News: 2003 Steel Coaster Poll Results

Posted at 5:57 AM EST (1057 GMT)

Dec. 17th, 2003 -- The top three steel roller coaster of 2002 can once again be found at their respective places. Expedition GeForce has grown in popularity and strongly stands at the top of the list.

Edmonton's Mindbender deserves some credit because it is the oldest roller coaster ever to reach the top 10. This Schwarzkopf roller coaster was opened in 1985 and is still popular amongst enthusiasts. The few that have ridden Mindbender prefer it to both Expedition GeForce and Superman Ride of Steel (SFNE).

The top ten steel coasters are:

  1. Expedition GeForce at Holiday-Park
  2. Superman Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England
  3. Millennium Force at Cedar Point
  4. Mindbender at Galaxyland Amusement Park
  5. Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure
  6. Nemesis at Alton Towers
  7. Phantom's Revenge at Kennywood Park
  8. Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point
  9. Superman Ride of Steel at Six Flags Darien Lake
  10. Goliath at Six Flags Holland

The complete list can be seen here.

I'm glad to see Phantom's Revenge getting the respect it deserves. It might be short, but it packs a whale of a punch.

Intamin and B&M are really reigning in the top spots in this poll.

Once again Expedition GeForce takes the top spot. That coaster looks amazing, and I'm not surprised it's there again. What really got me was Top Thrill Dragster's place! I didn't think it would crack the top ten.

Looks like a pretty good list to me, although Nemisis at #6 seems a little high.
