Top 25 Worst Roller Coasters in the World (2020)

I love roller coasters. This is why I visit amusement parks across the world. But every so often, I come across a roller coaster so bad that I never want to ride it again. Maybe it was boring. Maybe it was rough. Or maybe it was both. In this video, I count down the top 25 worst roller coasters I have ever ridden.

I don't know why, but I actually like getting a friend or two together to ride painful coasters together. We're just laughing at each other the whole time! It feels like we're on some kind of out of control adventure sledding down a volcano instead of riding a roller coaster lol

I rode Coast Rider with my mom back in 2019, it was the one ride there that she and I both agreed never to ride again after that visit. We went to ride the Wild Mouse at Lagoon last year and it was an infinitely better experience not having to deal with the shin restraints. Well done on the list!

Coast Rider with the original restraints was boring but smooth.

'El Condor' at Walibi Holland was one rough as hell. It made me kind of afraid for inverted coasters in general. I am glad that they've got new carts a few months ago because many people complained about their bad headaches and neck pains.

That one was bad with the old trains, but I only wanted to list one SLC on this list and Blue Tornado was worse.

[@arturobianco848]

Not sure they are an improvement. I didn't really mind the headbanging that much. They should have added the side bars like the ones they have at speed of sound. With just the vest restraines i was tossed around like a ragdoll. Kind of fun but totally unreridable did just 2 rides in it. Now if they add the bars so you can hold on to something to brace yourself it would actually be a fun coaster.

[@BassGuitarSlide]

The absolutely worst coaster I rode was the SLC prototype, "El Condor" at Walibi Holland. It had brutal headbanging and was extremely rough. I also despise the "Viking Coaster" at Energylandia (a Spinning Mouse with OSTR - WTF?!?) or the Volare at Wiener Prater, which is also awfully incomfortable...

[@CanobieCoaster]

I rode Viking Coaster after making this list and it would have made it.

[@tessabakker662]

El Condor is a disaster and it needs to be put out of its' misery. Another AWFUL Vekoma SLC is *MP* *Xpress* at Movie Park Germany. Rickety, outdated, rough restraints with plenty of head-banging, and the elements are jammed so close together after a lousy first drop that you don't even pick up much speed. Its' immediate neighbor, MPG's Bandit (a classic Woodie) is *also* a rough ride owing to its' age and coaster type, but I found it an infinitely more enjoyable rollercoaster. It actually manages to move at a thrilling speed, and if you know how to anticipate on its' turns, you won't come away with bruises. The same cannot be said, in *any* measure, for MP Xpress. If you're anywhere but on the dead first row, you won't have a clue which elements are coming up next - and your braincase will be paying dearly for it. Bandit could be rescued by turning it into a steel-track hybrid, but MP Xpress just needs to be torn down. Judging by reviews of Movie Park Germany, management is unlikely to do *either;* most of their 'revamp' work on their coasters consists of a quick re-paint that starts flaking back off again within months, and these two rides aren't the only two we felt were facing neglect.

[@coasterdaddy7123]

The only Mack bobsled I've been on is Avalanche at Kings Dominion (the only one in North America). I agree that it is pretty bumpy because of how the trough is designed on the Mack version, but I really enjoyed it and even took a couple more rides. I thought it was a rather fun family coaster. Unfortunately it probably won't be around for a whole lot longer.

[@marcussheen]

I never had a problem with Coaster Express, so maybe I've been lucky, but it was still dull as hell so is a perfect candidate to be RMC'd anyway. The ones that come to mind for me are King (Foire du Trone - great layout but terrible trains), Bandit (Movie Park Germany - rough as hell) and MP Express at the same park which seemed particularly bad by SLC standards.

[@CanobieCoaster]

MP Express is probably the second or third worst SLC I've ridden. Bandit was bumpy, but it was too slow to cause pain for me.

[@tessabakker662]

I liked Bandit (although I am the only one out of our ride party of 3 who had a good time - the roughness is indeed very present and requires the rider to apply opposite force from where they are seated if bruising is to be avoided) but MP Xpress is a miscreant of the highest order, and we all unanimously agreed never to go near that abomination again. There are GREAT suspended coasters (Phantasialand's Black Mamba is my favourite suspended ride - is it any wonder that it's *not* a Vekoma? It's an Inverted Roller Coaster by Bolliger & Mabillard), but MP Xpress needs a total overhaul or sweet death.

[@zanti4132]

Six Flags Over Georgia used to have a wooden coaster called the Georgia Cyclone that would really beat you up. I thought my discomfort on the ride was just a sign of old age creeping up on me, but my teenage daughter also thought it was too rough. They did close the ride in 2017, replacing it with a steel coaster called the Twisted Cyclone, and I have to believe the switch was made to give a more pleasant ride experience.

[@CanobieCoaster]

[@faisalalmalki9163]

[@maxhagenauer24]

I 100% agree with the Vekoma Boomerangs with arrow trains, I specifically mean Boomerang at one of my home parks Six Flags st louis. I can't bare to understand how it makes sense for a coaster to be this bad. Literally, the amount of headbanging is horrendous and that second catch car lift which I call the death car lift hill is the worst part of the ride. You fly into your restraint like you are being launched backwards. Image a lift hill that stops but the closest anti rollback tooth is 2 feet behind the train. Edit: it also broke my dad's glasses

I forgot that one had an Arrow train, but that's another bad one. I have only ridden that one once.

I tend to agree.

[@cancercentral9997]

If we're referring to the major non-knockoff (China) manufacturers, then I may actually agree with that. Most other manufacturers have gems, or positives. Pinfari made rough rides, but they are influential in helping popularise steel coasters (especially in small parks and in travelling fairs) and they also made a few innovations here and there. But RCCA made mostly airtimeless, rough, often poorly tracked and somewhat boring twisters that seem to have a helix fetish. Rattler was abysmal, the trackwork in it originally was pathetic and shameful. Just look at povs of the early ride, its awful. They also were a bit scummy, or so I've read. (once)

[@Lucy31315]

Last time I went to Canadas wonderland my group insisted we go on flight deck, despite me warning them about the notoriously rough ride, which was not helped by the hard restraints.

My Twisted Colossus has shin guards too but those don’t jack up my knees like Coast Rider does. And yes it’s a combo of that shin guard and it cramped that make it a bad ride

Only ride I know that got way worse after a retrack.

[@mateoalvira3514]

What do you think about Thunderhawk at Dorney Park, rougher than Coaster Express at Parque Warner Madrid?

[@CanobieCoaster]

No

[@micoasters]

9:17 that’s the same layout as the dragon wagon at my local fair. I came off that one with a large gash on my knee and multiple on my legs. So I’m guessing roughness is an issue with that particular layout

[@CanobieCoaster]

Yes and the number of laps.

[@CivilianSatellite]

I go back and forth between which I dislike more: boring and forgettable, or painful yet memorable. I haven't ridden Coaster Express, but it somehow seems to combine all four traits. Fingers crossed the SLC going up in Iowa doesn't run like Blue Tornado.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I've only seen the unpadded OSTRs on Blue Tornado. I'm hoping the one in Iowa gets vest restraints.

[@bigc1280]

I forgot about this, but as a bigger guy, Gotham City Gauntlet at Six Flags New England felt like it was going to break my ribs! Because of how i sit the edge of the coaster seat/train digs right into my ribs. Going around those switchbacks felt like a knife digging into me and when i got off i was checking to see if I broke a rib! That hurt like hell and I hate all switchbacks to this day! I would rather ride the janky Galaxy model any day over that, as at least it did not try to break me!

[@CanobieCoaster]

Those wild mice coasters feel cramped even for me and I'm just 5'9".

[@ocolotest168]

Wildcat at frontier city made me feel like a needle was in my heart at the brakes

[@CanobieCoaster]

That one is more boring than rough for me.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

What do you think about Hurler at Carowinds and Hurler at Kings Dominion? worse than Canyon Blaster at Great Escape, Wildcat at Lake Compounce, Boulder Dash at Lake Compounce, and Tiger Express at Washington State Fair?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Hurler is slow, but not brutal like Wildcat or Tiger Express. Canyon Blaster is more boring.

[@mitchellries256]

My least favorite is Hurler at Kings Dominion. Thank goodness they turned it into Twisted Timbers. After watching your favorite 50 amusement parks, it got me wondering if you had considered talking about your least favorite as well?

[@CanobieCoaster]

The reason I hesitate to rank least favorite amusement parks is that it depends what you count (ex. when do FECs count) and one bad visit could heavily weight the ranking.

[@coasterhockygamingboy9549]

@@CanobieCoaster funcenters with 1 roller coaster and is 75% arcade doesn’t count

[@wsmith2401]

once when i was a kid my friend took me to this fair and made me marathon this...idk how to describe this coaster it was so long ago (approx 2007-9 but middle of nowhere kansas no idea how old it could have been) and it's nothing like im familiar with..kind of like a kids wild mouse? like really small and compact 5-15 ft tall but a good amount of elements in there. i don't remember if it was wooden or not but it definitely had no colors. anyway it was brutal, super rough, i just remember bracing myself lol, i hated it every time but i think it was technically my first credit.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Sounds like a Zamperla mini mouse/Fiesta Express.

[@theughost4991]

My least favorite in Sweden is in grona lund and is called the wild mouse. It’s like some of the coasters you showed and in every turn you get slammed against the side and it’s just really painful to ride, it has ups and downs but the legs usually hurt after riding it along with your thighs and a headache.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I enjoyed that one. I also like laterals though

[@falloutfan6649]

13:00 what is it with RCCA and those long drawn out helixes? Which one is worse that one or the Rose Bowl of Son of Beast?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I never rode Son of Beàst, but they look comparable.

[@mateoalvira3514]

I know watching in RCDB a lot of standard layout SLCs. What do you think about Condor at Walibi Holland (old trains) Kong at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Ednör l'Attaque at La Ronde Gauntlet at Magic Springs Vampire at Walibi Belgium Riddler's Revenge at Six Flags New England (and before) MP Xpress at Movie Park Germany and how many SLCs have you ridden? did you like them? I'm also referring to the traditional over the shoulder restraints?

[@CanobieCoaster]

I hate most of those rides. Riddler Revenge with the new restraints is ok and Gauntlet isn't too bad.

[@DCombz]

Vortex makes Kiddy Hawk seem pleasurable, did we go to the same Carowinds? It's my home park and I've seen girls get their earrings torn out on it on two separate occasions the headbanging is so violent. I've never experienced pain on Carolina Goldrusher but it could be because I'm not a super tall guy or something idk. The thing about mine trains in general is you'll get shin/thigh pain if two really small kids are in the front of your car because a lot of them adjust to fit the first of the two to three rows in a car. I think Cedar Creek Mine Train is the worst to the shins.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have a video how to ride B&M stand-ups, but I like Vortex. The key is to get the restraint below ear-level (jamming it into your shoulders). That way your head doesn't hit anything.

[@spentron1]

Disagree with Goldrusher. I put it at #5 at Carowinds so that leaves half the park worse. No rougher than Trailblazer and more enjoyable as a coaster. Plus it's right in the center of the park and connects everything together. Those odd seat pads do redefine "edge of your seat" though haha. My worst list would be a list of flying coasters, followed by B&M standups. Although perhaps fliers have some redeeming value in the humor aspect of them.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I enjoy flyers, but I agree they have some weird forces. I used to hate B&M stand-ups until I figured out how to ride them (made a video on getting the restraint down).

[@jtwoolley]

what is the hershey wildcat going to be called?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Wildcat's Revenge.

[@mateoalvira7826]

What differences between the RMC shin guards and the Coast Rider shin guards?

[@CanobieCoaster]

The Coast Rider ones come down way further.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

Coast Rider, the Mack wild mouse coaster at Knott's Berry Farm, was placed in this video. Coast Rider is a Mack wild mouse large park model. Another installation of the Mack wild mouse large park model is Fly at Canada's Wonderland, but that one was not placed in this video.

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was not.

[@Coaster-Toaster]

It´s pretty hard to say which are the worst coasters in the world. I mean, there are a lot boring ones (Schweizer Bobbahn or Carolina Goldrusher for example), but are they the worst? I can understand many of your list. I would add Thundercoaster at Tusenfryd (because of the Timberliner trains), Vortex at Carowinds, King at french funfairs and Viking Roller Coaster at Energylandia. ^^

[@CanobieCoaster]

I've yet to ride Thundercoaster, King, or Viking, but I enjoy Vortex since I've found a way to ride B&M stand-ups where my ears clear the top of the OSTR to avoid headbanging.

[@rama30]

The Goldrusher at carowinds was my first coaster and I love it to this day.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I liked it better last year, but it's still a weak ride for me.

[@jehovahswitnessesquestions1697]

California's Great America used to have a stand-up coaster that would box your ears so bad, my friends and I rode it once, and never again! I think it was called Iron Wolf.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Vortex was ok.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Vampire at Walibi Belgium has still the over the shoulder restraints, as that is a Vekoma SLC. Was that worse than Blue Tornado at Gardaland?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Blue Tornado is worse since the padding is harder.

[@genericnameryan]

I'm really glad I wasn't able to ride Nightmare at the Great Escape. But surprised to see Canyon Blaster from there, and really surprised to see Carolina Gold Rusher too. I found Carowinds' mine train to be pretty intense and fun. Also Kiddy Hawk is definitely my least favorite coaster ever. It managed to be boring and painful.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I find Canyon Blaster and Goldrusher to be rather boring and jerky, which is why they made the list. At least some of the other mine trains are smooth or give a surprise pop of airtime.

[@genericnameryan]

@@CanobieCoaster Thats fair. Canyon Blaster is pretty boring except the final helix. I found Carolina Goldrusher to be pretty fun though but I see why its unenjoyable.

[@CanobieCoaster]

@@genericnameryan The other problem is that when Canyon Blaster builds up speed in that helix, it has those jolts between levels.

[@genericnameryan]

@@CanobieCoaster That is definitely true. I actually completely forgot about the jolting. It seems I finally found my guilty pleasure coaster model lol.

[@AdamSmith-gs2dv]

@@CanobieCoaster Don't forget the nice slams you get when you transition from the old track to new track

[@mateoalvira7826]

Which trains in the Goliath at Six Flags New England did you like more, the original trains or the premier rides trains?

[@CanobieCoaster]

The original, easily.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

LOL someone who like Zamperla Volares :O That is a rare find :)

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have clearance with the restraints so it may be my body type.

[@gemnifan6045]

I think they get too much hate also not saying they are good though ive only riden time warp at wonderland but its not the worst ive riden it an ok coaster but not bad like everyone says

[@mateoalvira3514]

Number 13: Nightmare at Crack Axle Canyon at Great Escape. This was an indoor Schwarzkopf Jet Star. I enjoyed Tigr'r at Indiana Beach, but the one at Great Escape...

[@CanobieCoaster]

That ride was a disaster. Rough and low throughput.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Were the suspended upside down moments of Sequoia Magic Loop at Gardaland comfortable, uncomfortable, or how?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Awkward and uncomfortable with the restraints.

[@cliquet3scliquet3s96]

What do you think about Ricochet at Carowinds and Coast Rider at Knott's Berry Farm?

[@CanobieCoaster]

Ricochet is decent. Coast Rider is awful.

[@micoasters]

Now I know range is rough but I appreciate the history behind the herchell designs, so I would put some more points for that

[@CanobieCoaster]

Their other smaller coasters are fine.

[@graysonlichtenthaler5210]

late to the party but i'd like to throw Hurricane at Fun Spot America: Atlanta into the mix. rode it about 2 weeks ago for the credit and i genuinely was afraid in the back row because of the lack of trim brakes and the fact that several points of the track looked misaligned while i was riding. got the credit but never again

[@CanobieCoaster]

I like that ride, but it is janky.

[@mateoalvira3514]

Number 11: Apocalypse at Six Flags America. The floorless conversion to Firebird was a vast improvement if you ask me. In its old form the original B&M stand up was decent and ok.

[@CanobieCoaster]

The old form was rougher.

[@planetdragon5648]

Have you been on Bandit at Movie Park Germany? It's kinda notorious here for the insane rattle and janks.

[@CanobieCoaster]

I have. It wasn't good, but it moved too slowly to cause me real pain.

[@planetdragon5648]

Yeah, I get that.

[@mateoalvira7826]

The SLC at La Ronde has the same restraints at the SLC at Gardaland?

[@CanobieCoaster]

No La Ronde's are softer by your ears.

[@Soonjai]

I absolutely agree on Blue Tornado being the worst SLC, even the already terrible El Condor at Walibi Holland feels much better than the Gardaland abomination. But weirdly enough on my ride in 2017 that extra Helix they have on Blue Tornado felt super smooth.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Even if that one helix is smooth, the rest of the ride isn't.

[@mateoalvira7826]

Which mean streak were you referring the back row of mean streak?

[@CanobieCoaster]

It was an old and very rough wood coaster at Cedar Point.

[@cycloid2326]

I feel like the boomerangs with Ve-Coma trains that have those massive shoulder restraints are much worse than the ones with Arrow trains.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Those ones seem to track better, but I agree the trains tend to be more cramped.

[@Yikes_its_Psychs]

The only good boomerangs are the ones with the new MK-1212 trains (the train found on Sidewinder at Hersheypark, Flying Cobras at Carowinds, Python at Efteling).

[@Idkwhattoputheretbh558]

If you don’t mind me asking, how many credits do you have?

[@mateoalvira7826]

In the video of top 25 worst roller coasters in the world (2020) from Canobie Coaster, Coast Rider at Knott's Berry Farm was included. Coast Rider is a Mack wild mouse coaster from the large park model. But no other installations like the Legoland ones were in the video.

[@CanobieCoaster]

Coast Rider is the only wild mouse that is extremely painful.
