“It doesn’t even make it onto my top 200 and I don’t have 200 coasters.”
She came right for that jugular 💀
Murder with words
Dang Anaconda, me, personally, I would never take that level of disrespect
Those are my thoughts about Big Apple Coaster(2013?) and Ghostrider (2015)
I’m old enough to have rode Flashback and I absolutely agree with it being the top pick. Absolutely most brutal coaster I’ve ever had the misfortune to experience. I remember riding it with friends in high school and we all just laughing and simultaneously screaming in pain the entire time.
Flashback was amazing! So many laterals and violent jerking around... I'm not a fan of all the hate on the classic coaster
No, no, no. Then it went to get me the f...off this piece of shit.That's all I could say during that terrible ride..the only one worse was Green Lantern...
I loved it when I was a kid and it was called Z Force at Six Flags Over Georgia.
@@mihara4730 I like it when it hurts
@@mihara4730incorrect, it was just roughness and laterals are fun when done correctly
The og steel phantom was next level rough. Everyone talks about the inversions which were the most painful inversions I have ever been on but they were smooth in comparison to the boomerang turn at the bottom of the 2nd hill. They reprofiled that for phantom's revenge, but it was basically a horrible arrow transition at close to 90 mph(they clocked it regularly on hot days hitting 90...) With classic arrow over the shoulder harnesses.
I'm thankful every time I go to Kennywood that Pittsburghers hate change so we got phantom's revenge instead of a new ground up coaster 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I always think about how horrible Phantom's Revenge would be at that speed if it was rough. Well..I guess it used to be so
@@AirtimeThrills they made you take your earrings out before riding because it also had over the shoulder restraints
You probably know what I'm going to say: BGW's Drachen Fire is the headbangingest coaster I've ever ridden. It was a genuinely great layout that could have been a world-class coaster in the hands of someone equipped to execute it properly. But it was a ride of pain to the extent that it didn't last long.
Yeah Drachen Fire was when Arrow lost their way.
@@Jason_Maier I’ll actually give Arrow a pass for that one. It was originally supposed to be designed by B&M but they were too busy with Kumba to take on the project. BGW turned to Arrow instead who tried to give the park what they originally wanted with their take on a B&M style coaster. Obviously they failed but they failed with good intentions.
rose that thing once in my prime riding years, even in great shape and young, one ride on drachen fire was enough.
I rode this as a 10 year old in 98 (or 97?) It was so bad it gave us all headaches. The line was very short.
(The second jankiest is probably the recently deceased Canobie Corkscrew. But that was nowhere near as bad as Drachen Fire.)
I’ve ridden a lot of rough B&Ms but the only one that was ruined by the roughness was probably Rougorou at CP. It was honestly the worst experience I’ve ever had on a roller coaster.
Also the way that guy yelled “T3 SUCKS” when he was riding cracked me up 😆💀
Magnum has a long series of hills that are literally triangles, and all of these coasters managed to beat it. That level of engineering is actually impressive in a way.
I’m a native of Kentucky and totally agree with the #2 T3! Although my last ride ever on it wasn’t so bad in the front row until we hit the brakes and I realized that I couldn’t feel my legs due to the restraint crushing my thighs! I also got snapped up that weird loop thing and jerked my neck! Rest in pieces T3!
The pre-brakes part of Anaconda should be part of the layout of whatever replaces it. I've legitimately grayed out on that sidewinder. The stuff after the brake run, I've always suspected, was designed to need as little maintenance as possible because of how it's over the lake, and they probably have been skimping on keeping that part well maintained in recent years.
Smart! Anaconda has the potential to be a 5 or even 6 looper. I’m thinking maybe a pretty steep straight drop into a bat-wing before the corkscrews. Also, they need to turn off the mid course so it would go faster through the layout.
Anaconda was supposed to close in 2019 and be replaced but they had to close Volcano instead because of the structural issues.
Oh yeah this year I really appreciated the first half and the intensity
Corkscrews at the end are fun too, just those turns after the mid course are rough
Even as a self certified arrow lover, I must say those turns are lame
The Steel Phantom was pretty rough, especially before the remodel. Going 80 ish mph straight into inversions with the arrow transitions, that is where the defensive riding comes into play lol
It's crazy how it went from that rough to insanely smooth
I used to know a guy that broke his jaw on it back in the day
11:35 massive shoutout to that guy who yelled “t3 sucks!!!”
You did a few lists a while back where you talked about coasters each park needs, like a launch coaster, a looping coaster, a woody etc. Using that as a starting point, how about do a list of if you were designing the perfect coaster park, which coasters would you have in it for each of your choices and why.
I've ridden vortex and even with it's roughness i still loved the coaster and it will forever live as a good memory in my mind. Sad that I won't ever see it again.
Flight of Fear @ King's Island was the roughest steel coaster I've ridden. Felt like I was going to snap my neck and break my bones every time it went into a transition, which was basically the entire time.
Yeah… it’s between that and the racers for roughest at the park now that vortex is gone and the beast was redone. (My home park)
And just think, it was even worse with OTSRs.
When it first opened, it seemed fine. But, when I rode it a few years later, it felt like I went 10 rounds with Mike Tyson. Never rode it since.
I rode Flight of Fear for the first time this year, and I didn't find it that rough at all really. I did sit in in the front though mostly.
The roughest ride I rode at kings island was invertigo because on my little kid body it just destroyed it
Vortex was one of the first "big" coasters I ever rode, but I have to agree, towards the end it was rough. I would come away with massive bruises on my shoulders from the restraints the last few times I rode it.
This a video I’ve been waiting a while for. Props to you for coming up with such good video ideas.As someone who was a content creator it is hard to come up with a video idea and you just hit it out of the park with these your videos every time
Thanks, I'm always worried about that but I haven't run out of ideas yet
Sheikra actually kinda shocked me. I can't imagine that thing being rough. It's legit one of the smoothest coasters I've ever been on.
It’s shaky and not as smooth as Griffon, but it’s not terrible.
I could fall asleep on that ride, never once had an issue with it.
@@bimblebobble4438 both are smooth as glass for me they are tied with mako for smoothest coasters ive ever ridden and ive ridden shiekra like 10 times in the past 3 years
@@bimblebobble4438 I didn't even notice any shakyness.
It depends on where you seat. It’s either one of the smoothest rides in the park, or almost as bad as kumba in some areas 😂
I got to say bro, your videos just keep getting better and better. For me, I would definitely say Ninja gives me nightmares, also i'm glad Viper at Magic Mountain isn't on this list because that one surprised me, I loved it.
This list is really accurate. Thanks for the awesome vid!
Funnily enough I was just watching your roughest wooden coasters video, and then this comes out. Perfect timing.
Nice video as always, just as entertaining as the rest of your videos!
Love watching your videos Chris!
Been waiting for this one!
Not in America, but Rolling X Train in Everland in S.Korea (the same park as T express).
It’s an old Arrow model, build by Vekoma in ‘88 and … I can’t remember a ride where I got off with more hatred for an experience.

Double corkscrew

Finish.
Talking about arrow so much has me curious about the history of rollercoaster manufacturers. Great video!
Every single time I see a video titled something like, “Roughest Steel Roller Coasters” I *have* to click on it because I know that without fail, Anaconda at Kings Dominion will make the list every single time and honestly I get such a joy out of that. Hands down the WORST, roughest, and most painful coaster I’ve ever been on!! Glad it makes the list every time.
Loving the new intro!
Corkscrew at Cedar Point would probably be on my list, but it was one of a couple coasters I didn't get to ride there (it wasn't open at all)
I worked at CDR (Mrs. Knott's Chicken Dinner Restaurant in 1999 and took advantage of my I.D. numerous times to ride Ghostrider and even Headslammer a few times. I would've thought Matterhorn at Disneyland would've made at least an honorable mention. Great list Chris.
I haven't ridden Matterhorn in about 4 years, I dont remember it being that rough, maybe a little jerky
@@AirtimeThrills There's this one really bad spot on the tomorrowland side that feels like a car crash
Great video! Every time I get off of Banshee, I have a headache. The coaster is an awesome invert with a great layout, crazy pacing, and some good forces. Put it tracks oddly. Goes to show that even steel coasters can get rattles or vibrations.
Yeah I never had a problem with Banshee but seems like you feel the shakiness at some points
Came down to train for me. Teal was the worst, purple was hit and miss, blue ran the best. Feel like all the B&Ms at Kings Island have some sort of rattle though outside Orion
@@andrewwarthen5209 yeah I agree blue tracks the best. Still I slight shuffle, but not too bad.
I had that exact same Deja Vu shirt. Love they way you rocked it at its relocation; with a pose and zoom to boot.
Sophie roasting Anaconda gave me a real good chuckle
Awesome video!
11:33 "I think it's time for T3 to hit the road." That aged well.
NightHawk at Carowinds punched me in the back of my head so hard it made me dizzy. X2 last month was as rough as I can ever remember it being, and it's never been super smooth. RailBlazer red train had some extra rattle last month too. Great vid, I'd forgotten how rough Desperado was, ugh. I agree with you on so many of these, especially WindJammer, how did they fit all that failure into such a small footprint.
Shockwave as Kings Dominion. That stand-up coaster was okay until the last part where it thrashed you back and forth. Painfully!
Vekoma hang and bangs(Kiddy Hawk and Flying Ace Arial Chase) both tracked really rough for me. Thankfully the restraints on the one at Kings Island were further apart so that at least eliminated head banging.
Yeah the transitions make you slam your head into the restraints. I last rode Bat at Lagoon (in the front mind you) and every turn was pain
Orient Express was murder in 2003. Thunderation was pretty rough the last time I rode it. Ninja has the worst transitions in the state of Missouri.
5:06 gotta love how his head is symmetrical with the loop
I was surprised how much I enjoyed t3. I went in expecting one of the world's roughest coasters, but I found it to be a little janky at worst. SLCs have a good layout too and they're pretty intense.
Strangely, the roughest steel coaster I've been on is Fahrenheit. I may have just rode it on a bad day, but that ride's rattle was brutal lol
Yikes...I dont recall a rattle at all on Fahrenheit
Kings Island better plan ahead on the Vortex plot for a new coaster. I have always heard that the Vortex foundations were sinking. Petty much the whole park has that problem. The early years of Vortex were a pretty smooth ride. Then a 10 or so year gap for me riding, it was really rough. Still miss this picturesque coaster.
Video idea: Top picturesque coasters. Layout, setting, lighting, theming....
I think originally that area was filled with water for the canoe ride years ago back when they did the Brady bunch episode. Sounds about the right area for it and the conditions you mentioned make me think that was where the water was originally back there.
The Beast had a pond under the station (I wish they would bring it back). They drained it to put in Vortex. You may be right about that low spot that Vortex had could have been the canoe pond. I don't remember how far the pond under Beast went back in the day.
I really appreciate the pre-list stuff like honorable mentions or "one bad ride." It's completely unnecessary from a youtube perspective and probably doesn't draw any more viewers, so it's basically just extra work you're putting in for the fans' gain. Like you said, man of the people.
I like to go thru my credit list and pick out coasters that COULD make the list, then filter it down to the top 15 or 20 or whatever makes sense, but those honorable mentions at least show that I considered something that didn't make the final cut. It definitely saves some of the "hey, what about..." questions
I gotta agree with the Kumba mention
I rode Kumba earlier in September and after about 3 rides I had a headache for the rest of that day but other than that Kumba is a really great ride.
I think a lot of people get headaches from sustained positive gs as that can do it for me. I have gotten used to it a bit more but notice it on rerides just because it is so intense start to finish. I305 can do the same to me
@@andrewwarthen5209 Yes. Kumba’s so intense with her gs that she can give one a headache, but weirdly the good type of headache. One that’s over in five minutes, and then you might just tackle her again. But three rides can and WILL do you in for the day. I can agree with that.
I actually rode Goudurix and tbh, I was expecting the worst, but surprisingly it ran pretty good! I only got like 1 or 2 rough spots but the rest was all good
The Ninja in St. Louis. Also the Manhattan express in Vegas. Ouch
That comment about T3 as the train rode by is HILARIOUS!
You just made me happy I never got on rainier rush - I feel like the one time I was going to get on, it was a busy period, mandated two riders and wouldn't match you. I wasn't in the mood finding a stranger to ride with me, and passed to go on classic coaster again.
They definitely did you a favor there
Haven’t rode this one as it was torn down before I was able to ride it, but my friend said it was so rough he couldn’t see the track because he was shaking so much. The track was rusty for a decade before it’s closure, and you could tell halfway across the park. The ride was dragon at Adventureland, Iowa.
I just missed Dragon, too bad
some that I have experienced: Defiance: Has a really bad rattle, Green Lantern (the standup): Very shaky, Steamin Demon: more like a steamin pile of sh-
I agree with my 2022 ride on Kumba. I was so confused lol. Literally said, "but why?" Lolol
Back row of Desperado is such a wild and fun ride!
the intro is fire
Steamin Demon at Six Flags Great Escape. That's the first ride I thought of when I saw the video description. As a kid it looked so majestic from the highway. I didn't get to ride it until I was an adult. Wow...what a disappointment. Really rough, but at least it was very short.
I saw the title and immediately knew that Flashback had to be top of the list. It was so bad it was almost fun. The one I'm surprised wasn't even a dishonorable mention is West Coaster on the Santa Monica Pier. I've gotten rides on both Desperado and the Big Apple coaster and neither came anywhere near to how bad I got rattled by WC. Maybe I just got lucky rides on the casino coasters or really unlucky whenever I've ridden WC.
A list of what not to ride. Thanks XD
Viper TOGO at Six Flags Great Adventure was rough. I remember doing the circle of doom at Great Adventure back in the day… Viper, Scream Machine and Rolling Thunder you needed a back adjustment after that for sure.
Oh man viper was probably the worst coaster I've ever ridden with how rough it was. Scream machine wasn't too bad and rolling thunder I loved as a kid.
Sucks I missed Viper and had to ride its stupid wooden replacement
@@AirtimeThrills HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOYT EL TORO LIKE THAT
“It doesn’t make my top 200 and I don’t even have 200 coasters”
Sophie with the sick burns🔥
You mentioned that sometimes you just get one rough ride. That was our experience with Magnum XL 200 this summer. It was so rough we only did one ride. It didn't rattle it it bounced on the tracks likes a poorly maintained wooden roller coaster, only it was going 70 MPH. The "airtime" hills at the end made every male on our train vocally grunt as we went over them and got racked. Our entire party agreed it was the worst experience of our trip. I know a lot of people love it, but our experience was rough.
I rode anaconda for the first time in 2023 and I have to say that I really liked it. I got 2 night rides and it ended up being one of my favorite coasters at Kings Dominion. Didn’t really find it rough
Kentucky Kingdom is my home park. I remember T3 being closed almost every visit as a kid. My husband loves inversions but will not go anywhere near T3. I remember Vortex left bruises on him when he rode and he was so dizzy we had to leave.
I’m with you on Desperado and Flashback.
For me it’s the old Hopkins looper at Adventureland. That thing was so rough
I got super confused when I missed the “one off” intro and saw a bunch of B&Ms. The real list had just as many arrows as I expected, no disrespect 😂
I would love to see a top 15 most intense coasters next!
Your wish has been granted: ruclips.net/video/ZMasxPKxG3o/видео.html
Some of my roughest uk steel coasters; Colossus @ Thorpe Park. An Intamin 10 inversion coaster that is a good ride but has really bad trains and crushing otsr's. Infusion @ Blackpool Pleasure Beach, a relocated SLC that ran slightly smoother when it was Traumatizer at Southport Pleasureland. The Pepsi Loop @ Rhyl's Ocean Beach amusement park. A brutal Pinfari ZL42 that gave me a headache that made me ill.
11:35 Wise Word's Rider 😌
He Made Sure To Tell Others That T3 Is A Deathtrap. Bless This Guy ✨
Pretty sure that was actually Kentucky Kingdom's social media guy
New airtime thrills video lets Gooooooo!
Love your blog
From the title alone I expected that this would be a Greatest Hits Arrow compilation.
Sophie (Sp?) was a trooper and i loved her takes on these coasters! feature more of her!
Rougaru-2019. The second half is nothing but headbanging. My brother and I could not find a comfortable spot on the train that headbanging didn't happen.
As someone with Dorney as my home park, you're right about Hydra, it wasn't a one-time thing. I do not understand it. It's the only coaster I've ever been on that's rougher in the front than in the back.
Most of them I have ridden were pretty smooth!
roughest coaster i ever been on was Ninja at SFSL. My god that coaster needs to go. Also going on a huge coaster texas trip next year to ride every coaster there.
I was a little surprised to not see the bat at lagoon get at least an honorable mention!
Yeah, those hang and bangs could have gotten a mention, I did toss in a clip of Flying Ace at the beginning though
The same way you can get a 1-off rough ride, it can be the other way around too. I rode green lantern at great adventure once and it felt like the smoothest b&m ever, but usually it is rough as all hell
Lol. I didn’t ride roller coasters as an early teen so I missed out a lot. But Windjammer was my first time on a vertical loop coaster and I became addicted. I went on the ride at least a dozen times in one day. Maybe because I was a teenager I didn’t mind.
I’m not a coaster enthusiast in the sense of making my way to American amusement parks (I’m Canadian), but I’ve been to my fair share in the PNW, California, and Florida. The worse, rockiest, migraine-inducing ride, to me, will always be Universals Rip Ride Rockit. Bashing my head from plastic to plastic even when it’s going straight, I’ve been on it twice in two different years and I’ll never go back.
Riddler’s Revenge (formerly Mind Eraser) at SFNE used to be a real headbanger. A headache was a guarantee. I’ve not ridden it since then but it got new restraints that make it rideable.
Shockwave and Mantis gave me the most pain I've ever suffered on a ride. Stand-up coasters are downright evil and just suck outright. The Bat and Magnum XL-200 suffer from very uncomfortable trains, hopefully they get addressed soon.
I always thought Vortex was smooth the three times I rode it.
Good list. I’ve ridden Flashback and Windjammers. Both terrible. I was able to do Desperado before it got too bad.
A couple of other “winners” would be Jet Star 2 at Lagoon and the coaster on top of Glenwood Springs Caverns (not the new one). Really painful.
I last rode Jet Star 2 at Lagoon in 2019 and I dont think it was that rough but holy positive G's Batman...
What cracks me up, I MARATHONED Flashback, and had no issues.
Hydra was running decently smooth at the start of this season, but the rattle got worse as the season progressed. I got a front row night ride last night during Haunt and it was pretty smooth though
Rainier Rush did find a new home on the french fair circuit if I'm not mistaken. At least, a Top Fun coaster of that type showed up there after Rainier was removed.
You should do a video on your top 15 most surprising coasters. (Coasters where you weren’t sure what to expect, but they were pleasant surprises)
I considered this but it's very similar to my most underrated coasters list: ruclips.net/video/bQDtKvAebCo/видео.html
for me, Boomerang and Ednor in front at La Ronde are usual suspects for roughness, but the big surprise was Flight of Fear at King's Island. Fun coaster, but oh my god did it shake me around, I was not expecting that!
and if you think I'm just nitpicking and being petty, just remember: I enjoy riding Vekoma SLCs and Monstre at La Ronde is the single coaster I've ridden the most often ever AND I CAN ENJOY IT. I know what roughness is, and Flight of Fear is shockingly rough, like a back row ride on Ednor is smoother than a back row ride on Flight of Fear
I’ve not been on many coasters (30 to be exact) and luckily, not one of them was rough (by that, I meant I disliked the ride.)
the 2 rides I would probably say are rough are scorpion at Busch gardens as it was prity shaky, but I still enjoyed it. I’ve also been on one SLC (mind eraser at elitch gardens) and I actually enjoyed it (the bulky restraints were padded and wasn’t shaky) I went on it twice and is my 6th favorite coaster, I still prefer montu, but It did not suck.
Shockwave at KD. That thing was torture. The worst was also when it broke down on the chain lift and we were stuck there for 30 minutes in the sun. It was 100 degrees that day. So glad that it got replaced with a Discovery. So much more fun
I rode the Big Apple Coaster in July of this year and I remember getting off the ride and immediately thinking, RUclips was wrong, that wasn’t rough at all! Multiple channels have said it’s bad. And, it was actually fun, but I know the ride has changed a lot over the years. It’s just inconvenient as hell to get the credit…
Honorable Mentions for Matterhorn at Disneyland and Space Mountain at Walt Disney World. I wish that Space Mountain at WDW would get retracked like it's counterpart at DL.
My worst was Scream Machine at Great Adventure the year it was closing (2010). My best friend and I marathoned it before the park closed. What a beating that was but we were younger then. And the Runaway Train cars there are not only small and difficult to fit into, but that combined with it's bucking bronco jerks and lurches makes for a pretty rough ride indeed. More recently my best friend and I got slight concussions on Rougarou at Cedar Point this past September from the head banging, and that pretty much ruined the following 2 days we spent at the park. We were with our mutual enthusiast friend visiting from Brazil who always insists on front rows. We also took a "thorough" ass kick on Magnum XL200 (again, front row thanks to you know who). The jackhammering especially through that last tunnel was BRUTAL. But we got our revenge when we took our Brazilian friend on Steel Vengeance and he was so rattled that when he got off he ran to the nearest grassy area and tossed his cookies. 💥💥💥😎😎😎 To this day I laugh with glee at the very thought of it. But don't worry. We all plan to do it again in 2023. 👍👍👍
Interesting about Rougarou and Magnum, I haven't had problems with those lately
Was half expecting to just hear Lamb of God on repeat this entire video. ElToroRyan really has changed my life.
Arrow and Togo, masters of the bad transitions
Some that come to mind for me:
- Klondike Gold Rusher (Wild Waves): Zamperla Wild Mouse with really cramped cars and just a really rough ride. Was SBNO for several years but seems to be operating again.
- Matterhorn Bobsleds (Disneyland): Even after being fully retracked a few years ago this one is still pretty rough. I'm pretty sure it's always been rough, and always will be.
- Jet Star 2 (Lagoon): It's been a while since I've been on this one, but recall it was pretty bumpy last time I was on it.
I rode Jet Star 2 a couple of months ago and it wasn’t bumpy but dang does that thing whip you through turns, it was crazy
I don't have many credits so I gotta say the roughest ride I've been on is the Steamin Demon at Six Flags Great Escape. That ride is really rough and has given me a headache on multiple occasions
The ‘T3 sucks’ clip actually made me laugh audibly.
My home park has some rough coasters but nothing can compare to the horrendous ride I got on Gemini in 2022, that is actually the roughest piece of trash and I’ve ridden rides like hades 360 and loved it but Gemini is one of the only coasters I can’t stand for roughness.
Ninja (which is now Blue Hawk) at SFOG was absolutely horrific. Had to leave the park and go back home as a kid after riding it cause I had such a bad headache.
Emperor for me, surprisingly. It was a half empty train in the back row, but it was BAD and a complete 180 from the first ride in the front.
I wish Flashback was open when I went to SFMM in the early 2000’s but then again maybe not 😂
I remember riding Vortex (King's Island) a few times and I disliked it for its roughness. It was before I knew much about roller coasters, and I remember feeling happy when they announced its removal... I very much regret that now
