Coaster101.com Park Mania Play-In Game Results

It’s that time of year, when college basketball fans around the country fill out their National Championship brackets in hopes that their teams wins it all in the NCAA Basketball National Championship. Here at Coaster101, while we love a good bracket pool, we decided to have some fun with the bracket system this year, and bring back our annual bracket event, this year (in an effort not to get a cease and desist letter) called Park Mania!

After the success of last year’s inaugural”Park Madness,” which was won by Idaho’s Silverwood Theme Park, we’ve decided to keep this year’s Park Mania mostly the same, but with a few new additions to keep it interesting. (With their win last year, Silverwood has clinched a #1 Seed in the West.)

We’ve included parks from across North America, divided into four 16-team geographic regions; East, West, Midwest and South. Just like the real tournament, we’ve created a “Play-In” round where 8 parks will have the chance to be voted into the 64-park field.

However, instead of the parks facing off against each other, we’re going to let you, the readers of Coaster101.com decide your pick for your favorite park in North America! (Note: Parks were divided by geography, and loosely ranked on seed lines. We’re just having fun with this. PLEASE do not be offended by the rankings.)
