Mine would have to be Viper back in 2001 when hurt my shoulders. I couldnt do anything for six weeks after that. If you could count water parks, I had a wedgie at Blizzard Beach on the top of Summit Plummit but I didnt fix it and I went down and OUCH. That hurt sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Bad.

Mean Streak beats you up pretty bad but nothing major.

The roughest coaster I've been on is prbably Python at Busch Gardens Tampa. I can barely cram my long legs into those seats and I just get jolted from side to side for the entire ride. Mind Eraser at Six Flags America was also pretty bad when it came to head banging.

Mind Eraser at SFNE was also horrible with the headbanging. It wasn't fun at all.

Mr. Hydes Nasty Fall. Extremely rough on the brake run, and to top it all off, extremely low capacity as they only run a couple cars when it's open. Hopefully that has improved, though.
The key words, though, is when it's open.

Zoomerang at LC and a traveling coaster at the Big E (aka Eastern States Expo). I will never be a huge fan of traveling rides. Either they hurt or they don't feel safe enough.
--------------------
The bad news is my coaster countLs too low to post. The good news is itLs expected to grow by 50% this season alone

I'm with you on the rides at the Big E. Some of them are downright creepy! Still a great state fair though!
I am still licking the wounds I received from the old Black Widow launched shuttle loop that used to run at Riverside Park (now SFNE). That thing found new ways to beat up the passengers while simply traveling in one direction!

I didn't think that Zoomerang at LC was too rough. It's probably one of the smoother boomerangs.

A lot of Corkscrew type coaster give a a lot of head banging against the OTSR's.

Well, out of the few I've been on, I'd have to say the Ninja at SFOG.

Mean Streak can be a bit rough. My vote goes to a woodie that I road at SFNE back when it was Riverside maybe around 97. Problem is I don't remember the name for sure. It may have been the Cyclone or Thunderbolt. I remember it being on the backside of the park on the left side if you were at the entrance looking in at the park. I didn't have a rider next to me and really remember being thrown about.

Weird...two coasters named 'The Hurricane' are my choices...
The Hurricane at the Myrtle Beach Pavilion beats the sh*t out of you. All 50 or so times I've ridden that thing, my head has suffered severe brain damage. So rough! I blame my bad grades on that ride. Still one of the best coasters ever though 
The Hurricane at Playland Park in Rye, NY is a peice of crap. No fun there, just a beating. Thank God they tore it down.

Hercules at Dorney was terrible and I know Hercules (the user) will kill me, but it just beat you up. Also Hang Time at Dorney's harnesses HURT really bad.

You could probably be talking about the Cyclone.
Nah Knoebels, its cool. Hercules was rough and really rough on occasion. It just depended on the day. No problem 
I'm not really sure what my vote is for here. Viper was pretty bad but it never really killed me. I have had bad experiences on Rolling Thunder on the back, but that was before the retracking. Scream Machine at GAdv was really bad, but I have since "learned" to ride it with about a 90% success rate. Cyclone at SFNE in the back is horrible. Hercules never really beat me up. Out of those though, I would have to go with the ride on Cyclone because I think I still have the indent of the seat belt in my small intestine. It was good airtime, but it just hurt really bad.

I know that Mean Streak is notoriously rough, but I didn't find it rough at all. Granted the trims were running like crazy on the first drop and that killed the ride, but it wasn't rough. I guess CP has the choice of making it boring and smooth or fast and rough. Take your pick.

Agreed, Mean Streak is not rough AT ALL. Not at all. Maybe it was back in the day, but definitely not anymore.

You're right. I rerode it th other day and it's not as bad as it was last year, although the restraint in my seat didn't lock so I'm lucky I didn't fall out.

So did mine, guess it's from banging back and fourth so much.

Mean Streak is getting unbearably rough. Prior to this season, I had no problem with it, but the two rides I had on it this year really hurt. Something needs to be done to fix this problem, even if it means removal.

Steamin' Demon @ Great Escape
I have yet to experience a rough Boomerang or SLC. I hate how picky some people can get. Some people think even Batman Dark Knight @ Six Flags New England is rough. Does anyone here believe that? If so, I shall bomb you in 3 days.

Yes, that's exactly what I think...although I don't think it's all that intense, just fun. But I've seen some comments saying the corkscrews are rough. I think that kind of expectation is way too high.

Hangtime at Dorney really hurt my groin! It was a fun ride and all but I wouldn't go on twice in a row.
