I've ridden worse. This video is mainly just robb exaggerating on how bad the ride is.

I'd say the a few of the worst ones were these 2 corkscrews in Qiushuishan Park:

Those corkscrews were extremely pumpy and shaky, not comfortable!

This shitty loop at Quanlin Resort:
Image
(The rest of the track was actually decent)

Last but not least. These insanely fast saxophones:

Look at 1:30 for example... In case your wondering... Yes, that's me in the frontrow :lol:

Vekoma Boomerang Cobras. I don't hate Boomerangs, but the cobras knock the wind out of you.
Diamondback is Diamonbae.

Those frigging horrible butterfly loop things Vekoma thought was a good idea are the worst inversions. Whatever happened to Goudurix getting "fixed" when they attempted to rebend the rails or whatever?

@Dirk I heard Sequoia Adventure at Gardaland was a very unpleasant ride. Is it because of the speed or just the nature of being held upside down?

Wait until you ride Zoomerang. You actually won't hate a boomerang for once.


Arrow corkscrew entrances ugh.

The one is Gardaland is more unpleasant because of the hangtime, but there is a major difference between both rides on speed. Gardaland goes pretty slow over those transitions, unlike the one in China which flies over those saxophones. See the difference here:

Though not technically inversions: Flashback (z-force) the insanely compact poor excuse for a modern thrill coaster that intamin should have left in their facility as a poorly executed prototype like arrow did with their pipeline coaster, That Intamin space coaster model was the worst coaster experience I ever had. The insanely banked "drop turns" were way too slow on the entrance and way too fast on the pull up coming out, then there was the horrible block braking that was all but a simulation on being in a car wreck into a brick wall, and yes, I realize you do not go completely 180* but at some parts it sure as poop felt like it, anyway, glad SFMM was the last stop for that touring torture device, better as scrap metal anyway, lol.

By unpleasant do you mean painful or just uncomfortable? I mean I like hangtime so I don't really know what to think of this ride.

The type of shoulder restraints combined with that hangtime is just uncomfortable. And since the ride doesn't have any lead-in or lead-out on it's curves it's another smack added on every directional change.

Perfect WTF story; I believe that "inversion" (I wouldn't dare call it an immelman) was actually retracked to the way it looks now; it used to actually look survivable.
It's been a long time
