I was thinking that once a year, the admins should decide on the best coasters of the year from all the simulations like best NL coaster, Disny Coaster's, Hyper Rails, ect. Then those winners get nominated for the best coaster of all of them on WWS. You could also have other awards like best scenery, smoothest, best eviornment, best realistic coaster, creation, fantasy. ect. And the people of WWS getta pick. Or you can set up some other way of selecting nomonees. So good Idea or did I not make sense at all????
--------It would be like the Acadamy Awards, except for roller coasters on WWS.[:)][:)][:)][8D][8D][:D][:D][^][^][:o)][:o)][;)][;)][?][?]

coastercrazy.com / CoasterCrazy.com Platinum awards perhaps? Just a platinum award, not gonna divide into catgories of which track was the best in this and that over all, staff opinion, for the year? Sound Good?

well, we could do it category based, would require more work for me, a lot more. Well, we'll see ok. I do kinda have this set up already, so I'll see what I can do.

I don't think its a very good idea because many people have different opinions on the best ones. If the admins only got to pick, there would probably be many disagreements.

hmmmmm, well i think.....maybe it should be thought about more, and then the admins can eventually poll to see what the people of WWS/CC.com think.

I think there should be a topic that people nominate whatever track on the exchange they think is the best, because a poll wouldn't have enough options.

hmm your right, but once you got all the votes...then you have a 100% ananomys poll that only the admins could see, they present it, and then they put an award infront of the winning coaster then the winner says, "i made the best coaster onwws/cc.com...Damn im good"

shouldn't be too hard to write some code to sort coasters by type and rating...and then take the top one in each category as determined by the rating & download ratio...

that's already a feature in the exchange, first can click for which sim, click go, then click the word rating in the rating column.

mabye have something like, use the top 3 rated coaster's from each category (real, rec, fan) for each simulation. Then make a poll that is open to everyone (only the admins could see the results) and when the deadline is reached, someone (probibally weeweeslap) could post the results.

I really don't know if the top rated coasters are the best, but if it's what you people think is the best, then according to most people, it must be the best way of finding the best coaster.

top rated is not necessarily the best in my opinion.

yes I know that. But it wouldn't be hard to modify it or write new code to take the top five or so from each category (NL corkscrew, NL hyper, SM looper, HR whatever...) and automatically display them in their own page.

The highest rated tracks aren't great tracks IMO, I think nightride's coasters should be in the top 5. So, its basicly just opinion.

This sounds pretty cool. I would like it. It gives people a little bit of motivation and maybe some better coasters will come out of it because instead of trying to build the best coaster of the week, you're trying to make the best coaster of the YEAR! it's really has to stand out to acomplish that.
