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

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.

Hey everyone, after a LONG time holding out I decided to create a Patreon. For $5 a month you will have access to videos before they are officially released, get a verbal shoutout on the first video I work on after joining, be listed in my outro for videos made in the duration of your membership, and participate in quarterly member-only Q&A videos I'll post up on there.
If that is something you're interested in, the link is down below. I just uploaded 4 videos dropping over the next 2 weeks that you can watch right now if you join, and I'll be dropping more in the days to come.
I have THIRTEEN videos scheduled for release in December so it's gonna be a crazy month.

Thanks for everyone who supported the Great Adventure documentary, if you were waiting til the end so you could watch all of them back to back to back to back to back, it's all out there now (playlist link is down below). I'll post the full-length doc in one video at the end of the year.
For next year we have Kings Dominion and Busch Gardens Williamsburg celebrating their 50th anniversary and I'm torn on which one to do. Kings Dominion follows a similar path as Kings Island which I covered in 2022, but I may be able to work with KDGoldenYears the way I worked with GreatAdventureHistory, I'll have to see how that goes. Busch Gardens Williamsburg would have a totally unique history to my documentary series but I'm not sure how easy it would be to get my hands on old material going back to the 70s and 80s. Let me know if there's anyone I should reach out to regarding historical footage or photos of either park.
I MAY end up doing both, but might have to choose one. Which one would you rather see?

Hey guys, as you may know I’ve parted ways with my Discord Server and the team managing it. However, they’ve committed themselves to maintaining what’s become one of the platforms largest roller coaster servers. As such, my former Airtime Thrills Discord has branched off into Adrenaline Nation, where they’ll be hosting news coverage, contests, and other discussion. It’s a great place to hang out with fellow enthusiasts, and you can join the community here. If you're part of the server now, nothing will change. I will still come on for some Q&A sessions like I have been doing, and hope that other YouTubers will do the same if the admins invite them on.
This decision has nothing to do with the server itself or the admins. It's just that too many people were coming to me with issues and conflicts thinking I had the ultimate authority, but the server is and always has been run by the admins. I thought it was time they owned it and take the community they've built over the last few years and run with it.

Hey everyone, I hope you're enjoying my usual December gauntlet of videos, but I'm looking forward to next month. Last year I asked everyone to give me some burning questions that will be or should be answered in this coming year, and featured them in a video. I would love to make the same video this year, so if you have any ideas, drop them here!
Example of a burning question for this upcoming year: If the Six Flags/Cedar Fair merger happens, what will season passes look like for 2025?
Thanks for all your support and another awesome year 🙌

Happy October everyone! I've got a stacked video schedule this month, some new countdowns, a new "Events by the year" episode, Buy or Sell Episode 10 coming this week assuming I get my voice back soon, a new vlog, a coaster review, a Halloween special, probably another quiz...
BUT...I want to point out my next By The Numbers video coming out Monday for Busch Gardens Tampa, not because the video is particularly amazing, but because it will mark the first video with my brand new intro. I created the current one on January 7, 2019 so it's been in use for almost 4 years, but it's time to move on. The song (Black Vulture) will not change but the visuals and effects will so I hope you all enjoy it.
