McSalsa Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Well, I've sent mine- though I did not ride any adult steel coasters in 2013 due to the one amusement park visit that year being to Holiday World, and all they have is Howler, which I didn't see on the poll at all and I'm pretty sure that's due to the fact it's a kiddie ride (if it were an option, BTW, I would have ranked it last- it was boring and rougher than Raven & Legend which are wooden coasters!).Anyhow, here's what my ballot looks like: --Generator: Jordan's Ballot Helper 2013 (steel)----Ballot: 4b75033e9fa--LOCATION IN NEXT LINE (Please LEAVE THIS LINE IN BALLOT)~"Indianapolis, IN"NAME IN NEXT LINE (Please LEAVE THIS LINE IN THE BALLOT)~"McSalsa"RANK THE FOLLOWING RIDING SENSATIONS <-LEAVEAbrupt Airtime_____________________________,y,y,1Out of Control Feeling/Directional Changes_,y,y,2Sensation of Speed_________________________,y,y,3Floating Airtime___________________________,y,y,4Lateral Forces_____________________________,y,y,5Positive G's/Loops_________________________,y,y,6COASTER NAME PARK LOC <--Please leave thisFavorite Wood Coaster Any Park Anywhere **,y,n,1 (It's Beast @ Kings Island)Diamondback Kings Island OH,y,n,2Flight of Fear Kings Island OH,y,n,3Vortex Kings Island OH,y,n,4Flight Deck Kings Island OH,y,n,5Backlot Stunt Coaster Cedar Fair Parks **,y,n,6Fav Arrow Mine Train Any Park Anywhere **,y,n,7 (Adventure Express @ Kings Island)Firehawk Kings Island OH,y,n,8Fav Vekoma Invertigo Any Park Anywhere **,y,n,9 (Invertigo @ Kings Island) Yeah...I need to get to Cedar Point or something, and ride more steel coasters at some point.

thekidd33 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Share Posted March 3, 2014 Most of the family/junior coasters were removed from the ballot this year (though I'm not sure that Howler fit into any of the previous categories).
