Mitch Hawker 2011 Wood Coaster Poll!

^^Wow, total flashback to my first wood ballot. I was only able to vote 7, all in the western US.
Now I only need six western woodies, and that's including half of Colossus. But it'll take me awhile to get to Cliff's.

^Thanks for the clarification! I was way off. I wonder if they'll repeat something like that?

Go El Toro!!!!! (The Intamin one)

What the hell is the German one doing in the top 10?!?!?! I'm assuming the ECC Trip to Germany had something to do with that? It's a decent small GCI, but it doesn't belong in the top 10.

[cfcI've gone pantless!]

^And the ballots numbered 666!

^I was just gonna say that...lol


Not surprising that El Toro and T-Express are 1-2.

I say forget about the Disney Around the World trip that we've been talking about for years...Let's do an Intamin Woodie Around the World trip!!!

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

When is another Intamin woodie gonna get built?

4 built in 11 years is pathetic when you consider that the vastly inferior and more expensive B&M hyper coasters are spraying out everywhere like explosive diarrhea.
