The ULTIMATE Walt Disney World Attraction

[DZNYGUY]

So as I was reflecting on the NCAA tournament lately, I had what I think is a fun idea...

I believe that if I were to post a question on this discussion board on what people thought was/is the greatest Walt Disney World attraction ever I might get 100 different responses. Obviously people will be partial to 'the first ride they ever went on' or perhaps 'the ride that made them fall in love with Disney.' So why not put it to the test?

I was thinking that I would make a 64-attraction bracket that every week we would vote on to ultimately come out with what is agreed upon as the greatest attraction!

I know that opinions will differ greatly on this topic, but if you campaign hard enough you just may get your 'sleeper' of a favorite into the Final Four!

Let me know what you all think, this thread could be a fun one that goes for a while and perhaps be a medium of discussion for rides past and present.

I think we kinda did something similar a few months back with all of the parks and also resorts...a moderator could probably find the posts faster. The polls went on for months

Sounds like fun. Even if it has been done. I love polls and games.

yeah, I agree...many of things we discuss here and poll on tend to run in cycles and repeat themselves every so often...but it doesn't mean they aren't still fun ...and anyway since we have new folks coming in to the sight with frequency (I mean I'm constantly seeing folks with only single or double digit posts) , even if its old news to some of us, its likely brand new material for someone else. so if you want to build a bracket and run a poll, have at it and the folks who want to "play" will join in.

[DZNYGUY]

Great! It sounds like there is enough interest here.

I have a bracket made up (I guess I just have that kind of time) but I don't know how to get it accross to y'all to look at. Any ideas?

Also, what do you think would be the most efficient way for voting on which one wins...it looks like you can only add a poll on new threads...help!

[Imagineer1981]

oh I am not saying don't do it...it would be cool to see who wins this time !!!

[Giggy]

Sounds a good idea, new people are always joining these forums so opinions are always going to change.

The best place to launch this might be on the Games & Trivia forum. A good time to start could be when a similar game to this (based on the movies) has just finished so that it has everyone's full attention. Though I'm sure they could also run side by side if you want to start it quickly.

Fun idea...while it's not my fav ride, Splash Mountain would probably be my ultimate attraction. Flawless entertainment. I still like both HM & Pirates better though.

I think anything w/ good vs evil would be awesome

[playdead88]

i'm in - i would totally play

Great! Let's do it! Does anyone have and advice on how I can get the bracket up for everyone to see? Also, what would be the best way to do the voting?

I am sure we could just do a continuous thread (no poll absolutely necessary) but I think it would help a lot if everyone could see the bracket I have made!...

[Daddy Mouse]

I'd like to do this. I find the polls interesting plus I get to see what other people post.

[dmosher]

The best way would be to draw it up yourself, and post a link in the very first post to an image of the bracket you have drawn. Then post a poll for each bracket and go from there. You would however have to keep updating the picture, if that's OK, then go for it.

I love this idea! I am already debating several attractions! Do you go old school or new technology?? Philharmagic would be up there!

[DawsonAR]

Sounds like so much fun!!!

[wdwfansince75]

I know you said that you have drawn up the brackets....but may I suggest....How about including some of the past attractions (Horizons, World of Motion, 20,000 leagues, ect), as 16th seeds in each bracket? Might even be interesting to see some of the old favorites put up against their replacements....(Pooh vs Toad....is there any doubt?)....but it's your brackets.....I am sure I will do better with the April Angst than I did with March Madness!

[ransam]

how do we decide? is this the attracion that best represents Disney? our own personal favorite? the attraction that us, as Disney fanatics would want others to see?
the attraction we'd never be able to miss? etc...
each could have different answers.

[DZNYGUY]

Okay friends, here is what I got. I uploaded the bracket as it is now to the web and you can view it here:

http://www.611warranty.com/manuals/WDW%20Bracket.pdf

Currently it is a .pdf and is an outside link. That is the only way I can think of to get the bracket accross to all of you.

So...

What do you all think? Before we get it started I will open the floor for opinions on things to be changed, rides to be added or deleted, etc. Basically I ranked all of the attractions in my head and then sorted them as 1-16 seeds. If you don't agree with my seeding it probably won't matter because the best attraction should win anyway!

If this all looks good, then on Monday I will announce the first four matchups for all of us to vote on and we can get started.

Thanks and enjoy!

Looks great! You obviously put a lot of thought and work into it. I probably would have ranked Splash Mt. a top seed, but it really doesn't matter. It will all play out well. Kudos!
