Eh..... poll outcomes have never bothered me one way or the other. Something so subjective as "What's the best steel or wooden coaster?" can never be agreed upon because not everyone thinks the same.
I live just down the street from Cedar Point, and I guess you'd label me as a fanboy!

It was pretty apparent that Kingda Ka should've won since it has the most extreme height of the 4, but because of the big Cedar Point bias the GP have, Millennium Force won.

I305 and Steel Dragon 2000 would of been better competitors, my opinion. I wish they would of made 6 competitors instead of 4 :?r But it was still entertaining regardless.

I still don't see how Aftershock (Giant Inverted Boomerang) beat Montu, Alpengeist and Shiekra? :wtf:


It's because that show's polls are rigged from the start.I don't hardly see thousands of joe public flocking to their website & voting in that poll let alone watching the show so they have to pick a winner at random & besides the parks pay in advance to have their rides featured so they know in the end what the outcome is gonna be.

Well DT & SS have come to the official end of their useful lives,n.ow it's time to get back to speculation on their future replacement so let the name guessing continue at will

I think Intamin should make a donkey!

The "category" is heights, but the winner is supposed to be the best overall coaster.

Or how about the fact that KK is by FAR the worst coaster of the four?

^ Agreed. Millennium Force is definitely the best of that group of rides followed by Diamondback, Intimidator, and then Kingda Ka (in my opinion).

A not-so-awesome title

I like it, I just don't think it is as good as Millennium Force, Diamondback, or Intimidator (although I do like Top Thrill Dragster more than Diamondback and Intimidator even though it is a one-trick ride).

Let's please not debate Kingda Ka again. It's getting so old.
