Roughest coaster

[rollermonkey]

Sort of. There's a thread for WORST coaster you've been on. Seems like the same to me.

 

Moderators, can we get a ruling?

[ECZenith]

SFNE's Cyclone was the roughest but not the worst.

 

Sometimes the roughness and intensity should be part of the ride experience, as long a syou can walk down the exit ramp everything's cool.

[socalMAN123]

I have to painful coasters: Psyclone @ SFMM and Boomerang @ KBF. Those are the worst coasters IMO. Just like ECZenith said, if you can walk down the exit ramp, you're good.

^Haha well said.

 

The roughest I've encountered is a tie between The Grizzly at PGA and Psyclone at SFMM. Grizzly has always been really jerky and the seats aren't the most comfortable...Same said for Psyclone.

 

However, this year the Grizzly go re-profiled, and Psyclone got 1000 feet of new track. I could have ridden Grizzly this weekend but the line was insane, and I haven't had a shot to ride Psyclone yet. However pre re-tracking, both rides were terrible...

To me, the worst coasters and the most painful are pretty much the same. In my opinion, a rough coaster makes it a lot worse than something with the exact same design but smooth. That said, Hercules, Son of Beast, Rattler, and Gouderix are among the worst coasters I've ever been on.

I would say the roughest that i've been on is the Ga Psyclone @ SFOG! about 2 weeks ago, I think I left my ribs on there!

[BeemerBoy]

It's a toss up:

 

The defunct Viper @ SFGADV

 

OR

 

Manhattan Express in Vegas

 

Both = Togo Death Machines

Psychlone at 6FMM is a real spine snapper, Cyclone at SFNE was pretty rough. That is out of the ones I have been on.

 

Out of the one's I haven't been based on POV'a and other people's opinions Son of Beast looks like it could send the Man of Steel into traction.

Roughest for me was the back seat ride on SFNE's Cyclone during Superhero Celebration 3 ('04). Hardly the WORST ride I've ever been on, but obviously this was before the recent retracking, so it was pretty painful. Despite that, it was then (and is more so now) one of my favorite woodies.

[V2-dude]

Ghostrider this past season.

[YoshiFan]

Hercules at Dorney

[307]

Son of Beast at PKI or Raging Wolf Bobs at Geauga Lake. Both were TERRRRRIBLE.

 

Predator at SFDL is on this list as well. As is the boomerang at Geauga Lake. God they sucked.

[Darien Laker]

SFDL's Predator is the absolute roughest coaster i've ever been on. Shockwave at SFGAm was rough but not that rough.

[mightypotato]

Mighty Canadian Minebuster at PCW. Last season when I rode it, my back felt like it had been hit by a sledgehammer. Its sad though, I remember it being a fun ride, not needlessly rough.

Moderator input: Roughest is not necessarily the worst. Topic will carry on.

 

My roughest would have to be Psyclone at SFMM.

Rattler at SFFT is in a whole nother league of roughness compared to Psyclone, Mean Streak, and Son of Beast. I held my hands up on the first drop and ended up knocking heads with the guy next to me. It didn't just feel rough, it felt like the cars were practically jumping around from rail to rail.

[the sound]

(Said Death Metal Style)GOUDRIX, GOUDRIX, WE WAS ON A ROUGH RIDE ON THE GOUDRIX.

 

BTW, that was my first coaster with an inversion.

[CoasterExpert13]

Steel: Steel Phantom...though it was fun, and my first ever coaster ride

 

Wood: Son of Beast...partialy fun but for the most part, it hurt.

[martinb]

Big Dipper at Blackpool is very rough, but its very fun. That or Corkscrew at Alton Towers

[pvcoasterguy]

Mean Streak, last row. What a mistake. It jackhammered at the bottom of every single drop. I thought that I was going to break some ribs on that ride.

[CoasterAddiction7]

Gwazi is so rough! It is a great woodie, but the roughness, I can't take it

[Jon Sabo]

I'm sure most all of us here probably never experienced this, but I would add Crystal Beach Cyclone (Traver?)

 

The drop, the ride layout, the nurse at the unloading platform. The reports of people having severe neck injuries, passing out and so on must have been a site to see. I believe many people went to the park just to "LOOK" at the ride, rather than ride it..lol

 

I have seen some videos from National Geographic and other publications and those trains going around the course just shouted "Ouch"!

[Ed]

Big Dipper at Blackpool is very rough, but its very fun.

 

-Martyn

 

Errr... You sure you've been on the right ride? Big Dipper isn't rough..

 

The corkscrew at Flamingoland is just painful. All you can hear from people going round is people shouting "OW"

[evil cod]

Flamingo Land's Corkscrew is alot smoother than Alton's especially with the new wheels its received.

 

My roughest ride has to be the Togo death machine that is...Manhattan Express. It really is evil.
