Going against General Opinion!

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.

^Montu is a great ride! I respect your opinion though. I agree with the rest of your list.

A furious storm once roared `cross the sea, catching ships in its path, helpless to flee. Instead of a certain and watery doom, the winds swept them here to Typhoon Lagoon!

Overrated

Superman at Six Flags Magic Mountain really thought it was a pretty boring ride. And with the hundreds of shows about it on TV, I was expecting it to be better.

Hades at Mount Olympus It was pretty forceless the day I rode it. But with wooden coasters it's always possible I just caught it on a bad day.

GhostRider at Knotts same thing, could have just caught it on a bad day but it wasn't anything great.

The Beast at Kings Island. Really disappointed by it.


Rides I like that most people seem to complain about:

Scream at Six Flags Magic Mountain. Everybody complains that it's rough, I don't get it. Turned out to be one of my favorite rides at Magic Mountain.

Iron Wolf. Some hate it, I like it.

Son of Beast. It was my favorite wooden coaster at PKI, it was just as rough as Racer and Beast but had a better layout.
Go Bulls!

Some rides that I have found to be very disappointing over the years would be-
V2-very boring
DeJaVu-Another boring ride that isnt worth the wait unless it was a walk on.
T2- A painful ride that was medicore at best
Thunder Run- When I rode this several years ago I had a great time on the ride, but last year it was awful with no air time on it, it seems the park has ruined what was once a excellant ride.
Superman ay SFMM was a ride that looked great when I saw it on TV. but was boring once I rode it, it didnt go anywhere near the top and compared to the rush of Excelrator at Knotts it sucked!!

AE at SFGAM, this ride IMHO has become boring over the years with little air and not much going for it.

Rides that I heard bad things about like Mean Streak and Psyclone at SFMM I found to be enjoyable and not painful. I also enjoy Iron Wolf and dont find it to be painfull though most people complain about it. I also enjoyed the first generation free fall ride at SFMM(cant remember the name), it was a little rough but the drop was excellant.

Rides like Viper/RB at SFGAM I think are under-rated in any poll you see of rides. I think both coasters almost always give you a great ride but never get the credit they deserve in polls of enthisuiats IMHO.

.

Actually, if you ride AE when they dont have the blocks or brakes running, its very fast with tons of air time. I also think that ride has a lot of lateral g's.
