JimmyBo Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I noticed "Odyssey" states that it's in Silverwood. When you click the link it's for Odyssey it still says Silverwood but when you click on RCDB it's at Fantasy Island. So far I've been slowly adding my coasters ridden and then i'll eventually get to ranking them. I have a lot of coasters and I'm all for Elissa about having top 25 and bottom 25 or so and everything else in between is just the same. I haven't played with the ranking too much but i figured i'd let you know about Odyssey since I just saw it. Jimmy "I LOVE THIS POLL" Bo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consequence of entering these coasters too fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicmand Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Sorry if this has already been mentioned, but there are a lot of pages to sort through on this thread. For some reason, the ranking list is having issues re-ordering itself. When I manually re-order them, it sometimes works, but sometimes won't reorder the coasters after it... and sometimes only registers the first digit (21 becomes 2). When I drag and drop, it's assigning a number that is sometimes #1 (despite being dropped between 11 and 13, for example), and sometimes is a completely different number. All of these problems are on Chrome. Sidewinder from Elitch Gardens is still missing. Is it still operating? Also, have you thought about letting the user search the park directly and get that park page instead of having to click through a roller coaster from the park first? It's just an extra click for me, but for some of you guys who have ridden hundreds of coasters, it might save some work load. Finally, I wonder if you might want to include extinct coasters on this list as well. Obviously, that's a lot of work, but it would be interesting to compare some of the coasters that have gone before. For example, I would rank the Mega Zeph from Jazzland fairly high on my modest list. Overall, looks great! Thanks for doing this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.J. Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Sidewinder from Elitch Gardens is still missing. Is it still operating? Yes, it's missing, and yes, it's operating. It will be added in my next batch. Finally, I wonder if you might want to include extinct coasters on this list as well. Obviously, that's a lot of work, but it would be interesting to compare some of the coasters that have gone before. For example, I would rank the Mega Zeph from Jazzland fairly high on my modest list. We are not including any coasters that are defunct or SBNO on this list. We want the ranking to be about today's best coasters, not yesterday's. I'm sure there are plenty of people whose lists would be larger if defunct coasters were added in (myself included), but we don't believe that it's appropriate to rank a coaster that no one can ride.

JordyC Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Fantastic! Most of my favorite coasters are in the poll now! There are still some of my favorites and some other larger coasters that are missing: - Heidi The Ride - Plopsaland De Panne - Big Thunder Mountain - Disneyland Paris - Colossos - Heide Park Resort* - Pegasus - Europa-Park - RC Racer - Disneyland Paris - Walt Disney Studios - Oki Doki - Bobbejaanland - Python - Efteling - Vilde Mus - Bakken *It is still SBNO at this point, so maybe that's why it is not included.

Once we have all of our bases covered and start adding "new / refurbished for 20XX" rides, we'll be calling out individual rides as they are added.

JordyC Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 ^Great, thanks! I have just discovered that there is another big one missing..

SharkTums Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 ^^Just my opinion, but I think you could put Colossos at Heide Park back on the list. It ran recently, and is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJLehto Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Compiling my list now. Superb work thus far! Seriously, it will be wonderful to have an accurate ranking back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 (edited) I really like the fact that this system makes it so easy to do a little at a time and then come back. I'm about halfway done, but it doesn't seem so daunting if you split it up. That's not really a comment on the interface by the way, just the fact that this is inherently time consuming (especially if you're like me and you're not any good at ranking coasters). I'm definitely learning some things about myself as I do this. I'm basically playing the... "If I were standing in front of these 2 coasters, which would I rather ride", game and: - I now apparently have a soft spot for Green Lantern after my awesome 19 degree hypothermia inducing Holiday in the Park Ride. - I really hated Raven at Holiday World. Like... REALLY hated it. I'm amazed at the horrible things I'm ranking ahead of it (see the above bullet point as an example). - If you can get beyond the placement of Millennium Force, Mystery Mine and Kingda Ka, my top 20 isn't as absurd as I would have expected. - I f*cking apparently love Ranging Bull, shut the hell up about the stupid trim brake.

PKI Jizzman Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Shoot, you can only see the top 5, which is fair. Are we going to be able to look at other user's entire ranks in future updates? Spotlight on bill; here's all I can see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coasterbill Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 By the way, El Loco was a mistake because I dragged it up but not down so it defaulted to #1. Superman was a mistake also but it's been fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 - If you can get beyond the placement of Millennium Force, Mystery Mine and Kingda Ka, my top 20 isn't as absurd as I would have expected. I actually put all three of those in my top 20 as well. I probably wouldn't have ranked Mystery Mine so highly except that on my last trip I got several awesome rides on it with all the effects working. I have a lot of tied rankings, especially in my top 20. I'm glad you guys allowed for that. I just can't decide between some of my favorite coasters, especially wood vs. steel. I'm actually done ranking, but I'll probably fool around with it more whenever I log in. Too perfectionistic for my own good. Question: I'm wondering if gaps in ranking will affect calculations for the winners. I occasionally skipped numbers to make it easier on myself to order, and my worst coasters I ranked high numbers that exceed the actual number of coasters on my list.

coasterbill Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I was wondering about that too, but I have some things that are tied by accident that aren't supposed to be so I was just going to go through and number them manually anyway.

oriolat Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 I have a question: aren't all powered coasters included? I have found Alpenexpress at Europa Park and Runaway Mine Train at Alton Towers listed but not Gold Mine at Nigloland, Tibidabo Express at Tibidabo or Odinexpressen at Tivoli Gardens. They are custom models and fairly large yet not on the poll. Thanks for the huge job you are doing, guys! Having a poll like this is always fun!

A.J. Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 - Van Helsing's Factroy - Movie Park Germany Added. I have found Alpenexpress at Europa Park and Runaway Mine Train at Alton Towers listed but not Gold Mine at Nigloland, Tibidabo Express at Tibidabo or Odinexpressen at Tivoli Gardens. They are custom models and fairly large yet not on the poll. No powered coasters should be on the poll, the ones you mentioned (along with Disneyland Paris' Casey Jr) have now been removed. Just my opinion, but I think you could put Colossos at Heide Park back on the list. It ran recently, and is coming back. Curious - did Colossos run at all during the 2017 season? If it did for more than a special occasion I suppose we could put it on for the 2017 poll. Anyone else have any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molemaster43 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 Wonderful system so far and I love the format of this. The only things missing for me so far are Lakemont Park's Skyliner and Leap the Dips and Michigan's Adventure's Mad Mouse, but other than that, great system!

Coaster_t Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 could do with a delete option on the ranking list. I've tried dragging out of the ranked list but this doesn't seem to work. however love this poll and a great easy way to keep track of the listed coasters I've ridden. Hopefully the list will be expanded to include some of the lesser known parks around the world. Such as the Scenic Railway at Margate, England. A classic ride which should stand alongside Blackpools Big Dipper IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Condor Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 ^^Just go to the 'ridden' page and deselect the coaster you don't want to rank. It will disappear from your rankings, then you can go back and select 'ridden' again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

winningfreak Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Excellent work on the TPR Coaster Poll. I remember Mitch Hawker's Wood Coaster Poll's from a few years back. I still think El Toro holds the top spot for wood. That coaster is one for the ages. Thank you for doing this! I'm super excited to see the results.
