Hey, gang...my friend Phil out in PA and I have a bet...I bet him $100 than MILLIE can be the number one coaster in the discover.com top 10 coaster poll, so I am bringing out the big guns...if you can help me out that would be great...go over to discover.com, and there should be a link there...if you have any free time and want to vote like 500 times that would be great...
thanks.
mikey :)
Stuffing the ballot box, eh?

A bad day at CP is better than a good day at work.
Why yes...yes I am...I think my name is Jeb Bush ;)

LMAO olympic!!
Your friend out in PA must REALLY be stuffing the ballot box... Steel Force already has 13000 votes compared to MF's 6000.

Steuks!!
Wait a minute.....why does MF have to be #1. If it ain't broke don't fix it, in other words we gotta keep the big red machine Magnum at #1!

I thought Magnum was #2 in their poll, and T-Bolt was #1 (the old special). T-bolt is out of commission so that makes Magnum #1.
BTW, I already voted for both MF and Magnum since there both #1 in my book . I casted an extra vote for my dog.
Kind of interesting... they mis-spell MF "Millenium Force" even though the "Millennium Force" logo is right next to it. They also say that MF is the WORLD'S tallest and fastest coaster, which of course really belongs to SD2K. Magnum needs a lot more votes, Dan!!!!

Steuks!!
I voted a few times and that was it, winners never cheat and cheaters never win. I am not going to go "stuff" the box so to speak.

Oh, yea..that's true...now I feel bad...but I'm sure I will get over it :)
UPDATE: As of 10:45..

mikey:)
Uh oh, now that I have been to the point,, I am going to have to vote! ARG! I shall vote according to each of my family members. that would be two votes for raptor two for magnum and I have to give mf one too just for the sheer excellence of it all...even though raptor was my fav.
sounds fair!
The thing that I can't figure out is how Steel Force has all those votes. I've talked to alot of coaster people in my day and not one of them have ever mentioned anything about that ride as one of their favs. Those folks in PA must really like it or someone's stuffing the box. I think its time for a road trip!!!
Trust me Matt if there is any reason to make a road trip then its for Talon and not SF. BTW i am still looking for that hat!

Now why would I vote for a coaster that I feel is not as good as Magnum! It's just an overgrown Jumbojet!!!!

Sorry friend, but it looks like you're going to be out a hundred bucks... I've voted a bunch of times and did what I could.
I still wish you luck though.

Looks like a couple of programs are voting there. Raven is at 29%, MF is 28%, and the totals are climbing like crazy -- something like 100 votes/minute on Raven.

Hey guys, I'm back!
I voted for MF a few times, and every time I did, when it loaded the results, MF was up one more, and Raven was up 6 or 7 more.

Here are the current standings (as of 8:20 AM EST):
Millenium Force 150711 38%

Wow! I didn't think it was worth setting up a server that constantly votes for MF just for $100. ;)
