Does anyone remember Rock 'N' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios being really rough? Because I thought it was really rough when I went in 2011. Still a fun ride though.
It was smooth when I rode it back in 2007... I actually made a comment about how smooth it was after riding it.

For roughest wood, joint second place goes to Rebel Yell and Hurler at Kings Dominion. Hurler remains my bottom coaster overall
I found Hurler to be quite smooth the last time I rode it in '09 but Rebel Yell takes the cake. That thing beat me to death the last time I rode it. Wasn't always that rough, actually pretty smooth back in the day. The reverse train on RY was always a lot rougher than going forwards.
