coasterbill Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 The worst coaster I've ever ridden is Viper at SFGADV but someone beat me to it... The second most painful coaster I've ridden is X but I'll spare it since I haven't ridden it as X2... So I'll go with Mind Eraser at SFNE. What a horrible ride that is...

Bob! Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Space Mountain Mission 2 at Disneyland Paris. While the building is beautiful, the ride is horribly painful. Wow, it really is PAINFUL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastermaniac Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Mantis I agree 100%. I've never been a fan of Mantis. I only ride it if it has NO line just to get the credit but that's it. It's just too rough on your head and legs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrecken Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 For a wood coaster, I'd choose SOB. I rode it one time when it had the loop and I wish I hadn't. Let's put it this way - it hurt my neck way worse than the car accident I was in where I t-boned a van in a small compact car and the whole front of my car was turned into an accordian. The car accident was quick - but SOB beat me up for basically the whole 2nd half of the ride after the loop. My neck hurt for a few hours after both incidents. For a steel, I'd have to go with Shockwave at KD. I've been on some rough stand-ups, like Mantis and Vortex at CGA (didn't get to ride Iron Wolf last time I was at SFGA), but Shockwave takes the cake. Especially since I was a lot younger when I rode it for my first and only time, back in 97'. I can best compare the bunny hops and helixes at the end to riding an old ten speed bicycle way too fast over a gravel road filled with potholes. I always felt that way about Psychlone at SFMM too, but at least I wasn't straddling a bike-style seat on that one! I can't imagine what Shockwave would do to a man; especially since I thought it would end up breaking my tailbone. I'd melt this piece of scrap iron down and use the steel to build a nice B&M suspended invert in the park or an Intamin of some sort. Actually, even a spinning mouse would be a great improvement.

CoasterRollin Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hurler @ KD - Yeah, it's the Hurler, except "hurl" in the sense of "throwing", as in "throw out your back" For a steel coaster, I would say Mind Eraser at SFA, but I have hope for the SLC's in general. Their layouts are potentially very fun... they just need to kink out that headbanging. I can haz new trains, plz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meteornotes Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My old answer to this would have been Son Of Beast, but that's been taken care of, so I now believe I'll go with Bandit at Movie Park Germany. Just horrid. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArundelHigh Coasters Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My old answer to this would have been Son Of Beast, but that's been taken care of, dt ^ Hahahahaha!, Wood: Roar at SFA, unless they turn it into a hybrid.

CpBluestreakCp Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Mean Streak at Cedar Point. That large space of land can be home to one or two new coaster or even a whole new area. There isn't anything great about the ride besides it adding a nice back drop to the Frontier area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You see, Shockwave was not bad for me at all! They must have done some sort of work on it when it was repainted because while It wasn't exactly smooth as glass, it was much better than I expected though. Anaconda too is a not-bad ride for me, If it wasn't for that messed up helix the ride would definetly be re-rideable! I guess its because I like it rough and wild is why I don't find Arrows, Togos and Vekomas to be so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Bandit (Movie Park Germany) or Anaconda (WalyGator Parque) Either one's a win. So-to-speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RCT3Bross Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Robin Hood (Walibi Holland). I had so much pain after riding it I gladly say it's a must not do. No chance I will ever ride it again. They should call Rocky mountains, Intamin or GCI for a new one the ride takes up enough space for a awesome wooden coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
