cal1br3tto Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Yay! I know it comes out at different times from year to year, but I was getting worried and even wondering if I was the only one who missed it, as I didn't notice anyone asking about it.

coasterbill Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Slow day at the office... El Toro is still my favorite. El Toro and Phoenix are miles ahead of everything else for me. I dropped Thunderhawk way down from last year after riding it this year, they've let that ride go to hell. And after finally riding Roar at SFA I now have a brand new worst wood coaster!

downunder Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Outlaw Run should be making a major impact this year, and now that I've ridden Hades for the first time since 2007 this year - it's top ten ranking will be going down to the darkest, dankest most bottomless pit of hell - damn you Hades!

Woodie Warrior Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Glad to see this is happening this year. I was worried they weren't going to do it. Here's my ballot. Outlaw Run and Voyage are by far the best coasters I have ridden (Raging Bull is my favorite steel). American Thunder is an airtime machine so that came next. The Legend and Boss are great terrain coasters so they came next. American Eagle and Screamin' Eagle are classics and "okay" rides so they were next. I can hardly remember my rides on Viper or Raven but because they didn't stand out they're last. --fatzingers27@gmail.com------ LOCATION FOLLOWS THIS LINE (LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS) ~"St. Louis, Missouri" NAME FOLLOWS THIS LINE (LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS IN Ballot) ~"Steven Fatzinger aka Woodie Warrior" RANK THE FOLLOWING RIDING SENSATIONS <-LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS Abrupt Airtime_____________________________,y,y,1 Floating Airtime___________________________,y,y,2 Out of Control Feeling/Directional Changes_,y,y,3 Sensation of Speed_________________________,y,y,4 Positive G's/Loops_________________________,y,y,5 Lateral Forces_____________________________,y,y,6 COASTER NAME PARK LOC <--Please leave this Outlaw Run Silver Dollar City MO,y,y,1 The Voyage Holiday World IN,y,n,2 My Favorite Steel Anypark Anywhere **,y,n,3 American Thunder Six Flags St Louis MO,y,y,4 The Legend Holiday World IN,y,n,5 The Boss Six Flags St Louis MO,y,y,6 American Eagle SFGAm IL,y,n,7 Screamin' Eagle Six Flags St Louis MO,y,y,7 Viper SFGAm IL,y,n,8 Raven Holiday World IN,y,n,8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocoaster Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 Done. Due to finally getting to Beech Bend as a side trip during HWN this year, Kentucky Rumbler moved into my top five wood coasters; love that ride! El Toro is still my fave coaster, and the battle for 2nd best woodie was close. But Phoenix's overall fun factor and reridability narrowly edged out Voyage's incredible intensity, for me. Last year was the other way around. Damn, I must be getting older...

cal1br3tto Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 ^^Happy to spot some American Thunder love. It was about the same this year for me as in 2010--maybe marginally less airtime-filled, but definitely not to the point of disappointment. Nice to see this as a sticky.

DanM64 Posted December 23, 2013 Share Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) Finished mine! El Toro blows away every coaster by a lot. My worst is Hades. I haven't ridden the 360 version, and until they retrack that entire thing I have no intention to. The KK coasters may very well end up higher on the list once the park reopens them, I just don't remember them well enough to warrant a higher rating. Why did anyone care Rolling Thunder got demolished? I forgot how terrible it was until I filled this out.

mightypotato Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 ^ I was having the same issue. I just used the click and drag link. Easy peasy. Also, I asked Mitch about Hades/Hades 360. He's going to have 2 listings for Hades this year. All ballots that have ridden it this year will count as Hades 360. Otherwise, it's normal Hades.

VinTheAttendant Posted December 24, 2013 Share Posted December 24, 2013 I can't be the only one who likes to read every single ballad posted to TPR and compare them to my own. I think that's what makes this poll a lot of fun, and I'm glad I get to participate again this year. This year, I spent more time finding new thrills than reriding my favorites. Still made for a great season.
