Thanks for the heads up.

I've always found that the easiest way to do this poll is to save last years and make some minor changes to it.

I think I still have last years saved. I got a tough choice for first though. Prowler and El Toro are both so good! Gwazi will be good once these new Flyer trains are up and running for the public.

I think it was 6th.  It's current position seems like a good spot to settle into.  There's only one GCI ahead of it.

I just find it odd the less than stellar turnout and how the RDC minions tanked Voyage this year.  Granted I am not a fan of it, but seriously?

I thought it was because the Raven trains that were put on the Voyage made the ride rough. Hopefully they can the new trains up and running in time for the season.

How does a ride like T-Express who had 15 riders if that take the poll and get it up to #2. Same for Eagles Tempress on the Steel. Never understood that whole deal.

But anyway. I dont like this poll one bit this year. Prowler not cracking the top 10? Make matters even worse, The Beast does'nt crack the top 25?!? Not sure how that happened at all. The Beast is a 25 year old classic that still has a kick and still is a fun ride. Never rode Phoenix so cant rag on it but I've seen some POV's. Beast looks like a lot more fun. Also shocked that The Voyage didnt rank so high. We've seen Voyage hit top 5.

Yes, which can be noted by my fuming post pertinent to Renegade and its undeservingly low place in the poll! Actually I stand corrected; Renegade moved up a whole 8 spots. Impressive! Too bad Prowler didn't hold its spot, let alone stay in the top 10. Such a fun little coaster.

Both Renegade and Prowler are amazing GCI coasters, its pointless to argue which one is better.  :occasion14:
