Interesting quiz. Apparently this was based on the rankings on Captain Coaster. After just riding Ice Mountain Bobsleds and Big Timber Log Ride (not a credit for me) I’m shocked they would be in a list like this. Both were very unique fun rides with a lot of character in my opinion.
Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure at Universal Studios Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida, USA, North America, Earth, The Solar System, The Milky Way™
Sadly, my 2 worst rides are ones that are (technically) defunct: Primeval Whirl at Animal Kingdom and Twister 2 at Elitch's (The latter got a refresh...while the park was still trying to find a new site. Though, it's more of a Disneyland Space Mountain kind of refresh than a Top Thrill 2 kind of refresh, where it just got new trains and a retrofitted audio/visual package. Granted, I'm discounting Twister 3 a bit because I haven't been to Elitch's ever since this year). Though, I do remember that Elitch's Boomerang was considered to be one of the better ones of that model.
Completely disagree with Teddy Bear at Stricker’s Grove. It was my oldest daughter’s first wooden coaster and it got her hooked on roller coasters in general.
Tidal Wave looks pretty next to the ocean in Ocean City, MD, but it’s one of the earliest boomerangs and still has the old restraints. They have tried to care for it, but since it’s right next to the ocean, it’s definitely showing its age.
Flight of fear at KI is not that bad. I rode it this year for the first time so maybe it used to be worse, but I enjoyed it way more than I thought I would.
Ice Mountain Bobsleds really isn't that bad. It is nice way to introduce kids to some bigger coasters. I remember riding it once as kid and even though I was scared as hell to ride it at first, I ended up enjoying by the end. Looping Thunder, a defunct Pinfari Zyklon ZL42 model, at Oaks Amusement Park was much worse. That ride was so rough and painful that my shoulders hurt for 5 days my visit to the park. The discomfort and headbanging I got from both Viper and Green Lantern: First Flight (may this ride Rust In Pieces) at Magic Mountain were more enjoyable than the pain I got from that ride.
Solid, think firebird, big apple, hurricane fun spot atlanta (worst transitions I’ve ever experienced, solid airtime tho), honestly mine blower after the rmc refurb is horrendous going from one track type to another, Pegasus, le monster, hurler should 100% be on here
Got 25/50. Seems not great, but I ended up getting basically every coaster I would've been able to, so that's a win for me lol. Also Dahlonega Mine Train is fun imo, but I can see why people don't like it... Also, Swamp Thing isn't that bad. Just rode it last year and it's not much of a "bang" like others I've ridden. Also, I need to catch up on Airtime Thrills videos...
Soaring Eagle was pure pain for me. Granted I was having some SI joint problems and it was my last day of a 15 day coaster trip. So maybe going again sometime when I'm in better joint shape I'll have a different opinion.
Shots fired!! Haha, the Timber Wolf is legit tho, not nearly as good as it use to be before they changed its layout and added trims, but it's still a solid little wooden coaster.
Can you imagine to be a ride operator of these rides and are required (as part of the opening procedures) to ride any of these rides..... I can imagine, because I used to be an operator at Flying School. I've ridden that ride too many times, and I'm definitely not mourning it's removal.
I can think of at least a dozen coasters I've been on that are worse than Teddy Bear. That doesn't deserve to be here. The 90s Vekomas can stay though.
The Flight of Fear clones are good rides. They both rank top 5 for me from their respective parks. It may just be because they’re air conditioned. Lol. Who knows
I liked FoF even when they had the awful OTSRs (though I probably wouldn't like it these days if it still had them). Fun launch, good atmosphere, good theming. Awful capacity.
Spoilers for the end of the video. Wow Tidal wave! Probably the first time I've seen it even mentioned in a video like this. For context, this ride is in Ocean City on the boardwalk, and while I've never been on it (can't really handle most roller coasters), my mom has and she got a real migraine on it. Total headbanger of a coaster, from what i remember you could almost feel the shakiness even off of the ride. Cool to see it here nether the less
I don't know what's funnier: Swamp Thing being on there without Twisted Typhoon and Boomerang (in spite of basically every other SLC and Boomerang being on there), or you forgetting that Wild Adventures existed.
I’m surprised no Vegas area coasters are on here. A lot of people report a terrible experience on the New York, New York casino one, and Desperado at Buffalo Bill’s hotel and casino has gotten to be a rough ride over the years Not sure if it will ever open again.
Rode Cliffhanger earlier this year and it wasn’t at all a bad ride. Definitely very jank, but not rough or uncomfortable. Defiance had more head banging
Big Apple should be here. I am a big person and knew all the stories but I can take the pain with over 500 credits. New trains they said its not too bad they said. The first drop gave me air time in the middle of the train, then slam at the bottom of the first drop the base of my back slammed against the strangely designed seats. I though my back snapped it was super harsh and I knew I had the rest to go through. I love Arrow and Vekoma jank but the seats were so bad, I think I would rather the old trains and take the punches tbh. Perhaps I caught it on a bad day but I was gutted.
After I typed in Hurler, Green Lantern, Gotham City Gauntlet, Hurricane and none of them came up I just stopped because my list is obviously nowhere close to this one
OK, the one of these I've ridden is Zoomerang at Compounce, and it honestly does not deserve to be on a worst-coasters-ever list. It's a Boomerang and it's not that rough. The worst you could say is that it's unremarkable.
Who ever this guy is, really hates vekoma boomerangs, slc's, and arrow loopers. But mostly a hatred of boomerangs, and even though I only rode one boomerang at knott's berry farm, I think that all these coasters are a solid 10/10 in my eyes
I get why the Boomerangs were cloned as heavily as they were too, thanks to the novelty of the ride (3 inversions on a relatively small plot of land and smaller budget, but that's my inner tycoon talking).
@@TheLomdr And since it's a shuttle coaster, you could advertise it as giving you 6 inversions, three of them backwards. The modern equivalent would be something like a Sky Rocket II or one of the small Eurofighters. It doesn't take up a lot of land, is less expensive than a lot of rides, and to the general public the ride format has a fair bit of novelty. Good value for money. But Boomerangs are not the smoothest rides and to enthusiasts they're overly familiar.
@@MattMcIrvin Yeah, they're a bit too prolific for their own good. Though, we are getting a new take on the boomerang with the Super Boomerang model from Vekoma themselves that's going to Great Adventure, IIRC
Of all the bad clones on this list, I swear the creator probably forgot Six Flags America even existed. Though there’s definitely some questionable choices on this list. Somebody just hates Vekoma.
As a happily ex-Californian, I kept looking for Great America's Willard's Whizzer or Grizzly, and Magic Mountain's Flashback. The Great America two were just plain boring, and the Magic Mountain one was strange and painful. And I admit, on the Ohio listings, I kept saying "Son Of Beast!" Oh well...
This guy really hates Vekoma lol I certainly enjoyed Tidal Wave in Maryland. Must be biased against all Boomerangs. Some of these other ones are puzzling, like the Oregon log ride? Really? And maybe it's my own bias, but no Arrow belongs on this list either. I scored 37/50 and it would have been a lot lower had I not figured out the Vekoma thing.
This guy keeps picking on Canada's Wonderland. Tell that to the little girl that rode that back of Flight Deck with me as was her mom's plea, although I admit it's a pretty bad ride, but not as bad as Time Warp or Great Canadian Minebuster. Also: I could be wrong, so please correct me if I am, but I believe Zamperla owns Deno's Wonderwheel, NOT Coney Island. Also: While Zampera Volare coasters are bad: the one at Canada's Wonderalnd is worse than Deno's Wonder wheel. Like I said: I could be wrong about Zamperla owning Deno's Wonderwheel and not Coney Island. If I am, please let m know. Thanks for posting!
@@AirtimeThrills I need to do more research on that: All I know is that there are two parks there and one is in the middle of the bigger one that owns The Cyclone which is now my favourite wooden coaster I've ridden since El Toro was rough when I rode it the same year (last year) and Coaster at Playland now has seatbelts. BTW Ghostrider comes in 2nd.
I wiuld do horrible on this, i have a horrible memory when it comes to remembering a rollercoaster and the park its in, i get KD and KI confused all the time lmao.
I won't go out of my way to praise any Boomerang, but they aren't exactly awful rides. SLCs? Yeah, those are crap. The Boomerangs, with the right restraints, aren't awful. Just repetitive.
Last time I rode the bat in 2019, it wasn't that bad... *To be honest, I was young* I may have to see how bad it actually is. I'm fact, according to what people say, I may like it less than Goofy's Sky School at Disney... Who knows. Also, I agree that Corkscrew at Silverwood doesn't deserve to be on there.
