Even after all these years, it rubs me the wrong way that Formula Rossa is the fastest roller coaster on Earth when it literally immediately hits the brakes and scrubs the speed.

I love when this series brings attention to rides easily overlooked or forgotten. Superman in Australia actually looks like a crazy intense ride!

I love how on most of these lists you see "65 feet per second" and it's the top-ranked pacing. Here you see "75 feet per second" and it's just middle of the pack, and an absurd "96 feet per second" being *third*. Just a whole other breed of coaster.

I absolutely didn´t expect for Desert Race to rank that much higher than Rita considering they are so similar.

My first accelerator was Stealth last june and I was blown away by the force of the launch. Going on Kingda Ka next week (let's hope it's not broken). Cant wait!

The main difference between Stealth and Zaturn is that Stealth had it’s launch changed to have a faster acceleration than Zaturn. In fact, out of all these coasters, Stealth has the fastest acceleration stat.

I absolutely love storm runner and I think it needs more love as one of the best launch coasters I’ve ever been on

Rita is pretty underrated in my opinion, it is a bit bland but I have a soft spot for alton towers

nice vid! you did forget furius baco though, but this was still quite interesting to watch

Stealth's launch has been made faster to 82 in 1.8 seconds now!

I always wondered why, with launched shuttles first appearing in the late 1970s, it took so long for full-circuit launched coasters to really take off (no pun intended).

I think when it comes to launch roller coasters, S&S Are the undisputed kings of Launched coasters. They have held the world record for the fastest accelerating roller coaster for a long time and each and every single roller coaster that I've been on for them, particularly their launched ones,never fail to disappoint me for how intense they are. Take Maxx Force and dodo dompa for example. The launches on both of these roller coasters are truly out of this world. Max force does 0 to 80 mph in 1.755 seconds. The fastest accelerating car ever built does 0 to 60 mph in 1.7 seconds. And in the same time max force does it 20 mph faster in the same time. As for dodo dompa, that roller coaster is absolutely terrifying. It does 0 to 112 mph in 1.56 seconds. To give you an understanding of just how fast that is, if this were accelerating for the same period of time as a Bugatti Veyron does in 0 to 60, it would be doing 190 to 200 mph. The first time I went on that coaster, I had the absolute soul scared out of me. in my opinion, when it comes to launch roller coasters, S&S is the way to go and there is no one who can do it better. When it comes to fast roller coasters, top speed wise, intamin does it better.

Riding Kingda Ka was awesome! I’m definitely putting more of these parks with these coasters on the map

I love that theming for Superman Escape and how you're being rescued by the Man of Steel who is supposed to be pushing the train, and how they actually designed a Superman statue pushing the back of the train, very clever.

I like how Stealth never gets any appreciation even though it has one of the fastest launches in the world. I think* it had the fastest on that list

you should coasters before they were RMC'ed by the numbers like Mean Streak, Hurler, and Texas Giant.

I rode 4 of these in the month of August alone and I wish there were more! It's my favorite type of coaster

Having been on a few of these, nothing compares to Stealth. 0-80 in 1.9 seconds is just brutal. Need to do Do-dodonpa at some point...

Never knew I needed this video, great stuff as usual

I’ve been waiting so long for a vid like this. Thanks for sharing 👊

Great video Chris never thought of this really good creative series everytime you drop these is always 🔥🔥🔥always keep up the great work!

I love your by the numbers series! I’ve only been on one accelerator, dragster. That hydraulic launch is awesome!

5:35 that ride is no longer gone as playland at the PNE in Vancouver canada has bought it and it is being revamped by Zamperla into a LSM coaster

Great video! I enjoyed watching!

I was surprised by how many of these there are.

Update: Senzafiato is to be relocated to PNE Playland in Vancouver ( the Park with Coaster ) it will however be modified by zamperla to included LSM’s instead of a hydraulic launch, but same layout

Best serie on this channel🙌

Another episode of this fantastic series!

Well this confirms that Kanonen had a great layout but was really smal. Hope it opens soon, I rode it so many times when it was at Liseberg and had fun every time.

Buy or sell: Hershey park gets a b&m giga by 2032. Put this in the next buy or sell vid airtime please and thank you.

A video like this is never complete without the Pythagorean Theorem.

Very nice video. Thanks for posting and have a nice day too.

Storm runner is hands down my favorite intamin accelerator… … because it’s the only one I’ve ridden 😭😭😭

Great video Chris. Excited for a lot more of these videos. Any quizzes soon?

I think it is worth noting down that stealth does has the fastest acceleration out of them all

Really cool video, it’s interesting how Formula Rossa has so much more length than Kingda Ka given how their speeds our similar. I guess they are both gimmicks, but Formula Rossa is less so

Second favorite series on the channel I love it!

I think the main reason why dragster has better pacing is because it’s smaller so the launch needs less power and it clears the top hat faster

I have only ridden one of these which is Speedmonster, and I gotta say... WHAT A LAUNCH!

I clicked so fast that I watched the video before it even came out.

Stealth launches to its top speed using a relatively short launchtrack, which makes it especially intense! And I like RITA, strangely I feel it got better with age? Rode it this year and it had much more airtime and punch that I remembered!

Please do bnm floorless by the number I also like how you roast the viewer after the intro

Yay a new video

I think for a fifth category you could’ve done acceleration. Like Ft/sec. That would’ve been a pretty cool concept to see. Other than that, great vid as always

I need to do a by the numbers for my over the top planet coaster videos lol. Love this series.

I can’t get enough of this series being a coaster geek!

I love this series

I thought maybe you would do this video and now that you have, my top 3 are, 3. Storm Runner 2. Top Thrill Dragster 1. Kingda Ka. Of course, I've never been to Europe or Asia. That being said, I just don't think you can out do Kingda Ka in speed and height and Storm Runner has an amazing layout. I hope Cedarfair works with Intamin again one day as imagine having a Storm Runner style coaster twice as long and at King's Island. Whoa!

Only been on 2 of these ( Kingda Ka and Storm Runner). Storm Runner was amazing.

I’m surprised that there are more comments asking about Furius Baco than there are with Red Force. Despite having an LSM launch, I’d also count Red Force as an Accelerator coaster.

For rides like these I really think you should count prime ride time all the way up until you slow down to the trim speed at the end because braking at 50+ mph is part of the thrill for a lot of these, especially stealth, ka, not to mention stuff like full throttle

I am so happy that there is a accelerator 3 hours away from me now at lost island

What about Furious Baco at Port Adventura?

Ahh I want these rides made again ugh

Ahh great Matrix reference! Haha

A mild criticism, I think launched coasters should also have some consideration for acceleration rate, not just top speed. Stealth for example, has a lower top speed than Top Thrill Dragster, but a stronger launch.

u are the king

“By the tallest” I think it’s pretty obvious what that one is And the fact Rita is the tallest ride at Alton towers is just insane 💀

I’ve ridden both Formula Rossa and Stealth. Stealth’s acceleration is way more forceful and consistent than Formula Rossa’a. The Ferrari World coaster’s hydraulic launch actually starts off very lamely for the first split second, before powering forcefully to top speed. For sheer accelerative intensity Stealth wins imho

Did you consider including Furious Baco in this list? I can understand why you wouldn't, but other than where you sit on the track, I don't see any other reasons. I'll be riding it in a couple weeks during my honeymoon in Europe and I can't wait! Love these launches.

Hi, great video man, loved it, but i believe you forgot to put Red Force at Ferrariland, Port Aventura, i rode it 2 years and it was awesome, and it’s from intamin and i was very shocked when Red Force wasn’t there, but regardless, great video🥰

Stealth has one of the best accelerations though at 0-80mph in 1.8 secs

The world's S&s combo towers - by the numbers

Never been on a Intimin coaster. These coasters look really neat. Won't ride the tallest ones, too scary for me.

You know I love this series, but considering it’s Intamin Accelerator coasters you forgot to list the rate of acceleration. I think Stealth comes in at #1 on this list for that.

Ima say that this really EXCELLED as one of my favorites. Get it?

I would’ve included Furius Baco on the list

Surprised there is no Furius Baco on this list?!?!

VIDEO IDEA: Six Flags New England’s Coasters By The Numbers

I feel that Top Thrill Dragster should include a few more seconds of ride time, because even after you hit those first set of brakes at 17 seconds, you continue to haul butt for several more seconds. I barely even feel those first set of brakes. It's much further down the track before there's a notable loss of speed. Putting some mild brakes at 17 seconds ensured that its pacing would top this list, but I would still prefer to have a hill like Kingda Ka instead.

Figures Xcelerator is down for 5+ months for the ONE year I buy platinum Knott's passes Hopefully it reopens

Please make more!

In all fairness to RITA, Alton Towers can't build over the tree lines, so that's why there was no top hat. I love these videos.

is Furious Baco at PortAventura not considered an accelerator coaster? does having wing style cars make it a different model? I thought it would be included since it's an intamin hydraulic launched coaster. Either way, I love this series!

Please do this for Mack launch coasters.

Furius Baco is missing here.Great intense ride

I just now had the thought, after all these videos, that it would be nice to see the pacing listed in Miles Per Hour, but after all these videos done with feet per second, I guess that would feel kinda wrong.

Just to say, Desert Race is an extended clone of Rita!

You forgot another accelerator that is located in portaventura world, in spain, its name is furius baco and it goes from 0 to 135 km per hour in 3 seconds

Wow, seeing all of them listed in one place, I just realized that I have ridden half of them. Most of them were so un-noteworthy so that I basically forgot about them by now. Sure, Kinda Ka left an impression, as did Kanonen (the latter for being so slow that we were not sure if the train would make it all around the track). But that "oh yeah, that thing at Hershey Park.. oh yeah, Heide-Park has got one too" moment (as for a few others) shows that I am generally not too much of a fan of this coaster type.

by the way, Tusenfryd is finally announcing there new coaster 1. september

I didn’t even realize this was new

Rita isn't that bad and stelth gets to 80mp in under 2 seconds it's an amazing ride.

what about furious baco? that has a hydraulic launch lol edit: also xcellerator=best launch in America. I really dont think the other powerful launches in the us can beat it. though the only other contender I have ridden is powder keg.

Do the arrow suspended coasters by the numbers.

What about Furius Baco? RCDB doesn't classify it as an accelerator but it does have the same hydraulic launch like all of the others

When are you getting back to Hersheypark? I think you need to try everything again. Also will you talk about wildcat?

I'm surprised but the disparity between Rita & Desert Race as they're essentially mirrored clones.

Storm Runners lauch is only to 72 mph. The drop out of the top hat is where it hits it top speed of 75mph

Stealth is great fun. Rita gives me the worst headache.

I think #7 is being relocated and retrofitted with an lsm launch

Okay tell me what you think about this. Since Cedar Point (my home park) is moving the Matterhorn and scrambler to where the pavilion is going to be at, that leaves empty land next to the Corkscrew. With Corkscrew declining I’m popularity, becoming very rough, and one of the worst rides in the park, do you think they would take it down and put an RMC Raptor single rail coaster in its place for all those attractions? They can still make it go over the midway like how Corkscrew is. I think that is very logical to do in my opinion. I know that Corkscrew is a spectacle to look at and trust me, I love seeing it running, but everyone knows the ride sucks and it’s not going to be as enjoyable as it was for kids to be prepared for the bigger rides since it’s so rough. Now that they are adding a wild mouse, that’s THREE coasters kids can ride before they start riding the big ones. This is just my opinion on it, you might’ve already said something like this, but I’m not sure so I’m commenting it.

i think you forgot Furius Baco in PortAventura!

You should do Disneyland coasters by the number

just btw never change your intro

Any particular reason coaster logos weren't used like normal (other than there were probably 3-4 that didn't have one)?

So what model is Red Force? I assumed it was an accelerator, too, but I don’t see it listed on rcdb.

Now I know another reason why I prefer TTD over KK besides the Operations at G.A.

Even though it’s a month away, I already need to know what’s the next park/model for this series?

Question:would you count red force an accelerator or a blitz’s. If so where would it rank
