cal1br3tto Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 ^I'm going to have to do that hardcore with the steel poll. Even then, it will still feel like a big awkward cluster to me. And to think I used to be obsessive about avoiding nearly all ties in ranking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larrygator Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 ^ 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Double0Kevin Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 ^ Thanks, I see I missed a few discussions about the Steel Poll. I'd love for it to happen as these polls are great for seeing how people really feel about certain coaster. That said, I wouldn't be brokenhearted if it was decided to be too much and he sticks with just the Wood poll. Seems like a lot of work for just the one, I could only imagine doing 2.

cfc Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Mine was pretty simple this year--only four new woodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David H Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 Mitch told me that someone else had volunteered to organize the steel poll ballot this year, and passed my name on to him in case he needed any help with the China/Asia parks. I haven't heard anything yet. Let's hope he can get the ballot done before it's too late for 2012, even if it's a bit late. I actually proposed shortening the steel ballot. As mentioned above, it gets reall y cumbersome, and does anyone really care where a coaster ranks, once you get much past 100 or so? With the wood poll, I always list them all. It's not that hard, since I just add the new ones, and there are never more than a dozen each year these days. (It's pretty hard for me to take a trip that will net me more than 5-8 new woodies these days.) But with the steel poll, I list my top 100 or so, then just rank the rest with a number rounded to the 100. Basically, I grade everything else as 200, 300, 400 or 500, based on about where I'd put them on the list. That way, the good coasters and bad coasters get the recognition they deserve, without my having to spend hours deciding if a coaster really belongs at 368 or 370, which no one cares about, not even myself. But it also gives a lot more valid pairings for the overall statistics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larrygator Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the update. Yes, I remember how much easier it was to complete these polls before I started traveling so much. To me it is so much easier to differentiate and therefore rank the wooden coasters. Many steel coasters just blend together.

David H Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 OK. Here's my list. Larry and I tied for numbers of woodies (I put my favorite steel at 3.5, while he gave it its own ranking), although if you count the woodies no longer on the list, I might pull ahead. The only new woodies for me this year were in China and Korea, but that's because the only coasters I rode this year were in my epic Asia trip, including TPR China. I kind of feel bad that I can't truly rank the Chinese coasters fairly on an even playing field. All of the other top ranking coasters on my list are based on my best rides on them, which is usually late at night during ERT or at least at park closing (except for Aska, because we left that park in the early afternoon) when woodies almost always run faster. Most of the rides in my top 20 would be several notches lower based on just the rides I got earlier in the day. But with the tightness of our schedule, we always got morning rides on the woodies, though I did get some afternoon rides on Fireball and the left Dragon. On the plus side, the Dauling Dragons gets the benefit of our having ridden them truly dueling, which it's believed they've never done otherwise. And the dueling aspect, particularly during the spectacular high five element, really enhances the ride, and definitely gives it a few notches on my list. I may have only gotten 5 new woodies this year, but 4 of them ranked in my top 10 and the other ranked at 30. (I seem to be one of the only ones to not consider Wood Coaster at Knight Valley to be a top 10, though it still makes my top 30.) So I still had a pretty good year for woodies!
