If you want to completely kill a great day of roller coaster riding then ride Psyclone at SFMM, 'nuff said.

Never ride it. Ever.

And if it hurt so bad why did you ride it 5 times?


It was still fun. haha. And the lines were really short.

I wish that I could ride Psyclone at SFMM and Son Of Beast. I'm curious on how rough they could be.

How are woodies that bad? Aren't steel coasters with OTSR worse, like Shockwave???

Zeus at Mt.Olympus, Talk about riding a jackhammer!! I have heard its better this year, but have yet to think about getting back on it. I just keep remembering the huge bruises on my knees from hitting the front of the car as we hopped along!

Zeus actually entertained me more than Hades this time around.
It's only rough through the last two turns.

Eagle Blue gets my vote.


Eagle Blue? Man you really must not have been on much at all to say that...Eagle is much smoother than most woodies...

Besides Little Dipper at Kiddieland, Viper and Eagle are the only woodies Ive been on. But that will change when I go to MTO and TFAP.

Son of Beast is the roughest coaster I've been on. Not to brag, but to support my point, I've been on over 200. I've never been on Psyclone at MM, but it really looks bad. Mean Streak really doesn't feel that rough, but its a pain machine compared to Eagle and Viper. GAm is lucky to have such smooth woodies.

I would agree that those steel coasters cause the most pain, but I consider that headbanging, not bumpy/rough.

My worse thus far would be

1)The Boss!!!!
2)Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain (this thing is OBNOXIOUS going backwards)
3)Mean Streak

Runners up would be Magnum and Racer (Red Side)

Has anyone else figured out the way to beat wooden coasters? You always have to sit in the front row of a car.

i haven't been on a lot of these mentioned but of what i've been on the Boss is the worst. yes i usually ride woodies toward the front to beat the bumpiness factor.
emo is a music genre, not a state of mind

I think I'm changing mine to a tie between T2 and Thunder Run at SFKK. Both of them felt like they had square wheels (T2 especially).
