I have added all of the points for the coasters in all of the 73 American amusement parks that house at least one global top 500 roller coaster. My spreadsheet showing the point values for all 256 American coasters in the top 500 is here: For coasters with two tracks, such as Gemini or Lightning Racer, I only counted points for the best of the two tracks. Basically, crappy coasters add zero points to a park's total points, while excellent coasters are worth way more points than mid-tier ones. This weeds out kiddie coasters and terrible coasters from factoring into a park's collection quality. Any coaster under the top 500 (such as Corkscrew at Cedar Point) is worth zero points. El Toro gets 497 points and so on, all the way down to La Vibora in 499th place, earning only 2 points for its park. The #1 ranking, Steel Vengeance, is worth 500 points. I have taken this data and created a point system for coasters that's directly linked to their ranking on Vote Coasters 2020. Even obscure roller coasters that few people have had the chance to ride yet can do well!" As Vote Coasters makes direct comparisons between individual roller coasters, the poll is not a popularity contest. Our method involves directly comparing the rank of two individual roller coasters across all of the submitted lists. By making it easy for lots of people to contribute their lists, Vote Coasters is able to accumulate a large sample which represents everyone! Once the community has voted, the numbers are crunched. This way each roller coasters position in the final results will be as truthful and accurate as possible. Their algorithm is extremely clever () - "The community is only permitted to rank roller coasters they’ve actually ridden. Many of you personally participated in this survey. If not, take a look: Ģ699 enthusiasts from across the wrold people ranked every roller coaster they've ever ridden, at an average of 43 coaster credits per voter (116256 total credits). Anyway, many of you are aware of the brilliant Vote Coasters project over at Coaster Bot.
