australianalex Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I remember riding this evil thing at a fair a while back, can't believe I forgot to post about it here. It was horrible. It's the legendary "Towering Coaster" from RCT3! http://www.sbfrides.com/images/image/Tower%20coaster395.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrenata Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Firewhip - Beto Carrero World - By far the worst SLC EVER and a very painful experience Montezum - Hopi Hari - I still have bruises from the last time I rode it! Green Lantern - SFGA - I had no idea that a stand up coaster would make me cry! Cyclone - Coney Island - It was great in the past, but last year it was rough as hell Viper - SFMM - Why is this thing still there? Why do people ride it???

Gutterflower Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Zoom at Yoyo Land in Thailand. The ride used to be long and feature some good drops.. in 1999 they removed most of the drops and turned the ride into an oval with 2 drops with a lifthill between them Red is the new track. green is the old...

Werner Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Like all RCCA woodies that i've ridden... Bandit, Magnus Colossos and Coaster Express. But number one has to be Anaconda for me! When a coaster already hurts when not even on the lifthill, you just know your doomed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rcdude Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 Flight of the Hippogriff at IOA I sometimes feel that people don't "get" this thread... Seriously, how is a Vekoma roller skater the "Worst Coaster Ever?" Yeah, you have to look at the coasters in context. Although most kiddie coasters rank at the bottom of my list, I wouldn't call any of them the worst because they aren't for my age group and are great for their target audience. Besides, in my opinion Vekoma's are among the best kids coasters (I'd say Wisdom's kiddies are in general my least favorite, followed by the Zamperla family gravity coaster). Anyway, my bottom three wood and steel (excluding kiddie and family coasters) are: Wood: 1. Grizzly at California's Great America 2. Psyclone (now defunct) at Six Flags Magic Mountain 3. Mean Streak at Cedar Point Steel: 1. Steamin' Demon at Great Escape 2. Canobie Corkscrew at Canobie Lake Park 3. High Roller (now defunct) at Stratosphere Tower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
australianalex Posted October 28, 2012 Share Posted October 28, 2012 (edited) I agree, kiddie coasters shouldn't be named the "worst" unless they're super rough and painful. If they're smooth and fun for kids, they fulfil their purpose. The worst coaster I've been on is Lethal Weapon at Movieworld, however I need to re-ride it as Arkham Asylum then re-judge it as I'm sure it'll be better with the KumbaK trains. EDIT: Re-rode it as Arkham Asylum, it's now a fantastic ride! I had no idea SLCs were so intense, Im usually distracted by the pain. Having been on only 7 wooden coasters and enjoying them all, I don't really have a worst. I suppose the most uninteresting one was the Scenic Railway at Luna Park. However I don't dislike it due to it's nostalgic feel and the fact it offers pretty good views of St Kilda.

Zamperla kiddie coasters are the best, they are the few kiddie coasters that actually beat you up. Anyways, my worst coaster is Green Lantern (SFMM). This is the most painful coaster I ever been on and I don't know how it can be enjoyable. Also, I have more fun on Roadrunner Express (SFDK) than Green Lantern (SFMM).

thestripedtaco Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 ^ I have had two rides so far on Green Lantern. My first ride I encountered no pain and thought it was an amazing ride. The second time I got the most insanely painful jolt in the legs during the final element into the station. I almost started crying it was so painful. I laugh every time I see someone complaining about Skyrush being very painful because there really is no comparison to the stress that final element put's on your legs. I think it might be due to the fact that I was flipped upside down and then yanked downwards in a tight radius as by the rides design and just was in the worst rotation possible for that kind of vertical turn.

3Mutts Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Le Cobra at La Ronde! That thing is boring and has a very strong rattle. Also the crotch crusher bicycle seat is worse then the B&M ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbear30 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 I can somewhat agree with GL:FF. I just rode it at the beginning of October and even though it wasn't the roughest/most painful coaster I have been on, it was pretty damn bad. I had a bruise on my thigh from the OTSR and the fact that we never flipped. I also had the worst ear pain on one of the drops but it was inner ear and not from head banging. It was so forceful that it hurt inside my ears. How is that even possible on a coaster? I have never felt anything like that before and I wasn't the only one in my group that did. Suffice to say, only one person in my group rerode it again during our visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angle O. Descent Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Any inverted Vekoma clone... head goes biddity-bing-bong every time. I also second Le Cobra at La Ronde. Should be called Le Getthefreakintylenol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxelmatic Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Worst ride for me is probably Sidewinder, or any Boomerang for that matter. They have a fun layout, yes, but it's not worth doing that just to have your brains turned to mush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 ^Agreed. Sidewinder is the worst boomerang I've ridden. As for worst overall though, I'm saying Manhattan Express. Togo or not, it's a coaster that had all the tools to be good, or at least fun and unique, but squanders everything and has the BALLS to ask you to pay $14.00 for it alone. After five years living in Las Vegas, there is no coaster I hate more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
