MrSum1_55 Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 I lost all respect for these awards when Mean Streak ranked above T Express. I can't remember what year that was-or if it happened more than one year. I'm liking the love of the Lion King show. I rarely ever see shows at parks, and that show is one of the only ones that I will actually go out of my way to see. Europa Park being the best park might be the one big thing they got right. You know a park is awesome when they can build a parking lot coaster and actually make the theming work with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster_t Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 We just need to have our own awards. Exactly what I was thinking as I read this thread. TPR has a well travelled and global membership base which should give any poll you run a better reflection of parks and attractions around the world.

805Andrew Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 So it looks like GTA released their Top 50's for each so Here is a fun challenge to take - How many have you ridden? *Obviously GTA is extremely inaccurate at ranking the "Best" roller coasters in the world, I think it's fun to see how many you've been on! For full reference: http://goldenticketawards.com/top-50-wooden-coasters/ http://goldenticketawards.com/top-50-steel-coasters/ 76 people voted for Steel Forceless as their favorite steel coaster while Storm Runner at Hersheypark didn't even make the list?? What a joke. Also no Tatsu or Hulk or Dragon Challenge on this list and I could think of five steel coasters from Japan that could be on this list and not a single one made it on it.

Yeah it's pretty messed up. In fact, there's not one single Asian coaster (Or any coaster outside of North America/Europe). I don't understand how coasters like Conneaut's Blue Streak, Flying Turns, or Coney Island Cyclone make it, but T Express doesn't? Also, it's infuriating that Boss is ranked higher than Wildfire, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryH Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 The Golden Ticket Awards seem to have similar winners year after year. You could just copy and paste the results from last year and they would be close to this year's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flagrockerthegreat Posted September 15, 2017 Share Posted September 15, 2017 Bull, Kings Island does not in my opinion have the best kids area. i Honestly think Kings Dominion should've gotten that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nrthwnd Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I want my money back, Golden Ticket Award. What? Not guaranteed? Hmmm. Well, I need to melt you down, Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 ^They always give Fiesta Texas some award like that. They should have minus points for removing Zeus from the show a few years ago. At least we still know the real truth about the origin of Texas.

Afterburner Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 The Golden Ticket Awards seem to have similar winners year after year. You could just copy and paste the results from last year and they would be close to this year's. Of all the legitimate gripes about the GTAs, this is not one. People's tastes don't just radically change from year to year, so why would you expect major changes in the poll results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angle O. Descent Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Here's what I agree with for the Top 50 lists: - El Toro back at number 1 wood - Lightning Rod cracking top 5 wood - Maverick in the top 10 - Nitro, Apollo's Chariot, and Magnum slipping down - Skyrush in the top 50 (I also have indoor plumbing in my house) What I find dumb, but fun to complain about: - Iron Rattler #4 steel?? I mean steel RMCs are awesome and deserve top 10 accolades, just not this one - Beast ahead of Outlaw Run - Shivering Timbers at #25 (most underrated woodie in my opinion) - Behemoth 20 spots below Diamondback. Unnecessary. - I305 must've lost its GPS because it still can't find it's way to the Top 10 steel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
