YES B&M HYPERS
there is only one that has really impressed me - Goliath at La Ronde

but is MF really overrated? im gonna try to get up to CP for the first time this year. id think it would top Bizarro at least...

 

[Snoo]

I've been on it so many times.. it lost its luster. Plus, I like airtime.. tons of it. MF simply doesn't have it. Of course, thats my opinion.

 

[dropthefloor93]

^ well then boulderdash sounds like the perfect ride for you.

B&M's hold you down too tight so you get ZERO airtime.
MF looks too fast to get airtime.
Kingda Ka got no airtime either.

 

[Snoo]

Well.. its not just airtime.. but an experience.. hence you see X2 and TTD in my Top 10.. its just that MF has gotten boring and the airtime it does have is meh for what I love.. B&M's are overrated because of that lame floater airtime and KK is just **** because someone rides them in the front row and thinks they are smooth WHEN IT SUCKS YEAH I'M LOOKING AT YOU TAYLOR.

So yeah.

 

[dropthefloor93]

BackRow KK is the only place to sit lol.

I really wanna ride the front of a BM Diver. i've never been on a diver but i love just leaning over the drop on the Intamin mega coasters (Bizarro for example)

Im killing to get on X2
i've done kingda ka 9 times and the only fun part is the launch so im just looking forward to riding TTD

Underrated....
PMBO
Ultimate

Overrated....
Nemesis
Millenium Force

Can't think of a 3rd for either that particularly stand out from others.

In response to what other people have said...

Kingda Ka front row is INCREDIBLE. Maybe it's not the best example of a great coaster, but as a ride experience... just wow.

All B&M hypers are indeed mehish. Enjoyable, but nothing extraordinary.

Millenium Force I expected to love. Tall, fast, with a long ride time are things I generally enjoy... But no, it just was dull.

That's one of the worst ones.

Under- Evel Knievel and Prowler, as Snoo said.. And Afterburn is pretty underrated as well. There are a lot of coasters I find fun and not necessarily amazing rides too, like Mr. Freeze and stuff.

Over- Millennium Force, I-305

 

[dropthefloor93]

Afterburn...
i saw a video of that ride when i was like 7.
i've been killing to go on it since. I remember back when it was Top Gun, i wanted to ride it so bad.
Im actually taking a train down near Carowinds just to ride Afterburn...
to me that ride will always be Top Gun

but Goliath was a rather rough B&M, and i dont care for super smooth big drop coasters. no pain no gain.
