Top 10 OVERRATED Roller Coasters I’ve Ridden (2023) 

I don’t know why but Taron is underrated for me. I came in with the “It’s gonna be tame” mindset but I was definitely proven wrong. I was absolutely EJECTED on the first camelback and even the end section had ejector airtime. It’s my current #8 out of around 150 creds and I ranked it higher than GhostRider and Mystic Timbers.

100 percent with you on Lightning Rod. I think many people don’t realize how insane it was during its first couple years, I’ve never felt such insane airtime until riding Toro back in 2021. My last couple rides on it were fun, but no where near as intense as my first ones.

I’ve ridden 3 b&m hypers, and apollos chariot was by far the worst. It gave 0 airtime for me and I do not understand how people think it’s the second best in the park. As for grizzly, the only reason I love that ride is because it legitimately feels dangerous to ride it

I luv ur vids btw! Keep up the good work!❤❤❤

I’m totally with you on Lightning Rod. As we started making trips outside of Ohio, Dollywood was one our first stops solely for LRod. It was our third RMC after SV (yeah that’s gonna spoil the bunch) and TwiCy. I honestly think I enjoyed TWiCy more. I just didn’t get it. A great ride, but no where near the top of RMCs and is an average RMC for me (which is still a great ride!). Totally disagree on magnum. I didn’t like it much until I learned how to ride. Now it’s moved up to #3 in the park for me behind SV and Maverick. Row 3, put your foot on the hump so that the lap bar hits a slightly raised knees. Move your foot to the side when you leave the station and you should be left with a few inches of room and it will be a seatbelt ride. Bonkers in the ending, especially if running fast where the jerk into the triangles can get very close to -2g, which is about the limit (most RMCs peak at -1.4 to -1.5 and only the raptors in the front or back actually hit -2).

Agree with you on Magnum XL 200. Remembering the first time I rode it with my younger brother, when we got off the ride, our mom who was waiting for us asked my brother how he liked it. He said, "It was a pee-pee crusher!" I fell out laughing when he said that because it is so true. 😂

TBH taron is pretty underrated since there was a massive hate wave which really was undeserved. But still cool video!

As a sports fan, I loved that you used the analogy of playing basketball with your organs, but you can use it with any sport in general (being tackled in football, getting hit by a puck in hockey, and a pitch or baseball bat in baseball), and that’s true, but if you know me well I love getting beaten to a pulp and Grizzly (KD) does just enough for me that it isn’t jarring to me, which is why I love it so much imo.

I had the same opinion of Taron the first time I rode it. But the time I came back, it was flying, I had so much fun on it. I've ridden coasters such as Geforce, Kondaa, and Kärnan, I still like Taron better than all of them. Taron is my n2 coaster overall, I only prefer Taiga, but that might change because there is no coaster I've ridden that puts a smile on my face as often as Taron does.

Great video! I can see the reasons behind these. I remember Airtime Thrills having Lightning Rod ranked in the top 10. Sounds a lot different than what it was.

I am a Magnum lover but I do agree it's an aquired taste like hard liquor is. I personally like it because it has tons of character just like a wood coaster does and those ending air time hills are insane, I believe they pull almost -2gs which is some of the strongest airtime you can possibly find on any coaster

I use the comfort collars as handles to lessen the hang and keep from being thrown back down in the seat so hard on the bottom swings. Grizzly got bad late 2018 but of course many peoples' memories are from far earlier. I always come off my seat most hills of Apollo in the back row. Night rides make the legend though. It's not the best B&M hyper, but it is one.

Intresting, @CanobieCoaster recently put lightning rod at his #1 coaster OVER Steel Vengance. Its interesting to see how different ur opinions are.

With the exception of Medusa, which I think is slightly underrated; Grizzly, which is rough but fun; Taron, which for me is elite among the world’s coasters; Apollo’s, which I hear no one but the GTAs calling an elite hyper; and Lightning Rod, which, when I rode it, was staggeringly good, I can agree with the other five. I really loved Colossos, but when I hear people compare it with (let alone prefer it to) El Toro, I am mystified.

Finally someone who thinks Taron is overrated! It is one of the coasters I've ridden the most and I'd argue that you even were lucky. This year Taron was running at its best. It' s still in my top ten because I just rode around 60 coasters. But I really recommend a night ride on Taron. That light packeg is so beautiful!

I haven’t ridden medusa but I have similar opinions about Kumba. I rank it almost exactly the same as all of the other B&M Sit down and floorless coasters I’ve ridden. It’s still a fun supporting coaster but I only rank it 6th in the park. I just can’t understand why everyone ranks it so high.

I love that people enjoy Magnum so much, for evey person queing for Magnum that leaves one less person in the queue in front of me on the better rides at Cedar Point.

I swear if lightning rod is on here...

Was at Cedar Point last year and only rode Magnum once, despite it having zero wait to get on. Our group all agreed we didn't need to ride it again.

No one ever brings up how awful the tunnels on Magnum are on a hot day. You're basically riding through several convection ovens.

Medusa is easily my favorite floorless, on my last rides I was getting an insane amount of airtime on the inversions and it was very fun

Cool video, I also don’t consider many coaster overrated, but here are my takes anyway 10. Still haven’t done one of these lol 9. Haven’t done 8. It’s funny because I actually thought Lightning Run was overrated lol. Maybe I just rode Storm chasing when it was running hella fast, because that wasn’t “average RMC Airtime” imo. It tried to kill me, easy top 10 coaster. 7. Haven’t Done 6. Haven’t Done 5. Haven’t Done 4. Haven’t Done 3. Haven’t done 2. This is my #2 overall out of 154 so yep this stings, although you make a good point, I haven’t done it since 2019 so it could be slower now 1. Honestly this one hurts the most. Easily an elite coaster, and not just for the ending hills, the whole ride was just fun as hell. #3 in the park for me and it’s pretty close to Maverick. I’m a huge arrow simp tho so prolly biased

I live pretty close to Dollywood and Kentucky Kingdom. Storm Chaser on a hot summer day gave me the craziest rides I have ever had on a roller coaster. Full train, 90+ degrees, and I have never had to quit a ride before because my thighs actually were in pain. With my hands up it actually had so much airtime it pulled my shirt off to where my whole torso was out lol. Lightning Rod is hit or miss. Some days it rides like the most intense ride on the planet tearing through those hills and turns, and other days it has slowed down considerably. I have no clue what changes this pattern, but some days the launch feels different. I’ve had fast rides on cold days, wet days, and hot days. I really have no clue what causes it.

I honestly gotta go with pantheon. I went on Easter Sunday and look the airtime hill on the launch is amazing and same with the side bank before the brake but the top hat didn’t fling me over at all and the outer bank gave me mild floater and the zero g stall wasn’t as whippy as Velocicoaster. I like pantheon but I expected it to be more aggressive

Always a fire opening

I was kinda disappointed with Apollo too but I was fortunate enough to get some rides later in the day, and it redeemed itself. The hill profiling isn’t great on a few elements since you get nowhere near as much airtime as the newer hypers, but it still has an awesome layout and setting. The highlight for me was the return trip and the 2nd cammelback with the twisted drop, that had some insane airtime I didn’t expect. I am a B&M hyper fanboy so my opinion might be a little inflated hahah. But I’d trade Goliath at SFMM for Apollo in a heartbeat.

I agree with you on everything except for Grizzly. I love that ride. Probably because having I305 at my home park screwed up my brain. But too be fair the orange train is so much tougher than the yellow train (but they’ll both be smooth after the retract) anyway good vid gave like

Definitely agree w Tigris, Magnum and Superman, also can add Gringotts at Universal and Rougarou at Cedar Point and any free spins

I felt exactly the same with taron. Had heard it was the best thing since sliced bread but got off and was like is that it.

Didn’t expect it but if i had to pick something “overrated” El Toro would be it for me, given all the hype. Def moreso with rides i had on it right before it got shut down again.

I'm a bit sad that my first coaster at my home park was first, but hey, what do you expect from a fully handmade hyper coaster that at that time was the most costly project at cedar point at that time.

Bro....I couldn't agree more with Storm Chaser and Magnum...spot on! 👍👍

I really agree on magnum xl-200 and Superman. Superman at New England barely makes my top 100 out of 496

I will agree, some enthusiasts hype up Storm Chaser way too much. It isn't a top 5 or 10 RMC. It simply doesn't have the length and speed. However, I will say no coaster I've ridden has had as much variance in ride experience as Storm Chaser from an empty train to a full train. A warmed up SC with a full train transforms strong airtime into violent, especially near the last 3rd. You can tell if it is running fast or slow by how it hits the breaks. With a zen ride the train will struggle to get over the last hill into the breaks. However, running with full trains and it will fling you forward violently as you slam into the breaks.

L rod is by far my favorite RMC. But its got alot to do with it having the most comfy restraints of any RMC

You were 100% right about magnum it’s my least favorite coaster out of 45, and I’ve ridden mind eraser at Darien lake

I rode Lightning Rod early before all the changes and MAN did it hit different. Its still great but im so glad I was lucky enough to actually ride the original version.

Wow! I am so glad that you put Lightning Rod on this list, and so high on the list, too. I definitely believe that it's overrated. The first 15 to 20 times I rode it, I thought it was amazing and a top-notch coaster. But the more I rode it, which as of December of 2022 has been about 50 or so times, it really started to lose its flare with me. In fact, as unpopular as this is for me to say, I actually like Wild Eagle and Tennessee Tornado better than Lighting Rod (with Tennessee Tornado being my overall favorite and most ridden coaster at Dollywood). I could ride Tennessee Tornado all day, and with good reason. Yeah, it may be short in duration, but what it does in that duration always leaves me completely satisfied. I especially appreciate it's deceptive level of ongoing intensity, which I think Lightning Rod lacks. Lightning Rod does have a high level of aggression (which I love in a coaster) throughout much of it's layout -- but that doesn't make up for the other aspects of its ride experience that leave me feeling like it's just a good, fun coaster but not a top-notch, phenomenal one. I do know that after riding Iron Gwazi back in the beginning of December, Lightning Rod felt like child's play after that. The quad down on Lightning Rod is fun enough, but it's definitely not one of my favorite elements on the ride. I prefer the wave turn, the twist and shouts, the "ejector bump" just before the final over-banked turnaround -- and even the final over-banked turnaround over the quad down. Ultimately, I believe Thunderhead is more aggressive than Lightning Rod, and it provides an ongoing out of control feeling throughout the entirety of its layout that isn't happening throughout the entirety of Lightning Rod's layout. There are many coasters (other than Wild Eagle and Tennessee Tornado of course) that I like much, much more than Lightning Rod; some of which are Kumba, Afterburn, Fury 325, Iron Gwazi, Velocicoaster -- just to name a few. So, I agree with you wholeheartedly that Lightning Rod is overrated -- even somewhat highly overrated at that.

Being a UK enthusiast with a measley 60 coasters under my belt, the only coaster I've ever found to be overrated, personally, is Nemesis. A lot of people have it as number 1 in the UK, where I have it more top 14. It's a good coaster. But that's it, it's just good, not elite imo. However, I also have Saw: The Ride as top 2 UK so my opinion clearly isn't valid lmao. I would love to be proven wrong when Nemesis reopens in 2024 (ooh), but my current memories of it are just decent.

I am a staunch supporter of people having different opinions… Everyone likes or dislikes something for a different reason… I agree with a few and vehemently disagree with a few, but hey they’re all opinions. It’s all about how a ride makes YOU feel, and that’s all that matters.

I really Like Tempesto and I actually find the comfort collars comfy and Apollo's Chariot is good.

I'm with you on the Taron opinion👍

I totally agree with lightening rod.. I figured with my crazy low credit count it would blow me away, and it really didnt...sure it was still awesome, but did not live up to the hype...I want to get out again and really give it another shot, but just came up short for me

I'm passionately with you on Apollo's Chariot and Magnum! I visited Busch Gardens mainly to ride Big Bad Wolf (thankfully I made it before it got closed down!). After one ride on Apollo's Chariot, I simply thought meh! I never understood all its praise. Even POV videos look underwhelming. I decided I thoroughly dislike Magnum after my most recent ride on it. Actually, it was long enough ago that Mean Streak was still there. To think that I found a ride on Magnum rougher than Mean Streak sure says something!

A totally agree with Magnum. Not only is it overrated but it is a legitimately terrible ride.

My biggest take from this video is; you need to go back to Kentucky Kingdom! I saw you and your brother at Holiday World as you were leaving, to head to KK. The weather was terrible that day

Love how you phrased things in this vid (like "I'm not the target audience")!

Just rode apollos chariot last week, agree that is was very underwhelming. The airtime it bragged about in line, almost felt non existant.

You def need a reride in summer on Storm Chaser

With storm chaser, one of the locals told me that the purple train runs slower, which might explain why the ride hauled when I rode it I agree with magnum being overrated. I don't find it painful, but I just feel the airtime isn't as powerful as it's hyped up to be, and I was in the magic seat I also think raven is overhyped. It's fun, but imo it's too short and the 5th drop in the back row isn't even close to how powerful it's said to be for me

Taron at night hits so different. It was like phantasialand has a super boost button when it goes dark.

If Superman swaps those horrible restraints and trains with new gen intamins that would make that ride one of the best again cause I find it funny how in the station it shows when it got best steel coaster and they awards stop right as it got turned into bazzaro

Magnum is an easy #1 on my list too. Way too painful to truly enjoy

I think the lap bars on Superman the Ride are worse than Skyrush’s. At least Intamin programmed Skyrush’s lap bars to pop up on the brake run. We broke down on the brake run and sitting with that tight bar on top of the hot sun for 15 minutes was panic inducing. I am sure the layout is stellar if you don’t mind the pain/construction of the restraints, but give me the version at SFA any day.

I don’t get why people say that Apollo’s Chariot is a polarizing hyper coaster. I don’t know anyone that thinks that Apollo’s Chariot is a great B&M hyper.

Of the rides on this list, the ones I've ridden are a comfort-collar-less Sky Rocket II (Phobia Phear Coaster), and Superman: The Ride. I thought Phobia was a great ride for what it was; certainly wouldn't rank it as one of the best coasters on earth, but if you think of it as a modern counterpart to the Vekoma Boomerang or the Schwarzkopf shuttle loop, it's fantastic in that role. I like hangtimey rides, and the whip on some of the twists is nice. I can imagine that the comfort collars would make it considerably less comfortable, though. Superman is a ride I love and I think it's actually gone from overrated to underrated status among enthusiasts. The Golden Ticket Awards rating it as the world's best steel coaster were, of course, the product of an earlier age, when RMC wasn't even a coaster manufacturer and a lot of today's rides didn't exist. And these days, the Golden Ticket system still overrates it just because it's a coaster very many people have ridden--but you'll notice that Vote Coasters' Condorcet-based system ranks it way down below a lot of modern rides, including Wicked Cyclone at the same park. (That ordering is correct--Wicked Cyclone is better.) But I think enthusiasts knock Superman too much for the current restraints, which I don't mind at all. It's still a brilliant layout. My vote for most overrated current coaster that I've experienced is a sad one: it's Boulder Dash. Yes, it's an utterly unique, bucket-list experience, and the layout is classic. For what it has been and what it can be, I don't WANT to rate it down. But as of 2022 (when I rode it last), it's just gotten too rough to be considered one of the world's best wooden coasters, which many enthusiasts still regard it as. It needs a major retrack. It actually got one a few years ago but it didn't seem to help. On that visit to Compounce, I found myself actually enjoying Phobia Phear Coaster more than I did Boulder Dash, and that's just not right, shouldn't be the case.

Night rides on grizzly are epic... hopefully the retracking helps the roughness

Totally agree with you on most of these, especially Magnum, Apollo and the Sky Rockets. I missed LRod on my 2020 visit but I can totally see why it could be overrated.

Superman at New England would benefit from new trains with better restraints. The layout is solid it just need a little refresh.

My Favorite Coaster Is Steel Vengeance And Yet I Have It At Number One On My Overrated List

The best part of Apollo's Chariot is the color scheme.

I always felt the same about Superman The Ride. It's great and all but Wicked Cyclone is 10x more of my kind of ride. I knew nothing about Apollo's Chariot before I rode it and so maybe that really affects my view of it and I rode it 4 times on a dead day and I definitely have nothing but good things to say about it. It was probably the 4th B&M hyper I'd been on up to that point.

LR is so fast but its over to soon if it was a longer layout it would be top 5 rmc

Damn. These are so spot on

1000% agree with you on Apollo's Chariot

Lighting Rod is my #1 coaster but the last time i was on it was 2019, i will be there this weekend and will will see if it is deserving to be on the overrated list

Taron is one of my favourite coasters, however it really depends on the time you ride it. Taron needs to warm up. If you ride it early in the morning or the ride suffered a lot of downtime that day you'll have a much tamer ride. Sometimes Taron lets me down, but if the ride is warmed up there is not a lot that can beat it for me.

I find Taron quite tame and underwhelming. I think the reason I found it underwhelming is because everything else at the park is so much better than what you expect, all of the way from black mamba to the mine train, everything is just so much more intense and forceful than it initially looks. Taron looks forceful so after everything else you expect it to be insane and out of control… but it’s just as good as looks rather than much better than it looks off rise.

1. Sky Rocket IIs are pretty consistently sh*t on so i just cant see how those can be overrated on tbh. 2. So glad to see someone calling Magnum overrated. I swear if that ride wasn’t at Cedar Point then it would be considered an average coaster

Of the ones I've ridden: I'd disagree on the Skyrocket II (although I've only ridden Tempesto). Actually thought it was underrated and people were complaining a bit too much. Disagree on Apollo's Chariot, although I'm beginning to think I just got it on a really good day. That was a very hot summer when I rode it, but man that thing was only a little worse than Mako IMO. Hard agree on Lightning Rod. Rode it in 2019, so the retrack hadn't happened yet but the launch had still been dialed back, and going into the ride expecting ejector airtime everywhere I was honestly disappointed in getting in between no air time to mild floater from the back row up until the quad down was already finishing at which point the ejector finally arrived. It just didn't hit like, say, Twisted Timbers had. The one I'd add to the list would be Afterburn, which was an invert I went into with good expectations on the layout and just felt most of it was kind of slow and forceless. Maybe riding Fury first skewed my expectations for the day, but yeah, I just didn't feel it was anything special.

OH MY GOD, Magnum, yes, thank you! I feel like I’m going crazy when I read all the praise this ride gets. I simply cannot process that people think Magnum is the best ride at Cedar Point-doubly so when people claim it has the best airtime in the park when Steel Vengeance is literally in the background. Frankly, I wish they’d axe Magnum and put in a big Gravity Group woodie or something along the coastline-though I’m probably in the minority for thinking that.

Man kinda disappointed that storm chaser is on this list lol, you gotta ride it when it’s a hot day during mid summer, and when that thing greases up it’s INSANELY fast and the each element is way crazier.

I've only been on about half of these, but of that half the only one I really disagree with your assessment of is Storm Chaser. I rode on a hot August day in 2021 and by mid-day the trick track double up and double down at the end were punishing. I actually don't care for that style of airtime (extremely brief, extremely strong ejector pops) with any restraint that isn't buzzbars (looking at you Phoenix - never change), but it is crazy strong if Storm Chaser is running normally. Because of my personal taste (favoring more sustained airtime) I might agree with the verdict that it's overrated, but definitely not because the airtime isn't strong enough.

I knew Cedar Point would be at the #1 spot but I thought for sure it would be Steel Vengeance! I've been riding Magnum since 1989 and I said it was overrated when it was brand new. However, these days it's my favorite thing to do at CP. While I do think Steel Vengeance and Maverick are better rides, you can get like 5-10 rides on Magnum in the same time it takes to get one ride on the others. Also, it does have the strongest airtime at Cedar Point by far! Personally I like an aggressive ride. If a ride doesn't hurl me out of the seat and into the restraints I feel it was a weak ride. Which is why I thought for sure Steel Vengeance was going to top this list. It has the most airtime of any ride that you never once leave your seat. That giant 75lb lap bar makes sure you cannot possibly leave your seat and be thrown into the restraints. Even on the outer bank. Even if I get lots of wiggle room at dispatch. In fact, I can't say I have ever been stapled on SteVe. I rode Steel Vengeance 9 times last year. The only hill that had any ejector was the first half of the double up into the mid course. And it only had ejector in the back row on hot days. Most of those 9 rides had ZERO ejector airtime. Making Steel Vengeance the indisputable champion of overrated coasters in my book!

Just watched Mr Obi Wan Canobie's top 50 and Lrod at number 1 just blows my mind in so many ways. It's not even good enough to crack mid tier RMC for me. Taron is still elite in my opinion. I think if you went into it expecting great forces then you were duped, because that's not at all what the ride is about. I'd argue Velocicoaster or even Pantheon don't pull great forces either, but they're just great overall rides.

Amen on Magnum!!!

Magnum is just Steel Force, but crustier. I gave it 2 rides though just for its historical significance.

As I’ve ridden Superman so many times, on good and bad days, on the good days I find pretty underrated or rather forgotten about. And yes, I do not have a problem with the restraints. Also, I think toro is highly overrated.

Taron was for me the biggest overated coaster in the morning and the most underated in the night. This coaster shines at night. It tops Schwur des Kärnan in the dark for me.

I haven't ridden on any on these coasters, so I can't say witch ride is overrated. But my most overrated ride I been on is El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure, because the restrains are too tight and rough banked turns. Plus you might get a headache on that coaster like I did in the past.

Bro.......... storm chaser is relentless. It's my second favorite that I have ridden

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that's how it should be. But not everyone relates to each other which is why these kind of lists cause such a stir. I personally can't relate to people who find Lighting Rod to be overrated. Same for Storm Chaser. I find this especially amusing after watching Canobie Coaster's recent top 100. But then I can't understand why some people love licorice nor can I wrap my head around people being grossed out by cilantro. But that's how it is so oh well. I enjoyed the video and your content in general.

Ok I can agree and disagree on a few of these - Skyrocket II models suck I agree! Storm Chaser isn't necessarily the best RMC but for a small RMC at a lackluster park with a troubled history it is fantastic. Apollo's Chariot was enjoyable for me and I've never heard it called elite (maybe I'm talking to the wrong people) however, I still prefer it to Raging Bull at Six Flags Great America. As for Magnum XL 200 it's my #3 out of 166 and I totally disagree about it being overrated. I guess it doesn't impress everyone but it literally has everything that I love in a coaster and it's very unique. The setting out by the lake is beautiful and the first few hills give a floating sensation because they aren't as steep as B&M hyper hills for example. You go flying through the turnaround with good positive Gs and the return trip is airtime hill after airtime hill. Love all 3 tunnels and to me few rides rival this one. I will admit it's not the most comfortable ride in a wheel seat and if you marathon it like I do yes you will get a headache but the same is true of plenty of other popular Arrow coasters. In my experience X2 at Magic Mountain gave me a headache after 1 ride while it takes 3-4 to get one on Magnum XL 200. I still enjoy both but I personally find X2 to be overrated and Magnum XL 200 to be the greatest Arrow coaster I've ridden. I personally think that X2 is overrated because it's a rough ride, b&m floorless are often overrated to me because they always bang my head with the exception of Kraken at Sea World which is what every floorless should be and they aren't. El Toro was ungodly rough in Aug 2022 and after 3 rides in 3 different seats I gave up. Also a note I'd like to throw in is that different people have tolerance for different types of roughness. For example Arrows have a different type of roughness than a wooden coaster by the Dinn Corporation. I personally know how to ride arrow loopers and avoid most headbanging and the roughness on Magnum doesn't bother me much. Mine train roughness/jerking is also fine. I grew up riding the beast before re-track so rough wooden coasters that beat you side to side (against the side of the seat) are also fine....I am not as tolerant of B&M headbanging on floorless because the restraints are very bulky and hard (if there's a way to avoid it I haven't found it yet). X2 flipping you and hitting your head repeatedly on the seat back isn't exactly fun and even the rotations are not smooth as with a free spin coaster. El Toro was the worst roughness I've ever experienced (people complain about the boss, beast, mean streak and those were smooth compared to El Toro) El Toro has uncomfortable lap bars and you feel like you're hitting the concerte every time you hit the bottom of the drops. Literally the only coaster experience to make me want to see a chiropractor. As I said before, other people may find other types of roughness less tolerable than I do and I'm thinking that's why certain coasters do or don't bother certain people.

I totally respect your opinions, but a few coaster on this list are some of my favorites. Lightning Rod is my #1, Apollo's Chariot is my #5, and Grizzly is one of my favorite wooden coasters. Thunderhead is probably the coaster I found the most overrated personally, but I don't even think I got a half full train on my ride with a more full train. I have 62 credits though.

I enjoyed Apollo’s Chariot but it’s my least favorite B&M hyper and I do also think it’s kinda overrated. I rode it 3 times (front, back, and middle) and I do think the back had better airtime but front was the overall better experience due to the speed. But I don’t think it’s a great ride even though it’s still enjoyable and I feel silly about complaining about a 200 ft hyper coaster.

I’m an Apollo’s Chariot fanboy because, LOOK AT THAT COLOR SCHEME 👀👀👀

Colossus is a top tier family coaster, it’s a great build up to the fiery horns. Taron is phenomenal and delivers. LRod is epic.

I agree with you on Magnum. I rode it twice this weekend and it was decent at best both times. Ive rode magnum since the mid 1990’s and I feel like it’s slowed down over the years (or maybe everything else just got faster). It’s a historical coaster and deserves some respect but it’s not longer a great ride. P.s. blue streak is better than magnum.

With me being from Czechia, you can guess that I haven't ridden a lot of coasters. I've been to Energylandia, Freizeitpark plohn, Belantis, a lot of mountain coasters (which there are some really good in CZ and SK) and some not permanent coasters. Out of these the most overrated coaster for me was dynamite at Freizeitpark plohn. I mean it's good but I'm not the biggest fan of hangtime and outside of the 0-G roll and the first drop it was not as good as I expected

I definitely agree with Taron, the layout isn’t *that* good, it’s more about the entire package.

Magnum is old & rough. They never operate with 3 trains any more because it's always a walk on. If this doesn't scream "it's time to go" then ???

I knew Taron would be there. It's a legit family coaster with great themeing but not a high intensity thrill coaster as so many make it out to be

colossus is split into 3 halves :)

I rode Magnum in 2019 for the first time in a very long time and it beat me to death. The simple turns even jackhammered me. It’s just not that good anymore 🤷🏼‍♂️

I completely agree with Taron. Many (Germans) think it is the best ride in Germany. I don't agree. It's a family ride and it is not intense at all. There are many rides in Germany that are superior. It's still a fun ride that I would ride everyday (but only after it is warmed up).

I really enjoyed Velocicoaster, but I was surprised that it has a rattle. Nobody mentions that.

You are wrong about lightning rod,storm chaser, taron and Medusa

colossos looks wildly better than el toro, ten floater hills are way better than el toros 1 good hill and 2 floaters in the second half. I do agree with magnum though, I think after gemini/corkscrew that should be on the chopping block

I dunno, Dash...I feel like it you go into Taron (you meaning anybody) expecting a gigantic thrill ride that'll leave you speechless like X2, it's not the ride's fault. Taron was designed to be rideable by the entire family, just like most rides at Phantasialand (F.L.Y is questionable for family but still). I think calling Taron overrated is a very silly thing considering it's an Intamin that doesn't even invert once. If Taron went upside down and was that boring, then I could see it. But personally I think Taron fits the bill perfectly. I think a lot of the Taron fans you spoke of rank the ride so highly because they respect the ride for what it delivers on, not what it doesn't deliver on. Great list though. Those Grizzly clones are AWFUL. Also, it's insane you have LRod at #2 most overrated when Canobie Coaster just put LRod at #1 on his top coasters in the world. I have NEVER heard of a roller coaster dividing riders like LRod, it's actually insane.

I totally agree with you on magnum I hate that ride
