Yero Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 (edited) Some people have got bad comments on Coasters I like... example Xpress (Superman:The Ride) @ Walibi World, it's an outdoor RNRC, but it's verry smooth for a Vekoma and the launch is really great (Ok, I haven't done TTD or Kingda Ka) but it's has some good G's. And the outside coaster part is good, because it's a little bit above water (and concrete) and that gives a free feeling. Some people think the ride is a "real Vekoma"..painfull, but I think it's not, and also some people think it's boring because it's not indoors, well RNRC in Paris is better, but it's only because of the theming... that always is a + by me. Have u got some coasters that you think of that they are underrated? (oh yeah, i'm sorry if you have got difficulties with reading this, i'm from Holland and my English is a bit messed-up) Edited November 26, 2012 by robbalvey
coaster1 Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 Dania Beach Hurricane Thunder Run at SFKK Nex Mexico Rattler
BiCoastal Kid Posted June 8, 2005 Posted June 8, 2005 ^ I wouldnt NM Rattler, since the only reason it doesn't get many rave reviews is because not many have ridden it. I'd say: Mantis Disaster Transport Thunder Road BTR @ SFGAm
Coasters 4 ever Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Laser @ Dorney Park. Although is ride is VERY short, it has strong forces and, now the best part, only a lapbar!
Homer Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Scorpion... you still gotta love the crazy positive G's on this thing with only a lap bar.
Gregory DG Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Scorpion... you still gotta love the crazy positive G's on this thing with only a lap bar. You are talking about Scorpion at BGT right? That and Python are two of my favs. Short but sweet. (I do like Scorpion a bit better tho.)
WillMontu Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Kraken - Great ride in the front seat, almost never a line. First went during the passholder preview day and we didn't need to get off half the time.
benzo41190 Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 Blue Streak at CP. This ride has no line (garenteed rerides) and has awsome lap bars that dont close all of the way. This ride also delives TONS of airtime in the rain. The best seat is 1:3. There old buzz bars were awsome!
Rugged One Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 So what your asking about are rides that are underrated in the sense that other people bitch about them but you like them for one reason or another? If that's the case I'd have to go with the Hersheypark Wildcat. While it can get rough in the back, the front is a top-notch, awesome ride.
DancingDays Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 I definitely agree with Scorpion @ BGT. A very fun ride that is really a hidden gem at a park that already has a number of good coasters. Personally, I'd pick B:TR @ SFGAm. Still THE best B&M I've ridden. No other B&M can match the quick shot of intensity that this thing delivers. And one other that perhaps could be underrated is Cornball Express, but only because not too many have ridden it. Better than Raven, in my opinion.
deathmole Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 The Bullet at Flamingo Land. It gets very little publicity and no one pays much attention to it - but I'm sure Robb will agree with me in saying that this ride is one amazing shuttle coaster - absoloutly fabulous. I will be damned sad to see it leave FL (only 80 miles away from my house).
sfdlfan11 Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 i agree that blue streak is underrated. we rode it like 5 times on our tirp to cp. also. Batman Knight Flight t gueaga lake. Well actually a lot of coasters at gueaga lake. theres never lines and they have classic rides like xflight and Superman And i have only been there once since it is not a six flags anymore so i apoligize for not using the new names for the coasters
Coasterlicious Posted June 9, 2005 Posted June 9, 2005 .. Wicked Twister... There is never a line and it was one of the coolest coasters for me.. and the setting is beautifull.. even better now with maxair..
momo1tx Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Was looking to start my own thread, but I found this... I think Wild One at SFA is underrated. I don't hearm much about it, but it's my favorite woodie. I've only been on a few, but that includes rides like Grizzly, Roar, Thunderhawk, and others.
zburns999 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Laser @ Dorney Park. Although is ride is VERY short, it has strong forces and, now the best part, only a lapbar! Gotta agree with that. Still the best coaster in Dorney.
methos Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 exclibur at funtown usa. as of lately many seam to have forgoton boulderdash at lake compunce and wildcat is also underrated from their. i think many people knock silver bullet for a lack of speed i give it props for a more intresting layout and a few new elements. also the great white at moreys piers forgoton coasters i don't hear much about any more volcano pkd alpingust bgw bbw bgw mamba at wof comet tge
Immel Man Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Magnus Colossus at Paramount's Terra Mitica. I just think that ride looks incredible with the double dip and all. I would be very skeptical riding it though, as it's made by RCCA... Some others that I have actually ridden are: Vortex at PKI Racer at PKI Mantis (without the trim its one of the best B&Ms I've done) Canyon Blaster at Circus Cicrcus Adventuredome
zburns999 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Comet at HersheyPark and Wildcat at HersheyPark Comet-on a good day, in the back seat of the Haley's Comet train, it's an air time machine. My friend and I were out of our seats the whole ride! Wildcat-always has been an ejector air machine. That one drop on the banked turn is the most insane ejector air ever. Because of its twisted layout, its hard to predict, and there are a few parts where you "miss" the track you thought you were headed for. Thats the best quality a wooden coaster can have.
coasterfreak101 Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 ^Wow, those are some amazing coasters I don't hear about anymore at all! Comet in the back and Wildcat in the front are both pretty smooth and they're VERY airtime filled!!! I love it!!!
pgathriller Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 Some people complain about the Tennessee Tornado at Dollywood saying it is way to rough. When I rode it, it was really smooth. I didn't feel any roughness at all on the Tennessee Tornadoe. It is such a great coaster!!!
Blazen_AZN Posted November 18, 2005 Posted November 18, 2005 well this definately doesnt qualify as underrated elsewhere, i feel on this site X is way underrated! Personally it's my favorite coaster. But i understand that many people find it too rough, I didn't even notice it. Same goes for Goliath, but i may understand criticizisms for that ride, i have never been on any coaster that really gave GREAT airtime, so my thoughts may very well change this summer when i get around to some more parks around the US.
