Joe Cool Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I'd say the bottom of Manhatten Expresses first drop killed me but the rest was ok.
MF310ryb Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Well since Viper at SFGADV is no longer not sure if we can count that but that was the worst ever. Flashback at SFMM one time only never do it again. If you don't know how to ride the Arrow Loopers they can give you a nice beating. Same with the Vekoma rides. I though X was smooth when I was on it January 03'. CoasterCrazy has it gotten rough since then?
socalMAN123 Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Viper @ SFMM- Even though I enjoy this ride very much, and the last ride I had on it was actually really smooth, it is overrall a pretty bumpy ride. Why, oh why, did they add the trim brakes? Psyclone @ SFMM- I got off with a huge headache, my neck hurting really bad, and my butt so numb it felt like it was with a bunch of dry ice for three hours. Geez, I hate that ride. ---Brent 8)
ctrdave Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 1. psyclone- SFMM 2. roller coaster- Lagoon, UT 3. Judge Roy Scream- SFoT The worst steel coaster for me was Viper at SFMM when I was like 9 and barely 4 feet tall. Its better now that my head isnt between the OTSR's.
FlyingScooter Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Honestly speaking: The roughest coaster i've ever been on is: Memphis Kiddie park's L'll Dipper. When i had to ride that thing when my kids were younger, I always came off it with major back pain. Even GL/SFWOA/GL Serial Thriller was cake compared to that.
verticalzero Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 "Turbo" (Steel Coaster) on Brighton Pier UK is very rough, you head gets thrown left to right when you come out of the loop.
coastakid Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Super Flying Coaster at Playland Park and Mega Zeph at some what standing but not operating SFNO
DejaVu4Life Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Georgia Cyclone wins hands down. The most painful coaster I've ever been on.
mark.w Posted September 30, 2005 Author Posted September 30, 2005 Silver Star is quite rough as for B&M. Rougher than EGF and Goliath.
X Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Definitley Flashback! I HATE Flashback! I got bruised in two spots on my head from that ride and a headache that lasted for 10 days!!!!!!! Kevin"A spinning coaster could easily replace Flashback!"Bujold
philthephorce Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 The only rough coaster experience I've had that's worth complaining about is my last ride (trust me, ride is hardly the qualitative word for what went on...) on Mean Streak. For some inexplicable reason, I LEANED BACK (a huge No-no) in the valley after the first dip. To make a long story short, I got off with a headache, and mild nausea. For several weeks after, I still got frequent headaches...but I'm all better now.
smells_like_team_disney Posted October 1, 2005 Posted October 1, 2005 Psyclone at SFMM, without a doubt. That thing is a torture machine. And last time I rode Ghostrider at Knott's, it really beat me up. So sad when a once-great coaster starts to deteriorate.
niiicolaaah Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 Still haven't met one that i would never ride again. Just crazy I guess. My crap list: Tomb Raider - PCW Top Gun - PCW AMEN. tomb raider is the worst ride ever IMO.. those cages are freakin awful. and, not to mention, you have to strain your neck to look up to look straight ahead... ugh! We called it "Womb Raider" because we think it made us all sterile! And I agree with Top Gun except when I went this year it was smooth and fast! go figure!
niiicolaaah Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 oh yeah... and the kiddy vekoma inverts... ouch!
coasterpro4.3 Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 I would have to say iron wolf at sfgam, definately one of the roughest, especially on the ears!!!
Red Benny Posted October 2, 2005 Posted October 2, 2005 The Cyclone at SFNE. The back seat throws you into the lapbar really hard after the first drop. I don't think I've even been on a coaster where I've been in that much pain the entire ride.
David0069151 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 What would you rank the top 10 roughest coasters in the us/uk... i dont know what you would rank as you have been on way more than me but yeah Thanks

CedarPoint27 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 ^ I have to agree with you, with all my experiences on Gatekeeper i thought it was very smooth. With all the criticism this coaster gets it makes me feel like i rode it on an extremenly good day.

With all the criticism this coaster gets it makes me feel like i rode it on an extremenly good day. I think a big part of the criticism is where the coaster is located and what symbolizes set the expectations far too high. People expected GateKeeper to be just as OMG awesome as CP's last 3 coasters, which not only would be nearly impossible, but isn't what it was built for. People complain its forceless and has no airtime, then go ride Maverick.
thrillrider Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 1. Mean streak 2. The boss 3. Wildcat(lake compounce) 4. Hurler 5. Timber wolf 6.Any coaster at Mt Olympus 7. Gwazi 8. Mighty Canadian mindbuster 9. Any togo standup coaster
megametal Posted April 8, 2014 Posted April 8, 2014 Most of the roughest ones I've ridden (been to 27 parks) have been demolished. (Hurricane at Myrtle Beach Pavilion, GASM at SFGAdv, Son of Beast at KI, Rolling Thunder at SFGAdv, Viper at SFGAdv, Two-Face at SFA on which I majorly chipped a tooth. So I'll leave those out.) Great American Scream Machine (SFOG) MInd Eraser (SFA) Timber Wolf (Worlds of Fun) Shockwave (KD) Hurler (KD) Ninja (SFOG) Mean Streak (Cedar Point) Anaconda (KD) Hurler (Carowinds) - This was always in worse shape than KD's but I hear it's much better this year
