Viper@SFMM....I had to stabelize myself so my

head didnt hit the "headrests" and cause bruising. I couldnt enjoy the ride.

The beast at PKI is rough...but it's at least enjoyable...

crazy

The Berserker at PKD. The restraints hurt and on top

of that, I got on today right after a break down so for some reason it wasn't

going normal so we were upside down for about 5-7 seconds. I started to freakin

redout!

Also, that mine train at Gadv. I don't fit so I kinda

ended up on the floor of the ride...

I feel that if makes a difference if you know what

the ride does at certain times. I can brace myself on Viper @ SFMM to make it less

bumpy. I do the same on Psyclone. You have to ride the coaster a few times to know

of every bump in the track. I feel Flash back @ SFMM is the worst but I

haven't been able to try to brace myself since it hasn't been working.

Its not the ride itsself that is bumpy, its the cement-like headrests

that make it a pain...

Me three. People always wine (especialy enthusiasts)

about rouch rides. Viper @ SFMM is one of my altime favorite rides. My favorite

seat? The roughest car, the back.

As for the most painful ride, not the

roughest, I would have to say the Hi Miller @ the Del Mar (San Diego) Fair. God, its

fun, but it has literaly NO padding. Those turns are Wild Mouse style, and you get

thrown into hard metal & plastic. It was fun though...

i think there taking out flashback to put a

gyro drop tower thing....correct me if im

wrong....

Wrong. There has been

nothing other than rumors. As of now, Flashback is staying. I don't doubt SF

wan't to do somthing with it, but they don't want to lose their precious

coaster count. Anyway, I haven't had the pleasure of riding Flashback, so I

would be especialy dissapointed if they remove it before I had a chance to ride it.

:(

Go Broncos!

I don't see what is so bad about flashback

:unsure:

I rode about 3 times in 2001 and I sat normally and I only had 1 bump which was the

S curve upward.

Maybe it's just that the pads ARE rock hard so one

bump gives you a migrane. It gave me a headache for about a minute or 2.

there are 3 awful ones at Gadv.

Viper - they staple you into the seats so

you come off with bruises on your head and shoulders

Rolling Thunder -

All I need to say is, poor maintence and tracking. (HELLO!!! A paint

job won't make people think this is any smoother)

Skull Mountain -

iff this was outside you would not come off with so much pain. I came off with some

serious back pains.

The Gauntlet at Camelot theme park in the UK- Its a

piddly little Pinfari Looper and hurts like hell, I got whiplash my first ride, second and

third (4 years later!) I got a bad shoulder and back. A very rough ride.

Viper at gadv. It is a short ride but bangs you around

to much, i think most of the problem is the crappy restriant system. If they would just

get rid of the harnesses and keep just the lap bars it would be alot better....

^I completely agree. I just think if the OTSR are

removed, better lap bars should be installed. The ride should stay, but it should get

fixed now.

Theres not enough remove for converting Viper to lap

bars. If there were I'm sure it would have been done before Arrow went bust.

Its actually the best Arrow looper I've riden.

Oh, and berserker is a

flat. Its an inverting ship.

Texas Giant loud? any beemer not filled with

sand beats it easy.
