OK, I'm not sure if this kosher for these boards, but this is the "fave attraction" section, so why not? Basically, I've combined my dual obsessions with college hoops and WDW to put together what could be an entertaining game. Basically, I've created the NCAA Tournament of WDW, matching 64 different attractions in a winner-take-all setup to be voted upon by youze guys. The point: to determine the most popualr attraction at WDW--at least on these boards.
OK, how this works: I've selected and seeded 16 attractions from each of the four parks. Please note that all selection and seeding was done by me and is therefore totally arbitrary. As a general rule, I tried to select the most "classic" or popular attractions from each park. I generally tried to avoid using any of the "100 YOM" stuff due to the newness (with some exceptions), and I also tried to avoid using whole "lands" (i.e. Fantasyland), although some "areas" got included. (i.e., the Mexico Pavilion). Also, the various "icons" of the parks were given #1 seeds by default, and generally an "icon" is considered to include all contained attractions, with the exception being the Tree of Life, where I split it off from the "Bug's Life" show, since I feel the two are fairly distinct. If you feel there are any glaring errors in my selections, feel free to say so.
What do you do? Well, basically you vote on every matchup, picking your fave of the two. I'll decide how long rounds go on based upon the response to this. (i.e., if it bombs, it just goes away.)
Anyway, here are the matchups, so let the fun begin!
