For me, it is Gold Rusher and the original Colossus at Six Flags Magic Mountain as well as rows 1 and 4 on the Matterhorn Bobsleds at Disneyland. On most steel coasters that I have been on, they would normally be a one and done if they are too rough almost every time I go (and in the case of Matterhorn, rows 2 and 5 are the worst rows to sit in thanks to very little leg room). As for the original Colossus, I found the roughness on that ride to be enjoyable for the most part. For Gold Rusher, even though the back row beats me up every time I go on it, I can easily ride it repeatedly thanks to the ride having the shortest line out of all the big coasters in the park.

[@gtrlyfe1012]

I would say El Toro and Skyrush are the two toughest coasters that I love. I’ll ride them over and over again despite the roughness, because I don’t find them painful or uncomfortable, just not smooth, if that makes sense. Also, their layouts are fun, unlike a coaster like Magnum XL-200 I didn’t like as much as others because it was rough, uncomfortable, and the layout was not that exciting for me. Then you have the real dumpster fires like Firebird and Green Lantern which are just painful and I don’t plan to ever re-ride those. I’d say, that’s the line lol.

[@kevinthompson6986]

Stand up coasters are an accuired taste oh unless you are talking about the other free spin one

[@EmeraldBayMovies]

Gold Striker is the perfect amount of roughness. Beast before the retrack was too rough for me.

[@southeasternthrills]

I haven't ridden the Beast since it's been retracked but, it was arguably the worst coaster I've ridden.

[@Mechum22]

Totally agree about Gold Striker. I enjoyed it a little more when it ran smoothly during its first couple seasons, but the roughness it's developed kind of accentuates the wildness of the layout.

[@willlima1297]

Boulder Dash is one of those for me. Even with more titan track added it has bad spots still in the valleys but its still a great ride. Also, I'd prefer gravity group to retrack it rather than adding more titan track

@@KIKoasterKid hell yeah, the beast is attacking you at night

[@MattMcIrvin]

My mind immediately went to Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce. In principle this ought to be one of the best woodies in the world. In practice, the last time I rode it I just couldn't fully enjoy it, it was so rough. (To be fair, that was before the most recent rounds of retracking.) Canobie Coaster still rates it as the best ride in New England. I think his roughness tolerance is just way higher than mine. Then again, when I rode Stampida at PortAventura, I'd heard all sorts of people complaining about how rough it was, and I didn't really have a problem with it. So I think this is a lot like tolerance for spicy food--it varies over orders of magnitude. (Also, the same coaster can give you radically different rides on different days.)

[@EmeraldBayMovies]

Canobie Coaster is also a kid. Kids generally have a higher tolerance than adults.

[@colintca0949]

As much as I love El Toro, I have to limit my rides on it so that I can sit down the next day without it killing me.

[@cottoncandyjellybean8539]

Sit in row 17 or any other non wheel seat. It’s one of the smoothest out there. If you sit in a wheel seat it’s easily one of the roughest.

[@Carowindsxantonio]

Hurler IMO provides some decent floater on some hills but severe jackhammering

[@southeasternthrills]

After riding Hades 360 in the back row I felt like I just got a concussion. It definitely should get either GCI titan track or the Gravity Goup's pre-cut track.

[@ThrillSeekersandHellRaisers]

Or RMC it.

[@southeasternthrills]

@@ThrillSeekersandHellRaisers The layout is already perfect in my opinion.

[@ThrillSeekersandHellRaisers]

@@southeasternthrills It crawls at the end. It would benefit from the RMC treatment because then it might actually get some airtime rather than the 'airtime' from being unbearably rough.

[@jojorice]

Great American Scream Machine at SFoG. Granted I havnt been in a few years and Ive heard it's been improved recently.

[@southeasternthrills]

It's much smoother now

[@captainfordgunz1995]

My list is still growing, but so far for me it's the Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Over Georgia. They retracked it sometime in 2022, and before that it was absolutely brutal, and borderline unbearable. It still feels its age, but now it's a bit smoother, and I can really enjoy the air time.

[@southeasternthrills]

I'd say now Great American Scream Machine has the perfect amount of roughness.

[@captainfordgunz1995]

@@southeasternthrills It really does. I used to be scared to ride it, and some of my friends who are used to the more extreme levels of coaster, wouldn't even get on it. That told me a lot, but now I can safely say that it is a lot more fun. So glad to see that they're taking better care of it.

[@Dryzer89]

Definitely Leviathan at Sea World, Australia. I just hope that the park can maintain it and keep it from getting too rough.

[@Coppertine_]

yeah, i find that a minor headache would happen on every ride, so i did have to space it out. but the station is really good tho

[@Mr._Kagle]

After my visit to Holiday World yesterday, I realized that all three of the park's wooden coasters fall into this category. They're incredible rides, but the forces (especially the laterals) are too strong for repeat rides to be easy. With regards to roughness, Shivering Timbers takes the cake. It's unbearably rough, but the airtime is so good.

[@thecoasterauthority]

The old grizzly at KD before the 2023 gravity group retracking was UNBEARABLE. I also just rode roar at SFA and Stampida at PortAventura, and they were both pretty rough but could’ve been worse

I recently went to Silverwood and got to ride 2 more modern wooden roller coasters than the one at Lagoon, but that also meant that I rode my first rough coaster ever in Timber Terror. I really liked it, but the valleys were too rough that my parents got massive headaches, and my brother had to sit out for a while *I could keep going though*

My first coaster ever was Screamer at Boblo Island. Later known as Corkscrew at Playland in Vancouver. Appeared in Final Destination 3. It was a mid-80s Vekoma MK-1200. With hard plastic over-the-shoulder restraints, and I was about ten years old, so headbanging was unavoidable. To me, anything less rough than that is just fine. In fact, if a coaster's too *smooth*, I don't enjoy it as much--I feel like a really good coaster oughta rough you up a little.

[@TheNinjaDC]

Hades is rough, but as you said. You can space it out. Mine Blower on the other hand is way too rough to get more than one ride comfortably in a night. Which sucks as it as a phenomenal layout. They need to just ditch the wood, and fully convert it to Ibox 208 track. It can be a 1 to 1 track replacement as the layout is amazing, but too aggressive for wood.

[@MattMcIrvin]

The lap bar on Phobia Phear Coaster didn't give me trouble, but I seem less sensitive to tight lap restraints than most enthusiasts are--they just don't bother me that much (Superman: The Ride is a notorious example). What I noticed was the strong lateral whip on the twists that kept the train upright through most of the ride. Phobia doesn't have the comfort collars, but I remember thinking that I saw why people didn't like them--I wouldn't want to have my upper body constrained by anything, going through those.

[@G3R0George]

For me, It's modern El Toro. It's in need of a retrack for the S-curve/Twister section. The beginning is epic but after the Rolling Thunder Hill, it absolutely demolishes my spine. Tonnerre 2 Zeus at Parc Asterix is great most of the way through and I haven't recieved enough pain to put me off from reriding, but the pops of airtime before the lightning tunnel hurt my pelvis so bad from bouncing up and down.
