christianscoasters Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Since B&M, Intamin, and GCI are great coaster builders, which of their roller coasters do you think are the worst? Think about airtime, roughness, ride time, ride ops, safety, and overall experience. Sadly, I'm only 13 and have been on only 1 intamin, no B&M or GCI. The 1 intamin I was on was Halfpipe at SF Elitch Gardens. It was awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesdillaman Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 well I haven't been on a large sampling of b&m's or intamin, but Gwazi is the worst GCI I've been on. -James Dillaman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaptorBoyASU Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Intamin = Le Cobre at La Ronde (I actually liked Flashback). It was painful, though I still thought it was a decent ride. B&M = Umm....Vortex at Paramount's Great America, though it was still a decent ride. GCI = Wildcat at Hersheypark. Again I thought it was a good ride, just the most lackluster of the the ones I've been on. I don't get the hype on this coaster at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomas2 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 I've only ridden 3 B&M's so far (Silver Star, Batman-La Fuga and Superman-La Atraccion de Acero) and I loved them all. None of them was bad IMO though Superman-AdA was quite rough at the bottom of the first drop. But that wasn't that bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfie Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Intamin - American Eagle @ SFGAm GCI - I liked Gwazi too much... B&M - Iron Wolf @ SFGAm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 (edited) I have only been on 1 Intamin, Skull Mountain, and 2 GCI's, Lightning Racers and Wildcat. Worst B&M I have been on is Hydra but I like the ride a lot, it's just that every other B&M I have been on is excellent and I consider Hydra to be very good. 2012 Update Worst Intamin: I have yet to ride a bad Intamin coaster but my least favorite is Possessed Worst B&M: Hydra, the ride is ok but the ride rattles almost the entire time now and I can only tolerate 1 ride per trip to Dorney now because of it Worst GCI: Gwazi, I only have ridden the Tiger side but it was horrible. The entire ride was rough and gave me a really bad headache and that was with the new trains. Edited May 23, 2012 by YoshiFan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downunder Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Intamin: definitely Flashback followed by Le Cobra at La Ronde. B & M: I haven't been on any really bad B & M's, same for GCI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ECZenith Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Kind of a weird topic, but I'll bite... B&M: Iron Wolf Intamin: n/a GCI: Gwazi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CP_RULES Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 The worst that I have ridden are: Intamin- Wicked Twister (What a lackluster ride it is) GCI- N/A (Havent ridden any yet) B&M- Mantis (It's more those [painful] trains than anything else) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexander Nagel Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 GCI - Gwazi (the only saving grace was the PTCs) B&M - Apollo's Charrit, ya I know i'll get beatten up for this, but i've just never been a fan of it, (followed by Hydra, but those are the only two of the 33 i've been on that i've disliked, I even liked Iron Wolf) Intamin - Can't think of any, maybe the the juniors but even they weren't really bad (or really Intamin cause they were just the middle-man back then).

Guest Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 GCII- Gwazi would be fantastic if both sides were retracked simultaneously, and the millennium flyer trains would be added. BGT should have bought them in the first place instead of the PTC box car trains. Intamin- Steel Venon (Superman) It was the first of the impulses. It was MEH at best. B&M- I haven't had a bad ride on a B&M yet. I know guys probably despise the stand-ups. But, I love them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vjgx Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 That I've ridden: B&M: Scream! (vibrates a lot more than other B&Ms) Intamin: Superman: The Escape (boring...) GCI: Ghostrider (It's the only GCI I've ridden, and 2/3 of the time it's painful) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyscraper Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Worst B&M : Iron Wolf at SFGAM... most painful stand-up ever ! First coaster to give me bruises ! Worst Intamin : Cobra at La Ronde.... ok it's maybe a B&M .... Worst GCI : Wildcat at Hersheypark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiFan Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 GCI: Ghostrider (It's the only GCI I've ridden, and 2/3 of the time it's painful) Ghostrider is a CCI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Benvenuto Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Intamin: None really, though I think MF is a tad rough. B&M: oh, Dominator at GL, I thought Mantis was great. GCI: Lightning Racer, too noisy liftchains. AHH, MY EARS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennywood!007 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 I have no B&M's or GCI's I disliked. But I my 2 intamins were pretty fun. (Stormrunner, and Steel Venom) Out of those two Steel Venom wasn't that great, fun! But short, and I didn't get as much floating feeling as I thought I would.

Airtime&Gravity Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Of what I've ridden: B&M-Superman: Ultimate Flight-I'll take Iron Wolf over this any day Intamin-V2-fun but nothing I'd rush back in line for GCI-Well I've never ridden one, so I can't give an honest answer can I?

Absimilliard Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Intamin: Cobra at La Ronde... Ouch! Followed closely by Temple of Peril at DLP... Worst trains ever. GCI: Wildcat at Hersheypark... Interesting layout, but shakes too much! B&M: Superman: Ultimate Flight at SFGAdv... boring layout and it gave me an headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie200330 Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Intamin - I would have to say the impulse rides. They are just blah.....(honorable mention goes to TTD, so fast, so stooopid, so "what just happened???") BTW Storm Runner kicks A** GCI - I have to agree about the Wildcat at HP. Very rough and no real airtime or anything. B&M - Hydra was pretty lame, as much as it was slow, I think Hercules should've been reworked and kept there!

Xcelerator and Magnum Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Intamin- American eagle, becuase it is very rough. B&M-Iron Wolf, it was the first and has many flaws. GCI-Roar only GCI i have ridden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canobie Fan Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Intamin-Steel Venon (Superman) It was the first of the impulses. It was MEH at best. Yeah.. First not named Linear Gale....... Anyways... I have only been on 5 GCIs... And none were "bad" but I guess I liked Roar at SFA the least of them (Wildcat ,Roar ,LR(2), Ozark Wildcat) B&M - HYDRA AND BDK! Both are just such bad rides... The 3 SUFs would come in second for just being lame. Intamin - Cant really think of any I hate... Maybe Shockwave? But thats more because of the park it was at an its nazi rules...(only 3 people on a ride and zero in the station. but you CANT wait for the next train...)

PKI Jizzman Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 MY worsts.. Intamin - Sadly, Wicked Twister....great ride....no bad Intamins B&M - Vortex at PC GCI - N/A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 B&M = Iron Wolf at SFGAm GCI = Gwazi at BGA Intamin = Shockwave (aka "The Nutbuster") at Drayton Manor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoasterFanatic Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Of those that I have been on. B&M - Hydra (Dorney) GCII - Roar (SFA) Intamin - Shockwave (Drayton Manor) If trains count, then Psyclone wins the B&M by a mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted November 1, 2006 Share Posted November 1, 2006 Overall, I'm not a big fan of B&M standups, except for the Georgia Scorcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
