    Okay everyone, here we go!

    We will start with the upper-left hand corner of the bracket (I wasn't able to think of clever names for the bracket regions, any ideas?!). Between now and the end of the day this coming Wednesday (4/15) let's vote on the following matchups:

    1. Tower of Terror Vs. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea
    2. Star Tours Vs. Snow White's Scary Adventures
    3. The Mad Tea Party Vs. Astro Orbiter
    4. Test Track Vs. Liberty Square Riverboat

    Just to recap, there may be a bit of confusion on how we all come to the conclusion on the ultimate attraction. This is designed to be an open forum of discussion on why rides are special to you so do not be afraid to make the upset vote, that is what makes it fun. Vote with your heart and have fun!

    The link for the bracket is here: http://www.611warranty.com/manuals/WDW%20Bracket.pdf

    Maybe you could name the bracket regions after Disney characters? Like the Mickey Region, etc? Just a thought. I thought about naming after park areas but that's confusing because they're not regionally-based match-ups. Also, it might be better to post each bracket region as a new poll? Easier to keep track of voting, perhaps?

    Do we vote here? If so, my votes are for:
    ToT, ST, Tea Cups (by whatever name you choose), and TT....
    Gee....went with the higher seeds!

    20,000 was a great ride in its day, and may get some upset votes....but the special effects were minimal....Consider it 1st gen Imagineering....ToT is at least 4th gen....
    AO was a great way to cap our day in the park, back when the lines really were short after the parade.....great views of the fireworks, if the timing was right.....but the lines today never seem to shorten. I have strong memories of rides with my kids, years ago....but more recently, have had lots of rides with GK's...so it gets the nod today.

    I like your idea for naming the brackets after characters. I will update it soon!

    As for voting, making a poll seems to be pretty complicated, so yes let's vote inside the thread just like we have started. Every couple of days we will open a section of the bracket and I think it would be best if in your post you just typed:

    1.
    2.
    3.
    4.

    Etc. and I will tally the votes!

    Even though this is my bracket, I think I should still be allowed to vote! So here are my picks for the first four matchups:

    1. Tower of Terror
    2. Star Tours
    3. Mad Tea Party
    4. Test Track

    I think that the mad tea party is one that could really go far in this competition. Like Dumbo, this is one of those rides that you just HAVE to do even if there are others you like more!

    Wow this should be fun. Great idea DZNYGUY. My picks are

    1. Tower of Terror
    2. Star Tours
    3. The Mad Tea Party
    4. Test Track

    I like Splash to make the final 4, but we'll see when we get there.

    3. Mad Tea Party
    4. Liberty Square Riverboat (Test Track just never lived up to it's hype for me)

    Great Idea, What Fun!

    With one day left in the voting it looks like we have one matchup that is pretty close!

    The forum seems to be split on Star Tours Vs. Snow White. Make sure you get your votes in, the winner of this matchup will be going against either Tower of Terror or 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea!

    I would have to say:
    1) Tower of terror
    2) Snow White
    3) Astro Orbiter
    4) Test Track

    I know, some unpopular choices, but what can i say i am a sucker for some strange stuff!

    After a compelling first round the results have been finalized! It appears that the seeds have been set properly as after the end of the voting Star Tours and Snow White were in a dead heat! Ultimately, to finalize who won the tie breaker I decided that the most fair way to decide would be to make the voting of the INTERCOT member with the most posts over the history of the forum's vote be the deciding factor. Because of this, Star Tours eeked through to the next round.

    For the next round the attractions open for voting are as follows:

    1. TTA (People Mover) Vs. The Hall of Presidents
    2. Toy Story Mania! Vs. It's Tough to be a Bug
    3. Lights! Motors! Action! Vs. The Country Bear Jamboree
    4. Spaceship Earth (Classic) Vs. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride

    I am excited to see how this will all play out! Like the NCAA tournament this should get more heated as time goes on! For example, if the #1 and #2 seeds move on to the Elite 8 in the 'Goofy' region we will be debating between Expedition Everest and Space Mountain! Should be fun! Voting for the matchups above will end at 8:00a CST Monday morning. Have a magical day!
