What is the world's Roughest/Most Painful Coaster?

[disneyland123]

Now here's a classic topic idea...:noob:

So, what do you think is the world's most painful ride? What is the most painful ride you've been on? What was your experience like on the ride? Discuss here!

So, I've been on a few painful rides myself, and I can't really decide between SkyRider at Canada's Wonderland or Manhattan Express without the Priemier Ride trains and brakes. TOGO's actually have very unique designs and would be popular, just that the restraints are not designed well. If they just used the Individual Lap-bar, there would be no problem for Manhattan Express, but for SkyRider I think it still has to use the OTSR.

Roughest ride....GhostRider at Knott's. I got a bad headache after riding it for the first time and trust me, it was BAD. Silver Bullet was much better.

YOUR TURN!

[supermarioman]

Georgia Cyclone.
Nuff said.

[SnooSnoo]

^I actually found that to be enjoyable. Leaning forward helped.. A L O T.





The Villain.

End thread.

[ytivarg]

Villain was horrific. I can't understand why people were upset it was torn down.

[BoRJoYZeE]

I don't know to be honest. I learned to ride a coaster that seems rough, where it is smooth (Not completely).

I guess Son Of Beast....?

[David Ellis]

Here are a few of my roughest rides:

Son of Beast
Top Gun (Canada's Wonderland)
Tornado (M&Ds Scotland)
Georgia Cyclone
The Villain
Rattler (Fiesta Texas)
Wild Wild West (WB Germany)

I am sure there are more...

[simtanic8]

Smm- I thought that was an awesome ride.


My roughes...no wait, THE roughest ride is Ninja at Six Flags Over Georgia. That thing is a death trap! My head kept banging against the harrnesses the entire time, and it gave me the biggest headach I ever had.

~Simtanic8

[Harpo]

Flashback at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Thank heavens it's gone!

Was just at Canada's Wonderland on Saturday -- Time Warp (formerly Tomb Raider) is getting a bit clunky and uncomfortable, but it's still WAY better than Flashback was!

[Ominous Gamer]

Worst for me so far is Gwazi at Busch Gardens Florida.
Wooden coster, only a lap bar, very little pading.

[SnooSnoo]

Smm- I thought that was an awesome ride.

~Simtanic8

Hardly.

Thats why the tell you to keep your head forward in horsecollars.. ;)

[elljhitch]

I have to agree with Ominous, the Gwazi at BGA, very painful.

[Westcot]

Georgia Cyclone.
Nuff said.

AMEN! I'm still feeling the side effects from that one... :bulb:

[abcde...]

:mad:Corkscrew-Alton Towers. It wasn't even fun!:mad:

[Knux897]

I dont really care for coasters as most lines are too long, so I would know if any big ones hurt, but the ones that hurt me are:

1. Really bad wooden coaster at Cedar Point, I couldnt understand why people were screaming how great the coaster was at the end

2.Scopion at Busch Gardens. I CANNOT fit my legs into the car and I had bad leg cramps after I got off.

3. Gwazi at Busch Gardens. As said above ^, though I dont ever remember it being too rough the times before the last.

4. Space Mountain at Magic Kingdom. I didnt have enough leg room, and I kept hitting my shin on the car as it went around turns.

5. Python at Busch Gardens before it was torn down. I always hit my head on it going in those corkscrews!!!

[Avian]

Scorpion, at Busch Gardens. I was leaning down on the lift hill, then there was the drop and I started to lean back, and the Ride practically Snapped my spine in 2 when I reached the loop. Maybe 3.

[tycooner55]

The Villain.

End thread.

I concur.

Gwazi gets a close second though.

^ Someone learned the power of a Schwarzkopf the hard way. If you ride them correctly you'll come to appreciate the G's. I found Scorpion to be very fun.

[Joeymama101]

Mind Eraser Six Flags NE. It whacks your head back and forth against the restraints.

[. Style .]

Goudurix at Parc Asterix. Vekoma 7 loop hell.

[BigLouie]

Easily the roughest/most painful ride I've ever been on is Dragon at Adventureland. Even if you lean forward it'll find a way to hurt you. ;)

[simtanic8]

Ominous I disagree, HGwazi was actually a very good coaster. It wasent rough for me, now the Georgia Cyclone, but I loved that ride to. I couldnt stop laughing on it.

~Simtanic8

[KingVeveraine]

The two roughest I have personally been on are Corkscrew at Alton Towers ( although that wasn't too bad, I think I was expecting far worse) and Rolling Thunder at SFGADV. It really hurt. Although we laugh about it now :).

[Nethero]

http://cache.rcdb.com/pictures/picmax/p8005.jpg

It had 3 loops! :mad::up:

[BoRJoYZeE]

Oh, now I REMEMBER.

My pick would be Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis.

[SnooSnoo]

^ Someone learned the power of a Schwarzkopf the hard way. If you ride them correctly you'll come to appreciate the G's. I found Scorpion to be very fun.

Agreed.

[tycooner55]

And if you think Scorpion's loop was powerful, try Sooperdooperlooper at Hershey Park. Some yummy G's to be had there. Proof that no one should underestimate a ride by its age or size.

[infiniteblue]

Well, there have been a few coasters that have made me feel quite uncomfortable, and perhaps a little bit painful. The Comet at Hershey is kind of rough, as is Sidewinder (again, Hershey). Those are just very rough; The Comet is old, and Sidewinder is a Vekoma. Those weren't the painful ones that I've been on, though, since I really didn't get hurt on them. Now, there are two coasters that were very painful, one on my head and the other in a place a bit south of that. The one that made my brain rattle was SuperFlight at Rye Playland; I kept whacking my head on those stupid head restraints on that Zamperla flyer. And Whirlwind at Seabreeze in Rochester NY was very painful in my manhood, if you catch my drift. Dunno why Maurer had to make those seats like that...

[Jamb520]

Oh, now I REMEMBER.

My pick would be Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis.

I completely agree. It made my ears ring since my head kept banging the harness the whole ride. I think it is too rough and needs to be adjusted some.

[Avian]

Is that at six flags?

[Harpo]

Ooh, Nethero is going to be in trouble! That picture is the latest in upcoming thrill rides -- it's supposed to be top secret!

Just between us... don't tell anyone... here's the way it works. Riders have wheel assemblies, similar to roller skates, strapped onto each of their feet. A tow rope will take them to the top of the first hill. Then, after going over the top, it is up to the riders to switch feet at the right time so that they avoid hitting any trees. For safety, the trees are really foam rubber -- amazing how they make 'em look so real, isn't it? But, the rider loses speed whenever a tree is hit, making the ride less fun. Also, there's a game aspect to it. Riders with sufficiently fast times and sufficiently few penalty points for hitting trees will win prizes! There will be special prizes for fastest ride of the day. It is rumored that a really special prize will be given for the fastest ride of the season. They're not yet saying exactly what that prize will be, but one manager was overheard saying something about "eight cylinders."

Now, remember, that whole thing is top secret, so be sure to keep it under your hat!

Yeah...forgot about that one...OD Hopkins, I recall...banged my head 3 times before getting to the bottom of the lifthill!

David.

[BoRJoYZeE]

^Were you naked?

[David Ellis]

Not that time, fortunately LOL, although under my clothes I was totally starkers!
I know my ears were naked though, as it hurt them pretty bad.

[Squid2]

Last year, Ninja at SFoG got a rehab that lowered the horsecollars and set them farther out. It's much less of a headbanger, but it's still a rough ride.

Georgia Cyclone was really smooth... when it was first built. It was ranked in the top ten of woodies for awhile. Nowadays, it really needs a full retracking, or even a complete rebuild.

Unfortunately, it's not in the cards for 2009, but maybe 2010.

The roughest coaster I've been on is a kiddie coaster at SFAmerica outside of Washington. That thing HURT.

[BigLouie]

Wow, someone not from Iowa whose been to Adventureland. Yeah, I agree the bunny hops are deadly. The loops are pretty smooth but the helix's are death.

[~LoveTulie]

Villain was horrific. I can't understand why people were upset it was torn down.

The Villain.

End thread.

It was fun, I liked it in the back. :mad::up:

It's Son of Beast I don't like..

[CedarPointer]

Son of Beast was horrid.

Dragon wasn't too bad, it's the only coaster I've been on where they ask if you're comfortable. :weird: The queue's theming is also pretty entertaining/.

[Nethero]

Ooh, Nethero is going to be in trouble! That picture is the latest in upcoming thrill rides -- it's supposed to be top secret!

Well I don't keep secrets. ;)

And I'm not worried about consequences, I have a good lawyer. :downcast:

[rct3parkmake]

I would have to say Vortex at Kings Island. I love the ride, but I hate the head banging bit of it. I don't think you need the Overheads.

[~LoveTulie]

You think that was bumpy? I didn't think it was bad at all. If you keep your head back, you'll be fine.

[SnooSnoo]

It was fun, I liked it in the back. :mad::up:

It's Son of Beast I don't like..

You make me sick.

[Nethero]

It was fun, I liked it in the back. :mad::up:

I love how you worded that. :haha:

[~LoveTulie]

You make me sick.

:D I know!

It's rather weird.. I really didn't like it when I would ride in the front. But when I rode in the back, whew was that a ride! :p

I love how you worded that. :haha:

Aha perv! :haha:

[Welsh Boy]

Gwazi.

[Harpo]

^^Wow, someone not from Iowa whose been to Adventureland. Yeah, I agree the bunny hops are deadly. The loops are pretty smooth but the helix's are death.

Heck, I'm from Michigan, and I've been to Adventureland twice. The more recent time was this summer, when, that evening, I found myself huddling in one of the tunnels under the train track as a tornado (not the coaster) paid a visit to the park. Quite an experience. Just minutes before, I had bought a t-shirt that said, "Tornado Warning."

[CedarPointer]

Harpo, I have that exact same shirt. :o

[tycooner55]

[David Ellis]

^^Wow, someone not from Iowa whose been to Adventureland. Yeah, I agree the bunny hops are deadly. The loops are pretty smooth but the helix's are death.

When I was there the ride op on the Outlaw was sending the train around twice...but not applying the brakes...so it was flying round the last bend, through the station at about 25mph, around the 180 degree turn and getting halfway up the lifthill before it finally ran out of steam! The ride op wanted to get the sack...he got it that day, and in about an hour it was estimated that about a year's worth of wear and tear had taken place!

I must get my video footage of that on YouTube!

David.

[abcde...]

OMG!! Where you really one of the people who rode Nemisis Inferno naked lol!!

[elljhitch]

^ It was the Nemesis, not Inferno.

[Xcelerate]

1. The Hurler
2. Magnum XL-200

No offense to you Magnum fans, but those "airtime hills" were quite painful.

[Doffy]

Like people have said...

Gwazi.

[AJM]

Stampida, with the newer trains, the old (pre-2006 season) trains were hell of alot better.

[Cedar Point]

It was fun, I liked it in the back. :mad::up:
Sig-worthy. :up:

[David Ellis]

^ It was the Nemesis, not Inferno.

Rode them both naked! Nemesis Inferno in May 2004 and Nemesis in August 2004...both Guinness World Records!

[Rupeeman]

RAGE at Adventure Island,lean your head forward or else you will encounter the world of headbangings!:eek:

[elljhitch]

Rode them both naked! Nemesis Inferno in May 2004 and Nemesis in August 2004...both Guinness World Records!
Woah dude! Both of them! Thats awesome!

[towersdude]

^No it's not, ive been on both ,eww haha.

Roughest most painful ride...?
Goudurix - Parc Asterix

Without a doubt.

No Vekoma, ever, should be allowed to do THIS (http://www.panoramio.com/photos/original/9680949.jpg). Kinda fun, but extremely painful, my mates ear was bleeding.

The Ultimate at Ligh****er Valley is rough with so much lateral force - but it's so incredibly fun and exciting for that reason so I won't say its a bad thing.

[Xcelerate]

^That must hurt. I couldn't see the link; it said forbidden.

[tycooner55]

2. Magnum XL-200

No offense to you Magnum fans, but those "airtime hills" were quite painful.

Wimp. :o

It's called ejector air my friend, and I find the back seat to be a blast. :up:

[elljhitch]

^No it's not, ive been on both.
What, naked?

[towersdude]

No, I mean ive been on rides that somebodys rode naked. Not a nice thought haha.

[BigLouie]

Heck, I'm from Michigan, and I've been to Adventureland twice.

Quite an experience. Just minutes before, I had bought a t-shirt that said, "Tornado Warning."
I think my friend Jon (JonAAAthunder) was there on that day! He came to school and told me about it. He said he was hiding out in the information building which is right next to the tunnel things.

[Xcelerate]

Wimp. :o

It's called ejector air my friend, and I find the back seat to be a blast. :up:
I suppose I am a wimp then :p. It felt like my legs would come off any moment then after the lapbar squeezed my thighs.

[SnooSnoo]

Well then don't press the bar down as hard as you can. I have massive thighs and, aside from the ejector row, have never had massive pain.

And if you think its bad now.. go back a few years when it actually HAD airtime.

[Olmec]

The Hurler at Kings Dominion. Really depends on where you sit but gives you a good headache.

[tycooner55]

I have massive thighs K, thanks for the update...:bulb:

And if you think its bad now.. go back a few years when it actually HAD airtime.Not sure how many years you're talkin' but the back seat 3 yrs. ago was a very fun (and brutal...in a good way) ride. :up:

And yes, that's what she said. ;)

[SnooSnoo]

Last time I checked.. 3 would be considered.. 'a few.'

Don't tell me you've dumped on the dumb train tycooner. You were one of the few I relied upon to remain sane.

[tycooner55]

Don't tell me you've dumped on the dumb train tycooner. You were one of the few I relied upon to remain sane.

Explain....I'm lost....:bulb:....what did I do? :cry:

Edit: Oooooooooooooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh.....yeah....that

Bit slow today from work.....all good now. :D

[--TD3--]

Any and all SLCs. Welcome to the world of pain. Mind eraser. You Bet it is. OWW.

[disneyland123]

Actually I don't think SLCs are as bad as Arrow Corkscrew Coasters or TOGOs.

[SnooSnoo]

Any and all SLCs. Welcome to the world of pain. Mind eraser. You Bet it is. OWW.

Ride The Great Nor'Easter at Morey's Piers. I thought it would be bad, and it was actually re-rideable.

[elljhitch]

No, I mean ive been on rides that somebodys rode naked. Not a nice thought haha.
You loved it secretly.:o.

[dmoquinn]

Roar SFDK in the middle, the VERY front was smooth.

[--TD3--]

the middle is rough on any coaster! adoi

[Squid2]

I don't think that anyone has mentioned Manhattan Express... otherwise known as Headache Express. And remember, folks, painful is an opinion greatly influenced by body type and size. What is painful for you isn't painful for someone else.

Squid2

[Cedar Point]

Manhattan Express sucks.

A lot.

[abcde...]

I forgot Infusion at Blackpool. I whacked my heads on the restraints so much!!

[elljhitch]

I forgot Infusion at Blackpool. I whacked my heads on the restraints so much!!
Thats relatively smooth for a Vekoma SLC, they are quite notorious for being head-bangers though!

[Wild 1]

Roar at SFA. I don't know why but it hurt! I did tough it out and rode it 5 more times though. There was no line!
