Both perfect coasters, but I have chosen for Corkscrew here. Loved the automatic station gates.

Ion did have a cooler layout even though Corkscrew was a recreation. Plus Corkscrew had Tubes, but they both shook a bit. Ion had a cooler station, but Corkscrew had Station Gates and Auto-ness.

Corckscrew, taking it to a whole new level and being a great inspiration to start Project Phase!

This vote is a close call so far!

Corkscrew started a revolution of automation...
Just throwing that out there.

Automation is my specialty
 

If only I had more space/pieces/time.

^^I don't think it is appropriate for the admins to comment about the unpublished results of ongoing votes. This seems to happen in a lot of the polls on this site. Just sayin....

Comet Recreation still underway.

I see why they would however, if it is a close poll, they want more votes, but I really don't need to know the results yet.

Saying that it's a close poll will encourage more people to vote.

Corkscrew, because it paved the way for complex automation. Before that, I never thought it was possible with just Knex.

It inspired me to try automation sometime.

The fact is that if they tell us that the votes are close, so almost equal, why would it be a problem? Would any of the contestants have any advantage with this?

Well, have to go with Corkscrew, simply because it inspired me to start to do some automation too. And of course it was a fantastic recreation :)
