2011 Golden Ticket Awards

[Moved to News and Rumours, seems like a better home now the results are out.]

Results seem to be up now.

Phoenix better than Boulder Dash? It's good, but it's not THAT good. And Voyage is definitely worse than both Boulder Dash and El Toro. :roll:

Oh... now just looked at the steel results...

Golden Ticket is a massive pile of bollocks. Don't even bother looking at the results, they're wrong. So wrong.

Who votes for these? Oh wait, the event was held at Holiday World. Shame they don't have a steel coaster that could've been voted number one too. :roll:
 
Oh god... That top 10 Steel list...

Just complete despair at that... At least Mitch Hawker has more of an idea on that... Which is saying something...

I swear the winners never change either on about 90% of the topics... Boring boring boring...
 
The steel coaster list is just absolute rubbish.
The wooden one is slightly better, but still rubbish.

Thank you.
 
Yeah, these are always a pile of crap.

No Mountain Flyer = People being hit on the head by hard objects when voting. Not in the top 50 at ALL... Just... no...

It's the problem with a simple "who gets the most votes" thing.
 
I will have to admit that the GT's are quite mixed up in some ways. Millennium Force I think is definetly top 10 material, but not really a number ONE coaster. How do we view the rest of the top 10? Im not being able to find the link to download the entire magazine.

edit: never mind lol I found it.
But WTF?!
That top 10 is pretty freaking messed up! Phantoms Revenge at 4?! :S
Kingda Ka at 33, Maverick at 21, I305 at 13, yet MAGNUM is at 10?!?!?!
Thats total bull.
 
I dont care if this is a double post or whatever - but PHOENIX at number 2?!?!
Above El toro?!
thats crap crap crap crap crap.
 
Best Indoor Coaster 2011
Revenge of the Mummy Universal Studios Orlando 31%
Space Mountain Disneyland 15%
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Disney's Hollywood Studios 13%
Mindbender Galaxyland 12%
Space Mountain Magic Kingdom 9%

Since when is a glorified indoor wild mouse better than RnRC and Mindbender.
 
You know how else I now this is crap? Best new water ride, The Falls at Schlitterbahn, opened about two to three weeks ago. Didn't know that's enough time to judge.

Utter ****. All of it. Excluding Giant :p

thats crap crap crap crap crap.

It IS better than El Toro though...

It's just not better than other stuff they say it's better than!
 
This thread comes up every year.. and we get the same results. :p

MITCH HAWKER! I wait for thy.
 
If we're talking about the top 10 woodies in the USA, then their list really isn't too far wrong. Get rid of Hades and do a bit of rearranging and voila!

As for the steel list, well, you just have to read their article stating that Richard Kinzel is a Living Legend to see why this is so wrong and biased.
 
What makes me laugh that Noah's Ark at Blackpool is on that list as 1 of the best walk through attractions, its been closed for a few years now haha =]
