Janster Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 The Roughest Coaster I have ever been on is the Superwirbel at Holiday Park. I don't know what happened during the winter but that track is jacked up. Two Seat in front of us a girl knocked out one of her front teeth. What a shame......Yep, the contraxt between Holiday Park's two roller coaster is astronomical. Superwirbel is also my roughest ride ever. I banged my knee against something and walked like a criple for a couple of hours. Terrible ride.
Darien Laker Posted April 18, 2007 Posted April 18, 2007 Steel: Mind Eraser at Darien Lake Wood: Predator at Darien Lake OVERALL: Predator  Honorable Mentions would be Mean Streak (Which was more boring than rough, but still very rough) and Shockwave at SFGAm (RIP).
borisdag Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Without a doubt  1. Cyclone at SFOG: bruised tailbone 2. Manhattan Express at NYNY in Vegas: cut (and bleeding) lip
CoastersNSich Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Looping Star, Beech Bend Hurler, Kings Dominion (2004) Mean Streak, Cedar Point (2003) Â There's more I could include, but some of them depend on where you're sitting.
llykstw Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Gwazi, tiger side. That thing put my wife off woodies for life, although I've tempted her back on a few since. Â Honourable mentions go to: Â Vampire at Walibi Belgium - I've seen a few people on this thread mention El Condor at Walibi Holland, which I think is the exact same design (isn't there also one of these at Busch Gardens in Tampa?), but I found El Condor to be silky smooth in the front row, whereas Vampire was punishing anywhere on the train. Â Corkscrew, Alton Towers (although this was great when it first opened, so it's probably just the age of the thing). Â La Via Volta at Walibi Holland. Still running as of 6 May 2007, by the way - wasn't it due to shut a week or so ago? These things are always swines though, the one at Walibi Belgium (Cobra?) and the one at American Adventure in the UK were just as bad, in exactly the same spot - the first reverse inversion.
EuroTre Posted May 8, 2007 Posted May 8, 2007 Nope, there isn't an SLC at Busch Gardens. But there was a terrible corkscrew there.
Goliath513 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 1) Vortex at KGA is probably the roughest B&M coaster ever. 2) X is pretty rough if you ride anywhere but the front row. 3) The double corkscrew on SFMM's Viper is the roughest part on any arrow coaster I have ridden. 4) I probably don't need to mention this, but Vekoma Boomerangs and SLCs in general are extremely rough.
cinciDAWGS12 Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Son of Beast without a doubt. But they are fixing it up and I hope it will be smoother.
EuroTre Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Not if they put the Category 5's trains on it! G-trains on an RCCA woodie? OUCH!
ghost007jas Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 ^^^ You really don't know what a "rough" coaster is do you? Â Grizzly without a doubt, boring, rough, oh my back!
terrancew_hod Posted May 11, 2007 Posted May 11, 2007 Son of Beast without a doubt. But they are fixing it up and I hope it will be smoother. Â I had a death grip on the front bar and tears in my eyes trying to keep my back from slamming into the back of the seat. I got off that thing with my back sore and a splitting headache. I had to sit it down for a few minutes to recover. Â I was thinking "Isn't this supposed to be fun?"
cinciDAWGS12 Posted May 13, 2007 Posted May 13, 2007 ^^it was actually a pretty smooth ride when it opened but it didn't age well and now its just not fun to ride. it might even be worse than a vekoma boomeran
brilinjo Posted May 29, 2007 Posted May 29, 2007 1. Ghostrider – KBF (Great layout, shame about the roughness) 2. Goldrusher – SFMM 3. Jaguar - KBF
EuroTre Posted June 19, 2007 Posted June 19, 2007 Just back from vacation. T2. Yeah, it was horrific. My back actually hurt worse than my head. It also made my mom's back ache for the rest of the trip.
Airtime&Gravity Posted June 20, 2007 Posted June 20, 2007 The roughest coaster I've ridden is by far Predator at Darien Lake. The first time it wasn't so bad(rough, but had some airtime), but the second time it felt like the whole structure would fall apart. The train shook through the entire ride, and it made Hades(2006) seem smooth. I spent 40 minutes at that park(Ros was closed), and I hope both the park and coaster get some care though. The park seems like it could be nice, and if Predator is retracked, then it could be a decent ride.
handy-andy Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 1. Corkscrew, Alton Towers  2. Corkscrew, Flamingo Land  3. Gawazati, BGA  Owwwwww
coasterfreak101 Posted June 24, 2007 Posted June 24, 2007 Last year, I had the "priveledge" of riding Hurricane: Category 5 at the Myrtle Beach Pavillion. That one definately makes the list! Â This past Wednesday, I took my first trip to Darien Lake...Predator isn't all that great either. Each valley/crest seems to have 4-5 vertexes, making the transitions completely choppy. Definately not my favorite...
Disney Dood Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Me and my cousins were talking about making the Mind Eraser at SFNE the last coaster of your trip so you won't have a headache for the rest of the day.
CoasterNut17 Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 Have a Chiropractor on speed-dial if you're going to ride Villain at Geauga Lake. It totally killed me! I was laughing my face off because it was so funny to try to avoid all the back-breaking bumps!
UFAlien Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 The Cyclone at SFNE is incredibly rough. And yet, it's actually fun. There's even some good airtime ! Who knew?
