Top 10 WORST Roller Coasters on Earth 🎢👎🤕 

PLEASE NOTE: The Adam Sandler comment does NOT include Uncut Gems. Great movie; I highly recommend it.

It always saddens me when a theme park has no theme on its rides. That warehouse interior of the first ride hurt my soul a little. I feel incredibly lucky to live less than an hour from Alton Towers.

New fave quote : “if you ever wanted to be attacked by an actual ninja, chances are you’ll enjoy this “

Ride: *is failing* Also ride: *L E T S A D D V R*

"it will pillage your vertebrae and leave you begging for less" I'm ROLLING

When the excitement rating is 0 and the intensity is 15.

"If you've ever wanted to be assaulted by an actual ninja, chances are, you'll enjoy this coaster." LMAO

I wonder how many people had big WTF moments when they entered the warehouse part of that first one.

The first one is so depressing in the inside💀

"It goes to show that even when a coaster is a lemon, some riders can still make lemonade out of it." That was both a devastating roast and a heartfelt compliment.

My friend’s mom had to ride ninja 9 straight times for a promo commercial before it was opened. It must’ve been hell

*honorable mentions:* _the teacups_

One of my first roller coaster experiences was an ancient looping pinfari coaster…I went through most of my life thinking I hated roller coasters😂

"will pillage and plunder your vertebrae" "does have an interesting back story" Ha!

I started laughing my ass off as soon as pirates hideaway was mentioned. It’s truly horrible

Green lantern is officially closed for good so now it’s a defunct coaster 🤷‍♂️

I grew up 15 minutes from six flags StL and I knew the Ninja had a local reputation for being painful, but I had no idea it was so notorious everywhere else 😂 To be honest it didn't get too painful for me to ride until after I was about 16 and my friends and I used to love it, the operators would even send us around a second or third time if nobody else was waiting. The adults definitely never joined us if they could help it though 😂

For me, what makes a good rollercoaster is balance between excitement and safety.

Concerning disrespect to coaster engineers: I'm not a coaster engineer, but I *have* worked on technology projects in my time that... for whatever reason... just didn't work out. I can say that, most of the time, when someone's in a technical position on one of these snakebitten projects, they know it. They do their best, try to mitigate the damage, but often the thing breaking it is outside of their control. And, if anything, they'll find grim amusement in someone ripping the thing apart. Unless you try to point the finger at them directly.

“The experience was about as well received as an Adam Sandler Netflix movie.” 😂😂😂

I remember visiting Parc Asterix when I was at school and the locals headed straight for the wooden coaster while all us English kids headed towards Goudarix. I’m not surprised after riding it!

Oh my god. The Big Apple coaster literally rattles your brains out of your head, and I was young enough that I legitimately thought that was how rollercoasters with inversions were supposed to make you feel

Update on Green Lantern: Magic Mountain made an official statement regarding the ride, they’ve permanently closed the ride and plan to pull it out and develop the area for more attractions in the future.

"The SLC Mind Eraser ride should be disassembled and be sent to Moviegate Dubai in the Lionsgate land and be themed after Norm of the North" Now that's one huge flame right there.

I was genuinely surprised the Corkscrew was mentioned, although now I kinda see why. I used to ride it at Canobie only twice during my multiple visits. I remember seeing a bunch of people get off with red ears, or they had to put their belongings/earrings back in place cause of how tough the ride was on their heads. Last time I went, the ride was closed down. Maybe for maintenance but not sure if it’s back up.

"Ever wonder what it's like to be a labrat in an earthquake" lmao

8:00 me in fourth grade trying to make good shakes on musically

6:14 i’m from scotland and i live in aberdeen, where i’ve been on the looping star a lot as a kid. and let me tell you, it’s the worst rollercoaster ever. your head gets thrown about, it’s bumpy, jumpy, unstable and terrifying. however this didn’t stop me and my pals from riding it 5 times in a row when i was younger lmao

"its pretty much the equivalent of being locked inside a pirate ship's bathroom in the middle of a hurricane" IM DYING

Mind Eraser- ugh don't even get me started. It defo erases memories by giving a concussion. Every time I get off it I get a migraine.

I love going on painful rollercoasters with my friends because we all just laugh in pain throughout the ride

7:12 Your quick pronunciation of the name of the famous company, "Arrow Dynamics" made me think, "Hey, that sounds like the word aerodynamic!" Somehow in like 20 years of being aware of this company, hearing the name pronounced, and reading it- I had never realized that their name was a play on words or a pun of sorts. The More You Know (TM)!

Seeing the Vortex at 7:54 truly brings back memories. That blue steel beast will be missed

People: Ninja is too rough and I'm left with a throbbing headache and a stiff neck. SFSL: I know! Let's add clunky headsets with the leftover graphics from Superman 64. People: Wh...why must you hurt me this way?

I felt like I've watched an "Everything wrong with Vekoma" video.

0:12 is that a Panda Express rollercoaster? What the hell?

I'm a Jersey native, and I remember both renditions of the wizards cavern. My mom said she also remembers it from when she was younger (she's in her 50's). When it was wizards cavern, it did have theming inside. I was very young, but I remember black light lit up masks that scared the daylights out of me. It was a really rough and jerky ride, but so we're most all the rides on Casino Pier at the time. So strange to go there now and see some of the staples you've mentioned before be totally gone.

Having ridden Goudurix in 2019, i agree that the restraints and the cushions around the head weren't well done. However having done it again recently in July 2020, i was expecting the same situation however, they redid the cushions around the head and it is sooo much smoother now. Very happy and will definitely redo it again now.

I love the one where the people ate lunch on the coaster! Talking about making something fun out of a bad creation. I’m glad they took a light humor approach to it. If this was the US, they would’ve been sued! Lol

Sixflags magic mountain is 15 mins from me. I can confirm that Green Lantern is going to be teared down.

when i clicked on this video i literally said aloud “if viper isn’t on this list.....” LOL

my brother got a concussion on pirates hideaway, my mom tried suing but it ended up not working out . :/ edit: it’s kind of okay at first, like it’s fun. i brought my 3 year old cousin on it and she was screaming and crying the whole time lol. it isn’t bad at all at first, but when you get to the part where it whips you around i can tell you it’s the worst pain i’ve ever been in my life ! idk how this thing is still up!

Just wanted to say I've been on the top 4 of these rides... But I've been on maybe 6 roller coasters in my life. So.

When I rode the Ninja a couple weeks ago with my girlfriend, the second inversion slammed our heads against the restraints. We both yelled "Ow", and during the mid-course brakes, she threatened to kill me when we get off the ride.

You mentioned the Green Lantern ride at Magic Mountain, but the Green Lantern at Six Great Adventures was also awful when I rode it. It's a stand up coaster and when I came off of it my shoulders were extremely sore. It's so shaky and rough. Maybe they've improved it since I last rode it, but I remember it being a horrible experience. I think that Green Lantern movie was truly cursed lol.

A corkscrew on a Pinfari is like making a cake out of cardboard.

Lol. I did ride a Zamperla once on a fair in Vienna, Austria. It wasn't bad I thought for a fun fair ride. I wanst expecting a "real" roller coaster.

I went on Pirate Hideaway with my little cousin and she cried and I was like praying to God we wouldn't die. She was 3 and I was 6 so LMFAO

Honestly I'm truly surprised that Flashback (originally at Six Flags Magic Mountain) didn't make the list. That ride was HORRENDOUS. Sooooo many people came away with head and neck injuries, to the point it eventually got shut down. But it was there through much of the 90s. It was located close to the entrance gate at Six Flags Plaza. Was built by Intamin as well. Opened in 1992 and removed for good in 2007 after it sat idle for 4 years. When I tell you it was HORRENDOUS. My older brother and sister hurt their heads and my dad did too. Only reason I didn't experience it myself is because the ONE time I had the opportunity to ride it in 1995 (I was 9yrs old), I happily gave it a hard pass and waited for my family at the exit lol. Not only that, the NOISE from it was also terrible and very LOUD. To the point the lifeguards at the neighboring Hurricane Harbor couldn't hear when someone was needing to be rescued! It would drown out all the sound. Also annoyed the guests, as you can imagine. The ride was previously placed at 2 other parks (SF Over Georgia and SF Great America; it was known as "Z-Force" at those two locations, then the name was changed to Flashback when it made its way to Magic Mountain) before it finally made its way to Magic Mountain. It was supposed to get mass-produced, but ended up being the only one of its kind, and for good reason. It remained standing but not operating from 2003 till 2007 when it was removed completely. Originally they were going to try reopening it for 2008 but in 2007 decided to just scrap it completely. Awful, just awful. *shudders*

*2:45* The explanation is true, however, Goudurix is actually the name of a character from the franchise the park is themed after.

I’ve actually been on one of the 1 worst rollercoasters But yes I’d have to say my sister warned me about the head banging 😬

... but over the shoulder restraints are my favorite 😢

In regards to Green Lantern: First Flight, it's been announced in August of this year (2019) that it will be completely dismantled and relocated to La Ronde in Montreal, Canada. As someone who has ridden the ride, I cannot say this wasn't inevitable.

Norm of the North is one of the worst movies ever made, and Mind Eraser is one of the worst rides ever made, therefore Norm of the North the ride is a fitting name.

Green Lantern First Flight was nicknamed: Balls Crusher First Tear By me.

As someone who road the Big Apple Rollercoaster in Las Vegas just recently, I didn’t find it that bad. Maybe I road it on a good day, or maybe it got a maintenance update, but it really wasn’t all that rough. Very pretty scenery at night as well.

I'm surprised how many fans of Goudurix are out there. Perhaps I'll do another poll and make a list of underrated coasters.

it's really interesting how wrong you can pronounce "schwarzkopf"

I went on a boomerang called the demon at Australia's wonderland, it was so bad i had beaten up ears after that horrible ride lol

I wish that everyone could have experienced the happy beatings I took riding Steel Phantom back in the day. What an amazing experience!

The #1 worst ride is accurate I rode it yesterday and it gave me an headache lol

Never ride the “Bullet” at Kemah boardwalk in Texas, I’ve heard multiple cases of whiplash, poor securing, and near 90 degree angled turns, that people have come off with bruises and my mother got sick,and multiple children and skinny folk like me report “its fun to ride but it feels like I’m about to fly out”, and a mother of a child they let on was the only thing keeping her daughter from flying off. Now, I like roller coasters even if they scare the crud outta me, but even this one I will never touch with a ten foot pole.

*Am i the only who hasnt gone to none of the rides on the vid?*

The worst coaster I was ever on was the stand up version of Green Lantern at Six Flags NJ. Was about 10 years ago. We rode it first and it messed me up for the rest of the day. Couldn't shake the nausea.

I like how you said you mean no disrespect to the manufacturers or engineer's, and I know exactly why you said that, you just don't want to get thrown in the same dumpster as Taylor and Dakota

I dont understand how the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Over Georgia is still running. I'm sure it's all about Nostalgia, but I almost developed Amnesia after riding it. Awful!

The corkscrew at Alton towers kept me awake for days before visiting, as a 10 year old it was the most exciting thing imaginable. It's called progress, don't hate on the forebears

I feel so validated that you mentioned Viper! That ride is a nightmare of pain, but there is a ride that's worse. X2. X2 should be such a great ride, but you're so busy trying to manage your pain, you can't enjoy it. There once was a ride even worse. Flashback. It was a corkscrew, jammed into a tiny little area. So rough that I cheered its exit.

Omg I'm so glad you mentioned the Corkscrew. We go to Canobie Lake Park in NH a lot and they have one: it is TERRIBLE and painful

As soon as I saw that list I just new Ninja at six flags would show up. Damn that was a rough ride. The hurler at kings dominion (before it was upgraded to a steel track) had a smother ride then that monstrosity and the designers knew when they named the damn thing!

I went on Pirates Hideaway and it hurt so bad I started crying. The cars were uncomfortable and it just was a terrible experience.

I’ve been on Goudurix, and it was pretty decent to say the least. I hardly experienced any head banging but my neck felt pretty sore. I just braced myself for those godawful transitions, especially on that butterfly inversion (which in all honesty looks absolutely nothing like a butterfly) and the Batwing.

Omgosh, I live in Cali and LOVED Viper when it first came out. I used to drive up just to ride it! I tried it out again a few years ago and after all was said and done, I had whiplash so bad my eyeballs hurt! I legit had to end my day because I was in so much pain!

15:38 I've been on Limit in Heide Park, Germany and it was so extremely rough, after the ride everyone was holding their hands. It was the opposite of fun.

Dude i loved viper, its aged really rough but apparently the track used to flex with the momentum and be completely smooth until they braced it. Yea it was painful but it had some amazing moments!!! Its legendary dude

I'm surprised the Mean Streak at Cedar Point didn't make the list unless it was restricted to currently operating coasters. It felt like you went several rounds with a professional boxer. I'm so glad they transformed it to Steel Vengeance.

I rode Goudurix a few weeks ago and it was really rough but it wasn't as rough as Le Tonnerre de Zeus (Zeus's lightning) in the same park. It is a wooden coaster with a lot of hills and air time but you can feel every transition in between tracks. It gave me a bad headhache for the rest of the day.

I remember when I went on green lantern. It was actually one of the first rides I ever went on without crying. My older sister forces me to go on rides but I didn’t want to. I was too scared so I started crying. This is when I was much younger though. So we went to green lantern. I was excited for the first time on a new roller coaster. Then when we got on it. big oof. I got dozens of bruises. Its like when you’re going in outward, your body is going outward very sharp but as soon as your body goes outward the ride goes inward. And it continues. IT HURTS. I never been on like those big rides like X2, Viper, Superman and more but I rather go on x2, the one I fear most, than green lantern. The green lantern ride would be way better if the cart was wings. In my opinion. I’m just saying from my experience. Others may like it but I don’t. Edit: if you guys don’t like the banging on a roller coaster, like viper, you just put your hands on the side of your head . Not both of your hands. One hand on the left of your head and the other on the right. It makes it less jerky. Just a tip.

Waiting to see Time Warp on this list... The damn thing left me bruised when I rode it as a kid.

The Ninja was my first ever coaster I rode with inversions, when I was 12. It will always have a special place in my heart.

"Pillage and plunder your vertebrae" Has me dying

I’m from Vallejo and the amount of times Kong has ruined my day at six flags is awful it deserves #1

'If you ever wanted to be assaulted by a real ninja' you weren't kidding about the humorous hyberbole XD

I'm French and I've been many times to Parc Astérix, I did Goudurix once and only once. It's very painful, it destroys your neck and you might need loads of painkillers for your headache to stop. This ride didn't age well, but the park has better coasters. I love Tonnerre de Zeus which means Zeus' thunder ( a wooden coaster) and Oziris ( inverted coaster ) is also a good coaster appreciated by many people. There is also Pégase Express, a very good family coaster which goes backward at the end of the ride. Btw there's a character named Goudurix in Astérix comic books and movies on which the ride is based, in Astérix characters' names are always puns.

If you're looking for a good Green Lantern, try the one in Movie World, Australia (it's an awesome park).

I actually really like the big apple coaster. While it was a little bumpy (and overpriced) I thought it still was pretty good.

When I was a kid my dad rode on the Boomerang. He was sick the whole day!!!

The commentary on this video had me LOL throughout. Very entertaining. Many thanks for posting.

Rough rides aren't always bad. I also quite like the SLCs I've ridden. In fact I also liked viper at SFMM. But volares and the Manhattan express are horrible!!!!!!

Yeah Canobie Lake! I love the corkscrew and all of its skull shattering glory.

5:43 *That must be the worst head-bang ever*

Slight correction; the problems with Green Lantern First Flight weren't Intamin's fault...sorta. A Zac Spin coaster is reliant upon weight distribution which is why many non-American Zac Spins match fat and skinny riders. This is also why people had such drastically different experiences on this ride in particular as your experience relied upon a McDonald's lover being on the ride with you but Six Flags didn't give a shit. The ride's universal reputation didn't properly come around until they added shudiken like shields around the cars which prevented ANY inversions from occuring. Why did they do this? Because a manufacturing error led to the side cars getting hammed in place mid-rorsfion and managers got sick of the ride's shit.

"will leave you begging for less" is a phrase I didn't know I needed so badly

13:11 it really says “stay away” when you and friend’s seatbelts came undone RIGHT BEFORE A CORKSCREW!!!

Wow, when I went to Six Flags St. Louis it was opened at first but me and some friends planned to ride other rides first, when we came back later the ride was closed so we couldn’t ride it. I was a little disappointed but I guess I was lucky the whole time 😂🤷🏾‍♂️

10:56 "There are so many different ways to experience pain" that they should have named this coaster "Hellraiser". We'll tear your soul apart.

When you got to the SLC I was like “Wait, that one seems familiar!” And then you showed the list of buyers; I saw “MP Express - Movie Park Germany” and so many painful memories rushed back from riding it once in my life. Bloody beast gave me a headache for the rest of that day and the next one.

I’ve been on pirates hideaway and it was kinda fun but the second seat belt only locks right before you go so I kinda got scared because I thought it wouldn’t lock.

Oh god, vekoma SLC's. Their very first SLC, El condor is the worst rollercoaster EVER! I've been on it numerous times, me and my friend call it the brainwreck.

I am literally crying laughing throughout this whole video. The way you described the head bashing 😂😂😂
