What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been On?

Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

Smoothest; Sheikra or Cheetah Hunt.
Both are unbelievably smooth coasters. Cheetah Hunt probably tops it, but, yeah. They're both smooth.

Roughest; Stampida (post Kumbak), Magnus Colossus, Gwazi are all high up there.
Stampida used to be incredible. Not that rough and extremely forceful. Now, it's a pile of ****.
Magnus Colossus is just rough and I wouldn't bother to ride if I went to Terra Mitica again.
Gwazi is a fun kind of rough, but there's no two ways around it. It's ROUGH.

Out of the rides I have ridden (Which is mostly centered around the three Merlin parks :p):

Smoothest: Air @ Alton Towers
Roughest: SAW - The Ride @ Thorpe Park
 
Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

Smoothest Wood: El Toro
Smoothest Steel: Apollo's Chariot (BUTTER!)

Roughest Wood: Mean Streak
Roughest Steel: Viper @ Great Adventure or Corkscrew @ Cedar Point
 
Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

Roughest Steel: The Ultimate
Smoothest Steel: Probably Silver Star

Roughest Wood: Cyclone in America (any of them :p )
Smoothest wood that has the slightest forces: Balder
Smoothest wood because it's dull and does nothing: Wodan

I think it's worth making the distinction between a ride that makes an effort and one that doesn't. It's easy to be smooth if you're boring.

Smoothest steel is MF. Roughest is GASM at Great Adventure.
The smoothest "woodie" is El Toro, but besides that it's Lightning Racer.
The roughest is Predator at Darien.
 
Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

Smoothest: El Toro in the front seat.

Roughest: Cyclone (SFNE) in the back
 
Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

Smoothest I've ridden is probably X-Flight and Wild Eagle. I'd expect a similar feel from Gatekeeper as well.

Roughest I would say is Avalanche, now HellCat at Timber Falls in WI Dells. I had bruises after riding that about 11 times in 2 hours.
 
Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

Both in the same park.

Smoothest: Phaethon
Roughest: Space 2000

Both at Gyeoungju World.
 
Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

Smoothest has got to be Silver Bullet at KBF.

Roughest by far was Psyclone at SFMM.
 
Re: What Is The Smoothest and Roughest Coaster You've Been O

Does anyone remember Rock 'N' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios being really rough? Because I thought it was really rough when I went in 2011. Still a fun ride though.

^I think the first part was good but the second part was when the corkscrew ripped my neck off and the turns beat me to death.
