Commando Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 El Toro is the one coaster that I have always wanted to ride. Now I just need to get to the east coast.
Mrlittle Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I think if I own a park, I would just have Intamin. It always seems like both there steel and wooden coasters are always in top ten lists. Congrats to El Toro. I can't wait till I get to ride ya on the New Hotness Tour.
MrSum1_55 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I have been on 1 and 5. For some reason, I have always prefered Phoenix over El Toro, probably because I have kind of held a grudge with Great Adventure since my first visit. Hope to ride Ravine Flyer II next summer. Â My dream is for Intamin to build a showcase park like Europa to Mack. if the park had an onsite hotel, my reservation would sound something like this: Me: Hello, I would like 23,725 nights in your hotel, please. Operator: Ok, that is $2,847,000. Would you like to pay that off over time? Me: Yes, please (Operator hangs up phone) That's the 14th time today someone has asked for that many rooms! Should we just make this an apartment complex?
cal1br3tto Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I just realized you can find the full list by downloading the Mutual Rider Spreadsheet. Ignore the confusing stuff (if it confuses you, as it does me, that is) and there you have it. Â It appears I've been on 26 of the top 50 woodies. I'll rule this a good thing.
XII Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Very pleased with these results. I've been on 4 of the Top 5 coasters, and all of them are in my Top 5.
Angry_Gumball Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Hooray for CGA's Grizzly, it has 3 coasters below it! What place did Grizzly rank last year?
Skycoastin Steve Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Looks like he finally stopped ranking SBNO coasters, although I think Dania Beach Hurricane should have been ranked this year since it ran up until April (if memory serves me correctly). And if there were any other SBNO coasters than ran during 2011, I think they should have been included, as well. But that's just my humble opinion.
australianalex Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Sorry, I dont know much about the polls so sorry if this is a dumb question, but when will the Steel Coaster poll be open for voting?
Skycoastin Steve Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 ^Hard to tell, it changes every year. But it's usually within a few weeks of the wooden poll ending.
Xcoaster Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) Is it a mistake that Leap the Dips was included with the SBNO coasters? Or did it collapse when I wasn't looking? Â Also, it looks like Son of Beast would've been the last place coaster, if it had been included. For me it's a toss up between it and Bandit. Â EDIT: Nevermind, Leap the Dips got corrected.

Should we just make this an apartment complex? hahahhaha love it! Â I've only ridden one coaster in the top 10.... and that one I've ridden is #1!!! So stoked! I'm so glad I had a chance to ride it.
Skycoastin Steve Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Is it a mistake that Leap the Dips was included with the SBNO coasters? Or did it collapse when I wasn't looking? I think you're seeing things. It's ranked #105.
ScottBrown Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Hooray for CGA's Grizzly, it has 3 coasters below it! What place did Grizzly rank last year? I believe it was second to last and before that I believe it always had ranked in last place
simon8899 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Colossos in Heide-Park is no small coaster at all - its the prototype Intamin/Cordes prefab-woodie who is even taller than El Toro. Â The best woodie in germany if not in europe!
Hilltopper39 Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Surprised to see Balder slip so low, and Voyage continue to stay so hi. I can't remember the last time I heard some give a review of Voyage other than it was violently rough and not nearly as good as it used to be.
cfc Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) ^Agreed. Although people are entitled to their own opinion, I don't see how anyone who has ridden Balder can prefer Voyage. But many people taking the poll haven't ridden Balder. Edited January 27, 2012 by cfc
shivtim Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 (edited) I've been on #1,2,3,4,5, but NOT #6,7,8,9,10. Weird. Â Phoenix is my favorite, glad to see that it continues to rank so highly. Just a very very FUN coaster! Love El Toro too, I actually think it's quite a bit better than T-Express (although T-Express is still my #3). What's remarkable is that as amazing as the Intamin woodies are, there is still room for improvement. Edited January 27, 2012 by shivtim
alilstronger Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 YAY!!! El Toro is my top woodie!!!!!!!!! So glad it got the number one spot!!!!!
cfc Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I'm happy with the results myself, although I have had mixed experiences with Voyage (Balder will always be better, but that's just my opinion).
dammie16@vt.edu Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Poll looks good to me! That other El Toro, don't know much about it, but does it suffer from inflated rank due to being a new GCI syndrome? Â I've ridden RFII, Pheonix, and Thunderhead!
SharkTums Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Like I said, I'm very happy with the results and feel they're quite 'fair'. Obviously there are some anomalies, but there always will be with group trips from different clubs, etc. Â Since people are sharing their stats, I've been on 95 out of the top 100 woodies. I've been on all of the top 26. Of the ranked coasters there are only nine I'm missing. I'm not planning on hitting any of those nine this year. I am planning on hitting one or two of the coasters that don't have enough riders to rank yet. Â ^I believe the inflation is due somewhat to the new GCI Syndrome, but moreso I believe there was an ECC trip to that park this summer. We rode it as part of the TPR Oktoberfest Trip in 2010 and it was fine, but the best GCI, please!!!!
thrillrider Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 I agree that American thunder should have been in the top ten mix somewhere, but great coasters none the less. Â We have been on all of the top 12 American coasters, and have to agree about El Toro being number 1. The only gripe I have about El Toro, is the lap bars having to be pushed down into your internal organs. Â ATTENTION NEW CEDARFAIR MANAGEMENT...... Wouldn't an intiman wooden coaster look wonderful in the place of mean streak?
ernierocker Posted January 27, 2012 Posted January 27, 2012 Can't argue with the results at all! I've been on 3 of the top 5 and 4 of the top 12.
