What's the worst coaster you've ever been on?

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby ttd rox on September 9th, 2007, 3:34 pm
One of my first topics/threads I've ever started was what's your favorite coaster? Now I want to hear what is the worst coaster you've been on. Mine is a tie between Demon and Hades. They are both kinda fun but really rough! So tell me what coaster(s) do you hate?
Top 3 Steel Coasters: 1. The Incredible Hulk 2. Maverick 3. Dragon Challenge (Fireball)

Top 3 Wood Coasters: 1. The Beast 2. American Eagle (Red) 3. Hades

I think this thread hasnt been done for awhile now. Hades and Demon are both really smooth compared to a lot of coasters out there.

Worst coaster I've ever been on was Physclone at SFMM before it was demolished. And that was by a landslide. Would never even think about riding it again.

Every coaster at Cedar Point.
I finally retired the Sarah Palin signature because she is now 100% irrelevant.

Son of Beast sitting right over an axle. I think I have permanent back damage from it.

The Boss at Six Flags St. Louis (too rough)
Cedar Creek Mine Ride (too many left turns) and Magnum (hurt my legs bigtime!) at Cedar Point
Face/Off at Kings Island (just pure suckage!)

I also was pissed with Millennium Force after the big drop and Space Mountain for not having headrests (major neck cramps)

Well the reason why I thought those 2 are rough is because I havn't been to many parks.

hrmm, lets see

Absolute worst would be Gouderix at Parc Asterix, never been on a more violent and painful coaster.

Runner up would probably be Typhoon from Santas Village that was a real piece of work.

Dishonorable mentions would be...

Any Zamperla Volare but especially flying coaster at Elitch.
Manhattan Express at NYNY, partially due to the price paid for such a crappy ride.
Certain SLC's that run poorly (I like ones that run smoothly, though it depends on the day)
SOB when it ran the premier trains, haven't ridden with Gerstlauer's yet though.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073

T2 at Kentucky Kingdom... the back/forth jerking on that ride made me think my back was broken at one point.

Raven is just as smooth as Viper, and Voyage is still new so not too bad

Legend can be kinda rough, but it's still not too bad

yeah, HW coasters are pretty well maintained, I hear Voyage can get a bit shaky sometimes, but when I was there last all 3 coasters were running just fine.

^ You have to be either on drugs, a sissy or both to think that Thunder Run at SFKK is rough.

TR is probably one of the BEST coasters out there.

Wait a second...I thought this was the "worst coaster" category and not the "coaster most likely you are to get killed on" category.

Though, Afterburner might have to even lose out on that category now considering there is a really good chance Fun Spot will never open again. Granted, that seems to be the case every year, but apparently, things looked more dire going into this off-season than every before.

Okay, whens the last time you've been on it? Yea, its a fun ride, but it shakes you like you wouldnt believe. The helix after the camel backs??? oh, man that was terrible. Galvan, you need to not judge so fast, theres no way in hell i'm a "sissy" it IS a rough ride.

T2 was probably the roughest coaster I've been on, but if want a totally not fun uninteresting experience go ride Miner Mike at Haunted Trails. :-)

I would have to say Viper at SFGAdv. I rode it back in 2004, and when I got off, I asked myself "why did I ride that again?"

Why do things look dire? (I'm not familiar with this park)
