Worst Roller Coasters by Manufacturer

I actually like Zamperla Volares. I want to clarify that after multiple comments were asking why I excluded them from this list. I have a whole review explaining why they're fun for me.

stunt pilot casually being better than every other coaster on this list combined sums up how incredible rmc is at creating layouts

When RMC's "worst" ride is better than the best ride from almost any other manufacturer, you know they're the GOAT.

If Switchback is your worst coaster, you must be doing something right.

For Dinn, I nominate "Hercules" at Dorney Park; you needed to see a chiropractor after riding it! For Wisdom, how about "Pirates Hideaway" at Casino Pier? At the least, the pirates did a heckuva job hiding from the riders!

This could be a hot take but I despise Thunderbolt at Luna Park. When I rode it, not only was it the worst staple I’ve ever experienced, but the ride broke down and I had to stay in the seat. Once the ride started working again. Not only was the seat uncomfortable, but the ride was also rough. I’d pick that ride for Zamperla. At least for the ones I’ve ridden

Surprised to not see Mine Blower for Gravity Group, but also happy about it. I genuinely enjoyed it when I rode it for the first time this year. I always heard how bad it was, but the RMC track seems to have helped a lot! I absolutely adore that ride, and I'd go as far as to say it's one of my favorites in Florida! Edit: seeing a ride that's basically the same thing as the coaster I live about 15 minutes from as the pick for Wiegand is kinda saddening, but also... yeah, the shooting is awkward on those lol I'll take their standard mountain coasters any day!

I don't think Underground at Adventureland isn't too bad, but that was my childhood ride

Thanks for talking about Blue Tornado. Gardaland is my home park and for some reason unkwnown to me people here love that ride and it's easily the second most popular, if not the most popular ride in the park, but I always found it unbearable. Last time I rode it it left me with neck pain for a week. It did recieve a partial refurbishment before this season's reopening, and while I have yet to ride it people say it runs smoother now, but it's still on the rough side.

Hurts seeing Mean Streak on here, but I get it. There's a reason it's SteVe now. I just remember how much I loved it during my first trip to CP in 1999. It was my first "big" coaster, and i left with it as my favorite ride in the park. That only lasted a year until Millennium was built, but even when it got rough, I still loved it just because of the memories. Rip Mean Streak ❤.

The Calm Music in the background is such a Nice touch :)

me personally when i went to dubai, i loved green hornet it was a fun ride and it wasnt really shaking turns felt like a normal wild mouse and the drop are sharp.

Probably first time I ever see Blue Tornado being mentioned as the worst SLC, sadly it's from my home park :D the pain and the rattle used to be tolerable until 10 years ago, didn't mind multiple rerides at all, then after covid times it became so unbearably rough I couldn't tolerate more than 1 ride. Apparently some minor improvement have been made during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, but haven't tried it first hand :D

I nominate Alpengeist when you ride its bad train. It's a good ride when you get the two good trains, but regardless of what Busch Gardens does with it, that third train has a horrific rattle. This is why people say it's rough.

Flight Deck is rough. Time Warp gets alot of hate too. Their days are numbered. Enjoyed the video Canobie, thanks.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It’s surprised that vortex at carowinds didn’t make the cut here. It’s still a standup and it’s the only b&m that’s ever left me with lasting pain.

You nailed the Intamin Green Lantern right. That ride was hardly operational when I was at Six Flags because it kept getting stuck, so they had to close it all the time. Currently we have one at Kings Dominion it's made by S&S Sansei Technologies. Also if you ever took a ride on the Grizzly roller coaster made by Curtis D Summers/Taft Broadcasting, you might not feel safe if you're in the front row.

13:39 there is a clone of this ride in Cornwall, UK called 'hornet' and has arguably more severe braking. However I personally really enjoy the coaster myself so I suggest riding it if you ever get the chance!

Before I watch, I'm gonna take some guesses... B&M: firebird Intamin: Green Lantern Mack: Tulireki Schwartzkopf: Knightmare Gerstlauer: (idk some sort of eurofighter) RCCA: Coaster Express (obviously) S&S: Screamin squirrel Vekoma: Blue Tornado GCI: Roar CCI: Pegasus PTC: Wildcat (Compounce) Gravity Group: Mine Blower Chance: Toboggan

I think the only manufacturer for whom I've ridden enough coasters to have a reasonable opinion is Arrow. And the objectively worst Arrow I've ridden was the infamous Drachen Fire at Busch Gardens Williamsburg. The frustrating thing was that it was a *great*, exciting layout--but the execution made it a pain machine. When I was a young man, I could take this. If it existed today I'd give it a miss. The worst PTC at parks I've visited is almost certainly the Compounce Wildcat--but I haven't ridden it, because I'm just not enough of an enthusiast to waste time on coasters that are universally considered bad. I frankly have not ridden a bad PTC. Mr. Twister scared the hell out of me the first time I rode it, but that was entirely its intention.
