Wooden Roller Coaster Poll Results
The Wooden Roller Coaster Poll Results for 2008 are in, and there's a new #1 wooden roller coaster according to what is regarded as the most balanced enthusiast poll anywhere.
T Express opened at Everland in South Korea in March of this year, and has quickly shot to the coveted #1 spot in the poll.

I just dont see how a few people can skyrocket an obscure foreign coaster to a top spot when others have hundreds of riders and don't get as good ratings.
I know how you feel, but It happens that the group of people who favored T Express that much happen to have ridden TONS of coasters... and I do agree with this style of poll that that fact should count for a lot. Hence, out of all the coasters they've been on, if one is that great, it should really count for something in the overall poll.
It may not be perfect, but it's better that a lot of other polls that are much, much more biased.
I voted for the first time this year and it will be the last time.
I can't believe I spent so much time organizing the wood and the steel coasters.
Almost two hours!
And to have 14 riders launch a foreign coaster in the #1 spot?
What a joke.
