"Never Ride Again" Coasters
From the responses I'd say there must be a lot of us [Naughty Words] out there. Yes they are meant to throw you around, but head banging against unnecessary and poorly designed head restraints is not an enjoyable thing.

SFMM's FLASHBACK!!! that rides is a new headache in every hairpin dive. I think SFMM should destroy it, or revise it to make it less jolty.
A good boomerang coaster would fit in it's place.

I really don't hate any coasters, but Meanstreak might make my list. I recently went to CP and I refused to ride it... I wanted to ride all the other rides without a headache and cramps in my side! The first time I went on it, I had a lot of cramps in my stomach and a headache. Iron Dragon is not intense at all (but when you are over the water by the mist, that's cool), Disaster Transport isn't a super ride, but it's cool if there is nothing to do (and besides, the queue line is air conditioned, so when it's hot, I'll wait 1 hour in it!), Wildcat isn't that great either, and the Mine Ride is a waste of time if you have to wait 30 minutes (but usually you could just get right on).
The Mind Eraser at SFO kinda makes me dizzy, but I still go on it. The Double Loop isn't really that great either if you have to wait 1 hour for it. But it is a classic, and I still like it.

I cannot think of a roller coaster that I would not ride again. As painful as Outer Limits: Flight Of Fear at PKI is, I will still ride it if the wait is not too bad. I honestly have never ridden a roller coaster that I got off and thought I would never ride it again.
SFMM's FLASHBACK is the most painfull ride I have been on, Viper smacked me around also, Anaconda at PKD Needs to be re designed, It has a set of brakes in the middle of the ride that bring it to 5 mph and the ride sucks from that point on.....
But, I would Ride them again..... If the lines are too long for the other rides.....

RE Revolutionary:
NOOO!!! You can't burn SFMM Psyclone! I love that ride! It's so rough and wicked! Man, give it to CP if you want to get rid of it! I wish I would ride that thing again!

I would have to say Gemini, I hated that ride.
And the Steel Phantom is very rough if you sit in the middle section of the train. But if you sit in the very front or second to last seat it is smoother than most B&M's!

I like coasters so much that there isn't anything that I wouldn't ride again, except maybe Disaster Transport. Why waste your time in line for that piece of crap when you can go to Magnum or Raptor or something good.

We are the ones who wait in line for hours for a 45-second thrill, and consider it time well spent.

Now Now Now SFMM Flashback and Psyclone are both great and the Flashback is the ONLY one of it's kind built.

I haven't been on a coaster yet that I won't ride again. Sure, if I only have a day at a park with a lot of great rides, I might skip something, but that doesn't mean I won't ride it.
As for some of the rides previously mentioned:
Mean Streak: Quite slow, quite rough, but I definitely see the potential for a good ride. I'd ride it. It is a coaster.
Mind Eraser (SFO): I didn't think it was horribly rough. It's more disorienting for me than anything else, but I would ride it again.
Steel Phantom: I'd pay good money to ride it again. I've only had an incident on there once (which, granted, is more than should happen). On my first time riding after about a 6 year or so absence from coasters, we flew back up the ravine and nailed the trims. I wasn't expecting this, and my head lurched forward, only to go crashing back onto the headrest. No blood or even a headache, just a little unexpected bump.
This may sound odd to you, but I really want to ride one of the Outer Limits. I want to see just how bad they are.

Out of all the coasters I've ever ridden in my life, there isn't one I wouldn't ride again. Each coaster I've ridden has at least SOMETHING about it I like. Even the very few coasters I've been on that I dislike, I'd still ride given the opportunity.

SFGAm: Twice the fun in 2001 (hint, hint)!

Once was enough for me on Windjammer, the *only* coaster I can honsetly say I won't ride again. Well, the fact that it's closed for good helps lol!

MANHATTEN EXPRESS (unless they re-do the trains.)
This thing tracks horribly, feels grainy & rough the whole way, seems to have no shocks, and the upstops hit when it does its roll-over.
Need I mention the shoulder harness?
Plus its $10 a ride, or 2 for 1 wih coupon.

I've sworn to never ride Wonderland Sydney's Bush Beast again. It hurts the hell out of me and got worse everytime I rode it. My heart actually got beaten up inside my ribcage. Which is why I'm no fan of woodies and a devout fan of B&M. Gwazi at BGT is the only other major woodie I've ridden and its's alright, not great.

Shockwave at PKD. The only way I would ever ride it again would be if it was the only coaster running in the park and it was a complete walk on. Strange, but I rode OL:FOF and it was just fine...but Shockwave....it lives up to its name.
Of the rides I have ridden, the ones I am unlikely to ride again unless something is changed are King Cobra at Paramount's Kings Island, Mantis: The Coaster Formerly Known as Banshee at Cedar Point, and Chang at Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom. Except for Chang, which I never actually liked, I used to enjoy all three of those; now due to changes made to the trains, I simply can't ride anymore.
