I think they need to renovate the inside of Sky Trek Tower. The brown is pretty dated.

For a while, I would have said AE Red. I still think that it is better than Blue. But lately, it seems that more people are coming to red and blue is a walk on. So, in the end, I think AE is most under rated.

I would have to say my top three are AE blue backwards of course, demon in the back, and last but not least iron wolf. My last ride on that thing was terrific. But let these rides be underated more for us and short lines! :twisted: :twisted:

I think that the most underated rides are Eagle, Iron Wolf, Demon, and Giant Drop. Me and my friends all have eagle as our top ride, but one of the reasons is because at night nobody ever rides it.

AE is definately the most underrated. I believe its better than Racer at PKI, mostly because its bigger and longer, plus the awesome helix. The last trip I took I rode AE Blue for the first time and the helix was insane. It made you think the train was going to disengrate.

Minimal trims last night in the barrel helix which I absolutly love, you can get really fast in that thing without the trims.

Well, for me definitely Viper. It seems very underrated. It's an awesome woodie with some amazing airtime. To top it off too, it's a Six Flags! ;)

^ Last year, it seemed as if Viper never had a line. This year, it seems that it has become more popular. The switchbacks have been used many times this year. I think that more people are figuring out that it isn't RB. Many times I have been walking up to Viper and have had someone ask me "Hey, is this the entrance to the orange one?". Many people have probably have thought that Viper was Bull and not gone into Viper's line because they were too scared of RB. This, in the end, results in low ridership.

Yeah, that happens a lot. I just laugh when people say, "we're not going on that sissy little wooden one, we're going on that one [point to Raging Bull]" as they stand in line for Viper.

I say Viper's theming is underrated. Most people think of Batman as having the best theming, but they forget about Viper.

Viper for sure is underated. On the plus side my friends and I like it that way.

Viper has great theming in the station, but the rest of the line is not themed. B:TR has great theming all the way through the ride (not as much now that the graffiti is gone). I would agree that Viper's theming is underrated though.

There is a lot of theming throughout the line. There is a new set of scenery right as you enter to your right.

^ I didn't think about that. I considered it more SWT theming than Viper because it can be seen from the midway, and because it does not go along with the snake oil store theme. There used to be gallows there. Now the gallows are along with a new cemetery next to Trailblazer.

Couldn't agree with you more.


Me too, but I would add TrailBlazer, American Eagle, and Condor to that list.


Yeah, American Eagle too. Ehh, in my opinion Condor and Trailblazer aren't underrated. Then again, I haven't ridden Trailblazer since 2000 or Condor since 2002.


I agree with the list along with the addition of AE. I dont think those flats are overrated but one that is is Hometown Fun Machine. Its so underrated all of you forgot about it and didnt mention it :D .

^ I also agree that Fun Machine is underrated. It's one of the most classic and family friendly rides in our park.

The Hometown Fun Machine may be old, but it's also slow and not very fun...
