Congratulations

[@jaybird455]

Wow brother congrats! I remember when I subbed, you had less than like 500 I think. I def remember your 1k Q&A lol.

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

@@jaybird455You sure have, thanks for sticking with me.

[@jaybird455]

@@ThemeParkAvenue absolutely! I’ve always enjoyed your channel. I don’t always agree with you, but coasters are so subjective. Anyways, I’ve always thought you have a broad understanding of the coaster industry and I love your channel! Can I like tip or contribute somehow to your channel? Like 20 bucks or something?

[@calvinpetty343]

I honestly don’t understand a lot of the complaints about six flags over Georgia. I’m a local, so I’m a little bit biased, but I think the park is beautiful with all the trees and terrain and has a great atmosphere. The ride lineup is very deep, and every roller coaster is worth riding at least once. I even prefer the ride lineup to something like Carowinds, because even though it doesn’t have that world class attraction like Fury, the quality is more spread out and overall better. On top of that, I am used to the layout of the park and think it’s very creative. Lastly, I’m really disappointed when a lot of my favorite KZbinrs seem to have a bad experience with the operations, because whenever I go, as in EVERY time I go, I have never had a problem with them. I definitely think SFOG is well worth a spot in the top ten

[@coasters-in-Christ]

Exactly, I went recently and there were no closures except for acrophobia, and the ops were actually decent. I didn’t wait for more than 5 minutes for any coaster. Overall, SFOG is a park that receives way too much hate.

[@RedPilledDan]

I’ve been twice, it’s a good park, but the operations are terrible and there’s almost nothing for good/special food. The ride line up is really good and carries the park entirely.

[@IClickYT]

not many problems it’s just mid

[@robinstamper2446]

The ride lineup is not my issue. Every time I have gone, the employees not only seem to hate their jobs, but they seem to deliberately make sure the guests know they hate their jobs. Of course there are exceptions. But generally the employee-attitude is absolutely abominable.

[@calvinpetty343]

@@robinstamper2446 I definitely see that complaint but it has never negatively impacted my experience really at all

[@CoasterParadise12323]

YEAH! Look at my home park getting #1! I love Kings Island! Keep up the great work!

[@DoswarePictures]

It’s nice to see a ranking video where my home park (Michigan’s Adventure) isn’t last.

[@reqazyxxxyt2091]

Also my home park, me personally I enjoy every time I go there

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

That flagship attraction is simply too good.

[@AndyisGreat820]

I didn't hate Michigan's Adventure like I thought I would. Not only is shivering timbers really good, but Thunderhawk wasn't even really rough. If they ever finish putting the new track on Wolverine Wildcat, it's gonna be a decent park.

[@ChuckE.CheesesIllinois]

I'm happy to hear that Great America is still your favorite Six Flags park! As a non coaster enthusiast, my hope for the park it to get the theming back, as that's what's been missing for so long here.

[@jay-dubb.dubb.68]

Go Kings Island🗼🎢🎡🎠!!! I am so proud of my home park (of 40+ years)!! So many good memories throughout the years, great operations, excellent rides, good food, love the atmosphere! 😍🎉

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

It seems like an ideal home park.

[@MattMcIrvin]

I'm mildly shocked that you ranked my regional park in the chain, Six Flags New England, that high, just below Kings Dominion. In part because I remember when it was regarded as one of the weakest Six Flags parks. But it's true that its top two are superb, my personal favorite coasters in the world and one of the best one-two punches in the business. Batman: The Dark Knight and the smallish classic woodie Thunderbolt are solid supporting rides. It's also got a surprisingly good waterpark which is included in some general admission packages. I think it needs a lot of cosmetic work, though, especially once you get past the front area that still has traces of the old Riverside. There's not enough shade and a lot of essentially unthemed rides plunked down on asphalt, as Six Flags so often does. It could use a launch coaster, and the family offerings feel like filler and could use some love. Operations can also often be slow and food is just mediocre, overpriced amusement-park stuff. For ambiance, the smaller parks in New England all have it beat by a mile.

[@crazycoasters469]

amazing video man!! keep up the good work!

[@michael7054]

Great video! It makes me happy seeing Kings Island at number one! I enjoyed watching!

[@wartyfut1234]

great vid, congrats on 12k, this channel is so underrated!

[@pipepicasso8112]

I’m lucky enough to have Kings Island as my home park. It’s something to be proud of that my community loves the park, and the workers there make it welcoming to all that visit. It makes me happy coaster enthusiasts love the park. The future looks bright ahead, so many coaster options with the land they have. Hopefully, we get that standout coaster for the stacked lineup.

[@Paolo8772]

I live in a suburb of Vancouver. I've never been to Texas or Virginia, so I can't count the parks there. 8: Knott's; 7: Canada Wonderland; 6: Six Flags Magic Mountain; 5: Six Flags Great America; 4: Carowinds; 3: Six Flags Great Adventure; 2: Cedar Point; 1: Kings Island. Thanks for posting!

[@scottwaldo]

You gotta go to fiesta Texas it’s one of the best six flags parks with probably the best theming out of all of them along with a great coaster lineup

[@michaelsullivan1052]

I love Kings Island. Been going there since its inception in ‘72. Took my kids there and now I’m looking forward to taking my grandkids there. I truly keeps getting better every year.

[@chargedonpc9989]

It's awesome how you make such long list videos like this. El Toro now has free lockers for everyone, and other coasters might get them too. I think some have them for flash pass users currently, but not for everyone, but I'm not sure if they're actually usable for flash pass users yet anyway.

[@foy1731]

Great escape is getting more and more love, a lot has been renovated since you’ve been there (which I was there on that school trip) the park is usually not to crowded (that’s why it was so crowded) I bet in the next few years, the park will be way nicer than then

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

That’s very exciting.

[@TommonSensePro]

4:45 You gotta ride Wolvering Wildcat again. The 1st half is extremely smooth now with the new titan track. Hopefully they redo the rest this off season.

[@Yzerman1991]

Shivering Timbers is def one of the best roller coasters I've ever been on.

[@Ryzohm0141]

For a second, I thought you would forget Shivering Timbers

[@That1Broccli]

Six Flags Discovery Kingdom is my home park and I’m glad you enjoyed it.

[@commonwealthedison2640]

Great list!

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

Thank you!

[@johnpaulstrobel2547]

Though I respect the placement of MA as you specifically said it's meant to only be the dry portions of the park, but as a regular to MA, I've found that if you view the park as both the dry park and the Waterpark (especially since it's included in admission), it actually can fill up your day pretty well and doesn't get boring after going 4 or 5 times throughout the summer. The park itself though is definitely lacking and needs some love. Unfortunately it'll never receive it as it's one of the best Cash cows Cedar Fair has rn.

[@RealWildWalter]

Ranking all the ones I’ve been to 1. Cedar Point 2. Kings Dominion (interchangeable) 2. Kings Island (interchangeable) 4. Six Flags Great America (extremely unimpressive)

[@MrPizza_0919]

the reason why sfgam was unimpressive to you was because you literally went to the top 3 best cedar fair parks

[@RealWildWalter]

@@MrPizza_0919 it really wasn’t that. Maybe it was just the Six Flags shock but the management was so awful. I can elaborate if you really want.

[@MrPizza_0919]

@@RealWildWalter well yes six flags has worse management than cedar point, sfgam is one of the best six flags parks

[@edt-ze3ke]

SFOG’s ops have improved a lot during my visit to the park this season. So they are not bad as it was 3 years ago or last year for example

[@cheekycrab.]

just went to six flags great america and it’s probably the best park i’ve been too (over sdc, mm, and bgt) but i’m going to cedar point soon and hopefully that beats it

[@Goliath146]

15:32 Dorney just got iron menace so they have a new best coaster, iron menace has really good pacing.

[@hallcameron814]

At the end of the day I do prefer Cedar Point overall all of the parks. Kings Island is very close behind, the operations are phenomenal and the staff is friendly and the park is very charming.

[@daniellemarcantel2487]

I'll take number 6 for my home park of Carowinds! ❤ I will admit, I hate the Cyclone though. 😆 KI has a great lineup, but it is a little intimidating that armed guards are at the park and you have to worry about people stealing your beach towel at the waterpark.

[@Blitzol]

Six Flags STL is way underrated in this list

[@jericholicss]

Couldn't believe he had World's of Fun, and Valleyfair above it.

[@Blitzol]

@@jericholicss yes

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

I know many call it underrated, I unfortunately didn’t quite have the best experience.

[@sailorluna4000]

I have a soft spot for KI as it’s my home park, I just started going there again after an almost 7 year hiatus. Took my son trying to break him in early I love rollercoasters I’m hoping when he’s older I’ll have a riding buddy

[@jaybird455]

I also wanted to ask your opinion on this: I just got back from Carowinds and I currently have 98 credits. What would you do if you were me for my 100th? I wanted it to be Top Thrill 2, but that’s not looking good lol. I live in Louisville so I could go to KY Kingdom and ride either Storm Chaser or Lightning Run for my 100th credit or drive to Holiday World and ride The Voyage. Yes I live in Louisville and have never ridden Storm Chaser or Lightning Run and I have all the credits at Holiday World with exception to the new family coaster and the Voyage. It was down when I went a few years ago. What would you do? Or if you have another suggestion, let me know!

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

The Voyage sounds like an incredible coaster to have as a milestone credit.

[@CorkscrewCoaster]

magic mountain at 5 is outrageous

[@doug8381]

Agreed lol. Sure aesthetically and operations wise not the best, but who cares! It's all about the coaster lineup imo and MM is top 2 in the world

[@CC-sv9fs]

I don’t know if i agree Magic Mountain is fun sure but 1 the park doesn’t have a true world class coaster in my opinion 2 the park entrance is a long walk and 3 like is said opperations and aesthetically its not the best for an example the reason why i prefer Cedar Point is because it has true world class coasters and its more assessable to get in witch helps its superiority rather than Magic Mountains one entrance compared to Cedar points 3 front gate Magnum/Breakers entrance and the Valravn entrance but thats just my opinion and its from my experience. Now i don’t even think CP is perfect its got its own issues but ive always found it better than MM. its also why i dont think MM is my favorite in California and i think Disneyland is far superior its not even a debate.

[@IMWBMEGJCC]

SFMM is my home park and I think it’s the most overrated park ever.

[@CC-sv9fs]

@@IMWBMEGJCC that may not be a bad take because some people are treating like its the best amusement park in California cough Airtime thrills ( i like his videos no shade) and the best Six Flags park and its not people also make it out like it has the best coaster in the world and in my opinion i don’t think it has a truly elite coaster i mean its a fun park and i enjoyed going there but its not one of the best parks in the world let’s be real y’all.. Maybe not the most overrated park ever but its becoming overrated

[@misscandy84]

great escapey home park love the bobcat and comet

[@colepavlishin5299]

I can’t understand why b&m never went with the helix turnaround again that they used on Goliath at SF Georgia, people rave about the intensity of it on a ride model that very rarely features positive g’s, I also really don’t mind paid lockers, I had the best possible experience at great adventure I think anyone Could have for Real, having to buy a locker was really an afterthought and a necessary evil with amusement parks

[@AirplanesAndAirtime]

I have so many cool pics of wonderland it’s taking up my storage

[@Crans3070]

Kings Dominion + Knott’s Berry Farm > wonderland. Wonderlands crowds are insane. The 3 great roller coasters are weighed down massively by junk causing insanely large lines for leviathan , behemoth, and Yukon striker

[@Crans3070]

For me it’s right on the edge. Could even possibly go below Six Flags over Georgia

[@RainbowDemon]

Six flags great america is my hometown park and I have worked as a scare actor there for two years now. It’s honestly so pretty and we pride ourselves on its cleanliness

[@ThemeParkAvenue]

You and the team do a great job.

[@spentron1]

To me SFoT and Caro should be below KD, SFoG prob. higher, otherwise good list. Was very impressed with KI, while CP is more high tech/firsts, KI's B&Ms and Mystic had me feeling like I can fly. Beast and Bat were also amazing. Adventure Express isn't rough, that's great laterals!

[@coastercult4142]

So happy KD is getting a wing coaster

[@Posirep]

Sounds like your 1 bad visit really tainted Fiesta Texas. Honestly I have it #2 behind Kings Island. Although im one of those people who really dont quite like Cedar Point, Great Adventure or Magic Mountain. Give me a nice forested or scenic park over concrete jungles anyday. Also my biggest surprise at Over Texas was something you didnt speak of...Pirates of Speelunker Cave is one of the most bizarre dark rides ive been on and it was refurbed in 2023 apparently. SFNE is my home park and honestly I would not have it top 15🤷‍♂️

[@aidsetab806]

SFFT is really a gem. It’s a well rounded park with beautiful atmosphere. I have it at #1, but I haven’t been to the Ohio parks yet.

[@coastercube838]

It’s a good video but the huge complaint is you hating on michigans adventure. Thunder hawk is really great for an SLC it’s really smooth and you cannot even call w wildcat rough because after it got titan track and a bunch of gravity group track it is smooth and forceful.

[@Hi_its_me_actually_me]

[@leitakcoc]

I’ve never really gotten the appeal of Kings island. I’ve gone there on two separate trips. The first time I was like meh. I watched many videos of people raving about the park and I thought to myself, “hmm, maybe it was a fluke.” I went again recently and felt similarly, in fact, if anything, worse.

My biggest criticism of X2 is actually that it isn’t very intense for the majority of the ride based on my experiences.

[@Jsquaredbro]

Knotted berry farm at #10 & SF Over Texas is at #8. Is crazy. I do agree SFMM is a top #5. Yeah, the coasters are great but overall the park as a whole sucks. I said what I said. I’m very happy that fiesta tx placed higher.

[@zachguest8565]

great ranking only ones iv been to are canadas wonderland darien lake cedar point kings dominion kings island carowinds great escape la ronde and knotts berry farm though iv never been to californias great america or discovery kingdom i think great america looks like the better park but i respect your opinion so i do think discovery kingdom looks better then the marine park canada has marineland that park is so creepy its large and every ride and attraction is far out from each other so is animals and no theming there at all it looks abbanded and it looks more like a forest then amusment park it could us some music to make it feel more welcominng or an expantion by the way i agree about kings island it looks better then cedar point now even though cedar points coasters are better to me iv only been to kings island during paramount era though so i cant really judge i havent road any of the cedar fair era coasters
