Which ride do you consider to be the roughest in the UK?
For me it has to be The Ultimate, although with the first drop on Megafobia like it is at the moment there was not much in it for me.
The Ultimate - Brutal, raw, painfull and good fun. Once ridden never forgotten _________________

Wild Mosue by far!! Its a rough experience, but rough in a good way! Love to ride it, can't believe how sharp the corners are some times it's like they are at right angles!!
Corkscrew came close and the Megafobia first drop is pretty spine crunching! _________________ Steve

Definitely Wild Mouse. I have a love/hate relationship with it. It has to be done when I go to BPB even if I don't really want to! _________________ Ride like the wind. |

But what happened to Colossus?
I rode it again last night (at about 10:30pm), and if anything it is rougher than I remember. My ears took a real bashing again. (Anybody know a good riding position) |

Sorry it has to be .........................
The Jubilee Odyssey coaster at Ingoldmells......
remember the club trip at its opening...it broke down after two runs.
This year I was staying nearby so I thought I thought I would give it a go.
I came off with cauliflower ears as my head just banged between the head restraints...it was actually quite painful!
I know the club should be quite diplomatic in its comments about a ride but this was just awful and it cost me £4. _________________ RCCGB Mem no 948

I went for Corkscrew, but the Ultimate comes a very close second for me.

Wild Mouse!!! I love it though even if it can be painful at times.
Those square corners are the best. _________________ Hayley

After doing Lightwater Valley after the Summer Bash, I still think Klondyke is rough, ( see post near top ) but I have a new No1, The Ultimate. That second half is just unbearable now. _________________ Don't look at me, I'm just Human

Ill agree that the second half of the ultimate is very rough ! im sure my body was bending in ways it shouldnt have been lol. I wasnt much keen on some of the branches sticking out towards the track either to be honest. Ultimate is rough but i do like it in some ways (3 rides done On the summer bash weekend). _________________ Fan of all things fast : Roller Coasters , cars including the lovely Audi R8 !
