I will once I make sure I can't go to any more parks. The season doesn't end for me until October 27th, where I will go to Hershey, and may have a trip to Knoebels left in me, but once the deadline comes, I will vote (I have it filled out for now).

Does anybody think it's kind of suspicious that Millennium Force is still winning best steel?

No. The GTAs aren't rigged in the way you think. The tallies are 100% valid when they use their system, but their system is pathetic. They have people voting for their top 10 coasters and they tally the points by the #1 getting 10 and the #10 getting 1 (or something to that effect). The problem with that is EVERYBODY has been to Cedar Point. I'm a culprit myself. So Millennium Force gets into peoples top 10 more often (not mine), therefore getting more points. Another problem is that when MF is not in someones top 10 and they have been on it, it barely effects the voting. The same problem goes with Thunderhead, and that is the only way that coaster could possibly beat Boulder Dash (which is pretty much impossible to do).

Is it weird that there isn't a single inversion in the top 10 list?

I'm trying to square this data against a few opinions I've read on Youtube recently;

"I don't even consider it a proper roller coaster if it doesn't have an inversion in"

Or the classic:

"Coasters without inversions are kiddie rides"
