-Manufacturer
-Model
-Examples

Feel free to list more than one. :lol: :lol:

while I have almost no chance of going to Holland any time within the next 5 years, I always thought Robin Hood looked like a neat ride. And I have heard nothing but good things about the other Vekoma Woodie

I dont think I have been on a roller coaster I didn't enjoy, thats the point right? My least pleasure experience however is with Stand ups
What are these for?

I don't think Robin Hood is that bad tbh, although it has gotten alot rougher in the past years and the change in the restraints wasn't for the better.
The other Vekoma woodie I have ridden, Loup-Garou in Walibi-Belgium, wich is pretty nice and has good airtime and lats.

I have never been on a coaster I didn't find at least to be enjoyable. However Boosterbike in Toverland had me hurt my man-parts untill I figured out how to sit in it correctly.

Its painful, very painful. At least I found it that way, the restraints are pretty uncomfortable, along with just standing in general.
Oh yes and the break at the end, I don't think it could have been any more sudden and painful.

Example (from my experience): 689m Standard.

The worst, but allows me to do hands up as well, if I ride in the back row! Forceless on top of a Roll Over and a Sidewinder so I almost fall out of a seat! Hidden airtime fun! I blacked out in the front row when going up the
3rd inversion! What a difference! :P

Seriously? I mean granted its not the smoothest of rides and the restraints aren't the best - but I have to disagree with it being rough. My girlfriend doesn't find it painful and she hates rough rides! The brakes are pretty stupid though - all that space haha.

Despite its nostalgia for me:
Manufacturer: Vekoma
Model: Corkscrew with Bayerncurve
Example: Corkscrew, Alton Towers (RIP)

Just the shaping is horrific - the entrance to the corkscrew is ugly and its just rough. I'd still ride it though. Several times. haha

This ride gives you a massive wedgie throughout the entire ride. My family likes to nickname it the Wedgie Coaster, instead of Mantis.

I didn't think that the track was rough, its quite smooth for its age actually. I just thought that the trains and generally standing whilst having g-forces exerted on you was uncomfortable and painful at times :P

Manufacturer: Intamin
Model: ZacSpin
Example: Green Lantern
