Dj325 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Here's a topic where you can express your opinions on what YOU think is the "worst roller coaster you've ever ridden". And of coarse, like all opinion related discussions, please be respectful of everyone's answers, no matter how negative they are, or if they're against your favorite roller coaster. Anyways, enjoy! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixflags82 Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 My least favorite coaster would probably be Santa Monica West Coaster at Pacific Park, the layout is super boring and the ride pulls no forces, imo the only redeeming quality of the ride is its location on the ocean.

CoastersRZ Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I didn`t think the ride was that bad. I have certainly been on coasters that were far less enjoyable. The wild mouse at Lake Winnie comes to mind. My wife and I were wanting off of the ride before it was even over because of the way it was beating us up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakePlissken Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 I am so tempted to say T3 but I really think its far from the worst. The worst coaster that I have ridden that comes to mind is Invertigo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But when I rode it last year in 2020, I actually really enjoyed it! It could possibly be because I heard that in 2019, they moved the old trains from Stinger to Invertigo, which could've been the reason why it was rough that year.

Are you saying they did not use the Stinger trains in 2020? Those are green and I thought I saw it on the ride this year too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grsupercity Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Coasters like the Boss, Beast and Mean Streak are just not my cup of tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimParker85 Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Time Warp tied with Flight Deck at Wonderland. Steps away from each other! Honorable mention to Mind Eraser at Darien Lake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThrillKingsFitzy Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Overall, Southern Express at OWA. By large coasters, Twist N Shout at Family Kingdom. The worst experience however is on Thunder Run at KK because back row will staple and jackhammer you HARD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AgentSoB Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 Cedar Creek Mine Ride. It would be enjoyable if the restraint wasn't trying to reassign my gender. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted January 9, 2021 Share Posted January 9, 2021 In order; 1) Green lantern at SFMM 2) Green lantern at SFMM 3) Green lantern at SFMM Runner-ups; Gwazi, T3, Iron Wolf and every other stand up B&M 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honorarius Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Time Warp at Canada's Wonderland. Skip it and hit the funnel cake stand next to it. It's so bad, I'd ride the SLC next door twice before I ride this once. Honorable mention to Corkscrew at Cedar Point. Something about those cars/restraints just bends my spine in a very uncomfortable way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Corkscrew is short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purdude86 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I'm sure there are worse ones out there but seem to have been pretty lucky with experiences overall. T3 is probably mine though. Could not wait to get off that coaster when I rode it. It's been the only one I can think of that I have no desire to ride again. My last ride on Mean Streak shortly before it closed to make way for Steel Vengeance was pretty rough, but I would probably have still ridden it again on my next trip there still. Don't think I'll ever ride T3 again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 For steel (and overall) it has to go to the defunct Viper at NJFTP. A sitdown Togo with the worst restraints, lots of jackhammering, the most claustrophobic design with the support rings (because it had the first ever heartline roll along with an inclined dive loop, both way out of Togo's league). The replacement is much, much better. For wood, its Son of Beast post-loop removal. Boring layout made worse by removing one of the 2 best elements (the first drop was the other), and add trains not designed for it (not that the Premiers were all that much better, but the G-Trains were much, much worse, at least with the larger trains the thing had decent lateral airtime on the 2nd hill near the front of the train) and barely made it over the hills.  Also has a much better replacement.  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsus Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Easy, Mean Streak. With how violent it was, it's the only ride I've ever been glad it was over. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivertown Rider Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 The worst coaster I ever rode was Flight Deck at Wonderland, the 2nd worst coaster I ever rode was Time Warp right beside it at Wonderland. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silver2005 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I think Mean Streak is a little over hated. I liked the layout and it had some decent rides near the front on occasion. I'm a bit disappointed that I missed out on Texas Giant pre-RMC. I do understand the MS hate a bit though, it was jackhammer central most of the time.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StayPuft Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I can't say it's the worst because it is a very enjoyable coaster, but The Incredible Hulk Coaster at Islands of Adventure left me with a bad headache after riding. That thing rattles your brain like a maraca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VortexBFForever Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I do not have a worst, but back when I was just getting into roller coasters, Blue Racer was at the bottom of my list. My first ride (not sure which seat but it was probably a wheel seat) had so much roughness and jackhammering that it turned me off for a few years. That ride was in 2008 and I didn't start riding it again until 2011. Even then, I would not ride that often or would ride the Red side...until last year (2020). I had my best Racer rides ever last year. Red was still pretty good, but Blue was consistently exceeding my expectations of how smooth it was (not to mention it would also win more often ) and that gave me a whole new appreciation for Racer especially since it was my first big coaster! I rode it more last year than any other season, and I look forward to many more rides on both Blue and Red this year after the retracking! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Corkscrew is short. It's just something about the way the seat fits (or doesn't fit). When the restraint comes down, for it to come down, it bends my spine crazy weird. I'm not a crazy tall person either. It hurts before the train starts to move, it's not a roughness things. And no other Arrow I've ridden does it to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 I try and find bright spots with everything I ride but when I think of rides I don't want to ride again Voyage comes to mind. That thing beat me up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure that the headache I had after getting off the ride was so bad, if the ride's track length was double, I would probably have a migraine.  23 hours ago, flightoffear1996 said: Voyage comes to mind.

Hulk was more than a retrack. They rebuilt that ride from the ground up. It is a new credit now. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
