haux Posted November 5, 2006 Posted November 5, 2006 I just did my fairly short list too. I've got to ride more woodies. What's sad is I last rode my two favorite woodies in 2002. But what's good about having so few coasters is that doing the poll is much easier. I can actually rank all these from best to worst. I can't do that with my steel list, which is at 98, I think. Maybe I'll do the 1 for good, 5 for bad thing for the steel list. Last year I was able to do the ranking all method, but I think I rode about 20 new steel coasters since then.
robbalvey Posted November 19, 2006 Author Posted November 19, 2006 Just a reminder....only about 10 days left to vote in the poll! Download your ballot here: http://www.ushsho.com/bestrollercoasterpoll.htm --Robb
Electerik Posted November 19, 2006 Posted November 19, 2006 Thanks for reminding me, Robb. Sadly, I end up actually filling out the ballot and sending it in only about every third time it comes up. I've got mine in this year, though! Should be interesting to see how Voyage places. Best in the US, I wonder...?
ginzo Posted November 20, 2006 Posted November 20, 2006 Thanks for reminding me, Robb. Sadly, I end up actually filling out the ballot and sending it in only about every third time it comes up. I've got mine in this year, though! Should be interesting to see how Voyage places. Best in the US, I wonder...? I read through the ballots like a week ago. Voyage is doing quite well. I didn't, however, check too closely into how it compared with Balder and El Toro. I've personally got Voyage at #3, behind favorite steel (#1) and Avalanche at Timber Falls (#2). I have yet to ride El Toro or Balder, though.
Millenium Man Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I voted in the poll a while back about early November.This is the first time I voted and the instructions were confusing, so hopefully I filled it out right.I have been on Nine woodies and I ranked them by putting them in the order I like them.
Shockwave Posted November 21, 2006 Posted November 21, 2006 I sent my poll in yesterday. Coaster Express and the California woodies pretty much propped up the list!

alpengeist04 Posted November 27, 2006 Posted November 27, 2006 Well, I did my part and voted a few days ago.
Meteornotes Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Dumb question: Do you get some sort of confirmation email or anything after you submit your ballot? I forget... dt
SharkTums Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Not immediately, but within a day or two you should.
Meteornotes Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 OK, cool. I'd hate to not have my dumb opinions counted. I've been on 98 different wood coasters. The best? Balder. The worst? Son Of Beast. Oddly enough, I had a much harder time picking the worst coaster than I did the best. Far too many contenders for the Spine Destroyer Award... dt
SharkTums Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 ^That's funny Dave, I had the same problem! I think the issue is that there are far more Horrible Bad woodies than good ones so it makes the end of the list much harder to rank! Guess what Dave...you'll have two new horrible woodies in contention for your worst after next summer!!!!
coaster05 Posted November 29, 2006 Posted November 29, 2006 Even though I have only been on 76 woodies I thought my top 50 were all pretty fun. I gave the bottom spot to Predator I believe.
robbalvey Posted November 30, 2006 Author Posted November 30, 2006 Remember....today is the LAST DAY to submit a ballot!!!! --Robb
Real Posted December 1, 2006 Posted December 1, 2006 And its officially now over (on the East Coast that is)
bgwfreak Posted December 2, 2006 Posted December 2, 2006 How long before he releases the results? I can never remember each time.
rollermonkey Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 ^ usually within a week. Only 496 respondants this year. I hope the children who screwed with the steel poll last year didn't play this year.
