"what's your most painful roller coaster?"
rmc: "who?"
b&m: "what's that?"
intamin: "did you say something?"
vekoma and togo: *yes*
dyed shirt a lot of vekomas and togos are smooth and painless
Vekoma and Togo don't entirely deserve their reputation. Japanese Togos are actually pretty good, it's their export models that are excessively rough and I have no clue why that is. As for Vekoma, it's the SLC's fault that they have such a bad reputation.
@@VestedUTuber nah alot of Vekoma's coaster are painful
Arrow loopers
@@dyates1725
_Early_ Arrow loopers. Late-model Arrows like Tennessee Tornado are actually pretty smooth.
"Ok let's get to the big manufacturers."
B&M: Am I a joke to you?
"Let's talk about more painful woodies."
... sorry I spat my beer.
That didn't sound right...
SAME
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Excuse me, this is a family show!
😄
He mentioned basically every single roller coaster in Las Vegas except for canyon blaster at the adventuredome. Which is one of the most painful rides I’ve ever been on! It’s probably because i am only 5’4.
I think Canyon Blaster is actually pretty good! And wild
How'd Canyon Blaster cause pain? Bad day probably 😅
Airtime Thrills Yeah and I already had a headache going from the second Loop to the turn hurt
I liked it although it gave me a headache
Canyon Blaster was my first loop coaster and I think I went on it 10 times in a row lol
"Let's talk about another smooth steel manufacturer; Gerstlauer"
*Laughs in Saw - The Ride at Thorpe Park, UK*
I want some of these coasterchannels to go to Europe and Asia for a change. Some variation would be interesting.
@@mennograafmans1595 a smaller coaster channel, eltororyan, went to Japan and discusses them and is looking to go to Europe. His videos are pretty good.
And the back row seats on the Smiler 😅 I had a bruised ear after my first ride, but thankfully it seems to be getting better with age
Dont forget speed and the smiler
@@whimsicalclouds bruised ears are a staple of riding The Smiler 😂
After all these years riding coasters I’ve still yet to feel the B&M “rattle” as even slightly uncomfortable.
Yeah if scream is the worst, they don’t have a problem because it’s smooth as glass every time I ride it. It’s still a kinda boring ride though
Agreed
vortex at carowinds
i love the rattle tbh. its character to me. i mean sheesh. its a big ass roller coaster.
Some of them don't even last long
Watching this make me realize I'm on the wrong channel since i didn't understand half the terminology. However i greatly enjoyed the video. Keep up the great work. You give me a glimpse of what the world of Rollercoaster enthusiasts looks like.
14:38 Kinda insane how one impatient little kid got their foot mauled due to their own mistake, has now caused that ride to be a utterly painful experience for everyone else who rides it
Gtccoasters That sounds really unfortunate 😭 some people really gotta ruin the fun for others huh? I know it was just a kid but damn....... this is taking safety a bit too far, I understand the park has good intent but I absolutely loathe shin guards so I can only imagine how painful it must be now
Don't forget the Intamin hyper coasters also had shin guards put on them do to the overweight guy falling out at SFDL (which SFDL got a new train for it and without the guards!)
@@markvolpe2305 Im a light guy but those shin guards are the worst. i haven't rode skyrush but there pretty uncomfortable at sfne i imagine skyrush to be even worse.
Yup
Exactly. It's my 3rd least favourite coaster only because of that
Dear Cedar Fair: please replace Time Warp with literally anything else.
A weed filled gravel plot would be preferable to time warp
I think you would consider Manhattan Express to be better than Time Warp.
They should replace it for las vegas big apple 🍎 coaster! Lol. Who agrees with me
I would take a new age Vekoma
TIME WARP 2
My niece dragged me on Predator last Sunday (I usually refuse to go on that) only if we rode near the front of the train, and I was surprised how good it ran and actually had airtime on it, also the New section of Titan track was glass smooth! Now if Six Flags does the rest of the coaster with Titan track, it would be a great coaster again.
I'm glad you mentioned the wooden coasters at Holiday World! They are awesome coasters for a park like that but you will get a little bruised experiencing the fun on a couple of them.
I think vortex at Carowinds is the toughest B&M
Gets to GCI: "Well, it's got to be Wildcat...unless he says Roar...yup, there ya go."
Roar is so rough! I rode it twice thinking I could get airtime. Nope just my leg workout for the next few days. I had to brace myself with my legs and engage my abs to hold myself steady. Same on Wild One.
Roar is a joke when Wild One is right there.
SiebayRoo true.
Roar was fine for me....
Man, The Legend is so painful that it feels good to me. I literally couldn't breathe towards the end and I wanna do it again lmao.
In 1988, at a mere 4 years old, I rode Shockwave at (Six Flags Over Texas) for the first time (back in the 80s the height restrictions were rarely, if ever, adhered to. Additionally, my mom was made to pay an adult ticket for me, which she later argued had made me eligible to ride). It was my first coaster and the one that made me fall in love! A short two years later (1990) I rode the Texas Giant. Nearly died. I was so small -in age and size- that the lap bar didn't even touch my legs. After the first drop while ascending the second hill, I went airborne, literally. Had my mom not quickly reacted and jerked me down, Lord knows what might have happened. Turns out, the rest of the ride was more likely to kill me from a neck-breaking whiplash than my superman trick...talk about painful. I've not rode it since it was re-done.
Thank you so much for all the support of my channel and the feature!!! Airtime Thrills does so much for the community make sure you share his channel always great content with so much info. I’m at work so I haven’t got a chance to watch the entire video but I couldn’t resist skimming scared that Skyrush would make this list. Thought I was safe and there it was...if you ever give it another chance give me a heads up. I’ll make the drive down. One of my favorites all time. I always respect an honest opinion tho. Thanks again!!!
You both are class acts, no surprise that you appreciate each other.
I live only an hour and a half drive from Hersheypark and need to get back when Candymonium and Chocolatetown open!
Look at that. I'm late to the party, but the G.O.A.T of roller coaster video quality is in the building
When the video started playing I looked at who made it, I swear it said airtime thrills
Me to
Same
Omg me to
declan .c :O you to
declan .c :O you to
I laughed when I saw Steel Eel in the intro! I just rode that a couple days ago and agree with what you said about it -- even though I find the rough valleying to be a bit more bothersome than you seem to. And it seemed to happen after every hill when I rode it! Each time I rode it, though, I rode towards the back, so that very well may have been an influence towards my experience.
The coaster DOES have good airtime, though! That first drop, especially, is surprisingly good!!
Most painful wooden coaster I’ve been on is definitely Wildcat at Hersey Park.
1 ride on it was more than enough
I must’ve ridden Scream on a real good day. I rode front row and it’s in my top 30. Everybody I talk to seems to hate the ride but I personally thought it was one of the better B&M’s I’ve ridden, especially because of the amazing zero g roll.
I agree. We love scream. I didn't find it rough at all.
Coaster Limits i agree, i ride scream on every visit to six flags and imo it’s getting better every time, it’s very smooth, i love all the b&m’s at magic mountain, but riddler is getting rough, still a good ride though
I would say the most painful ride I’ve been on by B&M is Vortex at Carowinds. That was a god awful ride. I didn’t like Riddler’s Revenge either, but Georgia Scorcher is the best stand up imo.
I found it super smooth. Surprised to see it on here
@@coreygrimes9166 ridder overrated asf ive been on it 3 times its pure trash my legs hurt after riding it and then i cant walk for the rest of the day
Me: sees what he has as the most painful intamin
Also Me: *unintelligible screaming*
Skyrush Fanboy exactly. Isn't even bad. Nice name. I agree with that statement
So you want a Shoulder restraint?
Skyrush restraints seriously suck. No, they do not hurt every single time.
My first painful experience started fine. I didn't think anything was wrong at the station. By the time we got to the top of drop hill I knew this was going to be painful. This was at night, so I didn't know when the next turn was coming. Every motion simply increased the pain and reduced my blood flow. When the ride ended I stumbled off the ride because my entire right leg was completely numb.
I am not exaggerating. The ride staff did not blink either, so I believe this is way more common than it should ever be.
@PureAwkwardness No. That would kill the airtime on Skyrush.
cant be worse than goliaths walabi holland megacoaster latbar, its the metal seatbelt latches, inbetween, but the latbar, hydrolic just locks, being pushed cheked at the station by staff.
I’ve gotta say, comet is one of the smoothest “classic” woodies out there. It’s super smooth and you get a LOT of airtime on the hills. Great coaster for enthusiasts young and old. Try to catch a night ride, it’s spectacular!!!
One of my top five Coaster channels on the whole of CZcams thanks for the great content my friend.
Flight of Fear at Kings Dominion back in the day when it still had OTSR. The final inversions before the brake run caused the most violent head banging I have ever experienced.
I rode FoF at KI for the first time over last summer, and ride attendants were assigning seats and my sister and I got the back row. Usually not a bad thing, but you would have thought I was on Vortex with the amount of headbanging I experienced, even while keeping my head back for the launch. And strangely enough, my one ride on Vortex had no headbanging AFAIK.
Dude, YES. My worst-ever experience on a coaster. Beat me up so badly, I had to leave without riding anything else.
I've only ridden it with lap bars and I thought it was smooth.
Cube Control The lap bars greatly improved the ride experience. It was a totally different beast when it first opened.
@@slaughteredwolf Not sure what restraints it had but I rode it quite a few times over a 1 week period and it was fine every time... about 10+ years ago
Before even watching: I just discovered okcoasters and the scripts to his videos are very artistic. I love the passion he brings to the coaster enthusiast community.
I haven't found many others who feel this way, but my most painful experience from B&M is the bottom of pretzel rolls. I love flying coasters in almost every other way, but at the bottom of the pretzel roll I always get this dull pain from getting flattened by the positive Gs.
“Thighcrush”
Yep that pretty much sums it up
My most painful moments:
-marathoning Millennium Force in heavy rain at night. Looked amazing going up the lift hill against the lights of the ride and then it felt like being stung by 1000 bees the rest of the ride. Still did it four times though.
-riding Steel Vengeance behind a lady with really long hair and getting whipped in the face the entire ride
-on the Beast when we entered the last tunnel for the first time and that turn comes, my friend’s head smashed into my shoulder. I now brace myself every time we start tearing down that hill.
I rode Millennium Force in a violent thunderstorm (our train was the last one out) and holy hell did it hurt
I rode I305 in the pouring rain and my face was bright red afterwards, it hurt so freaking bad 😂
Well, some things you do to yourself! You can't go that fast in the rain and not have it hurt! I did one ride like that on Magnum and could barely open my eyes. My most memorable was waiting for first car on Millennium and getting on around sunset when all the Lake Erie bugs start swarming. It wasn't painful...suspiciously so....until we exited the ride and I had to pick numerous pieces of bug guts off my partners face. We went this last weekend and I was SO ok with wearing a mask!
The first time I rode the beast, I was young and probably around 4 foot. I was trying to be brave and hold my hands up when we hit the helixes and I smashed my cheek right into the side of the train and got some light whiplash and a good headache before declaring it THE BEST!
I rode top thrill dragster when it was drizzling, and I regret that. I still don’t know how it was opened during that.
I rode Millennium Force back in 2018, and flew right into a swarm of gnats. I went from screaming "woo hoo" to spitting and gagging.
I'm sitting and watching this and waiting for Intamin and I was like, "It's gonna be Skyrush" and surprise surprise I was right.
I got all happy when you mentioned Morgan 🤣 I’m from Minnesota and it’s really cool how their first rollercoaster is Wild Thing in Valleyfair! ❤
I love your channel bro thanks for the work you do
Vekoma: you now what they say about our coasters
“It’s all fun and pain”
I immediately thought of Taylor getting thrown into the trash can by mr Vekoma lol
@@SkyrushFanboy lmao same
Unless it’s Expedition Everest
@@Howlingburd19 yep
it shows how rough arrow and vekoma coasters are that Ninja at SFSL wasn't on this list
I'm a wood coaster and traditional amusement park guy, but some steel coasters I like. Thank you for giving Shock Wave some much-needed love! This 42 year-old Schwartzkopf is smooth as glass and one of the most intense and thrilling steelies among the 300+ I've ridden. The airtime is unreal and, yes, the single lap bar can cause discomfort on it's powerful hills. Master Anton knew how to get it right.
I don't even bother riding Vekoma SLCs anymore, even if I don't have the credit. They're too miserable. However, I was shocked at a Vekoma loop/corkscrew at Beijing Amusement Park, China because it was actually smooth. Same with free spins. One and done...I rode the one at SFOT and decided never again, I don't even want them on my list.
I discovered okaycoasters about a month ago, and totally agree he - and you - produce some of the best coaster content period. ☺️
My first go on Rip Ride Rocket was one of my most painful coaster experiences ever. My daughter loved it and forced me to go again. Then I discovered the trick is to force my head forwards and anticipate the turns and I quite enjoyed it from then on...
That's what I'm sayin
I’m very surprised on how rough you find Roar. It definitely shakes a bit, but I find it still a great ride and hop on a couple times every visit (SFA is my home park)
Great American Scream Machine may be rough it but it will always be one of my favorites. I never found it too rough to bear, but the experience with the buzz bars was honestly insane with a ride that unpredictable. The former cyclone trains really don't do it justice
I have chronic migraines, so being able to ride the roller coasters with head banging and STILL have fun is a blessing. Those head banging add little to nothing since I already have my head aching prior, so I learned to simply enjoy the rides even if my head is about to explode. This will trigger a bunch of enthusiasts, but i had fun at my one ride at the Manhattan express in Vegas (or whatever it is called).
The roughest arrow of all time is Steel Phanrom. When you came down the first drop you instantly started the head banging. It became so intense of head bang in loops after second drop you prayed for death
Aww, I was so sure you were gonna open with “Why do we ride Coaster’s, just to suffer?”
For Maurer, a very rough back-row ride on Spinball Whizzer; at Alton Towers, on July 3rd, left me with a bit of unexpected pain in my upper-legs and lower-stomach!
Love seeing okaycoasters at the beginning. One of my favorite coaster you tubers
If Mean Streak isnt on here as atleast a cliffnote I will riot.
Had a migrane after riding that thing and coasters people call *rough I generally find to be fine.
I definitely think Predator is wayyy worse than Mean Streak. My 2016 Mean Streak ride was bumpy but not painful
I agree spider I live near cedar point and been riding the mean streak since it came out back in the day it was always a bumpy and rough ride
Major props for so enthusiastically endorsing a fellow coaster content creator. Recently discovered his work and it is indeed excellent. Great video overall as always, Airtime Thrills. I agreed with much of your analysis. For those looking to check out okaycoasters for the first time should look up his video on Iron Gwazi. It will get you freaking siked for Busch Gardens Tampa as a whole.
Just subscribed! I have had emotional roller coaster rides only very few times in my life.
Arrow and Vekoma: *Nervous sweats*
Yeah Silverwood has both the old arror corkscrew prototype from Knotts and the aftershock boomerang from vecoma. I actually found aftershock smooth compared to corkscrew banging my head
OkayCoasters is amazing! His content is unbelievable considering he had under 10k subs!
Yes I’ve been watching okay coasters. Seriously underrated
I agree that the restraints on Gatekeeper can make it hard to breathe, especially when trying to take a deep breath. Magnum's lap bars were painful on the thighs when going over the bunny hops, though I didn't notice that so much last year when they put extra padding on the bars. The pretzel turn, however, shook my head so much I got a headache. And when I rode the Vortex at Kings Island, going down the first drop my head got slammed into the restraint so hard I had an intermittent headache for the rest of the day, so I don't even remember much else about my visit (other than a vague recollection of riding Son of Beast when it still had the loop). Not surprisingly, I wasn't sad to see Vortex go.
15:03 I ABSOLUTELY LOST IT when he said "Skyline."
okaycoaster + Airtime Thrills for a full video would be the collab of the century
TheRandom ikr
I will forever believe Magnum is the most painful Arrow. No where else in the world can you ride a rollercoaster that feels like you are constantly traveling over speed bumps
Yeah, it’s not very good
It’s 50/50 for me.
Just rode The Scream machine at SFOG for the first time in eighteen years last weekend. It is borderline unrideable in the back right now. I literally have bruises from it. Took three rides on it (front, back, middle). I remember crying in line for it when I first rode it as a four year old in 1982, because it was massive and I was scared. I remember crying in line for it at 42 years old last weekend for my third ride through because I knew it was going to hurt me more, lol. I hope by all that is good they retrack that thing completely for it's 50-year in 2023.
P.S. Honorable mention to Blue Hawk in it's former life as Ninja before they put the new trains on it several years ago. It USED to be the roughest ride in the park and that is saying something considering it was next door to the Scream Machine. Now it is an absolute joy to ride over and over.
Okaycoasters & Airtime together?!? Damn man, the two GOATS, I'd love to catch a coaster train with you two maniacs sometime! 👍🤘🎢
0:19 Dude I was literally about to comment, "dang this sounds like an OkayCoasters video" lol
Most painful coaster I have been on: Flight of the Hippogriff at Universal Studios Hollywood (manufactured by MACK Rides)
Reason: the same reason Airtime Thrills gave to Knotts' Coast Rider- THOSE DAMN SHIN GAURDS!
New fan of your videos as I've spent quarantine getting back into all the coaster things. And I have to say, I usually agree with most of your opinions.
This list really cracked me up. You are fairly tall? And skinny! I'm 5 foot 4 and a bit pudgey and my partner is similar. While I haven't ridden nearly as many coasters as you, I'm from Ohio and I have some crazy contrasts.
Vortex, rode it at a young age when I was just tall enough and it scared me off of looping coasters for years. I rode it a few years ago and it was 100% terrible and painful still as no amount of attempting to hold your head still will help the head shaking pain of being short.
On the other hand (and I have others that have agreed), Gatekeeper is the smoothest, comfiest thing I've EVER been on! That and Valravn have the comfiest overhead restraints ever! Absolutely LOVE them!
As for woodies, a GOOD woodie should beat the shit out of you in a GOOD way which is why I value the Beast more than many and Mystic Timbers is just SO SO good.
As for Arrow overall, oof I do not like them especially with inversions. But Magnum was the coaster that started my obsession and this last weekend, I got a ride in about 20 years later. It's certainly gotten rougher over the years but it was 55 degrees this past weekend. Don't know if that affected the ride but it was the smoothest ride ever and we were randomly assigned front car (no choice with Covid). Yes, the bunny hops still hurt in the best ways possible but it's still the most perfect out and back I've ever met.
And I scored one ride on Steel Vengeance. I can't give a full opinion because it blew my mind but no rerides were available. My ONLY complaint was the restraints. If you have any semblance of a stomach roll, that lap bar is in this awkward position that fights it the whole way, tugging it up! Tugging it DOWN....can't I just have those beautiful Millennium lap bars?
That was entertaining. Thanks!
Interesting, Scream at SFMM was very smooth for me when I was there in 2018; really loved that ride for being a parking lot coaster. Figured you might’ve gone with one of the stand-ups as roughest for B&M
Scream can be hit or miss, probably depending on the seat
16:00 you have officially pissed of every coaster enthusiast on this great planet
Some fanboys could be REALLY frustrated...
Jk he’s one of the greatest coaster channels on this website👍
Skyrush Fanboy I agree
Sorry, but I agree, Skyrush is AWFUL. I wanted to love this coaster but I just HATE IT. And Hershey is my home park. 🙁
@@mkmartin559 I’m jealous my home park is Canada’s wonderland lol
I never thought Vortex at King's Island was uncomfortable. Used to ride it nonstop when there was no line. Was one of my favorites back in the day.
Awesome video, the roughest coaster that I have ridden to date has been Mystery Mine at Dollywood!!!
I swear you have the best series to ever exist!
Steel eel at sea world from Morgan is one of my favorites
Nevada resident here, I love that 3 out of our 4 adult coasters in the entire state were on this list 😂
This is what happens when your coaster boom comes in the 90s lol
@@AirtimeThrills lol true but even then, El Loco, our newest coaster (2014) just didn’t really stand a chance compared to other s&s coasters.
Hi Chris, I've been binge watching a lot of your videos the past few days and love them. In my quarantined stupor, I've decided if I make it out I want to go to more amusement parks and tap into my childhood dream of being a "coaster enthusiast". It all started with an obsession with Roller Coaster Tycoon as a kid, and a trip to Cedar Point when I was 13 :)
I noticed you mentioned Mamba at Worlds of Fun, and that's where I live! When do you plan on visiting??
When you mention Dinn
Me now getting flashbacks to their most painful coaster
I’m guessing Mean Streak (before becoming Steel Vengeance)
@@Metalhead_Coaster_Fan or Texas Giant towards the end of life
Traindude70 Trust me. You haven’t felt true pain until you ride Predator. That thing has given me substantial bruises
Schmippy Scrahahooie Predator: Ride of Pain
I want Skyrush to get B&M clamshells
Duuuude
ikr
I want buzzbars lol
Best thing ever!!!!!
@@florianmartin75 damn bro u got a death wish
The funny thing about Outlaw Run is that I find the shakiness actually contributes to the experience when you learn about the ride’s story
I was terrified of coasters for most of my life and only started riding them a few years ago. Skyrush was my fifth ever coaster and it nearly put me off of coasters immediately after getting back into them. Glad to know I wasn't being a pissbaby and it actually does suck to others too lmao
“That’s the price you gotta pay for good ejector,” he says right after complaining about how Skyrush’s ejector hurts
The slight discomfort from the RMC OTSR doesnt compare to the thigh crushing
The most painful coaster I’ve done is grand National at Blackpool Pleasure Beach, I sat in the middle of the train, I came off and I genuinely thought I had died it was that rough, the first drop is horrible as well it’s a double down but it happens right at the very bottom and with the bad restraints it bruised my thigh
McScottish how many coasters have you been on?
Coaster Countdowns I’m just really starting actually riding them so at the moment 19 but I do design coasters on no limits so yeah 😅
Nash is a lot smoother if you sit on a non wheel seat. ie in the middle of each car/carriage
McScottish Fair enough, did you not think that Infusion was more rough?
Coaster Countdowns when I was at Blackpool I couldn’t build up the courage to ride infusion but I did blue Flyer, Nickelodeon streak, grand National, avalanche, revolution, steeplechase, Big Dipper and icon but now I’ve also done galactica, wicker man and nemesis at Alton towers
I was planning to go to Energylandia in Poland this april.
Well. Nope.
I want to ride a coaster so badly but I'll probably stay at home for the next weeks/months.
All from second-hand batsoup.
Thanks Obama
Did you mamage by now? I've added my first RMC to my list this year (untamed), despite covid.
Top 3.
1. Voyage
2. Skyrush
3. Legend
How have we had such different experiences on these rides? The aren’t rough. They are all fantastic rides.
Vekoma's most painful coaster has to be Thunder Coaster in Tusenfryd, Norway. Like for real. It's a torture device made of wood!
Intamin: I can be your angle (El Toro) or yuor Devil (Skyrush). God I despise Skyrush, my only personal one and done modern Intamin.
The B&M wing coaster at thorpe park England (the swarm) has the same vest restraints but seem to be quite comfortable and still allow for a reasonable amount of movement.
The first rollercoaster I ever rode was the Legand at Holidayworld.... thought I would never want to ride one again until I was drug onto the Raven, thats the one that made me realize my love for rollercoasters.
I think the most painful Premier Rides coaster might actually be Runaway Mountain at Six Flags: Over Texas. The lap bars on this thing are fantastic in theory but kinda wretched in practice. If you take an element at an awkward angle, then you can prepare to have the heavy restraint absolutely demolish your rib cage
If your male, the brakes at the end can hurt too apparently. (I wouldn't know...) Might be location specific in the train. Or that may have been a bad day because the guy I'm thinking of never had a problem before.
Mamba is pretty smooth, except there’s a hard lateral right before the final brake run.
Great video, thanks. I agree and/or respect all your choices but I can’t agree with you on Mine Blower. Rode it 3 times straight, front and back and thought it was butter smooth every time. Definitely one of my all time favorite coasters! But I do hear other people complain about it, which makes me wonder if it’s temperamental.
I definitely agree about WIldcat and ROAR, those are probably the primary two reasons I am usually quite hesitant to ride most woodies in general. Likewise for the Zamperla Volare. The one I've been on is Soaring Eagle at Coney Island and as a smaller framed person, I flew around in the restraint so much that it actually aggravated the shoulder injury I had at the time. Don't even get me started on Skyrush. That ride takes the cake for painful coasters!
I don't know who manufactured it, but the Grizzly at Kings Dominion is a real neck breaker.
Just got my ride in. 4 days later and I've still got a kink in my neck and left shoulder
Taft Broadcasting Conpany built. No idea wtf they are
omg yes!!!! Roughest rollercoaster I have been on.
no wonder it’s rough, it was made by a damn broadcasting company
Ha! Just today I was joking on another channel that they should do a collab with okaycoasters (because they were doing a video about “okay coasters”), and then here you go and actually do it.
Haha yeah I saw that
2:07. I have had that exact experience courtesy the 2019 kiwanis ralley. Considering the hornet themed ride the raindrops stinging your face was especially appropriate
maybe an honorable mention for arrow could be the matterhorn. I know it's the oldest arrow and it's a great ride but in the back row it REALLY bangs you up
On sky rush I was in the back row and it got stuck on the brake run for 15 minutes. I could barley walk after
Well now they release the lapbar once the train stops on the brake run so that won't happen
I actually don't find Magnum or American Eagle to be that bad, especially the more I ride them. X-Flight restraints totally kill the ride - I like the layout better than Gatekeeper but the vest tightening on X-Flight puts it well below Gatekeeper for me.
I really thought I was the only one with that issue considering I barely weigh anything. I love the ride itself but the restraints prevent me from wanting to ride it ever. I just don't ride it lol
Great video
When you ride Hades 360 get the front 2 rows. 3 and 4 are ok. Anything behind that is excruciatingly painful. I rode in row six and was crying afterwards because of how much back pain I had, and I'm a healthy 18 year old. It took me a solid minute to be able to even walk off the platform
The legend needs to be RMC’d badly. It hardly operates when I’m there and only ride it about once every time I go. With a RMC treatment, it could be much more reliable and better.
Ka breaks down every other millisecond
At minimum its like half a dozen times a day😂😂😂 i swear 90% of the time i approach the entrance they are closing off the line. Sometimes it breaks down multiple times before I can even get on. Still worth the wait though. That launch and drop are awesome.
I’d say American Eagle is the perfect amount of roughness. The 3 roughest I’ve ever ridden were all at Cedar Point: Mean Streak (duh), Magnum (major thigh bruising), and Maverick (idk why but I got stapled in so hard that I was in pain for what should’ve been a good ride. It was sad and I think I need to go back and reride).
I definitely agree with your PTC choice. Great American Scream Machine is at my (current) home park and I honestly only ride it if my twin brother wants to because he is a rollercoaster junkie but with his autism, he has to have someone ride with him and with those trains, I'm the obvious choice to do so size wise. What hurts the most is the final brake run that slams you into the restraints and if you're in the middle or towards the back you're still in a final airtime moment so you're slammed diagonally down not just horizontally.
I never really found roughness or a rattle on Scream
it's the only ride i wont go on at Six Flags Magic Mountain because it hurts and I'm not that young anymore.
