What is the Most Polarizing Coaster in the World? (Using Data)
Which roller coaster is the most polarizing? The most divisive? It may not be what you think.
I attempt to answer these questions using Captain Coaster. I examine polarization, standard deviation, and even net promoter score (NPS) to look for the most controversial rides. As always, I try to keep things as objective as possible.

The Most Accurate Top 50 Coasters List (2023-24): Captain Coaster and Vote Coasters
Переглядів 5768 місяців тому
It’s time to combine the Captain Coaster poll with the Vote Coasters poll, as has become my tradition, to average out some of their differences and get the most accurate picture possible of the coaster community’s opinions of the best rides in the world. But can you believe I need to dive even deeper into the inner workings of each poll than what I did last year? In this video, we find out that...
Why You Can't Trust Park Battles
Переглядів 361Рік тому
Park battles are fun - just don’t take their conclusions as fact. This video examines some of the problems that occur when trying to compare the roller coaster lineups of two parks ride-by-ride. Captain Coaster rankings are taken from August 2023. Vote Coaster Rankings are from 2022.

The Most Accurate Top 50 Coasters List (2022-23): Captain Coaster and Vote Coasters
Переглядів 701Рік тому
Once again, I am averaging the two “best” roller coaster polls: the Captain Coaster poll, and the Vote Coasters poll. These polls are both large and use the pairwise comparison system, as pioneered by Mitch Hawker. Combining their results should help smooth out some of their extremes and paint an even more accurate picture of what the coaster community truly believes are the world’s 50 best rol...
The Most Accurate Top 50 Coasters List and Why the Golden Tickets Use the Wrong Methods
Переглядів 1012 роки тому
The Golden Ticket Awards provide the most popular list of roller coaster rankings, but many in the community don’t agree with the results. Mitch Hawker developed a way to rank coasters that reduces bias towards more-ridden coasters and produces a more accurate list, and we’ll be looking at two lists that use his pairwise comparison method: Coaster Bot’s Vote Coasters poll, and the Captain Coast...
Which Side of Lightning Racer Wins More Often?
Переглядів 1472 роки тому
This project was undertaken for one of my classes last year, and I wanted to share it. This video examines Lightning Racer at Hersheypark to determine if the Thunder side or Lightning side wins more often, and if this is statistically significant. Note that as of the 2021 season, Lightning Racer is a lot less even than it used to be, due to a new ride system. SPOILERS: A p-value of .05653 means...

    Why did my coaster ranking full on disappear in vote coasters?

    Not exactly sure why some of the footage is low-resolution, I suspect something happened when I downloaded these particular clips (as the clips I had downloaded months before looked just fine.) I'm blaming my old computer; my next video will be on a new one. Thanks for watching and feel free to have a look at my spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NwLxDCHuYrnPi7ghGf5uNZp_4TG-TNHNoPdtN7Jmo6c/edit?usp=sharing

    What I don't understand is why Eejanaika is at #5 and Dinoconda at #44 when they are almost exactly same the ride. Really good video and I love all the information about how the poll works! You need more susbscribbers.

      Yep was wondering as well, but maybe people didn't like it because of bad operations

    • @coasterographer
      @coasterographer 8 місяців тому

      Could be operations, roughness, or just a bit of randomness based on a lower sample size of riders compared to the other 4D coasters.

    Watching this back, the Vote Coasters poll may not actually require 5 comparisons between a pair of coasters for it to be a valid duel/matchup. The “How it works” page never truly says, just saying “a specific number of lists.” They are instead referring to the fact that they need 5 riders for a coaster to become ranked (with exceptions, as Note 1 in the spreadsheet says). Just another thing I need to dive back into for next year!

      Hi! This all reminds me that I need to update the 'How it works' page. Most roller coasters require 10 riders to be ranked. For a 'matchup' to count it also requires 5 separate people. I found this to be a robust balance that led to more realistic results. Certain rides, specifically lesser ridden ones from Asia, follow a different methodology. Data from across four years of Vote Coasters has been combined for these rides to boost rider numbers. Some coasters also undergo a modelling process which uses data for more ridden coasters to estimate how the lesser ridden ride might compete with any coasters. We use this to make the results more fair against lesser ridden rides. I hope that helps!

      @@coasterbot Thanks for your help! I understand that I am probably one of the only people interested in the inner workings of the system like this, so I get why it wouldn't all be listed out on the site. It's good to see the inclusion of more rides in Asia!

    I just think that Iron Gwazi is kinda overhyped and overrated. It definitely didn't deliver hiw i was expecting. But don't worry my American friends it's my number 4. Velocicoaster is the best coaster in the USA, but I've only been in Florida

    I've been to many parks around the country and I have 300 coaster credits and in my opinion, when you start getting into the top tier, top 10-15 parks out there, the main dealbreakers that I've seen come down to circumstance, personal preference, and intangibles that have very little to do with the actual rides themselves but rather, everything else (ambiance, service, operations, atmosphere, food, cleanliness, costs, parking, staffing, guests, etc.)

  • @coasterbot

    Awesome list, I think combining them lead to quite an interesting set of rankings! Vote Coasters and Captain Coasters both have their strengths and weaknesses. Vote Coaster is a snapshot of each year, a look at how rankings evolve over time. Every person opts in to the rankings each year, which in theory means their own rankings are up to date. Captain Coaster pools rankings and updates their ranks every month. People's rankings are never removed and remain forever. This is great for lesser ridden rides, like the coasters in Asia. However, you might find that some data is very old and the roller coaster landscape has changed since then.

    I'm glad DC Rivals is dropping on the lists. It was severely overhyped/ranked in previous years and set a false sense of being elite. Surprisingly i've done 14 of the top 20, but only 26 of the top 50. Just subbed. You should do more videos!

    I say at the start of the video that the polling methods are not publicized. This is true in the sense that we don't know the exact people who vote or what their ballots look like, but it is not true that we don't know the method used. It is most definitely points-based.
