The Internet Wood Coaster Poll Results Are IN!

[Guy T. KoeppNow with Extra Retarded Flavor]

As I have not ridden Voyage or Balder. My Top coaster was El Toro. I'm pleased that it came out as #3. I'm hoping to get up to HW this year to ride those three great costers myself. So I can be the judge, cause' there seems to be some contradiction in what people realy say about them.

I am also looking forward to hopefully debunking this myth of the legendary Paul Drabek, as I believe that this person dosn't realy exist. :?

Phoenix #4!?!?!?!?!?!?!? What is wrong with people? "It ain't that good!"

Dennis "needs to shut up while he's ahead!"

That's what I was thinking too! Phoenix being better than her brother, Twister! I thought Twister had a better edge over the Phoenix last summer! Sad to say, the Phoenix is not what it used to be in the 1990's. It has lost it's luster, and the slam dunk on the 2nd to last hop into the brake run is gone. I've been riding the Phoenix every summer for the past 20 years and I have noticed the Phoenix becoming mellow in the past 4 years.

Wow, I'm glad I didn't ride it "back in the day" then, cause I rode it for the first time ever this year and it scared the crap outta me!

That's my kind of airtime! I look forward to riding the Phoenix for the first time ever this June.

I thought DBH was ranked fairly. I put it at #8 on my ballot, and out of the coasters I have ridden, it placed at #11 in the final results.

Well I was pleased to see that all the woodies I rated as '1' (because I can't cope with rating them all individually) were in the top -60!!!

I WAS surprised that there were only 490 completed ballots given the size of the TPR community alone.

So for anyone who didn't vote and looks askance at the end results, just follow the tips given by Robb/Coasterfanatic, keep it relatively simple ( I only have 6 categories but next year I think I can break that down further to say 8 ) and get your vote in.

My personal views are:

Voyage No.1 ?? - get a life

BPB - Wild Mouse - come on you none voters who have ridden this, get voting!!

Cornball IN - glad to see you in the top 25, you belong there.

As for Thunderhead and Hades on a tie at 07- all I can say is they are my most anticipated not yet ridden coasters - so I'll see what I can do about that in 07

Steve- it really is all too technical for me-C

I was surprised by the drop off in poll submissions this year as well. I wonder if it was in any way related to the fiasco last year?

The Wild Mouse @ BPB has been in my top ten woodies more than once, so: Amen, Bruthah Steve!

What's a Paul Drabek?

What's a Paul Drabek?

[rollermonkeyMy That's A Big Drink!]

The worst thing is that I recognize where that photo was taken, but not the people in it. Which one is the 'infamous' P.aul D.rabek?

^Dumbass.

He's an enthusiast who's a 'little' too obsessed with Holiday World.

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.

[Reality15Spinach plus Tuna makes the taste of the paste!]

The only "surprise" that I had was Wolf Kabobs at #154. I honestly think this ride has gotten a LOT better in the past two years, and it was easily within the top-15 on my list.

I don't think Voyage deserved #1. In all honesty, it's TOO long. It's too much.

I'd like to see more GCII's up higher on the list. I would have guessed Kentucky Rumbler to be in at least the top-10.
