A headbanger, yes.  Worst coaster ever? No.  

I rode many, many times.  I never understood why it received the overall hate.  To me it didn't head bang any worse than most other Arrow multiloopers.  Heck - the long defunct Shockwave at SFGAM, or GASM at SFGAdv were worse IMO.

Drachen Fire's downfall... was very poor placement... and the fact that it wasn't the ride BGW really wanted (B&M.)   By default, it had one of the best elements on any Arrow - the inversion immediately off the lift - that only came to pass when Arrow took over the failed B&M contract.  

Do I miss it?  No.  But it was a pretty cool coaster when it was first built.
