It's always unfortunate when you have such high expectations for a ride and it fails to live up to the hype. Some of these rides aren't bad at all- and are in fact, quite good- but if all you hear are good things about it, it can be discouraging when its not that perfect experience you imagined. These are 15 of the most overrated roller coasters we've ridden!

@@Xolivas1 Having ridden both many, many times over the years, I can tell you definitively that they are extremely different. Diamondback is a classic B&M Hyper: a series of parabolic airtime hills, a hammerhead turnaround, midcourse break run, a mini-helix, and a splashdown. Orion’s first drop is way steeper (and 85 feet taller, which you absolutely feel), has one traditional airtime hill, a much faster speed hill, a totally unique helix, and then its other elements all feel very different.

It was the first time a ride has violently bruised my thighs because of how violent the airtime was. I’m going back this summer when it hits 100°+ to relive the magic (pain).

So the thing with Millennium Force is I think it depends on what you look for in a coaster. I rode it the year it opened it was like nothing I had experienced before. Then rode it again this year and while still fun I can name a bunch of coasters I prefer. But here’s where it’s interesting. This year my 16 yr old daughter rode it for the first time and it’s now her favorite coaster. She couldn’t get enough of the pure speed. So while my favorite coaster at Cedar Point is Maverick because I love G forces and whippy rides, hers was Millie just due to the sheer force of it. All about what you look for in a ride.

I just posted something similar about Nitro. Millennium Force served it's purpose at it's time. It has been overtaken by faster and furiouser rides like Fury325 and Intimidator305. It's not the rides fault that it was built to give a specific experience. In a climate where we want the tallest, fastest, scariest, rides......we have to remember the value of the rides that came before those and enjoy them for what they are. Great view. Memorable experience getting splattered with bugs.

I think at this point we have to come to terms with the fact that you are really in the minority with your take on Zadra.. As your comparison with Gwazi showed, Im convinced that more people like Zadra over Gwazi and that result would even become more clear the more people you ask. Same goes for the overall coaster youtubers who rode both, specially the ones with high counts. And since the middle of last month I can testify this for myself. Went to Energylandia with the only other elite ride I ever rode prior being Geforce and at first I was kinda underwhelmed as well because it hadnt warmed up yet. Hyperion was indeed good but even there its still a tough match between Geforce and Hyperion because the drop and the first hills are just so insane on Geforce.. overall Hyperion took the edge tho because the drop is also nasty plus the speed height and mix of elements just make it more enjoyable overall. Compared to Zadra tho? Not warmed up, 100% Hyperion. Warmed up? No chance. Its just a night and day difference. Warmed up every element of Zadras masterful Layout was taken at geforce level. Its just insane. The airtime may not be as abrupt as on other coasters? But I dont have the slightest of problems with that. It may pull 0.2 gs less than geforce on paper? Idk? But I wasnt missing anything while riding. And we didnt even ride at the very evening. Just pure ecstasy start to finish. Dont know what the deal is with you guys loooool but yeah. The more I browse the cosster community the more I realize that your take on Zadra is actually very lone. Guess I will have to come to terms that our coaster taste differs.. shame it had to be you tho..

Also I have my troubles with the meaning of floater and ejector airtime. Im only getting back into coasters (for the first time „seriously“ lol) and I still dont have an exact definition. I always thought everything up to minus 1 or someting was floater and everything above ejector but reading more into it I feel like its just the speed at which it reaches those forces(?) if thats the case I rarely have a preference (or may even lean towards floater) between the two. As long as the end forces pulled are the same? Could t care less allthough I like the feeling of being gradually pulled out of your seat also a lot. And Zadra has some niiiice moments of that.

If you built The Beast in 2023 every roller coaster fan would mock it for doing nothing. Lots of long straight sections, a giant DOUBLE helix in an era when helixes are laughed at. But in context this was a coaster built basically by hand in the back woods of Ohio by the park itself, not by some outside company. In context the Beast is a massive achievement. Compared to a new premier coaster it sucks.

The one major plus it has going despite the straight sections is that it constantly builds speed until the second lift hill.

Most of these I haven’t ridden, but here’s my opinion on the ones I’ve done: 1. Storm Chaser (I know this wasn’t officially on the list but it’s my favorite RMC out of the four I’ve done) 2. Orion and Millie - the only two giga’s I’ve ridden and I think they are amazing rides, but fury definitely looks better 3. Thunderbird - yes I am one of those people who thinks this is the best in the park, I’m not the biggest fan of woodies in general (The Beast is a weird exception i got a crazy ride on that) and that last inversion on tbird is just fantastic 4. Magnum - now I wouldn’t call this one of my absolute favorites, but that airtime is so powerful and it was a lot smoother than i was expecting (tbh I was expecting to hate it because of what y’all and others say about it but i kinda enjoyed it) Can’t wait for the underrated list!

@@StamfordBridge the fact you weren't blown away by it either tells me perhaps it wasn't in its best form on those days?

I love my RMCs, but that doesn't mean I don't have more fun on other "less good" coasters.

I rode Millenium Force when it first came out and I maintain the same opinion today. Greatest first drop, and then after that...pfft. It flattens out. It's essentially a fast ride through the park. But NO WAY is NITRO is overhyped. If anything it's underrated! Great drop, great airtime. Just enough G force. Smooth and surprising. A thoroughly enjoyable, perfect ride.

So can we make that happen!

These are just not elite. Magnum shouldn't be the top at Cedar Point, but I don't think it is overrated as a whole. The drop is the weakest part for sure. Thunderbird was a strange choice. Really good wing coaster. Never heard anyone saying it was better than Voyage, but to put it in the discussion with the other 2 is completely valid.

My overrated coaster is actually a whole class of coasters: all of the RMC Raptor tracks. They’re low capacity rides with complicated moving queues that teenage Six Flags workers don’t want to manage which only reduces capacity even more, generally short length rides with tracks developing problems fairly quickly due to the forces on them (see how rough Wonder Woman Golden Lasso has gotten). I was absolutely stunned when Iron Rattler in particular got ranked lower than any of the raptor tracks in the RMC video, so maybe it’s a combination of me thinking Taylor has underrated I-Rat with my strong feelings about this ride type

No doubt that Taylor extremely underrated Iron Rattler, as many are doing these days. That happens to a lot of great rides over time, as enthusiasts get tired of the older models. I have thought since 2018 that the RMC raptors are very overrated. Wonder Woman rode rough for me in that first year. The restraints & sitting position take so much away from the enjoyment of the elements for me. I think they are decent supporting coasters, but nowhere near as good as others say they are. Jersey Devil isn't even top 5 in the park for me, and SFFT Wonder Woman is on the verge of dropping down to # 4 there, as I debate putting Cliffhanger ahead of it.

I think swing launches overrated and I really don't see in any way how Top Thrill Dragster with a swing launch will be better than the original or best in the world (some ppl are actually saying). I don't care about rollbacks, tallest coaster (the train won't even go all the way up the spike), a longer ride, or more elements (ride something else if you want these last two), I don't think that's worth slowing down and the great intense launch that TTD was known for. Swing launches kind of feel like valleying in reverse and they feel weak compared to one intense launch and there's plenty swing launches around anyway so they're really not a 'unique experience'. I find having no launch more exciting like going up a lift hill and down and drop at least you get to the top speed in one shot. I guess Cedar Point will be home to the two most overrated coasters on earth: TTD with a swing launch and Millennium Force.

I personally like both Millennium Force and Magnum XL because of their history. Even though time and technology have moved forward, the fact they are still there to ride after all these years, and you can marvel at the barriers they broke while getting a window into what it was like when roller coasting passed these particular milestones elevates the experience. If the exact same structures were built today, they wouldn't have the same vibe. I realize not everybody will care about this, but if you do, it's easy to understand why many people give them extra points.

I 100% agree with your statement. I feel with both of them being young that they didn't get to truly experience the nostalgia of both coasters being the first of its kind at the time. Sarah even said Taylor was 3 when Millennium Force opened in 2000. I was 11 and rode it for the first time in 2005 when I was 16 & my first Cedar Point trip (been there 5 times now). It was for most of us our first giga coaster and will always hold a nostalgic place in our hearts regardless of its age and newer coasters out. I've been on four giga coasters and only have Millennium behind Fury 325 as my favorite of its type. Orion is overrated & Intimidator 305 at Kings Dominion is more focused on fast turns and lateral G forces than big airtime hills.

Consider this: I don’t think twisted colossus is a sub-par layout at all. It’s definitely not as good without the duel. But maybe that’s just because it’s disappointing to expect a duel and not get one. It wasn’t overhyped the first 3-4 years it opened. It was shiny white green and blue sparkling at the front of the park and you go to watch it duel. Blue side has awesome airtime and green side has great off axis moments and the best inversion. But then operations got lazy and with Untamed, Wildfire, SteVe, Iron Gwazi, and Zadra we learned to expect more out of RMCs. So I think it was the best they could have done at the time and the hype has appropriately died down

Twisted Colossus being on this list is 100% the fault of operations at SFMM (which isn't really surprising with Six Flags these days...)

I went around the same time as you all and was super lucky to get two duels back to back, which made the experience soooo fun. Otherwise it's just a mid-tier RMC.

I disagree with the Ohio ones only because the Giga coasters I had really low expectations for them especially Orion but because I had low expectations they exceeded them. As for Magnum it is on my top 5 because when I went to Cedar Point the first day I was there I thought it was the worst ride in the park but I gave it a second chance the second day and it is now in my top five overall with Millie Maverick Steve and Lightning Rod.

I have to disagree with twisted at SFMM being overrated. It’s layout is one the best ride layouts ever with so much airtime and intensity I didn’t really care we weren’t dueling

Orion isn't overhyped, but yeah.. it definitely could've been better... not from stats but the layout. Still the 3rd best giga though.

Disagree with the treatment of Twisted Colossus, but I guess I can understand the perspective. I will now bore you with backstory. I'm a coaster nut, but a novice when it comes to being able to travel and compare the parks in other places, so I appreciate your informative channel. I'm on the west coast of the US, so as a kid, my home parks were Disneyland, Magic Mountain, and Knott's. It was a 400-500 mile drive in my family because we couldn't afford to fly. That was pretty much it for us back in the day for theme parks. But, like how I imagine folks that live closer to a park like Cedar Point (bucket list) understand, Magic Mountain was my favorite home park of the three and seemed to be a place for ride experimentation and was always THE park with the World-Class coasters, even though ride maintenance at a Six Flags ain't exactly Disney, it was always packed with visitors and always a positive experience for me growing up. I remember the place pre-everything you see today, when Gold Rusher, Revolution and Colossus were pretty much it for the coasters. A new Arrow coaster arrived in '88 called Ninja. It was the biggest, baddest thing I ever saw (even today I kinda still love it). The track was freaking ABOVE you (what?!?). I must have rode it 40 times when it opened. Then a few years later I got to see the largest steel Arrow coaster at the time get constructed right up the hill from Revolution. It was called Viper. It was the biggest, baddest thing I ever saw, and It put you upside down many, many times. I must have rode it 30 times when it opened. The restraints alone might give you fractures. I rode it when it first opened and was supposedly 'smooth'. Hint: it was never smooth. Arrow tracks were never smooth to begin with. See: Matterhorn. It was supposed to be a kick in the teeth to ride. Uncomfortable, but thrilling. So we did it anyway, because it put us upside down a crazy amount of times. Eventually we got X (literally an experimental coaster put into production). Then X2. It might just be the best coaster ever, or vomit inducing nightmare fuel to some, but again, at the time, No. Other. Park. Had. It. Period. Then, over the years, more coasters and more land were acquired. From Batman to the Green Lantern tragedy to Wonder Woman, the park expansion over my lifetime has been nothing less than incredibly aggressive. But for me one ride sort of stood the test of time, and that was the gigantic white IAD wooden roller coaster called COLOSSUS. Disneyland had nothing like it. Knott's had nothing like it. It was just this super tall, super fast, looming parking lot centerpiece that was the biggest, baddest thing I ever saw and pretty much an airtime factory until the day they killed it. It was smoother to me than all other wooden coasters in comparison, and I was bummed. However, I was overjoyed when I read Colossus was being renovated by some company called RMC to be even better than before. So my last visit to MM was when Twisted Colossus debuted. But, I had a lot to do (Drop of Doom, Full Throttle, everything else) before I would make my way to ScreamPunk and TC. The sun was going down, so my first RMC experience was a night ride, and honestly, I was exhausted. Welp, that woke me the heck up and instantly broke my brain in how good it was. A pretty accurate imitation of the old track layout, but full reliably mobius setup, taller, faster and every ride dualed. Period. That was its selling point, if I remember correctly. The Top Gun stall in the first half was always looking straight down at the other train. So if the current operations are no longer running it this way, yeah, I would agree it might degrade the overall experience. For some rides, that ambiance is a key factor taking in the full experience. My only other RMC is Iron Rattler in Fiesta, TX. Another fantastic coaster. So I'm going back this summer to catch up on the DC dark ride, West Coast Racers & Wonder Woman. I hope TC won't be as you describe, because I love that coaster. :(

I love your guys like, conversation podcast sort of style. I really love these videos and they feel engaging. I like your takes 👍. Especially Twisted Colossus one. I have not ridden it but the layout looks worse than a lot of other RMCs. I also like your take on Orion. I have not ridden it but I personally think Fury 325 is overrated for like 8 reasons and I personally like even Arieforce one better. Also the Arieforce ending does suck but you can brace for it. Also the brake run on it is so bad

A lot of people will probably disagree with me on this one so hear me out here... Skyrush. I will say it is definitely the most intense coaster at Hersheypark, and it has the best first drop in the park, even including Wildcat's Revenge. But the restraints made it more painful than I would have liked. Especially in the second half. Also, it was a bit shaky at places. It wasn't huge, but it was noticeable. It's still a really good 8/8.5 out of 10 ride, and I completely understand why people love it so much, but personally, I preferred Wildcat's Revenge, and even Candymonium more. Edit: I rode it again, and it got a bit better. Probably 9/10. Can't pick between it or Candymonium still. Wildcat's Revenge it still #1 though.

The restraints on SkyRush are a B I agree with that wholeheartedly as well as I wished SkyRush was a little longer, but the intensity and forceful airtime moments make up for it. I got Wildcat's Revenge #1, SkyRush #2, Candymonium #3, Lightning Racer #4, & Fahrenheit #5.

Two overhyped coasters in Germany are the two big rivaling launch coasters, Blue Fire and Taron! They are both cool rides, but in the beginning both were so overhyped! Meanwhile the hype went to the right level, but you still got some thosies hyping them all over the internet and so. 😅

I think the most overhyped Coaster I have ever witnessed is F.L.Y. at Phantasialand. German coaster enthusiasts probably wanna beat me up for that statement. And it is valid for everything Phantasialand does. That park is very small, extremely good, but also way overpriced. But for some reason it has a cult like follwing of fanboys who don't accept any other opinion or even park. That is annoying as hell in fan enthusiast forums.

The thing with FLY is, it is an amazing overall experience but only a mid ride in my opinion. There is to much love and hype for this thing without criticism at all.
