IwantRevenge Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Alright I was watching travel channel last night and there was a show announcing the golden ticket award winners. When best woodie came up i was sure it would be 3.)Balder 2.) The Voyage 1.) El Toro or something including those 3. The real winners were 3.) Shivering Timbers 2.) Balder Dash 1.) Thunderhead Is anyone else surprised at these top 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeemerBoy Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 ^ I believe you saw the 2005 Golden Ticket winners. This year's hasn't been voted on yet. Besides, the true list is Mitch's Poll. Sorry, can someone else get that link? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verticalzero Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 All 3 winners for last year are amazing rides within themselves, This year will be even closer. I have not been on as I live in the UK: 3.)Balder 2.) The Voyage 1.) El Toro The best Woodie I have been on is The Beast in 2000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reon Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 My personal top 3 is: 1. Cyclops 2. Hershey Wildcat 3. Hades I should be going to HW as soon as I get back home to Cincy, so I'm hoping to edit those in somehow.

SharkTums Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Yeah, I would not base anything off the Golden Ticket Awards!!!! Use Mitch's poll for an idea of what the best 'enthusiast' rides are. The Golden Tickets are more of a 'GP/Suck Up" list. Here's the link to Mitch's poll: http://www.ushsho.com/bestrollercoasterpoll.htm I predict that this year Voyage will take the #1 spot and Balder will take #2. However, Balder will always be #1 to me!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 ^ The Golden Ticket awards voted Valhalla the best Water ride in the world! So I gathered they were pretty good, as Valhalla is an amazing ride. And why isn't Coaster Express/Wild Wild West in that top 3 Woodies? [edit] Well I never, Nemesis is 4th in the best steel coaster award 2005, chuffed with that result, gets me even more hyped up for whoring it tomorrow. -Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo210 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 El Toro and Voyage were not open until this year so that could be a posibility. But I agree that Balder should have been up there. Golden Tickets suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnage Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 [quote="martinbAnd why isn't Coaster Express/Wild Wild West in that top 3 Woodies? Golden tickets are more based off of pure ridership. So the better rides in remote areas tend to get ignored. It's also why places like Cedar Point clean up on these awards. My top 3 personally goes: 1. Thunderhead 2. Hades 3. Balder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
307 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 3 - Shivering Timbers 2 - Hades 1 - Voyage Honourable mention to Avalanche, Lightning Racer, and Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterguy618 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 My prediction to top 3: 1. The Voyage 2. El Toro 3. Balder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hercules Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I think it will probably be: 1. Voyage 2. Thunderhead 3. Boulder Dash There is a bias when it comes to rides at Six Flags parks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinb Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 What about Hades? I've seen loads of videos of it and it looks amazing! -Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lagg Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Mine ATM are... 1) Dania Beach Hurricane 2) Megafobia 3) Grand National But when I get out there and ride some more... 1) Voyage 2) El Toro 3) Balder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpengeist04 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 The only top 3 list that matters to me, is my list. ...but I guess Mitch's is the next best thing. My top 3: 1.El Toro 2.Phoenix 3.Thunderhead/Tremors note: I haven't been on Voyage or Hades, yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking86 Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 1. Thundercoaster 2. Balder 3. The rest of the woodies I have ridden are either small family coasters or they just suck so I dont feel that any of them deserve to be number three on a list...

ParkTrips Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 For the Golden Tickets, I think they will finish like so: 1. Thunderhead 2. Hades 3. Boulder Dash For Mitch's end-of-the-year poll, I'll guess they will finish like so: 1. Balder 2. Voyage 3. Thunderhead How I would vote as of today: 1. Thunderhead 2. Boulder Dash 3. hm, tough. Cornball or Rampage or Phoenix. Maybe El Toro will sneak up here next week, who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boulder Dash Mitch's Top 3... 1. Balder 2. Voyage 3. Thunderhead My Top 3 as of now... 1. El Toro 2. Phoenix 3. Boulder Dash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corkscrewed Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 My top three wooden coasters are: 1. Ghostrider 2. Colossus 3. Psyclone. Oh wait, those are the ONLY three woodies I've been on. Anyway, Balder probably woudln't be on a GP list because most people have probably never heard of it. It is all the way in Sweden, after all.

HCOSurfer90 Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Mine are: 1. El Toro 2. Lightning Racer 3. Coney Island Cyclone Golden Tickets (most likely): 1. Voyage 2. Thunderhead 3. Hades Mitch's (most likely) 1. Balder 2. Voyage 3. El Toro Just my opinion folks... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roasted_marshmallow Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Where is El Toro? My top 3, since I've only been on about 15 total coasters... 1) Voyage 2) Hades 3) Tremors, I think... might be Raven which was too short, or Legend. That group is pretty tight. Man, it's really a shame all the good coasters are way out East. Stupid Canada. That's why we're totally building the best coaster ever in Sundre, Alberta. Bonus points to whomever can find it on a map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShannonSomerville Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 My top 3 are as follows: 3.Kentucky Rumbler,2.Grizzly,and 1.Thunderhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterchi Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Well we don't have that much woodies in Europe, but here's my top 3: 1: Colossos (Heidepark) 2: Gwazi (Bush Gardens) 3: Stampida (Universals Port Aventura) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
