  • I love roller coasters. This is why I visit amusement parks across the world. But every so often, I come across a roller coaster so bad that I never want to ride it again. Maybe it was boring. Maybe it was rough. Or maybe it was both. In this video, I count down the top 25 worst roller coasters I have ever ridden.

      Not sure they are an improvement. I didn't really mind the headbanging that much. They should have added the side bars like the ones they have at speed of sound. With just the vest restraines i was tossed around like a ragdoll. Kind of fun but totally unreridable did just 2 rides in it. Now if they add the bars so you can hold on to something to brace yourself it would actually be a fun coaster.

    • @tessabakker662
      @tessabakker662 Před rokem +1

      El Condor is a disaster and it needs to be put out of its' misery. Another AWFUL Vekoma SLC is *MP* *Xpress* at Movie Park Germany. Rickety, outdated, rough restraints with plenty of head-banging, and the elements are jammed so close together after a lousy first drop that you don't even pick up much speed.
      Its' immediate neighbor, MPG's Bandit (a classic Woodie) is *also* a rough ride owing to its' age and coaster type, but I found it an infinitely more enjoyable rollercoaster. It actually manages to move at a thrilling speed, and if you know how to anticipate on its' turns, you won't come away with bruises. The same cannot be said, in *any* measure, for MP Xpress. If you're anywhere but on the dead first row, you won't have a clue which elements are coming up next - and your braincase will be paying dearly for it.
      Bandit could be rescued by turning it into a steel-track hybrid, but MP Xpress just needs to be torn down. Judging by reviews of Movie Park Germany, management is unlikely to do *either;* most of their 'revamp' work on their coasters consists of a quick re-paint that starts flaking back off again within months, and these two rides aren't the only two we felt were facing neglect.

    I never had a problem with Coaster Express, so maybe I've been lucky, but it was still dull as hell so is a perfect candidate to be RMC'd anyway. The ones that come to mind for me are King (Foire du Trone - great layout but terrible trains), Bandit (Movie Park Germany - rough as hell) and MP Express at the same park which seemed particularly bad by SLC standards.

    • @CanobieCoaster
      @CanobieCoaster  Před 3 lety

      MP Express is probably the second or third worst SLC I've ridden. Bandit was bumpy, but it was too slow to cause pain for me.

    • @tessabakker662
      @tessabakker662 Před rokem

      I liked Bandit (although I am the only one out of our ride party of 3 who had a good time - the roughness is indeed very present and requires the rider to apply opposite force from where they are seated if bruising is to be avoided) but MP Xpress is a miscreant of the highest order, and we all unanimously agreed never to go near that abomination again. There are GREAT suspended coasters (Phantasialand's Black Mamba is my favourite suspended ride - is it any wonder that it's *not* a Vekoma? It's an Inverted Roller Coaster by Bolliger & Mabillard), but MP Xpress needs a total overhaul or sweet death.

    I 100% agree with the Vekoma Boomerangs with arrow trains, I specifically mean Boomerang at one of my home parks Six Flags st louis. I can't bare to understand how it makes sense for a coaster to be this bad. Literally, the amount of headbanging is horrendous and that second catch car lift which I call the death car lift hill is the worst part of the ride. You fly into your restraint like you are being launched backwards. Image a lift hill that stops but the closest anti rollback tooth is 2 feet behind the train.

    Six Flags Over Georgia used to have a wooden coaster called the Georgia Cyclone that would really beat you up. I thought my discomfort on the ride was just a sign of old age creeping up on me, but my teenage daughter also thought it was too rough. They did close the ride in 2017, replacing it with a steel coaster called the Twisted Cyclone, and I have to believe the switch was made to give a more pleasant ride experience.

    Last time I went to Canadas wonderland my group insisted we go on flight deck, despite me warning them about the notoriously rough ride, which was not helped by the hard restraints. When we reached the brake run, the entire train was just a symphony of "ow!" "omg my ears!" "shit that hurt.." so on so fourth. When we were leaving the ride, every single passenger had bright red ears from the friction against the plastic, and I had to go sit down in the shade because it had given me a bad headache. I'm probably never going to ride that awful thing again.

      If we're referring to the major non-knockoff (China) manufacturers, then I may actually agree with that. Most other manufacturers have gems, or positives. Pinfari made rough rides, but they are influential in helping popularise steel coasters (especially in small parks and in travelling fairs) and they also made a few innovations here and there. But RCCA made mostly airtimeless, rough, often poorly tracked and somewhat boring twisters that seem to have a helix fetish. Rattler was abysmal, the trackwork in it originally was pathetic and shameful. Just look at povs of the early ride, its awful.
      They also were a bit scummy, or so I've read. (once)

    I have to agree with you about Coast Rider at Knotts. It not only digs into your shins painfully but it jacks up your knees! At least it does for me. I have one bad knee (osteoarthritis) so my flexibility in that knee is limited. The shin guard was torture on my bad knee and when getting off it hurt just to get my bad knee to straighten out again. My Twisted Colossus has shin guards too but those don’t jack up my knees like Coast Rider does. And yes it’s a combo of that shin guard and it cramped that make it a bad ride

    I've never experienced pain on Carolina Goldrusher but it could be because I'm not a super tall guy or something idk. The thing about mine trains in general is you'll get shin/thigh pain if two really small kids are in the front of your car because a lot of them adjust to fit the first of the two to three rows in a car.
