Mitch Hawker's Coaster Polls 2008

Talk about anything that has to do with the amusement park industry here.
Postby monsterfan99 on November 6th, 2008, 9:49 am
Hey everyone. Voting has started on the steel and wood polls. Thought I would direct everyone to it.

http://www.ushsho.com/bestrollercoasterpoll.htm - Main web-site for the polls. Has instructions on what to do.

http://www.coasterfanatics.com/sec_poll/ - the easy way to do the polls.

Theme Park Review also has a idiot's guide to how to do it using the text way on their forums. I suggest everyone does the poll, no matter how many credits they have.

^Sure I do, because I don't waste money by supporting those kind of people.

But seriously, Coaster Fanatics poll does the work for you. You click what parks you've been to, then you drag the coaster list in the order you want. Then it emails the list for you.

It honestly took me 5 mins to do. No work on notepad or Word. Its all done on the site for you.

One thing I forgot, the deadline is around December 1st. That is the date I think it is due, but can't find the link again with it.

I just filled out the wood one for the first time ever and took me almost an hour with the Coaster Fanatics for 128 wood coasters and I only ranked about half of them, did like top 20, then a huge mass of unrankability, the kiddie coasters near the bottom and at the very bottom the real stinkers of the world. Bandit at Movie Park, SOB, PGA Grizzly, Mean Streak, etc...

with 439 steel, even with these programs, it'd be entirely to time consuming.

I guess at least I can use the same ballot next year for the wood and make changes manually.
Favorite Wood Coasters: The Voyage, Ravine Flyer II, Thunderhead, Balder
Favorite Steel: Voltron Nevera, Steel Vengeance, Expedition GeForce, Olympia Looping
Parks visited: 232, Coasters Ridden: Steel: 894, Wood: 179, Total: 1073

It helps that all the clones are grouped and you only have to rank the group (Batman, Arrow Corkscrew, Wild Mouse ect...)
