I went on a small wisdom orient express coaster today at a huge fair with at least 40 rides.

It had this same layout.

This extremely rough and jerky portable Wisdom Industries coaster was much rougher than the Shockwave TOGO coaster at Kings Dominion. I am not kidding.

It slammed me around when it went around the track and it sounded like a old garbage can/shopping cart crashing around. The cars were wobbling and shaking really bad as it went through the layout at least 12 times around.

There's no way this goes fast enough to be "rough". Surely?

You'd be surprised on how fast kiddie carnival coasters go.

In my eyes "Dragon Wagon" looks like just crawling up every tiny hump giving unpleasant g's! Not as bad as rodeo experience is, though! :P
-- I was happy to be with NL1. --

Personal coaster count as of 3/2025 -- 222
"500" perhaps by the end of this year.
I will be a Thai citizen if possible in a few years.

Roughest steel coaster I went on was Thunderbolt at Coney Island.
It's a shame, the trains are so poorly made and the car rattles like crazy.
Also, the restraint straps are choking devices which makes the ride extremely painful.
