Oh boy, some really tough decisions coming up!
From Melanie Howe on March 11, 2012 at 11:51 AM
Wow, this is gonna be fun! I foresee an epic battle between Haunted Mansion and Pirates to see which one goes up against FJ for the big prize. I'm not placing any bets on either of those votes :-)
From James Rao on March 11, 2012 at 12:35 PM
The Voyage is the only non-Disney/Universal/SeaWorld attraction left. The rest of the world has their rally cry: "Go Holiday World!"
From Dominick D on March 11, 2012 at 1:13 PM
Oh crap. TSM is gonna get mauled by FJ.
From Giovanny Cruz on March 11, 2012 at 2:23 PM
These are some really good mach ups I mean spider man vs tot,hanted mansion vs spash mountain, Hulk vs manta and toy story vs harry potter
I'm voting till the end for spider man and Toy story but if they get head to head I'm going for spider man
From Dominick D on March 11, 2012 at 2:35 PM
I agree Gio. Spiderman in HD is just flat out amazing and better than TSM.
From Caroline Davis on March 11, 2012 at 4:22 PM
Manta is the only thing I know I will definitely vote for. Everything else is pretty tough.
From robert morris on March 11, 2012 at 4:25 PM
Interesting to 1/4 of the attractions left are from IOA. Though I can't think how PF's long can hold on much longer.

As great as PotC is Popeye and Bluto should give that ride a good run.

As I do see Manta sending Hulk back for some more gamma rays

But it will be interesting to see how many voters take into account Spidey's upgrades albeit most will view it online in a collosual battle with ToT

I'd like to thank everyone for their participation as we got through what were, let's face it, the preliminaries.

This is where the real fun starts, with some truly awesome matchups over the next three weeks. You've set this up well with your preliminary votes. Let's enjoy the tournament going forward.

It looks like this round has more balanced match-ups. This is going to be good.
From Sylvain Comeau on March 12, 2012 at 11:49 PM
Some brutally difficult choices coming up...
From 24.235.246.37 on March 13, 2012 at 9:45 AM
Am I the only one who finds it wierd that ToT is not favored in any comments ? I still think that it is a good mix of thrill and theme ? Plus it has been around for a while, and it (in my opinion) still is better then all of the new rides out now !
