The 2012 Steel Poll is now open from now until February 28th for everyone to vote on! No matter how many coasters you've been on, YOUR VOTE COUNTS!

Here are the instructions - http://www.ushsho.com/steel_instructions_2012.txt - but people often complain that it is wordy and hard to understand. Here is the ballot if you have voted before - http://www.ushsho.com/steelballot2012.txt.

Here is an easier method if you've never taken the poll before - http://hawker.stationbrakes.com

1) Choose all the coasters you've been on.
2) Mark which coasters you rode in 2012
3) Rank!

At the top of the ballot there are many sub-groupings of similar coasters. A list of each coaster in the groups are listed halfway down the page here - http://www.ushsho.com/steel_instructions_2012.txt

Rank your favorite of those that you've ridden under the grouping. Even if you have ridden multiple of these rides, only rank your single favorite from them. Chances are if you don't see a ride you've been on in the rest of the ballot, its in one of these groupings.

I haven't finished mine yet, but I will be sure to when I am done! Make sure to vote up Intimidator and Afterburn, they could use the love.

Thanks to everyone who voted this year!
