The Mitch Hawker 2013 Wood Coaster Poll Thread!


Recommended Posts

^It's a shame, too. Hades was one of my favorite wooden coasters when it first opened.

I just went back and looked at my previous ballots. Here's how my Hades rankings went over the years:

 

2005 - 10

2006 - 5

2007 - 6

2008 - 15

2009 - 15

2010 - 40

2011 - 40

2012 - 40

2013 - DEAD LAST

 

The years it dropped down to 40 it was in my "bottom 20", basically. But I rode it twice this year, and I just couldn't believe how rough it was. It honestly was my "worst roller coaster ride I've ever had." Worse than Goudurix. Worse than Bandit, White Canyon, and Coaster Express combined. Not even a Chineese knock-off SLC has delivered a worse ride than it.

 

And it's nothing against Gravity Group. I have 4 of their rides in my top 15 (5 depending on how you count the high five woodie), and I *loved* this one the first few years it was open.

 

I do hope it gets fixed, because clearly it had enough potential to be in my top five at one point.

I almost feel dirty to say that I actually didn't mind Hades (pre-loop), but I only rode it once around 12:30 at night, in the front seat, after I had been drinking a little bit. Must be that the couple of cocktails loosened me up because I thought it wasn't that bad at the time!

 

I think I had it ranked about the lower middle of the pack...

Trust me. No matter how drunk you are, if you ride in the back, you would remember it.

 

Seems like Hades is the last one for a lot of people this year.

^ Oh, yeah. The ride has AMAZING potential. All you have to do is look at the rider cams or the backseat POV and you can start to get an idea of how unpleasant the ride is.

 

Someone once told me "Hades 360 isn't a coaster you ride, it's a coaster you SURVIVE."

 

Oddly enough, I don't think they had an "I Survived Hades 360" T-Shirt! The one time a ride could have legitimately used one!

Now that`s bitter...I just imagine all the people travelling far to give hades another try...just to find out it`s (still) the worlds worst coaster

 

But nice to see Colossos still doing well. At least one top woodie here in Germany

I don't think paying to experience the worst coaster in the world is really that bad, it's also an important life event for a coaster enthusiast. Not every coaster has to be excellent. Sometimes a really terrible coaster can make the good ones seem better.

Dang, what a shame. Hope they re-track the entire thing or give it one of the various RMC treatments (yeah in our dreams Im sure). Well not like I'll be out there anytime soon.

 

Not to derail, looking forward to the results

I remember during IAAPA, I asked about Hades 360 getting retracked for next year on Gravity Group Facebook.

image.jpg.fb9b0e6e36ec70aae8bfbd1fdd7b3804.jpg

They said they did but who knows how extensive. I agree about Hades 360 has the potential with its unique layout that it could be a top 10 coaster with enough work done to it. But right now it's just to brutal of a coaster. That's why it's at the bottom of my ballot.

 

Here is my ballot. 2014 should see a major increase in my wood count.

This is correct.

Had the strongest ejector I personally experienced (until it was topped by Skyrush) and has a pretty out of control feel. When I first rode it the 90 degree figure 8 section blew my mind.

Many here know I'm a basher of my home park, but El Toro I could ride all day

Nothing new for me. I guess "Backwards Viper" is about it, if that counts.

I keep hearing that El Torro is absolutely amazing! I need to save some money and make a trip to New Jersey!!

 

Yes, you do. It really re-writes the rules of airtime (at least in the USA), coasters I used to think had amazing ejector air (like Bizarro at SFNE) got put in their place by El Toro. Ride it in the back car... as soon as you start going down the first drop (the whole thing is sustained ejector airtime) you'll know you'll never think about airtime the same way again. The ride starts out amazing with 3 consecutive moments of insane airtime and then has the best finale I can think of. There's a moment of airtime that comes out of nowhere and is probably illegal in 49 states followed by some ground hugging turns taken at ridiculous speeds with really fast changes in direction. The ride is flat out nuts.

 

That's why I don't understand the Boulder Dash people... I love Boulder Dash but you've got to be kidding me if you think it's better than El Toro.

 

When you say "I need to save some money and make a trip to New Jersey!!" I hope you really mean it. Seriously, start saving up... it's so worth it.

Few notes:

I'm more of a Speed/Out of Control feeling kinda guy, but air time is another major factor into my decision. I think that's why the majority of my lists feature coasters that are either weird/unique or are woodsy/lots of themeing that gives that "proximity" effect.

 

Also, I've moved Mean Streak up a bit from previous years. While I still really don't like that coaster, after riding this year again, it wasn't as badddddd as I remembered it, it's just effing useless of a coaster. Having ridden Hades for the first time this year, Holy crap awful. I'm going to agree with Robb, I'd rather ride Goudrix all day than take one more ride on that beast. RE-TRACK THAT RIDE PLEASE!

 

Also, some of my decision making for a few coasters are also from some EPIC ERT sessions I've had, and some of them stick fondly with me. I think it's something to say that you learn a ride much better when you can do multiple laps, multiple seating positions, and see it in the AM vs. the PM. I try and factor coasters in as honestly as possible, but to be honest... If you were to have me do this list again in a month, it would probably be a little different. I have a very difficult time position my top 5 coasters. I hate the question "what is your favorite" because I don't have just one. I'm not one to rank things well, but I suck it up for this poll because I truly believe that helping Mitch's poll serves a great purpose in the coaster community, and is VERY well worth it.

 

I'm going to be very curious to see the outcome of Outlaw Run on this year's poll. I don't think it will crack the #1 spot, but it'll sure give the top guns a run for their money!

Wow. My thoughts... EXACTLY!!!

 

I really don't have a "number one" or even a "top ten list" in my normal every day life. I just have a short list of rides I really like a lot and a list of rides that I think should be torn down. And that essentially becomes my top and bottom list. Everything else, meh it's "fine" and while I'm sure some of them are better or worse than others, I'll just enjoy them for what they are...

My list is rather deprived at the top -- outside of Outlaw Run, the vast majority of coasters showing up in the top 10 of other lists (El Toro, Boulder Dash, Phoenix, Ravine Flyer II, and a few coasters overseas) are rides I've never been on.

 

Hades is as bad as everybody is saying, but if it were still an option for the list, I'd rank Son of Beast below it. Both rides aggressively tried to murder me, but Hades at least had an interesting layout in doing so. Frankly, Hades probably has one of the ten most interesting layouts on my list, so for it to end up ranked at the very bottom is a remarkable testament its spleen-busting roughness and complete lack of enjoyability.

 

Sue me, I have Mean Streak just barely in my top half .

So it's not just me with Outlaw Run? It's short, but the whole ride, every element is exceptional. And the terrain aspect adds some flavour.

 

Hades 360 was 360 degrees of pure spleen rupturing brutality, like 50 Shades of Being Dragged along Gravel. Once you hit the bottom of the first drop it's 100% hell, except for the new bit. I loved it in 2007 and now I'd happily pour some petrol and light a match. I hear the Wisconsin Dells mafia now uses Hades 360 as a standover tactic with great success - confessions extracted, drug money paid...
