This is my first poll along with the Steel version of this poll, and I'm curious to see where the numbers stand. :D

Feel free to post your opinions below as to why you choose them.

Also don't feel like you have to comment, If you wish to remain anonymous, that is perfectly fine.

Even though I'm totally against the Idea that RMC coasters are considered Wooden, I decided to add them to this poll instead of the steel.

Stay civilized as well. :lol:

I thought that Goliath (SFGAm) was the steel I-box track at first before I realized it was topper track. Outlaw Run was, by far, the best wooden coaster I have been on. I'll be the first to admit I haven't been on all that many great wooden coasters, but Outlaw Run is the only one that I'd say parallels a top-grade steel coaster.

^ While being lazy and not looking on RCDB I believe there are 2 Vekoma woodies around. This one, and the other one is also in a Scandinavian park. For modern woodies, I have to have a toss up for The Gravity Group and GCI, gravity group for intensity and GCI for beauty. Although I think all the old coasters from the 20s-80s are better. It sounds weird but I find Thunderhawk @ Dorney really enjoyable and Phoenix @ Knoebles blows everything in the Pa-NJ area, even El Toro imo
What are these for?

Limited experience - couple of CCI's (Megaphobia & Stampedia) and a few 1920-40's (Grand National & Big Dipper at Blackpool) and Colossus at SFMM.

I thought Megaphobia & Grand National are really fun coasters but can't really judge if they're the best when I've only ridden like. 2 types of wooden rides :D

CCI. You just can't beat Boulder Dash's airtime, near misses with tress, speed, length and one of the world's only triple ups (So much airtime on that part <3) and from what I've heard Megaphobia is amazing as well.

Have you ever seen The Voyage? holds the record for the most airtime on a woody, it's a terrain coaster, it's the second longest wooden coaster on the planet, Voyage hits 67 mph as opposed to BD's 60, and has a kick ass triple down. So I think The Voyage beats Boulder Dash :lol:

And Boulder Dash has a kick ass quadruple up... It also has crazy laterals and a barrage of airtime right into the brake run that cannot be beat.
1.Boulder Dash | 2.Legend(HW) | 3.Beast | 4.Ravine Flyer II | 5.Intimdator 305 | 6.Phoenix | 7.Twisted Timbers | 8.Wicked Cyclone | 9.Thunderhead | 10.Storm Chaser
