You know, I'll also add Batman: the Ride as being overrated.

You hear so much raving about it, but honestly I'd take a large B&M invert over it any day of the week.
 
Highly overrated: EGF nuff said, ridden it several times but never understood any of the people that says it's amazing...

Massively underrated: TOGO coasters, just because some parks in the US can't maintain and run theirs properly doesn't mean that the rest of them are just as crap, some of them in Japan is really great tbh...

Underrated:

Air - I really enjoy it anyways and find it better than the Superman Ultimate Flight clones.

Superman (Madrid) - Got a few great rides and one or 2 average rides on this but overall was really fun, great drop and some floater air too.

Batman: The Ride - Most likely underrated because it has been cloned so many times but I find them to be really great and forceful inverts and Madrid's version is a step above the other 2 I've ridden.

Overrated:

Saw - Only really liked the indoor section and found the rest to be crap.

Tarantula - For such a large spinning coaster it didn't spin much and was pretty meh.

Why do people think Mantis is overrated? Most people think it hurts and there is never a long line for it, so it can't be that popular.
 
When i went to CP Mantis had a longer line than MF. And Mantis was running both trains. Still don't get how its overrated. What did you expect the ride to be like Riddlers or Chang?
