Superbatboy Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Furius Bacofeels like the wing of the train could snap off at any time. Well it is an Intamin, so anything's possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The49er Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 Roar and Kong at SFDK, as well as parts of CGA's Demon. I found no trouble with the Boomerang for whatever reason. Heck, might as well add Matterhorn Bobsleds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. M Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) Lucky me, the only ride I've ridden that's really terribly rough is Wildcat at Hershey (I love it anyway). Rolling Thunder wasn't that rough when I rode it, the very last day of its operation. I didn't think Meanstreak was too bad at all either, the roughest coaster at Cedar Point is easily Corkscrew.

thesman Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 My top 3 are, Rolling thunder before it was removed, ghost rider and the cyclone at knots. Every one says mean streak at cedar point is rough but when i went on it, it was barley rough at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYZ Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Since I just got my Canyon Blaster (Adventuredome) credit today, might as well put it on this thread as it is really rough and hard on your neck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingleRiderCam Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I should go ahead and say La Vibora at Six Flags Over Texas. This ride beats the crap out of your knees and elbows. I'll just hope that I have a better experience on the other bobsled coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berryfarm Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Matterhorn at Disneyland. Ghostride at knott's berry farm. Riddler's revenge at six flags magic mountain. Not coaster Jet Stream at six flags magic mountain. this is roughest flume ride ever been on, I thought go be smooth ride boy i was wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaMarkSta Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Rode Hurler last weekend at Carowinds, thought it was a great experience, granted I was in the front of the train but found it to be fairly smooth. Mean Streak is by far the most brutal coaster I've ever been on. I will hold out hope that it can get the RMC treatment someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually really miss it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBrylczyk Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 I'm surprised that I'm the first person in the thread to bring up Gouderix. That thing was awful (as demonstrated here). Gouderix was pretty bad, but honestly once you're through the butterfly element it isn't any worse than an Arrow looper. That first unholy inversion and the butterfly are outrageously bad, though.

coasterbill Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Jet Stream at six flags magic mountain. this is roughest flume ride ever been on, I thought go be smooth ride boy i was wrong. Out of curiosity, how many flumes have you been on? Personally I've never heard of a rough flume and thought Jet Stream was a pretty standard, enjoyable ride that we rode four times on our visit last year (2 double rides thanks to the Platinum Flash Pass). What about it would you consider rough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ScreaminNewEngland Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 These have all induced a headache: The Rattler Wildcat at Lake Compounce Mean Streak Texas Giant right before the redo Son of Beast Hercules Rolling Thunder Excalibur at Funtown/Splashtown If you say Excalibur at Funtown is a rough coaster than you don't know rough. That is a fairly smooth coaster with very little shaking. Canobie Corkscrew can be pretty bad but last season it was running much better. Wildcat at lake compounce is just garbage, it's not even an ounce of fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djboss302 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Here are some of the roughest ones I've been on: -Mean Streak, Cedar Point -Demon, Six Flags Great America -Corkscrew, Cedar Point -Voyage, Holiday World -Iron Wolf, Six Flags Great America (good riddance) -Mantis, Cedar Point -Every single coaster at Mt. Olympus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai Fox Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 Wildcat at lake compounce is just garbage, it's not even an ounce of fun. Might want to give Wildcat another shot, it's been retracked pretty much start to finish, and reprofiled in a few places. Whole new ride now, and it's gone from a painful mess to a great little coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thrillseeker4552 Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 -GhostRider (KBF). Even though I ride it on almost every visit, it is getting very rough. I'd love to see the crew that worked at Carowinds come to Knott's. -Blue Streak (CP). It has loads of airtime, but it surely smacks you around. Magnum XL-200 (CP). Again, it has tons of airtime but gives a very bouncy, rough ride. Jaguar (KBF). This is definitely the worst family coaster at Knott's. It's uncomfortable, rough, long, and boring.

rcjp Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 -Blue Streak (CP). It has loads of airtime, but it surely smacks you around. I didn't find it terribly rough but I do remember riding it just after a nice meal and I could feel my stomach bouncing about a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CPSFMMCW Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 -Wildcat, Hersheypark -Anaconda, Kings Dominion -Dominator(last half), Kings Dominion -Mind Eraser, Six Flags America -Roar(kinda), Six Flags America -Rolling Thunder, Six Flags Great Adventure -Son Of Beast, Kings Island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 -Dominator(last half), Kings Dominion Even if you think Dominator is rough (which it's not), is it really so rough that you're grouping it in with those other coasters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ridden Dominator more times than any other coaster. The last half gives you a headache. And I wasn't listing those rides in order of roughness, just in order of when I thought of them. I have been to KD so many times that at this point, Dominator isn't in the top 3, and is probably number 5 in the park. Dominator is one of the rougher B&M's. After the mid course break run, those interlocking corkscrews are rough. Trust me, I've probably ridden it more than you, so I know what I'm talkin about. But I was just listing some of the roughest I've been on, and it just so happens that the last half of the ride makes the list. I'm only counting the last half. The first part of the ride is fine.

coasterbill Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 I never said you didn't know what you were talking about, but I'm surprised that you'd consider it so rough that it belonged in the same category as those other rides which are all horrible. I've ridden Dominator quite a bit myself (thanks in part to that awesome ERT session with TPR 2 years ago), the most recent being last October and I've never found it rough. In my opinion, even B&M's that have a little rattle are generally nowhere near as rough as rides like Mind Eraser... that was my point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcjp Posted April 17, 2014 Share Posted April 17, 2014 The thing is, sometimes, a coaster might not be so rough but because of the restraints, it seems rougher. I'm not doubting you've had rough rides on dominator at all. It's just that B&M OTSR allow for very little roughness, I mean, it is not necessary for a ride with those to be very rough for it to be uncomfortable due to how close they are to your head. Most of us (me including) tent to think of discomfort rather than actual shakiness. So as many wooden coasters have rather "loose" lapbars it will require a lot more roughness to start feeling some pain. Mantis, for example, is very uncomfortable, but I feel that, in terms of "pure roughness" it is not as bad as other rides like Blue Streak that, because of the type of restraints, kind of make people "forgive it". Hope I've made myself clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrbuzz Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 Hmmm let's see, Gwazi and all the wood coasters at Canada's Wonderland except for their junior woodie. I never had my teeth rattled as much as what I experienced on those. I would love to see the Rocky Mountain treatment on Gwazi but we all now know its days are numbered.
