Hardest final brake run slam?

[NAPayne31]

Arrows have pretty harsh stops, Gemini especially. I’ll give a nod to The Legend at Holiday World as that ride slams into the breaks.

The landing for X Flight at SFGA is far short of a runway

I recall Enigma at PWH having some awful brakes, plus most Zyklons are pretty bad.

The title for this thread really makes me happy. It’s such a CF thing.
Still sticking with Tennessee Tornado.

I remember the final brakes of Tonnere De Zeus being a bit sudden, as can be seen at 2:08 on this video:

Hades 360 by far. It grabs it so hard you can feel the trains trying to flip forward and hear the upstops keeping it from doing so. And honestly, it's awesome, one of the best parts of an amazing coaster.

Answering with cf live videos:
Wild Mice in general, represented by Gulliver's Wild Mine Ride (1:02)

Mumbo Jumbo at Flamingoland (1:20)

The now relocated Bobsleigh at Nigloland had a pretty nasty brake. Really brutal and sudden..!

 

[Intricks]

Ravine Flyer II was pretty harsh last I rode it. SDL at Hershey can be up there as well.

Stella's Revenge at Clacton Pier
Lisebergbanan - Liseberg

Blue Streak at Cedar Point from what I can think of off the top of my head. I don't brace often for brakes and I certainly do in that brake run.

Also, going back, Son of Beast had a horrific brake run, on all trains. You weren't exactly flying but they always brought the train to a complete stop.

Hornet, at Flambards.

The final brakes are like hitting a brick wall.

I'll go for:
-STella's revenge
-that ghastly "bobsled" thing at nigloland
-Liserbergbanan.

One what comes to mind (even though I haven't ridden it) is Thudercoaster at Tusenfryd:-

I remember Megafobia's being pretty hard, myself:

 

[Harry Rawding]

Wildcat at Southport Pleasureland.
Nasty and sharp brakes.

Shockwave at Drayton. Such a heavy slam plus the stand up restraints make your legs buckle if the saddle is too low.

After visiting Drayton today, I officially second this. You can even feel the force of the brakes stopping the train vibrating the station platform; it's quite amusing, actually!

The old one of Eurosat.

Ah yes, the Franz-Mack-Remembrance-Brake. From a ride comfort viewpoint it's good that it's gone, from a historic standpoint it's kinda sad. I would have liked if they found an in-between, still abrupt but not as abrupt as before. I'm curious how the brake will be in the new Eurosat, since they use magnetic brakes.

Raptor's final brake run can be quite traumatic for the uninitiated - really hauls in there, especially snapping off of the final turn.

Couldn't agree more! I have ridden that ride countless times and the first ride each year takes me by surprise. You'd think I'd remember (or at least anticipate it) after ridding it for the last 24 years.

Steeplechase at Blackpool has a violent grab just as you pass the queue staircases. Since taking up mountain biking and knowing how to brace myself and absorb impacts, I've found it a lot better!
