The Sweet Sixteen has come and gone, and for the most part, the higher seeds dominated. The top seeded Space Mountains and Splash Mountain all advanced easily. The Seven Dwarfs Mine Train also advanced handily over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, and Expedition Everest ended the Cinderella run of Spaceship Earth. And in what is an upset in seed only, on the Disneyland side, Toy Story demolished Radiator Springs Racers in the 2-3 matchup. There were only two close matchups and they both occurred in the Matterhorn region. Soarin' continued its miracle run, winning 6-4 over California Screamin'. And Indiana Jones had to scratch and claw its way to victory over Pirates of the Caribbean, winning via tiebreaker, 5-5. That sets up an intriguing Elite Eight.
Breaking down the four matchups, let's start on the Disneyland side. First, we have Space Mountain, which has been absolutely dominant, facing off against Toy Story Midway Mania. This was a matchup on the Disney World side in the last round and Space Mountain advanced easily. I expect the same here. In the Matterhorn region, Soarin' continues its cinderella run against Indiana Jones. At this point, I think the Soarin' supporters might take it into the Final Four. Either way, I think this will be a close match.
On the Disney World side, we have two 1-2 matchups dominated by Magic Kingdom rides. Space Mountain goes head to head against Seven Dwarf Mine Train. This will be an interesting matchup. It's a classic roller coaster versus the newest roller coaster. Space Mountain Disney World isn't as good as its Disneyland counterpart, but it still has a good chance to make it to the Final Four. Finally, in the Splash Mountain region, the top seed faces off against Expedition Everest. Both of these rides are great and I could see either one winning. It will depend on whether people prefer a watery drop or an icy thrill.
