thecoasterdude Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 What is your least favorite B&M coaster that you have been on?
MrSum1_55 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Vortex (CGA). I think this wins the thread. An honorable mention goes out to Scream at SFMM. I have no idea how a new-ish B&M turned out as rough as this one.
BuffaloWingRider Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Been on? Batman: The Ride or Rougarou My opinion on the worst out there? I guess Vortex but there isn't really any bad coasters by B&M. Seems like a bad thread in my opinion.
DorneyKid14 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 least favorite would have to be either Great Bear or Green Lantern @ SFGA.
chickenbowl Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Out of the 47 B&Ms I've ridden: Least Favorite: Vortex - Carowinds Most Disappointing: Wild Eagle - Dollywood I dislike every stand up I've ridden.
Angle O. Descent Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Any smaller stand-up like Vortex @ Carowinds, Apocalypse @ SFAm, and Le Cobra @ LaRonde (I don't care what people think, I say it's a B&M) are the worst I've been on.
thrillseeker4552 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Scream at SFMM. Mantis and Riddler's are also a little on the rougher side, but nothing comes close to the extreme B&M rattle on Scream. I feel like if SFMM were to just thoroughly repair or rebuild at least one train, the ride would improve a lot. But even with its "makeover" for Twisted Colossus, it still feels exactly the same as before. And it's unfortunate because Scream's layout, while standard and a little lackluster, is actually decently forceful and fun if it didn't rattle your brain to pieces.
mpmbee Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Green Lantern at Great Adventure for me, after the first drop that ride was just awful. The standup at Carowinds wasn't much fun either.
djcoastermark Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Apocalypse at SF America gets my vote.
boldikus Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Apocalypse at SF America gets my vote. I'll 2nd that.
Password121 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 ^Came here to say exactly that. It makes Green Lantern seem as smooth as Nitro with how rough parts of it are. For such a slow coaster that has very few intense moments, it really finds ways to say f*** you whenever convenient.
YoshiFan Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Hydra, it rattles almost the entire ride and is almost completely forceless.
viking86 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I haven't been on any bad B&M's, so I'll have to say Batman @ SFNE, simply because it's the most forgettable of the B&M's I have ridden.
coaster1000 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Scream @ SFMM. Not because it's really *bad* (I found some of the 'bad' B&M's like Mantis to be quite forceful and interesting even it wasn't that comfortable) but because it's just totally mediocre in every way. Unoriginal layout, not very smooth, quite forceless and very ugly over that parking lot... And the fact that it stands in a park with so many spectacular coasters doesn't make it better.
rcjp Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Mantis I'd like to see how rougarou rides now.
Ed Farmer Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Superman Ultimate Flight. Gatesleeper and Led Zeppelin are distant runners-up; they're nothing to write home about, either.
coasterer Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 I'll echo, the Vortex models at CGA and Carowinds are both terrible. Iron Wolf used to be my favorite as a kid, but it later became miserable (haven't ridden it at SFA). And Green Lantern is awful too. I don't know what happened, I remember liking it as Chang. Built over that parking lot too, with that awful garish green super hero theme - pass. I don't have much love for SFNE's Batman either. I actually don't mind Scream.
mike541x Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Apocalypse at SF America gets my vote. I'll 2nd that. 3rd! Easily the worst B&M I've been on.
viking86 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Superman Ultimate Flight. Yeah, I need to change my answer to this. I thought Batman @ SFNE was the most forgettable B&M I had ridden, but SUF was so forgettable I had forgotten it existed.
michaellynn4 Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Iron Wolf / Apocalypse. Effing terrible.
n1ch0las Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Lot of hate for B&M Standups in this thread, but a lot of hate for how forceless B&Ms are in other threads. In my opinion, B&M standups are easily the most intense ones out there, and when you ride them in the front row they are really great fun. The Superman clones are my choice for this question. They are boring, overrated (meaning long wait times) and generally give me a headache.
ScreaminNewEngland Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 Apocalypse SFA without a doubt. It is one of the worst coasters that I have ever ridden, not sure why people are complaining about Scream......come ride this and think about that again.
snapfordakids Posted December 28, 2015 Posted December 28, 2015 S:UF! The ride experience would be better if they trains just flew back into the station after the pretzel loop.
