I rode Voyage and it's a great ride but I really like El Toro more. Sure it's not as long as Voyage but it was a Scarier experience. Voyage had tons of speed till the end but El Toro had great speed as well plus you are flying out your seat so much and for so long. Both should be on this list but I'd would have thought Six Flags only great Woody would have been higher on this list. But all coasters mentioned are great coasters.

Congrats to Holiday World for the Voyage and also to Beech Bend for making the list with their first major coaster.

This is an interesting read, but maybe the real story should be when voting begans for the voting for this year. I mean it is great that the Voyage is number one in his mid season poll, but is it that much of a surprise? You would think there was a load of towels on the way now.

Voyage looks like a great coaster, but El Toro it seems to me should be higher, El Toro is as of now my favorite coaster...

I enjoy Balder more, but mainly because of the reridability factor. Voyage is more out of control which is also good. Course if Megafobia is still on that poll I am beginning to question its validity.

Yeah, but if you count other things besides the coaster itself, Voyage actually opened on time, typically runs to capacity, actually uses the terrain, is at one of the friendliest parks in the world, which, by the way, hasn't cut back operating hours or entertainment mid-season.
All that aside, I haven't ridden either of them, but Voyage looks better. It just seems to have a lot more tricks up its sleeve than ET.

Voyage has overtaken the #1 spot!!! It's got it all to itself right now.

I like Voyage too rough, but it's still good, not too sure about being #1 though but still good.
