Now Accepting Nominations for Rusty Ribbons Awards

[slosprint]

the last 2 times i rode kingda ka i swear i suffered minor concussions

and also the worst trend set by an amusement park of all time i would have to say was Cedar Point's Corkscrew. once that thing went up more and more popped up everywhere until there was an army of neck breaking corkscrew rides

My last nomination is under the category of most painful ride outside of a water park. For this I nominate The Rotor at Lake Compounce. it is one of those rides where they spin you so that you stick to the wall and then the floor drops out except Lake Compouncs nefer spins it fast enough so when the floor drops you slowly and painfully slide down, causing large acrapes on your back.

Worst steel coaster:
Manhattan Express @ New York, New York Hotel Las Vegas

Most annoying area audio: SFSL, it get annoying hearing "God Love Her", "Ride Baby Ride", and "Every Time We touch" cycle through over and over. Oh yeah, they are generous enough to add "Thriller" during FF.

agreed

Most painful attraction outside a water park - Flashback, SFMM
- Very rough ride even when it was new. OTSR's that didn't fit anybody. And it's headache's for days.

Worst employees employed by a theme park - SFMM

Worst employees employed by a water park - (just a guess) SFMM:Hurricane Harbor

Worst Amusement Park - SFMM (anyone else seeing a pattern here? Good rides, horrible up keep)

I don't see much of a pattern...
1. agreed
2. disagree - i was at a local VERY small park with one coaster. one day i was stuck on it, the guy tried to fix it, but he wasn't successful, so he left saying that he'd be back with a mechanic, but he returned 10 minutes later WITH A COFFEE IN HIS HAND and then he apoligized and said he had forgotten that i was stuck on the ride, so he FINALLY gets a mechanic and repairs it.
3. I honestly don't know
4. I love SFMM, so I disagree. Some employees are rude but most are nice (in my eye)

1...well My family all said that was a horrible ride, but I was too young to even know, nor ride. But a lot of people I know, thought Psyclone was worse. So Can't disagree nor agree.
2. Trust me there's worse.
3. Can't exactly vote for something if it's only a guess, now can you. But the employee's there are so-so. Depends on who it is and what mood or kind of day it is.
4. Trust me, not the worst, but neither the best.


My Nominations: I'll just edit this post the more I remember.

Most annoying area audio: Although this may not count, Disneyland's music always puts me to sleep.

Most painful attraction outside a water park: That Riptide ride, at KBF. The one that flips you over a little pond, near the Perilous Plunge. That thing is not crotch-friendly.



Worst Waterpark: Soak City. Just because of the size, and the crap-tacular wave pool.


Worst Marine Life Park. Although, its nice and pretty, most of the things at Sea World in San Diego, are the smallest, watered down versions of things from the Bigger Sea Worlds.



Worst Wooden Coaster: Pysclone at SFMM (Sorry but it's true)


Worst Steel Coaster: Mullholand Madness at DL.

but seriously sfsl has a teenybopper's ipod as a park sound track with only a handful of songs on loop. Its probably the only thing I didnt enjoy about the park.

^ Can you guess who the music was picked by?

I completely agree 110%. If I felt like it I can probably name every single one they had on soundtrack from memory.
^Tell us.

I nominate Cyclone at SFNE as the most painful attraction outside a waterpark.

How dare you insult such an amazing coaster. I have riddent it in the back row over 10 times in a row and have not gotten a headache!!!! It just has amazing lats airtime and lats and airtime together in the back. It really is only rough on that one dip and thats it.

I totally agree with you. Cyclone isnt that rough compared to other wooden coasters. What about Predator at Darien Lake, isnt that a lot rougher, I think it is!

I'm glad to say that SFMM nor Knotts will most likely not get any nomination.

I'm glad to nominate Knott's Berry Farm for Worst Landscaping. The park doesn't have much landscaping to begin with, and the park does a horrible job with that little bit of it.

I'm going to slap you with a nasty sock. That place is small, and they can't really do much landscaping because...

A) It's small

B) Half the park if not the whole park would be closed....For a long time.

C) it has more than enough landscaping for a park that size. The whole rapids area is well themed and landscaped and the big pond was put to excellent use as being put as Silver Bullet's base.

bullshit. that park used to have a lot of landscaping till CF came around
I nominate KBF for worst park as well. Its the only park that fails to dissappoint me

[slosprint]

^ Uhhhhh... dosn't fails to dissapoint mean you like it?

[coolbeans326]

i stand correct - knotts never fails to dissapoint

Worst Park:
Michigan Adventure, the best they can do for a new ride is a VEKOMA SLC CLONE? COMON!!! Its a ****hole for a cedar fair park
Worst Steel Coaster:Corkscrew at Michigan Adventure
Just plain dull.
*best steel coaster Millinium Force.
Worst Food: Michigans adventure. I remeber going there and one of the stalls ran out of buns for hotdogs. XD
Ya Michigans Adventure kinda sucks. There water park is pretty good though

[slosprint]

[Oscar]

most painful attraction : coasterkidmwm's sister!

FoF is amazing...i work there . But I must say it has really annoying audio...there are at least three different audios playing at once and with trains launching, it's a headache.

Why you hatin on GASM?
Its a fantastic ride, imo.

Worst Wooden Coaster: Mean Streak at Cedar Point.

worst steel coaster: shcokwave@drayton manor
it's a short, pathetic little ride wich is falling apart, i genuinely, and i kid you not there is not a word of exxageration here, i genuinely fear for my life every time i ride the damn thing! nearly every time i have ridden t the seat has move up or down or the restraint didn't click right, so every time the whole thing will loosen and i feel like i'm gonna fall out-not enjoyable

[Mikey]

^ Gazag used to take care of that ride. Perhaps you should ask him were he put the left over bits.

shame on you, gazag! that coaster is scary as s**t!why did you never like... fix... it?
