Thanks to the TPR Texas trip, I have a brand new bottom two wooden coasters!

Also interesting that my favorite and least favorite are both Gravity Group. Haha.

Just finished my ballot. Took me about 10 minutes.... if that. And I had 163 woodies on my list.

I just started making a spreadsheet the other day to help me make my list (Ned would be so proud). I guess I have to get cracking at it. Balder is also my new number 1 this year.

^ Ned is proud! Everyone should have their coaster count on a spreadsheet to help with things like this!

^^Ha! I was just about to start a spreadsheet so I could sort out my list. Then I read Robb's "Idiot Guide" and I think I will just rank my top 10 and bottom 10 and then group the others.

I was mainly having a hard time with the middle of the pack and the coasters I loved but only rode as a kid, but I know aren't that great now. (i.e. Colossus, the Beast)

I'm psyched for the polls this year...I have 180 new credits in 2009, including 26 new woodies, and still have a PortAventura trip coming up this month.

Thank you TPR for enabling my addiction.

By doing this poll, I realized I have been on a lot more wooden coasters than I thought...

I also noticed a HUGE difference in my top 7 verses those below it.

My top 10:

1) Balder
2) El Toro
3) Fav. Steel Coaster
4) Boulder Dash
5) Thunderhead
6-7) Lightening Racer
8) Thunder Run
9) The Boss (haven't ridden since 2004)
10) Ghost Rider (haven't ridden since 2002!)
