Mitch Hawker coaster polls 2013-14

Confession - I completely forgot about this, but finally here are the TST results, though by now it's largely out of date as half the forum has been on loads more rides since voting.

Note that "change" only takes into account rides appearing in both our 2012 and 2013 results - iSpeed was top last time, but of the 4 rides above it only fav woodie was also included in the 2012 TST results, so the relative drop is only 1 place.

Zyklons are way better than Furious Backache. :mad:

Thanks again to John for doing this - I think the most interesting result is how high TST rate TTD (#8) compared to full Mitch Hawker (#28)!
 
I find The Smilers position in this interesting, primarily as it has been suggested that the UK votes (and in particular our votes) would have impacted its position in the poll. The fact it came 15th behind a number of foreign parks is interesting. Though i don't expect it to maintain that standard since Towers decided to replace its bearings with Sticklebricks!
 
If you ignore all the rides that don't appear in our results then TTD would be 15th in the official results, which isn't so far removed from our ranking. The most obvious difference between our results and the full poll is probably Baco - we gave it a lower ranking than it received the full poll, despite there only being half as many rides in our results
 
Great stuff, John!

My personal top 3 is identical to the one above!
