Benin Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Everyone has that emotion, that plus 1 attraction you've queued an hour for expecting a dull or boring experience, when suddenly mid ride a moment of pure excitement erupts for a few seconds before the ride resumes it's rather bland affair with life... What are your standout moments of awful/dull/average rides? This could be any part of any ride... To start off, the tunnel dive on Vampire and Runaway Train are both memorable moments on bang average rides... Baco's awfulness is at odds with the launch sequence... Most Intamin coasters have that fantastic first drop then meander for ages... Let's try and have some proper discussion eh?

Ryan Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 Queuing an hour for Storm Surge and getting into a boat that's not filled with water is worth cracking out the Prosecco for IMO... But in all seriousness, the indoor drop in Saw is a fantastic moment that is let down by the rest of the painful experience.

Coaster Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 The first drop and helicopter turn on The Swarm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshuaA Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 The first drop on Big One.. The rest is just painful and not fun. Rita's launch is another one, the rest of ride is pointless banked turns which fracture your shoulders.. coasterdude73, pognoi and Cian 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt 236 Posted November 21, 2016 Report Share Posted November 21, 2016 1/ That corkscrew on shockwave being ejected from my post was interesting, rest was forgettable. 2/ The lights flying up the lift hill on Temple In The Nighthawk, rest of the ride is forceless and repetitive. 3/ The indoor area of Saw 4/ That tight Helix on Kanonen. Controversially not a massive of the ride but there's much worse coasters. Cian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean_W Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Vortex if you're lucky enough to be at the top of the maximum swing-angle! This is a complete rarity for me, I always end up getting stuck on the lower side... it's like sitting in the centre rows of a pirate ship.. BAH.

Charlesberg Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Colossus front row This is a bit of an exception, Colossus isn't generally a meh ride but it's got so rough this year I just don't like it. Except front row where it is a great ride Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 Ooh, nice thread idea! UK-wise, Vampire's tunnel immediately springs to mind. Also, The Antelope at Gulliver's Warrington had a surprise drop somewhere which 8-year old me loved (see my blog post: http://forum.maniahub.com/blogs/entry/317-what-was-the-thing-with-the-antelope/ ). European-wise, Huracan at Bellewaerde is a standout for it's awesome pre-lift dark ride-esque section; the coaster section is a complete waste of a theme and location! The vertical loop on Typhoon at Bobbejaanland deserves a mention for being so darn intense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kerfuffle Posted November 22, 2016 Report Share Posted November 22, 2016 TH13TEEN's first drop in the back row. Throwing in the indoor drop and backwards section too for the heck of it. Always been an addicting ride for me tbh Cian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluk Posted November 28, 2016 Report Share Posted November 28, 2016 I'm not happy about Vampire being considered a 'meh' attraction in general. The dive might be the highlight, but the whole thing remains great fun even in its current butchered state. Mine would have to be Th13teen's drop and reverse, which is a really great trick but follows a main coaster section which falls well below 'meh' into the actively bad category.
