Ok, first off, Hello! I just joined, lol.

But anyway, I would have to say Led Zeppelin, (Time Machine) would be my most disappointing, I love B&Ms and figured I would like it. It was slow, drop was not high at all, little airtime, and ROUGH. Definatly the worst B&M I have been on.

If you want airtime, simply dont ride a B&M. Unless it is a hyper that built since Behemoth.

Everyone told me how amazing Top Thrill Dragster was, and how it was the best coaster of the planet. I rode it and could not figure out what was so special about it. Yes it's tall, but what a dissapointment.

For a first ride ever on a coaster - Raging Bull. Complete...crapness? So lazy, trims really destroyed that ride. Not the first, but the mcb...and the second trime...

For a ride Ive already been - MF. Apart from the drop and ensueing pull up, absolutely Minimum Force. Virtually no air, from any seat, any time of year, or day. And no positive G's either. If I was tired enough and could recline, I could go to sleep after the drop.


The first trim on that ride is what killed it. I rode it on media daye, before any trims and it was an airtime feast. Especially the third hill that now has the trim on it. Trims also killed the positive Gs on the figure eight at the end. The ride definately feels de-clawed now. I will never understand why B & M are so anti-airtime.

I got a bunch of air on it even with the trims on it. My butt was out of my seat on most of those hills, even on the front, and I'm not exactly light.

Well I usually try to leave a little wiggle room for added air but opening day this year I left a little too much in that last car and came closer too ejection than I'd like on the first hill so yes, it is possible to get some air but the original ride, pre-trims, had it all over the ride.

ThunderNaTion at SDC. they made it sound cool, but is was a bore-fest


You want to take this outside? Thunder is bad one of my favorites.

But on the topic i have to say mean streak (hope that ride burns to the ground)
Screaming eagle at sfstl had my hopes up and nearly fell asleep
TTD i was really expecting a forceful ride and got the opposite
Powder keg Rough, slow, boring, perfect combo for a terriable coaster
Thats all i can think of for now.

Mean Streak for sure. Its rough and after the first drop, it loses speed quickly.

Tennessee Tornado or Mantis or Mean Streak- Tennessee Tornado is just so dang short and Mantis is too rough plus the seats on mantis are hard on yer nuts. Mean Streak is just too rough (even for a woodie)

Fahrenheit was pretty disappointing, IMO. The hype surrounding the coaster was huge, and the layout looked to be pretty insane...but the ride wasn't. Fun? Yes. Overrated? Definitely.

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.

I tried that BandM, and the rest of the game my calves were killing me. There's a careful balance that you have to find...

I'm gonna have to say Storm Runner at Hershey. I thought I would enjoy it but it just bored me and it wasn't a rush. Kingda Ka tops it totally.

haha...Ka only wishes it had half the airtime and intensity SR has. Been on both. SR far more than KK but front seat on SR delivers leg busting airtime while Ka is nothing more than some decent pressure.

sheikra definitely

it's not BAD

it's just way too short, and generally not worth the wait for anything past the first drop


but whoever said montu was disappointing can go shoot themselves =]
So say we all.

I was slightly disappointed. The trim before the Batwing was on pretty hard and the MCB was on even harder. Nothing like hard trims for total and utter buzz kill.

You expecting a coaster from 1976 to give you a ton of thrill? I think it's more fun now that the trains feel a LOT more loose from the track (which they really are, I've phisically seen the wheels bounce off the track a couple of inches = unique air-time)
Powder Keg rough, slow and boring? When did you ride it? Because when I rode it it was fast, smooth and fun.

I rode rowder keg back in, i think 06 and it beat the hell out of me in additrion to it being one large turn before the lift hill. After the lift was nothing special either.

And on SE i didn't get any air. Thats the main thing you look for on that type of ride right?
