I'd go for Son of Beast out of that lot. I really enjoyed it and after all it did have a steel section to provide a smooth part of the track. I suspect it's now rougher with the removal of the loop.

I reckon Mean Streak is the smoothest of those ones, from my own experience / memory. It wouldn't be the Rattler though.
Son of Beast was the worst of those in my view.

Meanstreak nearly broke my spine...! I've not ridden the others but they must be bad to be worse than Meanstreak...

Cyclone at New England is the best, the rest need removing to allow good wood coasters in the space.

I can only comment on Mean Streak.
I felt much better after some heavy-duty pain killers and a little sleep.

Is Mean Streak really that bad? I'm hoping to get on it next year.

Bad is understatement it is rough and painful but I enjoyed it like that.

Canada Wonderland's Wild Beast re-defined smooth but what a fantastic late-night ERS. Bumps, lumps, bruises and squished organs took a back seat compared to the fun we all had.

I must agree with Frosty
ERS can make the ride!
But overall , aren't they all BOS!!

If we're talking "smoothest" by Ryan's definition of "smooth", I nominate G-Force at Drayton Manor...
