TPR 2018 Coaster Poll Results!

^ Out of curiosity with the topic, where does Legend rank for you now with the new track and where does Thunderbird rank in comparison with the other B&M Wings?

Oh man, that's waaaaay too much thought to put into it. They both rank "somewhere in the middle" and that's all I've got! lol

Honestly, I don't take my own rankings that seriously. I basically vote like this:

1. Coasters I really like

2. Coasters I really hate

3. The rest of them

Voyage falls into category #2, Raven falls into category #1, and the others you mentioned are "the rest of them."'

I've never been one to sit there and dissect a roller coaster into vast pieces of minutia. I ride them and scream like a little girl. Haven't you ever seen our videos???

EDIT: I didn't even know Legend had 'new track' and if I rode it again, I probably wouldn't even notice...

The second to last list is my favorite.

Time hop reminded me that my last visit to Holiday World was 5 years ago today!

I still think highly of Voyage but it's been 5 years since my last visit and I know the wishy washy reputation, it's still a top wooden coaster on the poll. HW does the best they can to take care of the coaster (remember Timberliners?) but I wonder when they might take different actions to preserve the Voyage

^ I hadn't ridden The Voyage before last year so I can't speak about the past but it was running really good during Holiwood Nights last year. It's still not butter smooth but it was the smoothest of the three woodies I rode there and I loved the layout through the woods. Raven was a bit rough but it had a great layout and was still fun so I forgave it, although I liked Legend better it. Maybe if the Voyage gets rough again they could put RMC topper track on it but I personally don't wish for the layout to be altered too much. Now if Holiday World wants put a custom RMC through the woods I would totally be on board with that. I think Holiday World would be great for a terrian RMC Raptor that goes through the woods as they could use another steel coaster.

Anyways here are my top 10 woodie rankings:

1. Phoenix - Knoebels (#12 overall)

2. El Toro - SF Great Adventure (#13 overall)

3. The Voyage - Holiday World (#17 overall)

4. GhostRider - Knott's Berry Farm (#33 overall)

5. Mystic Timbers - Kings Island (#37 overall)

6. The Legend - Holiday World (#39 overall)

7. Thunderbolt - Kennywood (#44 overall)

8. Ravine Flyer II - Waldameer (#46 overall)

9. Gold Striker - CA Great America (#48 overall)

10. Lightning Racer - Hersheypark (#55 overall)

20. Raven - Holiday World (out of 40 woodies ranked)

I'm sure my rankings will change a bit after visiting Europe this July.

My computer is saying its not safe to view the results. Anyone else getting that message?

There's nothing wrong, it's just that the site's security certificate expired last week. We'll work on it.
