Unpopular Opinions: Theme Park Edition

Names in the title, put your unpopular theme park opinions in here! I'll start off.

1. Grand National isn't unrideable - just don't sit on wheel seats and expect a smooth ride
2. Blackpool Pleasure Beach has overtaken Alton Towers as the best Park in the UK.
 
Come on @Matt N, you'll be great in this topic.
Thanks for the nomination @Danny! In that case, let me reel off some of my least common opinions (I apologise for any particularly outlandish ones):
  • The Swarm is better than Nemesis.
  • Saw: The Ride at Thorpe Park is rough.
  • The Smiler is not overly rough, just a little bit rattly. I also think that it is Alton's 2nd best coaster behind Nemesis.
  • Wicker Man is better than Megafobia as a coaster, even excluding the theming.
  • Montu at Busch Gardens Tampa is better than Nemesis.
  • I prefer floater airtime to ejector airtime, from my current experiences of both.
  • I did not particularly enjoy either side of Dragon Challenge at IOA when it operated.
  • Alton is the UK's best theme park, out of what I have currently visited.
So there you go! There are some of my least common opinions! I know that's a lot, but I may well think of a few more! Guess I'm just unique!
 
  • The Smiler is not overly rough, just a little bit rattly. I also think that it is Alton's 2nd best coaster behind Nemesis.
  • Wicker Man is better than Megafobia as a coaster, even excluding the theming.
Correct

Also Balder is extremely overrated; Thundercoaster is much better and very underrated.
 
Tonnerre de Zeus is poor and overrated (based on my one visit in 2012).
