This one takes a bit more time (stupid way too many steel coasters!) but again, well worth it!

[Meteornotes]

I've never done this one, because I've never really wanted to take the time to rank all boomerangs and SLCs. Is there a way to just put them all into one category or something?

[Wes]

^ I think those are categorized together.

 

EDIT: Yep.

 

Fav Vekoma Boomerang Any Park Anywhere **,n,n,0

 

I'm awaiting Ted's fancy automated system on this one.

[Homer]

Already done in a few, just had to add some Six Flags Elitch Gardens credits and voila, done.

[Canobie Fan]

Sent mine in... Woo..

 

I did the lame "1 1 4 6 3 6 7 7 7 2" style cause im lazy

[rollermonkey]

The wood poll was fun compared to this. I individually rank 'em because I'm a glutton for punishment. What makes it particularly bad is that I rode a LOT of new for me coasters this year. The UK trip alone was almost 100 by itself! I think in the end I ended up with @130 new for me including wood.

[ParkTrips]

at least kiddie coasters are grouped together

[downunder]

I've had to hold off because they left off Superman Escape, the new Intamin Rocket at Movie World Australia, I have asked that it be included. We are all keen to vote for it downunder because it is surprisingly good coaster - only real world class one in oz.

[ginzo]

I voted. It was really easy for me, because I haven't ridden all that many coasters yet.

[easytoremember]

ya, it was pretty easy for me, there were only 58 coasters on the ballot for me, but I have ridden 81 steelies. Thats kinda sad, because that means that almost 1/4 of my coasters are either clones or kiddie coasters.

[DerekRx]

Well it was a little bit tougher than the wood poll, but I finished it. I'm interested to see how the new steel coasters fair against some of the old favorites. Its definitely not going to be like the wood poll results!

[the sound]

I'm gonna wait until the Coasterfanatics (Ted) put up an easier way, like last year.

[fakestar]

I wonder if Goliath South is gonna rank top 5 like I suspect.

[Carnage]

I'll probably do this like the wood poll.

 

Work on it a little bit each day. Sort, shuffle, repeat, until I'm happy with my order.

[niiicolaaah]

I just sent mine in. Woohoo! And in the process of filling it out, I realized I've ridden about 20 good coasters.... total. At least I didn't have to rank all the Wacky Worms and Zamperla Family Coasters I've ridden!

[CoasterFanatic]

I'm awaiting Ted's fancy automated system on this one.

 

Ask and you shall receive.

Still struggling through my ballot...

 

[Scaparri]

Ahh poll time... the one time of the year where I force myself to do the nearly impossible and rank everything. I don't know how you people with a 300 or 400+ coaster count do it.

[Wes]

Thank you Ted! I want to make romance inside of you.

[ginzo]

Thank you Ted! I want to make romance inside of you.

 

With force?

[rabid disney]

Thank you ted you are a legend.

 

 

Attention all Aussie lets put Superman Escape on the world map it deserve to be up there somewhere just for its nice airtime hills alone.

[Scaparri]

Holy freakin' crap Ted. I got by doing it manually, but wow, that's one heck of a system you have there. Kind of makes me wish I had waited to fill out my ballot.

[CoasterFanatic]

Attention all Aussie lets put Superman Escape on the world map it deserve to be up there somewhere just for its nice airtime hills alone.

 

Of course ... only if it merits it ... right?

 

// please don't manipulate the poll. It makes Mitch angry and nobody likes an angry Mitch

[PKIDelirium]

I sent mine manually yesterday at 11AM, don't have a confirmation email yet. Anyone else gotten theirs processed?
