Tonnerre de Zeus, this coaster sucks I don't like it at all...

MF is pretty overrated too, I didn't feel anything except for the bugs that were hitting me in the face [:(!] No airtime on an intamin Giga? WTF!

El Toro... who gives a crap? its tall steep, and nothing like an out of control woody... i'm sure its a nice ride and all, but it still seems overrated to me...



have you ridden el toro..?

Why does everyone think Toro is overrated because it's not a real wooden coaster, they have nothing to do with eachother at all...It's not like people say "OMG TORO WAS SUCH AN OUT OF CONTROL CLASSIC WOODIE, SO I LOVE IT!" The ride itself is insane! It feels so fast, it's got one of the most awesome drops anywhere, and has amazing airtime. It's a fantastic ride, not a fantastic classic wooden coaster.

Most overrated though, Montu IMO. It's a pretty good ride, I'm not saying I don't like it, but I don't see how it's the best invert around...It's pretty forceless and feels kind of slow. I liked Silver Bullet a lot more, actually.

Yeah I know many people think that I'm crazy but I only rode it once and it was horribly rough and it hurt badly... so I may reride it and change my mind but for the moment I don't like the ride.

BUT i think this video actually shows how much airtime the ride had and the ejector over the crossover.





Dude vidoes seriously jsut cannot do justice to the insane amount of airtime on El Toro

PS jayman it's aging like a real wooden coaster :P the debate weather or not El toro is a wooden coaster is the single most pointless thing in the world..."OMG it's smooth it can't be a woodie" well what is it made out of...Wood? yeah...case closed.

Okay, i think everyone has argued back for El toro enough now... lol.

erm, I would say Oblivion. Most people do say its too short and everything which i agree with, but everyone also says BUT ITS SO INTIMIDATING AND SCARY. Which it isnt. It is a really fun ride while it lasts, but its just not scary enough for that to be the sole thing it relies on, the intimidation factor.

Personally the screaming eagle at six flags st.louis. Its said to be a wonderful woodie but i don't like it.
Trim breaks are your enemy, retracking/smoothing is your friend. I miss b&m floored sit downs. coaster count=39

I'm not sure about everyone else but I LOVE Kingda Ka. Probably one of the most fun 20 seconds I've ever had.

Dude, tall, fast? Why were you just bashing Dragster then? The launch on Dragster kicks the living shiz out of MF's air. I still love MF, but there really is almost no air on it.

I'm afraid I have to give my gold medal to Millennium Force.
I was amazed by its height but surprised by the total lack of excitement.
Hey guys,I know we give a free and personal opinion but names like El Toro or Montu are NOT in this list.[;)]

[B)] Who said it has to be the best Invert around? Montu's an amazingly forceful ride, and there aren't a lot of inverted experiences like that, diving in and out of tunnels and egyptian trenches...Montu's one of a kind.

I have to say:
Mean Streak - ROUGH!
Hypersonic XLC - ROUGHER!
X - Flight - Boring

I forgot~ Expedition Everest

Special effects were cool but I didn't like the layout.

wow, you just dont like any coasters do you. jk. But seriously i think the only reason Beast is overrated is because its trimmed to death.

MF is by far the most overrated coaster. #2? Hah! Yeah right...
Second-most overrated coaster is probably...Son of Beast. I know nobody on here likes it, but EVERY SINGLE one of my non-coasterically-inclined friends loves it. They say it's the best ride in the park! That's one thing I have yet to figure out.
