Woodie of 2006?

[coasterbilly]

so this year was dominated with Steel coasters, but despite the few (4) big wood coasters to debut, they all sound like they are winners, i know many of ushaven't been on all or any of these, but what do you think about them this year, which one would you hit up if you could? Or if you have been on em all, which is the best?

 

El Toro is SFGAdv's monster Intamin wood coaster, has the steepest drop in the world and the most insane ejector airtime any coaster can give in the world (i've been on it), 188 feet tall and 4400 feet long http://www.rcdb.com/qs.htm?quicksearch=El+Toro

 

Voyage is Holiday World's 3rd wooden coaster, Raven and Legend were built by CCI and Voyage is built by Gravity Group who is the company created after CCI went out of business. It is the 3rd longest woodie in the world and give a relentless ride through the woods, check it out! http://www.rcdb.com/qs.htm?quicksearch=Voyage

 

Kentucky Rumbler is Beech Bend's new GCI woodie, GCI is known for Lightning Racer @ Hersheypark, Ozark Wildcat @ Celebration City, and Thunderhead @ Dollywood, along with some others. This is another great design apparently from GCI, as it goes through itself many times with many tight, highly banked curves! http://www.rcdb.com/qs.htm?quicksearch=Kentucky+Rumbler

 

Thunderbird is Power Park's new GCI woodie, i think this is the first time that GCI has debuted 2 different woodies in the same year. Not many people know about this one, but it is different from KR, i watched a video of it today and it looks like the most airtime filled GCI out there, as usual it's twisted inside itself but has 4 tiny bunny hops towards the end of the coaster! http://www.rcdb.com/id2955.htm

We should probably wait til the end of the season for stuff like this.

Agreed. Mid season this seems like another "pointless poll." Perhaps in October would be a better time to post this.
