If there is (or was I should say) any coaster that could have caused head injuries it was the Steel Phantom at Kennywood. While it was one heck of a ride, never has any coaster given me headaches like that one...

If you don't want to have any possable chance of getting hurt, then you should take up nitting. Oh, sorry, you might get carpal tunnel from that.
Hell, it's the offseason. ;)

I'm with Shaggy on this one. Big Dipper at Camden Park gets my vote. Since Camden is my home park, I have had more that my fair share of scary instances on this coaster.

*I've been on SLC's that are very dangerous.
*My friend and I took a trip to Cedar Point one day. We rode Blue Streak and my friend's lap bar flew open! I'm serious, it really opened. The strange thing was it locked back into place before we returned to the station.

Yeah, I've ridden Blue Streak at CP probably 15 times and the lapbar has come up on my brother or I at least 3 times.

Is it about coasters or friends? I say both!
Shaggy Mentioned Big Dipper at Camden. I seen some spacer in the track just wobbling around. I do know they have been working alot on it though.
Now Little Dipper litterally had the steel track rotted into the wood.
Chuck, who hopes both these coasters were rectified since his 01 visit.

Pain, (noun): 1.Goudrix 2. The sensations one feels when hurt.
None of those coasters even comes close to the pain felt on Goudrix at Parc Asterix. As I say above, Goudrix is the definition of pain. It even broke the lens on Rob Alvey's(sp?) camera during the ACE European Coaster Odyssey!
Give me Goudurix over Shockwave (ex SFGAm) any day!
And you want unsafe? Haven't there been numerous accidents on River Rapids? Anyone have any idea why most of the Rapids in the UK don't have seatbelts?
