I love the name "junker". The idea of theming a ride to scrappy experimental vehicles is really charming to me, and I'd love to see more like it. Maybe even in the style of mythbusters

[@raviamodernepic]

"the bs ghost shows" lol agreed

[@BeeWhistler]

I was gonna say I preferred them to the reality shows other channels are filled with, but then the similarity smacked me in the face and I recognized that they’re exactly the same thing only with ghosts... So I guess ghost hunters are my Kardashians. I hang my head in shame.

[@sarinadean1038]

Travel channel really had something going for them with their water park and theme park shows. I miss it!

The Windcatcher Tower is certainly a fitting name. It’s one of my favorite parts of Cheetah Hunt.

Has there ever been any coasters you were genuinely scared to ride?

[@koalakyle19]

I stay away from large drop towers. I just cant stand heights, I can barely stand lift hills

[@BinniesDwaekki143]

@@koalakyle19 I never would have guessed. Especially for a coaster enthusiast.

[@koalakyle19]

@@BinniesDwaekki143 Yeah, for me the scariest roller coaster I've been on so far is Millieum Force, because the lift hill is so steep, and it uses a cable lift which stalls a lot which I see people get stuck on. Other than that, Fury 325's lift hill is huge too, but I still need to get there and ride it

[@BinniesDwaekki143]

@@koalakyle19 so do you prefer launch coasters then?

[@koalakyle19]

@@BinniesDwaekki143 Actually, yes I do! Top Thrill Dragster is my blurry profile picture. lol I find launches less scary than slow drawn out lift hills. V2 and Maxx Force are great. I tried getting on thunderbird at Holiday world, but it was closed

[@gameplayxtreme3389]

I went on Kondaa yesterday (best coaster I've ever ridden, and I have 72 credits). So here is my review of the non-inverting cobra roll: It's definitely a very fun element. It really feels like you are about to go through an inversion, yet you never fully go upside down (you get very close to it though). To me, it's actually one of the less intense moments of the coaster that adds more diversity to this air-time filled attraction.

[@timk987]

Funny how a cobra roll gets it name from taking the shape of a striking cobra, but a non-inverting cobra roll looks more like a dog tongue than even the dog tongue double inversion does. As you say semantics are fun!

[@dovey-brawlstars8174]

That non-inverting cobra roll on Kondaa is simply amazing, rode it twice last month and it's easily one of my favorite coasters I've ridden up to date.

[@firstflowerinspace]

Put “Never Underestimate Intamin” on a t-shirt and I’d get it

[@ThemeParkCrazy]

I may just do that.

[@Artbyhurricanyounot]

Damn, who knew Drachen Fire would leave a “positive” impression with the dive drop. Thank goodness Steel Curtain seems to have improved it!

[@timk987]

Kennywood's Steel Curtain matches Drachen Fire by successfully robbing it's riders of what should be a good and proper first drop.

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

Cheetah hunt is honestly so good

[@c8_snow133]

I go to Hershey Park all the time, so it's cool knowing that storm runner is a rare roller coaster

[@martainevo]

I can confirm the non-inverting cobra rollnon Kondaa is not dull.

[@sl3pt_]

Cheetah is such an enjoyable ride too!

[@Gabes1321]

I love the food references too haha

[@coastercreativity1432]

The dog tongue on maxx force is AMAZING! Did it yesterday. You literally hang upside down for a while on the curves up and down!

[@DergonTails]

I've ridden the Kondaa twice last month. Highly recommending it! The airtime is great and the coaster goes so smoothly it feels like you're flying! None of the turns feel forceful and you don't feel uncomfortable the whole ride as well :) So can only say, it's a great coaster! Really glad that we have this one in Belgium ^^

Ive been on that Saxophone coaster before at the one in Italy. Most painful coaster experience ever. Glad I got the credit but I’m doubting it was worth it 😂

[@CoasterHour]

Great list and out of the ones mentioned I would really like to experience the Dog Tongue and Drachen Fire Dive Drop. I also really like the Cobra Loop on Storm Runner which almost feels like an upside down top hat and the negative g-stall loop is one of Hangtime’s best elements.

[@bonnbonn118]

I have a 9 year old daughter. Her favorite coaster is Steel Curtain. I’m a chicken (love roller coaster videos, not so much riding them haha), and she’s like “it’s only 197 feet! That’s nothing!” She’s barely tall enough to ride it 😂 her enthusiasm and unbridled cheer might drag me into the football seat to ride it this year.

[@coasterwaffle9623]

Great to see the non inverting cobra roll on this list. It is very difficult to describe because or is u like anything else, the the twist going into it has some floater and laterals, but the drop back down is so good it gives "upside down" airtime and also so nice laterals

The way they raped Colossus was unforgivable. All that coaster needed was to be restored back to its original IAD design as it had been neutered previously by the parks crap management... Instead we lost a rare treasure.

[@garlandcopeland3137]

@@chdreturns That sucks. Is it beyond repair?

[@casuallystalled]

@@garlandcopeland3137 the ride is completely different that what it use to be, which is common with the conversions RMC does. if the park wanted to restore the ride and make it feel more like the original, than they probably should have gone with GCI, a different manufacturer that still makes wooden coasters

[@bezoticallyyours83]

I miss Arrow Dynamics. I wish they'd never gone bankrupt. They were major innovators.

[@vhheroicis6131]

The NIC at Kondaa is great it provides some good G's at the entrance and also some hangtime at the exit! Love it :)

[@GingerSnape46]

That saxophone coaster looks crazy fun! I'd ride that all day!

[@coasterwaffle9623]

I think or is because of the trims, it slow the trains down so much that you aren't really accelerating so of doesn't qualify as a drop?

[@_simplyjake_]

Awesome to see my home park repped by V2!

[@michielredant9000]

As a Belgian viewer I can say that kondaa is an amazing ride! And the Belgian parks are definitely a fun time! Nothing compared to American coasters but we are a very small country with some good coasters

[@BroeXAudiovisueel]

that non-inverted cobraroll at Walibi Belgium is amazing, it still feels like you're going upside down. You're getting swirled around! Great piece of Intamin!

[@jarnovangoidsenhoven4622]

i live in Belgium and did the non inverted cobraroll and it is unbelievable good, I'm serious

[@jeroen0011]

I've been twice on Kondaa, just the whole ride is nice, just like Taron no real inversions but it just keeps on going and never gets boring until the brake run :), the second time i went on it it was extremely rainy weather, just needed to protect ur face/eyes while riding it and felt a bit like getting sandblasted or something, but not being able to really see what was coming made the downforce and airtime and just all of the ride even more intense and was an amazing experience :-)

[@JFrombaugh]

0:32 "They named another element after a cobra? That's really all they could think of? Come on, there's other snakes out there, why not call it the Viper Loop? Oh wait, that's already used. Well there's Black Mamba, or just regular Mamba. Anaconda? No, we don't want another one of those. Oh! I got it! We'll call it the Mole Snake Loop!"

Even after 40+ years, that banked drop into the helix is still pretty funky on The Beast at Kings Island. It's weird but awesome. Best part of the whole ride, imo.

[@AirtimeThrills]

I need to get on a saxophone at least once in my life

[@Intacoast]

I’ve been on kondaa many times and it’s really good. My only issue is that the non inverting cobra roll doesn’t have as much whip to it as I was expecting but other than that, the ride was amazing.

[@inotetsu7656]

One I think is quite unique is the zero-G winder on my homepark's flagship taiga. I know that it is on 2 other roller coasters but the element is really fun and unconventional.

[@johnschadt2021]

Great review

[@CoasterRoaster]

I think the cobra loop is called that because you start out like it's a cobra roll, but then you dive down rather than going through that second inversion

[@Vrckyy]

i REALLY wanna try those uniqe elements! I'd love them!

[@chickennugget1022]

I live 45 minutes away from Hershey park. Stormrunner was always the scariest ride to me when I was a kid but once I finally worked up the courage to get on it (I was 11 I think) it instantly became my favorite roller coaster. Second would be Great Bear. I rode that one first because it was my mom’s favorite

[@thebe_stone]

7:54 for some reason i find it really funny that they couldn't figure it out.

[@adrianabrandis4338]

I just went to Adventure land in Iowa! The Monster is so fun. You should cover smaller park rollercoasters, Adventureland just got a cat and mouse coaster(I think), and another winged coaster. I can even give my opinion on them:)

[@bjorns.1611]

First off: awesome video as always! I've ridden Kondaa. It's cool in the back and fun, but it didn't strike me as the world class coaster it was hyped to be. I kinda didn't notice the non-inverting Cobraroll. Nothing to write home about. Also the first drop is great but can't hold up to Expidition geForce which has a similar drop. The bunny hops in the end are fun but also nothing too great. I was a bit disappointed. Untamed on the other hand is an absolute beast :-D

[@coasterwaffle9623]

Did you ride it in the morning or afternoon?

[@n3lis94]

I would say the non-inverting cobra roll is actually one of the least convincing parts of Kondaa's layout. It's not as intense as the rest of the ride and certainly fun, but I would've 100% preferred something like a zero G stall or another really great actual inversion.

[@BeeWhistler]

I recognized the very first coaster you showed immediately, before the count-down, I mean... because the only view I’ve ever had of Hang Time has been from the ground while someone else rode it! Very cool at Christmas tho.

[@627jace627]

I've only been on 2 of these, Cheetah Hunt and Steel Curtain. Steel Curtain is absolutely phenomenal. It's so smooth & graceful that you don't even realize you just went through 9 inversions. And while Cheetah Hunt won't wow you with stats, it's just flat out fun. Except the restraints are awful.

[@jefwbc]

I got a ride on Kondaa and it’s great. I live in Belgium and I must say it’s very smooth. Also big loves for Untamed my favorite coaster that i’ve ridden on so far!

I'm here for the shade being thrown at Travel Channel and their ghost shows. Also, these elements seem cool, but many of the differences seem minor and like they're just marketing things (which is probably the case).

[@MrRoeler]

As Walibi being my home park I did kondaa couple of times now and I have to say the non inverting cobra roll is definitely a special and very fun element. Especially when you do it with your eyes closed it's a very weird sensation. Nonetheless the best part of this coaster certainly is just the first drop. It is really outstanding forcefull

They should add a kick flip affect on a surf coaster like pipeline so you could fully embrace the kick flip

[@gameplayxtreme3389]

I've been on Sequoia Magic Loop in Gardaland, and I can say it is just as ridiculous as it looks. It really does feel like a flipped wild mouse. It feels like you will get ejected from your seat at every "turn". I'm going to Walibi Belgium the 28th of June, so I'll be able to ride Kondaa
