Aceattack52 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 As for smoothest (just felt like saying this): 1. Goliath @ SFMM 2. Gemini (both tracks) 3. Hulk A lot of the Euro fighters that Gerstlauer are very smooth as well. It's always nice to see.
gerstlaueringvar Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Hades360 taught me how smooth those Chinese knock-off coasters are.
GwaziBSRider1 Posted December 1, 2013 Posted December 1, 2013 Hmmm....I have a few to contribute. I'll stay away from the SLCs and Boomerangs. Wild Beast at Canada's Wonderland Steel Phantom at Kennywood Raging Wolf Bobs at Geauga Lake Son of Beast at Kings Island Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa Nighthawk at Carowinds Wildcat at Hersheypark
BeachsideThrills Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Ghostrider, get your sorry butt at the top of my roughest rides list...
LoopScreweD Posted May 29, 2014 Posted May 29, 2014 Twister 2 sucks it's slow not faithful to the original in any good ways rough and awful. But it looks amazing with fresh paint and Denver's skyline only redeeming qualities.
Woodie Warrior Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 The only real "rough" steel coaster I've been on was Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis. As far as wood goes, I have to say The Boss at Six Flags St. Louis, especially on my ride this season. The roughest coaster experience I've ever had.
coastercoaster5 Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Viper SFMM Manhattan Express Gwazi BGT Cyclone SFNE
IronWolfman Posted June 2, 2014 Posted June 2, 2014 Twister 2 sucks it's slow not faithful to the original in any good ways rough and awful. But it looks amazing with fresh paint and Denver's skyline only redeeming qualities. As a current Coloradoan, I actually love Twister 2. It runs pretty fast, at least it has this season and last season (the 2 seasons that I've been in CO). I actually like the roughness because it adds to the classic "rough & tough" feel of the ride. Anyways that's my opinion, and it does look amazing with new paint . Zeus in summer 2011 still holds roughest for me.
jray21 Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Manhattan Express is definitely up there! Rode it a while back and it was much worse than I remembered.
gerstlaueringvar Posted June 20, 2014 Posted June 20, 2014 Had a rough afternoon at Sun Park, you know... I'm not even sure if I will consider Hades360 the roughest coaster anymore.
bert425 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I've consistently said for years, "GhostRider" but after our recent trip thru Penn? "Wildcat" at Hershey Park is the new #1 . . .just awful.
sonoma15 Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 I'd have to go with kingda ka when sitting near the back row, ouch. Also mean streak for second!
rcjp Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 ^^It's 2nd for me (behind coaster express in Madrid). The last time I rode that one was 7 years ago and I though I had forgotten how it felt like (just remember the headache) but when I rode Wildcat last year, all those memories returned.
Projektion Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 Furius baco, back row. As much as I love that ride, there is nothing that can save those back rows.
rcjp Posted June 22, 2014 Posted June 22, 2014 ^Interesting. During this year's opening day I rode it (right at 10 a.m) and, as I was with a big group of friends, the seat arrangement was kind of messy, and when I realised I was going to sit in the back (and I always take the outside seat) I though: This is it. I'm officially going to be shaken to death. But, actually, I didn't find it bad at all. I mean, it unlocked my metal watch locking device and I nearly lost it, but I didn't really find it unpleasant.
gerstlaueringvar Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 it unlocked my metal watch locking device and I nearly lost it, but I didn't really find it unpleasant. I would consider it rough... Or did you buy your watch at IKEA?
Rollercoaster Rider Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Ednor at La Ronde. My guess is that it laid un-maintained for too long and Six Flags didn't get Vekoma to refurbish it. The turn after the brake is painful. I don't know how that's even possible.
rcjp Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 it unlocked my metal watch locking device and I nearly lost it, but I didn't really find it unpleasant. I would consider it rough... Or did you buy your watch at IKEA? Haha, no. It's a swatch, actually. More or less like this. But it's already a few years old.

Good thing Swatches weren't made in Croatia That's a Jeff Dunham joke
mightypotato Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 As much as I heard it was terribly rough, Ghostrider really surprised me with just how bad it was when I was at Knott's last week. It's not quite Hades 360 rough, but it's damn close.
Ryan P. Posted June 25, 2014 Posted June 25, 2014 So i remembered how awful Steamin Demon's corkscrews are at Six Flags Great Escape. Going there this friday and not sure if i wanna go on it again. I just remember that everything was fine until the corkscrews. Then my head was slammed (literally slammed) to the sides of the restraint. Getting off my ears were red. (Dont wear glasses! That probably didnt help the ride thankfully i have contacts now).
