The 2 worst roller coasters I have ever been on are both at Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. The names of the coasters are Rolling Thunder and El Toro. Rolling Thunder was the worst, by the end of it I had a terrible headache and backache because the ride is so bumpy I had to leave the park since I felt so horrible and sick. El Toro was also horrible since I got terrible whip lash and my neck was all screwed up and again I had to leave the park, BTW these are both wooden roller coasters.

Mean Streak is fun and now is not as painful

My worst experience at a roller coaster ever was on the Shock Wave at Kings Dominion, the ride makes you stand up, which is on some rides a good thing but on the Shockwave it is horrible when I got off the ride my lower back was hurting and during the ride my whole body hurt. It not only had the weirdest seat belt, but it also has no neck support, so after the ride your whole body hurts.

I'm surprised no one's mentioned any of Vekoma's SLC's. One of them, The Mind Eraser @ Six Flags New England has got to be one of the worst rides I've ever been on.

I ride the Grizzly weekly at Great America, and it is far from being the worst wooden coaster. In my opinion, the Demon and Vortex are much worse than the Grizzly. I actually enjoy Grizzly more than Santa Cruz's Giant Dipper. Even though, the Grizzly has no airtime, the whole thing about the Grizzly is speed. It is a perfect coaster for raising your hands and having the wind going through it for periods well over 10 seconds. The speed is high for most of the ride because there is no major hills in the middle part of the coaster (except for the lift hill). Some of my friends enjoy Grizzly more than Flight Deck/Top Gun. The Grizzly is not that rough, it's not very smooth, it's in the middle which I think is very good because you don't want a very smooth woodie, then it doesn't feel like a woodie, and you don't want a rough woodie because it is unenjoyable. I seen kids that are just over 48"(height requirement) that love this coaster and like to be tossed around.

Grizzly is one of my favorite rides in the park and it's good that it's no longer the world's worst wooden coaster but "demoted" to America's worst wooden coaster. (Anaconda at Walygator Parc in Europe is now the worst)

i just got back from cedar point and i can say without a doubt i still hate mean streak, its ridiculously rough to the point that its painful to ride. i rode the damn thing this past monday and here it is saturday now and im still in pain from it, if they'd just figure a way to smooth the ride out it'd probably be great. but as it sits now im surprised they havent been sued over any injuries connected to it. personally, id like to see it come down and have something better put in its place, woody or otherwise, just seems to be a huge waste of space considering you can walk right on to the thing now without waiting. it wouldnt hurt my feelings to see it go.

you are a freaking idiot, Mean Streak is one of the best wooden rides in the NA! son of beast 2 but not so much without the loop. you seroiusly cant rate coasters.

Son of Beast is actually great if you are in the very front seat. If not its hell. I didn't think that Mean Streak was bad either. I would place both ahead of the Racer and Blue Streak.

Collossus at SFMM is the worst woodie Ive been on. The trim breaks after every hill make for an extremely boring ride.

I liked the mean streak. Maybe it's beacause I hate having airtime without some BM- or Intamin-esque restrain firmly maintaining me on my seat, but still. It was cool, just, going around in that big wooden structure, with turns, dips, things like that… Let's say I know how to appreciate non-extreme coasters…

For the shaking, well, in the youghts of my coaster fan life, while I was fearing like pest any kind of airtime, I rode Vekoma's serial murders… Uh, coasters, those with a load of headbagning, shaking, rattling, and all -ings…

So yeah, a little time relaxing in a cozy seat.
