How painful is Manhattan Express at NYNY for You?

Oh now I know how horrible it is...

[DoinItForTheFame]

Rode it a few years ago, and it really was not *THAT* bad. I mean it was rough, yes. But I feel like it gets so much negative attention for being "OMG, THIS IS THE MOST ROUGH COASTER EVER MADE! BURN IT TO THE GROUND!!" When really, it is not that bad. Yes, its rough, and yes you get some head banging, but it does not deserve the amount "hate" that it gets.

 

Did I enjoy it? Yes. Will I ride it again? Yes. Do I think it is an amazing roller coaster? No. But it can still be enjoyable. However, this is just my opinion, and I am probably in the minority here.

^ I don't know what to tell you. I've been on about 1,500 roller coasters and it's consistently one of the worst I've ridden. Maybe you just have a higher tolerance to things that suck?

[Mrlittle]

It's a painful coaster. If you have to ride it which I don't suggest. There are coupons out there. Save some money at least. Better yet just put the $14 you would pay to ride in a slot machine and do max bet. Once you lose it all, say well that suck. That's how you feel after riding the coaster.

Many coasters that people find intolerantly rough, I just find painfully boring. This is one of them. I live in Vegas, and I have been dragged on this thing more times than I care to admit.

 

It's rough, but I've never found it painful. What I do find it is dull. Average drops, boring vertical loop and then the worst mid course this side of Flight Of Fear. It grabs so hard that it barely makes the second half, and those end bunny hops do absolutely nothing.

 

People talk about the roughness, but to me it's just a nothing ride.

I have always chosen to skip ME. The price of the ride along with its scathing reviews have diminished any interest in it. Though I feel I should do it anyways as some sort of right of passage.

[JeromyL]

^^^^. ROFL. Right of passage. I'm game

[Philrad71]

It is really like anything else in Vegas: Disgustingly overpriced, fun in parts but overall not a great experience.

Rode it once. One of the worst coasters on the planet. Will never ride again.

 

Plus it's expensive, and takes money away from spending it on all the awesome food in Vegas.

Lets see, prostate exam or Roller Coaster at NYNY. That's easy, I'll take the prostate exam.

And regardless of the roughness, the ride has awful pacing. The ride is basically over once you hit the MCBR. That's the main reason I avoid Manhattan Express: it's so clunky and the second half is so stupidly slow!

[gerstlaueringvar]

I guess this has a lot to do with TOGO using the center of two rails as the axis of twisting. At least Arrow loopers use one of the rails as axis which is closer to heartline. But how they managed to make a loop rough is still a mystery...

[Jwhee]

I'd have to say painful like death.. Was worse than almost every woodie I've been on, only more-painful woodie had to of been the Georgia Cyclone

[CPmillenia94]

^^Togo's have some straight up heartlining during their rolls though..

Exactly, there are better things to spend money on like strippers!

That is indeed pretty weird, it's like putting a heartline roll on an old style Arrow Looper.

^^I can understand you Robb

I'm also wondering that three took Super Smooth!! I took it as an option to look if someboade even tries to vote it, and three people did!
