Coaster Poll Round 2 Group G

[Martin]

The last two groups are now open! After these two polls close there will be a few weeks off for Christmas and the finals will commence in the new year. Happy voting!

Wildfire, Kolmarden


Hyperion, Energylandia


Olympia Looping, various


iSpeed, Mirabilandia

This is tough. I'm going to immediately rule out Olympia Looping, it is good but not at the same level as the rest of these.

I've not ridden any of the other coasters in this group, so I am going to base my decision on similar coasters I have ridden. So iSpeed gets my votes on the bases that Maverick is superb and Taron is very good. Then my other vote goes to Wildfire, it does not look the strongest of RMCs but it looks great nonetheless. Hyperion just misses out but it really was very close.

Wildfire & Hyperion for me. Ispeed just isn't my style of ride as much as the other two.

Looping and Wildfire for me in this group

Hyperion stands out as the most disappointing amongst the three I've ridden. Yes OL may be somewhat overrated; it certainly isn't the second coming of Christ. However its intensity gives it a leg up over Hyperion and I also wasn't disappointed when I first rode it. With that said, I think I'm inevitably going to enjoy iSpeed when I get the opportunity to ride it and it looks the better coaster. Wildfire easily has the best views of any coaster I've been on, is beautifully smooth and that hang time is just delicious. Wildfire and iSpeed for me.

 

[Benzin]

Gonna go with the two I've ridden, Olympia is pretty fab, and iSpeed is pretty much a smaller variant of Maverick (including the dire restraints)...

No idea how I'd rate the other two...

 

[Mattmash]

I've gone for Hyperion and iSpeed, it was a tough choice though. Olympia is great but just misses out and I found Wildfire one of the weakest RMCs that I've done, although there is no denying that the setting and views are pretty special.

 

[John]

Tough group here, all great rides. I really like all of them but iSpeed is my favourite of the 4. I think OL is slightly weaker than the other 2 so it's between Wildfire and Hyperion.

Wildfire isn't the best RMC new build out there, but that's hardly an insult. Likewise Hyperion doesn't quite match up to the likes of Skyrush but is still excellent. I'd be happy to see either progress but I've gone for Hyperion.

 

[Matt N]

My two votes have gone to Wildfire and Hyperion, as while I've ridden neither, I've heard very good things about both!

I wonder what effect ridership is having in this poll in general, but this group in particular
