Can be a coaster or a flat but for me it has to be a dead tie between Predator and Mind Eraser @ Darien Lake, both cause too much pain

I must agree with Wazomike and Doug. Grizzly @ CGA is the worst ride I've ever been on. It's really rough and it's sooooo slow! The only good thing about the coaster is that the last part of the queue line is one of two queue lines in the whole park that have roofs over them... I ride it once every time I visit CGA just so I can say I did.

I agree, Grizzly is in fact the worst ride of all time, that I have ever ridden.  But, I ride it every time I go because somehow I try to convince myself that it can't possibly be as bad as I remember it....unfortunately it is always that bad.

OH Man, I can give you some, but I narrow that down too two which I know everybody will agree with.
Journey into Imagination with Figment now vs. the 80's version.
The 80's one had so much tangible elements in bring the idea and world of imagination to life.  Now with this nickel and dime version they got at Epcot I wonder where that little spark has left too.
Here's the bad today version.

Here's the good old 80's version that I miss so much. Just compare.

There's been rumors of and update coming and that the dreamfinder himself will make a comeback, but to real action has happened yet. I do know that many top level Pixar guy's like John were big fans of the original 80's one. So maybe there hope yet to seeing him return in a better version.


Another one is one many know about and few want to ever do. Stitch's Great Escape like Journey is one that was revamp from a classic attraction. Alien Encounter was a great scary attraction that show's that Disney can do mature things.  But it was either too good at being dark or scary or not marketable enough to sell more dolls or other kiddie crap.
I don't hate Stitch just the way this attraction is being used. They need to just change it up and give it a fun and light approach and then it's a attraction worth going to again.
Old Alien Encounter ride.

Now it's this is your god with the message of go buy my crap.

Those Disney mess-ups are both great candidates.  I'd have to give the edge to Stitch.   While Imagination is a shell of its original version (and about half the ride time), it's still not on the level of Stitch, which is painful from start to finish.   Pure torture, and even worse because Alien Encounter was a great attraction.

The worst coaster I've been on has to be Tomb Raider at Canada's Wonderland (It's called something else now but I'm not sure what).

Zamperla Volare. Those guys really shouldn't make roller coasters.
