Discovery Channel wooden coaster poll...

We'll know if that's true, Brent, if Phoenix wins depsite Raven having the most votes ;)

LOL so who was the second gunman on the grassy knoll anyway? ;)

Anyway out of that list Timbers, Phoenix, Raven are all in my number one list along with Twister, Cornball, and Legend.

If truth be known Twister is likely my favorite woody but I just can't part with my other number ones.

------------------
It's like a Whirlwind inside of my head!

Brent asks "...so who was the second gunman on the grassy knoll anyway?"

IIRC I think we're still blaming 'chris' for everything, right?

I'm going to be mad if Cornball Express doesn't place higher this year! That is without a doubt the best woody in the size stature. Small but has more airtime than 9 out of 10 of the top other woodies. And the fact that thelayout is classic helps it. I'm sorry I'm a woody fanatic and Cornball rocks.

Yep!

ckid16 - I agree that I hope Cornball Express places higher on Mitch's poll and perhaps gets more exposure on the Discovery shows as well, but I'm not sure how you'd call the layout "classic." Its a custom job, not based on any classic layout I'm familiar with.

Raven is 110 ft. tall?

You guys make it sooooo easy to go off topic, but I won't degress there.

Anyone notice that the video for Rampage is the video for Raven, but not vice versa?

BTW, Phoenix gets my vote, but I haven't been on Timbers yet, and that looks like an airtime monster.

I think shivering timbers shouldnt be on the poll. the beast should havve taken its place and the results would have been diffrent.

practice makes perfect , but nobodys perfect so why the hell practice.

Or the Wildcat at Frontier City!..... Ha...

Lol, comparing MF and Hulk to Ghostrider and Raven. Now that is just wrong, talk about comparing apples and oranges... Almost as wrong as having Goliath ahead of Ghostrider. ;)

Almost as wrong as having SoB on the poll at all. Uggggh, I hope the new restraints help.

Aha. Much as I suspected, there is no defense against ballot stuffing in the DSC ballot. I'm pretty certain I could get a script to ballot stuff that thing into the millions.

Thats so much bull that you have to pick from one of those rides... In my opinion there are much better rides out there... if not better, than at the same level.
