Have you ever watched a roller coaster video and wondered what on earth people are talking about? From airtime to LSMs, RMCs to SBNOs, the coaster world has a language of its own.
In this video, I break down the most common theme park terms, manufacturers, ride types, elements, and technical jargon so you can finally understand what the coaster nerds are on about.
We’ll cover:
🎢 Different coaster types (floorless, invert, wing, hyper, giga, etc.)
🌀 Ride elements (barrel rolls, cobra rolls, zero-G stalls, top hats…)
🏗️ Manufacturers (B&M, Intamin, RMC, Vekoma, and more)
⚡ Technical bits (LSM launches, block sections, restraints, trims…)
💬 Enthusiast slang (airtime, cred, SBNO, GP, POV, and more!)
By the end, you’ll be fluent in coaster jargon — and maybe even be able to correct your mates in the queue line 😉
0:00 - Intro
0:14 - Ride Types
6:26 - Ride Elements
13:10 - Ride Manufacturers
20:32 - Ride Parts
