Are enthusiasts too concerned with coaster roughness?

Though they may have had their gap Issues, many of those old Arrows are still running very well. Double Loop ran great in it's last years, and one of the big reasons it was sold for scrap was due to the rails beginning to separate over time. Had Geauga Lake not closed, Double Loop probably would have been finished this season or last, unless they planned on replacing both of the loops and pull-outs.

The wife and I rode Ghostrider in November 08 after it had reopened from its refurbishment.. and I'll tell you what... that was the most jack-hammering thing I had ridden in quite sometime. It beat the heck out of both of us and brought my wife to tears. I was really upset it has gotten so bad, I had a blast on it when we rode it in 2002, but something is terribly wrong with it.

SOB is the other one I just don't like.. its a lot better with the Hurricane Trains, but that rosebowl still does a number on me. The amount of bouncing it does though that section really loses speed and shakes up the riders.
