Totally agree! Makes the ride that much better, I mean it

This has to be one of the best theme park ranking videos I’ve seen. Not only is your list accurate, your descriptions of the coasters are so on point and will make viewers feel like they are riding them. I also like how you mentioned the good in the coasters that you ranked lower because six flags great America has such great roller coasters and it’s so hard to choose the best one.

My list is 1 Raging bull - only the back row gives good airtime 2 Goliath - that first section is one of my favorites in the world 3 Viper - there is no dull moment 4 Superman - it offers an amazing first drop and a great positive G moment 5 Max Force - the first launch is amazing but it’s very short 6 X flight - the near misses and first drop are great but the seat is bad 7 Batman - an all around intense ride but a bit uncomfortable 8 American Eagle - it offers an overall solid experience 9 Dark Knight - great theming and amazing airtime but too long of a line 10 Whizzer - as my first ride it’s just a classic 11 Demon the first part is great but the whiplash hurts for days 12 joker - the 4d layout makes me very uncomfortable and is overhyped 13 vertical velocity - the rides G’s are very overhyped and is too long of a line 14 Little Dipper - solid family coaster 15 sprocket rockets - solid family coaster

Batman - The ride has great loops with G forces on the first loop 3. Maxx Force - The ride is short the launch is not believable 2. Raging Bull - The first drop is so amazing and the loops after that are fun 1. Goliath - It has the scary impact and the loops and turns are insane

1. Raging Bull - First drop, airtime, length, and seats. Don't like brakes 2. Superman - I just like the flying part especially in the front seat, laying on back, and smooth. Too short 3. Goliath - First drop, snappy movements, and intensity. Seats are ok 4. Batman - Inversions, corkscrews, and inverted. 5. X Flight - Wing, near miss, and start. Too short 6. Maxx Force - Launch. Don't like big hill it slows down and the ride is way too short 7. Flash - Everything is good. I like normal roller coasters better though 8. Viper - Hills. Seats are very bad 9. Justice League - Good. Technically not a reollercoaster. 10. Gotham - Fast turns. 11. Joker - I like 4d. Not many spins. 12. American Eagle - Bad seats, very bumpy. 13. Demon - Seats hurt you head. Very rough and bumpy. Bad overall Went on everything at least once. Superman 3 times and raging bull twice. Did not ride whizzer because it was broken. Did not ride kid rides. Theming, age, and looks don't really matter to me as much as the overall ride.

America Eagle held the drop record from 1981 when it opened until 1988; the longest held in the coaster wars from 1978 until 2005 and the last wooden coaster to hold the drop record before metal took over in 1988.

I really enjoy the Batman appreciation since it seems so underrated. While I probably do have a ton of bias towards it for being what made me love rollercoasters. I always find it to be nothing too insane but it feels so satisfying and fun to go and even just going over that little water section makes it stand out. Although there are more intense rides here which deserve all the hype, I’ve found that I’ve always been more fond of Batman than any other ride and I hope it ages well as I continue to expand my horizons on rollercoasters.

American Eagle was closed off when I went recently, otherwise I would've loved to ride it. Raging Bull and Demon are both high on my list, the first for its long ride and "fake" drop and the second for its unmatched personality. I was super sad to see the eyes on Demon's tunnel removed but the multiple surprises on it are still so fun. Also, nothing beats listening to the theme song! Goliath is a rough beast (I have bruises to show for it) so I always know to prepare to be jostled around, but Viper is pretty rough as well! Both are intense and worth it (though Goliath's sometimes 3-4 hour lines I have done enough times). Great video!

I love the Great Adventure one! Always a must ride for me, can’t say the same for other rides

Growing up near Great America, it wasn't until about freshman year of highschool that i got over my fear of rollercoasters thanks to Raging Bull. As someone that wants the floater airtime the most, I have to say Raging Bull is probably my number one spot alongside Viper or American Eagle as my number 2.. but I still have to give Goliath another shot since only riding it one time. I'll always crave a ride on Batman for it's intesity and nostalgic experience.

Raging bull is the best coaster and the first big coaster I went on

Raging Bull is funner than Goliath… but Goliath is more intense. The drop on Goliath is even better than steel vengeance at cedar point… however SV is still over all a much better ride. Goliath is just too short. So I’d have to go with raging bull as my top ride there. It’s the perfect ride imo. The rest suck imo except American eagle. That’s my third favorite.. front seat is best. Ok viper kinda of good too. So that’s 4th. That’s it.. max force is not worth the wait. Cool launch, but disappoints the rest. Batman makes me feel sick all the time. Superman is ehhh… but why waste my time when I can get on raging bull over and over and not feel like I’m missing something. Superman has one of the slowest moving lines in the whole park.. it’s annoying. V2 makes me feel sick. Wicked twisted at cedar point was much better since it has a longer bottom trek.. so kinda gives rider bit of a retrieve. Never a fan of x flight. Gatekeeper way better. Joker is a joke, I rode it once maybe twice and won’t ride it again. Demon is just torture. F that ride. Whizzer for little kids. Dark knight is worth one ride as a novelty. Honestly, my visits usually consist of riding raging bull, Goliath, and American eagle over and over. Rest of ones I mentioned worth riding, only once.

after we went on demon, my friend said he needed a break so we should go on x flight💀

For me personally, X flight was a bit lackluster. Now I’m not picky with rides. I haven’t been on many. I’ll go on X flight, but I wouldn’t reride it more than once in a day. I would reride Superman. Also I absolutely LOVE Batman! Whenever I go in it, I always get sad how quickly it’s over. I will most definitely reride this. This plus raging Bull. I have yet to ride Goliath, V2, Viper, Demon, Joker, and Maxx Force. I don’t go very often. Maybe once every couple years. I didn’t go on viper or demon out of fear it would screw up my back cus I’ve had issues with it in the past. Goliath had a line way too long each time I’ve went and I’m guilty…I chickened out of V2 a couple of years ago. Joker was being fixed when I went last time and we just didn’t get to maxx force when I went last time. I went with my brother and sister. Aside from Little Dipper and whizzer which I probably went on as a kid with my dad, American Eagle was the first one I went on with friends. I was in 8th grade for the field trip and I remember it being pretty fast and bumpy but I liked it. Didn’t go on it last time tho cus scared of the bumpiness would ruin my back again.
