Most Disappointing Coaster?

Yeah, I rode it last summer, and I found it really smooth, maybe because I rode it in the front.

On SE it gets a lot of air this year, but a different type, which would be when the train comes off the track a little bit (I'm not even joking, it really does) I like it. [:)]

^So basically floater?

Basically, yeah, I guess. Not all of the wheels pop up but you can see it when they do. Good thing for those upstop wheels.

Kinda like this?-




Lol that's funny to look at. By the way, thunderbolt is a great ride.

I love wheels off the track...almost every woodie does it though.

Ok the reason everyone gets hurt on mantis is because you put your seats up too high. When i rode on it i put the seat so it wasn't squishing me in the crotch and had a wonderful ride.

when i rode the operators adjusted the seat for you... i had no control. they just raised it up as to where i was standing straight im gonna ride it again tho, maybe have a better experience. plus all the headbanging and g's on your legs. the flatspin was the worst part... Chang is a much better ride!

Even if that's true, Screamin' Eagle is a LOT more noticable.

I have to say Mantis. I realized how to make the ride not hurt and all, but still...the ride was just uninteresting to me. I don't why so many of my friends sing its praises.

Mean Streak is at a close second for me too. I used to think it was OK, but I've been on much better woodies since then. No one seems to like it anymore, so I say this is another Summers woodie that needs to go the way of Hercules and Psyclone.

I would say the most disappointing coaster moments for me are both at Kings Island.
1.) taking the loop out of the son of beast
2.) taking out the King Cobra.

King Cobra yeah (I love old standups), but honestly I think it was more disappointing that they didn't just take the whole ride out....

Backlot stunt coaster at Canadas Wonderland.. While in line the people coming off were all like "WOW that was the best coaster ever!!!" I waited 1 and half hours for one of the shortest and slowest rides ive ever been on.

I would have to say Millennium Force was the most disappointing coaster I have ever been on only because it had been so hyped up and I kept hearing about how much air time it has. It has NO air time, and while I love the drop and speed of the coaster, I find it mediocre when compared to a ride like Bizarro (formerly Superman Ride of Steel) at Six Flags New England, that ride has a perfect layout and LOTS of air time.

^You're my favorite new member.

Agreed!

Still, if only they didnt add those fricken headrests that make it so you cant see ahead of you.

Ive been sayin MF is the one of the most boring, uneventful rides ever and no ones been my friend!

Yeah I mean it's tall and goes fast (which is all CP wanted it to do), but after the airtime on the first drop the Gs basically stay between 3.5 and 0.5 for the rest of the ride, and there aren't even any lats to throw you around and spice things up. That's really boring. It's basically a GP coaster and is working well in that way, I guess.

theres lots of air if you know where to sit!

Ive sat in every seat man. at least 100+ rides. Theres air on the drop in the middle to back. NO air over the next hill in any seat. NO air over the next hill in any seat. Air on the station bunny hop in all seats.

Airtime is Maverick. Its the back right seat on Raptor. Its Voyage. Its Blue Streak. Its the drop on MF. Its NO where else on MF other than the bunny. Especially with Intamin restraints, floater air just doesnt cut it. On its BEST days you get floater. But thats basically nothing in Intamin restraints. Especially since the lead ins are incredibly long.

Sheikra. A lot of hype for the 90 drop, but nothing else to it. Mostly gimmick I say.

Umm...Sheikra stands and delivers. I don't know what your problem is.

El Toro and Nitro at Great Adventure.

These are awesome!

Storm Runner - great start but the end sucked - definitely not long enough!!

shockwave at kings dominon

El Toro and Montu. El Toro doesnt do much and Montu should be called trim brake the ride.

Air at alton towers is slower than I thought it was going to be that was disappointing. Its not long enough either
