"Never Ride Again" Coasters
In reading so many Trip Reports and posts, I always notice the complaints of headaches, pain, etc accompanying certain rough rides. That said, are there any coasters that you refuse to board again, even if you "need" to ride a coaster? We've all heard of the notorious DRACHEN FIRE reports, has anybody that rode it decided they never would again (if it reopened)?
My "never ride agains" right now are:
Outer Limits FOF (Both PKI & PKD)
Joker's Jinx (SFA)
Ninja (SF Over GA)
All of these could re-enter my yes list if they re-thought the restraints, but for now... not again...
Who else has "never ride agains"?

Sorry but I have never ridden a coaster that I'll never ride again,unless you're refering to a coaster being demolished.
For the time being heres a couple that I dislike the Iron Dragon and Disaster Transport due to lack of thrills.Their about as close to a never ride again coaster that I can think of.

He means a coaster that hurts.
As for me, I really dislike Hercules at Dorney Park. It is very fickle. Sometimes it delivers a painful, back-cracking, pelvis punishing ride. Sometimes it delivers a decent, but still rough ride. The latter happens less frequently. Vekoma boomerangs can be rough, but I still ride them. The Wildcat has spoken.

I always say Ill never ride OLFOFat PKD but eveytime I go I try it again.I guess its just
wishfull thinking on my part that they will do something with the restraints to make it less painfull. If not for the restraints it would be an awsome ride. Same goes fo jokers jinx which as someone said is the exact same ride. As fo Drachen Fire I would ride that again in a heart beat. I thought that was an awsome ride. What was the major compplaint with that ride.

Shame Shame I have been on some rough rides but will never refuse the chance to ride again. Roller Coasters have a temper sometimes also and if you choose to ride you should beable to accept that you might walk off with a headache. And or Bloody ears if you choose to wear earings on a ride with head restraints. But realistically speaking the allure of rollercoasters use to be greater if it was known to "hurt people" and today we see parks shutting down and tearring down good rides because they are affraid of getting hit with a lawsuite because the mind eraser caused someone to lose their memory(LOL).
So If you don't like the ride and feel that it may be too intense don't ride. That is usually why they rate the rides as intense. Would you expect a Ski Resort to be reliable if someone broke there leg going down the "Black Diamond".
The answer is no. So Take your own responsibility if you can't take the Black Diamond stay On the Bunny Hills. Or we will start to see waiver forms to sign before we ride coasters and disclaimers agreeing to our bodily harm before we enter park.
Oh yeah No Offense was meant in this post. Nobody was hurt in the making of this Post. And Most of Importance No animals were harmed in the experimentation of this post.
I will ride the "Tylenol Express" every time I enter the gates of WOF no matter how many times it gave me a headache.

If I need a coaster fix, a bad experience will not keep me off a coaster. However if I am at a park like Cedar Point, I will use my time wisely.
Outer limits Flight of Fear is rough but the great launch makes worth while. Steel Phantom I will not ride even had I the chance though.
