Id put Six Flags Qiddiya at under 50% of opening this year

[@ryan-uk6jf]

it will probably open in winter of 2024

[@memesrct_official]

That has been delayed to 2025 in order for the opening date to be more realistic than the 2024 opening.

[@randalheller7460]

Try 100% it has way too much work to do

[@CanobieCoaster]

They claimed late 2024 when I recorded this.

[@chrisshort4121]

Yeah looking at the latest pics I'd agree

[@ElectriKong-]

Six Flags Qiddiya City has been confirmed to be opening in 2025.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Oh my bad. I had seen late 2024 when I recorded this.

[@calvinpetty343]

All good man!

[@Liight]

Ehoco Chip Creek

[@PalmburgResort]

HI LIGHT

[@calvinpetty343]

Was it really necessary to point this out?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Fixed it, thanks.

[@chazgames3690]

The fact that floater hill has to be so so drawn out to not kill the riders with negative g forces 😂

[@CanobieCoaster]

Exactly!

[@calvinpetty343]

Just shows how ridiculous the scale of the ride is. It could be #1 in the world if you’re able to feel that speed through the windshields

[@leobourdon6734]

Regarding Voltron, I had the chance to enjoy multiple rides on it last week. I was afraid it may have been overhyped, but it's miles above RTH for me, and neck and neck with Untamed for Europe's best coaster. I have to say I'd give Voltron the edge for its theming. I didn't experience any rattle on my different rides, but I may have just gotten lucky (some trains have a pretty bad rattle from what I've been told by other enthusiasts, but Mack seems to be working on it). I'm really looking forward to your review. I recommend the exterior right seat in the back and front rows, you absolutely get slammed into that stall!

[@anonymous-mq7ce]

what about zadra ?

[@leobourdon6734]

@@anonymous-mq7ce It's a great ride, but below Untamed for me as it has fewer elements and lacks airtime.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Voltron is a great ride and I'll have a review for it soon.

[@joecandish3923]

Surprised Drayton Manor New Lift & Launch Coaster didn't t make it that ride looks super interesting

[@ElectriKong-]

Probably got pushed out by 4 coasters that are opening in 2025.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Looks intriguing, but it was hard to rank given the lack of a full layout

[@tayo0404]

going to Thorpe on Hyperia's opening day, it looks mental

[@CanobieCoaster]

It looks amazing.

[@verybighomer]

Indiana Beach executive team: "We need a new coaster. Let's do something patriotic and call it 'All American Whatever'. All agree? Fine, then hurry up" One week later: "Boss, I can get a great reliable German coaster at a discount!". "Great, the GP will still buy it as long as it's blue and red."

[@alantrotter2077]

I don't think Indiana Beach is going to get a new B&M or Intamin so getting the Schwarzkopf is pretty good considering the park was in danger of going away completely just a few years ago.

[@verybighomer]

@@alantrotter2077 I do not question the decision to get the Schwarzkopf. Actually preserving good coasters is great. Just find it funny that they call it "All American" while its VERY German.

[@cfrankbii9613]

I'm fine with the decision because it's a schwarzkopf, but I saw on a video it slid backwards down the lift hill and through the station. Luckily no collision and I haven't checked to see if it's back open.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I'm glad they took their time to restore the coaster

[@calamitycoasters2591]

Heading to thorpe park after the end of my exams for 2 days midweek (27th and 28th of june) planning to lap hyperia for a lot of those days

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sorry it was closed for your visit

[@just-dashin]

I love ehoco chip creek

[@CanobieCoaster]

Whoops, I'll edit that.

[@NathanHydra]

I’m set to ride both Voltron and Hyperia this year and they’re both in contention for my no. 1 spot currently occupied by Toutatis.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Nice!

[@Duelingdragons382]

1:52 I think you made a mistake, it says Ehoco instead of Choco

[@StamfordBridge]

It is themed to ehocolate chips.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Fixed it, thanks.

[@ProfBAM2113]

Out of curiosity, did you record this before or after TT2 was announced to undergo extensive maintenance after its opening weekend?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Before

[@nsvstheworld]

Wow, I'm so excited for Ehoco Chip Creek!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Whoops, my mistake.

[@Aerolandaircraft]

Top Thrill 2 seems like a 2025 coaster to me...but I'm excited to ride Hyperia on June 27!

[@CanobieCoaster]

I recorded this before the issue occurred.

[@cg_plays]

Wdym it opened a couple days ago

[@sebastienbalembois2491]

Great video as always. One I would love to see is a list of the best dark rides you’ve ridden in the US not made by Disney or Universal

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have a top dark rides video with several non Disney and Universal rides.

[@cfrankbii9613]

Definitely an exciting year for coasters, but been seeing a lot of mixed reviews and serious technical issues for some of the ones that have opened. Like Voltron being good but shaky/rough, the indiana beach one sliding backwards down the lift hill, and TT2 already being closed until further notice (but was great for the 2 weeks it was open). We'll see.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Voltron's shake seems to be related to trains that don't have the full suspension yet. That should be fixed in the future.

[@mitchellries256]

If we're talking about the most anticipated new for 2024 roller coaster, it's easily Top Thrill 2 at Cedar Point for me. However, that's assuming it reopens by mid July because that's when I am going and I hear they just closed it down shortly after opening. What happened to it this time? I thought the transformation into what it is now was supposed to make it more reliable.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I recorded this before the downtime occurred.

[@clairefunnell8481]

All these new coasters look totally cool. That Tilt one looks really insane. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@CanobieCoaster]

Tilt coasters look awesome.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Gerstlauer Infinity Inverted Coaster at Parque del Cafe: Did you like both the trains, restraints, airtime, hangtime, positive Gs, laterals, speed, pacing, and rattle of Storm? What do you think?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I liked Storm minus the rattle.

[@SamApocalypse]

I think its impossible that Six Flags Qiddiya opens this year. But isnt the Tilt coaster at Cotaland gonna open? I dont see it on the list

[@CoasterGuy95]

cotaland was delayed to 2025

[@CanobieCoaster]

Cotaland said they're 2025. Six Flags Qiddiya has claimed late 2024.

[@TheNinjaDC]

I feel the family B&M's were placed way too low. They will probably be the best family coasters of the year. Or number 2&3 if the Donkey Kong coaster opens on time and isn't delayed again. I'd say they will probably be in the top 15, with Orlando's one maybe making the 10 spot if the theming elements are good. Penguin Trek will probably be better than Big Bear Mountain. *Penguin Trek making it to top 10 for 2024 is also from coasters not making it this year, like all of Six Flags Q, being removed from the list.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Hopefully the new B&M families ride better than expected.

[@maverickheartlineroll]

5:48 i can already see the tiktoks "SCARY ROLLER COASTER FLIES OFF THE TRACKS 😱😱" 8:50 we already had a coaster that goes backwards 100 mph lol, though the airtime over the top hat looks wild and the spike is cool Regardless great video idk how u find time to make all these videos lol

[@CanobieCoaster]

Thanks!

[@Heatherofscots]

I wish I could get on Voltron and Hyperia but I doubt I will ever. I have been on TT2 already and most likely will get on Penguin Trek and Phoenix Rising this year . Oh and Trollocoaster too 😄

[@CanobieCoaster]

Hopefully you can make it out to those rides in the future.

[@William_Does_Coasters2255]

10 days until Hyperia

[@StamfordBridge]

Wow - it’s opening that soon?!

[@chrisshort4121]

Yeeeahhh! Im getting there at 7am haha

[@CanobieCoaster]

Hope you got on it before the downtime.

[@William_Does_Coasters2255]

@@CanobieCoaster Nope

[@chrisshort4121]

@@CanobieCoaster sure did dude, it's a wild one

[@danielward4868]

I'm riding Hyperia on 3rd June and cannot wait to ride

[@CanobieCoaster]

Enjoy!

[@notsospoopybob]

It's closed till 9th June now, assuming you know that though

[@jasondelmaitre2838]

Voltron⚡⚡⚡

[@CanobieCoaster]

Amazing ride.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Gerstlauer Infinity Inverted Coaster at Parque del Cafe: Why did you say "I just hope it doesn't have the rattle of Storm"?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Because Storm has a rattle.

[@StamfordBridge]

Did you make this video before the rider reviews of TT2 came out? With the extremely enthusiastic reactions, it’s hard to imagine it ranking beneath, say, Bobcat.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Top Thrill 2 likely will be a better ride than Bobcat or Flash, but I gave those 2 the edge since they're at parks local to me.

[@raphael6096]

Falcons flight opens next year

[@CanobieCoaster]

At the time of recording, I saw the park was shooting for a late 2024 opening.

[@mateoalvira3514]

You said, were you a bit concerned about the Infinity Flyer trains? Which GCI trains do you prefer, the Infinity Flyers or the Millennium Flyers?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Millennium Flyers

[@robinstamper2446]

I am a big fan of your park and coaster reviews (not to mention that peculiar sing-song-like vocal inflection of yours that is so distinct). However, Top Thrill 2 so low…? Yikes! Ah well. Chacun a son gout, say the French. In this case, I concur…with the French phrase….

[@CanobieCoaster]

Top Thrill 2 looks great. I had some local coasters ahead of it since they're at parks I visit more frequently. This is my personal list of most anticipated rides.

[@officialchase02]

Top thrill 2 actually is being closed for an extended period of time

[@CanobieCoaster]

I filmed this before the issue arose.

[@Tipsuns]

top thrill 2 at number 10 is kinda crazy

[@CanobieCoaster]

I gave the edge to a few coasters local to me or entirely new rides.

[@Paolo8772]

I don't think anything at Quiddia will open before 2025. If I'm wrong about that: I don't think Falcon's Flight will open before 2025, assuming it opens in 2025.

[@CanobieCoaster]

They claim 2024 and multiple rides are built.

[@TravisBeaves]

what about hot wheels at mattel adventure park

[@CanobieCoaster]

Opening next year.

[@gamervivar8091]

Pls make 8:34 spitfire,s staton music the prodigy spitfire

[@CanobieCoaster]

Maybe they will.

[@maxmustermann6612]

Voltron is really good

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sure is

[@AG7-MTM]

Too bad Circuit Breaker and the Hot Wheels coasters were delayed again to 2025. I hope this does not spell disaster for the parks or manufacturers

[@TheSirenSeeker]

Palindrome is going vertical as we speak - there is hope!

[@quix9556]

I doubt the manufacturers are suffering much, they’re getting their money as long as the coasters are built.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hope those parks open next year without a hitch

[@LaunchCoasterLover]

What about Ziegelblitz ?

[@verybighomer]

Too scary.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Didn't quite make it.

[@dougronald561]

Saudi Arabia just far to travel just to find it closed.

[@CanobieCoaster]

That could be a problem given how ambitious the ride is.

[@remembercitadel-videogamemusic]

Cute to see you think SFQ opening in 2024...

[@CanobieCoaster]

They claim late 2024. We'll see if that holds true.

[@kennethmartin4412]

Are you predicting Twin Mill Racer to be a dud?

[@CanobieCoaster]

No, that looks to be 2025.

[@alantrotter2077]

I don't believe Six Flags Qiddiya will open this year. Voltran is the coaster I'm looking on getting on the most. I'm not riding Hyperia this year but if I was it would be neck and neck with Voltran. Top Thrill 2 edges out All American Triple Loop in the US in terms of new coasters in 2024.

[@CanobieCoaster]

They've been targeting late 2024. Multiple rides are built so hopefully it does open.

[@tayo0404]

falcon's flight ain't opening this year

[@CanobieCoaster]

I saw late 2024 is their goal.

[@tayo0404]

@@CanobieCoaster i don't believe they'll have it ready by then nor should it opne late this year. Next year is better due to the fact they can start next year strong

[@randalheller7460]

Six flags won’t open this year and this is almost six months late lol

[@CanobieCoaster]

They have been targeting a late 2024 opening.

[@quintocreations5091]

Its mack rides like mack daddy. Not like a jet going mach 3.

[@carysage]

Since when?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I've heard themselves call it "Mach"

[@carysage]

Don't listen to them. TT2 at #10 was not a low ranking at all. I have zero anticipation for that ride and I go to CP just as often as I go to my homepark...

[@CanobieCoaster]

Top Thrill 2 looks great. I just placed a few original and closer rides higher.

[@Derangedlefty]

What on earth made you think Quiddya was opening this year lmao

[@CanobieCoaster]

They've said late 2024.

[@notsospoopybob]

i find it really hard to be excited for six flags qiddiya unfortunately. i dont want to endorse the culture of forced labour and exploitation in that region of the world

[@CanobieCoaster]

Everyone can make their decision if they want to visit or discuss the park given its location.

[@michaelod8841]

anything in six flags qiddya opening in 2024? nahhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The park claims late 2024.

[@danwolfe238]

Lol can't believe people are hyped for tt2 its already a hunk of junk

Thoosies when they expect a new coaster to go absolutely perfectly:

[@macaronandcheese1811]

you're just jealous YOUR grand opening didn't go so smoothly for the first month

[@StamfordBridge]

Is this some kind of exercise in denial? The early rider reviews have been uniformly over the moon about it. It has clearly blown away general expectations.

[@CoasterGuy95]

it looks alright but nothing world class. top 50 at least but not much more.

[@edt-ze3ke]

@@quix9556 Don't forget that they start complaining when their most anticipated coaster of the year shuts down for "no reason" for a certain amount of time.
