Hydra and Great Bear are ones I often hear scoffed though and I'm not quite sure why.
Hydra is one of the dullest B&M's ever created. The layout looks quite interesting, but the execution is slow and forceless. It's very rare I come off a B&M with this sort of feeling, but Hydra was just disappointing. I liked the Jo Jo Roll though.
Agreed with Great Bear though. The ending (which only lasts about 5 seconds) is slow, but the rest of the ride is very forceful. I loved it.

Tonnere De Zeus gets a fair bit of hate for being inconsistent and I guess many people have had bad rides on it, but the rides I had on it were all brilliant. It just felt completely wild and out of control, the roughness adds to it in my opinion.
Although I have ridden it on one of its poorer days, when it's running well, it's amazing. I couldn't agree with this more.
There is a lot of woodies for which I don't understand the hate. One's like Stampida, Gwazi and Ghost Rider are quite rough, but I enjoy/ed all of them, particularly Ghost Rider. Also, the KD woodies are not rough or bad IMO. Okay, maybe Hurler is because I sat towards the front for that, but we should all know that sitting towards the back on a notoriously 'rough' woodie is going to result in a beating
I'll also add Wildcat at HP to this list because I found this to not be very rough and I sat near the back on one of my rides.
In terms of steel coasters, I don't understand the hate for Euro Mir. In all fairness I do have a bit of a soft spot for this coaster, but although the coaster section isn't very good, I love the ridiculously long spiral lift, the twisting round the towers at the top and of course, the soundtrack <3
I'd say Mumbo Jumbo as well, but that's because I really love hang time and I know others don't. Obviously, I couldn't agree less with any hate for I305 because I only have ultimate love for that coaster.
