The Internet Wood Coaster Poll Results Are IN!

[dr.gumboThe classic!]

Its creepy that Ive only been on 3 woodies and one is 25th

[MeteornotesKeeper Of The Carnivorous Bees!]

Man, the Golden Tickets/Amusement Today rankings were way more accurate than this poll.

Huh?!? Explain. This poll, unlike any other, allows anyone to participate, which gives a better sampling than a bunch of random ballots sent out to a few people in Ohio, most of whom have never done little to no international travelling. The way this poll is structured makes it the most accurate and fair one out there.

Sure, I suppose the more people you get to participate gives you even more accurate results, but you cannot force people to participate in the poll. I personally think this is the most accurate poll out there, even if I don't agree with the top selection...

I am proud to say that i rode the worst wooden coaster ever. lol. but at least i rode the 5th best coaster.

[easytorememberJason X versus the Robot Space Donkey!]

I have been on one of the worst, but have also been on the best.

What's a Paul Drabek?

Is that a fatty patch jacket Robb sighting? People keep telling me about FPJR. This confirms my hunch that this alleged Paul D. realy doesn't exist. Anybody could be photoshopped into that seat. Except for the fact that no one could fit in a seat next to Robb during that dark time of his life. I still think he is just some dude that has been digitally composited into someones computer then makes random appearances via the internet. You can create completely fictional personas on the web these days.

Look at all the pictures people have of Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster. Experts still have never proved either have, or does exist.

hi ya, my name is adam and I rode my first coaster this year. I am 24 years old. I rode the legend first and then Voyage and then raven. Let me say that Paul is a blast to ride with. I did it two times this summer. I got no where near his 270 some rides on the voyage, but got 9. I am going ot be a season pass holder by spring to hw. I am going in march to Cypress Gardens and Busch gardens. I sure hope that whoever said that they think paul doesn't exist is kidding.

The Voyage was fun.....but getting off a coaster and feeling I need a nap?It can't be the BEST. What am I? The Hulk?! I'll take Phoenix or Cornball for midwest coasters ANY DAY.

[ginzoWhy do I still have a donkey title???]

I found Raven and Legend to be fairly average. Good, but nothing special.

Voyage blew me away. There's not many rides that can leave me winded by the time it's over.

Have to agree with the Raven comment, have ridden it many times all over the train and still don't get what people see in it. How it was ever #1 amazes me. How it still ranks at #11 really amazes me. It's just average at best.

I prefer the back seat of the Raven, as the drops are much more intense there. Apparently, the Raven is all about the night rides, which I haven't got to try yet, because HW closes so darn early.

I personally can see why the Raven is a top 20 ride. It packs quite a fast, crazy ride for such small little coaster. Now, I think Cornball Express and Avalanche pack even crazier rides into small footprints.

But more importantly:

At the other end of the poll, California's Grizzly made it 12 straight years in dead last. Intrastate rival
Psyclone made a bid for last, but was preferred 37 to 26 by mutual riders over Grizzly.

LOL, WOW, well at least its good at something

I'm just Glad My New Mexico Rattler is in the top 25, yippee

Looking foward to next year

[RayOfLightMacaroni and Donkey]

Wow, congratulations to Balder for beating El Toro

[rollermonkeyMy That's A Big Drink!]

This is embaressing... my coaster count is 81 yet the top coaster ive been on on that list is #27, ghostrider... I seriously need to do some riding....

Don't feel bad Flipdude. It took me three days to do my steel poll, and sadly most of my new coasters were down between 80 and 200 on my ballot. *That says something about the bulk of the Japanese coasters.)

It was odd seeing only one coaster with insufficient riders for inclusion this year, there is usually a bunch. Some folks got out to India finally I guess. Jupiter will likely move up into the normal ranks next year, but it isn't all that fantastic.
