Trailblazer at Hersheypark. I don't like the colors, theming, or the entire ride experience. It just doesn't look right being near Storm Runner. I know that Trailblazer's getting a paint job, but I think that black's just not Trailblazer's color. I wish Hersheypark would get rid of this & put in a better family coaster to replace it.

The paint on iron dragon was new for the 2004 season. The paint looks like leftover from TTD.
Trailblazer is the worst coaster I have ever ridden. Even if it was the nicest lookin coaster in the world, one ride on it and you wont ever want to look at it again. Thats how i felt...

I kinda like it's look, it's really confused looking to say the least. It could have used a new paint job though, but whats the use now?

Green trains, gray (or iy may have been black) rails and the red spirals? Aw, man, I think it looks aweful! I mean, a snake may share those colors, but that doesn't make the snake ugly too, to me. The spirals look bad too, I just can't explain why I think that but to me they make the ride look even worse

 Those trains were awesome you bum!
Anyway, a completely ugly ride is any traveling Zyklon style coaster. You know, those ones with the chipping paint and wooden blocks to hold them up.

Hey man, The Laser at Dorney is held up by wooden blocks too 
Anyway, yeah, the trains on Viper were decent, but they just didn't go with the track at all.

You can't find a coaster any uglier than the wild mouses at Quassy Amusement Park in Connecticut. They look like something that could be set up for a backyard BBQ next to the badmitten net.

Shockwave at Paramount's Kings Dominion. The paint scheme never looked good and the fading of paint has only added to the misery. Its not a really good coaster either...Not much to see. I say they scrap it and make something new and better.

Because it is...I was there last summer and it just looked like an old ride...The entrance to it looks like a traveling midway ride. Its like you are getting on a "Tilt-a-Whirl" rather than a multi-million dollar coaster.

Invertigo at Paramount's Great America is pretty ugly. The paint looks faded and just wasn't that sharp anyway.

I dunno, I think the blue supports kind of set it off. IMO it looks way better than a bunch of other crappy rides.
BTW...not to be picky, try to use a hyperlink next time.

I guess I am just not a fan of yellow and blue. They don't go together to me. And the yellow looks really faint.
Thanx- for the info!

I wouldnt really call my opinion info... But really, I see where you're coming from. If not for the blue, I would definately call it ugly.

Although you can't actually see the track, the ugliest one on my list is Disaster Transport at CP. Who's idea was it to put that ugly building on the beach.

Wanna know the worst ride ever? Red Devil at Ghost Town This is one of the scariest rides I ever had on a coaster because my restraints were broke and it felt liek I was going to fall out, they did not do a good job of keeping this ride up to date and SAFE.

No, we're talking ugly rides here. I may need to come up with a new personal "favorite" (if you can call it that) once this ugly machine is removed:

EWWWW!! That thing looks like a coil of razor wire fence.
The ugliest ride I can think of right now is the Musik Express at Lake Compounce. It needs to be painted, half of the lights are missing and the themingLs terrible.

I just saw this and im not sure if I would go near it in fear of it falling on me. Its the thrillseeker at seaworld in Australia. It just doesnt look too sturdy.
BTW: it says on RCDB that It closed in 2002 and has been advertized for sale for 50,000 dollars. :uhoh:

No, those Galaxi-type coasters never look sturdy enough, and they usually donLt look like theyLre worth more than $50, let alone $50000
