Old guy here. There was ABSOLUTELY hype for Desperado back in 1994. USA Today had a cover story and the Travel Channel had a dedicated special with the ride designers/engineers and the owner of the casino. National morning shows did live remotes, as well. Throughout the 90’s, there were billboards for it in the Vegas area advertising “thrills better than The Strip.” Sad that it has become a rarely-open, painful, low-level coaster. It was the pinnacle back in the mid-90’s and the first coaster I ever traveled cross-country for. Marathoned it with an “unlimited rides” wristband.

Everyone was trying to break height and speed records. We went from Raptor to Montu to Alpengeist in B&M invert hype, Mantis to Riddler's Revenge in standup hype, Magnum to Steel Phantom to Desperado and Pepsi Max Big One in hypercoaster hype. It was an exciting time to be a coaster enthusiast. Records were shattering every single year, and there was constant hype for the new biggest & fastest.

@@AirtimeThrills Mostly of the coaster hype in the early 90s was via regional amusement park advertising (local newspapers, TV spots, etc.) But nationwide it happened most prominently via the American Coaster Enthusiasts organization. They publish a quarterly magazine ("Rollercoaster!") and bi-monthly newspaper ("ACE News") which has been in print since the late 1970s. These publications always featured in-depth accounts of new roller coasters under construction, interviews with the park operators and ride designers, whatever accounts of planned specifications they could find, world records being broken, etc. Another way that coaster hype spread was via TV/VHS specials. There was an entire series of VHS tapes, "America's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills in 3-D" / "World's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills" which was the first place I was able to see POV videos of roller coasters, and that is where I personally got onboard the coaster hype for Raptor, Kumba, Top Gun, Drachen Fire, Steel Phantom, and other early-90s coasters. (I also first found out about Desperado [and Pepsi Max Big One] via that "World's Greatest Roller Coaster Thrills" video.) There were also numerous cable TV specials about roller coasters. Most prominently, the Discovery Channel aired an annual "Thrills, Chills, and Spills" TV block on Memorial Day starting in 1996, which always featured brand new coasters which were opening, sensationalizing their records. So yeah, even before the internet became widespread, there was an explosion in mass media via magazines, cable TV, VHS, and national organizations. And this is what fueled the coaster wars of the 90s.

As far as hype for coasters in 1994 (I was 7 so this may be a bit hazy) there definitely was around Nemesis if only because there was a themed pop. It was liquorice and blackcurrant flavour and not my favourite. There definitely was around The Big One, at least near me.

I heard the rest of the intro and knew immediately that Steel Vengeance would top this list

The new carts on the big apple coaster are amazing! It goes so much faster, is smoother, and the ride has airtime! I recently went and got 17 rides on it in one day, and the second drop with the new carts gives you a pretty decent amount of ejector airtime

I was just at CP yesterday and my kids and I loved Magnum. I remembered it being way rougher the last time I rode it. The wait is always short too. I wouldn't put it #2, but that's not a knock the coaster collection is amazing.

Loved the video. Another home run video yet again. Keep it up bro.

Great video!!!! I’ve only ridden 4 rides on your list. I need to step it up lol.

Hey, just wanted to let you know you might wanna put a seizure warning for 6:11, that's a relatively intense strobe and it might be uncomfortable to some :)

Six Flags Over Texas Titan has very comfortable lap bars, intense, and gloss smooth but, the boring layout really does limit the experience. B&Ming Titan would be a nice treat to improve the layout as well as ride capacity with 4 across seating. The clamshells would be an improvement over the already comfortable Giovanola lap bars since they are even more comfortable, and can handle airtime moments much better.

This is a really good idea!

I literally just road the Big Apple coaster on Saturday for the first time... I was so ready for a bad ride, mainly because of your feedback on the coaster in previous videos but... it wasn't! It was good! I think the new trains did the trick because the ride was smooth and fun!

Cant wait for Chris to bring up skyrushes restraints!

The best way to ride SFA’s Superman is at night. The dark forest setting makes the speed feel way more out of control. So I personally wouldn’t want the tunnel there to ruin that.

The hill after the first drop on Wild Thing gives fantastic extended floater air. When it was built in 1996 it was the longest sustained airtime hill of any coaster in the world. The rest of the ride is average I'd say, big boring swooping double helix turnaround and then a mid-course brake run that is a bit temperamental, but on a bad day it absolutely murders the bunny hops on the return leg.

The third hill on Magnum is actually my favorite part of the ride. It always gives me at least 5 seconds of continuous airtime.

Love the vids

was nice meeting you and talking baseball at Valleyfair!

Love you bro!

Nice video

This is much more interesting without b&m, there are so much bad ones at the bottom of the list. I like it! 👍

Mamba now is blazing through its layout.

I got on Desperado the year it opened. There was definitely hype since it beat out Magnum. It was very good, but not as good as Magnum. Steel Force was also a pretty big deal when it opened.

I was totally anticipating to see somebody flex on the train during your footage of the Xcelerator launch

My first ride on Magnum was the year it opened, we waited until just before the park closed to get in line, still one of my favorite rides

I agree with most of the coasters you listed. We will butt heads on my top non B&M Hyper, as it is Skyrush for me.

I got a big apple front row ride yesterday and it was smooth as butter

Very good list and video bro! The only ride I never understand the high ranking on for most people is Magnum XL. Was it better in the past? I rode late last year and I think it is kind of overrated.

Great list and great idea! While allot of these coasters aren’t the traditional hyper models, most of these coasters are intense and/or enjoyable! Steel Force has its good days and meh days. Like most coasters, it’s better on a hot day in a busy park. Most of your top 10 here are in my overall top 10. Magnum comes close and I don’t find it painful as others do. I’ll have to give X2 another try after nearly 15 years. I just expected more 4D free spinning coaster and less of a B&M-style wing coaster. I’ll also give Steel Vengeance another try too as I just didn’t get it the 1st time. I didn’t get Millennium Force the 1st time either, but it has grown on me.

THIS. THIS is the content we all WANT! Lol

THANK YOU FOR PUTING CANNABLE IN YOUR TOP 5 the ride disserves it

Wild Thing is the best of the full-sized ground-up Morgan hypers stateside thanks to that first, very extended airtime hill that lasts for a solid 5 seconds. (Only Superman in Mexico beats it, IMO.) Superman at SFNE was an easy world's best coaster when it was new and with the original T-bars. Legendary. Also I hate to pile on but I will add myself to the voices asking you to please fix the strobe lights at 6:11 or add an epilepsy warning. I don't even have epilepsy but the strobes immediately started triggering a migraine. It is a really intense effect.

Chris you're in another one of my YTPs.

I rode Candymonium for the first time yesterday and I loved it. It was my first hyper coaster

My favorite non-B&M hypers are Phantom's Revenger at Kennywood followed by Titan at Six Flags Over Texas, Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Steel Eel at SeaWorld San Antonio, Wild Thing at Valleyfair, Superman: Ride of Steel at Six Flags America and Magnum XL 200 at Cedar Point.

You always put out top-tier videos!!! I would love to meet you one day!!!

Get this man on The Big One and Stealth, I want to see how they compare to arrow hypers and xclerator respectively

I had the chance to ride Mack hypercoaster this year, it is awesome.

I just rode Steel Force a few days ago. The row of hills at the end will give very strong floater airtime if you're in the front car. If the train is full it will possibly be ejector airtime. I couldn't find any airtime like that on Wild Thing or Mamba. I'm getting back on Mamba in a week to confirm this.

I was hyped up for Desparado in 1995, so there was some Coaster Hype back then. ;)

Now… to rank ALL the Hypers

I’ve only ridden one non-B&M Hyper so far: the airtime-less Goliath at Six Flags Magic Mountain. It was… well, okay to say the least. I really do wish Giovanola would’ve done more with the layout. Maybe Six Flags could have the breaks trim less so the helix-filled finale can be much better, and perhaps they can replace the trains with new ones from B&M. And give it a new paint job too as I noticed from watching recent POVs that part of the track looks pretty filthy.

Talking about cracked phones, when I had my phone in my pocket it had a fairly big crack in the on middle after I checked from Montu 😂. I think it was the batwing if I were to guess when

If you came to the UK and rode Big one, would expect it to be higher than Desperado, and it has some amazing views of the Irish sea and a lot of Blackpool, and that drop is really intense, the rest of the layout is pretty meh but it does have isme nice interactions with other coasters.

Manhattan express: the coaster that shows you can you can bang your head on a hyper

IDEA for a video: Combine ALL hypers on this list (except Manhattan Express) with B&M hyper coasters; all coasters with drops as "little" as Mako and Steel Vengeance (with drops of 200') to Shambala and Hyperion (I know you've never ridden either yet; so in your case, Titan or Goliath at SFMM even though they're kinda crappy.) My case too; I've ridden Goliath at SFMM and it sucks whereas X2 whilst not perfect, is INFINITELY better than Goliath.

When you do ride the Manhattan express with the new trains can you do a review on it.

If you are going to Worlds of Fun soon (I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in the video) PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ride timberwolf in the back!!! The drop is amazing!

With the new trains on Manhatten Express (or Big Apple, or Roller Coaster, or whatever they call it now) it is much better than before, actually enjoyable. But even before than, it was better than Son Of Beast could hope to be. I hope you get to experience it, with the new trains, soon.

B&M has that hyper space on lock, but RMC has made major strides in that space with Steel Vengeance and Iron Gwazi.

My fav. 200 ft coaster is Kärnan at Hansapark and i Think it will stay this way for some time

I was gonna say,” what is number 1?” Then I remembered steel vengeance
