being thrusted, the overture of back to back immelmann and dive loops that set the stage for what's to come, the spaghetti bowl that causes confusion and makes the rider feel lost in the paddock, dodging rockwork and plant life, the attacking raptors snarling and growling, until finally hitting that second launch when the sound of the LSMs ramp up as you climb into the top hat. The (very) brief pause at the top that gives you just a second to catch your breath and take in the surrounding view until you plummet into the main course. The stall over the guest pathway, circling around the lagoon, the turns until you finally hit that heartline roll over the lagoon feeling like you'll literally be yeeted into the water below. This is a ride that truly perfectly paced, not the bastardized definition that many tend to confuse (pacing does not equal constant fast speeds). Pacing is all about the coaster doing the speed and elements exactly when it's called for. While I love SV and IG among many other intense roller coasters, for me speed and airtime are not the end all be all. Just like in a dessert, sweetness is an important if not main component, but it's not the only thing. Liking a coaster strictly for speed/intensity is like liking a dessert because it's the sweetest and has the highest sugar content. If that's what you only consider then that's fine, but for me I like levels, nuance, and differing, unique aspects to a ride and how they interact and influence the overall experience.

[@Heatherofscots]

Velocicoaster is my number one too. For all of the reasons you have listed and more. It is thrilling but yet so re-rideable (sp?). It is consistently good. I have lost count of how many times I had ridden it now and I have only had one lackluster ride. Night rides are on another level.

[@tsnrokzy8232]

idiot sv better

[@EM-ec4jo]

I'm just glad my favorite park, Busch Gardens Tampa, got on the list with Kumba. I'm a bit surprised Iron Gwazi didn't get in there instead, but I get it. Kumba's intense as hell, and I ride it several times in a row when I visit because it's so far back in the park and in a kind of awkward area that most folks just walk past it in confusion.

[@slaterkid1194]

Fr I think he never rode it

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

He Definitely Hasn't Ridden Montu Or Iron Gwazi

[@metallicnole4514]

@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od That's for sure. Just about everyone that's ridden iron gwazi has it in their top 5.

[@diegotineo3771]

Great list, but if you havent been to Carowinds and gone on the Fury 325 you need to do that ASAP. It's probably one of my favorite roller coasters and the first drop is so much fun

[@infinitecoasters8769]

Goliath at Over Georgia is the best B&M Hyper in the US BY FAR and it’s not even close. The pacing is relentless, the turnaround is amazing, and the airtime is fantastic. The first half has great floater, but the final few hills are literally ejector, and that final hill in particular slams you forwards it’s insane. The first 3 valleys are pretty shaky, yes, but other than that, the ride is perfect.

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Reasons Why Its Not 1 Goliath Is Kinda Rattley 2 The Pacing Is Definitely Not Better Then Mako Candymonium Or Shambhala 3 Goliath Has The Weakest Airtime Of Any B&M Hyper (Its A Top 3 B&M Hyper For Me Since The Layout Is The Best Of A B&M In General)

[@gametime2473]

Yeah, I agree.

[@ILIKEBEANSOHYEEAEY]

nuh uh

[@FlightcoasterChronicles48]

Mako is way better

[@CarolinaCycloneJames]

@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od For no3. Have you ridden well I guess now thunderstriker at Carowinds. Those trims literally ruin the airtime

[@thecasualmisfit]

DUDE THANK YOU ! You make amazing quality content. The humor is on point and is EXACTLY what is missing from the ENTIRE roller coaster youtuber community. Seems like every video I watch by many other's are just awkward, poorly communicated, and honestly just over the top with boredom. Keep doing what you do!

[@ThrillReport]

You should show the ranking from last year at the top like airtime thrills, it would help us know the change in your rankings year over year 😀😀

[@FameyFamous]

He told us a few times that he doesn't want to spend too much time editing. I'm glad we got such a good production.

[@alkankondo89]

Regarding your label for Mako as "the Hyper perfected": I TOTALLY agree!! It serves up it's airtime in so many different ways, and the many points of SUSTAINED airtime -- chef's kiss! Easily my favorite B&M hyper.

[@g42_16]

1:44 tho its a dull moment, the shed makes sure west coast racers always duels so would you rather have fake dueling like twisted colossus or the shed in the middle? id so much rather it always duel os personally im fine with the shed ❤in

[@shannonsthemepark]

seeing my personal favorite at the top of your list (again) makes me so happy. as a newer thoosie with a very small credit list, its so cool to see someone i look up to agree with me on the best coaster here in the US.

[@sirbossk]

We have the same top two! I of course loved Steel Vengeance, but something about Velocicoaster just got my heart racing in a way that Steel Vengeance didn't. SteVe may have the most airtime, but VC just hits different.

[@Keelay04]

bro I feel the exact way. Steve was my #1 until I got to get on Velocicoaster recently and the front row night ride that I got on it was so good that I think its a bit better than Steve. I also got to ride Iron Gwazi too and hot take but I think its decently overrated by like everyone (like eltoro too that is so painful to ride and is rough now) and I personally might have Wildcats Revenge over it. Still a great ride though.

[@shaunroland8053]

Good list! Loved the Mr. Freeze reverse blast yesterday at SFOT. Insane ride people must try!!!

[@Justin-og9gu]

The soundtrack on the Hulk is ESSENTIAL. I was riding it later in the day and I thought: "this ride seems way less cool than it was when I rode it earlier". THEN I realized that for some reason the music wasn't playing. It really made a huge difference on the second half. I don't even know if the music was playing during the first half cause its impossible to hear over the wind and screams.

[@chakas880]

Im scared of traveling all the way fron San Diego to Orlando just to find out that Hagrids and Velocicoaster are closed 😢

[@g42_16]

go to kings island next time you go to cedar point make a stop there its pretty close

[@frenchy1224]

Since you've been to Kings Dominion and love intense roller coasters, I am surprised to not see I-305 make the top 25.

[@tomm8775]

Because he’s never ridden it. He’s a nobody. Who cares!?

Next up is Iron Gwazi and Fury

Hey, i agree with velocicoaster but where is iron gwazi ?!? Or have you not been on it yet ?

[@zechriste6474]

I'm so glad you mentioned Outlaw Run, I rode that recently, and I loved it.

[@noahz115]

No iron gwazi on the list is crazy unless you haven’t had the chance to ride it yet. Iron gwazi is the best coaster I have been on.

[@DHN669]

I LOVE how you described lighting rod. It was spot on. It was also my first roller coaster

[@Cleanse_]

i went on a trip to universal with my friends for marching band and got fast passes for our first day. Unfortunately while in line for velicicoaster it went down and none of my friends wanted to wait in the line for it.

[@Swoops355]

You returned

[@andyroman8223]

Was i305 closed when you went to KD? Its my number one over steve, and despite what people say about it "only having turns and no airtime", its the most well rounded coaster Ive ridden, and has tons of airtime.

[@seancamp2703]

@andyroman yes he must not have ridden i305 because it is easily top ten in the US.

[@NateDeLaCruz-wy5bh]

Is fury really not that good? Been thinking about taking the trip to carowinds just for this ride but not seeing it on this list is making me rethink. Please lmk if it’s worth the trip.

[@SplatFennecFox]

Perfect list. Been on about 90% of those and all of the ones I love are in your list.

[@sunsetsmokedj]

Yooo this is very cool but you should do a ranking live stream maybe top 100 stream

[@RyanHutt-g6k]

Idk if he has been on I-305 since he has been to Kings Dominion with him riding twisted timbers but I-305 should definitely be top 25 and I would be amazed if it wasn’t.

[@Poolllll123]

Any time I see coastoons vid I get hyped great top 25❤

[@stevenfoster9402]

15:23 that transition was CRISPY 🤌

[@megan..213]

TWISTED TIMBERS!!

[@Herosadvisor]

I adore velocicoaster but it’s a family ride. Pantheon sits above it for me, has the intensity, steeper drop, more aggressive reverse airtime, wave turn and huge outer bank hill

[@sebastianplayzzz]

brody how do you keep forgetting about iron gwazi and your former favorite cheetah hunt

[@VexxR22]

so you've included twisted timbers in the list... was i305 closed or have you not actually been to KD?

[@rickybaldwin2513]

why is fury 325 not on this list?

Im surprised Tempesto at BGW was not on the list. I have ridden all the coasters at BGW and it was my favorite.

My first ride I ever did was golden lasso aka Wonder Woman bro I remember being so nervous because of the drop I btw I was only 7 years old and I’m really excited because I’m going to magic mountain six flags after 7 years next week

[@AdrenalinePeaks]

saw west coast racers on here and exited the video

[@wickedroller]

You say during Millennium Force that you like an aggressive experience, like something is trying to rip you from the train. There is no other ride that does that more than an evening ride in the back row on Iron Gwazi. It literally tries to murder you.

[@3vlogs487]

Am I trippin or did i305 not appear on this list. I’m surprised, given their mention of intensity being favorable in a coaster.

[@assemblyrequired7342]

Funny that you state the Hulk being the first roller coaster you really enjoyed, because it was the first inverted coaster I was ever on. Actually, it was the first coaster I ever went on. Up until then, I had avoided rides because simulator rides made my stomach hurt. At this point, I've ridden it so many times, I guess that feel that it has lost that extraordinariness, and I've been attempting to ride more intense rides like the Skyscraper and Slingshot ever since. Nothing seems to feel intense enough anymore. I guess that is exactly why the Intimidator appeals so much to me. That, and I don't have a whole lot of money to travel around riding on dozens of different coasters, so I feel a need for something with a lot of "punch", but still an overall comfortable riding experience that won't possibly leave me bruised.

[@Letix020]

getting first train and back row on twisted colossus was magical.

[@moderatorhollowbird]

Great video, what about Fury 325 at Carrowinds? If you have not ridden it yet its a must ride

[@tomm8775]

He obviously hasn’t but he’s probably too busy smoking pot to remember.

[@samcurry-en6pk]

Highly recommend ridding a smaller raptor preferable rail blazer at cga the first drop on it in the back row is even more intense then wonder women or jersey devil because of the way the lift has a dip and turn before the drop so you get thrown out much harder

[@davidreynolds6718]

No i305?

[@wrestlingandamusementparkl7789]

What do u think of Storm chaser and Lightning run at Kentucky kingdom

[@ClebyHerris]

4 great adventure coasters and 3 cedar points. What a world we live in. (I hope I’m correct and didn’t miss one) Nitro earned that spot

[@baconsarebetterthanyou6796]

the fact diamond back isn’t on this list is crazy. (This is located in kings island) the amount of airtime you get on this ride is impressive, the whole time your on it, it feels like you are continuously falling out of your seat. Your heart races during the whole duration of the ride leaving it to be a top 5 in americas best coasters. And Iron gwazi! You choose steel vengeance over a ride that’s arguably better, you get a lot of inversions, and it’s taller.😂

[@slingshot70]

Iron gwazi

[@Ryzohm0141]

Did you COPY YOUR LAST VIDEO on the last two coasters?

[@Puffa_]

2 things I’ve learned from this video: -Apollo’s Chariot is probably purple -TMNT’s inversions are built like fat yoshi 6:30

[@switch_shadow]

I feel like six flags great America is slept on too much. It has Goliath, the first rmc with in my opinion, the best zero g stall I’ve ever been on, and it has raging bull, one of the early hypers with such a good first drop, especially in the back because it is so whippy

[@woahcrash]

"For some, that's exactly what they want in a ride, so {Millennium Force] is Intamin's Mona Lisa,, but for me personally, I like a more aggressive experience" I-305 *questioning its existence*

[@CoasterCount]

I liked great bear on my first ride, but my second ride was in the rain and I was in the front so I did not get a good re-Ride so it dropped a few spots for me

[@HayFatYT]

Velocicoaster looks pretty overrated, I might be getting out to it this year to see if what I think is true, but if it had no theming I think it would be not good really, people would be like "The second half is good, but the first is just a slow paced spaghetti bowl" Which it is, with rocks and animatronics, and well.. Theming. Idk, looks kinda overrated but whatever.
