- I love roller coasters. This is why I visit amusement parks across the world. But every so often, I come across a roller coaster so bad that I never want to ride it again. Maybe it was boring. Maybe it was rough. Or maybe it was both. In this video, I count down the top 25 worst roller coasters I have ever ridden.

I don't know why, but I actually like getting a friend or two together to ride painful coasters together. We're just laughing at each other the whole time! It feels like we're on some kind of out of control adventure sledding down a volcano instead of riding a roller coaster lol
I agree, it's enjoyable to relish in the pain together.
Yeah I try not to go on so many bad rides though I did wind up with a concussion one time

I rode Coast Rider with my mom back in 2019, it was the one ride there that she and I both agreed never to ride again after that visit. We went to ride the Wild Mouse at Lagoon last year and it was an infinitely better experience not having to deal with the shin restraints. Well done on the list!
Coast Rider with the original restraints was boring but smooth.
'El Condor' at Walibi Holland was one rough as hell. It made me kind of afraid for inverted coasters in general. I am glad that they've got new carts a few months ago because many people complained about their bad headaches and neck pains.
That one was bad with the old trains, but I only wanted to list one SLC on this list and Blue Tornado was worse.
Not sure they are an improvement. I didn't really mind the headbanging that much. They should have added the side bars like the ones they have at speed of sound. With just the vest restraines i was tossed around like a ragdoll. Kind of fun but totally unreridable did just 2 rides in it. Now if they add the bars so you can hold on to something to brace yourself it would actually be a fun coaster.
@@arturobianco848 Good point, I'd like that much more than even the new carts.
@@CanobieCoaster incorcect
Friendly reminder that when people complains on social media about being injured on Coaster Express, Parque Warner replies that it is, in fact, an extreme coaster.
That coaster needs the warning sign for its roughness like Hades 360 or Hellcat.

@@CanobieCoaster don’t forget range
Yup, I’ve been on that woodie, it hurts, and it made me hate all wooden coasters, ultill I tried other woodies and was like, holy they dont try to kill you
they should really make it an RMC, bur Parque Warner literally doesn’t care bout its park, they haven’t added anything in 20 years, they should transfer ownership of the park

Not a fan of that ride.

Great content. I hope your channel properly explodes in popularity as it deserves.
Thank you!
I went on Blue Tornado too and it was extremely rough. This is one of those rides that you instantly regret going on as soon as you hit the bottom of the first drop. Sequoia Magic loop was closed when I went but I wasn't that sad as I've heard lots of bad things about it. Though all of the other rides made up for it at Gardaland, especially the water rides and other coasters as some of them have really good theming.
Gardaland had great atmosphere, but there were 3 really bad coasters there.
Saquia Magic Loop isn't that bad, it just gives you a lot of...Hangtime
@@tangzy5347 Next time I go to Gardaland, if it’s open, I will for sure give it a go so I can see what it’s like. It definitely looks like a unique ride to say the least. I wonder if I’ll like it or not.
The only SLC I've been on is Mind Eraser. I went once in 4th grade and NEVER again
@@noname8354 mind eraser got a full retrack
I love that you mentioned not one, not two, but three coasters at my home park (Gardaland). Those death machines need to get more attentions on how bad they are! Though rumors say that they’re going to change Blue Tornado’s restraints padding, so it may get a little bitter ( Yeah sure)
With new padding, it would be a lot more ridable. It happened with the one at Six Flags New England.
@@CanobieCoaster yeah, now we have to find out if with that they mean new trains with vest or if they only stuffed the old restraints with softer stuff
Yay been waiting for this since your top 25 video
Enjoy!
1033 credits? Damn...nice job. More than most out there. I look back and wish I traveled more to parks because I've always had a love for coasters and I started back in the late 80s. I've been on so many defunct coasters now, but if I kept it up, I know i would have a ton of credits.
Also, how is Predator at Darien Lake not on this list?
I enjoy Predator up front. I acknowledge the ride is brutal elsewhere. It's the same thing that saved rides like Mean Streak and Hellcat from the list.
The sad music had me dying in laughter the entire time 😂😂

Six Flags Over Georgia used to have a wooden coaster called the Georgia Cyclone that would really beat you up. I thought my discomfort on the ride was just a sign of old age creeping up on me, but my teenage daughter also thought it was too rough. They did close the ride in 2017, replacing it with a steel coaster called the Twisted Cyclone, and I have to believe the switch was made to give a more pleasant ride experience.
I actually liked Georgia Cyclone
The absolutely worst coaster I rode was the SLC prototype, "El Condor" at Walibi Holland. It had brutal headbanging and was extremely rough.
I also despise the "Viking Coaster" at Energylandia (a Spinning Mouse with OSTR - WTF?!?) or the Volare at Wiener Prater, which is also awfully incomfortable...
I rode Viking Coaster after making this list and it would have made it.
El Condor is a disaster and it needs to be put out of its' misery. Another AWFUL Vekoma SLC is *MP* *Xpress* at Movie Park Germany. Rickety, outdated, rough restraints with plenty of head-banging, and the elements are jammed so close together after a lousy first drop that you don't even pick up much speed.
Its' immediate neighbor, MPG's Bandit (a classic Woodie) is *also* a rough ride owing to its' age and coaster type, but I found it an infinitely more enjoyable rollercoaster. It actually manages to move at a thrilling speed, and if you know how to anticipate on its' turns, you won't come away with bruises. The same cannot be said, in *any* measure, for MP Xpress. If you're anywhere but on the dead first row, you won't have a clue which elements are coming up next - and your braincase will be paying dearly for it.
Bandit could be rescued by turning it into a steel-track hybrid, but MP Xpress just needs to be torn down. Judging by reviews of Movie Park Germany, management is unlikely to do *either;* most of their 'revamp' work on their coasters consists of a quick re-paint that starts flaking back off again within months, and these two rides aren't the only two we felt were facing neglect.
I never had a problem with Coaster Express, so maybe I've been lucky, but it was still dull as hell so is a perfect candidate to be RMC'd anyway. The ones that come to mind for me are King (Foire du Trone - great layout but terrible trains), Bandit (Movie Park Germany - rough as hell) and MP Express at the same park which seemed particularly bad by SLC standards.
MP Express is probably the second or third worst SLC I've ridden. Bandit was bumpy, but it was too slow to cause pain for me.
I liked Bandit (although I am the only one out of our ride party of 3 who had a good time - the roughness is indeed very present and requires the rider to apply opposite force from where they are seated if bruising is to be avoided) but MP Xpress is a miscreant of the highest order, and we all unanimously agreed never to go near that abomination again. There are GREAT suspended coasters (Phantasialand's Black Mamba is my favourite suspended ride - is it any wonder that it's *not* a Vekoma? It's an Inverted Roller Coaster by Bolliger & Mabillard), but MP Xpress needs a total overhaul or sweet death.
The fact that they couldn’t even alight the transition into the lift hill properly on rainier rush just shows how bad the track work is
That whole ride is scary.
i rode it at santas village as a kid and it made me cry
@@djsugarc1075 It makes adults cry too.
lol yes 😂
I felt lucky to get off that ride in 1 piece
So, what were your thoughts on Rougarou (at Cedar Point) and Patriot (at California's Great America) compared to their original stand-up versions (Mantis and Vortex)?
Also firebird and apocalypse
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 So Canobie Coaster says that the improvements from the floorless conversions of these two coasters were similar to what he got from Firebird?
I never rode Mantis, but Rougarou is decent. I love the first half, but the second half has some questionable transitions I have to lean forward for.
Patriot is ok. I don't love that ride's layout, but the ride got a bit more comfortable with the floorless trains.
Apocalypse was miserable in any row for me. Firebird is decent in the back row. In the front, Firebird is still very rough.
I 100% agree with the Vekoma Boomerangs with arrow trains, I specifically mean Boomerang at one of my home parks Six Flags st louis. I can't bare to understand how it makes sense for a coaster to be this bad. Literally, the amount of headbanging is horrendous and that second catch car lift which I call the death car lift hill is the worst part of the ride. You fly into your restraint like you are being launched backwards. Image a lift hill that stops but the closest anti rollback tooth is 2 feet behind the train.
Edit: it also broke my dad's glasses
I forgot that one had an Arrow train, but that's another bad one. I have only ridden that one once.
I've never had a problem with Mack Bobsled coasters. I'm quite surprised to see them on this list.
More often than not, they vibrate badly for me. I've learned to lean forwards, but the one at Europa was particularly bad.
@@CanobieCoaster Avalanche at KD is always butter smooth and a great ride for me, so this is a bit of a surprise. Great video though!
The only Mack bobsled I've been on is Avalanche at Kings Dominion (the only one in North America). I agree that it is pretty bumpy because of how the trough is designed on the Mack version, but I really enjoyed it and even took a couple more rides. I thought it was a rather fun family coaster. Unfortunately it probably won't be around for a whole lot longer.
Sandy's Blasting Bronco! Never been on a shakier coaster, and the forces with the restraints made it VERY painful.
I last rode it in November and it wasn't painful then. It had a shake on the pullouts though.
TMNT Shellraiser looks better it’s pretty overrated even tho it looks very fun imo
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 The launch and drop are cool but the inversions beside the inverted top hat kinda suck.
Amazing video 👍🏼☺️
Thanks!
Blue tornado is an exact replica of the one of my favorite SLC rollercoasters, that being the NorEaster at Moreys Piers, Wildwood, New Jersey
Great Nor’Easter is great with the new trains and track. Blue Tornado has neither of those things.
I *LOVE* where you show the places it hurts on your body
Thanks!
Yes!
And the body diagram for number one is truly the grand finale!
Same
@@StamfordBridge hey thanks
I hear so many people that love Wild One. I went back in 2014, and didn't get a good ride on it (I think that I sat in a wheel seat). What is the best seat to ride Wild One?
I love that ride most up front. Even in the very back, I enjoy it. It's rougher there, but I always go up front since the airtime is stronger (and it's smoother anyway).
Nightmare at Crack Axle Canyon at Great Escape was removed in 2006 and scrapped shortly after. The building is still there. Due to the low capacity, they actually had a note on the park map that said "extra wait time". That would be brutal if the building was as hot as described.
I think the building is now used for storage and a haunt.
Interresting list. Totally agree with all the Boomerangs and SLC (yep blue tornado is the worst).
I personally would also put "Freischütz" (Bayern Park), Bandit (Movie Park Germany) and Stampida (Portaventura) in this list.
Freischutz was rough but it's intensity was admirable.
I didn't hate Bandit (it wasn't good, but ir didn't kill me).
Stampida was ok.
Yeah I thought I liked Volares too when I went on Time Warp! But then my home park got one in 2013. Hero at Flamingo Land. It is the worst ride I have ever been on. And I have been on Green Lantern etc. It is SO rough! At least Time Warp is quite smooth.
Interesting Hero is that bad. Maybe one day I'll get to Flamingoland.
@@CanobieCoaster I don’t really know why it is so rough. It just feels jolty. Maybe it was bad maintenance as a few years ago, a loose pole came off of the ride injuring some people in line. Also maybe because of the climate as it is quite cold there. Anyway though, it’s still an iconic ride for us UK enthusiasts
@@Gabes1321 I also haven't ridden a Volare in a few years so I'll see if my experience changes.
@@CanobieCoaster I actually like Time Warp but if you ever ride Hero then you will NOT like it
@@CanobieCoaster no
This man doesn’t get enough credit, he has ridden more coasters than coaster studios and has a great opinion, you are a great channel and deserve more credit, I hope you have a good day,
Everyone's opinion is just as valuable, even if they haven't ridden as many coasters.
I've been waiting for this video 😅
You're welcome!
Do you plan on making an updated version of this soon?
Not at this time because there hasn't bee much change on the worst of the worst.
Love the pain meter! 🤣
Thank you!
@@CanobieCoaster no thank you
I was happy when I realised I’ve been on number 1. It is horrendous!
I hate Coaster Express with a passion.
@@CanobieCoaster the only reason I’ve been on it was because of a school trip 😂
Which trains in the Wildcat at Lake Compounce did you like more, the original 3 bench PTC trains or the Millennium Flyers trains or the retracking?
The old 3 bench trains.
Most painful coaster was either Vortex at Carowinds (major headache after) or my first B&M flyer Superman at SFGAdv. (I had my jewels practically destroyed, I now know how to position myself before the restraints lock and can enjoy flying coasters)
I used to hate stand-ups, but I like them now that I know how to position the restraint.
I rode the wild mouse at Fuji q and ended up coming off with a headache that lasted the whole day
It was bad, but at least it didn't hurt my head (for me at least).
That's me with 99% of all wooden coasters (Intamin pre-fab & RMCs not included).
8:06 At least they admit it a rough ride unlike other coaster , cough *Slc* cough
True!
It’s funny that I was watching this thinking: if you want painful, you should try coaster express. A few seconds later I saw it was your number one 😂
Surprised there aren’t more woodies on this list. But love the ironic relaxing massage music in the video lol
Coaster Express ruined my flight it was so rough.
Which boomerangs have Arrow trains? I saw you used a Bat POV, but I think that's the smoothest of all boomerangs.
It's easy to tell by the pointy lead car. RCDB has a list of them I believe.
Mind Eraser at SFA takes the cake for me! 🤕😭
That may be the worst SLC in America.
@@CanobieCoaster id rather ride mind eraser than laff trak anyday
That one hurts so much. I got such a bad headache after I read it
Last time I went to Canadas wonderland my group insisted we go on flight deck, despite me warning them about the notoriously rough ride, which was not helped by the hard restraints. When we reached the brake run, the entire train was just a symphony of "ow!" "omg my ears!" "shit that hurt.." so on so fourth. When we were leaving the ride, every single passenger had bright red ears from the friction against the plastic, and I had to go sit down in the shade because it had given me a bad headache. I'm probably never going to ride that awful thing again.
I don't think I'll ride it again unless it gets new trains.
So proud of my home park 🤦♂️
If I rode that, I'd have to have a beer (properly enjoyed with food, of course) to block out the memory.
Man this video is already nostalgic to me. Maybe because I watched it a ton during online school
I will make an updated one when the last changes substantially enough.
FINALLY someone who doesn't hate volares!!!! i actually ride time warp multiple times whenever i go to canada's wonderland cause its a decent ride as long as you brace yourself.
Maybe it's my body size, but I have enough clearance I don't hit anything.
Yeah time warp is pretty overhated if you beave yourself. I definitely used to like it more when I was 9. It’s decent now and not terrible but I wouldn’t shed a tear if it closed. I’d rate it a D+ It’s not bad but not great and a lot of people really overreact honestly. It can be enjoyable if you brace yourself even tho it’s still painful it’s pretty ok
@@coasterhockygamingboy9549 I agree, its really overhated and I enjoy it but i defenitley wouldnt be sad if it was removed with flight deck for an invert or a flyer.
I LOVE slcs, but I HATE boomerangs
I don't mind most boomerangs, but the ones with Arrow trains are bad.
I’ve ridden 1 at my home park and it sucks
"Every inch of RCCA track..." There's your problem right there. RCCA may be the worst manufacturer ever to grace the scene.
I tend to agree.
If we're referring to the major non-knockoff (China) manufacturers, then I may actually agree with that. Most other manufacturers have gems, or positives. Pinfari made rough rides, but they are influential in helping popularise steel coasters (especially in small parks and in travelling fairs) and they also made a few innovations here and there. But RCCA made mostly airtimeless, rough, often poorly tracked and somewhat boring twisters that seem to have a helix fetish. Rattler was abysmal, the trackwork in it originally was pathetic and shameful. Just look at povs of the early ride, its awful.
They also were a bit scummy, or so I've read. (once)
On Vekoma SLCs, what differs the cushioned over the shoulder restraints from the hard over the shoulder restraints?
Soft padding to help protect your ears.
What would you think about Thunderhawk at Michigan's Adventure, that is a relocated Vekoma SLC, still with over the shoulder restraints similar to Blue Tornado at Gardaland? I like those restraints
Thunderhawk has soft foam restraints. Blue Tornado has harder restraints.
The fact coaster express parque never got taken down is just bizarre. They better take this ride down. It’s too rough or they better retrack it and bring new trains.
I'd love for it to get RMCed.
From what I know of, the Vekoma family suspended coasters are so rough because they have a huge wheelgap.
Makes sense considering the adult SLCs.
Not the newer great thrill ones. The older hang n bangs are
i dont know what six flags did to the ninja at six flags stl but for some reason the last time I rode it was smooth as hell and there was no head banging at all. I remember the ride used to be one of the worst experiences in my life and riding it now is kind of odd how smooth and painless it is.
I've never found Ninja bad since my head clears the top of the OTSR.
I have to agree with you about Coast Rider at Knotts. It not only digs into your shins painfully but it jacks up your knees! At least it does for me. I have one bad knee (osteoarthritis) so my flexibility in that knee is limited. The shin guard was torture on my bad knee and when getting off it hurt just to get my bad knee to straighten out again. My Twisted Colossus has shin guards too but those don’t jack up my knees like Coast Rider does. And yes it’s a combo of that shin guard and it cramped that make it a bad ride
It's disturbing how bad that ride is now with those restraints.
I go back and forth between which I dislike more: boring and forgettable, or painful yet memorable. I haven't ridden Coaster Express, but it somehow seems to combine all four traits. Fingers crossed the SLC going up in Iowa doesn't run like Blue Tornado.
I've only seen the unpadded OSTRs on Blue Tornado. I'm hoping the one in Iowa gets vest restraints.
What does it mean when you say a ride doesn’t “track” well such as at the 7:27 marking?
It relates to how well the train navigates the track. A ride doesn't track well if the train shuffles or jerks through an element.
@@CanobieCoaster what do you mean?
@@poopsock7493 he literally explained it
@@CanobieCoaster I thought it meant transitions and stuff
I rode the exact same model of Tiger Express at the Edinburgh Christmas Market a few hours ago and literally what you said applied to this one too.
Oh wow!
In the video of top 25 worst roller coasters in the world (2020) from Canobie Coaster, Coast Rider at Knott's Berry Farm was included. Coast Rider is a Mack wild mouse coaster from the large park model. But no other installations like the Legoland ones were in the video.
Coast Rider is the only wild mouse that is extremely painful.
I forgot about this, but as a bigger guy, Gotham City Gauntlet at Six Flags New England felt like it was going to break my ribs! Because of how i sit the edge of the coaster seat/train digs right into my ribs. Going around those switchbacks felt like a knife digging into me and when i got off i was checking to see if I broke a rib! That hurt like hell and I hate all switchbacks to this day! I would rather ride the janky Galaxy model any day over that, as at least it did not try to break me!
Those wild mice coasters feel cramped even for me and I'm just 5'9".
What do you think about Goliath at Six Flags New England?
The vest train replacement on some SLCs got more comfortable and less painful?
In the case of Goliath at Six Flags New England, was the old train more painful or rougher than the new train?
The new train on Goliath was rougher. The restraints were bulky and it didn't track well.
California's Great America used to have a stand-up coaster that would box your ears so bad, my friends and I rode it once, and never again! I think it was called Iron Wolf.
Vortex was ok.
once when i was a kid my friend took me to this fair and made me marathon this...idk how to describe this coaster it was so long ago (approx 2007-9 but middle of nowhere kansas no idea how old it could have been) and it's nothing like im familiar with..kind of like a kids wild mouse? like really small and compact 5-15 ft tall but a good amount of elements in there. i don't remember if it was wooden or not but it definitely had no colors. anyway it was brutal, super rough, i just remember bracing myself lol, i hated it every time but i think it was technically my first credit.
Sounds like a Zamperla mini mouse/Fiesta Express.
I like the SLC model and all built installations.
What do you think about Wild One at Six flags America
Wild One is great.
9:17 that’s the same layout as the dragon wagon at my local fair. I came off that one with a large gash on my knee and multiple on my legs. So I’m guessing roughness is an issue with that particular layout
Yes and the number of laps.
What do you think about Thunderhawk at Dorney Park, rougher than Coaster Express at Parque Warner Madrid?
No
Hey Canobie! Have you been to galaxy land and ridden mind bender?
I have and I have a review on Mindbender.
Well , CE being in the first place is fair to be honest . However let’s see how the retrack goes and maybe if you try it back again when it’s done, it might be able to gain some advantage over the other ones in the list. But until then you made an accurate list :)
I don't know when I'll be back at Parque Warner, but it'll probably be a decent time after this retracking. It may be rough again by that point.
@@CanobieCoaster well mb not that long if the rumored intimidad multi launch coaster comes true XDDD
I enjoying watching these "worst coasters I've ridden" type videos. Not for sadistic thrills; just like .... yeah glad I didn't ride them!
Worst I've ever ridden was .... Drachen Fire WITH it's infamous corkscrew post MCBR!
edit: Wow, you're the first coaster enthusiast channel I've watched that actually likes the Volares!
I have always been fascinated by Drachen Fire because of how odd the layout was.
My least favorite in Sweden is in grona lund and is called the wild mouse. It’s like some of the coasters you showed and in every turn you get slammed against the side and it’s just really painful to ride, it has ups and downs but the legs usually hurt after riding it along with your thighs and a headache.
I enjoyed that one. I also like laterals though
Coast Rider, the Mack wild mouse coaster at Knott's Berry Farm, was placed in this video. Coast Rider is a Mack wild mouse large park model. Another installation of the Mack wild mouse large park model is Fly at Canada's Wonderland, but that one was not placed in this video.
It was not.
Disagree with Goldrusher. I put it at #5 at Carowinds so that leaves half the park worse. No rougher than Trailblazer and more enjoyable as a coaster. Plus it's right in the center of the park and connects everything together. Those odd seat pads do redefine "edge of your seat" though haha.
My worst list would be a list of flying coasters, followed by B&M standups. Although perhaps fliers have some redeeming value in the humor aspect of them.
I enjoy flyers, but I agree they have some weird forces. I used to hate B&M stand-ups until I figured out how to ride them (made a video on getting the restraint down).
Aftershock at Silverwood still uses the original Giant Inverted Boomerang trains. But Goliath received trains from Premier Rides to make boarding and dispatches faster and improved. History of the Six Flags Giant Inverted Boomerangs as well as the trains is seen more in the video of Failed Coasters: Goliath at Six flags New England from Theme Park Crazy.
Those trains ruined Goliath.
I went on The Electro Spin. I’m skinny, and i mean skinny. So it didn’t click to the right place for me so i was crushed on the whole ride, i would be between the tightest click and second tightest click, the second would be too loose, so it was really tight. It’s an awesome ride though.
Btw the ride is at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO
I've ridden similar diskos elsewhere.
Were the suspended upside down moments of Sequoia Magic Loop at Gardaland comfortable, uncomfortable, or how?
Awkward and uncomfortable with the restraints.
13:00 what is it with RCCA and those long drawn out helixes? Which one is worse that one or the Rose Bowl of Son of Beast?
I never rode Son of Beàst, but they look comparable.
I know watching in RCDB a lot of standard layout SLCs. What do you think about
Condor at Walibi Holland (old trains)
Kong at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
Ednör l'Attaque at La Ronde
Gauntlet at Magic Springs
Vampire at Walibi Belgium
Riddler's Revenge at Six Flags New England (and before)
MP Xpress at Movie Park Germany
and how many SLCs have you ridden?
did you like them?
I'm also referring to the traditional over the shoulder restraints?
I hate most of those rides. Riddler Revenge with the new restraints is ok and Gauntlet isn't too bad.
What differences between the RMC shin guards and the Coast Rider shin guards?
The Coast Rider ones come down way further.
What do you think about Hurler at Carowinds and Hurler at Kings Dominion? worse than Canyon Blaster at Great Escape, Wildcat at Lake Compounce, Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce, and Tiger Express at Washington State Fair?
Hurler is slow, but not brutal like Wildcat or Tiger Express. Canyon Blaster is more boring.
Wildcat at frontier city made me feel like a needle was in my heart at the brakes
That one is more boring than rough for me.
I kinda like the variety on this list, there's some I've never even heard of!
It's to raise awareness for bad rides.
Out of the Great Escape coasters I’m surprised you didn’t pic Steamin Demon. The nightmare was a bit jerky for being in the dark canyon blaster is hit or miss maybe if it had up stop wheels it would be a little smoother.
My head is above the OSTR on Steamin' Demon (or any Arrow looper). As a kid, that ride hurt me though.
Vampire at Walibi Belgium has still the over the shoulder restraints, as that is a Vekoma SLC. Was that worse than Blue Tornado at Gardaland?
Blue Tornado is worse since the padding is harder.
My least favorite is Hurler at Kings Dominion. Thank goodness they turned it into Twisted Timbers. After watching your favorite 50 amusement parks, it got me wondering if you had considered talking about your least favorite as well?
The reason I hesitate to rank least favorite amusement parks is that it depends what you count (ex. when do FECs count) and one bad visit could heavily weight the ranking.
@@CanobieCoaster funcenters with 1 roller coaster and is 75% arcade doesn’t count
Vortex makes Kiddy Hawk seem pleasurable, did we go to the same Carowinds? It's my home park and I've seen girls get their earrings torn out on it on two separate occasions the headbanging is so violent.
I've never experienced pain on Carolina Goldrusher but it could be because I'm not a super tall guy or something idk. The thing about mine trains in general is you'll get shin/thigh pain if two really small kids are in the front of your car because a lot of them adjust to fit the first of the two to three rows in a car. I think Cedar Creek Mine Train is the worst to the shins.
I have a video how to ride B&M stand-ups, but I like Vortex. The key is to get the restraint below ear-level (jamming it into your shoulders). That way your head doesn't hit anything.
Number 11: Apocalypse at Six Flags America. The floorless conversion to Firebird was a vast improvement if you ask me. In its old form the original B&M stand up was decent and ok.
The old form was rougher.
Number 20: Wildcat at Lake Compounce. This wood coaster is nearly 100 years old and the park decided to retrack this classic ride a few years ago and it replaced the old three bench PTC trains with Millennium Flyers. However the coaster somehow...
Sadly it got worse. And it wasn't good to begin with.
what is the hershey wildcat going to be called?
Wildcat's Revenge.
Number 13: Nightmare at Crack Axle Canyon at Great Escape. This was an indoor Schwarzkopf Jet Star. I enjoyed Tigr'r at Indiana Beach, but the one at Great Escape...
That ride was a disaster. Rough and low throughput.
Also, I'd like to say that, a long time ago, I rode that Hurler at Paramount's Carowinds in Charlotte with my sister (back when that movie studio owned that amusement park there; Cedar Fair owns the park now), and I was hanging on for dear life every minute of the ride (my sister, on the other hand, just plain relished it); I'm autistic, and that Hurler was a very unpleasant experience for me.
Oh no!
If you don’t mind me asking, how many credits do you have?
1033
Now I know range is rough but I appreciate the history behind the herchell designs, so I would put some more points for that
Their other smaller coasters are fine.
Coming in at number 1 is Coaster Express at Parque Warner Madrid. This coaster is great. Every inch of RCCA track is perfectly designed to give more laterals and forces to the riders.
That ride is trash.
Worst one I've ridden is Python on Playland's Castaway Cove. It was one of those Pinfari looping zyklons. Several things made this ride terrible:
1. Hard over the shoulder restraints
2. Extremely rough track
3. Very cramped cars
4. Terrible and jenky transitions
This ride even had a sketch factor to it as one time the restraints popped up several notches during the ride. I was fine but it definitely freaked me the hell out.
I'm glad they replaced it with Gale Force, a much better ride.
I still need to ride one of those Pinfari looping zyklons.
@@CanobieCoaster Well I wouldn't say you're missing out on much lol. I think the next closest one from Castaway Cove is at Jolly Roger's in Ocean City, MD.
The Cannon Ball at Canobie Lake is also a very Uncomfortable Coaster because of the Track Car's Lap Bars smacking your Knees when you get Air Time, and if you want a Headache, try the Mind Eraser at Six Flags New England.
Yankee Cannonball is running smoother than ever right now.
@@CanobieCoaster Good to know. I haven't been on it since 2004.
late to the party but i'd like to throw Hurricane at Fun Spot America: Atlanta into the mix. rode it about 2 weeks ago for the credit and i genuinely was afraid in the back row because of the lack of trim brakes and the fact that several points of the track looked misaligned while i was riding. got the credit but never again
I like that ride, but it is janky.
New England wooden coaster rider here! Damn, you’re not kidding about the Wildcat
Only ride I know that got way worse after a retrack.
I'm really glad I wasn't able to ride Nightmare at the Great Escape. But surprised to see Canyon Blaster from there, and really surprised to see Carolina Gold Rusher too. I found Carowinds' mine train to be pretty intense and fun. Also Kiddy Hawk is definitely my least favorite coaster ever. It managed to be boring and painful.
I find Canyon Blaster and Goldrusher to be rather boring and jerky, which is why they made the list. At least some of the other mine trains are smooth or give a surprise pop of airtime.
@@CanobieCoaster Thats fair. Canyon Blaster is pretty boring except the final helix. I found Carolina Goldrusher to be pretty fun though but I see why its unenjoyable.
@@genericnameryan The other problem is that when Canyon Blaster builds up speed in that helix, it has those jolts between levels.
@@CanobieCoaster That is definitely true. I actually completely forgot about the jolting. It seems I finally found my guilty pleasure coaster model lol.
@@CanobieCoaster Don't forget the nice slams you get when you transition from the old track to new track
What's the most shimmying coaster you've ridden in the world? What's the coaster that shimmied you the most? What's the coaster with the most noticeable shimmying you've ever had? The biggest quantity of shimmying you had on any coaster? What do you think?
Range at Yesterland Farm, Wildcat at Lake Compounce, Hell Cat at Clementon Park, Coaster Express at Parque Warner Madrid, Bandit at Movie Park Germany, Falken at Fårup Sommerland, or Hades 360 at Mt Olympus?
Coaster Express.
Which mean streak were you referring the back row of mean streak?
It was an old and very rough wood coaster at Cedar Point.
I like Dragon Khan and Furius Baco at Port Aventura, are those rough, would you like to ride again those? Is Furius Baco better or worse than Coaster Express? And Dragon Khan? both are in the same country
Furius Baco is very bouncy. Watch a reverse POV to see. Dragon Khan is very smooth. Coaster Express is bad.
The objectively worst coaster I've ridden was probably the infamous Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The thing is, I feel a little bad saying that because I actually enjoyed it at the time--it was extremely thrilling and I rode it multiple times! I was young and I could take a beating. But I was sore for days afterward, and it actually put me off big modern coasters for years; because as a relatively inexperienced rider, I assumed that new coasters of that scale all rode like that and that I'd need to be in a superheroic mood to take them on. It was only many years later, reading historical accounts, that I realized Drachen Fire was considered a notorious mistake and that the hammering I'd gotten was unusual.
Drachen Fire intrigued me because of how different it was from Arrow's other loopers, but I know I would have hated how rough it was.
The layout was brilliant. If they'd just executed it correctly it would have been a classic.
@@MattMcIrvin back off the swine is mine
This video is hilarious.
I love hearing rants about obscure attractions, especially from the rare TH-cam coaster enthusiast who actually knows what he's talking about!
I yelled like a girl when I saw Range at #9. What a piece of hot garbage haha
Range is spectacularly awful.
Have you ridden Hell Cat at Clementon Park? Feels like one that would make the cut here.
