Problematic Roller Coasters

In this video, I describe my thoughts on Mr Freeze Reverse Blast, a launching shuttle roller coaster located at Six Flags Over Texas! (and also Six Flags St. Louis) I also discuss a critical design flaw of the ride that I have always found fascinating! Hope you enjoy!

Batman & Robin: The Chiller was an iconic roller coaster when it operated at Six Flags Great Adventure from 1997 to 2007. However the ride was plagued with issues which I discuss in this video. Let me know if you ever got the chance to experience The Chiller!

Top Thrill Dragster opened in 2003 as the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster. The ride stands 420 ft tall, features a 400 ft vertical drop, and accelerates to a speed of 120 mph in just 3.8 seconds. While the ride is no longer the world's tallest or fastest roller coaster, it is certainly still an extremely impressive and complex coaster! In this video, I give my full review of the ride and go over many misunderstood concepts with the ride, including empty train operations verse full train operations and 5 vs 6 train operations. I hope you enjoy!

In this video, I give my review and a deep technical analysis of Kingda Ka, the tallest roller coaster in the world! Kingda Ka opened in 2005 as the world's tallest and fastest roller coaster and also happens to be one of the most complex coasters out there!

Intamin Prefabricated Wooden Roller Coasters were a dominate force during the 2000's. This technological break through resulted in some of the best roller coasters on the planet! However, this ride model seemed to suddenly stop selling? Why is that? Let's take a look!!

Magnum XL-200 is an absolute CLASSIC and has operated at the Cedar Point Amusement Park since May of 1989. The ride opened as the world's first hyper roller coaster which is a coaster that stands over 200 feet (61 meters) tall. In this video, I discuss my thoughts on the ride as well as an in depth dive at the technical and operational aspects of Magnum!

Maverick is one of the most unique roller coasters at the Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio! The ride opened in 2007 and has delivered thrills to millions of riders with its snappy transitions and fast pacing. In this video, I present my thoughts on the ride as well as an in-depth look at how the ride operates! I hope you enjoy!

Intimidator 305 is one of the most visually impressive roller coasters out there. Not only that, but the ride delivers an unrivaled intense experience that many roller coaster enthusiasts absolutely adore. But not all people are fans of this roller coaster, and I actually think from a business perspective, this ride was a flop.

As wild as this ride is for the wilderness, the way it operates is even wilder!! Big Thunder Mountain Railroad's operations blow my mind and maybe it will blow yours too! This video mainly applies to the version of Big Thunder Mountain that operates at the Disney World Magic Kingdom Park, but comment down below if you're familiar with the California, Tokyo, and Paris versions!

Superman Ultimate Flight may not be the most thrilling roller coaster, but the way the ride works is insane! B&M flying roller coasters are quite complicated technical beasts and this video demonstrates just how complex they are! Thank you Shawn for making this video possible!

The Bat was a jaw dropping attraction when it first opened at Kings Island in 1981! While not technically the world's first suspended roller coaster, most had never seen or heard of such a thing! But the prototype attraction built by Arrow Dynamics would end up being one of the worst designed roller coasters in history.

Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure quickly gained a reputation as being one of the most unreliable roller coasters in the world after a rocky opening in June of 2019. The ride combines some of the most daring elements of a theme park attraction into a single experience.

Son of Beast opened in 2000 as the world's tallest, fastest, and only looping wooden roller coaster. It quickly became known for its rough experience and sent 27 riders to the hospital in 2006. In 2009, it would close for good. What exactly went wrong with this hyper wooden roller coaster?
