Morals of the story. Don't let RCCA or Togo build your coaster, make the transitions smooth, don't use shoulder restraints, riders are better off sitting down, don't make the coaster car a cage, and strangest of all don't make a Green Lantern roller coaster since two of the three that exist are on this list.

As a Wisconsin native and friend of the Merricks (owners of Little Amerricka) it was absolutely SURREAL to see the Swiss Toboggan featured here. This amusement park is chock full of bizarre retro rides you won't find anywhere else these days. I remember loving to ride this multiple times in a day as a kid but now as an adult I wouldn't touch it. Awful, claustrophobic design and the cart always feels like it's going to fly off the tracks on those end bumps.
YES! I keep seeing coaster enthusiasts talking about how rare of a “credit” that ride is and I was confused since I rode it at like 10 at Little Amerricka. It was so tiny and cramped, but it was a fun little ride!
Same! Glad to see Little Amerika featured! I'm thinking that rude was designed only for younger children, not adults? Also, Mad Mouse deserves a mention!
Whenever someone asks what the world's worst coaster is, I simply ask, "Did it send 27 people to the hospital for possible back & neck injuries? No? Then it's not worse than Son of Beast."
But that was a ride accident. Shockwave at Six Flags Great America sent way more people to the hospital during normal operation. I'm surprised it's not on this list, but I don't know many people that have ridden it.
I don't see many people mention it, but thank you so much for putting in the effort to provide accurate captions. I appreciate it! Even though I'm not hearing impaired, I always have subtitles on, because I process better when I see the words. The auto-generated subtitles on other channels are maybe better than nothing, but are often so wrong they're useless. Thank you again for putting in that extra effort 😊
I'm an enthusiast who loves Arrow Dynamics. They are one of my favorite coaster manufacturers and I'm used to every "Worst Coaster" list being FULL of Arrow rides. This is the first list I have ever seen that didn't go in that direction. Only Ninja popped up, which makes me believe that more enthusiasts are beginning to appreciate (or at least forgive) the unique fun that can be had on some classic old steel coasters. This is a rare list where I understood and agreed with most of the choices.
A coaster enthusiast who's favorite manufacturer is arrow!? Now I've seen everything. Jk 😂 I like most of their coasters Tennessee tornado is one of my favorite by them. I get a gray out every time!
@@Chillguy99 The slow paced ones are really good, I'm a big fan of Anaconda and Loch Ness. The fast paced ones jerk you around a little bit, but even those aren't unbearable. Arrow got in trouble when they pushed the limits of their design like with Steel Phantom and Drachen Fire.
17:22 I was literally imagining TPC’s voice sprouting brainrot . I was laughing my butt off when he said that (not in a good way) I still love you TPC.
@@OgreJoe i watch alot of TPC so i can make him say anything in my mind so i thinking about how funny it would be if he just said brainrot and he said “not very sigma” (tbh it was kinda corny the joke i made)
I just want to thank you for doing the "stand" bit and NOT doing the thing all RUclipsrs do when they do corny word play and acting like you are sorry for it. They are never sorry, and they shouldn't be. Corny wordplay is just fine tyvm.
Toboggan doesn't even look like a real Roller Coaster, it looks like some kind of weird Bond villain trap. I can almost picture Roger Moore or Pierce Brosnan having to escape this thing before it explodes or something. Also, I don't understand why Six Flags got a Rotating Coaster if they didn't want it to rotate a lot.
@@MichaelRei99 I rode these things many times as a kid. Was also my first roller coaster. Found one at a carnival/fair in Michigan annually when I used to live there.
The problem was they would not distribute the weight equally on the trains, so 1 side would rotate constantly and the other not at all. So the braineacts at six flags thought that by putting the side panels up this would help. It did not. People would come into the station still upside down. Men found it especially horrible, as it would crush their nutsack like a squirrel with a acorn
I'm honestly shocked at how Indiana Beach has screwed up All American Triple Loop so badly. Hopefully they can fix it in the coming offseason and maybe even try and give it new and improved trains, but for this coaster to be a total flop after having so much excitement surround it (and also being delayed) would be a disaster for the park.

Exactly. IB somehow managed to make a Schwarzkopf rough. Even Revolution during the OTSR days was not considered rough, just merely uncomfortable.
I wonder how much you can blame on IB or how much the track suffered in Mexico wen the ride ran with no trim brakes. I am sure that didn't help. The fact that it was relocated alone can't be it. Alpina Bahn may not have a loop, but was built by the same people one year earlier and has been traveling ever since. It's ntwhere near bad.
I don't agree with All American Triple loop..I rode it and I thought it was fine..it was janky the shoulder pads are unnecessary and u kinda had to ride defensively but ive ridden way rougher and boring..my cons were those and it was loud..but i had no jawbreaker headbanging and didn't get hurt after..the ride operators actually tell you how to ride defensively too which was nice even if that's a huge con
@@TinySwanGrandAdventures Did it 2 weeks ago it was fine. Could be cyclone cose the where ripping out the tracks when i was there. Defently not Hades loved that ride even if it did eat my car keys.
The fact that Cobra: Lost Kingdom Coaster in Freizeitland Geiselwind didn't even get an honorable mention baffles me 😬 That ride is a torture device for anybody with limbs
I love coasters, and so I'm sad that I've "aged out" of riding the extreme ones. There's a reason why you don't see many grannies and grampies on coasters, so I enjoyed your video A LOT, reliving the pain, er, fun. Your comments are hilarious; I was either laughing or cringing through your list. Back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, my husband and I rode all the extreme coasters here in Southern California. We learned to avoid some of the over-the-shoulder harness ones. His back would scream at him, but he had it easy. I'm a shorty, blessed/cursed (take your pick) with big b**bs, so my rides were especially eventful as my entire head was flung left and right into the restraints and my b**bs were flung up and down. No sports bra could withstand the challenge. I'd get off those rides feeling like a Rubic's cube that needed to be solved. Wish I could be that Rubic's cube again for a day or two. Thanks again for the great content!
Alright. Hard disagree with number 12. I absolutely love green lantern. It’s not only super intense, but has a great layout, and additionally if you get a comfortable ride, the track work is quite smooth. Green lantern is my number 17/211, and my highest B&M because of the pure intensity. I adore the ride but get why people don’t like it. My favorite force is positive g’s so it’s like the ride was made for me lol.
I love the ride as well and is one of my top ones but the only thing is I'm 4'11" so my head is covered by those restraints and I pinball HARD. Doesn't help I have a few ear piercings that got smashed the first ride with a migraine but rode it this year with minimal head banging so no headache!
The thing about RCCA coasters is not only are they incredibly rough, there's also nothing to the layout. All they knew how to do was wide sweeping turns, basically.
Coasters that would’ve probably made this list if it was longer Goliath - SFNE Coast Rider - Knott’s Berry Farm Viper - SFGA Firebird - SFA Great American Scream Machine - SFGA Rattler - SFFT Mean Streak - Cedar Point Vekoma Hang’n Bangs Shockwave - Kings Dominion Mighty Canadian Minebuster - Canada’s Wonderland
My family and I just came back from a day at The Great Escape and the canyon blaster tore my husband knees up. It some how managed to be both boring and bone crunching at the same time.
I rode Triple Loop several times at Indiana Beach. The front seat wasn’t too bad. The park is planning on removing the over-the-shoulder restraints for 2025.
Oh boy, that made memorys come back. I‘ve been on the SLC in Gardaland a few years ago and have never regretted riding a coaster that much! I‘ve got a few ear piercings and never ever had any problems with them, even in other rides with over the shoulder restrains. Let‘s say I had a nice time at the doctor afterwards and lots of Ibuprofen to take…
Personally I loved it, rode it 3 or 4 times in a row - the queues are short because of its reputation and everyone wanting to go on the new fancy ones instead. But none of them had the Gs of the SLC so it's fine in my book
Welcome to the worst SLC in the world for headbanging even Condor wasn't that bad with old restraines in that regard. But to be honest thats the only SLC i actualy think they need to demolish. A there are couple of others i won't ride more then 2 or 3 times in a day but i normaly just push me head to the left on the harnass and i'm fine on that one it didn't work.
The fact that Montezum isn't in this list is just crazy! Except for Time Warp at CW, it's easily the worst coaster I've been on. Montezum is rough even during the lift, that RCCA is just terrible, had a much better experience at Coaster Express My top 10 worst coasters are 1. Time Warp 2. Montezum 3. Manhattan Express (rode it w/old premier trains) 4. Mighty Canadian Minebuster 5. Soarin' Eagle at Coney Island 6. Kong at SFDK 7. Raptor at Fantasilandia 8. Wilde Beast 9. Demon at CGA 10. Grizzly at CGA
@hurricanegproductions5525 yes. Montezum is the terrible RCCA woodie at Hopi Hari, near São Paulo in Brazil. Montezooma appears to be quite a fun shuttle loop
pirate's hideaway was not only the most painful thing i've ever ridden but also the most terrifying. the inside is a liminal space. my cousin and i got off and agreed to never ride again.
I road Green Lantern when it was Chang at Kentucky Kingdom, I don’t remember much about the ride experience but it was the first large scale looping coaster I ever rode. But I remember it being a fun layout, so consider that Great Adventure already has a Floorless Coaster, I would love to see Green Lantern get either the Surf Coaster trains or even Old school sit down trains like Kumba.
I feel so validated that Green Lantern is the worst. Short story: After my family rode this for the first time we were all complaining about how much it hurt, especially in the nether regions. Shortly after riding we walked past a custom wooden sign souvenir shop named “Woody’s Woodshop” and my Dad stated that after the experience we just had on Green Lantern, he’s going to need to pay a visit to Woodys Woodshop 😉🤣. Even though this coaster is gone it is certainly not forgotten.
I rode The Big Apple Coaster when I was 8 and did it like 10 times. I’m 24 now, and now looking back on it..for the rest of that week, I experienced the worst shoulder pain I’ve ever had.
That blue and red SLC isn't even the worst coaster at Darien Lake. There is a wooden coaster that hurts to ride. But they did close that SLC(MIND ERASER) for the year. So we'll see what they do with it next year
Kentucky Kingdom is my home park. T2/T3 was never open any of the times we went. Even as a kid, I wondered why they hadn’t torn it down since it just sat there. Green Lantern used to be called Chang and was at Kentucky Kingdom. One of my core memories is the time my thrill seeking dad rode it and then immediately stuck his head in the nearest trash can to throw up. I thought it looked cool, but was never tall enough to ride and sounds like that was a good thing.
I distinctly remember almost blacking out thru the loop on Chang back in the day and suffering a very intense headache immediately after riding. I seem to recall it claimed to pull 5Gs. KK is my home park too (though I haven't been in several years).
My family started going the year they reopened, and T3 wasn't available for a while when we went either. But once it did start being open when we went, it became my favorite ride there, even over my previous favorite of Lightning Run. But they both got left in the dust after Storm Chaser was opened and I got over my initial fear of it. I sometimes wish I was born a couple decades earlier so I could've experienced some of the rides that got retired before I could even see them
There was a Toboggan at Santa's Village in Dundee Illinois, my mom and uncle road it together, my uncle was in pain afterwards. He is 6'2". I remember Z-Force, but never road it.
Love your videos. Always great content. I appreciate that you accept others may have differing opinions to yours and I like that you try to share as much footage and history of a coaster as you can. Keep up the awesome work!
@@WhatAG23trust me if you even see a stand up coaster, don’t ride it, not worth the credit, only 2 that are good are literally Georgia Scorcher and riddlers revenge.
Yeah, no surprise to see Bandit here. It still inhales major dong to this very day. But when even park officials have to say sorry for keeping a hated ride open, holy beans...
When I was at Kentucky Kingdom a few months ago, I saw T3 track and support pieces organized in the back parking lot. It seems that the park is selling the coaster for relocation
the roughest ride i have probably been on is Grand National at Blackpool Pleasure Beach Last time i went on it, first drop flung me out my seat and i landed back in it as hard as the hulk slamming the ground. I felt like my back was broken.
I dunno about the Carowinds ride but it looks really similar to Vortex at California's Great America (same manufacturer, stand-up cars until 2017, and the track layout looks really similar) and I always really liked that coaster.
I rode Flashback in 8th grade for our grad night. There was no line. When we got on, I was with two girls in my class. One of them suggested we pull the shoulder restraints down on her friend after launch. We succeeded too well. The bottom of the restraint dug deep into her gut, and every bump made her grunt. At the end, it knocked so much air out of her she couldn't say no and we got 3 re-rides in. Once we got off the ride, she pulled up her shirt, and her stomach was red from riding it. I felt bad because we didn't realize how bad it was.
I rode "Scream Machine" at Expo 86 as a kid and always wondered where it ended up. Now I know that it is "Ninja" at Six Flags St. Louis. Thanks for educating me about that lol! I also used to ride the Toboggan at the Puyallup (WA State) Fair every year as a kid in the 80s too. Trust me, you aren't missing much! Great video as always, thank you.
you know I am cleaning my house when I'm watching this. When I heard the name bandit and movie Park Germany, my head turned so fast. I gave out an audible "huh"??😮 😂I fucking love that coaster. I rode it like four or three times when I visited movie park. 😂 but I can see why others may not like it. 😅😅😅
Jet Star 2 at Lagoon is the worst coaster I've ever been on. I always disliked it for the uncomfortable seating, the harsh brakes at the end, and the generally rough ride forces - But my last time riding it ensured I'd never go on it again. The only people in line were me, my two siblings, and another group behind us. For some reason the ride op was trying to rush us into the car as fast as possible, and despite me and my siblings being grown adults, he told us we all needed to sit in the same seat on the ride - I was forced to the back of the seat, and it was so tight I was unable to sit down, and was in an awkward half standing position with my right foot sticking behind me braced against an angled piece of the floor. For some insane reason, despite it being obvious that I wasn't in my seat, and me about to say I needed to get off the ride, the ride op dispatched the car anyway. I don't usually have a problem with coasters. I watch all these theme park channels, I know that most modern coasters are pretty safe. This was not that. It was incredibly sketchy and genuinely terrifying. All I could do was hang on for dear life and hope I didn't get freaking decapitated on the head chopper supports. I was in really bad pain when I got off the ride, and if I'd had the presence of mind to do so I would've told off the ride operator, or at least gone to guest services - But at very least, I'm not riding that thing again. It's just too dadgum old, it's seating requirements are really obnoxious, and even on the best days it's just not a fun ride when you can ride Cannibal instead.
"Green Lantern: First Flight" was a nightmare. The attraction was uncomfortable, painful and discombobulating. I do not remember doing so, but my brother told me that I blacked out at least once. I want to say it was towards the end of the ride. That infamous last drop. I only rode it once, but that was enough.
I happen to be an employee at the Big Apple Coaster and I think it needs to come off this list. Whoever voted for it must have ridden it with the trains it had before 2019. The trains we have on it now make the ride much smoother and you can ask anyone who's ridden both and they will tell you that. Heck, talk to Theme Park Worldwide who rode it again after the new trains and likes it much better. Also, it might interest you to know that we have won a Trip Advisor's Traveler's Choice Award for this year.
I remember the Toboggan. I rode it MANY times as a kid. it was portable enough to be at carnivals as well as permanent enough for traditional amusement parks.
For all the hate, T3 was far from the worst SLC I've been on. You just had to ride defensively, and keep a hand on the joysticks to keep it from coming down tighter.
El Condor is terribly rough for sure XD, and I loved my visit to Parc Asterix in France, but Goudurix has some really rough moments as well, like u need to get in a good position and prepare for some elements during that ride lol, and after one ride I was like enough of this which happened rarely before, but weirdly enough my brother wanted more so we went again, and then he regretted as well XD.
It's a real shame to see All American Triple Loop on this list. Here's hoping Indiana Beach can get their act together and fix its problems, because it pains me to see a classic Schwarzkopf deteriorate like this.
1:25 funny thing many years ago I went to six flag st. Louis and rode the ninja multiple times in row because there was no line. Honestly I remember liking it and how could you go wrong with no wait 🗿
Can confirm. Chance toboggan almost ruined me on coasters growing up because it was the only one to ever show up at our small town fair. Never submit a child to these things. May the all rust in peaces.
I’m missing Montezuum at Hoppi Hari in this list. It’s an RCCA that’s in much worse shape than the other two still operating, that thing actually looks DANGEROUS in how bad it’s maintained
I can't ever truly hate Green Lantern at Great Adventure. The operators let us ride on it through a downpour once and it was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had on a coaster.
Fun Fact: I Rode Coaster Express this year after a massive retrack and now it is rather smooth. Yes, the layout is boring and the operations are bad, bur it runs so well that i have no complains.
I'm only a moderate coaster rider, but for me the two worst coasters I've been on was the New York/New York you mentioned, and Ghost Rider at Knott's Berry Farm, in the mid 2010s. I literally could feel my brains rattling in my head, and was worried I would have a seizure. I've been told it has been re-tracked and is much better now, but I haven't had the chance to ride it again. The Toboggan was the 1st non-kiddie coaster I rode. I don't remember much about it other than I was able to ride a "big boy" coaster. I think I rode it once since then, and don't remember anything good or bad about it.
@@DT-hg7te Good to know. I was there a couple of months ago, but there was only 1 train running and the wait was over 2 hours, so I passed on it. Xcellerator, Hang Time, and Silver Bullet were the ones this time (and all 3 were great)
@@kcreeves199 Ghost Rider is without a doubt the best ride at the park. Try to catch it as your first ride of the day, and later that day you'll find yourself waiting in the line to ride it again.
I've been on Tornado at M&D's in Scotland and it is truly the worst, I wasn't even there for the theme park it was just weirdly next to our hotel so we went as you only payed for the rides you went on. Before I found out Pinfari made it, I just presumed some mad Scott in a shed had done it. But yeah it had quite a lot going on 2 loops, 2 inversions and a corkscrew. Firstly the strap holding me in was frayed, it was very rough, all I remember from it is being jiggled about and I paid £2.50 for the privilege, the track was rusting and it had scaffolding around it and no one else in my group would go on it but me, because they didn't trust it. So it was just me and a couple on the thing. we were both put in the middle, I never thought about how odd that was but later on I found out the ride is so bad at the ends, the guy was just trying to make the ride as pain free as possible. I genuinely don't remember much about about it, except my head getting smashed about. There is a video of it on RUclips and the camera breaks before the ride is over because it got smashed on the last inversion it was that bad, that last inversion was also later removed due to it being so bad.
The new trains for the SLC at Six Flags America make it an entirely new experience. I use to refuse to go on Mind Eraser, it’d always give me a massive headache. But these new trains are amazing, the ride is so smooth with zero head banging!
As a survivor of Flashback, I can attest that it was super bad. The reason you cant get good on-ride video footage is because the VHS based camera's back in those days could not deal with the shaking.
I went on The Great Nor’ Easter at Moreys piers, and I gotta say, that coaster has not aged well AT ALL. Easily my worst roller coaster experience ever. Bruised my legs, head splintering headache, and guess what? THE PARK CLAIMED IT ONLY GOT RETRACKED! i’m more scared what the old tracks fell like…
You forgot about Motorcoaster at Dreamworld Australia. Its restrain system is 1 of the most miserable designs ever made because its basically designed for a little kid in mind and not an adult, and that's the adult motorcycle side too.
I can vouch for two of these: Green Lantern, yes, that is the obvious one. Really, it was like being tossed in a dryer without the warmth. But it was that Flashback coaster that really brutalized me. That thing was ruthless in its cruelty, knocking and twisting you unnaturally - nothing in it was smooth, nothing flowed. At the time, I was naive enough to think, "Well, maybe it was the time of day or something," so, I rode it again. It wasn't the time of day. No. It was the sadistic designers who brought forth that machine upon us.
The worst I’ve ever ridden is no longer there! It was the cheetah, a wooden coaster at Wild Adventures where Zombie Land was filmed. It’s outside my hometown of Valdosta, Ga and every single time I rode it on the very first turn it would jar my back so much that I had a muscle spasm and could hardly walk afterwards
Nothing can convince me that hero isn't a torture device. I rodevit again recently what a mistake. I felt like I was in a cage being slammed around. The amount of pain I experienced was unbelievable. Never riding it again 😅
Yes, Bandit being a RCCA creation probably doesn´t help with it´s problems But I´m still convinced that part of it´s issues are also rooted in it´s structure using almost twice as much wood as similar woodies in the US (and most likely the rest of the world too). You see, it was the first modern woodie in Germany and the authorities here had no experience with rides like that, so they requested that the ride had to sit on far more single foundations than how it was usually done.
I swear that Vortex was not as bad when I was younger as it is now. 😂 I love Georgia Scorcher though. 😄 I would ride the ones that still exist just for the credits. 🤣
is it something to do with your height? for me, demon at six flags great america was a ride I loved in elementary school, hated in late middle to early high school since my height then made me prone to headbanging (and that was also the time they put VR on it, which was dreadful) and now it’s a ride I really enjoy again since I’m tall enough where I avoid headbanging
I grew up within fifteen minutes of Kings Island, and one of my cousins was on the Son of Beast the day it had its big breakdown, on the train RIGHT before the one that sent people to the hospital. I remember him talking about the fact that he and some other people were talking about how the coaster felt rougher than they remembered. And then...

While I agree, I appreciate his dedication to staying up to date on slang 🤣
The Chance Toboggan looks like something I would make in RCT. A really tall lift hill with a helix that goes all the way back down to the ground.
I’ve tried making it in RCT a few times 😂 I even found someone who made a replica in Planet Coaster one time
It was a fun little coaster capacity is crap end i don't think you fit if your taller then 5.8 but for a kiddy ride i was smilling when i did it.
I'm honestly shocked at how Indiana Beach has screwed up All American Triple Loop so badly. Hopefully they can fix it in the coming offseason and maybe even try and give it new and improved trains, but for this coaster to be a total flop after having so much excitement surround it (and also being delayed) would be a disaster for the park.
Exactly. IB somehow managed to make a Schwarzkopf rough. Even Revolution during the OTSR days was not considered rough, just merely uncomfortable.
I wonder how much you can blame on IB or how much the track suffered in Mexico wen the ride ran with no trim brakes. I am sure that didn't help.
The fact that it was relocated alone can't be it. Alpina Bahn may not have a loop, but was built by the same people one year earlier and has been traveling ever since. It's ntwhere near bad.
I don't agree with All American Triple loop..I rode it and I thought it was fine..it was janky the shoulder pads are unnecessary and u kinda had to ride defensively but ive ridden way rougher and boring..my cons were those and it was loud..but i had no jawbreaker headbanging and didn't get hurt after..the ride operators actually tell you how to ride defensively too which was nice even if that's a huge con
Honestly, given all the wear and tear it already suffered before it was accquired by Indiana Beach, I'm not sure why they bothered to acquire it.
It was desaster wen i went to ride it...... Nope it was down so i wouldnt know.
There was a Toboggan that used to go up with our local county fair. It was *so bad* but, you know, when you're a kid, that's fun.
I thought at least one Coaster from Mt. Olympus in Wisconsin dells would've made the list
Pegasus?
Pegasus 😩 It got a retracking recently though so supposedly it's much less painful now?
@@TinySwanGrandAdventures Did it 2 weeks ago it was fine. Could be cyclone cose the where ripping out the tracks when i was there. Defently not Hades loved that ride even if it did eat my car keys.
The fact that Cobra: Lost Kingdom Coaster in Freizeitland Geiselwind didn't even get an honorable mention baffles me 😬 That ride is a torture device for anybody with limbs
Isn’t that the really small coaster with an inversion?
@@bubblegaminglol It is indeed rather small with one sidewinder
hehe my nr 2 maybe nr 3 on the worst coaster list yup i was wondering that to guess not maney americanes made it to Geiselwind.
I love coasters, and so I'm sad that I've "aged out" of riding the extreme ones. There's a reason why you don't see many grannies and grampies on coasters, so I enjoyed your video A LOT, reliving the pain, er, fun. Your comments are hilarious; I was either laughing or cringing through your list. Back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, my husband and I rode all the extreme coasters here in Southern California. We learned to avoid some of the over-the-shoulder harness ones. His back would scream at him, but he had it easy. I'm a shorty, blessed/cursed (take your pick) with big b**bs, so my rides were especially eventful as my entire head was flung left and right into the restraints and my b**bs were flung up and down. No sports bra could withstand the challenge. I'd get off those rides feeling like a Rubic's cube that needed to be solved. Wish I could be that Rubic's cube again for a day or two. Thanks again for the great content!
Alright. Hard disagree with number 12. I absolutely love green lantern. It’s not only super intense, but has a great layout, and additionally if you get a comfortable ride, the track work is quite smooth. Green lantern is my number 17/211, and my highest B&M because of the pure intensity. I adore the ride but get why people don’t like it. My favorite force is positive g’s so it’s like the ride was made for me lol.
I legit had some really fun rides on it, and I even included it in a video about the most underrated coasters I've been on. But a vote's a vote 😅😅
It’s legit a 10/10 ride, enthusiasts are wimpy cowards
I love the ride as well and is one of my top ones but the only thing is I'm 4'11" so my head is covered by those restraints and I pinball HARD. Doesn't help I have a few ear piercings that got smashed the first ride with a migraine but rode it this year with minimal head banging so no headache!
Same, 10/10 I loved that ride!
I agree, I’m able to get the little seat down so it doesn’t bother me down there and it’s not that rough at all. It’s intense and a great ride imo
Bandit is constantly being retracked. But the heavy trains don't take long to ruin all the work they put into it.
I know it's not the main focal point of the video, but let me just say that the transition into the sponsor is absolutely SEAMLESS! XD
But the transition out was a gut punch!😂
0:26 "As voted on by Da viewers"
The thing about RCCA coasters is not only are they incredibly rough, there's also nothing to the layout. All they knew how to do was wide sweeping turns, basically.
Coasters that would’ve probably made this list if it was longer
Goliath - SFNE
Coast Rider - Knott’s Berry Farm
Viper - SFGA
Firebird - SFA
Great American Scream Machine - SFGA
Rattler - SFFT
Mean Streak - Cedar Point
Vekoma Hang’n Bangs
Shockwave - Kings Dominion
Mighty Canadian Minebuster - Canada’s Wonderland
My family and I just came back from a day at The Great Escape and the canyon blaster tore my husband knees up. It some how managed to be both boring and bone crunching at the same time.
From experience, if you want it to be just boring, ride in one of the middle rows of a car.
I rode Triple Loop several times at Indiana Beach. The front seat wasn’t too bad. The park is planning on removing the over-the-shoulder restraints for 2025.
Oh boy, that made memorys come back. I‘ve been on the SLC in Gardaland a few years ago and have never regretted riding a coaster that much! I‘ve got a few ear piercings and never ever had any problems with them, even in other rides with over the shoulder restrains. Let‘s say I had a nice time at the doctor afterwards and lots of Ibuprofen to take…
Blue tornado is awful, as are limit and MP express - but condor at walibi is in it's own league of awfulness!
Personally I loved it, rode it 3 or 4 times in a row - the queues are short because of its reputation and everyone wanting to go on the new fancy ones instead. But none of them had the Gs of the SLC so it's fine in my book
Welcome to the worst SLC in the world for headbanging even Condor wasn't that bad with old restraines in that regard. But to be honest thats the only SLC i actualy think they need to demolish. A there are couple of others i won't ride more then 2 or 3 times in a day but i normaly just push me head to the left on the harnass and i'm fine on that one it didn't work.
15:58 you just had to mention bandit (not the coaster, bluey’s dad)
The fact that Montezum isn't in this list is just crazy! Except for Time Warp at CW, it's easily the worst coaster I've been on. Montezum is rough even during the lift, that RCCA is just terrible, had a much better experience at Coaster Express
My top 10 worst coasters are
1. Time Warp
2. Montezum
3. Manhattan Express (rode it w/old premier trains)
4. Mighty Canadian Minebuster
5. Soarin' Eagle at Coney Island
6. Kong at SFDK
7. Raptor at Fantasilandia
8. Wilde Beast
9. Demon at CGA
10. Grizzly at CGA
that’s different than Montezooma, correct?
@hurricanegproductions5525 yes. Montezum is the terrible RCCA woodie at Hopi Hari, near São Paulo in Brazil.
Montezooma appears to be quite a fun shuttle loop
I actually really enjoyed Mighty Canadian Minebuster. Wilde Beast on the other hand was the worst, felt like I was about to die.
pirate's hideaway was not only the most painful thing i've ever ridden but also the most terrifying. the inside is a liminal space. my cousin and i got off and agreed to never ride again.
I road Green Lantern when it was Chang at Kentucky Kingdom, I don’t remember much about the ride experience but it was the first large scale looping coaster I ever rode. But I remember it being a fun layout, so consider that Great Adventure already has a Floorless Coaster, I would love to see Green Lantern get either the Surf Coaster trains or even Old school sit down trains like Kumba.
I feel so validated that Green Lantern is the worst. Short story: After my family rode this for the first time we were all complaining about how much it hurt, especially in the nether regions. Shortly after riding we walked past a custom wooden sign souvenir shop named “Woody’s Woodshop” and my Dad stated that after the experience we just had on Green Lantern, he’s going to need to pay a visit to Woodys Woodshop 😉🤣. Even though this coaster is gone it is certainly not forgotten.
It was the most popular coaster here as Chang.
I rode The Big Apple Coaster when I was 8 and did it like 10 times. I’m 24 now, and now looking back on it..for the rest of that week, I experienced the worst shoulder pain I’ve ever had.
Maybe it's just personal experience talking but Mean Streak from Cedar Point even as young and spry as I was back then still gives me nightmares.
That blue and red SLC isn't even the worst coaster at Darien Lake. There is a wooden coaster that hurts to ride. But they did close that SLC(MIND ERASER) for the year. So we'll see what they do with it next year
Kentucky Kingdom is my home park. T2/T3 was never open any of the times we went. Even as a kid, I wondered why they hadn’t torn it down since it just sat there.
Green Lantern used to be called Chang and was at Kentucky Kingdom. One of my core memories is the time my thrill seeking dad rode it and then immediately stuck his head in the nearest trash can to throw up. I thought it looked cool, but was never tall enough to ride and sounds like that was a good thing.
I distinctly remember almost blacking out thru the loop on Chang back in the day and suffering a very intense headache immediately after riding. I seem to recall it claimed to pull 5Gs. KK is my home park too (though I haven't been in several years).
I never trusted any of the coasters. They all seemed to have issues, except Thunder Run.
My family started going the year they reopened, and T3 wasn't available for a while when we went either. But once it did start being open when we went, it became my favorite ride there, even over my previous favorite of Lightning Run. But they both got left in the dust after Storm Chaser was opened and I got over my initial fear of it. I sometimes wish I was born a couple decades earlier so I could've experienced some of the rides that got retired before I could even see them
There was a Toboggan at Santa's Village in Dundee Illinois, my mom and uncle road it together, my uncle was in pain afterwards. He is 6'2". I remember Z-Force, but never road it.
hehe i'm 5.75 and i could bearly fit in it i can imagine. Must say i had a big smile when i rode it in Little A.
Thank you for including me ❤️ 0:00
Love your videos. Always great content. I appreciate that you accept others may have differing opinions to yours and I like that you try to share as much footage and history of a coaster as you can. Keep up the awesome work!
Iron Wolf from Six Flags Great America was the worst ride ever, known to give riders concussions 😅😂
My dad would agree with that… I still wish I had a chance to ride it one time in standup form just to see what it was about.
@@WhatAG23trust me if you even see a stand up coaster, don’t ride it, not worth the credit, only 2 that are good are literally Georgia Scorcher and riddlers revenge.
Iron wolf was a good coaster when it opened. After the restraints were changed, it was uncomfortable to ride.
Yeah, no surprise to see Bandit here. It still inhales major dong to this very day.
But when even park officials have to say sorry for keeping a hated ride open, holy beans...
Yup i don't understand why they just don't put titan tracks in it that should solve the problem. Ok itss not a woody anymore but who cares.
I would ride the green lantern one ngl…
it’s gone now lol
It’s defunct
@@Coaster2O5cpI think they mean the standup coaster
No I mean the side ways one
Nice to know, but what about the rollercoaster?
When I was at Kentucky Kingdom a few months ago, I saw T3 track and support pieces organized in the back parking lot. It seems that the park is selling the coaster for relocation
Rumoured to be coming to the uk
the roughest ride i have probably been on is Grand National at Blackpool Pleasure Beach
Last time i went on it, first drop flung me out my seat and i landed back in it as hard as the hulk slamming the ground. I felt like my back was broken.
Toboggan looks like a ride you'd find in some sketchy amusement park deep into Russia or China... that said, i'd love to try it! :D
FYI - There is an eternal flame that burns at Kings Island where Son of Beast used to stand in memory of the coaster.
Vortex is a fine ride. This is the hill upon which I will die.
I dunno about the Carowinds ride but it looks really similar to Vortex at California's Great America (same manufacturer, stand-up cars until 2017, and the track layout looks really similar) and I always really liked that coaster.
I liked it wasn;t the best coaster in the world but it was ok.
I rode Flashback in 8th grade for our grad night. There was no line. When we got on, I was with two girls in my class. One of them suggested we pull the shoulder restraints down on her friend after launch. We succeeded too well. The bottom of the restraint dug deep into her gut, and every bump made her grunt. At the end, it knocked so much air out of her she couldn't say no and we got 3 re-rides in. Once we got off the ride, she pulled up her shirt, and her stomach was red from riding it. I felt bad because we didn't realize how bad it was.
I rode "Scream Machine" at Expo 86 as a kid and always wondered where it ended up. Now I know that it is "Ninja" at Six Flags St. Louis. Thanks for educating me about that lol! I also used to ride the Toboggan at the Puyallup (WA State) Fair every year as a kid in the 80s too. Trust me, you aren't missing much! Great video as always, thank you.
you know I am cleaning my house when I'm watching this. When I heard the name bandit and movie Park Germany, my head turned so fast. I gave out an audible "huh"??😮 😂I fucking love that coaster. I rode it like four or three times when I visited movie park. 😂 but I can see why others may not like it. 😅😅😅
Jet Star 2 at Lagoon is the worst coaster I've ever been on. I always disliked it for the uncomfortable seating, the harsh brakes at the end, and the generally rough ride forces -
But my last time riding it ensured I'd never go on it again. The only people in line were me, my two siblings, and another group behind us. For some reason the ride op was trying to rush us into the car as fast as possible, and despite me and my siblings being grown adults, he told us we all needed to sit in the same seat on the ride -
I was forced to the back of the seat, and it was so tight I was unable to sit down, and was in an awkward half standing position with my right foot sticking behind me braced against an angled piece of the floor.
For some insane reason, despite it being obvious that I wasn't in my seat, and me about to say I needed to get off the ride, the ride op dispatched the car anyway.
I don't usually have a problem with coasters. I watch all these theme park channels, I know that most modern coasters are pretty safe. This was not that. It was incredibly sketchy and genuinely terrifying.
All I could do was hang on for dear life and hope I didn't get freaking decapitated on the head chopper supports.
I was in really bad pain when I got off the ride, and if I'd had the presence of mind to do so I would've told off the ride operator, or at least gone to guest services -
But at very least, I'm not riding that thing again. It's just too dadgum old, it's seating requirements are really obnoxious, and even on the best days it's just not a fun ride when you can ride Cannibal instead.
"Green Lantern: First Flight" was a nightmare. The attraction was uncomfortable, painful and discombobulating. I do not remember doing so, but my brother told me that I blacked out at least once. I want to say it was towards the end of the ride. That infamous last drop.
I only rode it once, but that was enough.
I happen to be an employee at the Big Apple Coaster and I think it needs to come off this list. Whoever voted for it must have ridden it with the trains it had before 2019. The trains we have on it now make the ride much smoother and you can ask anyone who's ridden both and they will tell you that. Heck, talk to Theme Park Worldwide who rode it again after the new trains and likes it much better. Also, it might interest you to know that we have won a Trip Advisor's Traveler's Choice Award for this year.
I remember the Toboggan. I rode it MANY times as a kid. it was portable enough to be at carnivals as well as permanent enough for traditional amusement parks.
For all the hate, T3 was far from the worst SLC I've been on. You just had to ride defensively, and keep a hand on the joysticks to keep it from coming down tighter.
El Condor is terribly rough for sure XD, and I loved my visit to Parc Asterix in France, but Goudurix has some really rough moments as well, like u need to get in a good position and prepare for some elements during that ride lol, and after one ride I was like enough of this which happened rarely before, but weirdly enough my brother wanted more so we went again, and then he regretted as well XD.
Can't believe colossus isn't here
Also, coaster express got a retrack. So this video should take note
Done it before the retrack hopefully it helped that is my nr 1 most horrible coaster i have ever done.
It's a real shame to see All American Triple Loop on this list. Here's hoping Indiana Beach can get their act together and fix its problems, because it pains me to see a classic Schwarzkopf deteriorate like this.
Number 15s biggest problem is it is in Indianapolis.
The discomfort is inherent.
TRUST me.
😂
17:23 THE BRAINROT GOT TO HIM
1:25 funny thing many years ago I went to six flag st. Louis and rode the ninja multiple times in row because there was no line. Honestly I remember liking it and how could you go wrong with no wait 🗿
I unironically enjoyed T3. It was a bit janky but it didn't hurt me at all
Can confirm. Chance toboggan almost ruined me on coasters growing up because it was the only one to ever show up at our small town fair. Never submit a child to these things. May the all rust in peaces.
As a kid in the 80s, I rode a Toboggan with my dad precisely one time. I had blocked out the panic attack until just now. 😅
Amazing video as always! Keep up the great work!
I’m missing Montezuum at Hoppi Hari in this list. It’s an RCCA that’s in much worse shape than the other two still operating, that thing actually looks DANGEROUS in how bad it’s maintained
The villain at the old Geauga Lake theme park should have made it on here imo. I remember feeling like I got jumped when I rode it
"I cant stand to stand on this stand-up coaster, so I'm taking a stand right now." 🤣😂
I can't ever truly hate Green Lantern at Great Adventure. The operators let us ride on it through a downpour once and it was one of the coolest experiences I've ever had on a coaster.
Real men can enjoy a good head banger, that's my unironic hot take 💀
Fun Fact: I Rode Coaster Express this year after a massive retrack and now it is rather smooth. Yes, the layout is boring and the operations are bad, bur it runs so well that i have no complains.
8:08 emp lemons favorite roller coaster for it's trade mark downward spiral 💀
The Tobaggan at Conneaut Lake Park gave me a literal concussion when I went there in 2006. Not surprised that was it’s last season,
I'm only a moderate coaster rider, but for me the two worst coasters I've been on was the New York/New York you mentioned, and Ghost Rider at Knott's Berry Farm, in the mid 2010s. I literally could feel my brains rattling in my head, and was worried I would have a seizure. I've been told it has been re-tracked and is much better now, but I haven't had the chance to ride it again. The Toboggan was the 1st non-kiddie coaster I rode. I don't remember much about it other than I was able to ride a "big boy" coaster. I think I rode it once since then, and don't remember anything good or bad about it.
I rode Ghostrider in 2020 just before the pandemic and I can tell you it's super-smooth now.
@@DT-hg7te Good to know. I was there a couple of months ago, but there was only 1 train running and the wait was over 2 hours, so I passed on it. Xcellerator, Hang Time, and Silver Bullet were the ones this time (and all 3 were great)
@@kcreeves199 Ghost Rider is without a doubt the best ride at the park. Try to catch it as your first ride of the day, and later that day you'll find yourself waiting in the line to ride it again.
I've been on Tornado at M&D's in Scotland and it is truly the worst, I wasn't even there for the theme park it was just weirdly next to our hotel so we went as you only payed for the rides you went on. Before I found out Pinfari made it, I just presumed some mad Scott in a shed had done it. But yeah it had quite a lot going on 2 loops, 2 inversions and a corkscrew. Firstly the strap holding me in was frayed, it was very rough, all I remember from it is being jiggled about and I paid £2.50 for the privilege, the track was rusting and it had scaffolding around it and no one else in my group would go on it but me, because they didn't trust it. So it was just me and a couple on the thing. we were both put in the middle, I never thought about how odd that was but later on I found out the ride is so bad at the ends, the guy was just trying to make the ride as pain free as possible. I genuinely don't remember much about about it, except my head getting smashed about. There is a video of it on RUclips and the camera breaks before the ride is over because it got smashed on the last inversion it was that bad, that last inversion was also later removed due to it being so bad.
The new trains for the SLC at Six Flags America make it an entirely new experience. I use to refuse to go on Mind Eraser, it’d always give me a massive headache. But these new trains are amazing, the ride is so smooth with zero head banging!
the way i describe Harley Quinn at SFDK is like being thrown into a blender then turning it on. it hurt so bad
As a survivor of Flashback, I can attest that it was super bad. The reason you cant get good on-ride video footage is because the VHS based camera's back in those days could not deal with the shaking.
I went on The Great Nor’ Easter at Moreys piers, and I gotta say, that coaster has not aged well AT ALL. Easily my worst roller coaster experience ever. Bruised my legs, head splintering headache, and guess what? THE PARK CLAIMED IT ONLY GOT RETRACKED! i’m more scared what the old tracks fell like…
I rode Bandit this summer and it was honestly pretty fun and wasn’t really rough, more just bouncy
The Ninja is a great "break-in" coaster to get you limber for the day.
You forgot about Motorcoaster at Dreamworld Australia. Its restrain system is 1 of the most miserable designs ever made because its basically designed for a little kid in mind and not an adult, and that's the adult motorcycle side too.
I rode the Swiss toboggan ride when I was 6 back in 1967. I rode it alone.I was really popular at fairs in the 60s.
Your description of "Toboggan" had me laughing. 🤣 I feel that I now simply MUST ride it, to experience all of its CRAP TASTING glory!
I meant crap-tastic, but considering this ride, maybe "auto-correct" was right. This ride is indeed, "Crap Tasting!" YUMMY! 😋
Why is Anaconda at KD still here?!.....Just to Suffer!?!
For me, The Hulk at Islands of Adventure is the WORST headache-inducing nightmare, but Velocicoaster is THE BEST coaster I've been on
I can vouch for two of these: Green Lantern, yes, that is the obvious one. Really, it was like being tossed in a dryer without the warmth. But it was that Flashback coaster that really brutalized me. That thing was ruthless in its cruelty, knocking and twisting you unnaturally - nothing in it was smooth, nothing flowed. At the time, I was naive enough to think, "Well, maybe it was the time of day or something," so, I rode it again. It wasn't the time of day. No. It was the sadistic designers who brought forth that machine upon us.
The worst I’ve ever ridden is no longer there! It was the cheetah, a wooden coaster at Wild Adventures where Zombie Land was filmed. It’s outside my hometown of Valdosta, Ga and every single time I rode it on the very first turn it would jar my back so much that I had a muscle spasm and could hardly walk afterwards
Am I tripping or did TPC just drop a face reveal on us out of nowhere, in the middle of ad read no less!?! I’m shocked!
He's used his face in a lot of videos
Nothing can convince me that hero isn't a torture device. I rodevit again recently what a mistake. I felt like I was in a cage being slammed around. The amount of pain I experienced was unbelievable. Never riding it again 😅
Yes, Bandit being a RCCA creation probably doesn´t help with it´s problems But I´m still convinced that part of it´s issues are also rooted in it´s structure using almost twice as much wood as similar woodies in the US (and most likely the rest of the world too). You see, it was the first modern woodie in Germany and the authorities here had no experience with rides like that, so they requested that the ride had to sit on far more single foundations than how it was usually done.
I swear that Vortex was not as bad when I was younger as it is now. 😂 I love Georgia Scorcher though. 😄 I would ride the ones that still exist just for the credits. 🤣
is it something to do with your height? for me, demon at six flags great america was a ride I loved in elementary school, hated in late middle to early high school since my height then made me prone to headbanging (and that was also the time they put VR on it, which was dreadful) and now it’s a ride I really enjoy again since I’m tall enough where I avoid headbanging
I grew up within fifteen minutes of Kings Island, and one of my cousins was on the Son of Beast the day it had its big breakdown, on the train RIGHT before the one that sent people to the hospital. I remember him talking about the fact that he and some other people were talking about how the coaster felt rougher than they remembered. And then...
Gotham (Tornado): Want to see what it feels like to get beat up by Batman? 😂
