From what I understand it goes on literally forever with a formula determining how many more votes each level-up asks of you to do to pass it.
I finished level 3 and decided to come back another day. It's really fun, I feel like it's actually gonna work as a pretty decent measure of ride popularity, even if its unfair sometimes to pit Cosmic Rewind against the Main Street Vehicles (Rewind stands no chance against the goats hehehe (I'm joking, I'm joking!)).

Oh I thought there was an end goal here. I guess I’m wasting my time then.

Nice to see the majority of people agree with me on the speedway.

COSMIC REWIND HAS LEFT THE TOP 10! I REPEAT, COSMIC REWIND HAS LEFT THE TOP 10! 
I know I'm just a salty hater lol, I'm sure I'm being absolutely insufferable, but this is a big day for me.

Why do you think that? The results look almost exactly like what I'd expect. Some rides could swap up or down a few spots, but I don't see anything that leaps out as way off -- it's not like Cosmic Rewind is ranked in the 30s or Frozen Ever After in the top 10.

If you think I've been somehow messing with the polls, that's not the case. I started my voting yesterday and got up to level 3, and then did more voting and completed a fresh run where I did just a level 1 question set today.
I don't have the power to shift the results of 21,000+ votes by hundreds of voters to my favour, nor do I care enough to waste my precious time messing up a poll on a fansite who's results don't mean much to the outside world.
Also if you follow this thread's record of poll results over a number of days you'll see Cosmic Rewind has been dropping consistently in the rankings over multiple days, and I only joined this thread yesterday.

It seems like I only saw Cosmic Rewind four times in the poll, while I saw rides such as Alien Swirling Saucers numerous times.
Yeah, there is no "end" to the voting, people can vote as much as they want and the results are always available
Hard to say if people are actually messing with it or not. There are a few surprises to me, but nothing crazy.
My surprises so far are.
8. Spaceship earth (seems high to me)
11: GOTG (seems low to me)
18: COP (seems high to me)
28: Remy (seems low to me)
32: Frozen (seems low to me)
we are up to 24,886 votes now though so I don't think people are messing with it, I just have a different opinion than others on those
I'm not exactly sure how it chooses the matchups... but it should be pretty random.
In total is has asked about GOTG 897 times and Alien 919 times.
Glad people are enjoying this... I think in a few weeks I am going to make a similar one called "Which ride should be the higher ticket" while adding the following for options:
- If the other option is an E, pick that one, else pick this one
- If the other option is an E or D, pick that one, else pick this one
- If the other option is an E, D, or C pick that one, else pick this one
- If the other option is an E, D, C, or B pick that one, else pick this one

Just seemed suspicious to me that someone was monitoring and getting excited that a ride, one of the best on property, had suddenly began freefalling out of the top 10. And then I bring attention to it, they get very defensive and then it stopped dropping and has started rising back up again. Soooo...
So doing some math... each ride comes up randomly so GOTG has about a 4% chance to come up every time it generates a new question.
Right now GOTG is ranked 10th with 693 wins and 252 losses. (693 wins/ 945 total chances=73.33% win rate)
To drop GOTG under 11th place SM (Wins: 736 Losses: 289 or 736 wins/1025=71.8% win rate). It would need to loose the next 21 votes straight for that to happen (693 wins/966=71.7% win rate).
In order to get GOTG to come up 21 times at a 4% chance would average about 525 votes made by that one person.
Assuming 1 vote a second ~9 straight mins of voting to drop it one spot.

That's the thing -- whether something is one of the best on property is highly subjective. Cosmic Rewind probably wouldn't make my top 15 attractions at WDW (I don't think it's bad, but it's not what it could/should have been, and I find coasters kind of boring), but Carousel of Progress absolutely would. I don't expect to see CoP in the top 15 here, though (I'm surprised it's at 18!).

If you think I'm lying you can look back at the thread's history and see someone else tracking the results days before I continued the tradition, and that I didn't even send my first message in this thread until a few days ago. I'm new to this thread but Cosmic Rewind's fall down the polls has been going on for roughly a week.
I think 1 vote a second is unrealistic in reality, it would take a longer time to actually shift the poll results, and remember, if I was doing this I would've been doing it to get the ride down as many spots as possible. It would be a lot of effort, for again, no actual benefit because these poll results don't mean anything to the outside world. This is also assuming that other voters wouldn't be voting strongly in favour of Cosmic Rewind, that would counter-act any results rigging. The reason Cosmic Rewind stopped dropping may be because people want to vote for it more than usual, as they worry that there's a bad actor trying to force it down the rankings.
I appreciate based on my bio and joking there may be fears that I'm a troll, we have a lot of them over here, but I can promise you that I'm not based on everything I've said above. I'm not trying to be defensive here, it's that I've accidentally threatened the democratic nature of this poll that's just supposed to be for fun and I was enjoying it until fears started to come around that it's results had been tainted.
FYI this whole thread and voting only started last Wednesday (5 days ago).
After 1000 Votes, it was 7th (Wednesday)
After 5200 Votes, it was 6th (Thursday)
After 13668 Votes, it was 5th (Friday)
After 19,223 Votes, it was 9th (Sunday and your first post)
Currently 26, 062 Votes, it is now 10th.

I didn't actually realise this was the case, I checked back and see that I misread.
The best I can do is raise this unedited comment from Sunday in the ams when I was staying up late. At that time I had only done one set of voting up to level 3, which isn't enough to drop Rewind from 5th to 9th by myself.
Actually time to record the current record:
42. Liberty Square Riverboat
43. Dumbo the Flying Elephant
44. Astro Orbiter
45. Prince Charming Regal Carrousel
46. Alien Swirling Saucers
47.Mad Tea Party
48.The Barnstormer
49.Main Street Vehicles
50.The Magic Carpets of Aladdin
51.Tomorrowland Speedway
- The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror
- Avatar Flight of Passage
- Expedition Everest - Legend of the Forbidden Mountain
- Haunted Mansion
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
- Kilimanjaro Safaris
- Pirates of the Caribbean
- Spaceship Earth
- Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance
- Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind

But nobody watches CNN.
Well it's been 1 week since I opened the poll. Voting as slowed down significantly so I think I am going to stop posting updates.
After 27,724 votes and 152 unique user sessions here are your final ride rankings and score (Score is the % of random matchups the ride won.
Maybe I'll post this again next March as a March Madness thing!
