You should of named this top 25 RMC COASTERS YOU LOVE 😂

[@Coaster_Crash]

Does RMC even have 25 coasters?

[@notcool1079]

They have 24 atm but next year there’s going to be 25 with the new raptor coming to Adventureland

[@Coaster_Crash]

@@notcool1079you mean lost island?

[@notcool1079]

@@Coaster_Crash yeah I get them mixed up

[@NotSXIDimSXlDシ]

What about prowler

[@raptorwill59453]

The fact that Puff the Little Fire Dragon isn't number one just haunts me.

[@kotchapakmaneechote2062]

Not even Lil' Phantom is here as well. 😢

[@destinationdero]

Great list. Have a good rest of the weekend.

[@kotchapakmaneechote2062]

Imagine having your favorite coaster close to home like Iron Gwazi, this is heaven.

[@gravitythrills5414]

Finally some love for wildcats revenge!!! 👏👏

[@michael7054]

Great video! Very nice top 25 list! I really enjoyed watching this!

[@dleightt]

Thought you forgot about El Toro, glad you mentioned it even though it wasn’t ranked. 25:15

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

I rode Storm Chaser towards the end of July and it was pulling -2.9 g’s by the end. I never knew airtime could be that strong

[@pondskipper3988]

Wildcats revenge is legit great

[@SuperHITMAN9000]

2x speed ACTIVATED!! 😎👍

[@everyrollercoasterrules]

The cobra roll on Hulk at IOA is probably the most intense cobra roll ever made. I grey out on it every time.

[@CommanderCoaster]

I grey out right after the cobra roll heading into the huge vertical loop sometimes

[@dunkmanpr5398]

Alpengeist for me

[@justiceleaguebattleformetr9239]

Hulk definitely has the best cobra roll I’ve experienced, and I’d even say it has the best collection of inversions of any coaster

[@Trinkletoes1234]

@@dunkmanpr5398THANK U

[@Mythical_Arena]

I went to cedar point for the past 3 days and i got stuck on maverick for 30 mins at the second launch. They restarted the ride and we were alr half way through the launch track before we launched. Super intense launch cuz of that

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

Im shocked Arieforce One did not make this list

[@rhysswimmingandgymnastics]

Yeah same. Maybe he just hasn't ridden yet

[@toastterrrr8957]

is this top 5 good for someone who’s been on around 100 coasters? 5. Superman the ride 4. Wicked Cyclone 3. Kingda ka 2. X2 1. Velocicoaster

[@ryancole1096]

Yesss I was biting my nails as every rank kept passing with no wild cat’s revenge until you finally said it!!

[@DanielMettille]

wicked cyclone is one of the best rmc's ive been on, i have been on 4 total, steel vengeance, wicked cyclone, jersey devil and wildcats and wicked cyclone is right up there with voyage and el toro for me personally

[@Sirfubes1]

I was surprised I didn’t see pantheon listed at all…

[@katashworth41]

I getting on Hyperia in 10 days and I’m sure it’s going to be my number 1.

[@spentron1]

I wouldn't put '305 as the best due to one element, the first turn is isn't my favorite part, that would be the relentless speed followed by that hop at ~85 MPH. I did ride Fury again recently, the front row is better and brilliant but none of the other rows do more than hint at how good the front is, not real forceful and the seats combine into a windscreen. Props on a high ranking for Ka, it's hard to rank among normal coasters but so great, although it can also scramble your brain with vibration. I'd rate Arie Force ahead of Wildcat's by one pond, it also ramps up in the middle.

[@twistedjake_]

[@AirtimeAxolotl]

Thats a pretty good list

[@twistedphysics22]

Terrible list 😹

[@camo3444]

This is a very good list as just an overall enjoyment for a roller coaster. People care too much about intensity and not just how much fun it is

[@sonnysinnot7110]

For me, I love iron gwazi’s intensity and that wave turn is something else. But SteVe, it’s just built different

[@jalenpadilla7744]

How did you personally rank Pantheon? And what is your opinion on B&M inverts? I’m curious since I don’t see any of these in your list

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I haven’t been on Pantheon. Banshee, Montu, and Nemesis Reborn were all close to the top 25.

@@calvinpetty343 same

[@AirtimeAxolotl]

Same 😂

[@wxrob8740]

Great list! But not having Montu on there and BGT being your home park should be a criminal offense. I know its almost 30 years old but she is still a beast. I think it pulls more G's than Iron Gwazi!. But overall great list and I can't argue with that number 1 at all.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

Montu is an incredible ride and was a contender for top 25. It’s definitely in my top 50, there are just a lot of great roller coasters out there.

[@wxrob8740]

@@ThemeParkAvenue Yeah I hear that. A lot of good ones I just don't really get to experience... I just don't get to travel as much so I'm a little biased with my home park 🤣. I will have to compile a list of these and put them all on the bucket list so when I can travel I will try to go to one of those parks! Keep up the great job with all your content!

[@garminkid]

My top 25 coasters out of 200 credits (pre Pantheon). I have been to BGT but before Iron Gwazi so that’s why it isn’t on here but Montu is: 1. The Voyage - Holiday World 2. VelociCoaster - Islands of Adventure 3. Intimidator 305 - Kings Dominion 4. El Toro - Six Flags Great Adventure 5. Fury 325 - Carowinds 6. Top Thrill 2 - Cedar Point 7. Wildcat’s Revenge - Hersheypark 8. Skyrush - Hersheypark 9. Steel Vengeance - Cedar Point 10. Lightning Rod - Dollywood 11. X2 - Six Flags Magic Mountain 12. Twisted Timbers - Kings Dominion 13. Maverick - Cedar Point 14. Lightning Run - Kentucky Kingdom 15. The Legend - Holiday World 16. Storm Chaser - Kentucky Kingdom 17. Thunderhead - Dollywood 18. The Incredible Hulk - Islands of Adventure 19. Phantom’s Revenge - Kennywood 20. Ravine Flyer II - Waldameer 21. Montu - Busch Gardens Tampa Bay 22. Phoenix - Knoebels 23. Copperhead Strike - Carowinds 24. Raptor - Cedar Point 25. Tatsu - Six Flags Magic Mountain

[@NathanHydra]

Nice list, the two that stand out most to me here are SteVe on 9 below WR on 7 and Copperhead Strike being in this list at all, could you further explain what you like and dislike about those two I’m very intrigued 👀

[@garminkid]

@@NathanHydra Good question! The reason why Steel Vengeance is not my top RMC is because it’s not as aggressive as I want it. Because of that, the repetitiveness is more apparent. Great ride, but it’s a little too one-sided for me. I prefer rides that have a lot of different forces and elements. Wildcat’s Revenge reins as my favorite RMC because of its aggressiveness and variety. My ride preferences are exactly why Copperhead Strike is here. The launches kinda suck, but the rest of the ride is one of the most balanced roller coasters I’ve ever ridden. It almost gets to Maverick level but falls just short. I’m not one of those enthusiasts who think airtime is the one all, be all force/element. I love positive Gs, laterals, and inversions! That also explains the appearance of two B&M Inverts (Montu and Raptor).

[@AirtimeAxolotl]

I'm happy to see copperhead, legend and lightning run are in other people's top 25 because I love those coasters and they are underated

[@NathanHydra]

@@garminkid very cool, thanks for explaining!

[@garminkid]

@@AirtimeAxolotl 100%! I loved Storm Chaser but it was lacking that bite that everyone says it has. Lightning Run had that bite!

[@BeyondVertical101]

Kingda Ka over Voyage and diamondback ? Hey that's your ranking 🤷🏾‍♂️ but in now way could I put a one tick pony over rides with this many great elements

[@mjay2248]

The only positive wouldve been if GADV announced they decided to make it a dueling coaster ala lighting loops, rolling thunder, chiller, and not some carnival ride that they couldn't open in their 50th anniversary.... sorry but not sorry

[@BeyondVertical101]

Hold on ... What psycho's hate mystic timbers ?

[@ItsAllGood_]

No love for Beast? I'm a sucker for wooden coasters and Beast was the most unhinged, wild, out of control thing I've ever ridden. My overall #3 (behind SteVe and Maverick)

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I do love the Beast, and it was a serious contender. The night ride is something else, but it’s overall not quite in my top 25 best coasters list. It might make a list solely based on enjoyment.

[@JFM_Dimes]

New Texas giant is great one of my favorite RMC’s and I’ve been on Vengeance and gwazi

[@thebenshow6469]

Shivering timbers is definitely the best wooden roller coaster I have ever been on.

[@wooooooooods]

hey do you know a guy named metastarva by any chance

[@BeyondVertical101]

Ok so Steel Vengeance is at my home park and it's been my #1 for more than 4 years now... but after about 12 rides on Iron Gwazi over a week long trip at Busch Gardens Tampa, I couldn't lie to myself anymore Iron Gwazi is the best roller coaster I've ever ridden

[@RollercoasterYS]

how much do you like rmcs and woodencoasters he:yes

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

A few years back this list was almost all B&M and Intamin. I’ve experienced quite a few truly exceptional woodies and RMCs more recently. The rides on this list are all more than worthy of #1 on anybody’s list.

[@NathanHydra]

my current top 25 (purely based on my enjoyment, not objective quality) is: 1. Toutatis 2. Ride To Happiness 3. F.L.Y. 4. Voltron 5. Fenix 6. Untamed 7. Taron 8. Black Mamba 9. Vogel Rok 10. Troy HM Tonnerre deux Zeus (backwards) 11. Colossus - Kampf der Giganten 12. Oziris 13. Wodan 14. a. Joris en de Draak (vuur) b. Joris en de Draak (water) 15. Silver Star 16. Flug der Dämonen 17. de Vliegende Hollander 18. Baron 1898 19. Big Thunder Mountain (Paris) 20. Avengers Assemble: Flight Force 21. Blue Fire 22. Anubis 23. Star Trek: Operation Enterprise 24. Pegase Express 25. Lost Gravity Note that I’ve only ridden coasters in the NL, France, Germany and Belgium and that I’m still missing a fair few from said countries to

[@Coaster_Crash]

1. Velocicoastee 2. Maverick 3. Leviathan 4. Millennium Force 5. Behemoth 6. Incredible Hulk 7. Yukon Striker 8. Gatekeeper 9. Valravn 10. GOTGCR 11. Rougarou 12. Backlot Stunt Coaster (cw) 13. Magnum 14. River Adventure (i count it as a credit) 15. Gemini 16. Iron Dragon 17. Cedar Creek Mine Ride 18. Wild Mouse (cp) 19. Flight Deck 20. Corkscrew Honorable mention to Mighty Canadian Spinebuster at Canada’s Wonderland

[@Amazing_Italian]

I think el toro should’ve been in this, but overall acceptable list

[@508mns]

I take it you like RMC lol! Amazing list honestly. Edit; yeah you deff like rmc, 44% of the list is RMC, very based

[@marcusmontgomery2686]

Disclaimer: This was my first time seeing your video where I noticed that this was more Majority RMC / Intamin Top 25 list 2024 with only 1 B&M making the list. Everyone has their own picks, however, I recommend to you not to have a top 25 then criticize the coasters on the list in the same presentation. Respectfully, I am disappointed at this list because this was more RMC & Intamin with no Arrow, Mack Rides, S&S, Vekoma, Schwarzkopf, more B&M, and other manufacturers. Just Saying, this should have been called Best RMC & Intamin.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I do love roller coasters from other manufacturers, and I have hundreds of videos praising rides that aren’t on this list, but this is my list of the 25 coasters I consider the best. A lot of B&M roller coasters were really close, which is why I gave them an honorable mention, and the other manufacturers are ones I haven’t gotten on the best rides from (for the most part). RMC-dominated lists are becoming common because most of their roller coasters really are just that great, but everyone is welcome to disagree.

[@coastercult4142]

I thought twisted Timbers would not make it on this list.

[@mig4868]

Not a lot of people talk about Prowler.
