Worst Coaster Ever?

[RollingRunner]

^ Agreed. How can you NOT like a roller coaster?

[triggernel]

^ & ^^ Go ride Mean Streak, or SOB, and then get back to us

3 worst coasters I've ridden Hurler at Carowinds, Mind Eraser at SFA, and The Rattler at SFFT

[Midgetman82]

The worst coaster I've ever been on was the Great American Scream Machine in Six Flags Over Georgia. That ride was so rough, it kept slapping my back and behind my head.

[jynx242]

^^ Hurler was better this year. Even though it is anethema to put a trim brake at the bottom of a first drop, it really made the ride much better. Still not great, but better and my left side didn't end up bruised.

Worst coaster ever for me would be Enchanted Forest's old Kiddie Coaster. I remember it being an incredibly painful experience when I was 4 years old.

 

As for the worst major coasters I've been on, I'd go with the old Rebel Yell that went backwards since that was incredibly bumpy the whole way through and gave me a really bad headache. Also up there would be Canada's Wonderland's Flight Deck. Now I know why everyone despises SLCs because this one took pain to a whole new level.

The most boring family/thrill coasters I've ridden are:

Corkscrew at Valleyfair (although I appreciate the scenery)

Klondike Gold Rusher at Wild Waves Theme Park

Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis

Wildcat at Puyallup Fair

Pony Express at Knott's Berry Farm

 

My least favorite wooden coasters are American Eagle at SFGAm and Grizzly at CGA.

[jynx242]

Most recent: The Boss at SFStL. It should have been awesome and I liked the layout very well, but it just sucked the joy right out of me. I truly wish I had been ejected from the train before the double whammy helixes at the end. It would definitely have been less painful.

The worst coaster I've been on would be Dragon @ Adventureland with Wild Beast @ Canada's Wonderland being a close 2nd worst.

^After riding Dragon this summer, I agree that it is quite bad--but I think Ninja at SF St. Louis might be a bit worse.

^I think Ninja at SFOG is worse than GA Cyclone...but you are gonna need an appointment with a chiropractor after riding either one of those!

[themeparkman25]

Honest to God, I didn't mind Ninja at all. I thought the ride had a fun layout, some cool elements and there was no line! I even rode it twice!

[Hydraglow]

That I've been on?

 

X2. Hands down.

[imawesome1124]

Hurler and Anaconda at KD, they are the only coasters that I try to avoid. The strange thing is that they used to be some of my favorite coasters.

[RandyV]

Hands down - The Boss at SFStL. Regrettably, the first coaster I rode the day I was there. Thinking there were better seats, I foolishly rode again. What a waste of wood.

 

First runner up -- any Vekoma inverted coaster.

Predator @ Darien Lake before the new trains, it is much more comfortable now.

 

Now it would have to go to Disaster Transport or Mean Streak. Both complete wastes of space.

 

I actually liked SOB, a bit of pain can add to the thrill

[KDcoasterMAN]

Mean Streak... Only coaster to ever give me a bruise... Thos nice yellowish and bluish ones...

[bobbinbop20]

Medusa at Six Flags Mexico.

 

You can feel your brain rattle around inside of your head, you breath in Mexico City smog and it feels like it's gonna derail on every turn.

[The_Mad_Hatter]

ow. That's difficult. It'd be between Desperado and Manhattan Express (as most painful) although personally I wouldn't consider either of those coasters "bad," although I am not a huge boomerang fan...

[ericm95]

Definitely Kong at SFDK and Manhattan Express

[G-Force!]

^Kong was horrible when I rode it, but to be honest of my recent coasters I have been on, Vortex at CGA was the worst. So much headbanging you would have thought you just got out of a boxing match.

[chadster]

the only ride I've ever had a headache on after riding it was the Great Nor'easter @ Morey's Piers. Love the park, dislike the SLC. The only ride I've had a back ache on after riding, Mean Strike, like the layout, dislike feeling like I'm driving down an Oklahoma Turnpike with no suspension. (hint: ok turnpike = pot holes, buckeled portions of road, bumpy, bumpy, bumpy, and bumpy)

[CardCraze]

Roar at SFA

 

or

 

Hurler at King's Dominion

[Lamoure]

Fo' sure 100percent: Coaster Express at Parque Warner.

 

One of the best themeparks, with one of the worst woodies ever !!
