I'll get it started with the two most common complaints: -too many lines in the ballot -too few lines in the ballot, please list all five thousand+ steel coasters ------------- Texas Giant was mistakenly left off initially. Added to ballot on Jan 29. Actual name should be "New Texas Giant" ------------- Goliath isn't on the ballot, yet Aftershock (Silverwood) and Stunt Fall (Parque Warner Madrid) are on the poll. There also wasn't an option to vote for favorite Vekoma Giant Inverted Boomerang, so I am assuming this is just a mistake? Note:Goliath SFNE added Jan 30th - Olandese Volante (Rainbow Magicland) on the ballot is just a Vekoma Mine Train. Other problems I found/things worth thinking about for the next years ballot: - Group the Intamin Impulse Coasters (Wicked Twister Cedar Point, Vertical Velocity in Six Flags Parks) - Group the large ZacSpins - Group the Favorite Jet Star, Jet Star 2 and City Jet groups - Like SF, Cedar Fair has three identical Back Lot Stunt Coasters that could be grouped - Roller Soaker in Hersheypark, PA is sold to another park after season 2012 - Great American Scream Machine SF Great Adventure is scrapped in 2010 - The Travelling Spinning Racer is a normal Maurer SC 2000 - What is Rioolrat (Hellendoorn) doing on this list? There are a lot better Vekoma Junior roller coasters to be found around. - Why is Rodelbaan (Waarbeek) removed? There are smaller coasters to be found on the ballot. - Demon in California's Great America and Demon in SF Great America are both Loop Screw Coasters? - There is only one Soquet coaster in the ballot, Furio in Dennlys Parc FR. I think you should make it a group like "Fav Soquet Family, Anypark Anywhere, FR" instead. - To be considerated to be added: Montagna Suiza (Parque de Attractiones de Monte Igueldo, ES) Tyfoon (Dippie Doe, NL), Val d'Icare (Parc Asterix,FR), Linnanrata (Linnanmaki, FI), custom Zierer Tivoli (Jaguar (Knotts, CA) Orca (Boudewijnpark,BE), etc) ----- Non existent coaster Great American Scream Six Flags Great Ad NJ This steel coaster was removed for the listed Green Lantern coaster. ----- Missing coaster Polar Coaster Story Land Glen, NH This is a Custom Hopkins family coaster. It is not idividually listed and because it is custom it dose not fit into any of the bulk model options. Question in the listing the 3 Dark night coasters (Six Flags Great Adventure, Mexico, and Great America) are listed seporatly. these 3 cloned coasters are simply an indoor wild mouse with identical themeing. But The Euro Fighter 320+ is a Bulk listing dispite the 3 coasters having vastly different settings and themeing. The experiance form one coaster to another would be more varied on the Eurofighers the on the Dark night coasters. I have Ridden Untamed (Eurofighter 320+) at Canobie Lake Park in Salem, NH and wish I could rate it individually. Lastly has there been any consideration to spiting the mouse category. the classic Hershel and miller mouses are very different then the modern mouses found at most parks. It woudl be nice to rate then by style instead of trying to average them together. ----- Added Jan 30th Mountain Peak Jin Jiang CN,y,y,0 Stingray Giant Wheel Park CN,y,y,0 Dragon in Clouds Happy Valley Chen CN,y,y,0 ----- Spinning Batman at Beijing Shijingshan is currently SBNO. And from the looks of the station and the ride, I doubt it will ever run again. It looks pretty abandoned, even in an operating park. Also at Beijing Shijingshan is Shenzhou Coaster, which is a knockoff SLC. Basically, Beijing Shibaolai Amusement Equipment completely ripped off the EXACT design of the standard Vekoma Suspended Looping Coasters. And there are supposedly 11 of them now, so it doesn't make sense to list one, but none of the others. There are also several other companies making knockoff SLC's, some of them with the cobra rolls, as discussed below. Maybe there could be a "Chinese knockoff SLC" category? ;-) In fact, since they're mostly horribly painful, it almost doesn't matter, because they will most likely actually rank LOWER than the SLC's! On a totally different note, does it actually help anything to create new categories that only include 2-4 coasters? I'm a pretty well-traveled enthusiast, and I can't even keep track of them all. It doesn't seem worth it to list them separately to save one or two listings on the ballot. A few in particular that I'd go back to listing separately, because they are actually quite good coasters that deserve to be listed separately: Superman - Ultimate Flight. There are only three. And the original one in Georgia is actually different than the later ones, because they tamed down the pretzel loop, having the train leave it earlier to tame down the forces. That's probably why it usually ranks higher than the rest. In addition, Crystal Wings in Beijing is also a clone of these, so it should probably be grouped with them. But the incredible theming built around the coaster enhances it tremendously, which makes it deserving of a separate listing. But I'd argue that they all are. Of all of the groupings, these are the one I'd most argue for separating. Fav Eurofighter 320 and Fav El Loco, Fav Intamin ZacSpin and Fav Vekoma Invertigo. With only 3, 4, 2and 4 of each, why bother? Especially when the two bigger Zac Spins are already separated. Fav Jet Star, Fav Jet Star II, Fav JS III/Jumbo Jet. Yes, I'm a Schwarzkopf fan, but does anyone but the biggest uber-geeks really know the difference between these -- or care? Just combine them in to Fav Jet Star. The different motocoasters by the different companies are far more different than these are. Fav Mack YoungStar? They're kiddie coasters. Why even list them? --------- While all the well known stand along of the Vekoma Roller skater are not listed there is no group option for Fav Vekoma Skater(Roller skater) or family coaster. Strangely there is a listed for Family boomerang despite there being only 2 in the world and neither of which are in the US were you get most of your responses from. ----- In the "Spinning Wild Mouse" section down below, the first one listed is the "Galaxy Spin" at Cypress Gardens. As I'm sure you know, Cypress Gardens is now Legoland Florida, but that's not the true error here. That coaster was dismantled and moved to Fun Spot USA in Kissimmee, FL, with the new name of "Power Trip Coaster". ---- Was not actually on the ballot, even though instructions said that it was added.
