robbalvey Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I can't believe that the Coaster at Playland made #19! I live about an hour away from Playland and I've been on that coaster more times than any 5 people put together, so far my count is 1653 times on it since i went onto it over 15 years ago. Hey Robb try beating that! Why does everything have to be a freaking contest? I just want to have a good time riding coasters and don't really care about how many times I've been on something. --Robb "Who has never bothered to count how many times I've ridden X coaster...."

Guest Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 All 3 Intamin Woodies in the Top 10...I'll take that! Oh, and I'll still never understand the love for Boulderdash, I've ridden it at some of the "BEST EVENT EVER" events, and didn't think anything of it. Odd. I totally agree. It is my least favorite coaster out of the 62 wooden and steel I have ridden. Nothing but jackhammering on the bottoms of hills, forceless, hardly ANY airtime, and way overrated. When did you ride? It had a really bad year this year, and unless you got a late night ride, it was nothing great. The jackhammering wasn't really there in 05, and is being retracked this year so hopefully it will run better. The ride itself is VERY inconsistent. One day you can ride it and it will fly and have crazy air everywhere, other days you don't even start to get air and it feels as if it's going to roll back. I guess thats why it's such a love/hate ride... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
methos Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 yup that ride on a cold damp day is nuts, on a hot day is much slower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 I had heard BoulderDash wasn't running well this summer so I'm waiting til 2007 to visit again since I'm not a big fan of the rest on The Lake. What that said I had to rate it based on my previous rides, I'm sure I would have rated it lower if I ridden it in 2006. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easytoremember Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Well, living near Magic Mountain, its not a suprise that you have been on two really bad woodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freefallbestrideever Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Yay! Ghostrider is still in the top 30, people say its gotten really rough so i'm a bit surprised I still love it though, i don't have much of a choice when it comes to woodies......

Satoshi Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 i was guessin' intamin woodies would totally be in top 3 and i found they were not kinda rough woodies but surprisingly smooth ones like steelie does! congrats The Voyage was THE TOP woodie!

redfoot12 Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I've only been on 9 woodies so I did not vote this year. My highest ranked roller coaster on this poll (and my favorite wooden, as it happens) was #45 (Wild One). I did vote in the steel poll, however.

Electerik Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 I've only been on 9 woodies so I did not vote this year. You shouldn't let that stop you from voting. That's the beauty of Mitch's poll. A vote for, say, Psyclone over Grizzly will only affect those two coasters; it won't affect the rankings of coasters you haven't ridden. So you can't mess anything up. Of course, I suppose one could skew the results by voting untruthfully. There are probably a couple of wanktards out there who would vote for rides they'd never been on. A sobering thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
