Going through all of this topic, I have seen few speak of Space 2000 at Gyeongju World in South Korea. That must be one HELL of a bad ride to be that obscure and be talked about a few times by those who have ridden many coasters all over the world. What were others opinions on it that may have gone on it in 2007? http://www.rcdb.com/1403.htm

 

My vote for wood is no doubt for Georgia Cyclone. Steel, Sidewinder at Hersheypark, my least favorite boomerang. Worse than Knotts' I thought!

[The Big So-So]

I just rode on Scream! at SFMM for the first time in over a year, and I was reminded why I stopped riding it. It is the only coaster in the park that I consider pretty much unrideable. I can ride X2, Viper and Revolution without pain, but Scream!'s constant vibrating kills my head every time, and there's nothing I can do to prevent it (except not going on it in the first place).

Gotta go with Rattler, closely followed by Texas Giant. I've rarely ever wanted to jump off a coaster mid ride, but I think doing that would have been a more desirable option than finishing either coaster.

Whirlwind at Knoebel's and Sidewinder at Hershey are (was, in Whirlwind's case) torture chambers.

[slither37]

SOB for sure

 

But I also find The Beast very rough and rarely ride that.

[hansrubens]

Anaconda at Walygator parc by far. It is the most painful wooden coaster I've been on and it must beat Grizzly in next years poll.

Grizzly isn't too bad. At times, Mean Streak can be difficult to ride (yes, at times), but the fact that it goes on forever makes it feel even more rough.

 

The worst I have been on are Corkscrew, Scream!, Trailblazer, and Roar.

The roughest one i rode was Eurosat in EuropaPark... Extremly rough and totally under and overbanked curves, but this is what makes the ride special...in the dark you don´t know when the curves will come and you have the feeling of uncontrolled throwing around in the dark. And it even has the hardest final brake EVER! But even this is done on purpose of the park and completes the amazing ride experience... if you don`t know it here is an onride video with lights on:

The Roughest Coaster I have Been on has to be the Big Dipper at blackpool PleasureBeach. That Drop underneath the pathway after the turn around really surprised me! A good coaster, but rough!

 

The roughest brake system I have been on has to be Enigma at PleasureWood Hills. I don't remeber but I think it was a 2 metre Brake Run which Curved round the Corner or something???

[KeSteven]

I love Texas Giant. Probably one of my most favourite rides there is.

[Columbia]

Anything built by Summers and Dinn.

 

Plus Grizzly, SOB, Twisted Sisters (Twins) and Psyclone (SFMM)

I got a shockingly rough ride on El Toro a few weeks ago in the front car. I've been riding El Toro every year since opening but on this day it was running so out of control that it was painful. Huge punch to the gut before the crest of the second hill and if you didn't lead your head into the twisty curves it was almost whiplash. First time I've ever seen so many riders crying or wishing they hadn't ridden after the ride was over. Almost as if the train was running too fast, the ejector air was painful. Maybe this was just a fluke since I would never have considered El Toro rough before, I just hope it doesn't get worse!

[FeelTheFORCE]

Both Mean Streak and Blue Streak at Cedar Point are giving some pretty bad rides this year.

I never understood why people considered Twisted Twins painful, especially considering it was at the same park as Thunder Run & T2

[tt.repo.man]

My biggest headache came from Hershey's Wildcat.

[6flagsbrad]

The only coasters to give me a hard time are

Psyclone and Revolution at Magic Mountain, and Vortex at Great America.

[aimster]

Gwazi at Busch Gardens. When I rode it last year, I could still feel my brain rattling around in my head an hour later. Had a MONSTER migraine after riding that SOB. Never again.

[imawesome1124]

Hurler at KD. It was rough as hell last time I rode it. I came off of it thinking "Oh God why did I do that?"

[Pingu1651]

Both Mean Streak and Blue Streak at Cedar Point are giving some pretty bad rides this year but Pingu1651 loves them.

 

How'd you know? Actually, Blue Streak isn't that bad. I ride back seat everytime and I rarely feel roughness. Maybe that's because it has more airtime than Millennium Force and that's all I'm focused on...

[The Celtic Warrior]

Revolution at SFMM

[Jerrykoala2112]

Shockwave at Kings Dominion really ruined my day.

[davisal771]

Twister II, Which isn't that bad.
