cosmic hearse Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Kingda Ka, and Revolution. Revolution seems like a chore to ride since I have to focus on ways to not bang my head around. Although I have to say I remember having a good time the first time I rode it back when I was younger. Kingda Ka was fun but I was expecting a huge rush. Oddly enough I get a much bigger rush on Xcelerator.
Electerik Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Nope, can't think of any. /Pretty pointless post, actually. //Okay, okay...my first flying coaster (SUF @ SFOG) was enjoyable for the novelty, I guess. But I was bored by the third or fourth time. Does that count?
Speeddeamon128 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 For me I would have to say S:ROS at SFA. I rode it first in 2007 & had a blast but then I rode it on TPR's East Coast trip & it felt slow & wasn't as fun as I remembered.
bspellx5 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 The Pandemonium at SFNE was like that for me. I was realy looking forward to it, and it seemed like it was over in 10 seconds and while the spinning was pretty cool I had like no desire to do it again.
thrillrideseeker Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Kingda Ka comes to mind. The first time I rode it I was all like... "That was amazing, we must do it again." Then the second time I was like "OMG that ride really sucks... Does anyone have any Tylenol?" I think MF at Cedar Point is the same way. It is good once, but it is not a re-ride. Same with Raptor. But maybe thats just me! ~Matthew
CreditCrazy Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Scream at SFMM. The first time I rode it, it was great. Then it slowly got worse. Now it's horrible. Silver Bullet and Superman: The Escape are some others.

But maybe thats just me!~Matthew I'm the opposite with TTD. I rode it once & thought it rocked & then KK was built the next year & I was hooked on that. When I went back to CP in 2007 TTD was boring to me because I was so used to KK since GADV is my home park. KK>TTD! However MF is my favorite steel & I can ride it all day long!
monsterfan99 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Superman:UF at Great America for me. Was my first coaster in almost 5 years and the first flying coaster. The rush was outstanding. Rode it again about a month and a half later and hated it. The ride was boring and painful (stupid pretzel loop) in the back. Now I can ride it in the front if friends want to ride it but the back is hell. Iron Wolf also falls into this category. Is was my first stand-up coaster and the loop is fun. After the 2nd ride, I noticed a headache coming. Happens about every time I ride it now. The last time I rode it, the ride op's were telling people how to ride and to expect head pains after ridding. That was enough for me.
davethefish Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Air at Alton Towers, big queues when I went, lots of hype, and the ride was a lot of fun. Second time, it was kinda good, but still the long lines, and the hype was annoying. Then I worked on the ride... it just got boring....
Homer Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 I'm on the bandwagon of any Intamin over 400 feet. Yes, TTD's launch is intense, but I don't see myself waiting more than 10 minutes to ride it again.
CHILLERLC1 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Hydra. I could live without it. Roller Soaker at Hersheypark. Ditto. I just sacrificed myself for the credit. It was the last time as well.
netdvn Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I know I'm seriously gonna get flamed for this but Loch Ness Monster at BGW. When I first rode it, it was an excellent ride, fast, thrilling, very fun! Subsequent rides were a completely different story. 1. The ride has HORRIBLE pacing. Just when the ride was abut to pick up speed, it is killed by brakes which would slow the ride down to a crawl. For examlple, the first drop is incredible, but when the ride hits the trims on the second drop, the ride loses speed quickly going into the loop. Directly after the loop, the train would hit the first MCBR and slow back down again. And then after the tunnel helix, the ride would hit ANOTHER set of MCBRs and slow down a third time. Personally IMO if Busch won't run both trains in the loops there's really no point in having all those block brakes. 2. The tunnel felt long, boring, rough, and pointless. The effects probably haven't been working for years. 3. The station has no ventilation whatsoever so it feels like an oven on hot days. 4. There seems to be a decent effort at creating a story at the entrance, but once you leave the entrance, the story and theming disappear. BBW across the park is a MUCH better, more intense ride.
ghost007jas Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Top Thrill Dragster, most definitely. It was a ton of fun the first and second time I rode it, but after the third time.. It just ceased to be fun.
CoasterNERD502 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I have a whole list of rides that I ruined by riding twice or three times in a row: Loch Ness Monster- so much fun the first time around, then the second time I hated it Wild One- so much fun the first couple rides, but the 3rd time was extra boring! Joker's Jinx/Flight of Fear- after the first ride, the launch wasn't fun anymore. Theres more but I cant think of them right now.
The Disneylander Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Mantis at CP-the last few turns can be quite brutal.
Hilltopper39 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I'm gonna go ahead and piss off the fanboys here, but my answer is most attractions Disney, well a lot of attractions at Disney. Soarin, Mission Space, Test Track, Stitch Encounter, Dinosaur, Kali River Rapids, Ellen Universe of Energy, The new Tiki Room, Primevil Whirl, Finding Nemo Musical, Star tours,and a few others. I mean I love Disney as much as anyone but some of the more recent additions are jsut kinda meh to me. You experience it once and its not as interesting or entertaining the 2nd or 4th or 10th time. As far as coasters Medusa at SFWA (or whatever it is now), and msot SLC's and B&M Superman flyers, yeah
atem122 Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Nemo Subs at Disneyland, once you get over the novelty of being underwater it just becomes 12 minutes of boredom. Also pretty much any B&M at sfmm (except tatsu). Usually you ride it once and every ride after is just really boring.
SuperShawn Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Pony Express at knott's. It was a fun experience the first time, the second I was falling asleep on my pony.
jamesdillaman Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 I was falling asleep on my pony. I don't know why, but this makes me chuckle.... -James Dillaman

Both batman(even if it is a clone) and Riddler's is my number 3 favorite coaster of all time.

Whatever -_-, I admit Riddler's is pretty fun, but Batman is in no way a re rider, and Scream completely blows (If it had a line I wouldnt ride it ) Plus, I'm an Intamin Fanboy
GreatAdventureConnection Posted March 21, 2009 Posted March 21, 2009 Mantis at Cedar Point. The first time went on it I was suped and I had loads of fun. But when I go on it now, I really don't have fun.
