Kennyweird Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 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 Woodies are evil?! That's blasphemy!!!

dpxtreme Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Kong - SFDK Boomerang - SFDK Giant Dipper - SCBB (I was hoping this day would never come, but I finally experienced a really rough ride that actually left me with a big headache the whole day.)

The Alex Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 The Georgia Cyclone and Texas Giant take the grand prize. Mega Zeph was rough, but she isn't rough enough to make this list. Oh, and almost any roller coaster bearing the 'Arrow' name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASA Guy Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 Hi, I'm new here, so I thought this would be a good topic to start in! What is the roughest rollercoaster you have the (un)pleasure to ride on? Sorry if this has been asked before. For me, Definately Son of Beast. I have ridden in the middle, back and second to front row and each ride gives me a painful experience, at this point I only ride it because it is (for now ) the only hyper at Kings Island. And yes, I have ridden Mean Streak. I rode in the Second row of the 5th car and it was very smooth, I really enjoyed it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomNick Posted July 10, 2008 Share Posted July 10, 2008 This one's an easy pick for me - Predator at Darien Lake Sad thing is, I rode it once shortly after Six Flags took over ('99 I believe), and it was actually pretty good and very fun. Then I rode again some 7 years later and felt like my spine would crack in half! If ever there was a poster child for the word "Retracking", this would be it!

mayberry21 Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 1.) Viper @ Great Adventure - I love the fact that I can say I was on it, just to say I was on it...but the expeirence was quite painful. I remember the shoulder restraints pushing down really hard on the bony part of my shoulder. Ay yi yi. 2.) Manhatten Express - Loved the location/scenery but it was an absolutely terrible ride. 3.) Mean Streak @ Cedar Point - Awful. 4.) Predator @ Darien Lake - Painful. 5.) I think I'm probably in the minority on this one...but I have to include Wildcat @ Hershey. I've never enjoyed this ride with the exception of the first drop and I don't feel the new trains made any difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nay Posted July 13, 2008 Share Posted July 13, 2008 Ghostrider at Knott's immediately comes to mind as the roughest coaster for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taytig Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 I'd have to say the roughest is the Mighty Canadian Spine (mine) buster and Canada's Wonderland. I thought it made Meanstreak feel smooth! After 1 ride on minebuster, I had to take a break and the headache followed in minutes, and the bruises on the rib cage lasted for days. Cedar fair needs to seriously rethink this ride - either take it down and replace with an Intamin woodie or retrack/reprofile the ride!

sixflagsguy5 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Coney Island Cyclone. It was the worst coaster I have ever ridden. I'm happy that my 400th coaster was accidentally the Big Apple instead of the cyclone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASA Guy Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 ^I usually Hear rave reviews from Cyclone, what's wrong with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sixflagsguy5 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 It was really rough and I felt it in my back at the bottom of each hill/ drop from the transition from dropping to going back up. I've been on a lot of coasters and I've never felt anything quite that bad. Usually I don't mind coasters that most people consider 'rough' such as Manhattan Express or even Rolling Thunder at SFGADV. I'm guessing that they haven't done much work on the Cyclone or its trains recently. I would still suggest riding it if you're in the area, because it's an old classic woodie. There are some other cool things in the area such as the wonder wheel, the wacky worm (big apple) with a 'transfer track' loading station, and nathan's hot dogs. I only took one ride on the cyclone and it was in 2:1 (second car, front row). My friends had a bad ride in 1:4 also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NASA Guy Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Well, It's a shame to see such a great ride have such neglect. Whatever happened to those plans the City of New York had to restore coney?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sixflagsguy5 Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 ^^ When we were there we saw advertisement for 'the future of Coney Island' on the street that goes from nathan's hot dogs to the boardwalk/ beach where the thunderbolt used to be. Coney Island is in a very bad neighborhood, so I woudn't be suprised to see it shut down eventually or only have the Cyclone. Anyways, this is probably the wrong topic for this, so I'll stop talking about Coney Island. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
