Worst coasters ever
Hello there guys and welcome back to my blogger channel. Today I decided to do something interesting but before we get to that, I would just like to say that roller coasters are great, there are tons of good roller coaster out there and they have good attributes such as speed, airtime, and drops. There are some coasters out there that are disregarded and discouraged for lacking airtime or just being rough and very slow. So today's list is going to be the top 5 worst coasters that I have ever ridden in the United States. So lets get right into it.
5. The Dark Knight Coaster

The Dark Knight coaster is located in Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey. Themed after the infamous Batman movie, The Dark Knight, this coaster is located indoors and it has a few drops, and a couple of sharp turns. This is my least favorite wild mouse coaster. It was manufactured by Mack Rides and it can reach up to 30 mph. Firstly, this ride is pretty short and it has a run time of two minutes. It does feature a chain lift hill launch system. The ride was very rough and it really hurt my head and knees. It it is indeed very hard to get a good ride on The Dark Knight coaster. The restraint is a lab bar and the bad part about it is the fact that if you sit in awkward position and the bar comes down, you get put in that position for the entire duration of the ride. Believe me man, I had a really hard time on this ride, my knees and my head were constantly banging against the steel. That was a really painful ride. I never truly got a chance to experience the ride as I was trying my best to make myself comfortable. I did ride this coaster in the front row and it was the worst front row experience I have got in any coaster. I don't recommend riding this coaster and it is a waste of time and money in my opinion.
4. Joker

The Joker is 4D freespin coaster located in Six Flags Great Adventure at Jackson New Jersey. It was manufactured by S&S Worldwide. 4D freespin coasters have seats that rotate 360 degrees on each element of the roller coaster. Firstly, I straight off the bat hate this ride, it had me vomiting after the duration of the ride. This coaster can cause you some serious headbanging and it has a terrible first drop. Throughout the ride, you really can't enjoy anything at all in this coaster. In my opinion, Six Flags should replace this coaster with a floorless coaster. It is themed after the Joker and if you guys don't know, Joker is the main antagonist in all the Batman series. Well, the ride itself can reach up to 30 mph and it has a handful of sharp turns. The G forces really get to your head every single time you are hanging upside down. This ride just caused me pain in my neck and my head. I strongly suggest that you guys don't ride Joker and I absolutely hate it.
3. Freedom Flyer

The Freedom Flyer is a family friendly inverted coaster that is located in Funspot America at Orlando, Florida. The Freedom Flyer was manufactured by Vekoma and it is one of the very few family inverts in the United States. It opened in 2013 and it is 64 ft tall and it can reach up to 34 mph. I don't hate this coaster but I do dislike it. First reason being is that its meant to be a family coaster but it actually is pretty intense and it does have a partial zero G roll. I believe that the name, being a family coaster fools most families and if they end up riding it then they regret it immediately. This coaster is not as intense as the other ones on this list but it is still pretty weird and it is a pretty bad ride.
2. Side Winder

This infamous Vekoma boomerang coaster is the Side Winder, located in Hersheypark at Hershey, Pennsylvania. The Side Winder is actually a snake themed roller coaster and it has all these twists and turns and it makes you feel like you are racing across the back of a giant anaconda. Well the ride itself has a couple of issues. It is a very short ride and it only lasts for a minute and fort eight seconds. As this a boomerang, it features 3 forward and 3 backward inversions. I rode this in the back row and I had a ton of headbanging and my knees really hurt because of the restraints. As I was seated on the back row, the vertical loop really made me nauseous. I hate this ride and I am never willing to ride it ever again. It can reach up to 48 mph but it just increases you chance of seriously getting injured in this ride. This is my least favorite coaster at Hersheypark and I really wish that they pull it down sooner than later.
1. Runaway Mine Train
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_Mine_Train_(Six_Flags_Great_Adventure)
The Runaway Mine Train is a steel coaster located in Six Flags Great Adventure at Jackson, New Jersey. It debuted in 1974 and it is one of the park's oldest coasters. I think that Six Flags haven't really upgraded this coaster since then and I don't think it goes through proper maintenance. It is the roughest ride on this list and I hate this ride. The turns were so annoying and it does hurt your knees and your neck regardless of your height. The restraint is a single lap bar and half the time, during the ride, you don't feel secure or safe at all. It was manufactured by Arrow Development and they are renown for making rough and bumpy rides. This again another short ride with a run time of two minutes. I waited 45 minutes to ride this thing and it disappointed me so much. I hate this ride and I don't recommend riding this at all because it lacks airtime and it feels more like a kiddie coaster and it is very rough and you really don't get to enjoy the nature that surrounds this coaster at all.
Thank you guys for reading my blog, I really appreciate it and please comment below what you guy want to know and read about based on amusement parks in general and I would be very happy to address your opinions in my next blog and Coasterfun is out.

I agree with you on the batman ride. I went on that roller coaster last year and there was a lot of headbanging. Everything you mentioned was completely relatable as to what I experienced when I went there.
