Worst Arrow coaster

[CP_fan_boy]

What do you think is the worst Arrow coaster ever? I say Corkscrew at Michigan's Adventure.

[Stitch]

Diamondback @ Frontier City gets my vote

 

Corkscrew @ Michigan's Adventure - 1

Diamondback @ Frontier City - 1

[Coasterlicious]

I havent been on enough of them

Steel Phantom or the second half of Lightning Bolt V.2.

The now gone, but not missed Orient Express was pretty damn bad!

 

And that thing I rode at Ocean Park the other day was right up there also.

To tell you the truth, I, arrowfanman, have been on, I believe only 6 Arrows...lol.

 

...Hey...I picked my name cuz its catchy! (not to mention, of the 6 Arrows I have been on, none are really bad).

[USRoadTripper]

I seem to remember getting off of Vortex at PKI thiinking that it was the rougest steel coaster I'd ever ridden. I didn't ride it on my last trip there...and I can certainly say that a few SLCs and boomerangs have taken over the bottom few spots, but I'd still say Vortex takes it as worst Arrow.

GASM at SFGAdv. What a giant assed pile of crap.

 

The Corkscrew at MI at least has the unique feature of having the track run through some guy's garage...

I'd probably say Demon at Six Flags Great America is the roughest one, however, it's still a really fun ride. If they would just reprofile the the drop off the midcourse/entrance to corkscrews, it would be fun. That's the only rough spot, but it's very bad.

 

Suprisingly, Shockwave was very smooth for my ride. It was also very intense, and very smooth. It was as smooth as Kraken at Sea World (I know, unbelievable.) But, I'm telling you, if you sit in the back car of the Arrow multi-loopers, it's smooth. (I think the trailer is back there, which makes it smoother.) I guess that technique also works on Ninja at SFOG. Can anyone confirm that?

 

In comparison, I've been on:

Shockwave, Six Flags Great America

Demon, Six Flags Great America

Cedar Creek Mine Ride, Cedar Point

Gemini, Cedar Point

Corkscrew, Cedar Point

Magnum XL-200, Cedar Point

Python, Busch Gardens Tampa

^I have ridden Shockwave many times in the back and I never had a smooth ride. The front isnt as bad as the back. In the back you get whipped around all of the turn and inversions which makes your head slam more.

[Shockwave]

From the ones I've been one, I'd have to say the Pepsi Max Big One.

 

Definetly not Arrow's finest hour.

[EpcotLova]

Arrow mine trains hurt pretty good.

 

The ones at SFOG and PC are prime examples.

[Coasterlicious]

Magnum is overated... it was a little rough.. but lots of airtime.. and fat people friendly lapbars..

[MagnumForce]

GASM at GADV is probably my personal worst along with MIA's Corkscrew.

 

Neither compares to one certain Togo at SFGADV or even that horrible Vekoma at SFSTL.

 

I do hold three Arrow Coasters in very high regards though, Magnum, Gemini, and Tennessee Tornado.

[Erik Johnson]

Yes if you sit in the back car front seat of the Ninja at SFOG..the ride is actually quite fun.

[MagnumForce]

I actually like SFOG's Ninja, it has a great layout, SFSTL's is just utterly horrible though, but these are both Vekomas and not Arrows.

[EroticVulture]

Some padding in the seats (and back) would be helpful. At some point during an Arrow coaster I usually end up banging my spine on the hard plastic back.

[ChainDog]

I'm with Rob on this one. Orient Express was almost unrideable its last few years. In its day, it was okay, but that "helix" at the end was painful from the day it opened!

[EpcotLova]

Wow! Its actually good to see other people who rode Ninja that didnt think it was evil! I rode in the front and the back and it didnt hurt in either seat. In fact it was pretty fun!

[Costakid]

Almost any Arrow with OTSRs. It sucks being tall on an Arrow with OSTRs not cause of head banging, but you have to cruch down to fit in the ride, and then your shoulders are pressed against the OSTRs and any rattleing or roughness is transfered directly into your shoulders, while your are semi-crouching to fit. Neck banging is also possible, if your not pinned so tightly that you can't move. Viper @ MM is my worst experiance with this, I loved it untill I broke 6'. I would have loved an on-site chiropractor after that POS.

[What Now]

It's scary how many Arrows I've been on. There are waaaay too many out there. My least favorite would have to be Pepsi Max Big One. How the Brits love that ride, I have no idea.

[Coasterkid20]

In my opinion all arrows suck, and this includes Tennessee Tornado, out of 10 I'd give it an 8 in the back and a 5 in the front. So like a 6.5 average, and that is the best of the bunch.........

[ECZenith]

Any of the dozen corkscrews I've been on fit the bill.

 

(Almost as bad and as numerous as Vekoma Boomerangs)

[SharkTums]

GASM at SFGAd was one of two coasters ever that made me bleed, so that one is probably at the top! Orient Express is probably pretty close!

[Frade]

All of them
