Mitch's Coaster Poll

[spaceace12]

great, my ballot is messed up.

[CoasterFanatic]

^ If you want to resubmit, just email Mitch. He will let you correct any mistake.

[DerekRx]

Between TPRs "Idiots Guide" and Ted's applet, this is the quickest way to do Mitch's Polls, unless you keep track as you ride stuff, and even then you need to have everything the way Mitch does, which sometimes gets hard with all the coaster and park name changes. Another year of the wood poll is done for me, now I'm just dreading the steel poll...again!

My top 10 for those who care

1- Phoenix

2 - Avalanche

3- Voyage

4 - Balder

5 - El Toro

6 - Thunderhead

7 - Shivering Timbers

Don't they kick you out of NY for not having Cyclone at #1?

[lil jimmy norton]

I'm confused. Is Wild Wheel Pier's Morey's?

[coasterdude28]

Yes, it is. There is only one Great White in New Jersey.

Cyclone has been my #1 for years but I dropped it into the teens this year. Not running the same (or maybe I'm just too old) and it actually injured me this year.

I haven't done mine yet, but I'm pretty sure my top ten would go something like this:

 

1. Balder

2. El Toro

3. Phoenix

4. Colossos

5. Raven

6. Tonnerre de Zeus

7. Hades

8. Grand National

9. Cyclops

10. Kentucky Rumbler

 

I've been on all but 7 currently operating coasters in the USA and all but 9 woodies in the rest of the world. Looks like I need to get out to Camden Park, Rye Playland, Brazil, and Hungary to help my list!

Crikey Robb, you are like the Alexander the Great of coasters, are you going to weep when there is no coasters left to conquer?

 

Nice to see Voyage not in your top ten, too overrated.

[arrowfanman]

5) The Grizzly

4) Mean Streak

3) Psyclone

2) Son of Beast

1) Ghostrider

My ballot for the 2007 season:

After riding Voyage pre-trim in 06/07, then El Toro this summer, Toro takes the crown in book.

Do you have some sort of personal vendetta against Voyage? Why is it "nice to see" that some coaster isn't in someone's top 10?

 

Remember, it's all just opinion. If you didn't like Voyage, then so be it. Why is it so important that someone else agree?

Because it's nice to see that the hype is dying down a bit.

If anyone wants to mock me for messing up my ballot go ahead

I don't get whats with all the grudges againts coasters. So is it not "cool" to like a roller coaster alot of other people think is number 1?

 

My top 5 is

 

1. Voyage

2. Boulder Dash

3. Phoenix

4. El toro

5. Hades

[asr]

My top five (And also the only five woodies I have been on) goes like this;

 

1. Blue Streak (CP)

2. Cyclone (SFNE)

3. Yankee Cannonball

4. Thunderbolt (SFNE)

5. Mean Streak

 

I really need to ride some good wooden coasters next year... I stillhaven't been on Boulder Dash or Excalibur and I only live two hours away from both of them.

Maybe it's just fun. Think of it like trash talking between the fans of two rival sports teams.

 

And yes, it's not cool to like Voyage. If you like Voyage you're automatically an 800 pound guy cruising around the midway in a fat chariot complaining that the last time you saw your penis was during the Carter Administration.

[lil jimmy norton]

Yes, it is. There is only one Great White in New Jersey.

Thanks, I realised that after a minute. And I'm from Brooklyn, NY, and Cyclone is my numero 2.

[Wood Dragon 1988]

This is my first year voting. Sure hope the coasterfanatics link worked.

 

My list is still not too impressive, having only ridden 20 wooden coasters. Still, that's double what I had last year!

 

1. Phoenix

2. My Fav. Steel

3. Wild One

4. Comet (Hersheypark)

 

Can't wait for next year and NJ, NY, and New England's woodens to get added to that list!

Alot of people used Coasterfanatics, it's just so much easier. You can check if your vote was counted yet.
