Smallest most intense coaster you've ever ridden?

[Thekingin64]

These things:

Zamperla family gravity coasters. Tiny but are surprisingly brutal for their size (and being tall makes for a great headchopper on it)

 

[vaugc002]

Blackpool's Wild Mouse for sure.
Formula Pax and Wild Train at Parc Saint Paul.
Twister at Grona Lund.
Wildwinds (but intense in a really bad way).

What's the last one? I don't think I've heard of it

Interpark Wild Winds. Basically roller skaters with a Sidewinder

I'd definitely say Mine Blower at Fun Spot Orlando, that thing certainly packs a punch and very intense on some of the banked tight corners. I found it similar to Nemesis at some points.

Yeah, think we have to differentiate between good-intense and bad-intense here (your mileage may vary)

Good:
- Twister (Gröna Lund)
- Wild Mouse (Blackpool)
- Sky Scream (and presumably Skyrocket IIs in general)

Bad:
- Zakspins (particularly Insane - Gröna Lund)
- Tornado (Bakken)

and another one for the bad list - the pinfari RC40 - how a small, family friendly looking ride can be so trash is a mystery!

 

[CrashCoaster]

Bad:
- Zakspins (particularly Insane - Gröna Lund)
- Tornado (Bakken)

What's up with Tornado? It looks like a solid ride, especially that lift.

It's just so violent and the restraints aren't great considering how much whiplash it gives you!

 

[Lofty]

Twister at Grona Lund is the one that first springs to mind with this. It's absolutely tiny, but it's feisty. Absolute case of little man syndrome.

Monster - Adventureland, Altoona Iowa

 

[Zek_Teh_Kek]

^Wouldn't consider that small. Maybe in length, but the entire thing looks huge in pictures. It might be in a small park, but it's not exactly small.

EDIT: Forgot something

Then I'll say Blue Streak!

In terms of Length, probably Invertigo at Kings Island.

 

[GuyWithAStick]

I wouldn't even call Monster that intense! It's still an amazing ride nonetheless. If I were to say something from that park it would most definitely be Outlaw. It's absolutely tiny, but packs a huge punch!

The first to come into my head are Megablitz at Wiener Prater and Wild Train at Parc St Paul.
Both were clearly inspired by Schwarzkopf.

This. Wild Train was crazy. F1 coaster was pretty mad too.

 

[MakoMania]

I'd have to agree with the people saying Wild Mouse at Blackpool Pleasure Beach. That ride is absolutely insane!

 

[Mack]

Thunderbolt @ Kennywood.

When it rages into that sadistically underbanked double helix...

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

That ****ing death trap of a Wild Mouse at Blackpool. The seat belt ended up wrapped around my neck when I got off.

Otherwise, Lightning Run, Storm Chaser, Maverick, and Wooden Warrior.

 

[mrFacipieri]

Invertigo

 

[SaiyanHajime]

Whilst Nemesis might not be tall, I’d hardly class it as a small ride.

Nah I disagree, Nemesis fits in this category and is absolutely the winner in my book.

And Blackpool's Mouse.

 

[Ben]

Nah Nemesis is definitely big. It is in no way small. It's actually huge it's just in a pit.

The answer to this is more, Tornado at Bakken and Wild Mouse at Blackpool. Not a massive B&M Invert.

I'm seconding everyone who mentioned wooden Wild Mouse coasters. Those things are pretty much insane for their size. Does anybody know of good flight deals to Indonesia?
