This may be the most unique coaster list I've ever seen on KZread

Ride to Happiness at 19 is … surprisingly low. My favourite coaster so far. Tarim by night is epic.

Yes i had the same thought, like...why? Considering that helix and taron made the top 10 and they are (in my opinion) way worse

As someone who's list of coasters are primarily from the USA, it's great to see such a well rounded list of coasters from around the globe. Great job with the video and happy travels!

Love seeing Helix ranked so highly. I rode it fir thr first time last year and it was flipping sick

This list extremely questionable but I love that you put steel dragon in there. It is probably the most underrated coaster I’ve ridden, as people write it off as the worst Giga and since it is made by Morgan and in Japan, but it is such a fun, forceful and smooth experience that holds up well to the Intamin and B&M gigas. Great to see someone who appreciates it as much as I do

I'm glad that there are more people who celebrate Steel Dragon 2000 like this. For me, it's one of the most underrated hypercoasters. The thing is a real airtime monster and looks simply gigantic with all the steel that was installed there for earthquake safety. And then there's Hakugei in Nagashima Spa Land, the best RMC I've ridden so far. The layout in blue and white looks fantastic, especially when you can admire it from the Ferris wheel. Hyperion and Zadra at Energylandia in Poland are also the best roller coasters in Europe for me, although Taron at Phantasialand is also great. Your channel is great and I always look forward to new videos from you.

So happy to see Hyperion ranked so well!

Nice list. Ending the video with the second best hybrid at Cedar Point lol

I thought you might have third.

Thanks for the awesome video! I'm always excited to see one of your projects show up on my queue. Intimidator 305 has been my second favorite coaster for years. I always say it's the king of coasters. Your taste lines up with mine so closely that I'm desperate to get out of the states and try your other favorites.

This may depend on body sizes, but I've always found intamin air superior to RMC air. The airtime on intamins provide more vigorous and dynamic air that grows on you every ride. On RMCs, I feel like i'm being tossed up in one static position. The air is not full of energy and torsion, nor combined with laterals, but is still fantastic.

Ah, a fellow Steel Dragon appreciator. Truly a man of refined taste.

Oh my god this list is amazing! Really different from my own but loved hearing your thoughts and perspectives! Although I'm super jealous about Hakugai. I know for a fact it would be my number one too.

Love this list with all the variety

Taron at night in Wintertraum is one epic adrenaline rush. ❤️

Nice list! Surprised you didn't include a coaster from Six Flags Mexico or did it just drop out of your list completely? The only coaster I really did a double take on was the Beast. Everything else makes complete sense to me to be included in the Top 25 list especially when you are trying to get different type of coasters to be included. Glad to see the love for Toutatis. I was a big fan of it when I rode it this past summer. Also I don't have Taron quite as high as you do put it is in my Top 15. Very underrated coaster. Again nice list!

Medusa is a fantastic coaster, and it almost made the list. It's been quite a long time since I rode it though so my memory of it isn't as fresh, and there were already a few great RMCs on the list.

The recent epic night rides I had really boosted Taron up the list.

This may just be one of the most well-travelled coaster lists I’ve ever seen. So cool to see how coasters across the world line up with one another.

Love your content David keep up the great work.

Interesting take, first one I have seen without SteeVe on it.

GREAT VIDEO! I love your descriptions of each, and I love the originality of the picks and their order. There’s a lot here that feels congruent to my tastes, such as the love for Taron and Shambhala, coasters that my younger compatriots tend to denigrate or ignore, respectively. I’m also pleased to see the woodies that made your list (though I take it you’re not a big fan of Voyage - can’t remember if I’ve asked you about that before?). Of course, you include some coasters that would not come close to my top 25, but there’s enough here for me to feel a real affinity - and to make me think all the more that I must get on Hakugei!

It's a great ride, although a bit dated compared to more modern coasters. Last time I rode it the airtime in the first half of the ride felt a bit weak compared to other intamins

Damn what a list, and like how its clearly personal to you. Have you done Voyage? its an incredible coaster to not make top 25 if so. Hakugei looks superb, like Wildfire with abit of iGwazi.

Shambhala 6. Taron 7. Fury 325 8. El toro 9. Black mamba 10. Skyrush 11. Magnum xl200 Almost feels like a blessing in disguise that I’ve got so many awesome coasters to go and visit.

Nice diverse list of coasters. Surprised to see Taron so high compared to other lists around. Still a number one ride for me, with the trim brake being the only downside of the ride. How would you rank the other highlight of the park f.l.y. though?

@RollercoasterDavid

I can understand your criticisms. f.l.y. can be a really deceptive coaster. From the ground, it seems to be running quite slow through some elements, but it pulls some nasty g's at some points. Kept me from marathoning it as well. The airtime moments it has are great though and really caught me off guard. Overall, Taron is definitely still the highlight of the park and haven't experienced anything like it yet!

Have you ridden Eejeniaka? Also I agree with your opinion on i305, its my number 1, even after riding Steel Vengeance.

I've been to Fuji q twice, bit was spited by eejanaika on both occasions! I did get a front seat ride on the original dodonpa though, with the amazing top hat.

Really awesome list, Iron Gwazi is my personal number 1, but Hakugei is definitely in my top 5 'want to ride' nd I've been looking for an excuse to get back to Japan 😉 Biggest surprise for me is Hyoerion! The airtime on that first hill is unlike anything else, but I just wish it was a bit longer overall. The overbanks did little for me as well

Wow controversial indeed.. how tastes could differ. Taron isn't even in my top 5 and I haven't even ridden half of Europe.. Same with Kondaa. Extreeemely overrated imo. I love Hyperion so up high since it is my current number 2 as well over the likes of Rth and Untamed (That ones close tho). But my number 1.. Zadra is up easy 30% over Hyperion. It's just insane how clear Zadra is. I dont know.. I just love the pacing, sense of speed, crazy airtime, zero g roll, outer bank turn, double down.. I dont see anything quite beating it. It for me is coaster perfection.

Did your favourite coaster make the list? Which one of these would you most like to ride?

Do you really think Nemesis is better than Mamba, Oziris, and Icon?

You made clear at the beginning that your list was formed with an eye to variety and the best in various categories, etc. But I still think a lot of enthusiasts will be stunned by the complete absence of a certain coaster in Ohio! 😂. I’m fine with it myself.

All kidding aside at the end of the day, Steel Vengeance really is a top 25 coaster and a strong case could be made that you leave out the sister coaster in Florida over it. He did put Zadra and Iron Gwazi on the list. So he did have 2 hyper hybrids.

@@alantrotter2077 The first half of steel vengeance is great, but for me, it's ruined by the second half. The moments of airtime on it are just too brief and you have to ride it defensively as you're jackhammered into the lap bar.
