There's also a Vekoma SLC in Blackpool Pleasure Beach called Infusion, Britain's first Water Rollercoaster, which was once the Traumatizer in Southport Pleasureland. The shoulder restraints and the roughness are like any other Vekoma SLC Coaster, so you're not missing much. Just letting you know of one.

1:31 For those of you who are unfamiliar, a block zone is a section of ride that only one train may occupy at a time. At the end of a block zone there is a method to stop the train, in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system that prevents rollercoaster trains from colliding with one another.

"Danger Zone" by Kenny Loggins worked for Flight Deck. It really was the "danger zone" for riders. I've ridden two SLCs which were at Elitch Gardens in 2021 and Six Flags Mexico in 2024. However, the one at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom was closed when I went in 2021.

I used to work at Discovery Kingdom when it was Marine World. Kong is totally the laughing stock of the employees there. My best friend used to run it and the complaints were unreal even then. Now, it is the one ride in the park that I skip every time. I live 10 minutes from the park and when friends come to visit and we go, I let them ride it alone to experience the pain. If the headbanging wasn't enough, the inversions are totally rough and jerk you side to side. Ride everything else in the park but skip this one, it is so not worth the headache.

About Euromir in Krakow: I feel responsible for his place in the bottom list as me and my travel companions put it at the bottom of our top. Why? Because the lap bars are dangerous, the sound of the ride is terrifying, and most of all: the front of each seat is too narrow for a normal adult to sit. So the knees hit the sharp edge of the car at EVERY TURN OR CHANGE OF SPEED. My knees were almost bleeding, i never suffured that bad in a roller coaster. I had pain to walk for days, and red scratches were still visible after 3 days. This is the only credit i know i will never ride again, better skip the cred next time i find one of these.

If you're looking for a great flying coaster, go to Six Flags Magic Mountain and ride Tatsu. It's one of the best coasters I've been on! The ride is smooth, the restraints comfortable, and loading and unloading is relatively quick, making the wait time easy. Also, when I was there, I could tell the attendants were having a blast with their job, making as many puns and rhymes as possible to get people hyped. I rode it in March (2024) and rode it about 4 times on that trip. :)

The weird launch coaster, it's not too bad. The Viking coaster, it was absolutely horrible and I remember thinking to myself "That might actually be the worst coaster I've ever ridden" and went to the hotel after. Made the SLC seem like a god send and The Viking was closed due to an issue and I was bummed, little did I know that was a kindness I should not of ignored. Energylandia is a weird park, in some places it's world class and in others it's a horrific carnival attraction with some cool theming.

The name isn't just for show, you'll definitely feel like your brain has been scrambled by the end with how awfully rough they are. For a while Elitch Gardens also had a flying coaster like Volare, and it was great until one season it just kept slamming to a halt at the block zones. It closed due to a storm later that day and never reopened. Then we moved to Dallas, and I got to experience some incredible rides.

The helix and especially the exit from it is just violent. I have hurt my neck on it. This pretty much never changed, not even when it was on the fair circuit back then. And yes, even there we got two laps. I only rode this a lot because there aren't a ton of looping coasters in the area. Btw the Boomerang in the same park is surprisingly smooth.

Viking at Energylandia isn't too bad tbh. There's no need for the restraints but it's such a controlled ride that it doesnt feel rough or painfui at all, just dull.

1:33 “For those of you who are unfamiliar, a block zone is a section of roller coaster that only one train may occupy. At the end off a block zone is a method to stop a train in case the block zone ahead is still occupied. This is the safety system the prevents roller coaster trains fromm colliding into one another.” -El Toro Ryan

I rode Flight Deck about 20 years as a teenager when my family visited Canada's Wonderland. I was already a pretty big coaster enthusiast and had up until that point swore I'd never ride an SLC due to their reputation for roughness. Same reason I only rode Ninja at Six Flags over Georgia once despite it being my home park and visiting many times, though I've heard it's improved a lot in recent years. Anyway, I remember the roller coaster being the first one we came across when entering the park, and despite me insisting I didn't want to ride it, my dad and brother egged me on and convinced me it wouldn't be that bad. Well, it was indeed terrible. Worst headbanging I ever experienced on a roller coaster. And since at the time I was particularly prone to migraines, this triggered a full on migraine where I felt completely nauseous with a pounding headache for the rest of the day. As a result, I was only able to stomach riding a couple more coasters that day and completely missed out on riding many of them on what was my family's first and only visit to Canada. So, yeah, that roller coaster is definitely up there with the worst for me as it completely ruined my visit to the park. Even though I don't think the roughness would effect me nearly as much these days, I absolutely refuse to ever ride another SLC again on principle alone.

#3 time warp at Canada's Wonderland is the only ride that ever made me sick after the ride. In all honesty I was probably concussed. It is the worst ride in the park by far. It probably the only ride I would not miss. The Flight deck restraints are awkward for me, I am at a half not due to my height loose on the restraint which make my lower body feel like I could possibly fall out of the ride/less the seat belt. There is room at my chest but my shoulders prevent the bar from going lower. I am only 5ft10 its weird I don't fit.

I quite enjoyed Viking Roller Coaster. Yes it's super rough but it's laughable how bad the coaster is. If Energylandia keep the ride they should use the "worlds worst coaster " as marketing. Although it really should be a fair ground coaster rather than at a top tier park like Energylandia.

From the 20 lowest ranked operating coasters on Captain Coasters, I’ve only ridden Mind Eraser at Elitch Gardens, which from my experience I’ve enjoyed the collection of forces provided by the inversions in the front row based on the sudden bursts of sustained positives and laterals on all of the inversions and that I’ve tolerated all of the roughness except the final transition into the brake run, along with little to no headbanging that I’ve experienced. Although I would understand why someone else may be detracted by the experience for those who may be more vulnerable to constant and semi aggressive shakiness with the bulky over the shoulder restraints.

I was surprised that the Original Wildcat at Hersheypark wasn’t on this list. That coaster was SO rough and so jerky that it ruined coasters for me for a half a decade. I gave coasters a shot again when I rode Silver Bullet at Knott’s Berry Farm a few summers ago. #originalwildcatsurvivorsclub

Wildcat wasn't smooth, but it was more boring than anything else. Lightning Racer doesn't have much of a layout either, but at least has the racing element.

5:23 this style roller coaster comes to the LA County Fair every year, and I can tell you it's the roughest, worst roller coaster I've ever been on, and I rode the roller coaster at Scandia in Southern California. They literally made us wait for enough people to get on, because it had to weigh enough or it would not make it back to the station....

I haven't been on most of these coasters, but I have been on Flight Deck and Time Warp. Flight Deck wasn't that bad, and I'm surprised to see it on this list. I enjoyed it, but I'll admit my friend didn't seem to like it as much. We both agreed though that the over the shoulder restraints were uncomfortable. Maybe if they replaced the restraints with something comfier Flight Deck will get a better reputation, because the layout is intense and fun. As for Time Warp, the only thing I like about that ride is the spiral lift hill. The rest of the ride sucked. The cars were awkward to be in as well as get in and out of. The track was rough, the transitions hurt, and the inversions were just ok. I honestly would be completely fine if I heard that this coaster was being torn down.

I went on the wild wind model (cobra and star loop in this video) about 8 years ago while on holiday in tunisia. Happened to be in a hotel right next to a park that had only this, a wacky worm and a fabbri evolution in it. The wild wind was definitely fun, i rode it quite a few times but yeah. Rough as hell. Can understand it being on here and do think when clicking it’d b funny if this/ this model showed up. Can absolutely attest
@OverlordZeroULTIMA14 күн бұрын
I can see the worm one being hated simply to the lack of thrills, maybe? I'd feel like most coaster fans would want the thrills and dips of a larger coaster, so they'd just be trying this one for the sake of reviewing them, getting clout, etc. You can't have a roller coaster channel without trying 'em all, ya know? xD

I wonder what Thunder Road at Carowinds would have ranked if it was still operating. The concept of a roller coaster crossing a state line was fun, but the rough ride it gave was not worth it at all. My back was sore for the whole rest of the day after that fiasco.

My uncle and his girlfriend took me on Top Gun twice in a row as soon as we entered the gates. A lucky chance to try the new ride when nobody happened to be around. Figures those scumbags took me on something that sucked. Thanks for clarifying. Then it rained and we got stranded for a bit on that one that goes through the mountain, also pretty new at the time.

I will not forget the fifth grade. Fill trip when we got stuck on a rollercoaster for 30 minutes. It stopped about 50 feet from the unloading platform, and my teacher dropped her video camera while waiting and it went a 100 feet down and the thing broke into like 20 different pieces. I think the i think the VHS statement was still salvageable, where I don't have to keep abusing the power bank, you know?61
