I mentioned Canobie Lake Park's Yankee Cannonball as one that put my daughter off big coasters, but for *me*, that was the one that got me back in. A 1930s classic with an interesting history.
Vekoma retracks. Not the SLC ones, but the normal looping ones. I just associate the track with being painful, but while the retracks look the same: They are smooth as butter.
So because of life I had stopped riding coasters for a while and made it to sfne at the end of July and got a back row ride on wicked cyclone I have since renewed all of my passes and have made it to four parks this year
Son of Beast for me. Literally dislocated my shoulder and then relocated it on the same ride. Was done for the day and because it was on a coaster trip, done for the trip, too.
If I ride El Toro at all, for me it's usually an end-of-day ride as I'm prone to get headaches on it. It is quite an exciting night ride though so in a way it's a good one to end on when I visit during the fall.
The original gwazi in BGT in the final years before its closure was super rough. It was to the point where I dreaded riding it when I went to BGT with my friends.
Ever since it aged enough it's just been a mess with poor maintenance. If another park could close there intamin pre-fab model when it was suffering such issues, and reopen it feeling close enough to new/restoration well-done, then it could or could've been done for El Toro. They clearly have no clue what they are doing, only taking in the enthusiasts incredible rose-tinted glasses. I miss when it was actually awesome and not a mess. Post-2015 I would've never said anything bad about it. Clear it should be intamin who does a full retrack, or if it can be at this point (idk about the whole pre-fab thing and compatibility), just RMC it. It'd cost less in the long run, and you can keep it mostly the same while maybe adding in a couple inversions. Not that new texas giant isn't good because it is, but not sure if that would bring the draw if they couldn't say "Iron Bull" or whatever didn't change anything.
This may be an unpopular opinion, but Verbolten ruined me during my first visit to Busch Gardens Williamsburg in June of 2023. The speed at which the tight helix is taken in the dark after the launch into the show building made me feel like my head was being squeezed in a vice. It's a shame as I adore well-themed attractions most of all and I expected Verbolten to be my favorite at the park, but I found the forces to be too much and thought the ride had quite a rattle throughout. I hope it'll be re-tracked someday!
The ride is fine and doesn't need to be retracked. When I was younger verbolten was one of the first rollercoastera id ridden. Left me scared of them for years. 8 years later and I'm a coaster enthusiast studying engineering to hopefully become a coaster designer.
Wildcat at Lake Compounce is still VERY rough despite them retracking it twice within the last 8 years. The coaster is almost 100 years old too which attributes to why it's so uncomfortable. I still like riding it though.
Same for me. I havent ridden it over 20 years despite I live basically next to the park and have worked there. Ill ride next year with the GG retracking
My favorite ride at Magic Mountain is Green Lantern. I remember my nuts hurting so bad after I got off of it. Good ride. 10/10. Would never go on it again
I rode Son of Beast once when it still had the loop. I have never had a more painful experience in my life! My side hurt for some time after we finished!! Rode it with my best friend. When we got off the ride we looked at each other and both said, "I am never gonna ride this thing again!!!" It was a one and done!!!! The Beast...love it!! Son of Beast...hated it!!!!!
So when I was a kid (I’m a decade older than y’all haha and grew up in the 90s) we rode The Rattler at Fiesta Texas last because it gave us all a headache. This was before it became iron rattler which unfortunately I haven’t ridden yet bc my kids are just now getting tall enough and into coasters but yeah it was rough and there was even a sign that said take off your earrings before ridding!!! We rode it last before going home and always took advil before getting on the ride because it lived up to its name RATTLER!! It didn’t stop us from ridding but it was a one and done at the end of the day. I grew up with Astroworld Houston so that’s how old I am and it closed a year after I graduated HS! Love y’all’s videos and my kids do too!
Vortex at Canada's Wonderland. Gave me a massive headache... Every transition is a headbanger, and then you slam into the final brake run and come to a complete stop in like 1 second. The trains then proceed to keep swinging back and forth for a minute before you can move forward into the station. The roughest coaster I've ever been on to this day.
The wooden roller coaster at La Feria in Mexico City hurt my spine in a way that I developed scoliosis as a child, it took me years to ride a roller coaster again, I went to Magic Mountain last year and I was surprised how smooth rides are nowadays, even full throttle with that launch was smooth to me, also six flags Mexico has smooth rides, at magic mountain I loved flight of courage and twisted colossus
Once rode the ancient wild mouse coaster in Sydney Australia and came off bleeding from both legs, that thing was violent and no wonder it's still closed, the one at Blackpool wasn't much better
Ironically the only coaster that really hurt me was Little Leaper, the children's coaster at Lakemont Park. Slammed me into the side of the car and covered my right side in bruises.
Vortex kings island. Before it closed. I live bed it when I was a kid, but by time it closed, I would only ride it once a year- after taking three excedrin and waiting an hour.
My parents are at the age now where they've stopped riding coasters but my dad really went out on a high giving Red Force at Ferrari Land a go for his last ride.
My first ride on SFA’s Mind Eraser, I hit my foot on the back of the seat and it was numb for a good five minutes. Also Roar before the retrack. I’ve never actively screamed profanity or got a headache from any other coaster.
viper at sfmm. i hit my head so hard i got a concussion. obviously i was done riding for the day and had symptoms for weeks after. second guessed coasters altogether for a while after that.
Odd that i haven't seen anyone talk about Demon at Six Flags Great American in IL. Most of the ride is fairly good, but that last corkscrew at the very end just a nightmare. I always get a headache after, and shoulder pain 😩
I remember riding a roller coaster that was a pain of hell. Wildcat at Lake Compounce was 1,000 percent rougher than the Revenge version at the Hershey Park. I hope Lake Compounce does some re-upgrading to this thing because it was an “OUCH” city.
I rode Saw The Ride when I was 11. It was absolutely terrifying, and it gave me nightmares for 2 weeks. I rode it again 4 years later after many times where I refused to ride. If I didn't ride Nemesis Inferno before, I may not have ridden another coaster.
If The Ultimate (Lightwater Valley, UK) was still around that would 100% make this list. It was brutal and genuinely made me worry that I had concussion.
When my family went to magic mountain we decided to ride Tatsu twice in a row and the second time we hit that pretzel loop shut down my mom for a goooood hour.
The only roller coaster that I have rode that almost called it quit was the Carolina Cyclone and hurler at carowinds but I never called it quit because I rode afterburn
Ride that pleasantly shocked me was Anaconda at Kings Dominon. I knew what I was getting into so I braced myself and it was fine. Not something I would want to marathon 5 times in a row. However, one or two times I would be perfectly fine.
Backlot Stunt Coaster made me throw up. I puked my guts out afterwards and stopped riding for the day. I was worried about Anaconda and it turns out Backlot was what got me.
I remember the first year of lost island I can off there slc crying because I rode it in the first row then the boss luckily I rode it like last but then my back hurt so bad for the rest of the day.
a couple that did it for me: Predator in 2018 nearly made me vomit it was so rough Kong gave me a really bad headache Also thought I'd mention that my first visit to great escape last year comet was running rougher than normal but then i visited like 2 weeks later and it was fine :/
Back row of Hades 360 in 2023 had me pissed. The layout is god tier but needs to be retracked or topper tracked or something. Too rough. Pegasus for the credit had me pissed off too.
I305 - it was just too intense my my old self. If I was in my 30s again…no problem. I didn’t greyout, but it just wasn’t fun. But, I got the cred…and a headache. Lucky I got Volcano first. That was a “blast”. 2nd place would be Roar at SFA. It’s always been rough, but it’s literally unrideable now. RMC it or tear it down.
Day 1 of our honeymoon my wife and I went to Dollywood. Thunderhead messed her up and she couldn’t move her neck the next day. Had to go to the ER and she got a steroid shot 😬. She won’t ride wooden coasters to this day.
For me the worst roller coaster that was almost always a skip was the original Gwazi. Every now and again me and my sister would try to convince ourselves that maybe its not as bad as we remembered and would try it again. MISTAKE! Got jack hammered so much that we always came off of it sore and with a budding headache. Honorable mention to Six Flags Stl for The Boss and Ninja. I went there a couple times while I was working in Stl and legitimately wondered if I was getting too old for roller coasters I hurt so bad. The only even slightly good coaster there is Mr Freeze with the batman being a distant second. Got so beat up that I didn't ride coasters again till I moved back to Florida. Never realized how good we have it here with Busch Gardens, Sea world and Universal. Not all of the Florida coasters are as amazing as Iron Gwazi and Velocicoaster but, practically any coaster from here would have a legitimate chance at being the #1 or #2 coaster at Six Flags Stl the lineup is so atrocious. They desperately need some retracking or the RMC treatment for most of the rides. Very disappointing park for how large the Stl metro area is.
Mine Blower is the worst ride in terms of pain I’ve ever ridden. If you really need the credit ride it as your last ride and make sure you have someone to drive you to your hotel or home.
All I see in this vid is rampant weakness. I was raised and nurtured as an enthusiast by Arrow megaloopers like Shockwave, I can survive anything without quitting.
Meanwhile me: I rode Big Apple Coaster after the Premier trains, and... Did it turn me away from coasters? No. But... It made me a coaster enthusiast😂 Yeah, I'm embarrassed to say that lol
Why pay for a chiropractor when you can just ride Matterhorn at Disneyland! Probably a great ride for kids, love the theming and Harold but for tall people and anyone over the age of 30, heck no!
El Toro is a painful disaster. The amount of enthusiasts and the whole "there's like one correct seat" thing. Those wierdly made Intamin trains. Then the park allegedly has spent lots of money to "fix it" but it's only band-aid fixes so it works but the ride experience is awful. In 2015, I would've never said this, nor in years before, and certainly not in it's first 5 years of being built. Pending the pre-fab situation, maybe by the time they want to get another coaster they can RMC it. Would've been much better for the 50th anniversary to make a large, fun and insane but poorly kept together being restored essentially back to what it was meant to be. It's track is even similiar to what they do with retracking (RMC), so maybe they should've tried that instead of whatever nonsense they have been trying to pull off especially post-2020. Of course these morons can't even paint Nitro. But theyll fix the lights on the ferris wheel after who knows how many years (stopped counting). P.S. I love wooden coasters, but this one just isn't going to beable to exist forever on it's current path. If it became basically a steel/hybrid then maybe instead of another filler coaster they could install a GCI in the future. Frankly a park as big as SFGADV should've had that on the to-do-list when rolling thunder was removed, and even with the pathway down to the drop tower there is plently of room over in that spot, unless the congo rapids area could be repurposed (or isn't too swampy).
Call me crazy, but I got a few rides on Son of Beast all the way back in 2001, and I actually got some good rides. Must've caught it on the 1 good weekend.
Well currently i am not at that level but they have inspired it to work as hard as you can and persevere, ik that this is said a lot but seriously do the best you can and do what u wanna do man,

Honorable Mention: Dragon at Adventureland. Now defunct of course. My homepark…. I’m a die hard enthusiast- and painfully rode it every visit. Some of those Hopkins were brutal!! Almost everyone agreed that Dragon was the worst of them
All right, all right all right…. Geez you guys don’t have to court me any more 😂😂… you’ve earned my subscription. You two are awesome. I enjoy your videos.
I rode The Rattler, Texas Giant and Big Apple Coaster consecutively. Each one ruined my day. 20 years later I’m back into coasters even though I’m middle aged. I saw a video about Steel Vengeance in 2018 and wanted to ride it so bad that I drove from Austin, Tx to Cedar Point in August 2018 and I’m now trying to get as many of the major credits before I’m too old. I’ve learned to just skip the rides that I know won’t be worth the roughness and not care about the quantity of my coaster credits but rather the quality.
Darien Lake is my home park and I rode Predator last week. They retracked a lot of it, including replacing the turns with steel track. Still a pretty rough ride, but not even close to how bad it used to be. Roughest ride I've ever experienced was the original Wildcat at Hersheypark, kinda surprised it didn't make the list.
Screamin Eagle at St. Louis made me take a solid hour break. The setting and layout is so good, but that’s been the first time I’ve been afraid a coaster was gonna derail
For me it’s Maxx force at sfgam the first time I rode it I did not know their was brakes on the final drop and when I put my hands up I got folded over the lap bar and got winded and it messed up my neck
Sarah, so sorry you were the one to read my El Toro comment! I know it hurt your soul. lol. But it hurt my back! Besides, I can’t wait to ride it again in the most optimal seat. I know I have to be in the right seat on X2 or else it’s painful, but I still love it. Same will be true for El Toro when I return.
Saw The Ride at thorpe park is one of them coasters that is so rough needs to be sorted out its such a good layout but it being so rough makes it a bad coaster
You wanna Read this one- So my home park is SFGA and we were going to Wistonsing dells and we always go to Noahs ark but I really wanted to get my credits on HADES 360. so we go in, go to the waterpark first, ride medusas slide wheel, ride some other slides then I go to ride this ride(Mind you I was and still am a rce to my core, also I was 13 now 14.) So as riding the pre-lift was all that I had to know about this ride, anyway right after the drop the second you go underground, I grayed out( literally never happens) then, basically, The train was shaking like a malfunctioning massage chair My chest and me were vibrating so hard I wasn't able to breath it really felt like if someone put you in that malfunctioning massage chair then took one of those things you use to carve out sculptures out of rock, and pound that against your chest. after the first tunnel, we go out into the inversion and airtime hill, and back into it. at this point I don't think I have felt that much pain in my short life and I wouldn't do it even if someone were to kill my cat or give me Vaults of money. after the ride, I anent able to breath properly for 10 minutes, I was stumbling down the stairs while holding my tears and holding my chest, we still had hours at the park and I was still horrible exiting the park(obviously I didn't show/tell my parents, they would tell me to stop riding rollercoasters and I would rather idk do scuiside. btw I also has slightly blurry vision getting out of station. idk I'm fine now also in line for RTH!!
I remember riding Ghost Rider at Knotts about 4 or 5 years ago now; a little while after it was re-tracked, after that, the next day my back was in terrible pain and it lasted for 5 days, could barely get up. Great ride, will ride again.
Rode Coney Island Cyclone first and only time in 2014. Came off of it with a big bleeding gash in my shin because there was a sharp metal edge on the rim of the car. Didn't even notice it until after I came off of it, so it didn't really give me a bad experience, but it's the only roller coaster that has drawn blood from me. (The cut healed up with no problems.)
I think I slammed into that same edge. I rode it 7x on my day there, but my leg slammed into something hard, and it hurt so much. It didn't happen on my first few rides.
I used to think that HRRR wasn’t that bad but my last visit to UO completely changed my mind. Idk if it was the specific seat I was in but the restraint tightened so much that it actually bruised my midsection. Also, La Vibora is a steaming pile of dog poop, first time riding it messed my neck up lol
You just had to bring up Nopuko Air Coaster lol. That was my first ever time on an SLC last summer and I can confirm that first inversion in the front row was the worst element I've ever experienced. I hit my neck on the restraint and spent the rest of the ride just shouting "BAD IDEA!!! BAD IDEA!! SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!"
The worst roller coaster I've ever ridden was T3 at Kentucky Kingdom, it was a literal headache, and when the restraints were crushing my thighs more than Skyrush, goodbye and good riddance to that one.
SFGA needs to do better with maintaining el toro and their other coasters. Hopefully now with the merger cedar point emphasizes coaster maintenance every off season or at least much more frequently.
For me it was Wildcat at Lake Compounce. It was my first big coaster and it was so bad. I was scared off of roller coasters until my late teens cuz I thought they all hurt like that. It took not looking like a wimp in front of a girl I liked to get on Superman at SFNE years later to get into coasters. I have not been on Wildcat since...until next year since it's getting the Gravity Group treatment now. I live about 10 minutes from LC and the fact I havent ridden that thing in like 20 years says alot. Other things...broke a rib on Backlot Stunt Coaster at KD in 2022. Thanks Premier restraints! Mineblower...yeah the video says it all. Grizzly...also at KD before it got GG'd...,thank god I rode this before I broke my rib later in the day
Interesting, comparing to my story. On my first New England coaster trip, Wildcat at Lake Compounce was so terrible for me too, on an extremely crowded weekday at the park with horrible lines. I left the park early because I was done, but then I decided to stop at a very empty Six Flags New England before they close and ride Superman. That restored my faith in roller coasters and parks, just a couple hours after losing it.
My wife rode Hollywood Rip Ride and rocket when we were on a church trip to Orlando in 2022 and has not expressed any interest in being on another roller coaster since. She has a health situation that contributes to that as well, but it's definitely the kind of coaster that can retire somebody from being a roller coaster fan
I would say Hurricane at Fun Spot got me to check out, but I rode it twice to get front and back row experiences, and returned for Mineblower later in the day after they had completed smoothing a transition, testing the train, and after a storm went through. Which is another coaster that should make the list, but I also rode it twice to see how different rows felt and got off thinking “just retrack all of it” both times. This was last year That being said my experience with both Mineblower and RRR in 2017 had the restraints too tight, which absolutely sucks for that style of restraint. For me it was more “off-center in the seat.” And Mineblower crushed my waist that time (also had a tight belt on and was constipated on that trip so that was an awful experience). Keep those restraints comfortable or a little loose if possible is my advice. For Rockit though… after my rides this year, it makes a big difference whether you get a rear seat in a car or not. It’s fine in rows 1,2,4, and 5, but not in 3 or 6. Honestly it’s rerideable in the good seats.
As much as I love skyrush it definitely gave me the most painful moment on any ride. I’m a pretty tall lanky guy so roller coasters throw me around easily, at the bottom of the drop I had my hands up and since there is basically no lateral support, my whole body got thrown to the side and at that speed I couldn’t get myself back in position until the top of the first airtime hill. Basically I thought I broke my back for a second but ended up being fine, it hurt for a few weeks though. Still in my top 10 lol
That's the exact reason why I never have my hands up on Skyrush. I felt a strain in the back on my first ride with my hands up. Hands have stayed down since, and I love it.
I've never really had this because once I'm at a park, I'm locked in and not slowing down. Closest thing i have to needing to stop was after riding Colossus at Thorpe Park on back row. It was just so rough, I've never had my head bashed so hard against the restraints, i had to take a break for a solid 20 (and 2 pints of beer) to get that pain to stop lol. I then went on SAW - The Ride 4 times, because it is not that rough, idk what people are on lmao, compared to Colossus, this thing is smooooooth.
Cedar Creek Mine Ride at Cedar Point almost did that for me. It ran way rougher than a roller coaster has any right to, and I almost quit after that ride in 2016
Honestly, a recent example for me was Shivering Timbers in July 2023. It was beyond brutal! Even rougher than Boss, but Boss has no airtime to redeem it. Shivering Timbers does, and if you ride in row 1 or row 11, it's tolerable. Every other row is terrible. Another recent example was the new Wild Mouse at Cedar Point. The awkward seating and horrible torso restraints threw my back out. I thought I was going to need back surgery, but I recovered fine. Pipeline at SeaWorld also gave quite a smashing on the nuts downstairs, and I thought I needed to quit for the day. But I figured out a way to ride it without getting nut-crushing, but it's not easy. Past year's examples are Boss & Mine Blower. Will never ride them again, until they truly get fixed. I hear Mine Blower is still terrible, as they only retracked the first drop. Further back examples are Texas Giant and Rattler.
On Kingda Ka, my friend threw out his back first time he went on. I didn't believe him and thought he was just being a crybaby. Nope. Went back almost a year later and same damn thing happened to me. Either my back cracked during the launch, or more likely, my neck was too far forward during the ascent so I had like 5 G's pulling my head down away from my back. Excruciating back pain for about 3+ days following the ride. Stretch a little before any of these, and keep your damn head back! Never made me want to quit, but boy did it remind me to keep my head in proper position... Actually, a few days ago at Fun Spot Orlando, White Lightning was super fun, but I was putting my elbow next to me on what I thought was soft, but it was hitting the hard plastic "liner" between the outside of the car and the inside of the cushion. Either keep your hands up, or tuck your elbow in. Took me 'till the second ride to realize the issue, but still went on 6 more times and out of habit still hit my elbow a bunch more times. Minor issue compared to Kingda Ka though.
I need to get back on Mineblower. Having ridden Velocicoaster I still thought Mineblower was my favorite ride in Florida (only missing Iron Gwazi which would probably be better).
So I haven't ridden a roller coaster since 2013, but I've never really had an experience that made want to "quit" roller coasters. I guess the closest would've been Son of Beast back in the day. I managed two rides when my Dad and I visited King's Island in 2002, and I somehow convinced the old man to ride with me in the back. That ride beat the piss out of us and I think he seriously wanted to murder me afterwards. I've also got at least one Vekoma SLC to my credit and I would be very pleased to not ride any of them more than once; just get the credit and move on. That said, if I had been able to ride Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens before it was closed (they shut it down right as I became tall enough to ride it), that one probably would've done it, given its reputation.
When Raptor first opened at Cedar Point I made 2 mistakes riding it. first mistake was I had a hangover. you should never ride things hung over. second mistake was I didn't know I had to protect my head from the restraints. my other bad experience was Dominator when it was at Geauga Lake. it had a station wait that day so my date and I decided to get right back on. big mistake. they call it Dominator for a reason. I ended up with really bad motion sickness and almost hurled on my date
The now defunct "GREAT AMERICAN SCREAM MACHINE" at Six Flag's Great Adventure in NJ, takes the cake. With the also defunct "Bat Man The Chiller" coming in second. I've been on many coasters, but these were absolutely brutal with those God awful shoulder restraints. Instant migraine upon disembarking, with aches & pains all throughout your body the following morning. The Coney Island CYCLONE's back row would also be a killer too, if it weren't for that fabulous airtime buffet it gives you and those very well padded couch like seats. Thanks for the post!
This is a weird one and not technically a roller coaster, but Round-Up rides, they get to me in a way that not many rides get to. I've been on crazier coasters and flats than those, but they just mess me up. The Scat ride at Bay Beach is another one.
Felt the headaches, I get them a lot and sometimes coasters will do it, although usually not bad my worse experience with getting a major headache after a coaster was wildcat to the point I rode wildcat one time and then just waited for RMC to do their magic years later before trying again 😂
Grizzly at kings Dominion. First time on a wooden coaster at like 11 and I was like why does it feel like it was breaking all the air time I hated it... Now All grown me is like spectacular give me 15 more of em
For me it was Python at efteling before the retrack in 2016. I was 11 or 12 but as a kid I had a weak back. The first loop instandly hurt my back so much that i was done for the day and the one after. It was a 3 day trip, thank god i did Baron before that because that was my first ride on that, i would have hated to skip that one. Since then i've been kind of scared of python and first rode it again in 2022, the retrack is really good but still don't love python because of the bad memories, plus i mean the layout is nothing special. I haven't been on condor yet but i will visit walibi Holland soon. I'm a bit scared of condor, speed of sound and xpress platform 13, but especially condor. I'm not sure yet if i'll ride that when i visit lol

What about a video about coaster redemptions? Rides that actually made you re-appreciate coaster types or rollercoasters as a whole!
I mentioned Canobie Lake Park's Yankee Cannonball as one that put my daughter off big coasters, but for *me*, that was the one that got me back in. A 1930s classic with an interesting history.
arrow suspended coasters ❤️❤️
Honestly The Coaster that made Me An Enthusiast Was Incredicoaster
Vekoma retracks. Not the SLC ones, but the normal looping ones. I just associate the track with being painful, but while the retracks look the same: They are smooth as butter.
So because of life I had stopped riding coasters for a while and made it to sfne at the end of July and got a back row ride on wicked cyclone I have since renewed all of my passes and have made it to four parks this year
Son of Beast for me. Literally dislocated my shoulder and then relocated it on the same ride. Was done for the day and because it was on a coaster trip, done for the trip, too.
Never been on El Toro, but I'm guessing it's not just the seat that affects your experience, but also the year and time of year.
If I ride El Toro at all, for me it's usually an end-of-day ride as I'm prone to get headaches on it. It is quite an exciting night ride though so in a way it's a good one to end on when I visit during the fall.
The original gwazi in BGT in the final years before its closure was super rough. It was to the point where I dreaded riding it when I went to BGT with my friends.
Ever since it aged enough it's just been a mess with poor maintenance. If another park could close there intamin pre-fab model when it was suffering such issues, and reopen it feeling close enough to new/restoration well-done, then it could or could've been done for El Toro.

Not that new texas giant isn't good because it is, but not sure if that would bring the draw if they couldn't say "Iron Bull" or whatever didn't change anything.
@@ArtfulAmy You have to ride it like a bull. If you learn where each turn is and prepare yourself for it you won’t get a headache.

The ride is fine and doesn't need to be retracked. When I was younger verbolten was one of the first rollercoastera id ridden. Left me scared of them for years. 8 years later and I'm a coaster enthusiast studying engineering to hopefully become a coaster designer.
Wildcat at Lake Compounce is still VERY rough despite them retracking it twice within the last 8 years. The coaster is almost 100 years old too which attributes to why it's so uncomfortable. I still like riding it though.
Same for me. I havent ridden it over 20 years despite I live basically next to the park and have worked there. Ill ride next year with the GG retracking
It's rough because Martin and Vleminckx screwed up the restoration. The new gravity group pre cut track should hopefully fix it
@AdamSmith-gs2dv No, it was trash before that retracking too
Ive never ridden it post-Martin and Vlemincx
My favorite ride at Magic Mountain is Green Lantern.
I remember my nuts hurting so bad after I got off of it. Good ride. 10/10. Would never go on it again
The ride was shipped to Canada, and possibly scrapped since then. Awful ride, but not even the worst defunct SFMM coaster. Flashback hurt WAY more.
I rode Son of Beast once when it still had the loop. I have never had a more painful experience in my life! My side hurt for some time after we finished!! Rode it with my best friend. When we got off the ride we looked at each other and both said, "I am never gonna ride this thing again!!!" It was a one and done!!!! The Beast...love it!! Son of Beast...hated it!!!!!
So when I was a kid (I’m a decade older than y’all haha and grew up in the 90s) we rode The Rattler at Fiesta Texas last because it gave us all a headache. This was before it became iron rattler which unfortunately I haven’t ridden yet bc my kids are just now getting tall enough and into coasters but yeah it was rough and there was even a sign that said take off your earrings before ridding!!! We rode it last before going home and always took advil before getting on the ride because it lived up to its name RATTLER!! It didn’t stop us from ridding but it was a one and done at the end of the day. I grew up with Astroworld Houston so that’s how old I am and it closed a year after I graduated HS! Love y’all’s videos and my kids do too!
Vortex at Canada's Wonderland. Gave me a massive headache... Every transition is a headbanger, and then you slam into the final brake run and come to a complete stop in like 1 second. The trains then proceed to keep swinging back and forth for a minute before you can move forward into the station. The roughest coaster I've ever been on to this day.
when I was a kid, it was Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens Williamsburg...I hit my head on it
The wooden roller coaster at La Feria in Mexico City hurt my spine in a way that I developed scoliosis as a child, it took me years to ride a roller coaster again, I went to Magic Mountain last year and I was surprised how smooth rides are nowadays, even full throttle with that launch was smooth to me, also six flags Mexico has smooth rides, at magic mountain I loved flight of courage and twisted colossus
Once rode the ancient wild mouse coaster in Sydney Australia and came off bleeding from both legs, that thing was violent and no wonder it's still closed, the one at Blackpool wasn't much better
Ironically the only coaster that really hurt me was Little Leaper, the children's coaster at Lakemont Park. Slammed me into the side of the car and covered my right side in bruises.
Vortex kings island. Before it closed. I live bed it when I was a kid, but by time it closed, I would only ride it once a year- after taking three excedrin and waiting an hour.
My parents are at the age now where they've stopped riding coasters but my dad really went out on a high giving Red Force at Ferrari Land a go for his last ride.
Mine was bandit at Movie Park Germany. I was happy that i ride it as last of the day before i was going to home.
My first ride on SFA’s Mind Eraser, I hit my foot on the back of the seat and it was numb for a good five minutes.
Also Roar before the retrack. I’ve never actively screamed profanity or got a headache from any other coaster.
viper at sfmm. i hit my head so hard i got a concussion. obviously i was done riding for the day and had symptoms for weeks after. second guessed coasters altogether for a while after that.
As England base , last year me and sister went to thorp park only ride we hated was SAW the ride as we gray out and what felt like wipelash
Flashback at Magic Mountain gave me cauliflower ear.
Odd that i haven't seen anyone talk about Demon at Six Flags Great American in IL. Most of the ride is fairly good, but that last corkscrew at the very end just a nightmare. I always get a headache after, and shoulder pain 😩
saw, goudurix and tonnerre du zeus before the retrack are the roughest coasters ive done
I remember riding a roller coaster that was a pain of hell. Wildcat at Lake Compounce was 1,000 percent rougher than the Revenge version at the Hershey Park. I hope Lake Compounce does some re-upgrading to this thing because it was an “OUCH” city.
Omg the original Texas Giant was awwwwwful! So rough, and such a long ride.
I rode Saw The Ride when I was 11. It was absolutely terrifying, and it gave me nightmares for 2 weeks. I rode it again 4 years later after many times where I refused to ride. If I didn't ride Nemesis Inferno before, I may not have ridden another coaster.
My girlfriend had vertigo after the final inversions on Outlaw Run and almost ruined the night 😂. That’s the only coaster she’s had a problem with.
@@k9feces I have heard that finale is crazy
If The Ultimate (Lightwater Valley, UK) was still around that would 100% make this list. It was brutal and genuinely made me worry that I had concussion.
Flashback used to known as Z-Force back when it used to be at SFGAm and SFOG.
For me, it was the original Gwazi. Towards the end, it would beat the stuffing out of you.
When my family went to magic mountain we decided to ride Tatsu twice in a row and the second time we hit that pretzel loop shut down my mom for a goooood hour.
I loved flashback, I'm glad I got to ride it.
Wildcat before the RMC make over actually left me with a bleeding cut. No other coaster has done that to me…..
Never happened to me on rough roller coasters
The only roller coaster that I have rode that almost called it quit was the Carolina Cyclone and hurler at carowinds but I never called it quit because I rode afterburn
Ride that pleasantly shocked me was Anaconda at Kings Dominon. I knew what I was getting into so I braced myself and it was fine. Not something I would want to marathon 5 times in a row. However, one or two times I would be perfectly fine.
Backlot Stunt Coaster made me throw up. I puked my guts out afterwards and stopped riding for the day. I was worried about Anaconda and it turns out Backlot was what got me.
The Big Apple Coaster - New York New York, Las Vegas (neck and back pain for days)
First time i went to SFMM i rode FlashBack....a true 1 and done.
I remember the first year of lost island I can off there slc crying because I rode it in the first row then the boss luckily I rode it like last but then my back hurt so bad for the rest of the day.
a couple that did it for me: Predator in 2018 nearly made me vomit it was so rough
Kong gave me a really bad headache
Also thought I'd mention that my first visit to great escape last year comet was running rougher than normal but then i visited like 2 weeks later and it was fine :/
Back row of Hades 360 in 2023 had me pissed. The layout is god tier but needs to be retracked or topper tracked or something. Too rough. Pegasus for the credit had me pissed off too.
Vampire at chessington was that ride for me when I was 9 🤣
I305 - it was just too intense my my old self. If I was in my 30s again…no problem. I didn’t greyout, but it just wasn’t fun. But, I got the cred…and a headache. Lucky I got Volcano first. That was a “blast”. 2nd place would be Roar at SFA. It’s always been rough, but it’s literally unrideable now. RMC it or tear it down.
Day 1 of our honeymoon my wife and I went to Dollywood. Thunderhead messed her up and she couldn’t move her neck the next day. Had to go to the ER and she got a steroid shot 😬. She won’t ride wooden coasters to this day.
For me the worst roller coaster that was almost always a skip was the original Gwazi. Every now and again me and my sister would try to convince ourselves that maybe its not as bad as we remembered and would try it again. MISTAKE! Got jack hammered so much that we always came off of it sore and with a budding headache. Honorable mention to Six Flags Stl for The Boss and Ninja. I went there a couple times while I was working in Stl and legitimately wondered if I was getting too old for roller coasters I hurt so bad. The only even slightly good coaster there is Mr Freeze with the batman being a distant second. Got so beat up that I didn't ride coasters again till I moved back to Florida. Never realized how good we have it here with Busch Gardens, Sea world and Universal. Not all of the Florida coasters are as amazing as Iron Gwazi and Velocicoaster but, practically any coaster from here would have a legitimate chance at being the #1 or #2 coaster at Six Flags Stl the lineup is so atrocious. They desperately need some retracking or the RMC treatment for most of the rides. Very disappointing park for how large the Stl metro area is.
Mine Blower is the worst ride in terms of pain I’ve ever ridden. If you really need the credit ride it as your last ride and make sure you have someone to drive you to your hotel or home.
To be fair even though I live 20 minutes from fun spot Kissimmee I haven’t been back to that park since the retracking.
All I see in this vid is rampant weakness. I was raised and nurtured as an enthusiast by Arrow megaloopers like Shockwave, I can survive anything without quitting.
Great American Scream Machine was like rocks in a blender.
Meanwhile me:
I rode Big Apple Coaster after the Premier trains, and...
Did it turn me away from coasters? No.
But...
It made me a coaster enthusiast😂
Yeah, I'm embarrassed to say that lol
Why pay for a chiropractor when you can just ride Matterhorn at Disneyland! Probably a great ride for kids, love the theming and Harold but for tall people and anyone over the age of 30, heck no!
El Toro is a painful disaster. The amount of enthusiasts and the whole "there's like one correct seat" thing. Those wierdly made Intamin trains. Then the park allegedly has spent lots of money to "fix it" but it's only band-aid fixes so it works but the ride experience is awful. In 2015, I would've never said this, nor in years before, and certainly not in it's first 5 years of being built. Pending the pre-fab situation, maybe by the time they want to get another coaster they can RMC it.
Would've been much better for the 50th anniversary to make a large, fun and insane but poorly kept together being restored essentially back to what it was meant to be. It's track is even similiar to what they do with retracking (RMC), so maybe they should've tried that instead of whatever nonsense they have been trying to pull off especially post-2020. Of course these morons can't even paint Nitro. But theyll fix the lights on the ferris wheel after who knows how many years (stopped counting).
P.S. I love wooden coasters, but this one just isn't going to beable to exist forever on it's current path. If it became basically a steel/hybrid then maybe instead of another filler coaster they could install a GCI in the future. Frankly a park as big as SFGADV should've had that on the to-do-list when rolling thunder was removed, and even with the pathway down to the drop tower there is plently of room over in that spot, unless the congo rapids area could be repurposed (or isn't too swampy).
Call me crazy, but I got a few rides on Son of Beast all the way back in 2001, and I actually got some good rides. Must've caught it on the 1 good weekend.
Not gonna lie, Soarin Eagle was not that bad when I road this summer
Skyrush! My thighs were bruised
How Volares still exist is beyond me
There hasn't been a single coaster I've done that I won't ride again. 😁🎢
I love you guys so much thank you for supporting me and helping me to decided to become an engineer that designed roller coasters
This is the exact thing I wanna do bro please tell me your story man
Me to I wanna hear your story!
I am doing architecture right now for the same things
Well currently i am not at that level but they have inspired it to work as hard as you can and persevere, ik that this is said a lot but seriously do the best you can and do what u wanna do man,
@@MalachiSmyth Well currently i am not at that level but they have inspired it to work as hard as you can and persevere, ik that this is said a lot but seriously do the best you can and do what u wanna do man
Thank y’all for not quitting. This is one of the best channels on the platform.
The fact that Hero is the thumbnail for this video made me laugh. Still can't believe Digital Dan and friends rode it all day for charity
Green Lantern at SFGA gave me a concussion. That's not just one head bang but it happens throughout the ride.
That ride hurts me like hell too. Good answer
That's a rough one. I agree.
Honorable Mention: Dragon at Adventureland. Now defunct of course.
My homepark…. I’m a die hard enthusiast- and painfully rode it every visit. Some of those Hopkins were brutal!!
Almost everyone agreed that Dragon was the worst of them
All right, all right all right…. Geez you guys don’t have to court me any more 😂😂… you’ve earned my subscription. You two are awesome. I enjoy your videos.
I rode The Rattler, Texas Giant and Big Apple Coaster consecutively. Each one ruined my day. 20 years later I’m back into coasters even though I’m middle aged. I saw a video about Steel Vengeance in 2018 and wanted to ride it so bad that I drove from Austin, Tx to Cedar Point in August 2018 and I’m now trying to get as many of the major credits before I’m too old. I’ve learned to just skip the rides that I know won’t be worth the roughness and not care about the quantity of my coaster credits but rather the quality.
Darien Lake is my home park and I rode Predator last week. They retracked a lot of it, including replacing the turns with steel track. Still a pretty rough ride, but not even close to how bad it used to be.
Roughest ride I've ever experienced was the original Wildcat at Hersheypark, kinda surprised it didn't make the list.
Screamin Eagle at St. Louis made me take a solid hour break. The setting and layout is so good, but that’s been the first time I’ve been afraid a coaster was gonna derail
That and the Boss were atrocious
For me it’s Maxx force at sfgam the first time I rode it I did not know their was brakes on the final drop and when I put my hands up I got folded over the lap bar and got winded and it messed up my neck
big thunder mountain at disneyland was my favorite rollercoaster for years, now its my favorite family coaster
Sarah, so sorry you were the one to read my El Toro comment! I know it hurt your soul. lol. But it hurt my back! Besides, I can’t wait to ride it again in the most optimal seat. I know I have to be in the right seat on X2 or else it’s painful, but I still love it. Same will be true for El Toro when I return.
Saw The Ride at thorpe park is one of them coasters that is so rough needs to be sorted out its such a good layout but it being so rough makes it a bad coaster
I said this but not because of the roughness
You wanna Read this one- So my home park is SFGA and we were going to Wistonsing dells and we always go to Noahs ark but I really wanted to get my credits on HADES 360. so we go in, go to the waterpark first, ride medusas slide wheel, ride some other slides then I go to ride this ride(Mind you I was and still am a rce to my core, also I was 13 now 14.) So as riding the pre-lift was all that I had to know about this ride, anyway right after the drop the second you go underground, I grayed out( literally never happens) then, basically,
The train was shaking like a malfunctioning massage chair
My chest and me were vibrating so hard I wasn't able to breath
it really felt like if someone put you in that malfunctioning massage chair then took one of those things you use to carve out sculptures out of rock, and pound that against your chest. after the first tunnel, we go out into the inversion and airtime hill, and back into it. at this point I don't think I have felt that much pain in my short life and I wouldn't do it even if someone were to kill my cat or give me Vaults of money.
after the ride, I anent able to breath properly for 10 minutes, I was stumbling down the stairs while holding my tears and holding my chest, we still had hours at the park and I was still horrible exiting the park(obviously I didn't show/tell my parents, they would tell me to stop riding rollercoasters and I would rather idk do scuiside. btw I also has slightly blurry vision getting out of station.
idk I'm fine now also in line for RTH!!
I remember riding Ghost Rider at Knotts about 4 or 5 years ago now; a little while after it was re-tracked, after that, the next day my back was in terrible pain and it lasted for 5 days, could barely get up. Great ride, will ride again.
NYNY Las Vegas. The original Manhattan Express, TOGO's finest nightmare 😬😱😅
Yeah, Son of Beast, the jack hammering was so bad i was trying to stand up. My wife and I had a migraine when we got off
Another coaster RUclipsr called digital Dan rode hero at flamingo land all day, I think he rode it like 70 times
Fun fact a volare was my first ever rollercoaster when was 8 or 7 I forget and yes it was the eagle one at Coney Island
It’s weird when a roller coaster is smooth in the back and rough in the front
Rode Coney Island Cyclone first and only time in 2014. Came off of it with a big bleeding gash in my shin because there was a sharp metal edge on the rim of the car. Didn't even notice it until after I came off of it, so it didn't really give me a bad experience, but it's the only roller coaster that has drawn blood from me. (The cut healed up with no problems.)
I think I slammed into that same edge. I rode it 7x on my day there, but my leg slammed into something hard, and it hurt so much. It didn't happen on my first few rides.
Roller coasters may hurt, but I will never quit
I used to think that HRRR wasn’t that bad but my last visit to UO completely changed my mind. Idk if it was the specific seat I was in but the restraint tightened so much that it actually bruised my midsection.
Also, La Vibora is a steaming pile of dog poop, first time riding it messed my neck up lol
There isn’t any ride that made me quit but…
If I were to pick one, it would be Time Warp at Canada’s Wonderland.
You just had to bring up Nopuko Air Coaster lol. That was my first ever time on an SLC last summer and I can confirm that first inversion in the front row was the worst element I've ever experienced. I hit my neck on the restraint and spent the rest of the ride just shouting "BAD IDEA!!! BAD IDEA!! SUCH A BAD IDEA!!!"
My first SLC experience was on T3, I feel this
The worst roller coaster I've ever ridden was T3 at Kentucky Kingdom, it was a literal headache, and when the restraints were crushing my thighs more than Skyrush, goodbye and good riddance to that one.
Go ride it 22 times in a row. Lol. I marathoned it like a moron one day. Best experience Ive ever had on a ride!
SFGA needs to do better with maintaining el toro and their other coasters. Hopefully now with the merger cedar point emphasizes coaster maintenance every off season or at least much more frequently.
I’ve had very good back row rides but last year yikes I was so disappointed
For me it was Wildcat at Lake Compounce.
It was my first big coaster and it was so bad. I was scared off of roller coasters until my late teens cuz I thought they all hurt like that.
It took not looking like a wimp in front of a girl I liked to get on Superman at SFNE years later to get into coasters.
I have not been on Wildcat since...until next year since it's getting the Gravity Group treatment now. I live about 10 minutes from LC and the fact I havent ridden that thing in like 20
years says alot.
Other things...broke a rib on Backlot Stunt Coaster at KD in 2022. Thanks Premier restraints!
Mineblower...yeah the video says it all.
Grizzly...also at KD before it got GG'd...,thank god I rode this before I broke my rib later in the day
Interesting, comparing to my story. On my first New England coaster trip, Wildcat at Lake Compounce was so terrible for me too, on an extremely crowded weekday at the park with horrible lines. I left the park early because I was done, but then I decided to stop at a very empty Six Flags New England before they close and ride Superman. That restored my faith in roller coasters and parks, just a couple hours after losing it.
My wife rode Hollywood Rip Ride and rocket when we were on a church trip to Orlando in 2022 and has not expressed any interest in being on another roller coaster since. She has a health situation that contributes to that as well, but it's definitely the kind of coaster that can retire somebody from being a roller coaster fan
I would say Hurricane at Fun Spot got me to check out, but I rode it twice to get front and back row experiences, and returned for Mineblower later in the day after they had completed smoothing a transition, testing the train, and after a storm went through. Which is another coaster that should make the list, but I also rode it twice to see how different rows felt and got off thinking “just retrack all of it” both times. This was last year
That being said my experience with both Mineblower and RRR in 2017 had the restraints too tight, which absolutely sucks for that style of restraint. For me it was more “off-center in the seat.” And Mineblower crushed my waist that time (also had a tight belt on and was constipated on that trip so that was an awful experience). Keep those restraints comfortable or a little loose if possible is my advice.
For Rockit though… after my rides this year, it makes a big difference whether you get a rear seat in a car or not. It’s fine in rows 1,2,4, and 5, but not in 3 or 6. Honestly it’s rerideable in the good seats.
As much as I love skyrush it definitely gave me the most painful moment on any ride. I’m a pretty tall lanky guy so roller coasters throw me around easily, at the bottom of the drop I had my hands up and since there is basically no lateral support, my whole body got thrown to the side and at that speed I couldn’t get myself back in position until the top of the first airtime hill. Basically I thought I broke my back for a second but ended up being fine, it hurt for a few weeks though. Still in my top 10 lol
That's the exact reason why I never have my hands up on Skyrush. I felt a strain in the back on my first ride with my hands up. Hands have stayed down since, and I love it.
"For those of you who are unfamiliar" Was expecting the block zone line to be honest.
I've never really had this because once I'm at a park, I'm locked in and not slowing down. Closest thing i have to needing to stop was after riding Colossus at Thorpe Park on back row. It was just so rough, I've never had my head bashed so hard against the restraints, i had to take a break for a solid 20 (and 2 pints of beer) to get that pain to stop lol.
I then went on SAW - The Ride 4 times, because it is not that rough, idk what people are on lmao, compared to Colossus, this thing is smooooooth.
Cedar Creek Mine Ride at Cedar Point almost did that for me. It ran way rougher than a roller coaster has any right to, and I almost quit after that ride in 2016
Honestly, a recent example for me was Shivering Timbers in July 2023. It was beyond brutal! Even rougher than Boss, but Boss has no airtime to redeem it. Shivering Timbers does, and if you ride in row 1 or row 11, it's tolerable. Every other row is terrible.
Another recent example was the new Wild Mouse at Cedar Point. The awkward seating and horrible torso restraints threw my back out. I thought I was going to need back surgery, but I recovered fine. Pipeline at SeaWorld also gave quite a smashing on the nuts downstairs, and I thought I needed to quit for the day. But I figured out a way to ride it without getting nut-crushing, but it's not easy.
Past year's examples are Boss & Mine Blower. Will never ride them again, until they truly get fixed. I hear Mine Blower is still terrible, as they only retracked the first drop. Further back examples are Texas Giant and Rattler.
On Kingda Ka, my friend threw out his back first time he went on. I didn't believe him and thought he was just being a crybaby. Nope. Went back almost a year later and same damn thing happened to me. Either my back cracked during the launch, or more likely, my neck was too far forward during the ascent so I had like 5 G's pulling my head down away from my back. Excruciating back pain for about 3+ days following the ride. Stretch a little before any of these, and keep your damn head back! Never made me want to quit, but boy did it remind me to keep my head in proper position...
Actually, a few days ago at Fun Spot Orlando, White Lightning was super fun, but I was putting my elbow next to me on what I thought was soft, but it was hitting the hard plastic "liner" between the outside of the car and the inside of the cushion. Either keep your hands up, or tuck your elbow in. Took me 'till the second ride to realize the issue, but still went on 6 more times and out of habit still hit my elbow a bunch more times. Minor issue compared to Kingda Ka though.
I need to get back on Mineblower. Having ridden Velocicoaster I still thought Mineblower was my favorite ride in Florida (only missing Iron Gwazi which would probably be better).
So I haven't ridden a roller coaster since 2013, but I've never really had an experience that made want to "quit" roller coasters. I guess the closest would've been Son of Beast back in the day. I managed two rides when my Dad and I visited King's Island in 2002, and I somehow convinced the old man to ride with me in the back. That ride beat the piss out of us and I think he seriously wanted to murder me afterwards. I've also got at least one Vekoma SLC to my credit and I would be very pleased to not ride any of them more than once; just get the credit and move on. That said, if I had been able to ride Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens before it was closed (they shut it down right as I became tall enough to ride it), that one probably would've done it, given its reputation.
When Raptor first opened at Cedar Point I made 2 mistakes riding it. first mistake was I had a hangover. you should never ride things hung over. second mistake was I didn't know I had to protect my head from the restraints. my other bad experience was Dominator when it was at Geauga Lake. it had a station wait that day so my date and I decided to get right back on. big mistake. they call it Dominator for a reason. I ended up with really bad motion sickness and almost hurled on my date
Raptor is a major headbanger, unless you are an experienced coaster rider who knows how to avoid it. Even then, I still get some headbanging.
@@OklahomaCoasterFan yeah I learned the hard way
OMG! The Texas Giant. You almost felt like suing.
Yay Patreon! I absolutely love the Patreon family. Such amazing people, content, and connections. 🧡🧡🧡
The now defunct "GREAT AMERICAN SCREAM MACHINE" at Six Flag's Great Adventure in NJ, takes the cake. With the also defunct "Bat Man The Chiller" coming in second. I've been on many coasters, but these were absolutely brutal with those God awful shoulder restraints. Instant migraine upon disembarking, with aches & pains all throughout your body the following morning. The Coney Island CYCLONE's back row would also be a killer too, if it weren't for that fabulous airtime buffet it gives you and those very well padded couch like seats. Thanks for the post!
This is a weird one and not technically a roller coaster, but Round-Up rides, they get to me in a way that not many rides get to. I've been on crazier coasters and flats than those, but they just mess me up. The Scat ride at Bay Beach is another one.
Felt the headaches, I get them a lot and sometimes coasters will do it, although usually not bad my worse experience with getting a major headache after a coaster was wildcat to the point I rode wildcat one time and then just waited for RMC to do their magic years later before trying again 😂
Grizzly at kings Dominion. First time on a wooden coaster at like 11 and I was like why does it feel like it was breaking all the air time I hated it... Now All grown me is like spectacular give me 15 more of em
For me it was Python at efteling before the retrack in 2016. I was 11 or 12 but as a kid I had a weak back. The first loop instandly hurt my back so much that i was done for the day and the one after. It was a 3 day trip, thank god i did Baron before that because that was my first ride on that, i would have hated to skip that one. Since then i've been kind of scared of python and first rode it again in 2022, the retrack is really good but still don't love python because of the bad memories, plus i mean the layout is nothing special. I haven't been on condor yet but i will visit walibi Holland soon. I'm a bit scared of condor, speed of sound and xpress platform 13, but especially condor. I'm not sure yet if i'll ride that when i visit lol
