2018 Coaster101 Park Mania: First Round RESULTS

The 64-Park Field is Set!

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 event, this year (in an effort not to get a cease and desist letter) called Park Mania!

We’ve included parks from across North America, divided into four 16-team geographic regions; East, West, Midwest and South.

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.)
