For 2006 Mitch introduced an in-season feature allowing members of the 2005 poll to update their list of top coasters to include the new wooden coasters of 2006.

Not surprisingly The Voyage at Holiday World jumped to the top of the 2006 poll after only operating since May.  Voyage is currently tied for the #1 coaster in the world with Balder at Liseberg in Sweden.  Voyage was built by Gravity Group LLC.

Other notable newcomers faired well.  El Toro, an Intamin pre-fabricated wooden coaster built at Six Flags Great Adventure in New Jersey is currently in a four-way tie for 10th place.  Kentucky Rumbler, a GCII wooden coaster built at Beech Bend in Bowling Green, KY took the 21st spot.

Last year’s 2nd place finisher Thunderhead at Dollywood in Tennessee is currently in a three-way tie for third place.
