Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit (closing EOD August 17, 2025)

[1.21Gigawatts]

Meanstreak at Cedar Point in Ohio is a contender... Rock It is anything but smooth but it's nothing compared to the northern state death traps that I have somehow been allowed to ride without signing a waiver.

Wooden Rollercoasters shouldn't really be in this discussion. Unless you're on El Torro what do you expect?

The one at Great Adventure is the roughest I've been on.

Yeah that one was bad, rode it in 2005 and it destroyed me.

Georgia Cyclone. 'Nuff said.

This ride sucks! One of those rides you continue to feel days after you ride it.

Thunderhawk at Dorney Park. Now that's a bone rattling ride and the first time I couldn't wait for a ride to be over.

The turns and bases of the major drops on this are really bad.

Python was the worst I've been on. And all that did was give me a few headaches, I'm sure the others mentioned here are much less pleasant.

Python was bad but nothing anywhere near the worst Arrow built.

I thought Gwazi was way too rough when I rode it, and that was after they had replaced the cars

Gwazi has a great layout and the only time I ever enjoyed it was when I did the media preview for the MF trains.

Gwazi is simply too large for the type coaster that GCI builds. Their small footprint coasters are amazing. Gwazi, not so much.

Mean Streak at CP used to be the roughest coaster I had ever been on until they went in and added brakes on the main drop. It totally kills the drop, but the rest of the ride is no longer considered a torture device by the CIA.

I went on a woodie in Six Flag over Georgia that was borderline dangerous, my friends used to put their knees up so the lap bar wouldn't come down all the way, and they'd be flying all over the place..ha ha..morons.

Gwazi used to be alot more painful than it is.
Conneaut Lake Park had the worst woodie I have ever ridden, hurt me for a week, and Mystery Mine at DW wasn't any better.

Thank You! I was sooo disappointed with Mystery Mine, that thing killed my neck and head. I've said it before and people were shocked, I was starting to think I was losing it. Well then again...

Not a good time when the second time I tried it I had to, literall,y brace myself for the whole ride to enjoy it.
And Spook agrees, he was surprised how rough it had become.

Georgia Cyclone ruined my whole trip a few years ago.

Apparently it has new track this year. I think. Still not sure if I'll ever ride it again.

I don't care if the entire Swedish bikini team begged me to ride HRRR with them and even promised me to take me out to dinner..I'm never going on that scary thing again

 

[Hockeyman55]

^that just means more bikini models for the rest of us :thumbs:

 

[captainjack]

Good point :doh: I have been on Top Thrill Dragster and that straight up portion didn't bother me as much as HRRRs did :shrug:

 

[Hockeyman55]

Lol. You don't do well on the straight vertical parts? I never had a problem with them, I was in Kingda Ka also and no problem. Only time a ride bothered me was my first ride on Superman SFGA and halfway thru I got a Charlie horse that killed me lol

 

[1.21Gigawatts]

Dragster is over before you have a chance to get scared. Also I like bikinis...

 

[knokout1]

I like HRRR..except I'm a bit of a bigger fellow...I can fit but it is a tight squeeze, not to mention I'm very tall. So it gets hard for me to breathe and I enter panic mode..oh and once my pants drooped down and took my boxers with them..wasn't fun when I had to stand up.

I know what you mean, when Rockit opened I weighted in at just over 270lbs. I now weight 175lb. So I've experienced it in both forms. I will say I felt more secure in my larger status.

Well congratulations on the transformation man!

Couldn't get a picture due to the skies opening up but it appeared as if one of Rockits trains were being taken apart in the storage bay.
