r/rollercoasters

Mine is the most basic one ever, Velocicoaster, TT2, Taron, F.L.Y, Steel Vengeance are my top ones, but there are a lot of coasters that I still wanna ride someday

Absolutely stupid fast pacing, great whip in the rolls, and a mind blowing launch inside the mountain. I was hesitant to buy into the hype but this really is a next level product from Premiere.

Despite its unique layout, Drachen Fire's rough and tumble nature unfortunately led to its premature demise. Do you think that it may still be open had better trains been available at the time?

first time going to dorney and it was fun, vibes were great coasters was awesome and the halloween theme was good.

lapped everything 3x earlier but the crowd started to pick up

my favorite ride there has to be between steel force or talon, if Hydra or Iron Menace was 100 ft taller they would take the cake. that vertical drop on Hydra was good.

overall i’d give it a solid 8/10, for anyone else that went saturday how would you rate it

Alright, we made a wooden coaster poll.
Because apparently the world needed one more of these.

The difference is that this one is built around Mitch Hawker-style head-to-head comparisons instead of just throwing everybody’s Top 10 into a bucket and seeing which coaster has the most friends.

Which, no disrespect to the Golden Ticket Awards, is how you end up asking questions like “how did The Beast win something again?”

If you rank Voyage over Thunderhead, that matchup is only compared against ballots from people who have actually ridden both Voyage and Thunderhead.

So if you’ve ridden 14 wooden coasters, your opinion on those 14 actually matters. You do not need to have ridden every wooden coaster built since 1927, own cargo pants with zip-off legs, or personally know somebody at Holiday World.

And for the old schoolers: NO SPREADSHEET EDITING.

You can just use the website like it’s the future.

Rank the coasters you’ve ridden.
We compare everybody’s shared rides against each other.

Then a computer does a bunch of math that is significantly more sophisticated than anything that should be associated with a podcast called Your Favorite Coaster Sucks.

We’ve also spent an embarrassing amount of time teaching the thing that:
“RF2” means Ravine Flyer II
“Thunder + Dollywood” probably means Thunderhead
two coasters can have the same name
parks occasionally rename things for no good reason

The goal is pretty simple: make a worldwide wooden coaster ranking that depends more on actual shared riding experience and less on who has the biggest credit count, who remembers to fill out a ballot every year, or which park handed out the nicest hors d’oeuvres at an awards ceremony.

Go rank your wood.

I'm really proud of this, even though the twist of the track at the top isn't really great, it's still a great start since I'm only 1/3 done, the stall and the launch track are next.
