What is the worst roller coaster you have ever ridden?

What is the worst roller coaster you have ever ridden?
Mine was Fly: The Great Nor'easter at Morey's piers.

[Turbo]

wow... I actually need to think about this one

It's pretty close between Super Flight at Rye Playland and Mind Eraser at Darien Lake. The worst volare and the worst SLC are tough to choose between, but I have to give it to Super Flight.

Green Lantern at SFMM

Batman backwards was probably my worst ride experience. Idiotic gimmick by Six Flags.

As far actual worst coaster...hmm...maybe Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland or Kong at SFDK. Those are some janky SLCs.

SHOCKWAVE, SHOCKWAVE, SHOCKWAVE!

GOOD RIDDANCE.

Toss up between Invertigo at Kings Island and Vortex and Carowinds.

Tough call, but probably either Indiana Jones et le Temple du Peril at Disneyland Paris or Steamin' Demon at Great Escape. I've been on some really bad boomerangs as well (Canada's Wonderland's is particularly bad).

Mean Streak lol

At Kings Dominion, surely? Now I think I might have to change my vote to SkyRider at Canada's Wonderland. Carowinds Vortex is actually a decent stand up by comparison.

Oh wait, what about a defunct one at SFGAm?

Georgia Cyclone - SFOG

Dang, That thing was horrid. Never been in such a rough, shaking, vibrating, rattling, hammering coaster in my life... And I've seen a ton them...
(Although people tell me I rode it apparently on it's depth point in 2011.)

Yes Kings Dominion lol.

The other shockwaves look okay compared to KD's omg.

[Turbo]

Pretty much everything about Shockwave at KD was garbage from the poorly maintained restraints to the extreme transition jerks when you were directly on your side even to the station brakes.

I might have to go with Shockwave at Kings Dominion as well lol

I have two in mind. Either Kong at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom (an SLC) or Wildcat at Cedar Point (a Schwartzkoph wild mouse). Both were incredibly rough and painful, and the sudden stop at the end of Wildcat was literally a guy punch.

I'd probably say from recent memory, Corkscrew at Cedar Point. I have done other Arrow corkscrew models, but this one in particular banged me in a way no coaster ever had before.
Or I could say Mind Eraser at SFNE, or most SLCs for that matter. You'll catch me celebrating with champagne and everything the day they wreck it

Green Lantern at SFMM and the only travelling pole position still out there.

[Turbo]

Green lantern is an awesome but violent ride. It gets too much hate.

It had nostalgia value, but I do remember regretting pretty much every time I got on Great American Scream Machine at GAdv after 2005 or so, even though I knew how to "ride right." Probably not the absolute worst, though...

I'd say Mean Streak, Hercules at Dorny-- possible marginally saved by just the big drop, but meh-- or the original Nor'Easter, before Fly. Mean Streak probably takes it.

Oh God, no. Viper at SFGAdv. That's the one. Mean Streak is a close second.

The Beast.

Manages the rare feat of being painful while NOT ACTUALLY DOING ANYTHING.

The only way to "ride it right" is front row, lean forward, and hold on. Saved me twice, and everyone behind me was complaining

[Coasterkidmwm]

Mean Streak or Lightning Racer. Both rides give you this enormous beautiful structure that somehow manages to be incredibly bland and forceless no matter what you do.

I really liked Sky Rider and didn't find it bad. I agree about Vortex, in fact I loved Vortex when I went. I think the main gripe with B&M standups is that people forget to actually stand up on them.

I found Batman Backwards at SFGADV to be great. I prefer it to going forwards.

Of all the words you could use to describe Beast, I can't imagine painful being one of them. It's actually one of the smoother wooden coasters out there.

I mean Beast isn't painful, it's just boring as all hell.
