Apparently Sansei's archives show that Fuji Q Highland's Giant Coaster was actually 25 meters tall instead of 40. Apparently the 40 meters stat came from the altitude instead of the height. This came from a Parkvault article that came out shortly after my video did. The information in this video was based on what information was publically available at the time.

@@imverypoorlmao8068 Goliath is pretty high (in my opinion, i rode it and it felt like i was going up the chainlift forever) but it was still far from setting a record. Goliath came out Feb 11, 2000, and it's 255 ft, while Millennium Force was 310 ft (if you want to count Superman, then thats 415 ft tall, but Goliath is complete circuit) which is a 55 foot difference. Wasn't gonna set any height records, but still high enough if you don't want to ride Millennium Force and Superman. Top Thrill Dragster and Kingda Ka are very high; a good majority of people who want to ride a "really high" coaster won't want to ride those, I'd assume

You'd love it but only if you can afford the express line pass. Otherwise, the lanes are so long that its not worth it imo. It is the best amusement park ive ever been to but you absolutely need express lane pass. Top Thrill Dragster while technically being shorter and slower than Kingda Ka, was much more intimidating imo given its theme, music and whole dragster start up. It is really a one of a kind coaster experience that you cannot imagine until you try it yourself. The only bad part is that it ends in like 15 seconds lol... But those moments waiting up until those 15 seconds are anxiety enducing. Kingda Ka felt was like a huge blast into into space but its longer track, slower acceleration and lack of an intimidating theme made it feel null.

Wonderfully researched video 👍🏼 the first drop on Shockwave was fantastic💙 Vortex had great airtime, and Magnum was very intimidating! Superman Escape From Krypton is still in my top 20 coasters based on just the sheer speed of that backwards launch! Millennium Force blew my socks off 🧦 when I rode it for the first time! 🤯😅 Kingda Ka is my favorite coaster of all time because I can’t get enough of the crazy intense launch into the sky for what feels like forever!

Love your channel man. I'm a coaster lover myself. I was born in Santa Cruz so I grew up riding the giant dipper. I was thinking, if you haven't done it yet. Maybe try the top 10 highest ridership coasters, the top 10 worst coast break downs/accidents, top 10 worst designs, or top 10 oldest coasters in operation.

Hey, great video as always! I bet I'm not the only one of your fans from continental Europe, is there any chance you could include stats in meters (height, length) and kilometers per hour (speed) in your videos? Right now I have to stop the video, go to rcdb and check these stats myself, and it would be far more comfortable to just have it next to feet and miles directly in the video :D Thanks in advance and keep up the great work!

@@ThemeParkCrazy Correct. However, Desperado did outdo PMBO in equalling Steel Phantom's drop record (225ft), so could be considered the Real co-tallest full circuit at that point. Also, important we don't forget Goliath @ SFMM (255ft drop) surpassing Fujiyama (230) three months before opening of MF. Honorary Record Holders. Btw..... OUTSTANDING effort TPC :)

Can you do a video on the Giant Dipper in Santa Cruz, California? It's a very old historic wooden roller coaster made in the early 1900s that still runs today. It's had a few fatalities over the decades including a 15-year-old boy who randomly stood up on it and got crushed, some people claim it's haunted. I think it would make a very interesting video plot, I haven't seen any roller coaster channels talk about it yet.
