Imhotep Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Python at BGT... Most of the time I go there, its not even running. The ride time is all of about 10 seconds, and I bang my head worse than most of the concerts I go to. Its a POS!! Who cares if its a classic! It should be nixed. Come to think of it, GASM in SFGAdv and Anaconda in PKD need to get axed as well!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
socalMAN123 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Boomerang @ KBF sucks! 1. You can't put your hands up 2. It's the freakin roughest ride I've been on 3. There's no forces at all! ---Brent 8) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DATman Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Psyclone needs to be burned! It is downright one of the most painful woodies that I've been on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Crikey - it is hard work trying not to leap to the defence of some of the previous coasters mentioned, but good to see everyone is taking this in true - Vent it whatever- spirit. 8) I hate 'X'. the first drop is brilliant and thereafter, I may as well be in a washing machine - don't know if I'm upside down, high, low - negative G or not. Tries to hard to be all things to all dudes and just fails massively. Steve- glad I got that off my chest-C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncf Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 There is no coaster I hate or wouldn't ride (I'm a real coaster enthusiast), but there are coasters I would stand in a long line for, or ride again... Any coaster is still better that sitting at home looking at pictures of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Colossus @ Thorpe park. Its vibrating like crazy, hitting the restraints with your head hurts like hell because they are so freakin hard, the layout is not very interesting and the ride sounds like a car-crash. Zamperla Volare coasters are horrible. I rode the one at Prater park this summer and it really threw me around. And I was in an inside-seat (well there isnt really any 'seats' on that ride) The 2 RCCA woodies I rode in Spain, Wild Wild West (now Coaster Express) and Magnus Colossus, were also awful. Both rides were really boring, had absolutely no airtime at all and MC was also quite rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel127 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Hydra @ Dorney Park. It has no forces or airtime, its so smooth you could practically fall asleep. Even though Hercules was rough Imo it was still way more entertaining than Hydra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Yankee Guy Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Cyclone at SFNE. Only coaster I can not put my hands up for fear of getting killed. That thing just abuses you, so I rarely go on it. Any Boomerang, makes me on the verge of blacking out. Meaning I get that black circle thingy in my vision. Kingda Ka, It's not that I hate it, I just think it is very overrated. Yeah, it's nice to have the worlds tallest and fastest coaster only 3hrs away from me, compared to 12hrs (TTD at CP), the launch is amazing and stuff but they over-hyped on the "airtime" hill where you don't get anything.

Scaparri Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Great American Scream Machine (SFOG)- What is it about this ride that people like so much!? It is one of the worst rides I've ever been on. The layout is quite boring, the airtime is just meh, if even existant, and for what it is, this ride is much more rough than it needs to be. To top it off, I felt the brake run for the next 3 days. The one good pop of airtime happened to be on the brake run so I slammed into the seat in front of me. Maybe I just had a bad day on it. Maybe it's a waste of pretty scenery. American Eagle- This thing is a heap of junk. The drop and the first couple of bunny hills are great, and then you hit that idiotic helix that completely kills the ride. The rest of the ride is dull and brake-raped. Not to mention, dumbest trains ever. Seriously, are the side guards THAT necessary? This thing could make a lot of nice picket fences, and a nice space for some major rides.

dc006f5086 Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Colossus @ Thorpe park. Its vibrating like crazy, hitting the restraints with your head hurts like hell because they are so freakin hard, the layout is not very interesting and the ride sounds like a car-crash. What the hell, how could you say that, colossus is no where near as rough as most other coasters, yes it is rough but not painful rough, and to hell it aint intense, it is intense, and forceful, and the layout is original until the heartline rolls which are amazing, colossus is one coaster that should not be gotten rid of. It is not the best but it is not the worst, it is a great coaster and many people love it, what you say is your opinion, and all im saying is your opinion is wrong.

Eagle Rider Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Space Mountain I went to Orlando with a group of students 2 years ago and was given behind the scenes access to many Disney attractions. We rode Space Mountain with the lights on and it just ruined the ride for me. It's top speed is 27 mph and it looks like a wimpy wild mouse ride when lit. When I was 6 this ride thrilled me, but the magic is gone for me now. I'm glad this family coaster exists, and I'm sure kids love it, but not me.

V2-dude Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Vekoma SLC! They don't do anything but make right turns and bang your head. And then the slack of speed, Kong at SFMW just feels like its going to valley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Johnson Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 The last row of Carowinds Hurler just beat both Leanne and I up. I will never sit in the last row of any Hurler coaster again. So it it comes time to get those other Hurler credits, I will make sure to sit in the first row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momo1tx Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I've got to get it out... ROAR! Stupid POS, hurts too much to be fun, sounds like it's trying to rip me apart. Combined with slow dispatches and a layout that should be great but isn't, it SUCKS! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V2-dude Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 ^You should ride our ROAR! at SFMW. It has better trains, dispatches quickly(the ops check the restraints in about 10 sec.) and the first drop has better air than the one at SFA.

Inferno Insane Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 I'm a other who hates Colossus (Didn’t used to till it got bad), opening year 2002 was enjoyable to ride and smooth as glass every seat and enjoyed hands up all the way (Which is quite hard now days). After lots of changes with the restraints that year, even close for near a month if I remember. God what happen from 2003 and onwards? Vibrates like crazy, looks all rusty and not well maintain (What I think ) . Now days find it repetitive after the cobra roll and gets quite boring quickly, Only time I ride is when Inferno is either down or friend who never visited before. Only best thing I like about Colossus, the general pubic seem to enjoy getting batted and ride it more than Inferno. Tonnerre de Zeus I think is overrated more than Megafobia, halfway I was getting bored due to the length as it lasts for what I think too long, and sadly didn’t get much airtime everyone raves on about. Air - Could fall a sleep on this, as this flyer bores me to death and find it dull, rather ride a much better Intense ride in the same area with good SRQ. I'm sure I got 1 or 2 more I would moan about but won't bother for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nemesis-storm Posted December 21, 2005 Share Posted December 21, 2005 Oh and please DON"T get defensive these are just peoples OPINIONS! Not a personal shout out at you! This is why I hate these kind of threads, People just get upset/angry over them. I agree & totally disagree with certain comments made on this thread, but I won't be making any comment regarding any coaster. One coaster someone hates another will love.

Krazykral10 Posted December 22, 2005 Author Share Posted December 22, 2005 LOL, I'm soo glad that everyone is taking my advice, don't you all feel batter now!? Haha, anyhow I was greatly disappointed with Hydra. It's really jerky and not B&M quality, IMO. I also don't really give a rat's @$$ about Superman: The Escape, it is not i record breaker!! Ya it is 400 ft. tall but it is on a hill! And the car BARELY makes it half way up the tower!!! And trust me, every coaster enthusiast has a coaster that they don't like. Oh and I thought there was WAY too much hype about Kingda-Ka, only 20 more fieet and 8 more mph! Whoop-de-frickin'-doo! An SFGAdv didn't even let TTD break itself in!
