What park has the best 'worst coaster'?

What park (that has at least three coasters) has the best 'worst coaster'? I looked through my rankings of parks, and checked the lowest ranking coaster of each park I've done,

I added some extra filters too:
-The park must have at least three operating coasters.
-I must have all the creds from the park.

First of all I'll check my results:

9) Wicksteed Park (Clown Coaster ranks at #116 out of #122)
8) Thorpe Park (Walking Dead #112)
7) Great Yarmouth Pleasure Beach (Big Apple #103)
6) Legoland Windsor (Duplo Dino Coaster #100)
5) Pleasurewood Hills (Marble Madness #89)
4) Adventure Island (Kiddi Koasta #85)
3) Paultons Park (Dino Chase #82)
2) Drayton Manor (Troublesome Trucks #69)
1) Chessington World of Adventures (Scorpion Express #55)

So according to my rankings, the park I've done with the highest ranking worst coaster (that satisfies the filters) is Chessington World of Adventures!

Now, what about parks I haven't been to? Some good shouts include:

World Joyland (Clouds of Fairyland)
Universal Studios Japan (Flight of the Hippogriff)
Kings Dominion (Apple Zapple & Anaconda)
Phantasialand (Crazy Bats)

Could it get any better? There are some parks that have an incredibly strong 'worst coaster' but then there's a tiny little 3m tall E&F Miler that ends up taking the cake.

Gonna guess the award goes to one of those places that has one big coaster without being a park per se. Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino, for instance, has an Arrow Hyper and nothing else (well, now it doesn't even have that). Tokyo Dome City would have been a good contender between 2013 and 2019, when Thunder Dolphin was its only operating coaster, but now it has a second cred which seems substantially less exciting.

In reality, it can only be Phantasialand, that I can think of, though Efteling is also a decent contender, perhaps because neither park has a small kiddie coaster or SLC or anything similarly ****e.

Honourable mention to Poke's beloved Tusenfryd, because Dvergbanan is adorable.

EDIT: I've just had the awful realisation that as far as the UK goes, it's quite possibly Thorpe, by virtue of Flying Fish being better than Scorpion Express, Rita, Infusion etc.

Of parks that I've visited, it has to be either Phantasialand (Crazy Bats) or SeaWorld San Diego (JTA). While I haven't been on all of the coasters at each park, I'm pretty confident that FLY and Emperor don't fall to the bottom. 😆

Wait, wait, wait. Animal Kingdom. That's the one. It has one coaster, and that's Expedition Everest. Hard to beat that, I think.

That and to stop me thinking I'm being funny saying Ferrari World (though I've remembered Junior Red Force exists, thus ruining my 'joke')

Oh, but the other Ferrari World, in Abu Dhabi, would be a very good contender. At least before Formula Rossa Junior opened two years ago. It had Flying Aces, Formula Rossa, and Fiorano GT Challenge. All fine coasters, and Turbo Track doesn't look half bad either. FR Jr. is a pretty standard Zamperla, though.

Interesting question I think I’ve spent to much time looking on RCDB, my first thought was to look at the newer parks in Asia like the OCT or Sunac parks, while having stacked lineups there would always be the one wacky worm or basic mine train to ruin it.

When you have at least three or more cred in any park one will be a kiddy cred so less coaster in a park improves the chances of no kiddy cred, in Asia these are the best two I could find.

Hot go dreamworld : worst coaster a p&b Nitro

China dinosaur park : worst coaster a zamperla Motocoaster

After more looking I think my pick will be IMG worlds of adventure with the worst being a Mack spinner Sierra Sidewinder clone that looks well themed and not at all bad, after riding both other clones I think it’s a great ride. They also have a Bluefire clone and a Gerstlauer Eurofighter which maybe could be worse depending on the ride but it looks pretty good to.

But I’m interested to see if there is anything better for a worst coaster, another one I saw was Wonder island which worst coaster looks like a Vekoma Whirlwind or funky mine train.

I think our winner here so far has to be IMG Worlds of Adventure and Wonder Island! Have to say I completely forgot those parks existed when making this thread.

Definitely seems like IMG is the more likely winner. I've never read any good reviews of Big Roller Coaster at Wonder Island, which is unfortunate for how neat of ride it appears to be.

Lotte World came to mind. I'd class their worst coaster as French Revolution. It's an unpleasant ride, but is unique and interacts with the surroundings so well. Others might say Comet Express is the worst coaster there (they'd be wrong), but that's also really unique.
