This is a very reliable coaster poll on CoasterFanatics.com.

Notice how high intimidator is on this list. It makes second place! There must be something about this ride that makes it so good and i wanna find out.

I305 happened to be #8.

Im planning on an Intimidator road trip this summer to find out.

... Wow... Didn't expect that.
Boulder Dash was the only good roller coaster.

yeah, 53 votes is nothing compared to the 500+ votes the other 4 in the top 5 have. This is not a proper representation of the theme park community, therefore that poll is not reliable.

^But that's not statistically insignificant, either. The main issue here is that it's from a poll that places MF 5th [lol]

If Intimidator is actually better than The Voyage, I'll eat my own head (though I guess that's true for any ride, so it's not the best metric ever).

We will have to wait a few years before we really can place I305 where it belongs in the polls. In a few years a lot of people will have ridden it and the new-ride-hype will be over too.

Nooooo damn this poll Nemesis is behind Anubis-the Ride! WTF?

And Montezum is apparently better than Renegade. But I'm not packing my bags to go to Brazil yet.

This poll is definitely inaccurate as they have done some weird rankings here. How on earth did Manta score lower than both TTD and Anubis? And the same with Goliath WW.

Damn,this poll is crap,it's manipulated by Bush and Carowind's fans,and they gonna kill us!But to be serious,this polllist looks strange and manipulated.
All RCCAs should be RMC'd. And that event shall be henceforth known as the Rollercaust.

I need to ride El Toro again. I was in a bad mood when I rode it first so that is probably why it didn't make my top 5.

Why did someone bring up the Carowinds version? Did you notice were talking about the KD version?

It's not a real poll. When people add things to their track records they have to rank things 1-10. Those rankings are just everyone's average. Some people don't rate at all and just leave everything at the default 5, which can skew things.

It's changing fast because a lot of people are just now getting to the park and adding it to their list. It's going to do that a lot this summer, at least until a few hundred people have ridden.
