Jew Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Did my ballot. Exact same as last year, since there were no new wooden coasters for me this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cal1br3tto Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'm not always this late, but I just turned mine in yesterday. I actually filled it out early on and then held off so I could re-evaluate Roar West, which ended up keeping the same spot. Instead, I just performed a few tweaks here and there. 01. Boulder Dash 02.

Skycoastin Steve Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 This is the portion of the program where I say I left all SBNO/torn down coasters off my list. I understand the reason to keep them on, but if it's obvious it'll never operate ever again, I'm not ranking it. And it's a bummer, too, because that means Rampage is no longer in my top 10.

cal1br3tto Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Before the results come out, I just wanted to talk about a few coasters I've seen discussed in this thread. Roar East versus Roar West: I don't rank them too far apart, but rode both this year and find Roar West to be much better. I've ridden it on 5 occasions among the 2009 and 2012 seasons, and its ranking has held steady, at a current 44 out of 85, versus 61 for Roar East. Roar West is almost unbearable in the back, but has 2 or 3 decent pops of air in the front. Roar East didn't have much to offer at all and felt shorter than its sibling, though it's actually longer. I feared I might return to Roar West only to find it closer in experience to Roar East, but no; it's still clearly superior. Jack Rabbit: Not a fan. I do like the charming, old school tunnel and the pleasant setting. The double dip is decent and surprising, but not life-altering. (Yes, I rode in the back row, hands up.) I much prefer the singular extreme drops on Cyclops and Coaster Thrill Ride, or the many strong pops on rides like Coaster, SCBB Dipper, and Phoenix. Best GCI: Of course, the poll itself will give some insight, but there are also some threads for this topic, best GCI and GCI with the most airtime. (Only pointing this out because I find them interesting myself.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Robb, I think you and I may be among very few on the China trip who ranked both Fireball and the Dauling Dragons above Wood Coaster. In fact, we ranked all four coasters pretty similarly. But I think the GG coasters were a bit too rough for most people to rank as highly as we did. I liked Wood Coaster a lot, but it needed just a bit more "oomph" to make my top 20. But GCII coasters are always crowd pleasers, and Wood Coasters was one of the best of them. Well, apaprently I was wrong. If my sneaky sneak peek of the results is correct, then both of the Dauling Dragons ranked in the top 10, above Wood Coaster. Fireball, while just outside the top 10, beat out Wood Coaster as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SharkTums Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Great poll, and for the most part I agree with a lot of it. All Intamin and Gravity Group (CCI) coasters in the top ten (plus awesome Phoenix), GCI's in that second tier. I don't understand how GCI El Toro and Troy rank the highest of the GCI's though!?!? Not even close. Perhaps this is another example of the Europeans trying really hard to get their coasters in the top? We're probably also approaching the time to take off the kiddie woodies from the poll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sspaz1000 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 awesome results! I've only been on 3 in the top 20. Can't wait to see what everyone else has to say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Great poll and glad to see El Toro still holding on at #1 & Ravine Flyer 2 holding in the Top Ten! Surprised that Wild Beast and Mighty Canadian Spine Buster weren't lower than Ghoster Coaster though! Edit: It will be interesting to see where Rattler ends up at this time next year. My guess is that it won't be at #139!!!! Edited January 13, 2013 by Philrad71 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Johnson Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Hooray for El Toro, Boulder Dash and Phoenix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ginzo Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 What did people think of how Voyage ran in 2012? We rode it during opening weekend in May. Although it was VERY smooth, it felt sluggish overall. I assume it needed to break the new track sections in a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werner Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Bringing it over Hooray for 1# El Toro! Can't wait for the Steelie to open up ADMIN EDIT: Werner, I purposely did not post the entire results as to give incentive for people to visit Mitch page. He's worked VERY hard on this poll and he deserves some support from our readers, rather than people just copy/pasting his work into our forum. Thanks for your understanding.

Hilltopper39 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 It's interesting that Voyage continues to rank as high as it does even though it seems like I've read nothing but poor reviews of how rough that thing has become the past couple of years. I would still rank it in my top 5 based on my rides from about 5 years ago (haven't been back since) but don't know if I would rate it as highly in it's current condition.

simaticable Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I wonder where Outlaw Run will go next year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivtim Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Great list! A few observations: Wooden Warrior is still in the top 25, and ranked above such venerable coasters as Raven and Shivering Timbers. Is Gwazi Lion the lowest ranked GCI? The Phoenix is still in the top 5 after all these years. The "worst" new woodie built in the past 5 years is Mammut. Has never ranked above 60. The SBNO Ozark Wildcat would still be in the top 20 today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 I don't really understand why anyone thinks that Boulder Dash is better than Phoenix but to each his (or her) own. Both are great coasters. It's great to see El Toro at number one again. It's easily my favorite wood coaster. I don't understand why more Intamin woodies haven't popped up since they built El Toro and it's had such overwhelming success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyRush Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Awsome! Great to see how the poll should be! Now i cant wait to do the Steel poll. It will be interesting what that will look like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you on that, Intamin should be building more pre-fabs but its what the parks want, so i dont know why parks dont want them?! They are sweet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philrad71 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 My guess is that it will be on the steel poll Ahhhh yes...didn't think of that! If they keep building these types of coasters, Mitch is going to have to come out with a hybrid poll...not that that would be a bad thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
