1. Diamondback 2. Mystic Timber’s 3. Orion 4. Beast 5. Banshee Love your list by the way. There is no wrong answer. Always a matter of opinion. People have different tastes about what they like in a ride. I’m always interested to see those differences and similarities when watching these videos. That airtime in the back row on Diamondback always takes the cake for me. Then MT is the wooden airtime machine. Do agree that the first drop on Orion is 2nd to none though. It’s crazy how different DB and Orion are from each other, yet both are excellent rides. Great video my man! Ride On!

You're right about flight of fear and tall people. I'm glad I was fortunate to ride it in my teens because I can't get the bar over my knees anymore 😔

Invertigo looks different in this video than it was when I went several years ago. I wonder how they fixed it all up, when I rode it I got so much headbanging it was painful. Wasnt it called Face Off when it first opened?

We didn’t ride mystic timbers, we thought it was a water ride. Now I wish we rode it. Maybe next year

Mystic is still my favorite, although Orion is second. Mystic's pacing is just so good. Adv Express is better than FoF imo, mostly because the ride itself is just more enjoyable. FoF is much rougher this year because of the complete stop in the mid-course causing laterals all the way through the rest of the ride. It's just uncomfortable.

Honestly the while park is underrated, it's my childhood park. I loved this video, except q few things but yea lol :)

I get it, that some people will feel different things with coasters, depending on many factors, including our height. Some of us are bothered by things that others aren't.

There are a couple spots with a very noticeable rattle

Racer was my first roller coaster

While I still rank Banshee very highly, I do agree that the roughness really impacts the experience. The first time I rode it I was disappointed because I'd heard how great it was but all I could think about was the roughness while I was riding. Front row rides redeemed it and make it really cool for me but the roughness still really hurts the experience. I compare it to Alpengeist in that way, though Alpengeist is more intense and has better restraints.

I love the banshee diamondback, and flight of fear

The Beast is by far the best ride, unbeatable at night I don’t care how much it beats you up these days.
