Worst Vekoma SLC

[ECG]

VF15's question about Vekoma SLCs got me thinking about which one is the worst. I've ridden plenty and quite a few stick out as absolutely vile, with only a couple actually being good.
So which one(s) is the worst that you've ridden? You can vote for more than one. I left out Cape Cobras at Ratanga Junction in South Africa, Desafío at Parque de la Costa in Argentina and Firewhip at Beto Carrero World in Brazil because of the poll limitations, but feel free to mention them in your post if that's your choice(s).

I've ridden over 20 so far and the Mind Benders at SFNE, Darien Lake, Elitch Gardens and Six Flags America as well as Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland, Gauntlet at Magic Springs and MP-Xpress at Movie Park Germany immediately come to mind, but the absolute worst is El Condor at Walibi Holland. It was the first one ever built, so I guess that's to be expected.

My vote was Flight Deck at Wonderland. Every other SLC I have been on (I think it was 4 priors) had been tolerable, if not even a tad enjoyable.

Flight Deck treated me like a $10 hooker. I **** hate the state of Canada because of that ride, and the **** Volare (thanks ECG!) that is right next to it.

Canada is a state?
And the Volare next to it is made by Zamperla. :wink:

 

[rtotheizzo17]

Canada is a state?

Yes, I knew I should have put the sarc tag in there somewhere.

The worst I've ridden was Kong at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom. One rough son of a ****

^Sorry. Don't know how I missed putting that one in the poll. It definitely deserves to be there.

The one at Movie Park Germany is the worst one I've been on.

Jerry will never ever forget Aidan's picture on the one in Italy that was so funny

The one at Canada's Wonderland. One of the friends I was at the park with flat out refused to ride anything else after riding the SLC. We rode it at around lunch time, so it basically ruined most of the day for her.

Dishonorable mentions to El Condor, Limit and Kumba.

Oddly I've ridden 4 but i've never ridden a standard one. I actually liked all 4 so I wont vote.

But IMO i thought Arkham asylums new restraints were awesome.

 

[ATTACKHAMMER]

Infusion at Blackpool Pleaseure Beach is the worst one I've been on.

 

[caffeine_demon]

The 2 mind erasers (sfa and sfne) were awful, one was particularly bad, but I can't remember which right now!

 

[Chris Coasters]

Only been on Mind Eraser at SFNE but it wasn't very good so it gets my vote.

 

[insanecoastervids]

Mind Eraser at Elitch gardens is quite a bit rougher than Kong, so it get's my vote.

Lets see what I've got

1 Flight Deck Canada's Wonderland
2 Fly the Great Nor'Easter Morey's Piers (with new and old trains)
3 Gauntlet Magic Springs & Crystal Falls
4 Jaguar Isla Mágica
5 Kumali Flamingo Land Theme Park & Zoo
6 Mind Eraser Six Flags America
7 Mind Eraser Six Flags New England
8 Mind Eraser Darien Lake
9 T2 Kentucky Kingdom
10 Thunderhawk Geauga Lake
11 Titánide Terra Mítica (before the inner park relocation)
12 Twisted Typhoon Wild Adventures

And I saw Traumatizer at Southport Pleasureland but it was SBNO the day of my visit.

I'd put Great Nor'Easter last, even with the new trains I found it just awful! Flight Deck at Canada's Wonderland I'd put just behind. I rode it back in 07 and it wasn't that bad but after my ride last year.... damn... just awful.

I have only ridden Thunderhawk at Michigan's Adventure during this time at Geauga Lake. Oddly enough, it was actually quite smooth. Definitely smoother than the Vekoma Invertigo design, of which I've ridden at Kings Island and Dorney Park.

 

[Jordanovichy]

I've only ridden Infusion at BPP so I don't really feel I can vote plus I didn't find it too bad if I'm honest.

 

[Hutch]

Only been on Mind Eraser at SFNE...

 

[Intamin to Win]

I've been on the Mind Erasers at SFNE and Darien...gotta say, I didn't hate them that much.

 

[LiveForTheLaunch]

That THING at Canada's Wonderland is easily the worst. I gave it a second chance on one of my recent visits, but never again. It's just so awful.

Second worst goes to the OTHER Thing at SFNE.

Of the 3 I've ridden, Infusion is by the far the roughest, but has a half decent layout. Kumali was dull and forgetful. Jubes is awsome.
