most anoying coaster awards

iv thought of some of the coasters which annoy me most for various reasons, please add some of your own

Most wasted track- Superman the Escape
You only ever seems to get up about 3/4 of the way. Would be more accurate calling it Superman the failed bid for freedom.

Most out-of-sync dueling coaster- Grand National(Blackpool)
What can I say? By the time you reach the station thr guys on the right have been there for wbout half an hour.

Most head bashing coaster- Vekoma Corckscew
corkscrew- OW- corkscrew- OW- turn- OW

Weirdest layout- Ultimate(Lightwater valley)
Lift hill, drop, straight, bigger lift hill, straight, steeper drop, lots of tight turns ???

Smoothest coaster- Vekoma LSM
You can close your eyes on that thing and hardly tell your moving.

This is a poll. Anything asking your favorite, least favorite, best, worst, etc. is a poll and belongs in that forum. I'll move it there and see if we can get a discussion out of this thread.

Here's what I think.

Most wasted track- I can't think of one. I really don't feel any track is wasted. Some track somewhere offers the best thrill in the world to someone.

Most out-of-sync dueling coaster- I hear Gwazi doesn't duel anymore. I got to ride it the last season they dueled it, so I lucked out.

Most head bashing coaster- Flashback at Six Flags Magic Mountain is pretty bad. You have to hold on really tight and watch exactly where you're going to not bash your head. Serial Thriller, a Vekoma hang and bang, at Six Flags Worlds of Adventure is pretty bad as well.

Weirdest layout- This could go to the Premier LIM-launched spaghetti bowls (Flight of Fear, Poltergeist). They're so freakin' twisted! This is a tough one

Smoothest coaster- Another tough one. I've ridden quite a few really smooth coasters. Goliath at SFMM and Millennium Force are possibly the smoothest I've ridden. There are some others. Most of the B&Ms I've ridden were pretty smooth. The Intamin bobsled, Disaster Transport, is smooth stuff.

Headbangers: The worst i've ridden were all in Paris. Gourdiux (sp?) at Park Asterix is close to taking the cake, but Space Mountain and Indiana Jones at DLP are front runners aswell.

Worst leg room: son of beast kings island. The lapbars on that ride really are uncomfortable to sit in.

Magnum has great legroom compared to another arrow coaster like say...Corkscrew. Iron Dragon fits there too. I swear that Corkscrew was designed for midgets.

Most out-of-sync dueler - Thunder Road, actually they almost raced Saturday when I was out there! I was shocked. The lazy ride ops could have made them race if they wanted to.

Trains gone wrong, made right (uncomfortable train, fixed) - Flight of Fear

Biggest waste of steel - Ninja SFoG

Worst leg room - SoB

Headbangers - Mind Eraser -SFA

Most insane brake-run (too short)- S:RoS - SFA

BGWFreak, usually for the last 30 mins. or so, the ops are really cool.
They race and everything. It's a lot of fun!

Worst paint job/color scheme. SooperDooperLooper at HP - 1990. Blue and Yellow makes it look cheap. The white with orange trim was superior.

yes, your right, that is really annoying and i've only been on it once. stupid aliens.

im not saying aliens are stupid or whatever, it just gets annoying after awhile. although, it was a relief to be inside, even if you were being annoyed out of you mind(it was hot that day)
