"Never Ride Again" Coasters
Strange...about a month ago I took a ride on SFOG's Ninja and thought it to be quite a decent ride...
As for Geauga Lake, I tend to have more fun on Raging Wolf Bobs than on Batman Knight Flight, even though RWB still has some pretty serious problems...

I would have to say The Shockwave at Kings Dominion. Everytime I have gone on that coaster I have received bruises all over my shoulders. The last time I was at KD I didn't ride it and I doubdt I will again.
It seems my "never ride again" seems to be the only one based on boringness and not so much hurtfullness.

PKD's Shockwave was pretty nasty, but I have only ridden it once, so I am not at a fair point to judge it right now.
19 times-in-a-row on Desperado was a killer, but I would do it again in a heartbeat.

Punk, how does B:TR (any of them) hurt your legs more than Mantis? B:TR's are inverted, Mantis is a standup, how can you make a comparison to the two? Just curious, because I do not find inverted coasters to be painful on the legs at all, at least not the way standups can be.

So you want a coaster in your backyard? I hope you have a big backyard.

I get some pain in the legs on B/M inverteds and floorlesses, but not on B/M sitdowns or B/M speed coasters.
I know, that sounds crazy.

My legs just get crushed by g's on that particular coaster. Raptor crushes legs too, just in a generous amount, during the final helix. I don't mind the feeling, I just don't like it too much as on B:TR.

The Mean Streak. And only because of the added trim brakes!! I don't mind the rough ride. But I do mind being slowed down!!

Let the coasters begin!!

as anyone ridden iron wolf with the new restraints. big help there. The second half of the ride which use to be incredible now feels like the turn before the mid coarse break run on shockwave. to the day i cant figure out why shockwave doesnt have a helix goin into the mid coarse break runinstead of one of the sharpest turns ive ever expericed. If u sit in the back and lean against the right side of the harness it helps. The breaks slow the train down somewhat before the back completes the turn. i still ride both these coasters as much as possible and both still have incredible rides. just a little work is needed.

there is no coaster i won't ride again, i didn't find Mean Streak to be rough just boring, its a shame about Iron Wolf this used to be one of my favorite rides when it was smooth but recently it has turned to be a headbanger.

I love OLFOF!! it's the *only* launched coaster i've ever been on. I will never ride again Predator @ SFDL, Top Gun @PCW, or Mantis @ Cedar point. grrrr remind me to take off my earrings next time
Outer Limits: Flight of Fear...the most painful ride I have ever been on
Any Boomerang coaster...major head rush for me
That's really it!

I'd have to agree with Violena and say the Predator at Darien Lake. Unless they smooth it out, someone is going to get seriously hurt...

someone said raging wolf bobs at sfo was rough!!! omg that has to be one of wimpiest rides i have ever been on. i could have fallen asleep on it! maybe it was just because i went on that right after b:tr which was awesome. the only really rough coaster i have ever been on is shockwave at sfga and that ride is awesome. i would never skip it.
