Smoothest:Tatsu

Roughest: Ghost Rider(not that it's rough, it's just so dam aggressive especially in the back, but that's why I love it. I like it rough[:D])
I would say Pysclone, but that's dead(thank you lord)
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

So, my friend came up to me the other day and asked if I wanted a frozen banana, and I said no, but I want a normal banana later, so... yea.

I have to say that as for roughest, the top has to be either Blue Streak at Cedar Point or American Eagle at Six Flags Great America. However, for smoothness (and I'm sure many will scoff at me comparing a Vekoma to a B&M) I have to say my top 2 are either Thunderhawk at Michigan's Adventure (veeeery very smooth-well done for a vekoma) and Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America.

Incidentally enough, El Toro is one of the smoothest I've ever been on, but probably not THE smoothest since it's still a woodie... I'm going to go with Apollo for the smoothest, I think. And HANDS DOWN for roughest is Wildcat at Herseypark, although I haven't been since they put on the Millennium flyers so maybe it's slightly better...
Because for the occasion that you are pretty.

Rough but still enjoyable: Loch Ness Monster - BGW

Rough, but not enjoyable at all: Hurler and Shockwave - PKD

Smooth: Apollo's Chariot



I don't know what they did (maybe new wheels) but now there is absolutely no headbangs on shockwave.

Smoothest - Montu at Busch Gardens Africa
Roughest - Hmm, Not been on many rides that I've found "rough", The roughest I've been on I would have to say would be Gwazi at BGA as well but still loved it :)

Ninja is awesome i don't know what your on. I didn't think it was too rough and there arn't enough classic coasters like that around.

Just wait till the end of the year (or next) when the trains havent been rehabbed in awhile. The back of the trains vibrate ridiculously. Its almost no fun at all. Its like someones put you on a giant massaging wand that is doing everything but making you feel good.

Smoothest: Montu, BGT, I truely felt like I was flying in a stunt plane here, so smooth and delightful, though I did feel slightly dizzy getting off. Go B&M.

Roughest: GASM, SFGAdv, MAN, I had to push my head back so hard, it was a workout. That corkscrew entry in particular was BRUTAL! Definitely the hardest-to-ride roller coaster I have ever been on, but that's what made it fun for me, is trying NOT to get my head smashed (which it thankfully did not).[}:)]
