It Started with 68. Now we’re down to 2.
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’re down to two parks. From the left side of the bracket, Cedar Point, and from the right side of the bracket, Hersheypark.
Just like the College Basketball tournament, 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.)
We have updated our voting process slightly this year and are closely monitoring spikes in votes. We will not be reporting exact results on social media during this year’s Park Mania, and voting percentages will be hidden this year. While this might feel less “transparent,” there were concerns with fraudulent votes last year. We reserve the right to remove any potentially fraudulent votes from the results, which kind of defeats the purpose of this being fun. Bottom Line: Don’t cheat and ruin this for your favorite park and everyone else legitimately voting for them!
Each voting round will take place over several days, and the schedule will be as follows. We’ll create a post each day with new polls for voting. All voting will be done right here on Coaster101.com, and will end at 8:00pm Eastern Time on the specified date.

I have been to both Hershey is more family friendly
CEDAR POINT FOR SURE! Been a long time Hershey Season Pass holder. Went to Cedar Point last year and we are way more impressed with their rides.
Who put cedar and Kings in the same bracket, not even a call.
Live in Lancaster, Pa. Been to Hershey several times and am a roller coaster lover. We took a trip to Cedar Point just for the roller coast experience. Hands down, Cedar Point wins for Roller Coaster experience!
