Should any coaster be rated 1?

I was looking at some of the ratings given to some rides just now, and I look at them, and question whether some of these people are like whimps, havn't ridden something, boring farts who try not to enjoy a ride, or if they're just being stuck up "oooh I've been on 5,000 coasters, it was a minion to me that one.", or prehaps the people who rate them don't actually enjoy coasters like a true enthusiast should enjoy the "Painful Pinfari's" and "Kiddies Katerpillars", for example:

Ok, Pinfari loopers hurt, but they are still a coaster and fun at places.

Name coasters that are TRUELY worth a rating 1/10 :?

The thread description said rant. XD
 
I dont even bother to rate Apple coasters but in my mind they are a 1. So yes I would vote coasters a 1.
 
I don't think I have rated a coaster, or indeed, a ride 1 yet. But I'm sure I'll come across one that will make me want to commit suicide, then I know that'll be the 1...
 
Good points about Pinfari loopers: Nice first few dips and loop is fun, that puts it up a few points in my opinion, I've never really felt pain on any ride tbh.

Infusion: Great colour scheme, and water features, nice drop, nice inline twists, never a queue when I've been, I mean that's worth atleast some points.

Apple coaster's, fun if you scream at top of your lungs, see a crap coaster could get 10 if you let it, like before the rating system was rebooted, my sister rated Go Gator at FL 10 because we were all screaming and yelling "we're all going to die", that's a 15, 23 and 18 year old doing that by the way haha.
 
So what you are saying is when it comes to the polls your sister might give Nemesis 5 but an Apple Coaster 10.

I tend to rate rate coasters on the coaster not because I have to scream to make it fun :)
 
I've always heard that you need to know how to enjoy Maverick for example though, and oddly my sister ain't to keen on Nemesis, well Lucy isn't, she says it's wya too short, but anyway :lol:
 
^Surely, by saying something is "Way too short" you do like the ride, but are disappointed it ended. If you really dislike a ride, anything is too long, right?

Yeah Go Gators definitely deserve a 1, as well as Caterpillars...

Jools what about what you like for once :)
 
Wildcat at Hershey in the back row, actually re-arranged my spine.

They wouldn't let me on that yesterday, said I was too old :(.
 
Wildcat wasn't bad :P

I'm going to contradict myself here - so if you can't handle it, look away now! ;)

I think that Big Apples, Clown Coasters, little powered kids rides. Anything where you have to make things up to get fun out of them deserve a 1 automatically. Yes, they're good for kids, but I really don't want to ride them to be honest. I do to have fun with family and CF, but the ride is almost irrelevant to be honest.

The other ride I have rated a 1 (I think) is X:\NWO. The reason being, it fails. It's a 1.4M height limit coaster. It gives a less thrilling ride than Beastie at Alton (another 1), but it is sold (essentially) as a high thrill ride. Even before knowing that, I thought it tosh. Once I found out you hit 1.4M and can ride Stealth, Colossus, NI and... X:\NWO - it just makes a mockery of everything :P

So, it deserves a 1 because it's rubbish, but mostly because it's just so far off the mark. If it was a kiddy coaster, then I may give it a bit more slack - but in comparison to its peers, it has to be a 1.
 
If I did happen to rate Big Apple and Wild Mouse coasters most of them probably would get a 1 due to them being boring and mostly done just to get the credit.

The only major coasters I would rate with a 1 are Tornado from M&D's and Looping Star from Codona's both were pretty painful and awful.

You beat me to it.
This.

I'd even rate Big Apples and Go Gators more than that piece of utter dog poo.
 
Ok, so Pinfari's, kiddies coasters and XWTF (<Which actually I'd agree with), but what about things like Colossus and Air, why do some people keep rating THEM 1 :?
 
I do agree that all kiddie coasters are worth a 1 as they are pretty much the same and pretty crap, aswell as really rough ones that provide no enjoyment whatsoever. But bigger coasters like Jools said, Colossus and Air are never worth a 1. Colossus in my opinion is brilliant, but I think Air is pretty bland compared to Alton's other coasters but I would never rate it a 1. It's a smooth coaster which is enjoyable so should never be rated a 1. To rate something such as Air or Colossus the same as a kiddie coaster is ridiculous.
