atem122 Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 I really havent had a problem with it at all this year, I guess everyone has different experiences though
stuartnz Posted August 6, 2009 Posted August 6, 2009 Because now that it's smooth Viper was the second-most painful ride in the park. The restraint pretty much destroyed my upper body, and those last corkscrews nearly killed me But my brother loved it, and he was sitting next to me. I guess I have a bad body shape for it or something.
AirtimeAddict17 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I didn't get too many credits out in CA but here's my best and worst- BEST- X2 WORST- Scream
Jim1013 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Best: Space Mountain doesn't exceed 35 mph, but I have to give it my best, especially after the refurbishment. Worst: I would have to agree with Mulholland Madness. The 'wild mouse' turns are neutered by the cheesy dividers between DCA and the hotel. The ride is not worthy of Disney. It is an embarrassment.
KnottsDisneyFarm Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 ^I have to agree that Mulholland Madness is one of the worst coasters in California. I've been on it 2 times and have had no desires to do it again. It just doesn't seem special in any way.
Tmcdllr Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Best: All of the big coasters at MM with X2 being the exeption only because it is so painful on the outside. But if I have to pick one hands down it would be Tatsu. Worst: Grizzly! Slow, boring, rough. Why is this coaster still around?
coastered Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 My best and worst coasters in California?? Because I have not done that much rollercoasters in California, my list can be a bit strange for you guys. Best: * Tatsu * Riddler's Revenge * Batman The Ride * Giant Dipper (San Diego) Worst: * Grizzly * Vortex My last visit was in 2006 and X was closed back then, so I still have to do X2, Terminator, Ghostrider, Pony Express, etc and all the coasters @ SFDK
Speeddeamon128 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Best: Terminator Salvation X2 California Screamin' Goliath Medusa Demon (CGA) Xcelerator Silver Bullet Giant Dipper (San Diego) Space Mountain Worst: Grizzly Kong Ghost Rider Boomerang (Knott's) Giant Dipper (SCBB) I personally do not like the Giant Dipper at SCBB because while riding it during TPR's West Coast tour it broke my phone Also I did not enjoy it to begin with.
socalMAN123 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Best: X2 Xcelerator Terminator Salvation California Screamin Worst: Tatsu (Sorry B&M fanboys, this ride makes me sicker than anything) Ghostrider (Makes me sad that I have to put this down, but it's just TOO rough) Mullholland Madness ---Brent
KnottsDisneyFarm Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Anyone who does not like Ghost Rider now should wait until Knotts has finished refurbishing it. I have hope that it will be way smoother.
rcdude Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 I can't remember if I've posted or not, but I would say (in no particular order): Best: California Screamin' Flight Deck Goliath Invertigo Riddler's Revenge Tatsu Terminator Salvation: The Ride Space Mountain X2 Xcelerator Worst: Boomerang (Knott's) Kong Pony Express
Tmcdllr Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 ^I totally forgot about Kong..... that ride is absolutely horrible!!!
Zack44 Posted October 10, 2009 Posted October 10, 2009 Best: X2 at Magic Mountain, followed very, very closely by Goliath & Tatsu Worst: Coastersaurus at Legoland
atem122 Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Best:X2 Xcelerator Terminator Salvation California Screamin Worst: Tatsu (Sorry B&M fanboys, this ride makes me sicker than anything) Ghostrider (Makes me sad that I have to put this down, but it's just TOO rough) Mullholland Madness ---Brent I couldn't agree more with your top 4. My worst would be Pony Express Ghostrider Kong
austinlee Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 ^ I agree completely. I was just about to post that.
Mechanic Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I realize this is all just opinion, but personally, I'd put Pony Express in the "disappointing" category, rather than the "worst". The ride itself isn't bad for a family coaster, just way too short.
Skycoastin Steve Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Of the ones I rode last weekend, X2 was the best by far, and I'd say the Boomerang was the worst (as always). Can't really include kiddie or junior coasters in there.
austinlee Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 ^^ There have been many times when I have heard young children get off of Pony Express and immediately start talking about how much it sucks. Just my opinion too, but I find it short, boring and forceless. I actually have it ranked as the worst coaster I've ever rode including kiddie coasters.
cal1br3tto Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 Every kiddie coaster I have ever been on has been better than Pony Express. (Well, with some pretty obvious exceptions like Wacky Worms, Orient Expresses, and most ovals.) ^"...short, boring and forceless" is exactly how I would describe it as well.
fatdaddy Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 best: terminator, x2, excellerator worst: matterhorn (it kills my back), jaguar i think pony express gets a bad rap, i think if it was longer with a couple more turns it would be great for what it is, my daughter hasn't ridden it yet, but its her favorite cause its pony themed, they should paint it pink and name it the "my little pony express", also, ghostrider is so awesome except for the rough ride, which isn't that bad right after they do the maintenance on it, way smoother, and get worse thereafter, i think they might be able to fix it with better trains, but its not like theres any shortage of riders, so i doubt they'd spend the money
cal1br3tto Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 ^Pony Express is definitely "cute". Even as an adult, I like the trains. "If all else fails, at least I'm cute!" I don't want to over-criticize since it may well be serving its purpose well for the park, but there are definitely many coasters that size and smaller that are much more intense. Jaguar! ranks low on my list, as well.
austinlee Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 ^^^ That's what I was thinking too. The kiddie coasters I have been on at SFMM, KBF, Castle Park, Scandia and Adventure City were all better than Pony Express. The Freeway Coaster at Adventure City actually had a pretty forceful first drop which slid me across the seat when it made that first sharp right turn. I had much more fun on that one than Pony Express.
tinkerbell Posted March 26, 2010 Posted March 26, 2010 I've only been to the Norcal parks and Disney but out of those... Best: California Screamin Worst: Kong and Vortex--Grizzly may be boring but those two are more painful/uncomfortable so they win this category for me.
