most painful rollercoaster

I dont mine the headbangs really its when your bang the round and it hurts your ribcage. I guess maybe cause im a litte skinny.

-----------------
Are roller coasters my life? NO, but I certainly like them!

The roughest coaster i was ever on was the blue streak at conneaut lake park. The back two cars deliver the roughest rides, especially the back seat. If u go to conneaut ride in the front car its moderatly smooth.

Viper at Gadv, I'd take a slc any day over this!

Hercules @ Dorney and Son of Beast are definitely the most painful coasters I have ever been on. They are both extremely bumpy and give me a back and headache. I still like riding them but I can't do it one ride right after another.

Ninja at SFOG is just a big headache waiting to happen. I can feel the unbearable pain of headbanging on that piece-of -crap Vekoma.

To me the most painful is the WIndstorm coaster at the former Branson USA park. However I saw people post about some of Arrow's mine trains. I don't really like how the lap bars are on those things it gets in my way when boarding and geting off the train.

That's not roughness that intensity

MAGNUM! But I enjoyed the pain! lol

My Top 5
(1) Shivering Timbers(2)Millennium Force(3) Magnum XL200(4) Apollo's Chariot(5) Volcano: TBC

since flight of fear got the lap bars, then the 2 roughest ones i have been on are:

1.)mind eraser @ SFA

2.)anaconda @ PKD(serious headache)

A tie for me. Son of Beast at PKI and Sidewinder (the Vekoma Boomerang) at Hersheypark. I found Viper at Darien Lake more painful last year than I had remembered.

Hey Islanders fans, ask your team how the golf courses are on Long Island. GO LEAFS GO!!

Flashback and Psyclone at SFMM (I wont ever ride these two again). Magnum at CP. (last year was my first try on Magnum, very disappointing. I'll give it one more chnace this year.) There are plenty of other rides that are "rough" or "bumpy", but I wouldn't say they cause PAIN. Not so bad that I would all together skip them. Most rides are worth at least one spin.

the Coney Island Cycone my back still hurts!

The Robin side of Batman and Robin: The Chiller before the OTSRs were removed is the most painful coaster I've ridden. And, the only coaster that I swore I would never ride again. One girl got off my train bleeding.

However, with the new restraints, it's a great ride.

Mine would be Mantis, at Cedar Point. It has a lot of parts on the ride where the g-forces push a little hard down under for us guys, I've had that problem with some of my friends on that coaster, but Iron Wolf is just fine, didn't hurt at all and it's great stand up coaster!

Chris....Leave a little room for your family jewels. Then in the parts with too many g's use your leg muscles(unless too weak). It is a painful ride but thats a way to reduce the pain.

It's his turn to feast, when you ride the Son of Beast.

Corey, I was hoping you hadn't posted yet, just so I could see your post after I wrote how much you probably hated Psyclone. ;) Well.... even though I don't dislike the ride (that much), I will agree with you just this one time, and say that Psyclone is the most painful (again, I don't mind) coaster I have yet to ride. This includes Moonsault Scramble... so there............:)

Come see where the action is.......

It is a toss up between Drachen Fire @ BGW or OT:FOF.

Rob,

I think I would actually give the #1 nod to Flashback, then Psyclone. Magnum is a distant 3rd. I wish I had a chance to ride Windjammer tho.

For me I have several that I won't/can't ride anymore because they're too painful:

Shockwave (SFGAm) - won't ride - worst headache ever.

Thunderbolt (KW) - won't ride - roughest, most painful wooden.

SoB (PKI) - can't ride - lap bars and block under feet causes my legs to be squashed into bars which is very painful.

Magnum (CP) - won't ride - lap bars beat the heck out of my legs.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former." - Albert Einstein

The old OL:FOF wins for me, flat-out, not even close....the Advil stand outside the ride exit should have been the tip-off....

SoB was not exactly "re-rideable", made us thankful for the *short* ERT session....hopefully it's improved since then. The only coaster with lapbars that I felt hurt me physically. Revolution was somewhat painful, certainly ranks up there...

As for emotionally painful coasters, Mean Streak last year hurt my feelings, as did the "neutered" Beast......SO glad to hear they're both running much better this year....

edit: (dis)honorable mention to the Arrow loopers GASM-II, Anaconda, and the Vekoma Ninja...three coasters I would rather watch than ever ride again....
