I went with Round About here. I like it just a bit more than Corkscrew.
BTW, I clicked on this thread before the poll was even made, lol.

I went with Corkscrew, for some reason I like it better even though both are impressive in terms of technology and trackwork.

Went with Corkscrew because Round About's wheel took forever to stop swinging.

Went with Round About because the innovative contraptions were a lot cleaner looking in the way that they blended in with the ride. The ride was also a lot smoother in my opinion.

Automatic or nothing

^ It seems like just the opposite to me... RA's mechanisms completely surrounded the lift while Corkscrew's mechanisms were mostly hidden under the station. Also I think Corkscrew had much better trackwork.
I'm going with Corkscrew because...
1. Better trackwork on Corkscrew
2. Realistic supports on Corkscrew
3. Round About kinda lost it's overall resemblance to the real ride because the lift was square, not circular like a ferris wheel on the real ride. Corkscrew however really did look like a mini version of the real thing.
4. Cooler station on Corkscrew
5. Long trains look cooler than one-car trains
6. Corkscrew's video was better IMO. (I know this isn't part of the model, but still I think it makes a difference...)

I went with round about, because I am extremely impressed that you did it.
Automation is my specialty
If only I had more space/pieces/time.

Round About's lift was great, but besides that I don't think it was all that special.
Corkscrew had amazing trackwork, and was also more of a pioneer with the auto-stuff.
