The Most OVERrated ride at SFGA

Talk about anything that has to do with Six Flags Great America and Hurricane Harbor here.

Now, im not sure if this has been asked. I didnt see it in the search but here we go. The Most Over rated ride at Six Flags in my opinion is... Batman :roll: , Why? heres why, (This might cause some controversy, which is great 8) )Batman, is a great ride, dont get me wrong however, the wait is too long for a ride that lasts so short. The Theme is really good, but i cant stand waiting in line for it. Hence the only few number of times i have been on it this year. Batman still is a great thrill, but its nothing compared to Raging Bull,Deja Vu or Superman. One thing that Batman does have going for it is an awesome reliablity.But with all that said i still think its easily the most overrated. What do you think?

I wouldn't say that batman is over rated at all, its just a great ride, superman on the other hand I think is very over rated the only thing good on the ride is really the dive loop...whats so fun about the rest of the turns really? also the flying part about it isnt really that great.

Superman is definitely overrated. The only good parts on the ride are the pretzel loop and zero-g-roll. in my opinion Batman isn't overrated, in fact it gets better each time I ride it. It's nice and fast and has some sweet inversions.

I totaly disagree about Batman being overrated. in my opinion it gets better each time I ride it, it has great theming and still gives a nice smooth intense ride. I can't really think of a ride now at SFGAm that is overrated.

I think most overrated would be V2. The rides to repetitive which leads to it not being thrilling after the third or so time you ride it. I don't know how you can say that the reason you hate Batman is because its short but then list Superman and Deja Vu as being long. Batman is a awesome ride, so awesome its been cloned about a dozen times.
Go Bulls!

Raging Bull is the most overrated. I like it, and all, but it's not thrilling to me. Fun, yes, thrilling, no. At least its line moves incredibly fast, though. Even though I think its the most overrated at the park, though, its not the worst. That title has to go to Demon just because its boring. :lol:

Superman is the most overated. After you ride it a couple of times it seems boring to me.
My Top 5: 1)TTD, 2)Millennium Force, 3)Raptor, 4)Deja Vu, 5)Raging Bull

I think that dejavu is over rated, its never open and if you read about it online n some places they make it sound so cool. its actualy not that good. and to boot the loading time gets longer everyday. so the line moves so slow! although i do agree that S:UF is over rated, Dejavu is the most over rated at the park

I think Viper. People say, "it's underrated" and they make a huge deal about it. "It's one of the best in the park!" - then I ride it and it's totally overrated. It wasn't that great. I'd take AE any day. Oh and SFGAdv's S:UF isn't as good as people make it out to be. The pretzel loop is so intense for such a weak layout. Very poor layout and not as intense as X-Flight!

Superman and Batman, I think they are good rides but not worth the wait times that they tend to have.
At least we still have one arrow looper.RIP ShockWave (sitting there waiting for me to take it)
