I actually like Zamperla Volares. I want to clarify that after multiple comments were asking why I excluded them from this list. I have a whole review explaining why they're fun for me.
I agree - I even marathoned time warp (when it was tomb raider) for a bit. I've always been really good at bracing my neck for rougher coasters. So I don't really get headbanging on Volares.
For Dinn, I nominate "Hercules" at Dorney Park; you needed to see a chiropractor after riding it! For Wisdom, how about "Pirates Hideaway" at Casino Pier? At the least, the pirates did a heckuva job hiding from the riders!
Prior to Titan Track, Predator at Darien Lake was awful, especially when they used to run those PTC trailored trains which jackhammed and shuffled around the track. Now it's much better since they are putting Titan Track on it and are using Holiday Worlds old Voyage trains on it.
This could be a hot take but I despise Thunderbolt at Luna Park. When I rode it, not only was it the worst staple I’ve ever experienced, but the ride broke down and I had to stay in the seat. Once the ride started working again. Not only was the seat uncomfortable, but the ride was also rough. I’d pick that ride for Zamperla. At least for the ones I’ve ridden
Thanks for talking about Blue Tornado. Gardaland is my home park and for some reason unkwnown to me people here love that ride and it's easily the second most popular, if not the most popular ride in the park, but I always found it unbearable. Last time I rode it it left me with neck pain for a week. It did recieve a partial refurbishment before this season's reopening, and while I have yet to ride it people say it runs smoother now, but it's still on the rough side.
Surprised to not see Mine Blower for Gravity Group, but also happy about it. I genuinely enjoyed it when I rode it for the first time this year. I always heard how bad it was, but the RMC track seems to have helped a lot! I absolutely adore that ride, and I'd go as far as to say it's one of my favorites in Florida! Edit: seeing a ride that's basically the same thing as the coaster I live about 15 minutes from as the pick for Wiegand is kinda saddening, but also... yeah, the shooting is awkward on those lol I'll take their standard mountain coasters any day!
Hurts seeing Mean Streak on here, but I get it. There's a reason it's SteVe now. I just remember how much I loved it during my first trip to CP in 1999. It was my first "big" coaster, and i left with it as my favorite ride in the park. That only lasted a year until Millennium was built, but even when it got rough, I still loved it just because of the memories. Rip Mean Streak ❤.
@@CanobieCoaster well yeah, it's an objectively better ride and not by a small amount. I just wish there was a world where OG Mean Streak before it got rough and SteVe exist at the same time. Mean Streak was also a really good first ride of the day after it got rough; no line, and everything felt smooth after(even Magnum).
Probably first time I ever see Blue Tornado being mentioned as the worst SLC, sadly it's from my home park :D the pain and the rattle used to be tolerable until 10 years ago, didn't mind multiple rerides at all, then after covid times it became so unbearably rough I couldn't tolerate more than 1 ride. Apparently some minor improvement have been made during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, but haven't tried it first hand :D
13:39 there is a clone of this ride in Cornwall, UK called 'hornet' and has arguably more severe braking. However I personally really enjoy the coaster myself so I suggest riding it if you ever get the chance!
The hornet is faster, in so far as it only really hits the brakes ridiculously hard on two of the brake sections. Other fun fact, the hornet is the UK's most southerly rollercoaster..
Out of the ones I have ridden: Premier Rides: Runaway Mountain. I've only ridden this and Mr Freeze from Premier. While Runaway Mountain is fun in total darkness, Mr Freeze just outclasses it in every way and both broke down when I went to Six Flags on Memorial Day Weekend. RMC: Tie between New Texas Giant and Iron Rattler as they're both solid. Vekoma: Probably the Boomerang at St Louis, was slightly rougher than the one at Fiesta Texas from what I can remember. B&M: Batman, only one I have ridden. Giovanolla: Titan (only one I rode) but I have heard Goliath is worse because the mid-course brake run brings you to a full stop on that one but not on Titan. Schwartzkoph: Shockwave, only one I rode again. Intamin: La Vibora, fairly rough and was closed when I went.
me personally when i went to dubai, i loved green hornet it was a fun ride and it wasnt really shaking turns felt like a normal wild mouse and the drop are sharp.
@@CanobieCoaster In my opinion the worst Gerstlauer Ive done is probably SAW: The ride at Thorpe park. IDK what it is with that ride, but it is just way rougher than any other Gerstlauer coaster Ive ever ridden, downright uncomfortable.
I remember riding Switchback at ZDT'S amusement park back in 2021. As far as I can remember, I remember getting off the ride 2 or 4 times with a headache.
My 2021 rides were rougher than my 2018 rides. I still enjoyed it a lot, but Mine Blower literally tried to snap my neck in half. Maybe the trackwork on it will lift it up, but it's my current least favorite coaster of all.
Bradley & Kaye: Magic Flyer at SFMM is inferior to Timberline Twister because it’s a single oval CCI: Zach’s Zoomer at MA is my current number one but is the only CCI I’ve ridden, so it’s both the best and worst. Chance Morgan: Woodstock Express at MA is decent, but the weakest I’ve ridden by the manufacturer. Miler: Great Pumpkin at KD is also their only one I’ve ridden. Zamperela: Back at the Barnyard Hayride at MoA is just an oval, but if you don’t count that, then Road Runner Express at SFDK. Zirrer: Cobra at SFDK is the only Zirrer I’ve ridden at the moment.
5:21 - Quick question, did the employees balance the riders on Green Lantern? The parks in Europe do that (as they should instructed by the manufacturer) thus making the experience much more tolerable, but in the video it looks like at least the latter car is severely unbalanced.
You nailed the Intamin Green Lantern right. That ride was hardly operational when I was at Six Flags because it kept getting stuck, so they had to close it all the time. Currently we have one at Kings Dominion it's made by S&S Sansei Technologies. Also if you ever took a ride on the Grizzly roller coaster made by Curtis D Summers/Taft Broadcasting, you might not feel safe if you're in the front row.
I nominate Alpengeist when you ride its bad train. It's a good ride when you get the two good trains, but regardless of what Busch Gardens does with it, that third train has a horrific rattle. This is why people say it's rough.
I only rode these once each, but my ride on Texas Giant was easily worse than my one on Mean Streak. I honestly think that Zambezi Zinger is my least favorite GCI, just behind Roar. I only rode Gotham City Gauntlet once, because it was closed during most of my visit, but that one ride was excellent. I don't think any of the brakes hit, and it was truly wild. Maybe that's why it was then closed the rest of my visit.
Mine Blower would have been the pick before it got some RMC track. It's now tolerable again. Hades is extremely rough, but I'll tolerate it for that amazing layout.
9:35 I assume you've never been to Montezum. I went on it a couple of weeks ago and got bruised on the leg because of the amount of jackhammering, that is the coaster that needs the rmc treatment the most When I rode Coaster Express, I didn't think it was rough, but just boring, but again, it was after the retrack, for me, a plain 5/10 would be a good score
I think the only manufacturer for whom I've ridden enough coasters to have a reasonable opinion is Arrow. And the objectively worst Arrow I've ridden was the infamous Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The frustrating thing was that it was a *great*, exciting layout--but the execution made it a pain machine. When I was a young man, I could take this. If it existed today I'd give it a miss. The worst PTC at parks I've visited is almost certainly the Compounce Wildcat--but I haven't ridden it, because I'm just not enough of an enthusiast to waste time on coasters that are universally considered bad. I frankly have not ridden a bad PTC. Mr. Twister scared the hell out of me the first time I rode it, but that was entirely its intention.
I only have two Vekoma experiences, and the worst out of the two is Flight Deck at Canada’s Wonderland. However, even though Flight Deck is holy rough, I still find fun in it. I just wish it get the Loch Ness treatment, though.
I haven’t ridden many coasters, but I can say with 100% confidence that Wildcat at HersheyPark was the worst GCI. I rode it twice and my gut felt like it was pummeled by a martial artist. That’s how rough it was.
I can't help but feel that Underground was the wrong Adventureland coaster to put on the list when Dragon was absolutely horrid in the roughness department.
I personally enjoy backlot stunt coaster because its one of the good starter coasters at canada's wonderland but yeah i think they need to fix the theming and maybe bring the effects back
- I was surprised that I didn't see a looping coaster when Arrow came up. Never rode an Arror so I can't comment on that really. - I kinda love Underground just because of the unique choice to use a wood coaster as a dark ride. Never rode it, thogh. - My worst coaster from Gerstlauer is Mammut I think. This wooden coaster.... exists. Nothing exciting on it. - Switchback I think needs some empathy. GG sure didn't have a lot of choice with the available space. It's stunning to look at offride. - Mack Wild mouse coasters are awesome. This is why I honestly choose blue fire as their worst. I don't get much forces on it, no airtime. Only the last roll is great. - Maurer's worst for a lot would be Freischütz, but I choose Sky Dragster because of it's awful capacity and short ride. - I hate Pinfari. Even though their "newer" coaster run with the Interpark name now, the Wild WInd is the most painful ride I've been on. - Reverchon is easy for me: Drifting coaster. Never got hurt so bad on a coaster before that I had big blue marks on my hips before. - SBF: The standard spinnig coasters from them were hurtful to my legs. I think the new SBF family launched coaster at Skylinepark could be my new worst SBF. - Can't decide on Schwarzkopf. All I've been on were perfect. - I'm very based when it comes to Zierer (in a good way), so no comment :P
10:41 I would personally say that Tidal Twister was worse. I didn’t find Harley Quinn that rough, it was just way too loud and is a dumb idea for a ride. Bad idea, bad execution. But at least it had a sense of speed because of its verticality. Tidal Twister did not have that, and instead just slowly went through its elements while giving head banging. It was such a stupid ride and was long overdue for removal.
Many consider it one of the best because of its insanity. I think I definitely would take it as one of the best even if it's rough. But some are more tolerable to roughness than others.
That doesn't mean you can't enjoy the layout I personally think its the second roughest coaster I've ever ridden after hades 360 and even I can look past it because the ride is just that good
Someone's apparently never been on a Zamperla flying coaster 😂 Even though it's probably gonna cause severe brain damage if you don't hold on with your dear life, i still find them quite funny to ride every now and then
@@CanobieCoasterI don't know if the park i've been to runs it differently than others, but it's usually a very painful experience. Especially on the last brake run, i always end up banging my head because of how quickly it stops
Tbh for zamperla I would’ve picked time warp at Canadas wonderland, I’ve ridden it and I’ve declared it as the worst roller coaster I’ve ridden in my life, yes it’s that bad.
5:45 honestly have to disagree. The Goofy coaster at California Adventure was shockingly worse than this. At least I could personally enjoy coast rider.
@@CanobieCoaster MCC is a Chinese company that also produces roller coasters, they are known for the poor quality in their coasters, and also because they are very painful
I can live white blue tornad being the worst of the SLC. I do like them if they are properly maintained but that one is just painfull. fortunatly to say i haven't done most of the others sincde i'm not from the states and havn't done azia yet. I do not see interparks Cobra in geiselwind i think that should have a honorable spot since its probable the worst i have ever done.
B&M coasters dont age well..Inverts for example,Afterburn at carowinds is unrideable,the ride shakes the living crap out of you,Alpengiest is until the mid-course than it starts shaking and rattling your brain ..Dominator at KD is really rough,Rougaru is terrible..I hope fury 325 doesnt follow the trend in 10 yrs
Hi buddy generally a great video but come on a non spinning wild mouse looks like El Toro compared to a volare. You say you enjoy but it’s just not believable
