Had a serious Pavlovian response to "But not the Pythagorean theorem this time" 🤯

*Top Ten Anime Betrayals:*

[@hmsverdun]

When you hear 1780 and think that cant be right and then find out Mack started building stage coaches and wagons for travelling shows a century later so is the entertainment business since 1880. That, that is pretty wild. Finds out there are 3 flights a day from near where I am in the UK to the airport near Europa-Park. Yep I should really go.

[@seriomarkj]

That was a cool finish with the average rakings, nice addition

[@wickedsickfunkyfreshroller2037]

I just watched a POV of Beyond the Cloud and that thing legit looks elite. Idk how I’ve never heard of this ride before

[@AirtimeThrills]

I remember it when it came out but completely forgot about it til I made this video

[@devdoesitbest6974]

This is weird to say but this is really reminding me of Zamperla. Years of small coasters starting off with a grand launch coaster

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Maybe one day zamperla would be as overrated as MACK rides only time will tell

[@Hangtime_Davi64]

I like the idea of keeping them ranked by prime ride time, but also showing the ranking by average scores

[@viciousweather]

That banana roll on Ride to Happiness is wild

[@hokkaidocrackhead5538]

I’ve been on beyond the cloud and it’s such a good ride but I wish it was just longer

[@midnightmoonlight04091]

I apparently went on a good first Mack launch coaster for ride time, Icon is my number one right now so makes sense.

[@heather1980]

I didn’t realize how many of these I had ridden. I love the Mack multilaunches and the Big Dipper model.

[@katashworth41]

I’m not surprised with how high Icon is, also nice to see some home park representation.

[@sammorris6104]

Ride to Happiness at 7th is about the best example of coasters being more than just their stats ;)

[@cookieXcoasters]

Wonder where Starfall Racers at Epic Universe will rank between all these. Should rank high across all categories, I feel

[@OklahomaCoasterFan]

A Star Trek themed coaster = # 1 in every category, best coaster in the universe! I was surprised that Time Traveler's pacing beat Ride to Happiness, but that does show that what a ride is doing and the profiling & choice of elements is more important than how fast a ride is going. I knew Copperhead Strike wouldn't be too high in pacing, but the quality of the elements is top notch.

[@jricedrums]

Definitely was a surprise to see the pacing numbers on Time Traveler better than Ride To Happiness. I’ve ridden both and it’s an easy choice to say I like Ride To Happiness better!

[@randomtransportguyx4397]

Icon is my favourite coaster ever built ever in the history of coasters

[@ColeYote]

I keep being surprised by how many great-looking coasters China has. 2024's looking like a good time to be Mack, good chance Hyperia and Voltron are the two best new rides this year.

[@clairefunnell8481]

What a cool bunch of rides. Mack rides did well with these rides. They do look like a whole lot of fun. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@stevejones3774]

Really enjoy your work, keep it up! The only coaster on this list I've ridden is Slinky Dog 😂. Seems to be a common theme with Mack Rides that they do would they are designed to do. Even with it's less than impressive numbers Slinky is a lot of fun. I have a trip planned to Carowinds this summer so will soon get to experience Copperhead Strike👍

[@michael7054]

Great video! These were very interesting coasters! I enjoyed watching!

[@kaitakeo]

I love these by the number videos

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

His best series imo

[@colepavlishin5299]

Beyond the cloud looks so cool

[@PotooBurd]

This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌

[@moldugamaniac3339]

I don't know if you take video ideas but I think that a video ranking the top near misses would be cool especially since there doesn't seem to be a consensus on which are the best.

[@AirtimeThrills]

Ill look into this one

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Iron gwazi's first drop and the headchop drop on steel vengeance are ones that come to mind

[@gameslikes0grolls]

@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3odThe one on velocicoaster as you go down the top hat I think is my favourite.

[@enthusiastJD]

Theyve had since 1780 you would have thought that the launches would be more punchy by now

[@StamfordBridge]

Can’t explain why one clone sometimes seems better than another one, but I liked Blue Fire a lot, while I *loved* Velociraptor at IMG Worlds of Adventure and had an awesome time marathoning it.

[@AirtimeThrills]

The park its in changes your outlook a lot. Ride Apple Zapple at KD, ehh. Ride Technic Coaster at Legoland - that's a lot of fun since it's the best thing there.

[@StamfordBridge]

@@AirtimeThrills True. And the theming between the two clones I was talking about is different, and then when you shoot outside on the IMG coaster you’re suddenly flying about in the hot desert sun before returning to air-conditioned darkness.

[@devinthedude3668]

Yup

[@kriss_b]

Icon being in 4th place is probably the best thing to happen this week to the park which has just had a disastrous opening weekend

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Over Georgia?

[@kriss_b]

@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od did you even watch the video ? Icon is in Blackpool ...... It clearly states this ......

[@AirtimeThrills]

​@@kriss_bI think he just means the melee at sfog on its opening weekend

[@huntzzio]

wake up honey a new airtime thrills video just dropped

[@MrMattogreen25]

We need more large Mack coasters in the US, Copperhead was very impressive to me

[@edt-ze3ke]

The only downside about Mack is that they’re super expensive, even more than B&M. It would be amazing to see a few Mack extreme spinners, hypers and launch coasters at a few Six Flags but may not happen anytime soon

[@jzckvsn]

So many blue fire clones 😭

[@DaanBruins]

Copperhead Strike having a better pacing than RTH is the weirdest thing ever.

[@chrishansen3027]

(VIDEO IDEA) Maybe holster this one until the update, but you should go through as many Dated Lightning Rod POV's as you can, and calculate the average Prime Ride Time from year to year! I think an objective analysis of this coaster's slow downgrading would be good to document, if not good 'content'. -also, give the shout to "Pinc". And good luck on the way to 1,000 coasters & 100k subs (Will the dates match-up..?).

[@AirtimeThrills]

I like the L-Rod idea, I'm assuming there are POVs on YT from year to year. I think I'm several years from 1k coasters and 100k subs so yeah they just might

[@paulozogamingandsirens4860]

Buy or Sell: Bobcat at Great Escape will get the golden ticket award for best family Coaster of 2024.

[@MrMeatHook]

Are you going to be doing a video addressing the sudden and random announcement by Knott’s that Montezooma: Forbidden Fortress is back on the blotter?

[@AirtimeThrills]

Maybe a short. My next buy or sell talks about it but it was recorded before that announcement

[@DoswarePictures]

How about the news regarding Intimidatior?

[@Jule_bule]

Vekoma family boomerangs next?

[@Raging_Red_Bulls]

Best up-and-coming manufacturer 💙

[@ryanstrong1167]

Lmao. Shit roller-coasters. "extreme" spinners lmfao😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 SNOOZE FEST

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Your comment is annoying but I might agree with you time traveler was kinda forcepess

[@just-dashin]

Woah

[@huntzzio]

Hot take: Voltron is the best coaster opening this year and is top 3 most well-rounded coaster in the world

[@AirtimeThrills]

Agree with the 1st part, 2nd part is pretty bold

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Just like Chris said the first part is probably true but I definitely don't think its a top 3 most well rounded coaster when you have steel vengeance iron gwazi arieforce one velocicoaster The voyage copperhead Strike fury 325 maverick and I can go on really.....

[@devdevthrills]

I think Ride to Happiness is better than Time Traveler, but only just barely. I think people forget how good Time Traveler is or like the fact that RTH is new and in Europe so it comes off as lightyears better when I think they are closer than you'd expect!

[@OriginalJoe]

I keep hoping there will be a new such coaster at the SFMM plot that is getting cleared. Helix USA

[@AirtimeThrills]

It would be a spectacular fit

[@taylordixon5871]

Suzhou is said like Sue Joe.

[@culture_clash]

Me at the end of the video: "Hang on, where the heck is DC Rivals?!" Me also: "It's only Mack LAUNCHED coasters, you idiot." Me one more time: "Oh yeah, whoops. Wait, why am I talking to myself?"

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Bro went through a whole arc

[@AirtimeThrills]

A rare moment of self-reflection

[@rockintylerj9349]

Why no pythagorean theorem this time? This was the only time ive ever seen it used irl and now we dont need it??? MY TEACHERS LIED

[@AirtimeThrills]

No diagonal lifts. the only coaster that actually has a lift hill here is Voltron and that's vertical

[@user-yp8xk3kb3m]

I have a statement to make that Manta is the best family coaster in California who else agrees

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Depends on what you consider a family coaster personally Goliath (sfmm) is my favorite

[@samurai5589]

Goliath is not a family coaster

[@chrisroberts78]

I have not ride of one of those rides

[@huntzzio]

6:55 coasters can edge too?? nooo

[@Sonic-gy7kq]

Don't run me over but... MACK: "Intamin with far less intensity"

[@vegiemonstr]

What are your thoughts of the shooting at six flags over Georgia and do you think they will bring back the chaperone policy

[@AirtimeThrills]

It would not surprise me at all if that's their response. Six flags has resisted this chaperone wave up to this point but after this they probably do it

[@metallica708]

Which of the following planned theme parks will and won't actually happen: Universal Texas American Heartland Oasis at Lakeport Libertyland USA Grand Texas VidantaWorld

[@Ryzohm0141]

Why does everyone talk about Copperhead's weak launch and not Slinky Dog's? Slinky Dog's is like, three times weaker!

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Its mack launches in general

[@CarlileCoasters]

DID YOU KNOW THAT TIME TRAVELER HAS A 95 FOOT TALL LOOP?

[@DoswarePictures]

I DIDN’T KNOW

[@AirtimeThrills]

The memes are flooding back

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

NOT A 95 FOOT TALL VERTICAL LOOP 😳

[@Yikes_its_Psychs]

So what you’re saying is, rolling launches are way better? I know you have it ranked last but it’s still an S-tier coaster. I’d say a mix of the 2 rankings is more accurate, but that’s my opinion.

[@AirtimeThrills]

rolling launches can be great (shellraiser) but not always

[@asterisks3062]

They are often better as the train already has momentum going into the launch, this is the main reason why gerstlauer launches are incredible (and the small trains too)

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Once again I find Mack extremely overrated I'm going to Belgium this year to go on ride to happiness maybe that will boost my opinion of them

[@AirtimeThrills]

I understand that take for sure

[@idkhomie24]

copperhead strike is better than fury and this is a hill I am willing to die on

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

Okay if you prefer copperhead to fury then MACK is easily the most overrated manufacturer

[@idkhomie24]

@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od you've clearly never ridden ride to happiness, the best coaster in the world. no but actually, I prefer the variety of forces and diversity in layout that copperhead gives, and it has the stronger airtime moments. I don't care much for speed if the forces are great, and that's why I prefer copperhead

[@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od]

@idkhomie24 I found time traveler forceless at most ride to happiness would rank in my top 25

[@idkhomie24]

@@HugeRMCFanBoY-bx3od rth is nothing like time traveler lmao please find me one person who has ridden ride to happiness and not said its a top 5 coaster lol. fury is incredibly overrated anyway if you wanna talk about forceless
