Solid Top 4, I'd swap Batman w/Superman. Viper is fresh. I would love to see what RMC would be able to do with American Eagle. I look at it and see so much lumber. I can just picture a ton of headchoppers, airtime moments and inversions, kind of like Steel Vengeance, but a lot closer to the ground. I just see so much untapped potential. Great list

I haven't been on Maxx Force, Sprocket Rockets or V2 yet, for various reasons (broken down, too old to ride kids coasters when it opened and too fat/terrified, in that order), but I've been on a couple no longer there when it was my home park, so my ranking is: #14: Shockwave: damn near gave me a concussion #13 Iron Wolf: between this ride and drinking too much Mountain Dew as a kid I probably can't have kids #12 Little Dipper #11 Dark Knight: I waited way too long opening year to realize it was a wild mouse coaster #10 Joker: I neither love nor hate free spins, they're kinda just there. Something I'd probably ride if it were a walk on #9 American Eagle: really loses points since I haven't seen it dueling in years #8 Demon: it was my first looping coaster, and it wasn't as bad as the other Arrow looper in the park (on another note did any other parks have multiple Arrow coasters with inversions besides Great America and Magic Mountain?) #7 Whizzer: Not only was the Whizzer my first coaster, but it's a damn good family ride to this day #6 Superman: a definite improvement over what was in that spot before, and better than any other flying coaster not made by B&M #5: Batman: I think if these weren't rightfully cloned enthusiasts would like this one better #4 Goliath: it's great but really quick and from my ride felt a little rougher than Viper, despite being almost 20 years younger #3 Viper: One of my favorite wooden coasters, and still really smooth for being built in the 90s. #2 X Flight: highly underrated, and the best wing coaster in the whole chain. The keyholes feel so much tighter than Gatekeeper or Thunderbird #1 Raging Bull. The first drop gives the best airtime on any ride that isn't 325 feet tall, and the twister section at the end is a legitimately solid way to end the ride, it's never been out of my top 3 coasters.

Having been to only a handful of coaster centered parks (cedar point, kings island) raging bull is still my favorite ride mainly because of that first drop. The way it whips you over after that pre drop (especially in the back row) is to this day the best ejector airtime I’ve experienced. I’m probably biased because it’s my home park lol.

Mad respect to this ranking. While some of mine differ, I do agree with most of what you're saying about some of these. Raging Bull takes my top spot too as it was my first experience on a B&M hyper last summer and that first drop in the last row rocked my face off. Superman takes the #3 spot for me due to the strong force on my chest at the bottom of the pretzel loop. and X-Flight surprised me since watching POVs of it gave the impression it'd be forceless but it definitely wasn't.

Honestly for Maxx Force, I’d put it at 3. I got some amazing hang time from the first inversion, especially because the restraints are lap bars. X-Flight is a great ride, but would barely make my top 5. Mid-ride when I rode on the edge seat, the restraint tightened on my torso even more and locked into that position. It bothered me, but the ride is still fun.

My GAm hot takes: 1. Demon is slept on. It's a sick night ride with all the lights popping, and the theme song on the way in makes it feel like a museum exhibit. I also have a soft spot for Arrow and I'm totally willing to play defense through those corkscrews because they just feel so bizarre. 2. V2 is a one-rider. I get bored on impulses, and after the first launch I'm ready to be done--in fact I haven't been on in like a decade. Maxx Force is almost that category for me but the launch being that aggro makes it more worthwhile. 3. American Eagle is well past the end of its life. Any ride gathering as much algae as AE is should probably be on the way out. Viper's the better woodie. 4. The roughness help make Viper and Goliath what they are. Guess I'm into getting banged up. 5. Fuck I love Demon.

@@ThemeParkAvenue Personally I wasn't too impressed by the B&Ms in this park. I've never been the biggest fan of B&M hypers, hence why Raging Bull is a bit lower than usual. I do love Raging Bull's twister layout though, and if it actually had solid airtime combined with the strong forces it would rank a lot higher. I also find Superman flyers to be insanely overrated and an absolute snoozefest. Outside of the pretzel loop, I could literally fall asleep the rest of the ride it's so boring and uneventful. X-Flight was pretty disappointing. I think the layout could be fun, but the old vest restraints kill it for me. I either have to ride defensively by bench pressing the vest, or feel like your suffocating. Either way is physically exhausting.

X-Flight is easily better than Gatekeeper to me. Gatekeeper is lacking a lot of force and X-Flight has that in SPADES. AND the keyhole element is better than any I’ve seen on other winged coasters.

I respect that, but I find Gatekeeper more forceful than most do. That said, I agree that the near-miss portion is better on X-Flight.

@@ThemeParkAvenue To me, Gatekeeper has the superior location next to Lake Erie and over the entrance. That part of it is cool, but it’s just big and forceless to me. X-Flight on the wing seats is almost too intense at points. That ending helix on the edge seats will efficiently rearrange your brain. I like the more aggressive rides I get on X-Flight.

@@ThemeParkAvenue I respectfully disagree. X-Flight goes straight from its SICK keyhole element RIGHT into a tight and intense helix. It’s not even a close contest IMO. I do love Gatekeeper. It’s setting is one of the best ever and it’s one of the most beautiful and photogenic coasters I’ve ever seen. And its first drop is the best on a wing coaster. After that drop tho, Gatekeeper doesn’t compare to X-Flight IMO.

Whizzer is definitely a good one to start with. If you want to work your way up from there, maybe try Viper and American Eagle next. Most if the other major rides are very thrilling, but Batman will probably be the best introduction to going upside down if you’re willing to take that leap. Sit near the front but not in the front on these rides if you can because the back tends to be more intense.

I did go twice in 2022, after not going for 2 1/2 years from COVDID-19. My favorite has to be Raging Bull, it’s enjoyable for what it is and therefore my fav, it’s smooth and awesome.

Unpopular opinion. But raging bull is my number 3 here. First drop is great on it. But you don't get the sense of speed throughout the entire second half that you do on most hypers. I do understand that it has a different type of layout than other hypers but it almost seems to have an identity crisis lol.
