MART!

I’ve said it before, i’ll say it again: Apollo’s is a NIGHT RIDE, BACK ROW, TRIMS OFF coaster. It’s top tier when those three conditions are met. 😊

It sounds like a fun time, but I doubt it’d go from a mediocre experience to top-tier

While you are probably correct, if you apply those same conditions to every other B&M hype they would still probably be better.

@@CoasterDashif you take into consideration this is the first B&m hyper coaster, it ages better than some others there

I rode pantheon about 2 months ago, definitly didn't disappoint, the launch backwards is insane at those speeds.

just imagine top thrill 2s backward launch.

I finally got to ride Pantheon today for the first time since it was closed on my visit to BGW in 2023 -- and I loved it. I'm hooked. Two weeks ago, I finally got my first ride on I-305 and I said it was my new number one coaster. Right now, I'm not sure about that -- it may've be unseated by Pantheon. I'm going back to the park tomorrow to get several more rides on Pantheon -- and we'll see if I'll have my mind made up about which of the two coasters I prefer over the other. I do so much appreciate Project (Intimidator) 305 for it's height, insane speed, relentless intensity, and beyond-snappy transitions -- BUT I think I might appreciate Pantheon more for its diversity in its layout -- that insane backward launch that almost ejects you out of the train twice -- what a phenomenal launch (my new favorite launch). Soaring up the spike backwards and hanging there briefly -- especially in the back row -- phenomenal. The top hat -- the two great inversions -- the entire layout is perfect. There's not one second of the ride that I don't find phenomenal. And I could 100 % care less at all about the lack of theming (not that I care about theming on coasters in general anyway) -- Pantheon could be plopped down in the middle of a strip mall parking lot and it wouldn't even phase me given the perfection of the coaster... "How incomplete life would be without Intamin."

Pantheon so good.

Pantheon was great, besides the launches rattling the train worse than Banshee. I’ve never had a LSM or LIM launch shake like that. But everything else was smooth and had more airtime than I expected. That said, my favorite coaster of the day was Verbolten. Such a fun, re rideable family coaster.

Im thankful that my mom works here and taht I live near this park cuz I get to ride lots of new types of rides that I never rode

So, I live between Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens. I have season passes to all parks every year. I’ve had some great rides on Pantheon but, was very disappointed with the theming. Especially since it was 2 years late opening due to covid. 305 is my favorite ever. I love the intensity. It really is the best ever.

i was here about 2 months ago and I can't agree with you more. It's a gorgeous park with a great coaster lineup and good food too. Also yeah, alpengeist is insane. the whip on the cobra roll has to be one of the most intense moments I've ever felt on any ride. And my god, pantheon was fantastic. A front row ride on that thing is definitely in my top 10.

Apollo's chariot is my favorite B&M hyper

I actually met the guy in the video who was wearing the Great Bear shirt. He was at the park the same day that I was there at the end of March. I was asking him if he thought that Pantheon would ever open, and he told me that it wouldn't due to some technical issue. I talked to him for a short while before we split off and went opposite directions in the park. As I had mentioned to you very recently, Pantheon was closed all day when I was there -- so, I have yet to ride it. I think I'll try again this spring -- and hopefully I'll be lucky this time. Busch Gardens is only a six hour drive from where I live, so it's not too far away-- can easily be a long weekend trip. Verbolten is awesome. I love that coaster. I rode it many times throughout the day. Apollo's Chariot is also the weakest B&M hyper I've ever ridden. It's not a bad coaster -- it's just a little too tame and mild for me when it comes to hypers. I really enjoyed Griffon. It was only open for the last hour that I was at the park -- so, I crammed in 4 consecutive rides on it. It was my favorite coaster of the day (since Pantheon was closed). I like Alpengesit a lot. I rode it more than any other coaster in the park -- but it's not one of my favorite B&M inverts. I like the intensity of it, and I really appreciate the height and large inversions. Unfortunately, my two back row rides on it were two of the most painful rides I've had on a roller coaster. For some reason, I was beaten up all over on both of these rides. All my other rides in the front and towards the middle of the trains were completely smooth. Mid-course break-runs on many coasters don't bother me, and on others they do. The mid-course break-run on Alpengeist was one that did bother me a bit -- I didn't care for the way it interrupted the intensity. Still, Alpengeist is certainly a very good coaster. I know that you're not a fan of the Sky Rocket II models, and I can understand how this could be for anyone who doesn't enjoy them. Personally, I like them. They're not a model that I go wild over, but I think they're a lot of fun -- and I enjoyed Tempesto (as I did Tigris). Busch Gardens is such a beautiful park, with some of the more friendly employees I've encountered at a theme park.

I’ll be checking out BGW later this year. Pantheon is far and away my most anticipated coaster at this park, with Alpengeist being a close second

Cool seeing TheRyGuy show up in your video. Awesome coaster channel

Great video! DarKoaster looked fun! Pantheon does look really underrated!

Ok, top three Griffon, Pantheon, and alpengeist (or however you spell it) The cam pictures went crazy 😂

"Can I be in your video?" That'd totally be me if I were on the same train as you haha.

Marc’s rankings start at “amazing” and go up from there. Kind of refreshing to hear something good about virtually every ride

Thank you! I try to find the good in every coaster, even if it’s not always my favorite. Glad you appreciate the positivity 😄

The swing launch of pantheon is packed with chaotic ejector i didn’t expect. It’s in my top 20 for sure and I’m gonna be reaching 125 in the next month when I finally ride iron gwazi and the surf coaster at seaworld

Glad you guys had an awesome time here! That's cool, I did KD & BGW (1st visits) as well on 8/7 & 8/8. The Pantheon spike blew me away, Griffon was awesome, Verbolton & Dk surprised me how good they were, and Alpengeist was intense but a bit too rough for me. I should've ridden it towards the front though.

Most Underrated Coaster Is Kraken Blue Streak Cobras Curse Powder Keg Or Great American Scream Machine (SFOG)

Just went here for the first time (second kinda because I went during Christmas but no rides were open) three weeks ago and it was great every thing was insanely fun loved all of it

Great video! I visited this park for the first time a few days ago and got to ride everything except Alpengeist which was closed. My rankings would be: 1. Pantheon 2. Verbolten 3. Apollo’s Chariot 4. DarKoaster 5. Griffon 6. Loch Ness 7. Tempesto 8. InvadR

Beautiful Park

21:19 because it has otsr (over the shoulder restraints)

Rode Toutatis days ago and loved it, I'm pretty surprised that you prefer the Pantheon's layout, I really should ride this coaster one day

No Apollo's Chariot slander allowed 😡 hahaha I love that coaster

I was at Kings Dominion's national roller coaster day event. If only I knew you were there a day before.

Nice video. I would love another video with your ranking of roller coasters after the last Europe trip. It would be great to know if there have been any changes from your previous top. Pantheon looks really good.

You too Blake! Pantheon rocks 🙌🏻

I just went on it for the first time last week (7 times) and i said the same thing. Its gotta be on peoples top 10 and most dont have it up there. I'd still say Galeforce is more underrated cause that gets absolutely zero buzz but for a major park, Pantheon probably takes the cake

Sadly Pantheon wasn’t open when I went here, but the park was so outstanding that I didn’t feel like I missed out and felt fulfilled when I left.

I’m glad you still felt that way about the park! Pantheon being closed is a bummer, but even if it were down for us, i’m sure we would’ve had a similarly great visit to Busch Gardens 🙌🏻

DarKoaster is very fun. I hope that they treat it like a slowly evolving Halloween haunt and just add a few new effects each year to keep it interesting. It'd make it a must ride year after year.

Alpengeist is the i305 of inverts. It's in a different league altogether really.

Yo bro I just got to experience (The Boss) for the first time AND ITS AWESOME also the screaming eagle has a lot of airtime in the front row

Most Underrated Coaster Is Kraken Imo

18:00 Damn

I love BGW so much. Pantheon is a top 5 coaster I’ve ever been on, the park is stunning & it has an extremely well rounded lineup

I rode Alpengeist 28 times in 2 days.

I agree that this is the most underrated (at least of the high tier coasters. I personally have an over the top love of Cobra's Curse but I realize that is my own thing.) But everyone seems to think Pantheon is a disappointment and that it doesn't deliver like it should. I will agree that the presentation of Pantheon is disappointing but the ride itself is phenomenal. I personally prefer it over its BGT counterpart Iron Gwazi. I think it's the third best Intamin steel coaster in the USA after Skyrush and Velocicoaster.

Is Alpengeist more intense than Monster at Walygator?

@CoasterDash

It’s considerably more intense than Raptor, so i’d assume it is!

Thanks for the support! We will not be visiting Six Flags America on this trip, but there is a vlog from that park already up on the channel :)

Pantheon doesn’t feel like a blitz to me. Yes, it’s a good ride, but the elements are all taken really slow and it lacks the rapidfire pacing that all great blitzes have.

Bush gardens lol imo....I call it that

Gale Force isn't at BGW

I rode darkoaster and it was boring and not even close to eorth the wait.

Its not «too-taw-tis », more like « too-tah-tis » 😄
