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.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

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)
Coaster Count: 582 // Top Five: 1. Helix 2. Nemesis 3. Big Bad Wolf 4. Boulder Dash 5. Balder

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.
Sometimes you gotta sacrifice a little bit of yourself to get the job done.

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

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 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

FoF is amazing...i work there :D. 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.

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 :(
