corkscrew is the roller coaster that you find in a math or science textbook

Yep, it was on one of my science books in middle school. For my high school Math book it was another roller coaster it was red and it was going through a Corkscrew...might have been Anaconda, but I doubt it.

for some reason i’ve been watching a lot of rollercoaster videos during quarantine, so i’ve really been enjoying your channel. i live in va and live relatively close to both king’s dominion and busch gardens. shockwave was my first coaster i’ve ever ridden (can you imagine? so misfortunate), and i was VERY happy to see it on this list lol. .......and then i saw anaconda and i was shocked, because i remember loving it - but, in retrospect, it’s probably because it was so gentle and i was deathly afraid of rollercoasters at the time.

You should do a best coaster and worst coaster for each park. like how you did that with manafacturers.

[@TheQuashingoftheTub]

Why don't we start a comment chain of what each of our reccomended worst coasters in Parks we've ecperienced are? For me; Fiesta Texas: Batman: The 4D Ride. Incredibly rough, and horribly designed. An uncomfortable and unpleasant ecperience, through and through. There's a clone in Over Texas called The Joker. Over Texas: Not counting The Joker, so I'm gonna go with Mini Minetrain. Very rough for a Kids' ride, and a major step down from The Runaway Minetrain(Now just know as the MineTrain, I believe.) I'm not an expert of Coasters, and am rather quite afraid of them despite my love for them, so don't take these at heart and see what y'all think of the rides for yourself!

Okay I can understand how you named certain companies for the sins Arrow falling behind in the coaster market and kept going for PRIDE alone Golden Horse ENVYs what other companies have done and rips off their designs Vekoma has earned the WRATH of coaster enthusiasts because of the SLC's RCCA's coasters were rough and the layouts were dull, the result of SLOTH in design Not sure how you named the other companies though ......

[@Fahrenheit4051]

​@@Jason_Maier You got most of them right. B&M = Lust, simply because of their luxury and allure of their giga-coasters. RMC = Gluttony, because of the sheer excess of good elements and no sense of when to stop. Dinn Corp. = Greed, because of their skimping on materials. Sloth = RCCA because of their sluggish and dull rides. Wrath = Vekoma, because their rides exert their wrath on you, not the other way around. Envy = Golden horse, because they rip nearly everything off of others. Pride = Arrow, because the extremely ambitious "X" was the pride that came before destruction.

When I was a kid, Wild Beast and The Mighty Canadian Mine Buster were absolutely legendary. Both were easily two of my favourites in the whole park. Now, they're almost unrideable. Way, way, WAY too rough. And you're right to put Time Warp that high on the list. Unlike the woodies, this coaster was _never_ rideable. It really doesn't have a single redeeming quality about it. And OMG, if Flight Deck actually switched to vest restraints, it would *immediately* shoot to near the top of what the park has to offer; such as it is, it's currently good for little more than giving concussions.

I have some GREAT memories of Psychlone at Magic Mountain. Those were the most comfortable seats I have ever experienced on any coaster with massive padding on the lap bars. Also, the thing that sticks out in my memory is the drops got steeper half way down! That meant that there was an incredible airtime surprise while you were accelerating at an extreme downward angle. It was fast and you could watch the curves sway under the train weight as you exited. I have to say that this is the coaster that made me a fanatic for woodie coasters. Years after Psychlone closed, Magic Mountain would reuse some of the trains for the "Backwards Colossus" periods when they did their Halloween seasons. They'd pull out these old Psychlone trains and it would almost have me in tears. Rode in the front row (as Psychlone) on one of these trains with Leonardo DiCaprio once when his girlfriend didn't want to ride with him. Ah, memories. R.I.P. Psychlone.

I only rode Corkscrew to say I’ve ridden everything at CP, it’s worse than Blue Streak

[@N617A]

There are 2 coasters basically: speed/airtime and centrifugal. What makes them different is the focus of the ride. Is it focused on essentially spinning the entire ride? (Tons of helixes, turns, loops, corkscrews etc...) or is it focusing on speed hills and airtime? These can have loops and inversions but they aren’t the primary focus. (For example, steel vengeance has an inversion, but it’s still a speed airtime coaster.) I have trouble on centrifugal coasters. I love speed/airtime ones!

Timewarp and Flight Deck need to sent to the scrapyard. Getting rid of both of them opens a nice plot for a good major coaster.

[@chrysiarose]

I can't remember which coaster it was, years ago, but it was a stand up coaster that had the side head piece restraints. The jerkiness and hitting my ears against the sides caused my new ear piercings to rip out (four piercing studs) and I got off a bleeding mess. This caused the park employees to take me to get cleaned up and get some free stuff, but the look on some people's faces who were waiting to ride was like, "Oh, no!" I was never able to get compensated for one torn earlobe, not even the doctor's bills paid.

[@shawnpitman876]

Was this at Canada's Wonderland? If so it was Skyrider, and you'll be happy to know its gone.

[@bigred22685]

Viper (Great Adventure), when it actually operated, was a damn torture device. This was way back before Great Adventure had a great lineup of coasters so pickings were slim. Thankfully it broke so often that SF demolished it and built El Toro in its place and now SFGA is a fantastic park for coasters.

[@AnotherSwissYoutubeUser]

I don’t consider the coaster bad, just uncomfortable. I still enjoy riding it but I still have a few complaints. EURO MIR -1st drop is a big no shaky as heck. -Restraints are ok but due to the shakiness you can hit your knees sometimes which hurts. -The transition in the last turn is also just jerky which causes you to hit your knees on the restraints. -The brakerun is extremely abrupt, it feels like a car crash no joke. -Oh and if you ride the whole thing backwards, it makes it 10 times worse. If they would just retrack the coaster and give it new trains, it would be alright.

I just had to laugh when you mentioned The Predator as the worst wooden....Darien Lake was the park I grew up near and I remember seeing commercials on TV in 1990 about The Predator. My dad waited 2.5 hours to ride it (I was too young) and while my dad had a bad back, it made it worse and he said never again...i have been on it probably about 40-50 times in my life and while it's rough, I always liked it...they did a retrack of it like a year ago in the worst area, but if RMC gets there hands on it, I'll go back up to visit family and go ride it.

I agree, Scott. The Great Nor'Easter at Morey's Piers is also my favorite of the SLCs

It not only has the new restraints, but it also has a new track as of 2017 and rides pretty smooth for what it is. I was able to ride it several times in a row without any pain whatsoever. It's also usually walk-on during summer weekdays, which is rare at SFGA. I had much more fun with it than the Batman: The Ride clones.

So here's a story about Grizzly from my dad who worked as a coaster mechanic at CGA when it was owned by Paramount. Apparently the guy who was in charge of building it was promised an expensive sports car if he could get it built earlier and cheaper than scheduled. So this guy basically cut a bunch of corners and hired any random dude off the street to build it. The coaster isn't built as well as it could be. Apparently a lot of the structure is slightly off so it doesn't ride as well as it could if it had been built properly.
