TPJames Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Worst ride I've ever been on is John Bugg's Oblivon (funfair ride) it uses the same jingles over and over again and it does the same cycle ALL THE TIME! And worst roller coaster was stella revenge at Clacton Pier! If you dont brace yourself when it brakes it is Painful!!The KMG Freakout is programmed with 3 cycles which all the freakouts use... There is no way to change the cycles etc.(except for john davis X Flight which can be run on manual for some reason). For me, the worst ride was the 'big wave Miami' in a funfair in germany. It was absolutely awful as the bar was way high above everyone and there was only one thin metal bar for the WHOLE ROW. The cycle went on forever and ever and I just wanted it to stop because it felt like I was going to fall out. Everyone's legs were also flinging everywhere aswell- oh it was just awful I hated it!!

GladiatorFanKyle Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Yeah but this freakout plays the same jingles over and over again and it's so reptitivie. Rock rage does the same stuff sometimes but it always trys to be original! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Han30 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Worse coaster - Klondike at Hayling Island by a mile. Regarding Space Mountain - that was my first inverted coaster way back in 2000 and was pretty head bangy back then - can't imagine what it is like now - although despite it giving me a massive headache I did enjoy it (mainly the epic soundtrack) Worse flatty - Extreme at Hayling Island - Miami ride with just one long lapbar which is great but you get people of varying sizes going on at the same time. At one point, my butt was on one side of my seat as it flew around at the top. I honest to God thought I was going to be catapulted out of that thing - you get some good airtime but for me, coming right out of my seat and clinging on for dear life doesn't excite me much Worse wet ride - Storm surge.....nuff said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan9 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Space Mountain M2 isn't even rough... Saw, Colossus, Rita, Indy and heck probably even Nemesis are more head-bangy than it. Let's not even talk about Baco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Space Mountain M2 isn't even rough... Que? It's not the worst one for roughness, but it's still pretty bad...

coastercameron98 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Worst Coaster: Roller Coaster at Wicksteed Park - due to being fairly tall the restraints gave my shoulders a death grip and the track layout itself isn't very good either as the bottom of the drops are very sudden and jolty which presses the restraint further in to your shoulders. It's a Pinfari though so I guess that explains it. Worst Flat: Dragons Claw at Adventure Island - I don't know whether it's just me but I found that I started to get head aches from being put upside down for too long and the overall ride just felt un-natural and painful.

I was so desperate to get off I felt like I was going to fall out and die! I will go on a Miami with secure lap bars but never one with just one for the whole row- never again!!

Han30 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 Although I hated it I went on the damn thing about 3 or 4 times - Never again though although, like yourself I would go on one with individual lapbars. On one of my rides there was a child sat next to me and I was bracing myself to catch the poor kid incase she went flying - thankfully that didn't happen!

The shameful thing is, that ride replaced an awesome ride called 'speed flip' which replaced another awesome ride called 'tornado 2'(which is now travelling at funfairs across the UK). Look what we have ended up with... A ride which I daren't even go near! Whiteknuckle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It bloody well is! Near the back is vile, the front is still worse than all the others you've listed. Fair enough if you feel that way, just makes it very odd that I've been on it around 20 times in the last 7 months across separate visits and I haven't had a single ride on it that I would have described as rough...

Coaster Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I don't mind the single lapbar going across everyone on rides like that (airtime ftw!) but I can't believe that they replaced Speed Flip with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably helps that you went it for the first time just after a refurb and you find nothing rough Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 I found Space Mountain slightly rough but considering the uniqueness of the ride itself, it felt fine. It was definitely ridable compared to the delights of Baco, Saw and Stampida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke_A Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Stampida. Less the roughness but more the weird park bench train back design with odd shaped lap bars. Also expect mild tinnitus for 10 minutes or so after you ride it. It's loud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Despite enjoying the Smiler my last ride on this was awful it really felt like being punched repeatedly the only time ever I have wished for a roller coaster to end quicker. so yes it was in my top 10 after my last ride it has dropped off the list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GladiatorFanKyle Posted June 30, 2014 Report Share Posted June 30, 2014 Worst coaster was stellas revenge at Clacton Pier. So Painful when it hits the breaks violently and you think you are going to die. Worst flat ride was probably clacton piers jump and smile. Its too loud and the ride op seems like its his destiny to throw you out the gondola! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
