Instructions: 2012 Internet Steel Tracked Roller Coaster Poll This file contains the Instructions, Changed Lines since 2010, and List of Grouped/Clone Coasters that are inluded in the poll on a "Fav Type X Coaster" line only. The actual blank ballot file is at http://www.ushsho.com/steelballot2012.txt Some of you might prefer Jordan Hatch's drag and drop ballot creator, it is at http://hawker.stationbrakes.com/ This ballot contains over 400 steel rollercoasters worldwide. If you are new to the poll and intimidated by these written instructions, you may want to look at the screen-shot illustrated instructions at http://www.ushsho.com/cpvisual.htm. If you are well versed in using "change all" commands in your editor and/or sorting with a spreadsheet, you may want to check the tips under "FASTEST METHOD" below. The coasters are listed alphabetically by state, then by park name, with non-U.S. coasters listed at the end. INSTRUCTIONS: PLEASE NOTE: When copying and pasting to e-mail you must ensure that all spacings within a line of the ballot are preserved. Using a straight text editor (such as notepad) and sending the ballot as an attachment is the most foolproof way of doing that. TYPOS/CORRECTIONS: If you find a mistake that is not in the known list of typos (http://www.ushsho.com/knownsteelballotproblems2012.txt), by all means let me know at wcoasterpoll@yahoo.com, so that it can be fixed in the final results, but DO NOT fix it yourself in your ballot as any changes will prevent a line (coaster) from being recognized on your ballot by the vote counting program. In past years there have been a few people who have found the instructions cumbersome, so I have added the following visual example of the voting process. The actual ballot and written instructions follow. Example Ballot before: --your_e-mail_address@your_provider.com------ NAME FOLLOWS THIS LINE (LEAVE THIS LINE)_____ ~"your name between quotes" RANK THE FOLLOWING RIDING SENSATIONS <-LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS Abrupt Airtime_____________________________,y,y,0 Floating Airtime___________________________,y,y,0 Lateral Forces_____________________________,y,y,0 Out of Control Feeling/Directional Changes_,y,y,0 Positive G's/Loops_________________________,y,y,0 Sensation of Speed_________________________,y,y,0 COASTER NAME PARK LOC<-LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS Favorite Wood Coaster Any Park Anywhere **,n,n,0 Batman The Ride/Clone SF & Other Parks **,n,n,0 Fav Arrow Corkscrew Any Park Anywhere **,n,n,0 Desert Storm Castles N' Coaster AZ,n,n,0 Quicksilver Express Bonfante Gardens CA,n,n,0 Top Gun Paramount's Great CA,n,n,0 Riddler's Revenge Six Flags Magic Mo CA,n,n,0 ------------------------------------------------0 <--Please leave this Example Ballot after: --JoeRider@crashprone.com------ NAME FOLLOWS THIS LINE (LEAVE THIS LINE)___ ~"Joe Coaster Rider" RANK THE FOLLOWING RIDING SENSATIONS <-LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS Abrupt Airtime_____________________________,y,y,1 Floating Airtime___________________________,y,y,2 Lateral Forces_____________________________,y,y,3 Out of Control Feeling/Directional Changes_,y,y,4 Positive G's/Loops_________________________,y,y,5 Sensation of Speed_________________________,y,y,6 COASTER NAME PARK LOC<-LEAVE THIS LINE AS IS Favorite Wood Coaster Any Park Anywhere **,y,y,4 Batman The Ride/Clone SF & Other Parks **,y,n,3 Fav Arrow Corkscrew Any Park Anywhere **,y,n,3 Desert Storm Castles N' Coaster AZ,y,y,1 Top Gun Paramount's Great CA,y,n,2 ------------------------------------------------0 <-LEAVE THIS LINE ^ ^ | | Marked all you have ever ridden 'y'------- | Marked all you rode this year 'y'----------- Note: you ranked the six listed riding sensations 1-6(against each other), you have deleted all coasters that you have never ridden, you added your e-mail address to the first line, (e-mail addresses will be kept confidential) you added your name to line two, rated favorite coaster as '1' etc., rated Favorite Wood Coaster, etc as if it were your favorite of that type but did NOT change the name, you left delimiting lines in as instructed. Then e-mail ballot to wcoasterpoll@yahoo.com with subject: 2012 Steel Poll Ballot HERE ARE THE FULL WRITTEN INSTRUCTIONS: Step 1: I recommend using your browser's "File/Save as" option to save this ballot as a pure .txt file before editing it as such. Using the Notepad editor that comes with Windows (usually in the accessories folder) is a foolproof way of doing this as it can only edit text files. Step 1A: Put your email address on line 1 of the ballot (REQUIRED) E-mail addresses will be kept strictly confidential and used only to mail ballot receipt acknowledgement (within 48 hours), final results (upon conclusion of the poll), and eventually, next year's ballot. Step 1B: Put your name in the quotes on line 2 of the ballot (OPTIONAL) (putting your name here will make it easier for you to find and verify your processed ballot, and allow others to see whose list of favorites it is on the website.) Step 1C: Rank the list of six riding sensations (OPTIONAL) (Doing so will allow rankings to be done based on riders that prefer each type of ride, another ranking to be done showing how these sensations were ranked against each other, and enable people who may have similar likes/dislikes to see which coasters on your ballot they may or may not like if they get the chance to ride them.) Step 2: Mark All The Coasters That You Have Ridden Please delete all coasters from your ballot except those that you have ridden. Please change the first 'n' to a 'y' for each of the coasters you have ridden. Change the second 'n' to a 'y' for each coaster you rode in 2012. It is important that you mark ALL coasters you have ridden. Please try to keep each line 'as is' except for the aforementioned changes. You may change the ordering of the lines if that makes it easier for you to complete the ranking. A ">" in column 1 as often happens in a reply is OK. Step 3: Rank The Coasters You Have Ridden Using Method A or B. Treat the line "Favorite Wood Coaster Any Park Anywhere **,n,n,0" (and other lines that represent a favorite of a type of coaster) as if it were your favorite of that type and rank it accordingly. DO NOT change the line except for the n's and the 0. DO NOT change it to the real name of the wood coaster. If you can't place your favorite wood coaster in relation to steel coasters, just delete that line. The idea is simply to see where the average poll respondent would rank their favorite wood coaster in relation to the steel coasters. Method A: Individual Ranking Replace the '0' in the last column with a numeral representing its' rank, '1'=best through '500'(or however many you have ridden)=worst e.g. Steel Force Dorney Park PA,y,y,4 Magnum XL-200 Cedar Point OH,y,n,2 Shockwave Six Flags Over Tex TX,y,y,3 Favorite Wood Coaster Any Park Anywhere **,y,n,5 Medusa Six Flags Great Ad NJ,y,y,1 Method B: Group Ranking If you cannot decide between two coasters or a group of coasters, give them the same rank. You may choose to group as many or as few as you want. e.g. Steel Force Dorney Park PA,y,n,2 Magnum XL-200 Cedar Point OH,y,y,1 Shockwave Six Flags Over Tex TX,y,y,2 Favorite Wood Coaster Any Park Anywhere **,y,n,1 Medusa Six Flags Great Ad NJ,y,n,2 You may combine the two methods. e.g. Medusa Six Flags Great Ad NJ,y,y,1 Favorite Wood Coaster Any Park Anywhere **,y,n,2 Steel Force Dorney Park PA,y,n,3 Magnum XL-200 Cedar Point OH,y,y,3 Shockwave Six Flags Over Tex TX,y,y,3 Method A is preferable if you can do it, as more of your individual coaster vs. coaster preferences can be gleaned from it. In any case, PLEASE RANK AS MANY AS YOU CAN. NOTE: All coasters you give a numerical rank to, even if that rank is "999", are treated as ranked better than any coasters left ranked as "0". Step 4: E-Mail Your Ballot To wcoasterpoll@yahoo.com with subject: 2012 Steel Poll Ballot, if you have had trouble in the past keeping the lines as pure text (including all spaces), I recommend sending your ballot as a .txt file attachment to the e-mail. FASTEST METHOD: FASTEST METHOD: Download http://ushsho.com/steelballot2012.xls Step 1: Open the file, Put your email address in cell A1 Step 1A: Put your State/Province or Country between the quotes in cell A3 Step 1B: Put your name or nickname between the quotes in cell A5 (optional) Step 1C: Rank the six riding sensations 1 (best) to 6 (worst) (Optional) Step 2: Mark The Coasters That You Have Ridden by changing "n" to "y" in column B. Step 2A: Select (highlight) from cell A14 to D198 and sort by column B. Step 2B: Highlight and delete the rows of coasters that you have not ridden. Step 2C: Mark The Coasters Ridden in 2012 by changing "n" to "y" in column C. Step 3: Rank the coasters in column D. ( 1 is best) Step 4: E-Mail as attachment To wcoasterpoll@yahoo.com with Subject:Steel Poll Ballot Hints: It may be easier to GROUP the coasters first by assigning a rank (e.g. 10, 20, 30, 40,...) to each coaster, then sort them by rank before differentiating between all coasters initially grouped as 10 by changing their ranks to 10 through 19, etc. The spreadsheet method is quicker because you can move from cell to cell replacing data more easily, sorting by rank as some prefer to do is accomplished much more easily, and deleting unridden coasters is very easily accomplished. As well as posting the results to the website, I will e-mail a copy of the results (using bcc: for privacy) to all those who took the poll unless they indicate on their ballot that they do not wish to receive the results via e-mail. A LITTLE ABOUT HOW THE BALLOTS WILL BE TABULATED Each pair of coasters is compared against each other based on all the ballots of people who have ridden them both. After it is determined which coaster of each pair was preferred by more mutual riders, all coasters are ranked by the percentage of times they were the winners of such comparisons. Ties are then broken, if possible, by determining which of the tied coasters won their mutual rider comparison. This method avoids the arbitrary point assignments AND the bias towards more ridden coasters that is inherent in total point ranking schemes and to a lesser extent, in average point ranking schemes. After all, voters are trying to rate RIDE QUALITY when they take the time to fill out a ballot, not RIDER QUANTITY. DEADLINE: Ballots will be accepted through February 28th, 2013. Results will be posted soon thereafter. Results from previous years and much more about this annual poll can be viewed at http://BestRollerCoasterPoll.com NOTES: (S) or (SBNO) indicates coasters that did not operate in 2012. Those of you with websites can help 'get out the vote' by posting a link to the poll http://BestRollerCoasterPoll.com on your site. The results become more meaningful with each additional person's ballot that goes into them. -----Inline Attachment Follows----- For those of you updating last year's ballots, be aware that the following lines have been altered and the new lines must be used: Changes since 2010: New categories added: Superman - Ultimate F Six Flags Parks ** Fav Arrow Mine Train Any Park Anywhere ** Fav El Loco Any Park Anywhere ** Fav Eurofighter 320+ Any Park Anywhere ** Fav Mack YoungStar Any Park Anywhere ** Fav Motocoaster Any Park Anywhere ** Fav Schw Shuttle loop Any Park Anywhere ** Fav 'Skyloop' XT 150 Any Park Anywhere ** Fav Vek Jr Boomerang Any Park Anywhere ** Fav Vek Mine Tr. 785m Any Park Anywhere ** Coasters added since 2010 poll: North America: Typhoon LA County Fairgrou CA,n,n,0 Manta SeaWorld San Diego CA,n,n,0 Superman Ultimate Fl.
