The Mini-Mine Train at Over Texas actually gives decent airtime with a full train of adults. For sure not Arrow's worst creation. Also Runaway Mountain is a fantastic ride. Smooth as heck and surprisingly forceful for an indoor family coaster.
screaming squirrel looks like it would be in the thumbnail of one of those clickbait gp "top 10 dangerous rollercoasters!! (THESE WILL KILL YOU)" videos
Legoland is my home park, so I love Coastersaurus. It's not great, but I thought it was somewhat thrilling. Also, I 100% agree with your RMC opinion. All of them are great.
6:04 honestly, Sequoia Magic Loop (?, I don't know where it's called anymore) was really fun and the ultimate hangtime machine. It's one of my favorite ride models and people don't give the restraints enough credit for how comfortable they are
3:55 About the gerstlauer coaster Huracan, personally i have not ridden it, but i know many who claim it is rough as hell. A friend of mine(who is not an enthusiast) said it was really unpleasant, so it's not just that coaster snobs are complaining. The coaster was bought by the park, because it was on sale. It was actually intended for a park in the UAE called "F1-X-Park", of which the development was canceled. That's why the coaster is red, which is not really fitting for the Egyptian theme.
Yk id actually say American Eagle is the worst intamin due to how bad its conditions gotten over the years, leading it to becoming a really rough coaster
Me too!!! I was about to do the same when I saw Verbolten in the part 1 video, thankfully it wasn't said that it was the worst then I might have made a comment there. It's my favorite coaster!!! Same with Great Bear!
Huracan looks like if Gerstlauer took Dare Dave Dive(SFOG)but with a B&M Layout, much like Fahrenheit, if it was actually made by Gerstlauer and not Intamin.
Roar and Firebird at SFA can actually be enjoyed, its just that other enthusiast tend to ride in all the wrong rows. Roar you have to ride in the front row and u can get some good laterals and floater air in some places. Firebird you have to ride in the very back row and keep your head forwards and its pretty smooth for the most part (besides the very prominent rattle, and transition in and out of the first loop). You can surprisingly get some pops of airtime back there too in add places like the exit of the turnaround after the loop. And the corkscrew is very whippy back row. These rides can and will be bad if you dont know how to ride them.
Okay, so worst Intamin is in Disneyland Paris, yes, but it isn't RC Racer, it's the pain machine designed by Pinfari named Indiana Jones et le temple du péril. Great video!
You mentioned ODDESSY it’s my only slc I’ve done but it’s runs great sometimes horrid sometimes , I’ve came off with a headache but the layout is fantastic and it’s one off the most impressive coasters in England
Arrow: If you like Cedar Point's Corkscrew, which I also do, you'll enjoy the ones at MI & Valleyfair, as their drops give great airtime in the back, and they run smoother than CPs. CCI: Pegasus at Mt Olympus is so bad, that I loved it. Boss at Six Flags St Louis is just plain bad, unbelievably rough and no airtime, the only CCI that I truly dislike. Vekoma: Goliath at Six Flags New England is easily the worst, but only because of the trains. Flight Deck in Canada is my least favorite SLC of the 10 I've ridden, but far better than Goliath. Mack: Yeah, definitely Coast Rider, mostly because of those awful shin guards, which are terrible even at 5'6". GCI: Roar for sure, even though I actually liked my one ride on it. Front row is not rough at all. B&M: No doubt it's Firebird, not even close. Intamin: I'm going with La Vibora at SFOT, because the restraints leave you so loose, that you get tossed all over the place, banging different body parts into the rock hard inside of the cars. Bruises and pain are guaranteed. Better restraints would make it a good ride, but as is, it's the only challenger to Firebird for my least favorite operating coaster I've ridden.
For Intamin American Eagle would be a potential pick. I mean, it used to be horrendously rough but isn't anymore, but honestly it's kind of boring. Although I suppose going with those half-pipe coaster things with no spinning is probably a good choice for boring. I wonder if this list would overall be more interesting if wild mice, kiddie coasters, junior coasters (I'd be willing to make an exception for some larger family coasters), and coasters which only ever move on one axis (ex: Green Lantern, Freespins, Screamin Squirrels, basically anything which only pitches and never rolls or turns) were excluded.
Iron Wolf at SFGAm was terrible even in it's early years. Surprised SF has kept it around for this long even after a conversion honestly. It honestly rivaled SLCs in terms of headbanging.
When I was 11, I rode serial thriller at astroworld. Aka ednor. Man, idk what everyone's problem with this ride is. Now I've only ever ridden it once, and I'm sure adult me might have a different opinion than 11 year old me, but pov's of that ride make me smile as I remember certain elements. To this day, that ride was my number 1 roller coaster experience.
It's great to see somebody else's least favorites and compare. Excellent video. For my 250 subscriber special, I'm ranking the best coaster models and was wondering if I could use some of your footage for it. Thank you if the answer is yes.
Absolutely go for it! As long as credit is given on screen or in the description of the video, i’m totally fine with it. edit: feel free to check out my “onride & offride footage” playlist. everything in there is also free to use!
I really like Vekoma SLCs... I don’t get the hate for them! They’re super intense and not that rough! Anyway Kumali which you mentioned is at my home park and it is amazing! Also for Gerstlauer I would say that Saw the ride is the worst because it is SO GOD DAMN ROUGH!!! It’s literally unbearable. For RMC I would say outlaw run is the worst because I found it quite rough but it’s still really high up there for me! I haven’t ridden Joker yet though because last time I went to Discovery Kingdom it was closed... anyway great video!!! I’m loving this series. Now do the most polarising coasters of each manufacturers
I just wanna say know roar at SFA is actually kinda good people over exaggerates the roughness it’s has a bad rattle but it isn’t rough and actually has some good mild airtime and firebird is also kinda good as well
honestly I would say hangtime is the worst gerstlauer, not because of the layout, but because it is really shaky and it rattles you in the valleys, especially in the back car.
@@CoasterDash i agree, but i would class the half pipes as flat rides too. I think Zamperla Disks are more coaster than these examples but they are always considered flat rides.
Sf dk is my home park so I went on road several times as it was my first real roller coaster and while I remember it being rough it was still a fun ride though I was tiny and under 10 at the time.
The worst GCI is definitely Wildcat. Wildcat is literally just Roar but actually rough and lacking any forces that Roar provides. Roar has some of the craziest laterals I have ever experienced, and it's not rough if you just ride it in the front because of all the retracking they've done in recent years. I seriously don't understand why people have the notion that it's rough just because daddy chris says so then proceed to ride in the back row. It's also the longest GCI in North America and has statistically some of the best GCI pacing as well. I even have a friend who rode it this year and says it's better than American Thunder and almost as good as Mystic timbers lol (although I definitely do not agree at all). Sorry, I didn't mean to make some comment trying to trash the video, it was a great video, I just love Roar
I rode Wildcat at Hershey in 2020 and I thought it ran very smooth compared to how it used to. Prior to those recent rides, I would’ve said it was the worst.
You are not wrong about Pegasus. That was my first rollercoaster ever and it made me cry on that brake run lmao. That was back in 1998 and it's only gotten worse.
If you want to appreciate a Vekoma SLC, ride Great Noreastern in Wildwood New Jersey moreys piers, they retracted it a few years ago full retrack and has new trains with better restraints.
IMO.... Arrow: Excalibur (VF) Premier Rides: Slippery When Wet/Soak'd (Hard Rock, RIP) CCI: Hoosier Hurricane Vekoma: Goliath (SFNE) Gerstlauer: Spongebob (way too headbangy, but not unbearable) Mack: Dark Knight (SFGAdv, not horrible, but the theming is blah) GCI: Wildcat(Hershey)
So since I‘m a german and have already ridden Huracan at Belantis....it is by no means a bad coaster. It’s just wrong to say that. The layout ist great (we have to keep in mind that Belantis is an rather small park) but it is a bit „rough“. Is it a weaker Gerstlauer? Probably yes. Besides that it is still a good coaster! We should appreciate coasters for what they are, not hate them for what they arent.... But you are right, most of the german community dislikes Huracan, I just dont understand why
MCB18 Been on T3. Even with new trains, it sucked. My dad doesn’t like rough roller coasters, which means no woodies. I told him he would NOT like T3. He saw that it was steel, and decided “it can’t be that bad!”... He has told me that he had a headache for 2 days afterwards. He was driving us home from our road trip after KK. He wishes he took my advice. Maybe he will next time, as my home park Eliches has the worst SLC several enthusiasts on the NL2 discord have ridden. Yay... get to ride that this summer. Evidently, however, there boomerang is one of the smooth(ish) ones though, so there’s that...
I am going to bat for Runaway Mountain at Six Flags Over Texas. It's a great family ride, and it is smooth as well for a coaster that was Premier's first rollercoaster and is going to be 25 this year. And it is better than the Skyrocket II models for being just unique in the rides of Premier.
Ocean Park Hong Kong is my home park and I can say that Dragon (the arrow Looper) is one of the worst arrow loopers in existence lol. It is rough as hell. Big fan of your channel having only started watching it a few days ago! Keep up the good work!
Happy to see a comment from someone in HK. I cannot wait to visit there one day! Dragon definitely does not look very pleasant. It is going defunct soon so that’s one reason I didn’t mention it. Thanks for the support man 🙏🏻
@@CoasterDash it is real sad to see it go even though it is rough. Hopefully the park can actually survive through the financial troubles it is having now.
Dragotn is going defunct?! Fuck, I would hsve hoped to reride it one day as the only time I have ridden it was as a 10 year old and I cant remember anything. It's so far away from me though.
I'm glad you didn't think of Furius Baco as the worst Intamin. Many people talk about how rough it is but there are DOZENS of us who actually enjoy it.
Oh thank god, I was afraid Invertigo was going to be your choice for Vekoma based on the thumbnail. Good you made the right decision choosing the SLCs.
SLC's are most certainly not that bad. The restraints are terrible, SLC's with vest restraints are really fun rides with a really good layout. And even then, the actually worst Vekoma has to be Goudurix at Parc Asterix, a custom MK-1200 with 7 Inversions that will leave you with a headache for days. That ride is just pure punishment, unless you like pain. As for Huracan at Belantis: Everything that comes after the Zero-G Roll is just complete pain.
RMC is my favorite manufacturer and my least favorite of the 12 I've been on is New Texas Giant. I felt the pacing was a bit off with this one. I know that is a comment about Joker as well, but I felt the elements on Joker were stronger. If Green Lantern still operated at SFMM that would be the worst Intamin by a wide margin. I was not a fan of LaVibora at SFOT. It was rough in a bad way. Vortex is the worst B&M for me. I see positives regarding Riddler's at SFMM and Georgia Scorcher at SFOG when I rode those, but Vortex wasn't good at all. And of the 32 arrow coasters I have been on, I actually have the Mini Mine Train ahead of 9 of them. I am one of those people that really doesn't like Corkscrew at Cedar Point. Great video. The series was really interesting.
Wow, so you mean to tell me that I found a coaster enthusiast on RUclips that actually has LOGICAL picks for worst/best coasters? I didn't disagree with any of your picks, and judging from the comments, nobody did either. I might've changed Firebird to Galacitca/Air for B&M since it's really boring and I would've considered the 389m model for Gerstlauer, but outside of that, you nailed it. Great video!
hahah from what I can tell, i’m one of the few coaster youtube pages that features rides from literally everywhere in the world. I’d consider myself to be pretty well knowledged. Thanks for the support!
For my opinion, the rc racer from paris has pretty cool airtime! I dont know why, but I love that ride. And I think the worst intamin coaster is cedar point's wilderness run. Cool video!
I haven’t been on a lot of gravity groups but my least favorite one is Wooden Coaster Fireball at my home park, it is one of their early creations and has gotten pretty rough recently, the layout has some hills that doesn’t give airtime and some pretty shaky turns.
No, the worst Vekoma coasters aren't the SLC's. The worst one is Goudurix at Parc Asterix in France. A Vekoma custom looper from 1989 and their first computer designed coaster. It got "awarded" the "worst coaster in the world" award several times. Even Vekoma themselves admitted that they poorly built it. It is unbearably rough. Apart from that, people generally agree that the worst SLC is the very first one, El Condor at Walibi Holland.
@@CoasterDash Don't hesitate to watch one of the many POV's of Goudurix, the best example of its roughness is the start of the batwing, you can clearly see that it's the whole opposite of smooth
***WALL OF TEXT INCOMING*** Ok, lemme defend my home park SFA here: Firebird is actually pretty fun! Apocalypse was abysmal but I like Firebird. And Roar, when I went on it this past season, gave me some pretty good airtime and laterals. Imo Wildcat is the worst GCI because it was just so forceless. Heck, Lightning Racers is less forceful than Wildcat, but that is a dueling coaster. Now for something worse than Firebird, I haven't actually ridden Vortex, but Green Lantern at SFGAd liquified my legs and I just **hated** it. Now, none of this is to say that these aren't among the worse coasters in their lineups, because they still are, but they're just not as bad as others say they are. Also as a side note, Mind Eraser is not as bad as people make it out to be. It's fine if you just brace for the transitions that feel like they were made in RCT. Sorry for the mini-rant, I just felt like I had to express my opinions. I guess while I'm still typing I should also give my input for another placement for worst Intamin: Nearly any of the Zac Spins, or Skull Mountain at SFGAd. The Zac Spins I've heard are just **terrible** rides, and Skull Mountain just does nothing, except for the wicked pop of flowjector in the back seat on the first drop.
thank you for sharing your opinion. I read everything and I agree with some things and disagree with others, respectfully of course. I do appreciate you defending Six Flags America. that park has always appeared to be under appreciated to me.
Why is everyone hating on Shockwave at Drayton manor for!! It’s a good ride, the inversions are intense and it’s very smooth for its age. You just need to get the seat hight perfect. I would say Rita at Alton towers is worse (boring layout)
Unpopular opinion: Magnum is a horrible coaster. I got off with a bad headache that lasted the rest of the day along with no airtime. The worst Intamin coadter is Green Lantern now at LaRonda I have to disagree with you on Firebird, Vortex is the absolute worst b&m coaster out there.
I disagree in that it’s a horrible ride. rather, I consider it to be severely overhyped by those to rank it within the top 3 or even 5 at Cedar Point. Also, Green Lantern/Vipère wasn’t considered because neither are currently operating. one is defunct and one is under construction.
WHY DIDN'T YOU THINK OF THAT BEFORE?? THE WORST INTAMIN IS TOO OBVIOUS!! Well I have a feeling it is; it's going to get re-tracked, but that can make rides better or worse, which a few of us know. It's Vipere at La Ronde, aka: Green Lantern: First Flight moved to Canada. If that isn't obvious, than neither is Golden Horse's idea of repeating other roller coaster concepts!!
first up, chill out. no one else is screaming at me for stating my opinion. also, I think you were too quick to comment. the video is about the worst operational roller coasters. neither green lantern first flight or vipère is operational. one is defunct and one is under construction. also, vipère will probably be a much better experience than glff because of its regulations in its country (similar to how Insane at Gröna Lund is seen as such an awesome ride)
@@CoasterDash Got it. I didn't mean to scream. You did say Green Lantern: First Flight and Flashback are gone and you weren't count them, which I respect. I'm pretty sure you didn't count the ones under construction. I just have a feeling Vipere will be one the most painful coasters ever built for it's relocation. Besides, I can never go wrong with a CoasterDash series.
*Looks at comments* Oh wow no one has complained about Skyrush yet. I'm not saying Skyrush is bad but let's be honest, when the conversation about bad operational Intamins come up, there's always 10 comment chains arguing about the restraints, so that deserves a mention, even if the layout is great.
Hey man, great video! I have one totally unrelated question that I hope you can answer. When I was younger I rode pteranodon flyers at IOA, even though Rcdb lost it as a coaster, I’m not sure if I should count it as a credit or not.
Thank You! 🙏🏻 As for the question, I’d absolutely count zipline coasters. Not that i’ve ridden any, but also take into account that i’m a bit of a credit whore. I don’t count superloops, water flumes with airtime humps or extended disko’s. I do however count skyline attractions rides (Tidal Twister and Harley Quinn), water coasters with varying roller coaster portions, powered coasters, etc.
@@CoasterDash, also I know this is stupid, but how about dr suess’s sky high trolley at IOA,it doesn’t have a rcdb page but it’s seems like it would just be a normal powered coaster?
There is always a worst rollercoaster; There is a worst for everything. Even if the worst is still good so there is a worst RMC. In my opinion the raptor clones are the worst RMCs even if they are still good.
Steth at thorp Park as a boring layout and rita that alton towers has the nothing going for it is kinda just there the both intermin. Shock wave at dryton Manor of a intermin stand up that I found super uncomfortable. And for Gerstlauer saw at alton towers, and the radge at adventure Island are routh but the are both old and don't have a lot of money thrown at them. Then there the smiler that can't run is there is a breeze and somtime don't even complete the circuit. Thats why no merlin parks or uk theam parks seen to work with them is it not a clone or kiddi coster
@@dorth09 Mystery Mine is also "polarizing". Plus, Mystery Mine has small stats and has a talking vulture in the queue, and I like when company-made animals talk, if their voice fit with the animatronic. Mystery Mine is really themed, too, and it's kind of creepy. And it's at Dollywood, one of, in my opinion, the best theme parks in the world. I haven't been to Dollywood, but it's one of those parks I have to get to at a good time.

@Zacheroni it’s a very nice place.
"Condor" at Walibi Holland is often seen as the worst SLC ever, maybe because it's the prototype model...
Even the new trains with vest restraints couldn't fix it.
I mean there is also t3 here in the us which is another prototype and oh boy
6:04 honestly, Sequoia Magic Loop (?, I don't know where it's called anymore) was really fun and the ultimate hangtime machine. It's one of my favorite ride models and people don't give the restraints enough credit for how comfortable they are

Pegasus looks like if RCCA tried to make Lost Coaster of Superstition Mountain a thrill coaster.
🥲
If you go to RCDB, it doesn’t say that Coastersouras was designed by the gravity group
Yk id actually say American Eagle is the worst intamin due to how bad its conditions gotten over the years, leading it to becoming a really rough coaster
I know you love the ride, but because there was Great Bear offride footage in a video listing worst coasters, I'm starting a riot

I totally agree with you about Coastrider. Too heavily trim braked. And the last coaster you showed on here to me wouldn’t even be a coaster.
I am going to bat for Runaway Mountain at Six Flags Over Texas. It's a great family ride, and it is smooth as well for a coaster that was Premier's first rollercoaster and is going to be 25 this year. And it is better than the Skyrocket II models for being just unique in the rides of Premier.
Like I said in the video, it looks very enjoyable; but I cannot see it being better than a Skyrocket ll which i’m not even the hugest fan of.
Ocean Park Hong Kong is my home park and I can say that Dragon (the arrow Looper) is one of the worst arrow loopers in existence lol. It is rough as hell. Big fan of your channel having only started watching it a few days ago! Keep up the good work!
Happy to see a comment from someone in HK. I cannot wait to visit there one day! Dragon definitely does not look very pleasant. It is going defunct soon so that’s one reason I didn’t mention it. Thanks for the support man 🙏🏻
@@CoasterDash it is real sad to see it go even though it is rough. Hopefully the park can actually survive through the financial troubles it is having now.
Dragotn is going defunct?! Fuck, I would hsve hoped to reride it one day as the only time I have ridden it was as a 10 year old and I cant remember anything. It's so far away from me though.
@@iweiss1752 it is soon unfortunately.
@@haydnchan7880 ah, that suckssss
Great Video 👍

I think the Vekoma Whirlwinds are the worst of their coasters. It's literally an arrow corkscrew with a worse drop and a twister layout.
pegasus is the weirdest roller coaster i’ve ever ridden (i lowkey love it)
I'm glad you didn't think of Furius Baco as the worst Intamin. Many people talk about how rough it is but there are DOZENS of us who actually enjoy it.
Furius Baco looks amazing 🙌🏻
I don't understand how people say Furius Baco is rough, I've found it quite smooth. It has an awesome launch and a wippy inversion. I'm a big fan.
Oh thank god, I was afraid Invertigo was going to be your choice for Vekoma based on the thumbnail. Good you made the right decision choosing the SLCs.
lol Invertigo looks awesome
I'd suggest G'sengte Sau at Prater Vienna for worst Gerstlauer. It's not terrible but it just feels like a slightly better Wild Mouse
Worst intamin is Jr. Gemini aka wilderness run at CP. It was their first coaster but it’s a kiddy coaster unless we’re not really including those.
yeah, I chose to not really include kiddie/tame family coasters for the most part. there were some exceptions though.
when there’s no dislikes 😌
some 2 bullies disliked it 🙄
SLC's are most certainly not that bad. The restraints are terrible, SLC's with vest restraints are really fun rides with a really good layout. And even then, the actually worst Vekoma has to be Goudurix at Parc Asterix, a custom MK-1200 with 7 Inversions that will leave you with a headache for days. That ride is just pure punishment, unless you like pain.
As for Huracan at Belantis: Everything that comes after the Zero-G Roll is just complete pain.
I didn’t include SLC’s with vests. also, I agree that Goudurix is probably the true worst.
For gravity group I would say mindblower at funspot that thing hurts
The real question is what is pinfari’s worst coaster
They’re too good, they don’t have one!
I heard the valley fair corkscrew is actually pretty decent
I’m just now finding out 😅
I can say from experience
Yeah it’s actually one of the better arrows I’ve ridden
I can vouch for this since Valleyfair is my home park
Also with the original knotts berry farm - Silverwood
my restraint didnt lock correctly and was one latch too loose on kong... it wasnt great.
RMC is my favorite manufacturer and my least favorite of the 12 I've been on is New Texas Giant. I felt the pacing was a bit off with this one. I know that is a comment about Joker as well, but I felt the elements on Joker were stronger. If Green Lantern still operated at SFMM that would be the worst Intamin by a wide margin. I was not a fan of LaVibora at SFOT. It was rough in a bad way. Vortex is the worst B&M for me. I see positives regarding Riddler's at SFMM and Georgia Scorcher at SFOG when I rode those, but Vortex wasn't good at all. And of the 32 arrow coasters I have been on, I actually have the Mini Mine Train ahead of 9 of them. I am one of those people that really doesn't like Corkscrew at Cedar Point. Great video. The series was really interesting.
So proud to have the worst S&S Coaster at my home park (Gardaland)
Huracan at Belantis is one of the roughest coasters I’ve ever been on. Even worse than some SLCs.
😅
Well green lantern will be the worst again soon because it’s being relocated at la Ronde
I love this channel been watching ever since I found it
Thank You!
Worst gerstlauer has to be the smiler. It’s honestly rougher than any slc I’ve been on and the restraints just suck.
The smiler is my favourite roller coaster ever
Wow, so you mean to tell me that I found a coaster enthusiast on RUclips that actually has LOGICAL picks for worst/best coasters? I didn't disagree with any of your picks, and judging from the comments, nobody did either. I might've changed Firebird to Galacitca/Air for B&M since it's really boring and I would've considered the 389m model for Gerstlauer, but outside of that, you nailed it. Great video!
hahah from what I can tell, i’m one of the few coaster youtube pages that features rides from literally everywhere in the world. I’d consider myself to be pretty well knowledged. Thanks for the support!
Shockwave at Drayton Manor is one of the worst Intamins imo especially if you’re a male
I probably would enjoy it. I like standup coasters!
For my opinion, the rc racer from paris has pretty cool airtime! I dont know why, but I love that ride. And I think the worst intamin coaster is cedar point's wilderness run.
Cool video!
that’s a kiddie coaster though; meant for a different audience so that can’t be fair. thanks for watching!
@@CoasterDash And its pretty old to, for 1979 Not bad
I haven’t been on a lot of gravity groups but my least favorite one is Wooden Coaster Fireball at my home park, it is one of their early creations and has gotten pretty rough recently, the layout has some hills that doesn’t give airtime and some pretty shaky turns.
that’s believable. when did you last ride it?
@@CoasterDash October 2020, also a lot of Chinese parks like to do one train operation, resulting in seriously long lines
Love these videos cant wait for his next upload
No, the worst Vekoma coasters aren't the SLC's. The worst one is Goudurix at Parc Asterix in France. A Vekoma custom looper from 1989 and their first computer designed coaster. It got "awarded" the "worst coaster in the world" award several times. Even Vekoma themselves admitted that they poorly built it. It is unbearably rough. Apart from that, people generally agree that the worst SLC is the very first one, El Condor at Walibi Holland.
I didn’t think of Goudurix but you’d probably be right!
@@CoasterDash Don't hesitate to watch one of the many POV's of Goudurix, the best example of its roughness is the start of the batwing, you can clearly see that it's the whole opposite of smooth
***WALL OF TEXT INCOMING***
Ok, lemme defend my home park SFA here: Firebird is actually pretty fun! Apocalypse was abysmal but I like Firebird. And Roar, when I went on it this past season, gave me some pretty good airtime and laterals. Imo Wildcat is the worst GCI because it was just so forceless. Heck, Lightning Racers is less forceful than Wildcat, but that is a dueling coaster. Now for something worse than Firebird, I haven't actually ridden Vortex, but Green Lantern at SFGAd liquified my legs and I just **hated** it. Now, none of this is to say that these aren't among the worse coasters in their lineups, because they still are, but they're just not as bad as others say they are. Also as a side note, Mind Eraser is not as bad as people make it out to be. It's fine if you just brace for the transitions that feel like they were made in RCT. Sorry for the mini-rant, I just felt like I had to express my opinions. I guess while I'm still typing I should also give my input for another placement for worst Intamin: Nearly any of the Zac Spins, or Skull Mountain at SFGAd. The Zac Spins I've heard are just **terrible** rides, and Skull Mountain just does nothing, except for the wicked pop of flowjector in the back seat on the first drop.
thank you for sharing your opinion. I read everything and I agree with some things and disagree with others, respectfully of course. I do appreciate you defending Six Flags America. that park has always appeared to be under appreciated to me.
You have the best outlook towards coasters
thanks man! 🙏🏻
Why is everyone hating on Shockwave at Drayton manor for!! It’s a good ride, the inversions are intense and it’s very smooth for its age. You just need to get the seat hight perfect. I would say Rita at Alton towers is worse (boring layout)
Runaway mountain is actually a lot of fun.
It looks like it!
Hellcat could’ve been a great coaster if maintained properly. It’s designed by Alan Schilke after all
Unpopular opinion: Magnum is a horrible coaster. I got off with a bad headache that lasted the rest of the day along with no airtime.
The worst Intamin coadter is Green Lantern now at LaRonda
I have to disagree with you on Firebird, Vortex is the absolute worst b&m coaster out there.
I disagree in that it’s a horrible ride. rather, I consider it to be severely overhyped by those to rank it within the top 3 or even 5 at Cedar Point. Also, Green Lantern/Vipère wasn’t considered because neither are currently operating. one is defunct and one is under construction.
4:28 ITS 100% MYSTERY MINE THAT THING IS A PEICE OF SHIT
Shockwave at Drayton manor may be the worst intamin it genuinely bruised his ribs
I enjoy standups so i’m not too sure
@@CoasterDash I know but I promise it’s worse than the b&m ones
WHY DIDN'T YOU THINK OF THAT BEFORE?? THE WORST INTAMIN IS TOO OBVIOUS!! Well I have a feeling it is; it's going to get re-tracked, but that can make rides better or worse, which a few of us know. It's Vipere at La Ronde, aka: Green Lantern: First Flight moved to Canada. If that isn't obvious, than neither is Golden Horse's idea of repeating other roller coaster concepts!!
first up, chill out. no one else is screaming at me for stating my opinion. also, I think you were too quick to comment. the video is about the worst operational roller coasters. neither green lantern first flight or vipère is operational. one is defunct and one is under construction. also, vipère will probably be a much better experience than glff because of its regulations in its country (similar to how Insane at Gröna Lund is seen as such an awesome ride)
@@CoasterDash Got it. I didn't mean to scream. You did say Green Lantern: First Flight and Flashback are gone and you weren't count them, which I respect. I'm pretty sure you didn't count the ones under construction. I just have a feeling Vipere will be one the most painful coasters ever built for it's relocation. Besides, I can never go wrong with a CoasterDash series.
Sorry! What I mean is that you didn't say you didn't count the roller coasters under construction.
Screaming squerrel coasters look fun
in the worst way possible, yes 😂
*Looks at comments*
Oh wow no one has complained about Skyrush yet.
I'm not saying Skyrush is bad but let's be honest, when the conversation about bad operational Intamins come up, there's always 10 comment chains arguing about the restraints, so that deserves a mention, even if the layout is great.
Coast Rider is 100 percent their worst coaster
“Several feet shorter” I was three feet, but now I’m six feet.
Hey man, great video! I have one totally unrelated question that I hope you can answer. When I was younger I rode pteranodon flyers at IOA, even though Rcdb lost it as a coaster, I’m not sure if I should count it as a credit or not.
Thank You! 🙏🏻
As for the question, I’d absolutely count zipline coasters. Not that i’ve ridden any, but also take into account that i’m a bit of a credit whore. I don’t count superloops, water flumes with airtime humps or extended disko’s. I do however count skyline attractions rides (Tidal Twister and Harley Quinn), water coasters with varying roller coaster portions, powered coasters, etc.
@@CoasterDash, thanks
@@CoasterDash, also I know this is stupid, but how about dr suess’s sky high trolley at IOA,it doesn’t have a rcdb page but it’s seems like it would just be a normal powered coaster?
Mystery mine is rough
Honestly Steamin' Demon at Great Escape is Arrow's worst coaster for sure. It's a dumpster fire
I completely forgot about that one. I think that could very well be the worst.
7:53 heheheh
Heheheheheh
*HEHEHEHEEHEHEHEHEHEh*
There is always a worst rollercoaster; There is a worst for everything. Even if the worst is still good so there is a worst RMC. In my opinion the raptor clones are the worst RMCs even if they are still good.
WWGLC is insane and isn’t even my personal least favorite. also, it was more hypothetical, not really literal.
Speaking of premier, did you ever get to ride Speed in Vegas?
Unfortunately, no :(
@@CoasterDash ah it was super fun. I was really sad to see it go
Steth at thorp Park as a boring layout and rita that alton towers has the nothing going for it is kinda just there the both intermin. Shock wave at dryton Manor of a intermin stand up that I found super uncomfortable. And for Gerstlauer saw at alton towers, and the radge at adventure Island are routh but the are both old and don't have a lot of money thrown at them. Then there the smiler that can't run is there is a breeze and somtime don't even complete the circuit. Thats why no merlin parks or uk theam parks seen to work with them is it not a clone or kiddi coster
Worst Gerstlauer: Smiler at Alton Towers(by at least 44 miles)
i’m doubtful 😅
What about Mystery Mine. I hesrd that it's really rough
@@dorth09 Mystery Mine is also "polarizing". Plus, Mystery Mine has small stats and has a talking vulture in the queue, and I like when company-made animals talk, if their voice fit with the animatronic. Mystery Mine is really themed, too, and it's kind of creepy. And it's at Dollywood, one of, in my opinion, the best theme parks in the world. I haven't been to Dollywood, but it's one of those parks I have to get to at a good time.
3:07😢
I actually know a good number of people that don't dislike SLCs
me too but the vast majority hates them. I personally don’t 🤷♂️
SLCs are *awful.* I don't understand how *anyone* can ride them.
chipped my tooth on kong
Bruh he keeps sikeing me out. Like I was about to start getting mad when you showed full throttle then you switched to runaway mountain. Like what XD
😂😂
I heard Mayan at energylandia is actually a really decent SLC.
I’ve heard so too! It looks fun.
It really is a good ride!
I have ridden T3 at Kentucky Kingdom and I don’t think it’s that bad
Honestly SLCs aren’t that bad, I think Boomerangs are worse(at least the ones with the old restraints)
I don’t hate either model honestly
I think some old gerstlauer bobsled coaster would be worse.
For intamin you could say American Eagle as that is an Intamin
American Eagle looks very enjoyable to me
@@CoasterDash it is but compared to the other Intamins I believe it to be the worst
Mystery Mine for worst Gerstlauer possibly?
I personally think Mystery Mine looks fantastic!
Ednor at laronde is horrible. It makes flight deck look okay.
good job six flags magic mountain you didn't make this list.
Oh man my balls hurt just thinking about Iron Wolf (Firebird's original name)
