Disagree with you in a big way on Kingda Ka.

It is what it is, a two-trick pony. A ridiculously fast launch and a HUGE hill. But that's enough to make this ride one of the best in the world. There is simply NOTHING else like it. The closest comparison I can draw to that launch is skydiving – it really feels the same with the wild buffeting and and the blast of air to your face. I've never seen anybody get off of that ride and look like they were disappointed by the experience.

I dont think its overrated as you rarely hear about it. Its a fantastic family ride, though.

I agree with all except Raven, I really liked that ride!

Kingda Ka is incredible, but its not a great coaster. Its simply an adrenaline rush.

I hate Goliath personally, and think its a terrible ride. I perfer the B&M creations over Giovanolas crap creations any day.

Agreed. Raven is a bit short, but It's still a great ride. Okay, maybe not the best, but still a GREAT ride.

I can't believe Brian had the guts to put "Rolling X train" at Everland, Korea, as "the 5th most overrated coaster in the world"

I don't agree on your comments on Goliath. I've ridden it 14 times in my 2 days at SFMM and just LOVED the airtime it offers on the first drop (in the back) and the camel back (all of the train). I found a way to have the restraints (which are excellent) fairly loose (at least 4 inches between my legs and the restraints, and each time I would be lifted up all the way. Amazing and fun.

Also, I had no blacking out or graying out problems in the helix. It is insanely intense, and I think it's fun having such an intense element that is just too much for some people. Not every coaster is for everyone, but I loved this!

I don't agree with you about the Manhattan Express, when I went on it, it was so fun, I loved the drop and the loop, and before that, I was afraid of roller coasters, so I asked some people in line about it, and they loved it.

I gotta agree with millenium force being on here. i rode it about 10 times the last time i was at cp. every time just begging for it to give me airtime. sadly it failed every time. its just unecessarily fast and has zero ejector time. So many people love it for some reason tho…

Pepsi Max Big One is overrated. For some strange reason, everyone seems to think it goes 87mph and is 235ft tall. When I rode it, the only fun bit was the twisting drop. All the other bits were quite slow and gentle, they weren't bad but they were certainly not thrilling.

Vampire Suspended Coaster at Chessington world of adventures is soooo overatted for me. It has a tiny drop, it does like a few tight turns and then that's it. So what if the themings very good? You don't go on a ride to look at the scenery!
