2007 Wooden Roller Coaster Poll Results Main Page

Detailed Wood Roller Coaster Poll Results 2007

Below, the 2007 results are listed in more detail. The columns listed are: RANK, COASTER NAME, PARK, LOC (two letter abbreviation of state, province, or country), RIDERS (number of polltakers who indicated they rode each coaster), W (head to head wins versus other coasters), L (losses), T (ties), WinPct (winning percentage), and TiBk (tiebreaker..head to head preferences between those coasters tied). Special attention should again be paid to the RIDERS column when viewing the results. In general, the rankings of those coasters with more riders will be more likely to truly reflect the popular sentiment about a coaster. There is a * in place of a rank for coasters with < 5 riders. A blank line has been inserted where > (2/#coasters) WinPct gaps exist. The program was run twice. Once excluding "My Favorite Steel" to get the results for the wooden coasters so that they would not be affected by it, and once including "My Favorite Steel" so it could be placed amongst the wooden coasters.
Total Number of Ballots = 764

Average Number of Wood Coasters Ridden = 28.8
