 Note the RIDERS column of the new rides, 5 would be enough to be included 
in the November poll.  Obviously, the greater the number of RIDERS the more  
meaningful the placement.  These results will be updated throughout 2006 as 
new ballot additions are received.       

   Also note that the ranking of all roller coasters except the 'new for 2006' are based 
on rides that the voters took before this year.

Notes: Unlike in the results of the November poll, manual reordering to 
correct placements of roller coasters that have lower win percentages but 
fewer blemishes (Losses+Ties/2) against top rides has not necessarily been done.
