I think calling it Europe's Cheetah Hunt is way off the mark. Calling Taron a family coaster is like calling Maverick a family coaster. Taron goes 72 mph, has multiple launches, and is generally seen as very intense.
I haven't ridden it, but I would say it easily looks like Europe's best coaster. It has the stats, layout, and even theming of a world class experience. I think any roller coaster that is as loved as Taron is (most members who rode it during the CF Live had it at either 1 or 2) is bound to be considered underwhelming or overrated by some. However, even with those who've criticized it, I've heard nothing but overall positive things. Almost everyone who has done it tends to say it is one of the best roller coasters in the world. I'm very curious who you're hearing this from as well. I don't mean to be rude to them, but I don't really take most of the Youtube coaster channels that seriously. They tend to be run by young people who are inexperienced with roller coasters and have a lot of free time. This isn't to say that their content is bad; it's just that I wouldn't cite their opinion as a valid reason a coaster is considered overrated. People go to them for news, not opinions.
