The first round is complete! The last region of voting in the first round didn't feature any major surprises or upsets. Star Tours won a close match against Pirates of the Caribbean, but that was the only real surprise.
And now we move on to Round 2! We start the voting in the Disneyland regions, which have some very intriguing matchups. In the Space Mountain region, the top seed faces Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. These are two of my favorites so this is a tough choice for me. But I don't see Space Mountain going out this early. The 4-5 matchup features Big Thunder Mountain versus Star Tours. Both rides are great and it will be interesting to see who prevails. Will the power of the dynamite chewing goat win out over the power of the Force? And in two battles of new versus old we have Radiator Springs Racers against Haunted Mansion and Toy Story against the Jungle Cruise. I feel like nostalgia will be a very powerful factor in these matchups. Although, the two newer rides are really popular and a ton of fun.
The Matterhorn region features the top seed against Soarin'. Soarin' is a fun ride but I don't see it getting by the Matterhorn. Another heavyweight 4-5 matchup features California Screamin' versus Splash Mountain. This is actually a battle of the two fastest rides in their respective parks. That's right, the drop on Splash Mountain is the fastest ride in Disneyland. We shall see if it's fast enough to get by Screamin'. And in two more classics versus modern matchups, Indiana Jones faces off against It's a Small World and Tower of Terror meets Pirates of the Caribbean. I believe Small World faces an uphill battle because of the negative feelings people have towards the song, but it really is a great ride. It will be interesting to see if Pirates can pull the upset against Tower of Terror. I think it has a chance.
