Corkscrewball Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I would have to say Scream. The parking lot was actually more exciting to me.
Crazy_Behemoth_Lady_Jess Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Corkscrew at PNE Playland. It's old, neglected, rough, and overdue for maintainence. If I could rip it out, I'd put something like an SLC, Boomerang, or even a compact B&M looper (like a clone of Daemonen) on that spot.
ohiocoasters Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Son of Beast. Rough and without the loop it has a really pointless layout.
JEAPUgrad Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 ^I must be the only person alive who enjoys SOB. Granted I've only been on SOB twice...May of 2000 and October 2008.
pianojohn Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I guess mean streak was better in the olden days NO. It was never better, and I rode it opening weekend in 1991. It just keeps getting worse and worse. Tear down just one? How about use one BIG match to get the following: Grizzly at Great America (wow...sucks SO bad) Mean Streak (sorry CP....there are better uses for the wood) Son of Beast (ouch ouch and more ouch) Hmm...and all three are at Cedar Fair/APOLLO parks!
XII Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Wild Beast. It's slow, boring, and the only coaster I've ridden that I'd consider painful.
PKI Jizzman Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Hurler at Carowinds comes to mind. I'd say Rattler, but it's so bad, it's awesome.
King of Ka Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 I think I'd tear down Great American Scream Machine at SFGAdv. It's not necessarily an awful ride; it just seems to take up a huge amount of space while doing almost nothing for the park. Even just another path back to Kingda Ka would be nicer than GASM IMO.
Skycoastin Steve Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 The Voyage, just because I like to see fanboys cry. I'm in the Mean Streak camp too, my reasoning is more than it is just mediocre and painful in a way that cannot be fixed but that it is taking a large area in a park that has limited land space and Cedar Point would more than like put one or more coasters there that would vastly superior to Mean Streak. Son Of Beast should be burned to the ground before it kills (again?). Quoted for truth (except for the part about Voyage, I shudder at the thought). Mean Streak has one of the most massive footprints I've ever seen, and it's not worth one square foot of the land it sits on. There's so much space in the middle of the coaster that you could literally put a number of flat rides in with room to spare. Even though it's beautiful to look at, tear the wasted lumber down and build something that's worthy of the valuable CP peninsula land.
Nrthwnd Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Anaconda at Parc d'Walygator, outside Paris. It hurts, its painful, it's awful... and once was enough for the *^$@# credit. Can I light one of the matches?
Moose Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 ^but it has cows! Every coaster has to be better with bovines. I have a hard time deciding on a coaster to tear down. While I have had awful rides, I am not sure if there are any cases where I would rather have nothing rather than a coaster.
Electerik Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Not that I object to negative threads, per se--but what's the point? Do we get to build something better in its place? Because, if not, it just seems kind of cruel. /Somebody somewhere loves Flashback.
Nrthwnd Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 ^but it has cows! Every coaster has to be better with bovines. Well, we'll re-locate them to another coaster more worthy of bovine goodliness, LOL! it just seems kind of cruel Coasters have feelings? Who knew?
Erik Johnson Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Wild Beast. It's slow, boring, and the only coaster I've ridden that I'd consider painful. Another vote for Wild Beast. I am also in the Son of Beast group. I will never ride that coaster ever again.
Maverickrocks Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Disaster Transport at Cedar Point. The ride is essentially a giant warehouse which acts as an eyesore to that part of the park. It blocks the view of the lake, which is one of the most unique features of CP. And the ride sucks too, worst theming ever. It's really the main symbol of Cedar Fair's failure at theming. Raze it and build a plug and play woodie in its place.
Electerik Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 On second thought, I'll say Maverick. /I actually like Disaster Transport. //A little.
Boose Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Colossus at SFMM. The lapbar gave me a dead leg on every single bump. It's the only ride I honestly hate and have been physically injured on (other than headbanging).
downunder Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 ^^^I actually love Disaster Transport on a hot summer day at Cedar Point, even if the ride sucks, they should rename it: Cool, Dark & Out of The Sun* *and you don't have to go into a shop or resturant.
CPmaverick Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 If Disaster Transport goes, then that means no more Happy Jack's Toy Factory. Happy Jack with no toy factory couldn't be Happy Jack anymore.
coasterfreaksrttd Posted December 31, 2009 Author Posted December 31, 2009 Not that I object to negative threads, per se--but what's the point? Do we get to build something better in its place? Because, if not, it just seems kind of cruel. /Somebody somewhere loves Flashback. What i had in mind is a scenario where you could give the park more space to build newer rides. there's always gonna be crappy rides that are just space hogs, that's a fact. We can't control what parks can and cannot do, so why not just think out loud. I thought it would be kind of a fun thread idea. And, it may be cruel, but some of the pain these coasters are causing to everyday people like you and me is more cruel than anything we could do to it. --- alex
monsterfan99 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 T2. I hate the ride, the black paint is falling off and it is the only ride I kicked in anger as I got off.
cooksta77 Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Colossus at SFMM. The lapbar gave me a dead leg on every single bump. It's the only ride I honestly hate and have been physically injured on (other than headbanging). Really? Colossus would be the first one you tear down? I mean It's definitely not the smoothest ride in the world but I don't think it's bad enough to tear down. Andrew "It's your opinion and I respect that" Iorio
cfc Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Space Mountain at DLP - An embarrassment to the Disney name Quoted for truth. Maybe the demo company can give them a two-for-one deal on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril, too.
jamesdillaman Posted December 31, 2009 Posted December 31, 2009 Some that come to mind: Iron Dragon SoB Cyclone (SFNE) and of course, Maverick (to be replaced with Maverick WITH the heartline roll...) -James Dillaman
