Guest rcfreak339 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 What is the worst roller coaster you have ever been on, EVER! Well last summer our family went to Las Vegas and we did everything!, the shows, resturants and the most fun roller coasters! First we took a nice walk to the adventure dome and it was pretty awsome I loved Canyon Blaster. But after that we took another walk to the New York, New York Hotel and casinio and rode Manhatten Express and it SUCKED! The part after the dive loop was the worst whiplash I have ever had on a roller coaster and its not worth $12.50 to ride unless it comes with a bottel of Pain Killers! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Seriously. Overrated. Boring. Would rather ride Fairly Odd Coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Sorry to say it, SoB with the loop in 2000. That was the only coaster that I have been on that after riding, the wife and I sat at the German Beer garden for a good hour recovering from SAS (shaken adult syndrome).

iChase Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 [pic snipped] Seriously. Overrated. Boring. Would rather ride Fairly Odd Coaster. I think you may be right. It was very short and boring. It's definitely overhyped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOB_TOM Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I would have to say that The looping Star at Beech Bend. Seriously, after seeing a cup of ice not taken off of a ride that goes upside down and then being as rough as a steel can be, I probabily wont ride it.

WooferBearATL Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Of all the parks that I've been to and all the coasters I've ridden, yes, Kings Island's SOB has that honor. I've not ridden in since the loop was removed. I honestly can't say that I ever will ride it again. The last time I road the ride my neck and back hurt for almost a week. It was hands down the most painful and miserable coaster I've ever been on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DropZone99 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Every summer i visit family down in Atlanta, and we visit SFOG. Towards the back of the park is the mos horrible, jerky, headbanger in the world! It's Ninja! It's by far the worst coaster ever made!

Touchdown Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Worst Steel: Tie, Flashback @ SFOT and Ultra Twister @ SFAW. The former is just your standard Verkoma Boomerang, however on the forwards trip through the batwing element my OTSR slammed down two or three clicks on me giving me causing me excruciating back pain, felt someone had stuck me with a huge pin. The latter I really had to squeezed down into because I was nearly too tall to ride, of course shifting on the first drop caused that same pain. Worst Wood: The Rattler @ SFFT. Five words: Never ending helix of pain. Just imagine the rosebowl with the loop, except longer and more rough (even if it was slower.) Funny the three Texas SF have housed my worst rides, even though I know the boomerang issue was only a fluke when I go back to SFOT (and I will I like that park) Ill never ride that ride again. As for Rattler, if they need someone to burn the only blight that wonderful park has, I have my torch ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 my least favorite roller coaster would have to be cedar creek mine ride at Cedar Point. i don't even think it got over ten miles an hour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, I don't think Ninja is all that different than Vortex. (All be it, Vortex has a nicer setting.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Butcher Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The worst Roller Coaster that I have ever been on is Cedar Creek Mine Ride at Cedar Point. That thing, isn't even really themed all that well, about the only theming is the rustic wood supports. It is very rough as well. Second is the Georgia Cyclone, but my favorite is a toss-up between Montu and Kumba at Busch Gardens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welchce Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Heres a Video of the Manhatten Express posted by TPR about a year ago. LOL! This is proof of how bad this ride really is! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ky1eDX7PmA Haha yeah, I've seen that before. I love it in the middle when he just goes through a flurry of random expletives. SoB is inhumanely rough. It would probably get my vote if I wasn't so young and my body can still take it's wraith. I actually consider it kind of fun; just getting the _ _ _ _ beat out of me. I would have to agree that CCMR is one of the most lame coasters ever. Also, I didn't have that exciting of a ride on Mean Streak (it seemed to be going kind of slow and I didn't experience any roughness). And then with Raven, it's an okay ride just really really really short. Definitely not as good as some people think (doesn't deserve #7 in the world / doesn't deserve to be in front of The Beast IMO). In conclusion, worst = CCMR (since I haven't been on Manhattan Express) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Nemo Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 This took me a while to think of one. I am the kind of person who does not rate coasters. I don't have a favorite or least favorite. I have never been on a coaster in which I hated but if I had to choose, it would be the spiral coaster at the now defunct Lotte World Sky Plaza. This park was at the top of a skyscraper and had two coasters. Yes it was a pipeline coaster and it opened just before we left for America. It was not technically a bad ride but it was a ride you would not want to ride twice in a row. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corn4ahead Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 the worst coaster by far is Timber Wolf at Worlds of Fun...that thing shakes you like no other and it gives you the worst headache. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I would have considered SOB one of the worst with the old trains and the loop. However in 2006 when they removed a car and did a lot of track work it was a fairly good ride and now with the new trains and no loop it's no more rougher than The Beast. With as much speed as you get in the area where the loop used to be I think a tunnel there would really spice up the ride and give it more of a throwback to The Beast. These days I think SOB is a decent ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clbehymer Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 ^ I have to agree. I do miss the loop, but I'll take no loop over the insane pain that it caused anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
towerkid Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Its Sad To Say But In My Opinion, I Will Ride Son of Beast With The Steal Coaster Trains And The Loop (Before The Modifications) Instead Of Riding Ninja At SFOG Again.....That Ride Was The Worst Ride Ever In History. I Was In So Much Pain. What The Hell Was Vekoma Thinking? I Also Prefer To Ride The Chang At Kentucky Kingdom Instead of The Mantis At Cedar Point. It's the Mirror Image of The Mantis But With An Extra Corkscrew And The Ride Seems To Be So Much Smoother Than The Mantis.......I'm All About Smoothness LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Thunder Hawk at Geauga Lake. Why Thunderhawk? While I have never been on Thunderhawk I have been on its clones, specifically 'The Mind Eraser' at Six Flags America. I enjoyed that one.

TOPGUN1993 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 It must of been where I sat because I experienced head banging, and I made a note to myself that was my least favorite GL ride. It really wasn't that bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 For me it would have to be Mean Streak after it was trimmed. I got to ride when it was still new and wow is it a different coaster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoddaH1994 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 The Countdown: 4 - Looping Star, Beech Bend, Bowling Green KY - As SOB_TOM stated, they wouldn't take my cup of ice. They told me to take it with me on the ride. Yeah, it ended up all over the rides behind me. It's more or less a Galaxy coaster with a loop. During part of the helix finale, the train lightly strikes the ground. When you are slammed into the final brake run, the OTSRs release and go into an upright position immediately, hitting most riders in the head. When returning to the station, the train strikes the fence every time. A total piece of garbage. 3 - Mean Streak, Cedar Point, Sandusky OH - Big, tall, painful, and stupid. Everyone on the train was writhing in pain at the final brake run. One of the most uncomfortable rides I've ever been on. 2 - Son of Beast (circa 2005), Kings Island - The track work got worse and worse until hitting a pinnacle in 2005 when I could only ride it once a month or so. Every time I'd ride, I got a shooting pain in my rib cage while going down into the final dip. I'm not sure why. Many people would wait to ride this until the end of the day because they'd commonly get headaches. Fortunately, after the improvements, new trains, and reopening on July 4th of last year, the ride is a thousand times better. It may not have a loop, but it's not a fun ride again. 1 - Villain, Geauga Lake, Aurora OH - One of the most painful experiences I have ever had on a coaster. You'd get an instant of air time before the weight of the world crashing down on you at the bottom of each hill. Ronny and I insisted on riding it twice in order to torture the other members of our group. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor66 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Hmmm, there really aren't any coasters I don't like but i guess if I had to choose maybe CCMR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 First off, let me just say that I adore Villain and SoB. It gives you the "Out of Control, gonna die" feeling that really thrills me. I hate to point out coasters, or even rides, that I dislike. If I don't like a ride I get off and say, "well, I don't really like that one." And I just don't ride it. But if I must then I must. I really don't prefer Flight of Fear. It is a fun ride, but it gets real old to fast. Something you ride once and don't ride again till you forget what happens on the ride.

XGatorHead 8904 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Steel: Outer Limits: Flight of Fear. I listed the old name because I'm referring to when it was known as that and had the OTSRs. And I do rate that experience as worse than Manhattan Express, which was rough as well. Today Flight of Fear is a great ride. Wood: Mean Streak. The only coaster I have ever sworn never to ride again. I broke that promise when I went with a friend a few years ago who had not been to CP in decades, but wanted to ride it despite my warnings. He soon agreed with me, and I renewed my vow once again after foolhardily ignoring my own advice for the benefit of my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiSab Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 For me, CCMR. I can't fit on it anymore. The trains are just too darn small. And for the record, I loved Raven. I thought that it was a great ride, especially in the back of the train. The airtime on the dive into the woods was amazing. And just flying through the woods was quite the experience.
