If we’re talking specifically about wooden coasters, then it’s Blackpool’s Grand National for sure; I was genuinely quite worried for my spine going down some of the drops!

Great American Scream Machine at Six Flags Over Georgia, even with new trains and partial retracking it is still very rough. Neither of those will help the biggest problem though, it stops like it's hitting a concrete wall at full speed. I often wonder how many people a year get whiplash. I've been in the queue at Blue Hawk and watched peoples heads visibly snap hard.

GASM, I won't ride it anymore, and it was always my favorite as a kid. Blue Hawk is fairly smooth especially in the back, that's my 3rd favorite in the park after Goliath and Twisted Cyclone.

Son of Beast during opening year, before any of the support structure was reinforced, was absolutely brutal. The rose bowl was the most unpleasant experience I've ever had on a ride. That's the only time I've ever found a ride so painful that I couldn't find any enjoyment. If crushing spines is cool, then consider Son of Beast Miles Davis.

I rode it again in 2003, and it was actually pretty tolerable. A completely unrecognizable experience from my first ride. It seems all of the structural reinforcement really did improve the ride experience, even if the engineering was less than adequate.

What part of your body hurt on son of beast? Was the rosebowl helix still the roughest and most jackhammering in 2003? What coaster you ever been on was the worst, roughest and most jackhammering and why? What wood coaster is the roughest and most jackhammering and why?

Spine, brain, internal organs... it was pretty bad. Usually my tolerance for roughness is pretty good, but that was just too much.

If memory serves, that was still the roughest part, but it was much better than when it first opened. It still jackhammered pretty hard in the rose bowl, but more on par with other rough wooden coasters.
 
I can't remember if Stampida was jackhammering or just rough, but either way it was **** and deserves a mention. Villain jackhammered my cousin's boob out of her tank top so I guess that deserves a mention, too.

Viking coaster at Energylandia. That think is just horrible in all ways, the jackhammering into those stupid OTSRs is just horrendous. Who even came up with the idea of putting big bulky OTSRs on a spinning wildmouse? That thing should either get scrapped or get proper Zamperla trains.

Colossos just before it shut down in 2016 had some serious jackhammering in the final hills past the helix of doom.
