Yeah, not a fan of the Eagle's Fortress stuff. It's ingenious to use mutual ridership as a factor, but this poll can be heavily influenced by a very small number of people.
Lol at Dragon being at the bottom. :)
...and the clocks were striking thirteen.

Everyone say "Thanks RDC for ruining the only "real" poll out there"
I really hate that man.

How does a ballot get tossed?

It's a long and nasty process.  Apparently there are certain things that they look for (I say they because I think he has 3 people including Mitch working on it now) and one has already been thrown out and another one has been flagged and is being reevaluated.

I don't think that Eagles Fortress was even open in 2009. Although it looks like a great ride. I'm wondering why Magnum XL-200 is ranked 69th? I know it's not a top coaster anymore, but normally it makes the top 20. Mamba is at 107; apparently Wildfire is a better ride...


This poll confuses me. Oh well, not like it will affect my life in any way.

Wildfire is a great ride, it and Mamba have totally different ride experiences which makes them hard to compare. I like both a lot!

I just still am in awe that rides with less than 20 riders are making the top ten. Manta didnt even crack top ten and that is surely top ten material. I said it in my review, I'll say it again it's a phenomenal ride from start to finish!
