I don't really like flat rides either because I don't like spinning round too much. I also don't like the look of launch coasters. I'd rather pay for a professional facelift if I wanted one.
Particular coasters I don't really like include Tornado at M&Ds (I'm sure I've mentioned that at least 20 times before) just because it's so rough and horrible and for similar reasons, the Grand National at Blackpool. Went on it just over a week a ago and it's particularly jarring when the train practically jumps the track.

I like every ride really, droptowers are the scariest things by far. Especially once you haven't ridden one in some time.

Bandit in Movie Park Germany. I've only ridden it after the latest retracking and it was still terrible. I cannot imagine how it would have been earlier on.

Green Lantern (or any Intamin Zacspin). They're very slow and not fun at all. Add in the pain factor (say goodbye to your manhood) and you've got one very unpleasant ride.

May I add to that? I have always thought the standard Vekoma SLCs were bad, but oh man I have experienced Insane (the bigger Intamin Zacspin, same as Green Lantern) and that is ten times worse. I rode it with my sister the first time and she felt really bad after it. I rode it two more times on that day and I must say, I did regret that, the last ride really lead to pain in the back and a headache. Fortunately all the other rides were great at the small Swedish park.

We need to get you on one of those frog hopper kiddie towers then.

Very funny! I could do one of those.

5 mind eraser elitch gardens
4 boomerang worlds of fun
3 timberwolf worlds of fun
2 mean streak
1 rattler six flags fiesta Texas (before iron horse track)
Some other bad ones I have ridden were corkscrew cedar point and vortex kings island

My most unfavorite roller coaster had to be Tennessee Tornado at Dollywood. The drop was amazing, but as soon as you hit those inversions, my head felt like it was going to shatter.

[IonZer0]

^Tennessee Tornado wasnt that bad. Just make sure you sit on the inside of Mystery mine. Otherwise you slam your elbow into the side of the car. However, Hurler at Carowinds takes first prize here. Some guy got off and goes,"OH SH-T I DROPPED MY WALLET ON THAT THING!" Self explanitory...

Son of Beast and Boss. For the same reasons.

[Jumpge]

Any of the million Vekoma boomerang's.

[Killerbunny]

^I liked Invertigo.
I hate arrow loopers, especially Demon at SFGA. Everything about them sucks.

[CW5X]

Just realised I don't particularly like drop towers either. The one at Drayton Manor is probably as big as I would go for them and that it was a surprise for me that I went on that. I enjoyed it but I certainly wouldn't go much bigger.

The worst wooden coaster I have ever been on was Rolling Thunder, much worse than Mean Streak will ever be. B&M stand ups, togo stand ups are all awful. I haven't been on an slc with original trains, but from my experience Nor'easter is actually pretty good. I have been on many boomerangs and none were bad, Sidewinder at Hershey was very smooth. I also think the Coney Island cyclone is just rough and painful, not being enjoyable in any way.

[Jogumpie]

^I liked Invertigo.

...which isn't your standard Vekoma Boomerang. I've ridden loads of ordinary Boomerangs and I'm not really a fan of those, especially not of those backwards parts. Inverted Boomerangs however, are way bigger and newer (meaning they have newer track designing and manufacturing methods). From experience I can tell you that these two different models are not comparable.

[ThisIsGabe]

Vortex is the worst coaster I've ever ridden, just because it staples you harder and harder as the ride goes on. I made the mistake of sitting in the very back row too...
Mantis is probably my second worst, just because of how it makes my legs turn to mush, and I always worry I'll loose my wallet on it.
Gatekeeper I dislike because of the restraint problems - the ride itself is a fairly boring layout, and having the air crushed out of your lungs ruins it for me.
Maverick and I have an agreement. I love it to pieces and want to take a sledgehammer to it at the same time. Apart from its launch drive contactors (those things were responsible for 60-80% of 2013's downtime), if you ride it with a loose harness, it will take any chance to staple you as revenge.

The Vekoma SLC at Canada's Wonderland.

I'm not even going to give it the dignity of calling it by it's name.

[BGTKing]

Ninja at SFOG. Just a waste of metal.

[The Stig]

^ That was almost going to go on my list, but it's not too bad if you can get your head above the OTSRs.

I really do agree with you there. I had a headache for the rest of the day after riding that...

I'm with you there. They haven't even considered getting new trains for it.
