Steel Poll - This Year's Ride Experiences 2009
The rankings were also run using only this year's riding experiences. These
results are less meaningful as there are many pairings of coasters
that no rider had ridden both of this year. As you can see, our poll
respondants had ridden an average of 20 wood coasters this year. That sounds
good until it is realized that when there are about 2/5 as many ride
experiences it causes there to be an average of about 1/6 as many people
who had ridden each pair of coasters (this year vs. ever).
Therefore, I want to be very clear that the following results based on
only 2009 ride experiences have a much greater margin of error and are only
included here because they may be of some limited additional interest to
some enthusiasts who want more information on how a particular coaster was
perceived by those who rode it this year.
It looks like the retheming of Bizarro did not affect it's popularity among those who
experienced it this year.
Millennium Force actually beats Diamondback among those who rode them both this year.
The 2009 mutual riders preferred MF by a whopping 35 to 20 margin over Diamondback.
FWIW, Maverick was also preferred by 2009 mutual riders over Diamondback 30-27.
Average Number of Coasters/Categories Ridden = 20.0
