Deja Vu at SFMM. When ever I go on it, I bang my head between the restraints for most of the ride. It hurts like hell!

The back seat of Boss will easily ruin the rest of your day.

Anything by Vekoma.

Except for the newest ones like Battlestar Galaxia!

The worst mistake of my coasterlife is hen I rode the Boss in the back. It's not so bad in the front. I personally like the Boss because it's another one of those big and unque wooden coasters. Unlike the others, the one starts at the center and scatters all around in an irregular shape, kinda like Lightning Racer. However, shape does some what resemble SOTB.

My least favorite coaster is Iron Wolf because of it's roughness. I really hope that they fix it and make it smoother when they move it to SFA.

You know, despite all of the riders who dislike it, they would not scrap it because of it's role in the park's history. It is one of the few coasters that was built when Marrot owned the park and that still stands, along with the Whirrler and some others.

Here's an interesting choice for you and it's mainly because I haven't really ventured to theme parks outside of the UK much and I haven't been to the USA because my health insurance would be through the roof so I can't compare to the likes of Psyclone and Ninja and what not but Tornado at M&Ds in Scotland is utterly horrible. It's not huge (80 feet) and it isn't particularly fast (45mph) yet your head is constantly bashed around between the restraints. I'm pretty confident I came out with bruises behind my ears. If you ever have the displeasure of riding it then you may as well try to save yourself by stuffing a pillow between your head and the restraints. Word has it that someone actually broke their back on it. I don't know if this is true and to be honest I don't think it is either but if you think it looks like a good layout, honestly don't bother. It almost ruined roller coasters for me by introducing me to a painfully rough ride. Glad I learned it on this Pinfari rather than a real "classic".

My least favorite is Georgia Cyclone, it's probably the only one I won't ever ride again. There are a few others that I didn't enjoy (thunderhawk @ dorney, shockwave @ kings dominion, roar @ sf america) and would skip over but would re ride if whoever i was with wanted to ride them.

[Rollerfreak987]

I don't really have a least favorite, but I would have to say it would have been either Gwazi Lion (I don't know about Tiger, never ridden it, it's always closed when I go to BGT) or Manta, Manta was just uncomfortable, because it is a flyer, and Gwazi gave me a migrane afterwards for the rest of the day.

Millennium force was THE MOST disappointing roller coaster I have ever ridden. A little airtime on all 3 of it's camelbacks, but other than that the first drop is nothing special and I'm not a huge fan of positive g's. Mean streak is very low on my list as well.

SLCs suck to the point that they are not even fun. They are the only coasters I can stay that about.

[lazor 22]

The 1 SLC I have been on (Mind Eraser @ SF America) was actually pretty fun I thought. Did hurt my head a bit but I wanted to re ride, ran out of time though.

[< NCcoaster >]

Coney Island cyclone, Green Lantern because I hate Mantis and that is the six flags version.
It's rediculous seeing what everybody hates, I don't agree with some of these. I have only been on new slc trains though so I don't know much about that.

Robin Hood vs. El Condor (both at Walibi Holland)

I think I will go with El Condor. Once they retracked Robin Hood it will be quite a fun ride, but El Condor is just some wasted steel. It is a Vekoma invert and super bumpy.

A showdown between Skyrider and Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland. If I had to choose between the two, it would be Flight Deck since your head bangs more between the restraints than Skyrider.

[ForgotToGrowUp]

I haven't ridden a lot of different coasters and personally love woodies but the Cyclone at SFNE is one I won't ride again. It's always been brutal but after they reduced the first drop by 30' it doesn't even have any redeeming value. Seriously looks like it is going to fall down soon, partidcularly that high turn above the station area. I wish they tore that down to put in Goliath. If they had the capital they should tear down Cyclone and Boomerang and put in something big.

[The Stig]

Mantis wouldn't be that bad if it weren't for the figure 8 at the end.
After the corkscrew, it just becomes "Why are we still going? When will it end?"

[Witting]

never ride typhoon at bobbejaanland in the cold morning then it is rough because f a design fault to the weels. most of the time it also just rolls back

[RNB]

^ I rode it this summer and it was a very nice coaster I thought. Nice airtime, a bit shaky but not painful.

I will never ride Bandit (Movie Park Gemany) again. That is a too shaky coaster, and it's really painful. Same goes for Goudurix, Asterix Park

[Maxwell58]

Mean Streak. I used to like it, but now I don't.

[moose517]

Mean Streak. I used to like it, but now I don't.

Same here, it seems mean streak was in its worst running shape this summer than i've ever rode it. I really hope they do a bunch of work this winter to improve the track on it.

The first drop and first two turns are glass smooth though. You can tell they did work on those, it's just the rest of the ride that's the problem.
