The most accurate and fair steel coaster poll in the world has just released its 2006 top steel coaster results. Sorry Golden Tickets, but Magnum didn't even finish in the top 50! Yeah..... that poll isn't biased.

23 Dueling Dragons-Ice Islands of Adventu FL 150 299 27 3
24 XCelerator Knott's Berry Farm CA 82 293 26 4 0
25 Goliath La Ronde Parc Amus QC 8 107 9 3 0
My #1 finished 24th and my #2 finished 10th which I can totally understand. Goliath really is a better overall coaster than Xcelerator, I just LOVE that launch.
I also find it very interesting, that out of the top 25, only 2 are not Intamin or B&M. There really is those two companies, and then everyone else.
