2018 Wood Coaster Poll

It's that time again!
The 2nd annual ElloCoaster Wood Coaster Poll is up and running.
It's a Mitch Hawker-style poll, so the results won't be skewed toward the US like most polls.
You can see results of last year's inaugural poll and pick up a 2018 ballot on ElloCoaster.
http://www.ellocoaster.com/wood-coaster-poll/

Also: I'd like to include TS on the "Friends of ElloCoaster" page (sites that have mentioned or promoted the poll). Would that be OK?
 
I'm going to bump this thread because, as has become tradition, I intend to run a TST mini poll of anyone willing to share their ballots on here. I know there's quite a few well travelled people on here, so why not show your support to the AT/EP woodies?

To get the ball rolling, I've been working on my list over the past couple of evenings and now have something I'm mostly happy with. I might tweak it slightly before I submit though:

...or not so much support for the AT woody in my case, Wodan's great though.
 
I'll get working on mine shortly, not looking forward to attempting to differentiate between the whole host of absolute crap is the US!

John, you've been very kind on Blue Streak at Conneaut Lake! :p
 
Not very well travelled, but a couple of new creds plus the loss of Wild Mouse this year. Here's my brief list.

1, Tonnerre de Zeus-Parc Asterix-FRANC
2, Megafobia-Oakwood-WALES

9, Blue Flyer-Blackpool-ENGLD
 
So I've gone from having 25 wooden coasters to rank last year to having 61 this year! I'm fairly happy with the top of my list but it was very hard to rank those in the middle and further down.

I only rode Wodan and Great Yarmouth's Roller Coaster in the past 12 months. Wicker Man and a return to Blackpool were both planned but neither happened.
 
Here is mine. As usual the top 30 and bottom 30 are pretty accurate but the middle ones could easily change if I did it again

Just a reminder that this is a thing, not long left to submit if you haven't already.

Last year nearly 10% of the entries were from TS, so we can influence this!
