Unpopular Coasters you love

I was wondering what coasters you really like that other people seem not to like.

for me i would have to say ninja at SFOG, because i really like it, and i think it is really fun, but a lot of people think it is way to rough.

Volcano's popular right?:pDepends on how unpopular you mean. I'll give a few coasters that I don't think are popular, and you tell me which ones count:

Viper @ GAm, Shockwave at PKD, FOF, Loch Ness, BBW, Viper at GAdv.

I also like Skull Mountain, forgot to mention that one. I also like Boomerang coasters, they're not as bad as most people say.

I like Mean Streak a little but for some reason i like Carolina Cyclone quite a bit too. Not sure if that would be considered unpopular.

I also thought Ninja at SFOG was a decent ride. I didn't have any headbanging or awkward moments. BTR's are fun. They don't get that much attention because they're clones and plenty of other inverts are taller and faster. But, BTR's packa great punch that is very enjoyable. Laser at Dorney doesn't recieve a lot of major praise, but it's an insanely intense ride. I also enjoy Avalanche at PKD a lot, it's a very fun bobsled coaster.

Joker's Revenge formerly at SFFT. It's a sentimental favorite of mine and it was also the ride that got me into coasters in the first place. Another one is XLR-8 at SFAW (Arrow Suspended)

Double Loop at Geauga Lake. Dunno exactly why. Maybe because its a fun, smooth ride that never has a line.

I actually really liked Viper at SFMM a lot, as well as Revolution. Those two coasters are actually a lot of fun.

I like Excalibur at Valleyfair! It's got a combination of being far from anything else in the park and being sort of rough makes it so there is no line no matter what time of day. It's a nice little steel coaster on a wood frame and it's unique.

O yeah, I forgot about Blue Streak. Most fun woody ever in terms of airtime to line length.

Same here. I really enjoyed Blue Streak. Except for all those little anoying bugs going ip the lift. It's funny to see everyone swating going up the lift from the station.

SOB's unloved? but i love that thing...
any way, i like CP's wildcat even though i rode it once, joker's revenge was too awesome to move, especially with that queue, and t2 at SF kk. its not nearly as rough as i heard it would be.
as for mantis, does chang count? i love both of them...

Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake is far better than CP's Blue Streak, especially if you sit in the backseat. No one ever talks about Conneaut's Streak. The first three hills are chock-full of airtime if you sit in the backseat.

...and any Arrow coaster.

I was pretty ticked that when I hit SFWOA two years ago "Double Loop" was shut down as they were working on the trains. As simple of a ride as it appears, I'm sure I would'a really enjoyed riding it.

I'd drive out've my way to ride any Arrow Shuttle Looper...pure history.

Not sure how "unpopular" you want them to be. Two coasters in my top 5 that don't get mentioned near the top of the polls are Medusa at SFGADV and the Wildcat at Hershey. I consider the Wildcat the greatest wooden roller coaster ever built.
