So fab how this video turned out thanks so much for inviting me on! ☺️

The biggest risk ever made in the theme park industry is adding a horror theme to family coasters. A L T O N T O W E R S

My daughter(10yr old), niece (13), brother and myself have never had any discomfort or bruises from steel vengence or twisted timbers. Rmc has awesome restraints!

Thanks for a fun video! Two things I heard were not right, though: - Son Of Beat´s loop was not located after the first drop, but midway through the ride, after a block-brake. - The "Cutback" on Drachenfire was not removed. Only one of the corksrcews (the one after the block) was and replaced by a straight decline. Oh, and a few more coasters that took it too far come to mind: - X at Magic Mountain: The trains were too heavy and numerous modifications were made. - Maverick: Barrel roll needed to be replaced before the ride even opened. - Crystal Beach Cyclone; It was such an intense coaster that a nurse was hired to be on duty on the station. - The first Looping Coaster(s) at Coney Island and pretty much all such rides that were built until the 1970s - Alpenflug: The very first suspended coaster that didn´t have banked track. This was built before The Bat, which had the same problems that put too much stress on the cars. - The Bat (see above)

Intimidator was nucking futs! I screamed on that coaster louder than I have in my life! I was had actually been sick on the day before riding it and had lost my voice. After Intimidator, I was back to normal. I guess the screaming loosened something up.

Son of Beast was the world’s longest looping coaster when it opened. Once the loop was removed, the record went to the next one in line, which just happened to be California Screamin’ (Now known as Incredicoaster) at Disney California Adventure.

Great job! Thanks for the credits! There is one small correction though in regards to the Son of Beast accident. There are numerous sites that claim the train stopped suddenly when it hit the problematic area. This isn't actually the case as the train did make it back to the station on its own. The bad section of track provided a nasty pothole-type anomaly that injured riders as it went through it. Just imagine driving over a big pothole at nearly 80 mph. Ouch!

The reason Busch Gardens approached Arrow for Drachen Fire was because B&M was not confident enough to take on two projects at once. Busch Gardens originally wanted to add the same coaster to both Tampa and Williamsburg. B&M accepted the Tampa project but turned down the Williamsburg project.

Excellent video!! Really well produced and great to see Jordan too, well done guys 😊👍

RIP THAT GUYS HAT FROM THE TOWER OF TERROR 😂😂

Really enjoyed this, nice job Chris and Jordan! I don’t know how true this is and I doubt it’s the full truth but I remember hearing back in the early to mid 2000’s that Tussauds had some sort of agreement with B&M that Oblivion was to be the only Dive Coaster in Europe for a set number of years and that’s why we didn’t see many of them built for a fair while after, I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s complete bullsh*t though but could also explain why none of them were built after Oblivion for ages. That Tower of Terror coaster looks absolutely horrific, I’ve always thought that! Son of Beast looks like it was horrific too, that said the Beast looks pretty uninspiring and something I’m curious about getting on in June! Intimidator looks absolutely insane, it’s definitely on my to-do list. Is it bad I wish I’d been able to have a go on Steel Phantom? Arrow fanboyism at its best! Steel Vengeance should be an incredible coaster, well, it is I suppose but it’s absolutely ruined by the restraints for me. It should be my favourite coaster because the layout is incredible but the restraints ruined it for me. Drachen Fire was a sure sign that Arrow was falling behind, the documentary about Arrow Dynamics by ACE is really good and they talk about this coaster a lot, along with the competition from B&M. Arrow spent all of their resources on researching new ideas like their 4D coaster rather than pouring money into redesigning their track design and trains which in the long run would have probably saved them.

I could seriously listen to the two of you talk 24/7 365.. LOVE the accent.. And roller coasters!!

Everyone is talking about other stuff but what we should be talking about is that guy who lost his hat on tower of terror. RIP

The only break you get on Steel Vengeance is if the trims are on hard. Other than that however, it's nonstop intensity.

Son of Beast was the most painful coaster I've ever ridden, and I couldn't get off that coaster quick enough. The trains were horrible!

Steel Vengeance was the only coaster I have ever ridden that made me go "WTF just happened" when I got off. My first ride on it was at night and it's so fast and so disorientating you don't know which way is up at some points. Absolutely insane ride and I'm so happy it's at my home park!

My home park made the list! Phantoms Revenge has been great the last 18 years

I almost blacked out on Scorpion. A Looping kiddie coaster.😂🤣🤣

steel vengeance is one hell of a ride, the entire thing is an intense badass ride. bruised legs for sure

Here is some other coasters: Shockwave at sfot, which pulls 5.8 G's. The defunct Moonsault Scramble at Fuji-Q Highland, which pulls 6.2 G's and the first coaster to reach 200ft, what replaced it is Do-Dodonpa, the fastest accelerating coaster, which goes 0-172 kmh in 1.8 seconds. El Toro at sfgaf with crazy ejectoe airtime. And Fluch von Novgorod at Hansa Park, also with a crazy accelaration.

7:47 "Yet here in little britain, we're still waiting for one" *says this as footage of legoland windsor plays*

Always enjoy watching these.

This is a really good concept of what you're doing here, reminds me of when travel channel used to do stuff like this with roller coasters, but now I can just watch yours lol, great video, and keep up the good work!

in july another RMC hybrid coaster will be opened at Walibi Holland. 14 times airtime, a drop with 80 degrees from 36,5 meters to 2 meter with right after that a Microbunny... this will be awesome and also be the first Hybrid coaster in Europe!

i blacked out hard on the Intimidator but thats part of the thrill, after that the ride is very smooth and very fun

Good video, very informative. I enjoyed your guest contribution too.

1. What is your (you and Cupcakes & Coasters) home parks? 2. Another coaster that stands out (this one in a very odd way) is . . Desperado. Arrow Hyper Coaster at Buffalo Bill's Hotel & Casino. Odd in that . . . well it's a roller coaster in the middle of the desert (Primm, Nevada; near the Nevada-California state line)

I thoroughly enjoyed this Video! Thanks for including me. Ride On!

in walibi holland they are building the first rmc coaster in the country. its gonna be a awesome ride called untamed

Arrow Dynamics always looked like Coaster made in Rollercoaster Tycoon 3, no wonder they went under.

i305 still is one of the best coasters ever built. Glass smooth. Yes, it's intense. But surprisingly, re-ridable yet.

2:25 the bald guys hat comes off #RIP

This video was great Chris! What do you use to edit your editing is great!

I would have also put the smiler here cuz 14 inversions is nuts

I just see the smiler footage in the background and wait for its spot on the list.

This was really good, love this style of videos you've been doing! Loads of stuff in here I didn't know so thanks for all the info. :)

6.3 Gs?! If anyone wants a perspective on that, my father was a harrier pilot and he said that he had to train himself to withstand at least 6 Gs when flying. 6.3 Gs to the average person is, to put it mildly, FUCKING INSANE. Forget greying out, that’s the type of G force that makes you pass the fuck out.

I rode Steel Phantom, Drachen Fire, Son of Beast, and I'm glad those rides are gone. I got to ride Intimidator 305 after they put the trim brakes on and it was still pretty intense. Even after the modified turn the following year, I still gray out every time :)

Was pleasantly surprised to see Kennywood's Phantom featured. Loved all the rides though!

What do you expect of a coaster named after a NASCAR legend, lollipops and cotton candy?

loved this -well done mates , brilliant!! 👍👍😀

Maverick at Cedar Point would be on this list probably if it had the heartline roll. If you guys didn't know look it up. It originally had a 3rd inversion very small and forceful along the water. It was removed opening year due to too much intensity or stress on the trains.

INT305 is a beast, took me by surprise. Luckily park was empty that day and we rode about 4 times before moving on As for steel vengance....ho-lee-phuk, that thing was intense. Most coasters you can see what's coming and barce for it of get a feel for the tracks flow, not this coaster, it was pure intensity non stop from first drop to station brakes. 10/10. Best I've ever ridden and I've been on nearly 100 diff coasters in my life. With intimidator 305 in 2nd, maverick in 3rd, aplengeist 4th, flight of fear in 5th

Wildly cool, informative and entertaining. For me, TOO FAR is usually not far enough.😆

Son of Beast was a brutal roller coaster....I rode it when I was 16 and when the loop was still there.....I couldn't wait to get off! First and last time I ever rode it!

I loved Son of Beast rode it in its original configuration and thought it was great. Steel Vengeance is the best coaster I’ve ever ridden.

You are EXTREMELY underrated! 💞❤️

you werent allowed to take your phones or wallets into the queue, you had to locker them. they just added them. and idk about the bruises on the legs, havent heard anything about that

I just don’t understand why intimidador is in this video! It’s intense of course but its a GREAT coaster

9:40 dodonpa: I’m gonna end this mans whole career

3:48 the loop was actually toward the middle of the ride, after going round a giant slanted helix twice.

Top notch lads (and Jordan)!

What gets me, is why they dubbed Oblivon the first “vertical drop” coaster when it’s not actually the full 90 degrees haha

Underrated as hell Keep it up!

Another great colab video when is your next park video guys

Son of Beast deserved to get torn down... It wasn't any fun, just pain, only pain!

You've forgotten the Tilt-coaster from Vekoma.....:)...love the vlog!

Steel V. is simply amazing !

Steel Phantom had guaranteed grey out in the last row. I was in high school then and only rode it a few times a visit due to the neck pain! Phantoms revenge is amazing. Kennywood is my home park.

Nice list

I'm not surprised that Arrow made this list. If you guys wanted to add another Kings park roller coaster that went too far, that would be Kings Dominion, Anaconda by Arrow. Of course it doesn't look too intense, but it sure as heck hurts! I remember waking up the next morning and mom asking me how did you get that bruise on your face? I told her it was from Anaconda when it went through the first corkscrew my head was slammed off the restraint.

At 5 secs you can see Shawn and Alex from Theme park worldwide...😁👍 Anyone else notice????

Intimidator 305 kicked me in the ass. I didn't gray out, I fucking PASSED out both times I rode it, years apart. All the while my chest was borderline having a fucking heart attack. Kennywood is my home park, so I got very excited when I saw you touched up on Steel Phantom and Phantom's Revenge.

I rode steel vengeance in 2018 and did not get any bruses or marks on my leggs those restraints r ment to keep u in plus it might depend on how tight they pushed the restraints on themselves the ride is awesome and my all time number 1 favorite coaster long live cedar point hooraah

Have u done a feature on the infusion at Blackpool pleasure Beach Chris that's a bit rough

Don't worry, in July you can come over to us in the Netherlands for an rmc.

0:03 Isn't that Shawn, Alex and Charlotte from TPW in the background there?

I wonder if Drachenfire would’ve survived if Arrow didn’t try to copy B&M designs.

great vid

The airtime on steel vengeance 🤌👌

8:20 American english is my second language but it's really fluid, after repeating this part many times, please tell me I am not the only one who could understand

I'm soooooo hyped for Untamed😌

Great video, you two are quite an entertaining pair. Wow, those blue eyes are stunningly beautiful. By the way, Intimidator 305 does not feature a helix. Just because a track crosses over or under itself does not make it a helix. It has to be 360 degrees (a full circle or more) to be a helix. However, if it is between 200 to 359 degrees it can be considered a spiral or "Carousel Turn".

It's Michigan that's famous for it's five Great Lakes. Not Ohio.

fab video chris! I especially love the way you say tower of terror. TERR UV TERR

Love Coasters, hate rides that go in circles.

Surprised that the smiler wasn’t on there because I think it went to far

The ultimate took it even further than any of these!

Anyone remember Shockwave and Flashback at Six Flags Magic Mt? Brutal!!

I really hope Thorpe park gets an RMC as it is my home park

It must be the sadist in me, but I'd love to have tried out some of those that closed!! Also, defo need to get over and ride Steel Vengeance! 😍

The coaster that took it too far to me is definitely the Vekoma SLC. Inverted coasters can be fun, as seen in almost every B&M inverter, but Vekoma did a lot wrong with their SLCs. Bad tracks (licensed by Arrow), bad track design where they almost completely wiped out the most fun part of roller coasters (air time) and really bad over-the-shoulder restraints, where the padding is almost useless.

King's Island opened in 1972, not 1979.

I don’t remember any trim breaks on the first drop of I305... I’ve been there 3 times and ridden it each time and there were no trims on the first hill

9:40 Stealth is the same launch acceleration and speed

oblivion broke down when me and my dad were on it

anyone else notice TPWW in the wickerman que at the start of the video

What’s the roller coaster at the beginning of the video

Son of beast was actually really good especially with the loop it was a every bit as good as dimandback or banshee

1:56 like this comment if you saw that guy's hat come off

BIG BOB!!!

Shout out for Tower of Terror! I learned some new knowledge there! Though why wasn't time traveller on the list? I mean first dual launch spin coaster and first spinning coaster with 2 inversions #justsayin

These are awesome Coasters and they didn’t go to far

I like fun Coasters. Not one's that give me panic attacks or make me feel like I'm gonna die.

Son of beast hurt like a bitch. Rode it once, not a fan. I was finally tall enough to ride the steel phantom the year it closed. Definitely another coaster that just hurt to ride lol.

3 degrees?! Jesus let a coaster off 😂😂😅

Loved the son of beast I rode it in his heyday before it had its issues and yes it still had the loop! It was amazing even though it was sometimes extremely frightening and had his issues especially in later years of downtime!

Honestly I think steel Vengeance was great but the last 10-15 seconds really feels like overkill

Son of Beast lived up to the hype easily. It's the most infamous coaster in existence And where's Nemesis? Nemesis took coaster designs (and themes) to the extreme...and it's still one of the greatest rides on the planet 20 years later

I rode SV and my glasses came up from the bottom of my shirt, through my collar, and landed almost between the two cars and I almost lost it at the inversion under the lift hill.
