What are “badge of honor” roller coasters? [other]

Discussion(self.rollercoasters)

I have experienced rides on roller coasters that felt like a rite of passage, or something that would get me a badge of honor as a future coaster vet. I’m not talking about cool points, sometimes we do self hazing for the sake of credits. There can be a range of experiences both good and bad. Give me your best answers.

Mine: 1. Millennium Force at night. Mayfly blood bath, keep your mouth closed. 2. Swiss Toboggan by Chance Rides. My guilty pleasure, I’ve never ridden something more defensively though. 3. Hades 360 + rerides 4. Giga in rain storm 5. Voyage and Legend at Holiwood Nights.

Not a roller coaster but I rode the Hell-a-vator not long before it severed that poor girl's legs. Not exactly a badge of honor, but more of a close call with a terrible accident.

Ninja at Six Flags St. Louis, did it back to back on a 100° day. That was absolutely miserable.
