With SFNE's Superman taking top honers again in the steel, T Express at Everland, not only took Toro's steepest drop record, it also took top honers in the wood category.

I find these more accurate than the Golden Ticket Awards, since they seem kind of biased.

Thanks for posting this Medieval.

I didn't vote this year, so I will complain. 

I'm happy Raven is high (#14.) Legend ranks #35, and both delivered great rides at HWN.
Evel Knievel debuted at #15!
Ozark Wildcat, closed at #16.
Lightning Racer is listed once at #30 and again at #36. (ranked too high too) 
Viper @ SFGAm is #36! That's awesome.
Twister is a low #45.
Hellcat at #59.
Roar at SFA is down at 82, below Screaming Eagle at SFSTl and Hoosier Hurricane. (L O L)
Grizzly @ KD and Boss @SFStl are 91 and 92.
Cyclone @ SFNE is 107
(the more it feels like a roller coaster, the lower one ranks.)
Leap the Dips is at 115! (No respect for the elderly!!)
RT is at 163; 13 from the bottom. Blame the park, I guess? It ran better than it had in years.
The Grizzily comes in at the bottom of the gravy boat.

Grizzly being last, that's the one in California Tom. I haven't been on it, but I've been told by many that it's easily the most boring Woodie ever.

Maybe if I voted I'd have room to complain about some of this, but I didn't so I'll keep my lips shut.

^ Somebody has to always go upidy about these things.

Looks like the results were skewed by the small group of TPR peeps that went to Korea.

Grizzly in NoCal is awfully boring.

[Millennium Force 44]

^hahah I would say so

[AV Matt]

according to some I have a "weird" taste

Nah, just bad taste.

[coastersue]

OK, Hydra: The Bore is #118 and Voodoo is #165?  Are you freakin' kidding me?

[GADVwow]

California's Great America's Grizzly is so bad, the park has in the past resorted to marketing it as "bumpy."  And that's the truth.  And even that isn't true...it's smooth...and forceless.  Totally.  Ramp after ramp after ramp.
