Mike Austin Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Completed mine. 37 woodies isn't too bad, is it? =/ Top 5 are: Boulder Dash Phoenix Fav. Steel Terminator Lightning Racer Bottom 4: Hurler Rebel Yell Grizzly Roar (SFA) Everything in the middle is a bit awry though, and seems to be a bit random.

MrX8991 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Even though the entire list is in my signature, I might as well post it here too. 1 - Viper SFGAm 2 - Blue Streak Cedar Point 3 - Screamin' Eagle SFStL 4 - American Eagle SFGAm 5 - Mean Streak Cedar Point 6 - Gwazi (Tiger) Busch Gardens Tampa (couldn't bring myself to ride Lion after this piece of crap. To all who think Mean Streak is bad, get down to Florida and ride this) Should probably mention that there are 8 steel coasters ahead of these.

coastercrzyjames Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'm in the process of voting and I have a really dumb question to ask about the ride sensations ranking. Do they mean "in general" or just applying to the "wooden coasters" that these are my preferred ride sensations? Because usually when you ride a wooden coaster you might expect different priority of ride sensations then you would a steel coaster. So i'm thinking they were aiming that to the specific type given in the poll, but I was wanted to make sure. Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 ^ I think they mean more in general, but probably a bit skewed to woodies since that's the poll. But if you look at some of the questions, like if you prefer inversions, obviously it can't be just woodies. --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skycoastin Steve Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Voted. I still don't understand the general distaste for Voyage and lovefest for Raven by many on this website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastercrzyjames Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Okay that makes sense, thanks Robb. I think I will just apply those six sensations to "woodies" since thats subjective to the poll. I'm sure the steel coaster poll will ask you to rank those again.

robbalvey Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 Voted. I still don't understand the general distaste for Voyage and lovefest for Raven by many on this website. I think many people confuse the fact that "I don't rank Voyage as #1" as "distaste." I (and a few others here) just don't simply like it as much as others do. It's not like we are ranking it in our worst woodies ever, I just personally think it's not as amazing as others make it out to be. I have it ranked as #30 out of 163 woodies. That's still pretty darn high up my list! I far prefer some of Gravity Group's other work, like Ravine Flyer II, Hades, and Fireball. It's just simply not my type of ride, but Raven is. I can't really explain it, it's just my opinion. --Robb "I don't understand how people like country music...but they do!" Alvey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParkTrips Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Voted. I still don't understand the general distaste for Voyage and lovefest for Raven by many on this website. its not so much that Voyage is a bad ride, but more that my internal organs would never forgive me if I considered Voyage to be a favorite of mine Raven is just so much more fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there are definitely people who don't like its perceived roughness (there are MUCH worse), but it's still an insanely fun ride. But hey, that's the beauty of human choice. If we were all alike, why would we need internet polls? Just so I can toot its horn to work colleagues, where did you rank Rampage, Robb? --Steve "Rampage doesn't get enough love" Burant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spaceace12 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Filled mine out just a second a go thanks to Ted. http://www.coasterfanatics.com/sec_poll/default.asp Voyage was number one as I expect anyone who was at HWN to rank it there.

robbalvey Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 I'm just baffled that it's not on everyone's top 10 at least.

monsterfan99 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 My list is in and I am willing to bet I am the lone person to put Evel Knievel #1. My list 1. Evel Knievel 2. My Favorite Steel 3. Cornball Express 4. Shivering Timbers 5. The Beast 6. Raven 7. Kentucky Rumbler 8. Renegade 9. Viper - SF Great America 10. The Boss Had you told me at the beginning of the year the The Boss would not be in my bottom 3, let alone in my top 10, I would have called you crazy. amazing what some track work can do.

VGplay Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 1. Boulder Dash 2. Ravine Flyer II 3. El Toro 4. Cornball Express 5. The Voyage 6. My Favorite Steel (Fahrenheit) 7. Thunderhead 8. Lightning Racer - Thunder 9. Lightning Racer - Lightning 10. Grizzly (Kings Dominion) 11. Raven Bottom 5 5. Fairly Odd Coaster (Coasters below are ones I actually think are bad) 4, Racer (Kings Island) 3, Son of Beast 2. Mean Streak 1.Hurler (Kings Dominion) A lot of new coasters for me this year. Grizzly surprised me. I only got one ride on it, but I was really impressed. And just like how I don't foresee Boulder Dash ever getting unseated from #1, I expect to never ride anything as bad as Hurler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My list Had you told me at the beginning of the year the The Boss would not be in my bottom 3, let alone in my top 10, I would have called you crazy. amazing what some track work can do. Evel Knievel is #3 on my list, and Boss is #8 (out of 46). Not only is EK my #1 GCI, but Boss is my #1 CCI now (ahead of Rampage, *gasp!*). Evel Knievel was INSANE, that little triple hop right before the end is amazing. The only rides I had on Boss were in the pitch black, which probably made it better than normal, but it was fast, intense, and contrary to what most people think, not that rough. Since you say they did track work on it, I say that figures, because even in the back seat, it wasn't THAT bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
