I dunno about worst coaster, but I can think of who is the worst *ride* ever.
Ahem.
The one I liked the least so far is probably the pepsi ripsaw coaster at the Mall of America. The load times are so slow with only one ride op, and it's not worth the time you spend sitting in the car waiting to go. I remember it being fun when I was younger though.

worst coaster? hmmmm... I'd have to give that honor to Son of Beast, though Flight of Fear is a very close second.

Well, the worst coaster would probably be the roughest for me. I mean, the only time I really get affected by rough coasters is when I don't eat enough before getting on one. I don't know why, but when I don't eat, I get major headaches...Headaches that last ahwhile. And it's not common for me to get a headache on a roller coaster. Because the only time I really get a headache, is when I don't eat for awhile.

Now, the only coaster that has truly gave me a headache each and everytime I've ridden it, whether I've ate or not, was the "famous" Steel Phantom. I'd hate to say that this classic is so bad, but it was...I mean, the banked turn after the second drop is what did it...I don't know if people would agree, but truly...I hated this ride. I was so excited to ride it for the first time, and when I did...I wish I hadn't. Each year after that, I'd have my dad or sister bring tynlenol or advil to the park so I could take it after I rode the Phantom. The ride in my mind, was just downright horrible...And I for one am glad Morgan took the Arrow roughness out of the new Phantoms Revenge.

It depends on what you mean by worst. Years ago, there were medical stations at the exit. That's pretty bad, but my least favorite coaster is probably Viper at SFGADV. It's rough and only like 10 seconds long.

It's a rare occurence that I don't like a roller coaster, but the worst one has to be the now thankfully defunct Windjammer. Nothing more then a pain trip.

Out of the coaster I've been on, the two worst are Raging Wolf Bobs at SFWoA/GL and Iron Wolf at SFGAM. Both are very rough. One coaster I've heard nothing but bad comments about was WindJammer at KBF, it had to be bad, it got removed after what, 2, 3 years of operation?

Hmm, I really haven't ridden many bad ones. Of the ones I've ridden, I would probably have to say Mantis. After riding Chang at SFKK, Mantis was a serious letdown. Of course, the fact that I rode Chang when it was brand new, and never rode Chang until last year MAy have something to do with that.

Mean Streak haters- supposedly, MS got some retracking over the off-season, and I'm reading reports that it is better this year. I'm sure hoping so, because it is truly a beautiful coaster.

My vote goes to Raging Wolf Bobs at GL. It wasn't too bad back when it first opened. Then I rode it again a few years ago, and was just appaled by how bad it had gotten. I like rough woodies and all, but this one bordered on real physical abuse. Not good.

The worst coaster i've ever been on would have to be Python at BGT. That thing is rough, the chain lift takes 4ever, and it hafter the lift, it lasts for whut, 12 seconds?

Shockwave at PKD. Load times were forever and the ride is a joke.

Mean Streak is pretty bad. Wild Cat is pretty bad too. I used to love it when I was little, but now It's tiresome and boring.

Wildcat still gets me going. Good airtime pops on most of those little hills.
I also didn't find Raging Wolf Bobs that bad. It rattled me around a little bit, but not a bruising ride.
Last year, this honor would have been bestowed on Mean Streak, but she's running much better this year.
The worst coaster I've ever been on would have to be Top Gun at PKI. There was absolutely nothing on this ride that would make me want to go again.

Mean Streak is the worst coaster ever. Wooden coasters weren't meant to be boring and brutally rough. If not for the roughness, I would have fallen asleep on the ride.

I'll give another vote to Mean Streak. It just isn't very fun. Ironically it is one of the best looking coasters at the park. TTD is an awesome ride, but it's an eyesore.

I would have to agreed with the Ripsaw coaster at the mall. It made the Whizzer look tough.
