Smoothest steel: Black Mamba or Krake
Roughest steel: Tornado (Bakken)
Smoothest wood: Joris en de Draak
Roughest wood: Wildcat (Lake Compounce)

I haven't ridden blue fire since the year it opened, but isn't it still silky smooth as well?

Blur Fire is really smooth! Didn't experience a single vibration on it It's just that new B&M's are a bit smoother. It's hard to describe, but I found both Mamba and Krake to be more like flying in air than riding a coaster!

I can't say I wasn't expecting that :wink:

Also I forgot to add Tomohawk to my rough woodies.

^Cyclone at SFNE isn't that bad now that it has the RMC topper track.

When did they put the new topper track on it? I think I'm leaning more towards Thunderhawk for this category.

^They did the topper track in the 2011-2012 off-season. It took me totally by surprise & was the coaster highlight of the USA Live (add-on) for me.

^^Okay I went on in 2010 and wasn't that fond of it. I've been there since and just avoided it I'll have to give it whirl next time.

Smoothest steel- Millennium Force, probably.
Smoothest wood- El Toro. Feels like a steel coaster.

Roughest steel- Ninja @ SFoG jumps to mind.
