Airtime Offline
I went with what coasters I love the most which are those with lapbars, hypers and then anything that offers an out of control feeling or airtime. To narrow it down even more I decided to have a list of coasters that would detract from the park that I wouldn't be a fan of riding, for example Takabisha (Gerts potentially rough and awful restraints) and Freischütz (awful restraints) etc. Then to narrow that list down even more, any park with a coaster that I wouldn't be fussed about riding but does not detract from the park would be removed to create my final list, for example Divertical and Ninja. Here's my votes:

I'm giving it to:
#1 - Maverix
#2 - Wanted
#3 - wheres_walto
The top two I feel pretty strongly about.
Maverix drafted very well throughout, not really whiffing on any round imo and landing himself arguably the strongest top four in terms of "chemistry". Maverick (blitz coaster), Leviathan (Giga), Ravine Flyer II (wood terrain/twister) and Black Mamba (inverted) each fill different roles, in different styles. The remainder of the rounds saw him collect more rides that fit in well with those are were each arguably podium finishers for their respective rounds.
Wanted was the only guy who didn't go ALL THE WOOD who got two (three!) wooden coasters that I'd actually want to ride in one park. Incredibly they're all very complementary as well: Voyage (terrain/out & back - large), Balder (compact tripple out & back/plug and play - large), and Giant Dipper (Twister, classic - medium). Though I thought he took Griffon too early, it's still a fine choice... Flight Deck was a bit weak of an inverted coaster choice even though I am a fan of those old school B&Ms (it appears to have the shortest layout EVAH). Diamondback and Xcellerator were both steals though, and Vampire was a cool, if a bit strange, pick.
wheres_walto - Impossibly good depth, even if it took taking two hyper coasters (of different style and make, jeez) to get there. His strong early and mid round picks set the stage for the super-savvy late rounders to pull him past close competition from nin, Austin55, and Pacific Coaster.

you know, when i first signed up for the draft, i was considering picking a different wacky worm for every round. i wonder if it would have beaten my current park -
Louis! Offline
^funny you should say that, my original idea was to choose a different Batman clone each time -

I was considering going with terrible coasters. Goudurix woulda been first. Probably would have thrown in that stupid dualing mouse at Animal Kingdom.
