terrancew_hod Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Anaconda at Walygator. I was literally in tears from the pain, and the coaster felt like it was going to collapse from the stress! I was leaning away from the seat and gripping the lap bar and I was still getting banged up. Terry
thrillgeek Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Finally got my Grizzly credit from CGA. Yeah It's pretty damn rough but it's more than just rough it's borring as hell
panda367 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 Definitely Predator at Darien Lake. Every time I go on that ride, I think it'll be better than the last time, but it's always incredibly bumpy and rough. Second place- Mean Streak.
HowieP Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Gwazi at Busch Gardens Africa. It's in desperate need of retracking and adding Millennium Flyers. A close second is American Eagle at Six Flags Great America, but that was more bumpy than rough and it didn't leave me in pain.

Corkscrew Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 I got back from Wild Waves Theme Park a few days ago, and I finally got my credit for the Wild Thing (this was my third visit there). It's an Arrow Loop and Corkscrew, and I knew it was going to be a rough ride, so I braced myself while riding. It still hurt like hell though, with the jerky transistions and constant headbanging. The only smooth part of the ride was the loop. The Wild Thing at Wild Waves wins my award for roughest coaster I've ridden.
TXmisfit Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Ok, I've avoided the "Texas Giant" for the five years I've lived in Dallas, from all the headache warnings I've heard, and this weekend I finally rode it, Honestly, it has to be the biggest piece of crap ever built, Pretty yes, huge and impressive, yes, but I wonder if the designers ever took into consideration that human beings were actually going to ride it! What a waste of lumber, they could have saved so many trees, and just beat me silly with one plank! While nursing the chunk of flesh it took out of my knuckle, and the general violent all over body trauma, I said "Well, now that I have the credit, I never EVER have to ride it again" It figures, Texas Giant is a big GIANT pain in my everything!
silvercrew1 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Mine would probably have to be Cyclone at Six Flags New England. When you sit in the back there is a "kink" in the first hill that launches you out of your seat as you go over. You get thrown to the side as well as out of your seat. It may be rough but I love it.
socalMAN123 Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 The former Psyclone. Nothing can beat that piece of crap. ---Brent
gk Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Wood: Georgia Cyclone, in back seat. Beats the crap out of you. Steel: Flashback SFMM - gone but not missed.
Flya Pelican Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Hurricane at Adventureland Long Island, Farmingdale. It's CRAZY!!! IT's so much fun, but the amount of head banging, arm bruises, damn that thing can put you in so much pain. Not to mention the person on the right side looks as though you're going to hit the pole every turn- seriously. So the right passenger always puts his head in and gives ME more damage LOL!
dragonskeep Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 " It's not the biggest, it's not the fastest, but it's definitely the meanest." The Texas Cyclone Or maybe Wiener Looping, coming back through the station gave me a pretty good smack.

The Texas Cyclone Or maybe Wiener Looping, coming back through the station gave me a pretty good smack. I rode the Wiener Looping at Flamingo Land the day after a heavy drinking session....I greyed out (shouldn't have ridden it 5 times in a row!) It was the best feeling ever, I love Schwarzkopf coasters, I miss them terribly, the only one close to me is "Enigma" at Pleasurewood Hills, which quite frankly sucks Andrew "Bring back Schwarzkopfs!"

ETapley0687 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Son of Beast is the roughest coaster I've ever been on! lol I thought The Legened and Voyage were rough... SOB almost put my heart to rest lol.
MikeyMigraine Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Hydra at Dorney Park. I don't get why it's so ruff. It's really quiet though (I know it's filled with sand) so I could complain about how much it sucked to my friend while riding.
JamesMC Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Son Of Beast hands down- esp. the second helix---ouch! (when I rode it last- it still had a loop and the ride up thru the loop wasn't bad)- but that ending was a killer. The Boss at SFSTL is Rough, BUT I still enjoy the ride. However, I don't sit back further than 3rd car and Always on the left side. Riding it like this is still bouncy BUT fun. I can actually re-ride this 4 or 5 times before the bruising sets in. Oh yeah, Manhattan Express is terrible after the first two drops. Tear it down and try again.
rcdude Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 For a steel coaster, I would say the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland, especially when you aren't holding on. On a wooden coaster, it is definitely the Ghostrider at Knott's Berry Farm.
dragonskeep Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 I always heard Gwazi was really rough, but I found myself needing to ride a wooden coaster badly so off I went. My rides on the Lion side were fun actually and I figured it's reputation was not deserved...however, the afternoon ride on the Tiger side was awful. I have never come off a coaster hating it except for that time. It sucked. I was actually pissed about it. Maybe I was over a bad wheel or something. I really cant overstate how painful and just pointless it seemed. Someone should go to hell for that.
topthrillmaverick Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Wild Beast at Canada's Wonderland. Ouch, that was the roughest ride I have ever been on. Getting off of it I had a throbbing headache and almost fell over I was so rattled. I will never go on that again.
ElToroGirl84 Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Usually on this board I would say wildcat(at hershey) was the roughest but I think Great amercian scream machine at SFGAdv takes the cake on this one, I never knew one could get beat up literally by a coaster before, Ouch!
supertrooper Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Either Son of Beast or Rattler at SFFT. Texas Giant isn't far behind.
