Steel Poll - This Year's Ride Experiences 2008
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 21.7 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 2008 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.
Average Number of Steel Coasters/Categories Ridden in 2008 = 21.7
