coastercrzyjames Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I'd have to go with Psyclone at SFMM and X at SFMM last time i rode it was rough too, but it was still enjoyable. Ah another ride that i found rough was Python at BGA. Good classic ride but pretty rough!! Everyone complains about Viper at SFMM too, but i dont find that ride rough, I actually like it.

Kennyweird Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Personally, I think Mean Streak at Cedar Point is the roughest coaster I've ever been on. CP should burn it to the ground and replace it with something that's at least somewhat fun. A close second would be the Anaconda at KD. That thing left restraint parts embedded in my ears!

MG Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I found Psyclone at SFMM the worst i've been on. Corkscrew at Alton Towers was close behind though. It was better the last time I rode it though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geekgrrl Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I can deal with a rough coaster, but Son of Beast is the most pain-inducing coaster I think I have ever had the displeasure of riding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllenA07 Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm going to give my vote to Psyclone, however there needs to be mention of Manhattan Express and Grizzly at PGA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee cannonball Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'm pretty sure naming a coaster after a snake is some sort of curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedB Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 They should use Son of Beast as part of the finale for some Independence Day fireworks. Last fireworks go boom and all of a sudden SOB goes up in flames! It brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlambert21 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Mine is Looping Star at Beech Bend. Track was a V shape at bottom of drop I swear. Manhattan Express also needs mentioned and the restraints on ZOnga/Tsunami made for the worst ride ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fbh007 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 The corkscrews and the helix of Super Manege at La Ronde are rough.It's still a cool ride,but it gives you a headache if you don't protect your head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TXmisfit Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Hands down, Matterhorn Bobsleds @ Disneyland CA, especially back in the day when they were single 4 man sleds (instead of the two hooked together) The most wretched, violent and insecure (only a seatbelt and evil log flume seating) Im surprised I ever rode another ride after that, thank god for modern technology, even the worst woodie in the world couldnt compare to the Murderhorn in the seventies... yipes!

andyuk200523 Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Without a shadow of a doubt the back seat on Magnus Collosus at Terra Mitica, Benidorm, I have never been in so much pain in all my life, I genuinely though my chest was gonna explode inside my body!!! Second to that though, probably Indiana Jones and The Temple of Peril: Backwards at DLP, that was frighteningly painful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Linn Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Great American Scream Machine (GAdv) and Knoebel's old Whirlwind are 1A and 1B for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillgeek Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 X I would say "Son of Beast", but at least you can avoid it in some seats. Hahaha. That's the opposite for me. X is my favorite! My least favorite is Phyclone at SFMM but even that I'd give a 6/10. I have a high pain tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pacoasterrider Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Roar at SFA isn't to pleasant, Good ol' six flags matnence isn't helping ether. Sitting in the front is a bad idea. But just watching Manhattan Express videos hurt, so I'd have to say that's the worst. Plus it costs a lot to ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rollerman87 Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Toss up between a few woodies: The Villain -Geauga Lake Big Dipper -Geauga Lake Mean Streak -Cedar Point Psyclone -SFMM Ghostrider -Knott's Because of these rides, I hate woodies. But, I do want to ride the Gravity Group and Intamin pre-fab ones, along with a few others (like The Beast), before I decide Woodies are evil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philrad71 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 I was just at King's Dominion yesterday and I have to say that they have some of the roughest wooden coasters I have ever ridden, depending on where you ride them.... * Rebel Yell - Fun, but yet a bit boring in the front seat (hardly any air time). Rode the back seat on the second voyage and got killed almost every time we bottomed a hill...OUCH!!!!! Front seat made us think that it was worth trying a trip on the back seat, being that it was a walk on...BIG mistake! DO NOT RIDE THIS IN THE BACK IF YOU ARE OVER 30!!!!! Gemini kicks this coasters ass for a racing coaster, despite his helix of death at the end! * Hurler - The turn after the first drop has to be one of the most painful helixes I have ever endured on a wooden coaster. We rode in the second seat thinking it would be smoother in the front. I can only imagine the pain that this thing brings in the back! * Grizzly - Rode in the front seat and it was by far the best wooden coaster at the park. Still a bit jerky (but that is to be expected), but I was not about to chance this one in the back, despite hardly any line. One good thing about this ride is that it looks like it might be fun after dark...but definitely not a "great" wooden coaster. Photo trip report coming soon!

HerBlackWings Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 (I won't go for the obvious SOB.) Sooo...I had the chance to ride Wildcat at Compounce over the weekend. I sat towards the back of the train, and got the throttling of MY LIFE. I couldn't find any position to sit in, or any way to brace myself to avoid having my tailbone hammered on. ...AND I usually ENJOY being jostled violently.
