Viper sits at 53, Eagle continues it's climb in the rankings to 93 and Little Dipper sits at 152 which is 2 better than it's final year at Kiddieland (154).

Can't really argue with any of the rankings except maybe Little Dipper, but when it comes to Jr Woodies most people group them together at the bottom of their ballot without regard for individual coasters, as long as one of the traditional worst coasters is at the bottom, which this year ended up being the steaming pile of crap known as Bandit at Movie Park in Germany, which happens to be an exact mirror image clone of our Viper, just with different trains.

Also in our area, Hades 360 debuted at #168, 7 ahead of Bandit. I believe it.

Viper is a mirror image of cyclone, so would that make it a cyclone clone?

[Iron Wolf 90-11]

I wonder where goliath will rank next year.

[FParker185]

I would guess Goliath would make it somewhere in the top 5-10.

and For bandit, it would be a Cy-clone, but with the same extremely tame profile of Viper. Also Viper isn't all that faithful of a clone to begin with, but still close enough to be consider a (mirror image) Cy-clone.

Well, Outlaw Run ranked #3, so that should give you a good idea of approximately where Goliath will be next year.

Screaming Eagle better than American Eagle Sctaching my head on that one.

I'll agree on that one, though they are pretty close. Though being in the middle of the poll where people don't actually rank rides, people usually rank their top 20 or so, then their bottom couple, the rest are just thrown in there with the aid of the poll helpers, but it comes down to SFStL has an awesome event every year, and for SFGAm, if each and every one of us dropped dead right now, they'd throw a rather large party. That gives Screamin Eagle the edge in polls. Though in reality they're pretty much the same.

A little surprised Gold Striker's so high. I thought it was just an average coaster.
