The results are in! The AmusementInsider poll for the Most Anticipated Roller Coasters of 2025 has officially wrapped up, with more than 2,500 passionate thrill-seekers casting their votes. These five rides stood out as the most exciting and highly anticipated coasters set to debut in 2025. With innovations ranging from record-breaking ride hardware to brand-new coaster concepts, these projects are shaping up to deliver some groundbreaking experiences.
5. YoY – Walibi Holland, The Netherlands
Rounding out the top five is YoY at Walibi Holland, a creation from Rocky Mountain Construction (RMC) of Idaho, USA. As the world’s first dueling ‘Raptor’ coaster, YoY will feature two parallel single-rail tracks designed for high-speed racing action. With RMC’s signature blend of aggressive airtime, rapid-fire transitions, and dynamic inversions on the green side, the dueling element will add an entirely new layer of excitement. Riders will feel the rush of passing within inches of another train. Walibi Holland is no stranger to extreme rides, and YoY is shaping up to be one of the park’s best additions yet. The park will now have 3(!) RMC-manufactured tracks.
4. Helios – Fantasiana, Austria
European coaster fans also have Helios at Fantasiana in Austria to look forward to, which secured the fourth spot in our poll. Fantasiana, located in Austria, may not be Europe’s biggest park, but it is a beautiful one. As only the second-ever Stryker Coaster from Mack Rides, Helios will showcase the manufacturer’s evolving capabilities with this relatively new ride type, this one designed to deliver a relentless-yet-compact thrill ride. I’m super happy for the team over at Fantasiana, they really deserve this awesome coaster in their unique and well-loved park.
With that fourth-place finish, Helios is the most anticipated coaster in Europe for 2025 with a 52.2% to 48.8% vote spread between the two.
3. AlpenFury – Canada’s Wonderland, Vaughan, ON
Taking third place is AlpenFury, an ambitious new launch coaster coming to Canada’s Wonderland. Manufactured by Premier Rides, AlpenFury is one of the larger and faster coasters the company has ever produced. Set against a Wonder Mountain, the ride will feature multiple launches, daring inversions, and high-speed maneuvers.
