2008 Steel Roller Coaster Poll Results Main Page

Detailed Steel Roller Coaster Poll Results 2008

Below, the 2008 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. Special attention should also be paid to the CMPR column when viewing the results. This shows the number of the 358 coasters included in the official results that each coaster has valid ( > 3 ) mutual rider comparisons against. An asterisk indicates coasters that appeared on fewer than 2 % of ballots. A blank line has been inserted where > (2/#coasters) WinPct gaps exist. The program was run twice. Once excluding "Favorite Wood Coaster" to get the results for the steel coasters so that they would not be affected by it, and once including "Favorite Wood Coaster" so it could be placed amongst the steel coasters.
Mutual-Rider tie-breaker was used this year among those rides within .001 WinPct

Total Number of Ballots = 631

Average Number of Coasters/Categories Ridden = 49.1
