Mitch Hawker's Internet Coaster Poll has been going on yearly since 1994, and is considered to be the most effective roller coaster poll out there. The system used makes it so that coasters don't win based on popularity, but based on head to head matchups with other coasters. It's fairly complicated, but you can read about it yourself on the <a href='http://www.geocities.com/wcoasterpoll/' target='_blank'>Website</a>. I encourage all of you to vote in both polls, and post your completed ballots here so we can see how the Carowinds coasters rank on your lists.
I haven't done my Steel ballot yet, but here is my completed wood one:
For those unfamiliar with the poll, the very last number on each line indicates the rank. The first y/n means ridden (which is obviously y always), and the second y/n means ridden this year.
