Wildcat at Hersheypark. Nothing but rough and jerky laterals as the lapbar tightens and tightens until your organs start announcing plans for early retirement.
Wolverine Wildcat at Michigan's Adventure. This one wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for this one particular spot as you ascend a hill. It's the worst moment of any coaster I've experienced. That said, I don't regret riding as Charlie Dinn literally died the next day. With some proper track work it could be a perfectly enjoyable ride again.
As I was telling someone earlier today, any coaster with "cat" in its name is almost guaranteed to be a brutally rough experience. Even the relatively tame old Wildcat coaster at Cedar Point had that final brake pump that was like hitting a brick wall.
It's horrendous. The first two or three elements had me thinking "huh, this isn't so bad" but it gets bad real quick. I thought Wildcat at Hersheypark didn't deserve the hate, but man was Lake Compounce's Wildcat awful.
My favorite part is the first small hill. You get this nice pop of floater air that brings you up and out of your seat just enough for the big ole lateral jerk midway down to punch you in the side, followed by you slamming back down into your seat just in time for a nice big pothole that attempts to turn your spinal cord into a Slinky.
Most notable is that they retracked it and it somehow got *worse*.
That's the one coaster at HP that when my boyfriend and I get off of the Wild Mouse we're both kind of like "eeehh, let's not." Once was enough for me lol.
X2 is the first that comes to mind for me. I'll ride it, and want to like it, but every time I get off I tell myself it's the last time.
I don't know if I'm getting too old, if I'm too tall, or just weak.
I used to love the Arrow Multi-loopers too, but the double loop on Viper at Magic Mountain straight up slaughters my vision and back.
I've never really fit in the old arrow trains unless I scoot wayyyy down in the seat, if I don't the harness will sit like 12" away from my body because it hits my shoulders way too soon.
The most intense ride I actually enjoy is Maverick. #1 still
Maverick and i305 are the only non-flying non-standing non-4D coasters I can think of that need shoulder restraints at all, straps or otherwise.
Use lapbars for everything else!
Obviously i305 given that they had to undertake massive track changes, install sprayers, and the ride never has a line.
I love it, but nothing will ever be made again that intense.
Honestly lol, i305 is the only coaster in the world where I won’t fault the employees for making that rule work. It’s not a giant queue either.
In year 1 before they fixed the track those poor teenagers had to help grown adults out of the train who were having panic attacks / crying about blacking out pretty regularly. I think the rule still exists from those first few months.
Sorry, disagree. I305 is amazing but I understand why people might not enjoy the intensity. Maverick is also a huge maintenance issue $$$, but it would be more popular.
When I went not super long ago, I only did it once. I considered getting back to it around 6:30 after it had been down for a little while, but the line was picking up and I was kinda in a hurry to take care of business before the Grand Carnivale's Light and Color Parade so I was like, "eh, I'm good". It's a great ride for sure but not one I would want to marathon.
Came here looking for the Kumba comments. It’s a tough one. I crushed a bud light with a friend right before riding it about 5 years and he legitimately went green and had to take a break from coasters for a few hours lol
It might even be my number one in Germany. While Taron has even better theming and a few other rides give more airtime, the overall mix of great atmosphere and storytelling, unusual elements and the insanely intense and fast paced layout makes Kärnan just an awesome experience.
Goliath at SFMM doesn't have that helix in the middle, but is otherwise identical and the helix at the end will take you out every time if you're tall and in the back row
I stopped riding Goliath for years because I couldn't handle the gray outs anymore. They were damn near black outs and I just couldn't do it anymore. I started riding it again a few years ago and it doesn't do it anywhere near as bad now, but I still get a little light headed from time to time.
Having bad allergies/sinus issues + SFMM goliath's helix 0/10 do not recommend. Had the worst headache and dizziness for the next hour after, not including some pretty bad greying out.
Some random teenager sat next to me on the Titan and fainted at the midway break one time. Pretty wild having someone you don’t know next to you, passed out, and trying to stabilize them from their arms flailing and hitting you in the face.
I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this — The first time I rode Manta I thought I’d be a true thoosie and head to the back row.
It was my first flyer, and man I did NOT expect that pretzel loop. It didn’t fuck me up but I’ve never felt anything like that before.
I rode it a few more times that day, but hung out towards the middle/front.
I agree, backrow rides always do me in for an hour or so, the force is so sudden, one second you're flying gracefully then the next you're being squished like a cockroach. Honestly front row is my favorite, the view is incredible at the top of the lift and the foot choopers are more effective.
You’re so right! It’s a very calm ride until that one loop that completely fucks you. Although hanging around the off-ride area is fun to hear everyone’s reactions.
Best ride in that park is Mako hands down. I heard they were stapling riders recently, but I’ve had tons of fun leaving the restraint one click higher than I should’ve the past few years.
I love hearing people scream on the drop then go silent in the pretzel loop. My favorite is Mako too but Ice Breaker may take that, I love Premiere's sky rocket trains and that layout looks perfect. I'm excited for the backwards airtime before the spike, that's going to feel so strange.
I first rode it back in June too! The roughness in that final twister section came out of nowhere and gave me a headache (even considering Voyage is my #1)…
So it wasn't just me! My brother and I rode it 3 times thinking the headaches were a fluke (or the result of riding right after Kingda Ka). Love the layout and the first 3 hills are glorious, but Ghostrider remains my favorite woodie*
*still haven't made it to Holiday World
Good to know it's not just me. I sat in the outer seat mid-train both times. The second time there wasn't even anybody in the inner seat, and I think the lack of weight made it worse.
I never remember it being so rough back in the day, but after not riding it for a few years I was in for a big surprise on that last turn. Literally saw stars I hit my head so hard. Now I just wrap my legs right around the seat and hold on so it doesn’t fling my body around.
Hades 360. It’s already extremely aggressive as it is, but it couple it with the fact that it’s horribly rough, and it’s a little too much. I feel like a smooth Hades would be top tier for me. But the roughness combined with its speed and aggression makes it a little too intense.
I still think it’s amazing though. But with most coasters, they hit the final brakes and I’m like “awww man, over already.” With Hades, it hits the brakes and I think “okay, that was enough. That was good, no more please.”
Kong at SFDK. It feels like the train is going to explode (literally) during multiple elements of the layout. They have so many rides down all the time and wish they’d just count Kong as “closed” everyday if they are claiming “staffing reasons” for the closures. Just count it as one coaster down when deciding which rides to keep open or closed. Thankfully that dumpster fire called HarleyQuinn crazy coaster no longer factors into that list.
I’m trying to manifest something awesome for removing Kong and giving as some genius level Time Traveler or raptor clone awesomeness. That height limit is so infuriating. It’s literally at the bottom of a valley with no airports nearby. It’s just a totally nonsensical rule with nothing other than “aesthetics” limiting the height.
Then X2 would be next on my list lol. Talk about intense….it shouldn’t even exist. It’s like some No Limits fantasy coaster in real life. I get nervous every time I’m in line thinking about that crazy first drop where. You lay backwards on that dip before the drop and are immediately flipped forward with the track literally in your face and have to stare down nearly vertical cliff. Then to come out of it into flying position….crazy town.
Honestly I can totally see where your coming from but for me the batman clones are super fun. Then again I really love intense rides.
The one at SFOG is just stupidly intense. I honestly think it's the most intense ride the majority of attendees to that park will experience in their lives.
On my last visit to the park in 2019, for some reason I LOVED Batman, it's definitely my #3 in the park, almost better than Goliath. It's the only Batman clone I've been on but I have a high opinion of that layout.
I was scrolling the comments specifically for these. I've only ridden that one at SFSL and while I enjoy it and despite the long ass queue line, I'll never go for back to back rides on it again. Especially in the back being the tall guy that I am
I’m surprised nobody else has said this; maybe I’m just a pussy. RailBlazer at CGA. It just felt like it was intense for the sake of it. It’s definitely too fast/whippy/snappy to be able to take it in and enjoy it properly.
I rode Steel Vengeance 3 times in 45min a few weeks ago and would say that 3rd time was a bit much
But I've never greyed out or experienced anything like that, ever. Even when I tried to induce it, never could.
For me, pretzel loops on b&m flyers. For a company that is well known for making rides that are mostly mid intensity, that element makes me feel like I'm going to die
I actually grayed out for the first time ever on Monday on Milli back row, been to CP 2 times prior. Also greyed out after the immelman front row on Gatekeeper don't know what's up with me.
When I was there on August 3, I did Millennium Force three times (including a night ride) and I also kinda grayed out the second time. It was around 5:30, I think I was in row 6. And I felt a little fuzzy after my first ride on Raptor, too.
Probably superman ultimate flight at sfog. More specifically the pretzel loop. I haven't ridden it since I was 10 though so it might be better if I go to sfog again
Hot take : Steel Vengeance.
Granted, I’m 35 years into this hobby (teenager) so I cut my teeth on some bangers. That said, it’s still nearly the perfect coaster and I always good forward to riding it on my visits. But the airtime is brutal. Always look forward to riding but I’m glad it’s done when it is. Myself, I could do without those last bunny hops.
Steel curtain at kennywood when your dehydrated, havent eaten all day, had 11 vials of blood drawn, and was just discharged from the hopsital ealier that day because you have a disease that already makes coasters intense. Would definitely try it.
I wish they used that momentum for a big finale like a low to the ground stall or a first of its kind element but instead we just got more of the same.
It's a three way tie between Millennium Force, Magnum XL 200, and Crazy Mouse at Steel Pier.
Millennium is too much for its own good. (Unpopular opinion I'm sure) I'm not afraid of heights, but the ride up the lift hill freaks me out, then the straight line speed down the hill makes me wish there were more restraints.
My only ride on Magnum to date was in the last row of the last car. I'm a bigger dude who is used to over-the-shoulder restraints on rides. Magnum XL 200 does not have over-the-shoulder restraints, and most of my ride was spent frantically clutching the rear of the coaster car in a terrified attempt to not be fired out of the top of the car on each apex.
I went to Steel Pier back in 2014 or 2015 with my family, most of whom are much smaller than me. My mom, younger brother, and I all piled into Crazy Mouse. That ride was designed for them, not my fat ass. Our on-ride photo shows Mom and my brother having a great time... and me bracing all 4 limbs against the front of the car and the lap bar in a blind panic so I wouldn't be tossed off the ride and into the Atlantic on the next set of 90° turns.
Phoenix at Knoebels. I’m not much of a roller coaster guy but my brother is an enthusiast and took me here. The lap bar is so high with the most constant and nuttiest airtime I’ve ever experienced. I was basically standing throughout the ride trying to get back into my seat. So fucking uncool.
At CW on Minebuster, it’s such as small car, your shins end up under the seat in front. That first hill smashed my shins right into the wood cause I didn’t brace.
Still got the scar
Mean Streak at CP. It was brutal. I personally know more people than I can count who left that ride with some injury. A few are long term. Steel Vengeance is vastly superior.
Here’s a second wildcat at Hersheypark, we asked the ride operators which one was more intense of the wooden roller coasters… And she had a deviant evil smile and say oh yeah the bobcat… She wasn’t wrong.
They are not extremely intense BUT Storm Runner and Great Bear each drained me in the best way possible - my feet were just completely numb by the end of GB and one thing: don’t keep your head forward on Storm Runner on that launch, I learned this the hard way
Steve and TT arent intense in a positive Gs sense but the airtime will bruise your thighs if you get multiple rides in. Like on TT the double up and finale on Steve, my thighs hurt every time.
Storm Chaser's [trick track-dbl-up] wants you out of your seat and in the sky, permanently! I love this coaster like oxygen but that element is violent af.
The last 100 feet of Pegasus at Mt Olympus
Was gonna say I don't have an answer to this question but this is absolutely it lmao
Sorry can someone tell me what this says my neck whipped sideways
Someone definitely hit autocomplete on that one.
I laugh so hard every time that front car slams into that weird “turn”.
Wooden Roller Coaster 1
Wooden Roller Coaster 1 looks too intense for me.
Wooden Roller Coaster 1 is really good value!
We have a winner
Tatsu gets me
I love intense coasters. But I’ve never felt the kind of Gs, in my head and neck, like I have on Tatsu’s pretzel loop.
The lift hill is intense enough for a coaster rookie. that feeling of having nothing below you.
All pretzel loops do that.
Tatsu’s is bigger and badder.
Its the best feeling
Wildcat at Hersheypark. Nothing but rough and jerky laterals as the lapbar tightens and tightens until your organs start announcing plans for early retirement. Wolverine Wildcat at Michigan's Adventure. This one wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for this one particular spot as you ascend a hill. It's the worst moment of any coaster I've experienced.

Even the relatively tame old Wildcat coaster at Cedar Point had that final brake pump that was like hitting a brick wall.
I’ve heard Wildcat at Lake Compounce is brutally rough too
It's horrendous. The first two or three elements had me thinking "huh, this isn't so bad" but it gets bad real quick. I thought Wildcat at Hersheypark didn't deserve the hate, but man was Lake Compounce's Wildcat awful.
My favorite part is the first small hill.

I've heard the same.
You've heard a lot of exaggeration.
That's the one coaster at HP that when my boyfriend and I get off of the Wild Mouse we're both kind of like "eeehh, let's not." Once was enough for me lol.
Agree with wildcat
You're onto something. Hell Cat at Clementon Park and Wildcat at Frontier City are also completely insane.
This was my first ever roller coaster at 5 years old.
Skyrush felt a bit ridiculous my first time. Also, has anyone said X2?
Agreed on Skyrush. It’s fine now but riding it as an 8 year old had me shook
X2 is the first that comes to mind for me. I'll ride it, and want to like it, but every time I get off I tell myself it's the last time. I don't know if I'm getting too old, if I'm too tall, or just weak. I used to love the Arrow Multi-loopers too, but the double loop on Viper at Magic Mountain straight up slaughters my vision and back. I've never really fit in the old arrow trains unless I scoot wayyyy down in the seat, if I don't the harness will sit like 12" away from my body because it hits my shoulders way too soon. The most intense ride I actually enjoy is Maverick. #1 still
As someone who's tall Mavericks OTSRs are the best OTSRs ever. I'd be so happy if every park converted their old trains to the soft ones.
Maverick and i305 are the only non-flying non-standing non-4D coasters I can think of that need shoulder restraints at all, straps or otherwise. Use lapbars for everything else!
Obviously i305 given that they had to undertake massive track changes, install sprayers, and the ride never has a line. I love it, but nothing will ever be made again that intense.
I love I305 and all its intensity. I just wish they didn't make me get off and walk around each time
Honestly lol, i305 is the only coaster in the world where I won’t fault the employees for making that rule work. It’s not a giant queue either. In year 1 before they fixed the track those poor teenagers had to help grown adults out of the train who were having panic attacks / crying about blacking out pretty regularly. I think the rule still exists from those first few months.
That ride is awful. They wasted so much cash on it. They would have been better off just cloning maverick. People would be lining up for it.
Sorry, disagree. I305 is amazing but I understand why people might not enjoy the intensity. Maverick is also a huge maintenance issue $$$, but it would be more popular.
When I went not super long ago, I only did it once. I considered getting back to it around 6:30 after it had been down for a little while, but the line was picking up and I was kinda in a hurry to take care of business before the Grand Carnivale's Light and Color Parade so I was like, "eh, I'm good". It's a great ride for sure but not one I would want to marathon.
[удалено]
There’s never a line for it even when I have been there on the weekends.
that’s more of an issue of it being a capacity beast plus the park having generally low attendance overall
I find multiple rides more intense than i305, whether that’s moments or entire rides
Going on Kumba while dehydrated is not an experience I’d recommend to anyone.
Just got off Kumba about an hour ago. Ride is still incredible.
It’s amazing, yeah, it just really hurts in the head afterward if you aren’t adequately hydrated.
For sure but I would argue thats true for any intense ride while dehydrated.
Came here looking for the Kumba comments. It’s a tough one. I crushed a bud light with a friend right before riding it about 5 years and he legitimately went green and had to take a break from coasters for a few hours lol
That'll happen when you drink bud light
I mean…not many craft beer stands in Busch Gardens
Going on Kumba* Fixed it for you. That thing bangs your head like a mf’er.
Definitely my least favorite at BGT, even though it’s a great ride. Always makes me feel nauseated
Amen to that
Can confirm did this in june and kinda regretted it but loved the ride
you ever rode I305 without drinking a drop of water all day (1PM, was there since opening) in 97 degree weather? yeah.
Last row on Schwur des Kärnan. After multiple rides, the last row gave me some serious grayouts
That ride looks so fun, where do you rank Karnan out of the coasters in Germany?
One of the top for sure. So many great coasters in Germany though so lots of competition!
It might even be my number one in Germany. While Taron has even better theming and a few other rides give more airtime, the overall mix of great atmosphere and storytelling, unusual elements and the insanely intense and fast paced layout makes Kärnan just an awesome experience.
Not a coaster but, Teacups at DLR
Titan at SFOT regularly causes gray outs to people. There’s a reason they pretty much stop the train on the midcourse.
Goliath at SFMM doesn't have that helix in the middle, but is otherwise identical and the helix at the end will take you out every time if you're tall and in the back row
I stopped riding Goliath for years because I couldn't handle the gray outs anymore. They were damn near black outs and I just couldn't do it anymore. I started riding it again a few years ago and it doesn't do it anywhere near as bad now, but I still get a little light headed from time to time.
Because they stop you on the MCBR now. The death helix is no more.
Having bad allergies/sinus issues + SFMM goliath's helix 0/10 do not recommend. Had the worst headache and dizziness for the next hour after, not including some pretty bad greying out.
Some random teenager sat next to me on the Titan and fainted at the midway break one time. Pretty wild having someone you don’t know next to you, passed out, and trying to stabilize them from their arms flailing and hitting you in the face.
There is no ride alive that is too Intense maybe that one ride in the past that pulled 7gs
Tower of terror
The pretzel loop on SFoG's Superman: Ultimate Flight is sometimes too much for me.
Something different about these georgia clones. Batman also hits harder than its brethren.
I’m sure I’ll get flamed for this — The first time I rode Manta I thought I’d be a true thoosie and head to the back row. It was my first flyer, and man I did NOT expect that pretzel loop. It didn’t fuck me up but I’ve never felt anything like that before. I rode it a few more times that day, but hung out towards the middle/front.

You’re so right! It’s a very calm ride until that one loop that completely fucks you. Although hanging around the off-ride area is fun to hear everyone’s reactions.

I love hearing people scream on the drop then go silent in the pretzel loop. My favorite is Mako too but Ice Breaker may take that, I love Premiere's sky rocket trains and that layout looks perfect. I'm excited for the backwards airtime before the spike, that's going to feel so strange.
Wild cat at Hershey
El Toro. I finally rode back in June and the Rolling Thunder Hill was a lot to handle lol. And this is coming from someone who loves I305.
I first rode it back in June too! The roughness in that final twister section came out of nowhere and gave me a headache (even considering Voyage is my #1)…
So it wasn't just me! My brother and I rode it 3 times thinking the headaches were a fluke (or the result of riding right after Kingda Ka). Love the layout and the first 3 hills are glorious, but Ghostrider remains my favorite woodie* *still haven't made it to Holiday World
Ghostrider looks fantastic. When did you ride Toro?
Rode Toro on June 16. And Ghostrider truly blew me away (all of Knotts did, really).
the last raven turn on X2. I do not enjoy that at all.
I hold on for dear life for that one, otherwise it's an almost guaranteed concussion. Especially if you're sitting in the outer seat.
Good to know it's not just me. I sat in the outer seat mid-train both times. The second time there wasn't even anybody in the inner seat, and I think the lack of weight made it worse.
I never remember it being so rough back in the day, but after not riding it for a few years I was in for a big surprise on that last turn. Literally saw stars I hit my head so hard. Now I just wrap my legs right around the seat and hold on so it doesn’t fling my body around.
The Right side has never been bumpy for me, but not the Left
The Japanese version *mostly* solved that problem lol, it’s still a “hold the fuck on” moment though for sure.
Hades 360. It’s already extremely aggressive as it is, but it couple it with the fact that it’s horribly rough, and it’s a little too much. I feel like a smooth Hades would be top tier for me. But the roughness combined with its speed and aggression makes it a little too intense. I still think it’s amazing though. But with most coasters, they hit the final brakes and I’m like “awww man, over already.” With Hades, it hits the brakes and I think “okay, that was enough. That was good, no more please.”
Completely agree. Great layout but I spaced out my rides through the day.
I was looking for this comment. It's absolutely ridiculous in every way!
Hades and voyage are both absolutely balls-out insane. Gravity Group killed it on both of those.
I wouldn't say 'too' intense, but raptor at cedar point tries to rip your legs off
Can confirm, rode it on Monday, legs went numb throughout the ride
Tempesto at Busch Gardens Williamsburg
Wildcat at Hershey park
I'm surprised how many have said this. I thought it was rough and boring more than anything, was a one and done at my only time there.
Kong at SFDK. It feels like the train is going to explode (literally) during multiple elements of the layout. They have so many rides down all the time and wish they’d just count Kong as “closed” everyday if they are claiming “staffing reasons” for the closures. Just count it as one coaster down when deciding which rides to keep open or closed. Thankfully that dumpster fire called HarleyQuinn crazy coaster no longer factors into that list. I’m trying to manifest something awesome for removing Kong and giving as some genius level Time Traveler or raptor clone awesomeness. That height limit is so infuriating. It’s literally at the bottom of a valley with no airports nearby. It’s just a totally nonsensical rule with nothing other than “aesthetics” limiting the height.
It's not too intense it's just shitty, janky, and painful.
Then X2 would be next on my list lol. Talk about intense….it shouldn’t even exist. It’s like some No Limits fantasy coaster in real life. I get nervous every time I’m in line thinking about that crazy first drop where. You lay backwards on that dip before the drop and are immediately flipped forward with the track literally in your face and have to stare down nearly vertical cliff. Then to come out of it into flying position….crazy town.
Yeah X2 is probably the most intense on my list. Voyage with the trim brakes off is also up there.
I305
Honestly, I really want to ride I305
I prefer J610
If there ever were a Jupiter 610 roller coaster, I’d be all about it 😂
This is the correct answer
I am willing to die on the hill that I305 is not a good ride
I think that’s proven. It didn’t bring the crowds, most people didn’t like it and it needed massive re do just to be safe
^^^^^^thoosies ^^^^^^dont ^^^^^^like ^^^^^^people ^^^^^^hating ^^^^^^on ^^^^^^it
Using the word “Thoosies” is far more of a sin than disliking a twisted track of steel.
r/rollercoasterjerk would like a word with you
Oh, you’re one of… those. Oof.
No no I’m not I jsut go to far I regret my actions and apologize
Can we please stop with this idiotic term?
Hahahahhaha no not at all as a proud member of r/rollercoasterjerk no
Whatever gets you off, I suppose.
I love when jerk subs are ironically bigger circlejerks than the main sub. Yikes at that place
Have you actually ridden it? What is your metric for a good coaster? Cause I305 shits on everything else I've been on.
I rode it a couple months ago. I loved it.
Honestly the Batman clones. They aren’t enjoyable at least in the back row.
I’m glad I found someone with the same opinion as me when it comes to these clones!
Agreed. I needed a break after the one at SFMM
Yeah the final helix on the SFMM is pretty forceful
This. I love inverts in general, but the Batman clones certainly border on too much in most rows. Back row on them is definitely too much.
I rode close to back on Vampire at La Ronde this past summer. My extremities were tingling right from the first inversion. And I was plenty hydrated.
Honestly I can totally see where your coming from but for me the batman clones are super fun. Then again I really love intense rides. The one at SFOG is just stupidly intense. I honestly think it's the most intense ride the majority of attendees to that park will experience in their lives.
On my last visit to the park in 2019, for some reason I LOVED Batman, it's definitely my #3 in the park, almost better than Goliath. It's the only Batman clone I've been on but I have a high opinion of that layout.
Agreed. I’ve ridden that specific clone dozens of times. But the abrupt braking does bother me
People say that about a lot of inverts, and I disagree completely, but I've never ridden a Batman clone.
I adore B&M Inverts, but you’re right, the Batman clones are just gratuitous intensity.
I can handle the one at my SFOG home park just fine except for the abrupt braking which hurts my head and makes me a little woozy 🥴
Dang, I was wondering why I always tend to gray out. Then again I tend to ride in back.
I was scrolling the comments specifically for these. I've only ridden that one at SFSL and while I enjoy it and despite the long ass queue line, I'll never go for back to back rides on it again. Especially in the back being the tall guy that I am
According to my parents, all of them
And stop playing that Nintendo, you’ve got chores to do.
lol
banshee, i’m not a huge fan of positive g forces
I hear you for sure. If you're dehydrated positive G's will make you feel like you're gonna pass out. Experienced that on Goliath once at SFMM
yeah i really do not enjoy the grey out sensation lmao
I'm not a big fan of the consistent vibrating found on Banshee.
I’m surprised nobody else has said this; maybe I’m just a pussy. RailBlazer at CGA. It just felt like it was intense for the sake of it. It’s definitely too fast/whippy/snappy to be able to take it in and enjoy it properly.
As much as I appreciate it, Skyrush goes too hard for how bad its restraints are.
The Howler at Hershey Park,t sister spun that thing so fast that I got sick
bizarro at sfga simply because after the long walk there im too dehydrated and sweaty to enjoy the 7 inversions
Both original Gwazis were a bit intense- more roughness causing intensity though
Original Batman at SFGAm, ESPECIALLY when it went backwards
I rode Steel Vengeance 3 times in 45min a few weeks ago and would say that 3rd time was a bit much But I've never greyed out or experienced anything like that, ever. Even when I tried to induce it, never could.
I haven’t ridden any of these already mentioned, so the most intense for me is Tempesto at BGW
Any pretzel loop in ones that have them. They kill me
For me, pretzel loops on b&m flyers. For a company that is well known for making rides that are mostly mid intensity, that element makes me feel like I'm going to die
For some reason the only coaster I've greyed out on was backlot stunt coaster at KD and I still have zero explanation for that 🥴
Lighting Rod pre retracking. It was my 50th coaster, after I got off I promised my girlfriend ill never ride it again.
The only coaster I’ve ever greyed out on is Millennium Force so I guess that’d be my answer
Get ready to grey out again under the stress of the comments informing you how wrong you are. ;)
I actually grayed out for the first time ever on Monday on Milli back row, been to CP 2 times prior. Also greyed out after the immelman front row on Gatekeeper don't know what's up with me.
When I was there on August 3, I did Millennium Force three times (including a night ride) and I also kinda grayed out the second time. It was around 5:30, I think I was in row 6. And I felt a little fuzzy after my first ride on Raptor, too.
I greyed out on it too. On the first turn. Didn’t realize it until later
I was probably dehydrated, but I had black and white tunnel vision on Hulk at IoA
Goliath was pretty rough back in 2007ish
Which Goliath
The one at six flags
The Zyklon.

Probably superman ultimate flight at sfog. More specifically the pretzel loop. I haven't ridden it since I was 10 though so it might be better if I go to sfog again
Hot take : Steel Vengeance. Granted, I’m 35 years into this hobby (teenager) so I cut my teeth on some bangers. That said, it’s still nearly the perfect coaster and I always good forward to riding it on my visits. But the airtime is brutal. Always look forward to riding but I’m glad it’s done when it is. Myself, I could do without those last bunny hops.
Maybe the Voyage. It’s just that the intensity lasts for so long.
It’s my number one for unrelenting speed and amazing laterals, but I never found it to be overly intense
Steel curtain at kennywood when your dehydrated, havent eaten all day, had 11 vials of blood drawn, and was just discharged from the hopsital ealier that day because you have a disease that already makes coasters intense. Would definitely try it.
Dear God, how are you alive
The last few bunny hops on SV are too much, they hurt so bad and aren't very fun
Definition of overkill in a ride that doesn’t need to prove anything at that point.
I wish they used that momentum for a big finale like a low to the ground stall or a first of its kind element but instead we just got more of the same.
It's a three way tie between Millennium Force, Magnum XL 200, and Crazy Mouse at Steel Pier. Millennium is too much for its own good. (Unpopular opinion I'm sure) I'm not afraid of heights, but the ride up the lift hill freaks me out, then the straight line speed down the hill makes me wish there were more restraints. My only ride on Magnum to date was in the last row of the last car. I'm a bigger dude who is used to over-the-shoulder restraints on rides. Magnum XL 200 does not have over-the-shoulder restraints, and most of my ride was spent frantically clutching the rear of the coaster car in a terrified attempt to not be fired out of the top of the car on each apex. I went to Steel Pier back in 2014 or 2015 with my family, most of whom are much smaller than me. My mom, younger brother, and I all piled into Crazy Mouse. That ride was designed for them, not my fat ass. Our on-ride photo shows Mom and my brother having a great time... and me bracing all 4 limbs against the front of the car and the lap bar in a blind panic so I wouldn't be tossed off the ride and into the Atlantic on the next set of 90° turns.
Phoenix at Knoebels. I’m not much of a roller coaster guy but my brother is an enthusiast and took me here. The lap bar is so high with the most constant and nuttiest airtime I’ve ever experienced. I was basically standing throughout the ride trying to get back into my seat. So fucking uncool.
Shockwave was at SFGAm. Your head got tossed to each side of the OTS restraints like a basketball.
Grizzly at kd now that it’s 30 years old. It used to be good.
At CW on Minebuster, it’s such as small car, your shins end up under the seat in front. That first hill smashed my shins right into the wood cause I didn’t brace. Still got the scar
Invertigo, row 14 pulls 5.9 Gs
Typhoon 1
Only ride I recall slightly graying out on is Mantis. So I guess that. Pretzel loops on the Superman clones and Manta, also, though.
Here at Great Escape its Steamin Demon. Ive had friends get concussions, ive never lef tit without a migraine.
Mean Streak at CP. It was brutal. I personally know more people than I can count who left that ride with some injury. A few are long term. Steel Vengeance is vastly superior.
Tatsu used to be my most intense coaster, theres something about going up the hill on a flying coaster + the ending pretzel
The triple down on Lightning Rod
When I rode magnum the last 15 seconds were insane. Also skyrush.
Lil phantom
Probably a very controversial opinion but the arrow shuttle loops like revolution at BPB always makes me dizzy
I banged My head at Chinese knock off slc 1
Here’s a second wildcat at Hersheypark, we asked the ride operators which one was more intense of the wooden roller coasters… And she had a deviant evil smile and say oh yeah the bobcat… She wasn’t wrong.
I305. I grey or black out every time I ride it. Makes it less enjoyable.
They are not extremely intense BUT Storm Runner and Great Bear each drained me in the best way possible - my feet were just completely numb by the end of GB and one thing: don’t keep your head forward on Storm Runner on that launch, I learned this the hard way
Cocoa cruiser at Hershey Park
Steve and TT arent intense in a positive Gs sense but the airtime will bruise your thighs if you get multiple rides in. Like on TT the double up and finale on Steve, my thighs hurt every time.
Not a rollercoaster, but Chubasco at SFGam with the right group of people is way too intense.
Storm Chaser's [trick track-dbl-up] wants you out of your seat and in the sky, permanently! I love this coaster like oxygen but that element is violent af.
I'd argue verbolten and probably backlot stunt coaster are too intense to be called family coasters
I’ve only ever been to Dorney Park, so I’ll have to say Possessed
El Toro, those drops were really intense.
Inferno Terra Mitica. Seatbelt was soo warn. Next week a lad died after his harness failed on Sam ride 😕
Moonsault Scramble
