SharkTums Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 ^I knew there was a reason we got along well on the TPR Trips this summer! ^^I have Apocalypse at 27. Which I believe is knocked down a spot or two from last year since the park gave up on the theme, music, and hasn't taken the best care of the ride and trains. Still at a pretty good spot though.

cal1br3tto Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I like how a lot of ballots are basically advertisements for Intamin Pre-Fabs. Sure, I don't rank El Toro quite as highly as many do, but I'm still kind of in awe over the experience it provided, and I really like the looks of at least two of the other ones (need to brush up on my Colossos knowledge).

Meteornotes Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Did mine last night. Top 10 didn't change at all. Balder is still #1. Highest ranking new coaster for me was Wooden Warrior, in the Top 20. While the PGA Grizzly sucks, I have a fair number of coasters rated lower. It's totally dull, but it doesn't cause spinal damage like so many other rides. Anaconda and Bandit were right at the bottom. dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
