I've ridden over 500 steel coasters coasters all across America, and these are the 15 roughest experiences that I've had. I will also note what year I had these rough experiences for context, sometimes rides change over time for better or for worse.

“It doesn’t even make it onto my top 200 and I don’t have 200 coasters.”
She came right for that jugular 💀

11:35 massive shoutout to that guy who yelled “t3 sucks!!!”

@DavidKudellMusic 3 years ago

I’m old enough to have rode Flashback and I absolutely agree with it being the top pick. Absolutely most brutal coaster I’ve ever had the misfortune to experience. I remember riding it with friends in high school and we all just laughing and simultaneously screaming in pain the entire time.

Also the way that guy yelled “T3 SUCKS” when he was riding cracked me up 😆💀

You probably know what I'm going to say: BGW's Drachen Fire is the headbangingest coaster I've ever ridden. It was a genuinely great layout that could have been a world-class coaster in the hands of someone equipped to execute it properly. But it was a ride of pain to the extent that it didn't last long.

11:33 "I think it's time for T3 to hit the road." That aged well.

The og steel phantom was next level rough. Everyone talks about the inversions which were the most painful inversions I have ever been on but they were smooth in comparison to the boomerang turn at the bottom of the 2nd hill. They reprofiled that for phantom's revenge, but it was basically a horrible arrow transition at close to 90 mph(they clocked it regularly on hot days hitting 90...) With classic arrow over the shoulder harnesses.

I'm thankful every time I go to Kennywood that Pittsburghers hate change so we got phantom's revenge instead of a new ground up coaster 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Magnum has a long series of hills that are literally triangles, and all of these coasters managed to beat it. That level of engineering is actually impressive in a way.

Cmon Arrow, did you forget to "smooth all"?

5:06 gotta love how his head is symmetrical with the loop

@garrettlamb9916 3 years ago

I’m a native of Kentucky and totally agree with the #2 T3! Although my last ride ever on it wasn’t so bad in the front row until we hit the brakes and I realized that I couldn’t feel my legs due to the restraint crushing my thighs! I also got snapped up that weird loop thing and jerked my neck! Rest in pieces T3!

@thomasrinschler6783 3 years ago

Vortex was one of the first "big" coasters I ever rode, but I have to agree, towards the end it was rough. I would come away with massive bruises on my shoulders from the restraints the last few times I rode it.

@MrChuckGrape 3 years ago

Orient Express was murder in 2003. Thunderation was pretty rough the last time I rode it. Ninja has the worst transitions in the state of Missouri.

You did a few lists a while back where you talked about coasters each park needs, like a launch coaster, a looping coaster, a woody etc. Using that as a starting point, how about do a list of if you were designing the perfect coaster park, which coasters would you have in it for each of your choices and why.

The ‘T3 sucks’ clip actually made me laugh audibly.

@fenrishero 3 years ago

The pre-brakes part of Anaconda should be part of the layout of whatever replaces it. I've legitimately grayed out on that sidewinder. The stuff after the brake run, I've always suspected, was designed to need as little maintenance as possible because of how it's over the lake, and they probably have been skimping on keeping that part well maintained in recent years.

@dinodan3296 3 years ago

The Steel Phantom was pretty rough, especially before the remodel. Going 80 ish mph straight into inversions with the arrow transitions, that is where the defensive riding comes into play lol

@ReddFourBirds 3 years ago

The guy at 11:35 is me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Except I alternate between "VEKOMA SUCKS" and "T3 SUCKS!" It's a shame that Herschend has to reopen it with new trains.
