Any of the million Vekoma boomerang's.

I totally agree with you. Especially the part when you go backwards is not pleasant at all. Haha, since Six Flags Great Escape we know of each other that we both hate boomerangs.

...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.

The inverted boomerang we did in France was pretty awesome, yes.

The Boomerang at Pleasurewood Hills, according to my brother, was pretty good. It was very re rideable in his view. That was a couple of years ago though.

Totally. I have Invertigo at KI to ride. It's very smooth, especially if you sit toward the middle. The two ends pull crazy g's on the loop, to the point where I don't enjoy it as much.
Overall, I think the inverted boomerangs are tied with the tilt coasters as the best Vekoma's out there. I haven't ever ridden any regular boomerang's, but they seem awful.

With the exception of Outlaw Run, I don't know if I really care for RMC woodies. Or perhaps I just don't agree with the whole Iron Horse treatment thing.
Personally, I compare it to having a 70's Camaro, and instead of having it professionally restored, you pay the local redneck to fit it with a supercharged engine, flame decals, and monster truck tires.

Im bringing my thread back!

I'm not a fan of most wild mouse coasters. They look cool and all, but the always seem to hurt my neck and are just not enough of a thrill to ride sadly.

[JayketheKid]

The absolute worst coaster me have been on is diamond back at frontier city. It's an arrow looper that was part of the interlocking ones at whatever six flags park that it was at. It's has your usually Sid to side head banging, but it has forward and back ward head banging where it throws your head forward and then the head rest slams back into your head. It really sucks, but the only thing keeping me riding it is the insane ejector airtime on the launches. Also boomerang at worlds of fun has to be one of the worst, and throne at elitch gardens isn't that bad actually

[Rollerfreak987]

Ninja at SFOG. Just a waste of metal.

It's even worse when you can't cram your self into the car because you're so tall, but you ride anyway!

Excalibur at Valley Fair- worst designed coaster I've been on, yet still went on it time after time.

At the bottom of the drop( where the dirt is dug up on the left) there is a 15 foot straight away. I don't know if they planned to have the coaster go into the earth or not but either way it's very weird

Mean streak
Cedar Creek Mine Ride
Those two I despise.
Mean Streak is even worse than Son of Beast was!

[-=Zach=-]

I really enjoy both Mean Streak and Cedar Creek Mine Ride. I have MS in my top ten, and CCMR is just hilarious!
I really don't dislike much, I'll ride everything and enjoy it.

[pkiknex25]

I don't dislike this ride, nor is it my least favorite, but ever since I rode Manta at Sea World Orlando, I haven't care much to ride Firehawk.

[Killerbunny]

My two least favorite rides are Demon at SFGA and Zues at Mount Olympus.
Both rides are painful and boring. Zeus is so full of airtime hills, you think it would have airtime. But no, you stay firmly planted in your seat the entire ride.

It used to be an airtime hill. It was taken out either at the same time or right before they added the trims

[Jogumpie]

The Ultimate at Lightwater Valley
Well... the ride is horribly painful... but then again, I'd ride it again. This ride is insane.

[Gvus]

I recently went to SFGA, and I found out that I dont like Green Lantern. Blood rushes to my ankles and it hurts very, very bad.

[Dragon_drake_5012]

Flying ACE. For a 40 foot ride, it is too rough. (rebel)

American Eagle at Great America is rough, and the blue side is boring. The red side is alright.

Also, it's not a roller coaster, but Dive Bomber hurts like hell.

This:

[Killerbunny]

Hah you too. The twisty slide is probably the most painful I have ridden. It really scrapes up your back and at the same time suffocates you with constant water in your face.
