bert425 Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Both from our Penn. Trip this past June. .and both from HersheyPark. (prior to this trip, my "worst" was always GhostRider at Knotts (crammed in the padded seat, lap bar in my ribs. . . horrid). but HersheyPark beat it: Wildcat: a large car with square wheels, going down a dirt road filled with potholes. awful, awful experience. SkyRush: it has it's fans, but it's ejector air is not for me. I'm not having fun if I'm holding on for dear life worried I'm going to fall out. Never again. .once was more than enough.

hey...hey Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Manhattan Express in 2003. Hands down the worst ride I have ever been on. Adding insult to injury that it was $13 even back then. It really is every bit of bad that TPR video shows. I showed that whole video to my family a few years after we rode it, and we couldn't stop laughing because we all felt the EXACT same way. Amen to that...rode it back in 2001 and it was really bad. On the other hand, love Raptor except for the quick jerk into the brake run. ^As for Hershey, Wildcat is one of, if not my favorite ride there. Love sitting in the last row. Out of control GCI. Might try and marathon it this weekend if I go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerstlaueringvar Posted September 10, 2014 Share Posted September 10, 2014 Speaking of H*** on Earth, Raptor, a B&M Invert turned into a Vekoma SLC itself when I rode it back in may. I sat all the way on the left in the front car. I did it because there were a couple taking the 2 left seats, so I gave them space. I never expected deep fried H*** on a stick! (Just giving my honest thoughts.(Now I know what Alpengeist is like(Sort of))) EDIT: Added this image. Don't sit here! I didn't take the outside seat but I took the seat right next to where you sit. It was perfectly smooth with some snappy transitions that even Batman clone's Corkscrews get more intense. It was not Maverick smooth but definitely better than SLC. Maybe the wheel in which your seat is right below was suffering from some issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GnastyGnoric7 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Someone on Skyrush had a protein spill on the train and I was one row behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharman19 Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 I've never had much trouble with Raptor, either. I always thought it was smoother than the Batman clones. Well my last 2 rides before, and then my rides after that, I still have that fear of sitting on the outside, but I haven't had a lot of trouble. Except for that twist into the brake run, and the cobra roll, but you HAVE to love that zero-g roll! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 ^I actually like the ending. When I was riding a batman clone a few days ago which I hadn't been on for a while and we were coming close to the brakes I remember thinking: now it would be great if this had a raptor ending!

Running_Buddy Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Steel Phantom at Kennywood. We went in 1996 and that ride ruined me. The head banging during the curve at the bottom of the ravine was the worst I've ever experienced. Thank God they gave that ride a makeover!

ashtonrick Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 Without a doubt x at Thorpe Park when it ran backwards totally boring layout but it made you feel sick - only coaster to ever do that to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonGeorge Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 My worst coaster experience was Kong at SFDK. I went on it with my GP 8th Grade classmates. Ironically, every kid who went on it despised that ride after, and we decided to get our humorous Tivoli credit nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GwaziBSRider1 Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Correcting myself: the new Premier trains on Goliath at SFNE. I've never been so hurt by a single ride in my life. I was in so much pain that I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to walk off without assistance. I truly believe that I was injured by the ride, as my back has never been the same since.

Athletekim Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Riding Apollo's Chariot at BGW this past summer in torrential downpour. The sky was getting darker while I was waiting in line and right when I sat down on the train it started to pour. Of course when we were hitting the final break run it stopped raining outside for the rest of the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jray21 Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 X. I felt like a pinball in a steel cage. It's the first time I honestly felt like something in my body was going to break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
