Finally, we are down to four parks remaining in what some (there’s at least one or two of you out there) call “The most important bracket in March.”
This year, we’ve brought back our annual bracket event called Park Mania! (cleverly named in an effort not to get a cease and desist letter!) with a few twists.
Just like the “real” bracket, we’ve created a 64-park bracket with some “play-in” games to make the final field. While we have crammed in a few extra parks for the vote-in region (to include more parks overall), the process is still largely the same. It’s important to note, when creating the brackets, there are no rankings and no geographic regions. With the exception of the “vote-in” rounds, the parks were randomly selected for their match-ups. This year, just in case a park decides to go on a “run,” that’s how we’ve named the divisions this year.
Instead of the parks facing off against each other on the hardwood, we’re going to let you, the readers of Coaster101.com, decide your pick for your favorite park in North America!
We have updated our voting process slightly 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. 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 approximately 8:00pm Eastern time on the specified date.
