    Worst paintjob is a totally different story but some rides have just awful colour schemes. Most B&M Hypers have just annoyingly rainbow colour schemes. I love the paint on Apollo because it doesn't make the ride look like it was produced in the East Village. I'd have to say Talon has the...

    Do you like painful rollercoasters? I find the pain can really get my adrenaline going. I love headbangers and rough woodies and tons of ejector airtime. Mean Streak still sucks though. I really want to get some rides in on Ghostrider because I heard it was so rough. I also love a good...
