Welcome to Airtime Thrills, my name's Chris and I'm a non-recovering coaster addict. I love to rank things up, give some hot takes on parks and coasters, and film vlogs. I also have background in History so you will see some historical and research videos on here as well. I hope you'll find this channel informative, provocative, and funny. And above all, to deliver a quality product that will keep you coming back for more. My home park is Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California and I've traveled all over the US and Canada to see everything North America has to offer.
Be sure to check out my coaster photography on Instagram @airtimethrills and my copyright-free off ride channel: youtube.com/@airtimethrillsrawfootage9558

Thank you all for helping me with my Beautiful Parks video, I hope you enjoyed it, and now it's time to go back to you for another poll - this time I want you to give me your LEAST favorite Arrow coaster you've ever ridden. Please keep it to the coasters you've been on and try to keep it to just the worst on your list, that video will come out in June.

Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas for the Worst Vekomas video! I hope you enjoyed it, but now it's time to go back to you for the next one. This is not going to be a negative video though, this time I want you to tell me what you believe is the world's most BEAUTIFUL park. You don't have to have been there to vote for it, just give me the ONE park you believe to be the most beautiful worldwide. I'll tally up the votes and release the results in a video coming up in May.

Thank you all again for the MASSIVE response to the Worst Woodies post and making that video possible, and now it's time to open up this forum to you once again. I want you to give me the WORST Vekoma coaster you've been on. Try to keep it to the one single worst one you've experienced, drop it down below, I'll tally up your responses and see who wins on a video coming out in April. And as usual, I'll put your name on the screen when your entry comes up.

Hey everyone, thanks for submitting all your responses for my "Worst Parks" video, and now it's time to go back to you all to find out the WORST wooden coasters you've ever ridden. I want you to give me up to 5 wooden coasters you would consider God awful, past or present, if you want to explain why that's fine but in general I think it'll be a combination of roughness + boredom, and I'll compile your responses and rank them up, and put your name on the screen if your coaster(s) make the cut.

I had a video suggestion to rank the worst parks I've been to, but honestly aside from an obvious few, I have a hard time saying a park is bad at what it's supposed to be. So, this is where you all come in. I want to make this video based on your votes, so let me know what you consider the worst park or parks you've been to as well as a few words to explain why you feel that way. I'll compile your responses and rank them up based on who gets the most votes, and put your name on the screen if your park(s) make the cut.

Hey everyone, I know a lot of you are wondering about the Japan vlogs, and I have good news, this is officially Japan vlog week - Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, you'll get the whole trip in those 3 videos. If you're sick of the Japan content, stick with me one more week, this is the last of it, then I have 2 Halloween specials at the end of October, a mini-doc on the history of Six Flags America after the park closes for good (and yes the GPS does make an appearance), a fresh ranking of my top 30 parks, and then we start getting into my usual year-end stuff. For those of you who wanted me to do a Kings Dominion documentary for their 50th anniversary this year, I didn't have time for a full length one but I will be releasing a mini-doc on the park in December.
And as always if you want special access and bonus content and more interactive videos and a behind the scenes look into different aspects of what I do, check out my Patreon: www.patreon.com/AirtimeThrills

Thanks for all your support on the Bad Intamins video, so let's keep the ball rolling - post up your BAD B&Ms! Could be past or present, anywhere in the world, and it doesn't even have to just be one, just the B&Ms you've ridden that were no good, and I'll tally up the results and drop that video in the near future.

It's that time of year again...time for BURNING QUESTIONS!
The last couple years I've made a video about the burning questions that WILL be answered in the coming year, and I want to get your ideas for 2025 so drop them in the comments here, I'll tally them up and rank them based on your votes.
Remember, this is only for questions that we will for sure have answers to in 2025, nothing further off in the future. Example: How will Falcon's Flight fare once Six Flags Qiddiya opens? What will Magic Mountain's first of its kind North America coaster be? Will Wrath of Rakshasa have the same weird rattle Iron Menace has? Stuff like that.

Hey everyone, my full Great Adventure documentary went live on Christmas, I know a lot of people were waiting for the whole thing to be compiled before checking it out. These documentaries also help carry the channel through the cold sad dark winter months so your support is greatly appreciated.

I've also chosen Busch Gardens Williamsburg as my next big project for 2025, celebrating their 50th anniversary. When I polled everyone a few months ago, BGW won over Kings Dominion bigtime. I'll see if I can do something like a mini doc for Kings Dominion but I won't have time to do 2 full length docs this year. On that note, if you know anyone who has a repository of old BGW pictures or videos I would love to know. I was able to get my hands on a nice collection for Kings Island, Astroworld, and Great Adventure and anything out there available to use would be great to have.
Anyway, Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year, I got my year in review video coming out Monday, my favorite days of 2024 and look ahead to 2025 on Jan 1, and a whole set of videos ready to go next month that you can check out now on my Patreon: www.patreon.com/AirtimeThrills

At the end of each year I usually run down every notable thing that happened in the industry over the past year, but this year I'm thinking about doing a top 10 with honorable mentions, kind of like my "Events that changed the industry" series. Therefore, I want your input on the stories you would like to see on that list. Comment below for the best or the top few stories you think were the biggest of the year and/or the stories you'd like to see covered in the video, and I'll rank them up.
