The Official Mitch Hawker 2012 Wood Coaster Poll Thread!

Swimace · December 9, 2012

I just want to highlight the importance of voting in this year's poll:

This will probably be the last year that you will be able to vote for Son of Beast as the worst coaster on the planet. Make it count.

the sound · December 9, 2012

Heh, first time in about 5 years that this tiny list has changed for me.

Your poll scared me at first. I thought they were ranked in order, but then I realized you did the poll manually.

Reminds me of when someone called out my ballot for "ranking Ghostrider well above Voyage" or somesuch. Yeah, right!

dylanreich · December 9, 2012

^I wouldn't put that past you.

gromithere · December 9, 2012

Looks like I missed my chance to get a bag-o-crap as I was offline and living in the "real world" today. I'll still be voting in the poll soon though.

Mines done! That poll generator really makes this thing easy! =D

I've offered to help Mitch with the steel poll, to make sure if gets done this year. No word yet on what he's decided.

Also, shouldn't Dauling Dragons in China be listed twice, since all of the other dueling woodies are?

JordanH · December 9, 2012

Hi, Jordan here - I made the drag-and-drop helper for the ballot.

Apologies for the Internal Server Error a few of you were getting yesterday. I rebuilt the helper from last year, and there were a few bugs I hadn't picked up. If you still have any problems with it, please drop me a PM and let me know

PAL · December 9, 2012

^Thanks Jordan! Your ballot tool is amazing for spreadsheet lamers such as myself.

Werner · December 9, 2012

Well here's mine, thanks to Jordan amazing helper!

Here's my (very limited) poll since I only have 3 currently operating wood credits (4 if I count the non-existent Psyclone, which would be ranked lower than Grizzly)...ended up using the ballot generator as it was way too confusing to me on how this worked.

I think I'm the odd one here, A.J. Am I the only one that has any love for Conneaut's Blue Streak? Pretty sure I'm the only one that put Blue Streak in my top 10 after that soaking day on the Leviathon tour - Mike

Missed the Bag-O-Crap due to being busy with schoolwork, but that's okay. I enjoy filling this out each year, and since I keep an updated word document of my official rankings it takes very little time to do.

I'm sure some of my rankings will seem odd to others, but part of the fun of this poll is to see what everyone's preferences are. I'm hoping for a return of the steel poll this year, as even though it takes a lot longer to fill out it tends to give more differences in opinion than the wood poll.

This day and age and we're still using text polls?

Did you READ the original post? There is a web based version as well. Seriously, if you're just going to bitch and complain, don't take the poll.

This is by FAR the most accurate, well respected roller coaster poll in the industry. And if you're going to spend the effort to complain about it, instead of actually filling out the poll like the other 120 of us have WITHOUT complaining, we really aren't interested in your feedback.

The poll has WORKED for the past 18 years, and if it ain't broke, don't f**k it up.

Understood?

Edited December 10, 2012 by robbalvey

SharkTums · December 10, 2012

^^^I'm really hoping that's a mistake, otherwise the ballot should be thrown out! There are opinions...but no ones opinion should be that Rolling Thunder is the best Wooden Coaster in the world!

PKI Jizzman · December 10, 2012

YES! Make it count! SOB is the worst.

Note that Dauling Dragons in China is now listed as two coasters, as it should be, IMHO. I'm not sure how Mitch will handle all of the replies that he's gotten so far. I'd imagine the fair thing would be to count the one listing for both of them.

For those who've been on it, you might want to ammend your ballot. I know that a lot of us had a preference for one side or the other. I seemed to be one of the few who preferred the left side.

Coastinmiller · December 10, 2012

Done. I really need to start using the grouping method.

I voted. The Jordan's Ballot Helper made it really easy, I would have been lost without it. Now I know how the polling works for future years.

I haven't ridden any wooden coasters outside of CA and Spain yet and probably wouldn't have voted hadn't Robb encouraged people to vote whether they have been on one or 100 woodies. I would have rated Stampida a lot higher (probably #2 or #3) if I hadn't ridden it this past Summer, but it has gotten extremely rough so I put it near the bottom. I still rate it above Grizzly (which I last rode in 2011) which isn't rough at all but does nothing and is so boring.
