It was on Batman the Ride, and this one dude next to me tells me when were going up the lift that he gets sick sometimes on coasters(he tells me when its too late!) So we are on the first drop, its all good so far and he is screaming, the first loop, he stops screaming(then i start to worry). Then as were going through a couple of the last turns(you guessed it) he starts throwin up, and (you guessed again) half of it hit me. Thats my worst expierience on ANY coaster.

On a day with strong lake winds on Demon. Going through the corkscrews, I got hit by a giant water drop from the waterfall in the eye. My eye was open at the time and it swelled up for about an hour. I couldn't really see anything out of it for 30 min. But after riding AE, I compleatly forgot about it.

First and second rides on Viper for the 2002 season. I sat in 1:3, my favorite seat both times. I got less air than I did on Mean Streak last month! (That means none.) I mean, the Eagle had air that rivaled Viper when it was its normal self on those early days in 2002. But, by June, the ride was back to itself.Otherwise, my worst experience was in 1991 on Eagle. The drop just didn't end! The ride just didn't end! It was too long and high and loud! Well, I was only 5 or 6 at the time...

I have two horrible ride experiences. My first one was the summer of 2001 on the Racer at PKI. From the second we left the lift, it was non-stop jack hammering roughness all the way to the final brakes. I had the sharpest pain in my back, and had no desire to ride it again!My second was the summer of 2002 on Shockwave. Now, I'm only 5'6'' tall, but I have very broad shoulders. When the ride op was checking restraints, she pushed the OTSR down two more clicks! I was in pain before we even left the station, as the OTSR had me hunched over. Let me tell you, that was definately the most painful coaster ride ever.

I have two.One was last year during Last Blast on Raging Bull. I had heavy coats and clothes on and the ride-op kept stapling me.The other was on Splash Water Falls this year. Again the ride-op was stapling me. I was like what are you doing? then he just looked at me confused. I was about to hit him I was so mad.

I don't know if she was stapling, all I remember is she was working (helping out) on Bull at Last Blast... She was wearing a big black overcoat type thing.

My worst experience happens to be on one of my favorite rides. I was on Shockwave during Fright Fest 98 and waitied for about an hour and a half in a downpour. They only had one train running! Anyway, I'm getting all annoyed in the cold rain and just wanting to get on the ride. Well, as soon as the train left the station, the rain poured harder. Okay, let me tell you. . . When it rains while you are on the ShockWave, it feels like bullets are being shot at your face. It was so intense. As soon as the train pulled back into the station they closed the ride.

Never had a really bad experience on a coaster. Once on Viper durring late May when its full of school trips I was on Viper two rows behind some kids having a spit fight. That was fun.The only time I went on Power Dive I guess they lost power halfway through the ride because it took forver for us to coast and stop. Then they couldn't get the restraints up. I was next to some crying 9 year old girl and her falther was screeming at the ops to at least get her out. They were able to move that big bar up enough for her to get out. I was very thankful for that because it was tight as hell on me as well. We were probably there about 10 to 15 minutes before they got us out. No exit passes.

Oh man! Being stuck in Power Dive would have to be the worst thing ever... Those restraints came down so tight!

I have had three bad experiences at GA. Once was when i was on viper, i got the biggest charlie horse ever in my thigh, and it hurt for a couple of hours after ward. Then 2 years ago i was on roaring rapids with my friend and brother, my friend was right next to me and it was jerking us around and my hand hit the seat belt thing and it came undone. We had to struggle to get it back on. And on AE when we were going into the helix and all these sparks suddenly started to fly up at us, we were in the back seat, and it started to make a weird grinding noise. Other than that nothing serious.

Sure you did. Thats why you can't type, brain damage from being on that train. But of course, that isn't possible, as you were on the "Deamon." Last time I checked, thats something used in *nix computer systems. Troll.

I got stuck in a storm on the brakerun on the Demon, but I liked it, so I guess I haven't had a bad experience yet.

I was on Shockwave when they stated on the loud speaker a tornado watch was in effect. The skies were green. After we got off it started pouring. It was the closest thing tp a bad experience on a GaM ride for me.

Keep your head against the headrest and arms and feet in side the train at all times.
