This is a community vote, not our ranking

Park Madness measures popularity — how visitors feel, decided head-to-head. Our ranking page measure something different: thrills, family appeal, value and queue length, scored from data. A park can win this bracket and sit mid-table in the index. Both are true; they answer different questions.

How the bracket was seeded

A seasonal, community-voted knockout bracket. The 16 parks are seeded strictly by their position in the Amusement Park Ranker index — #1 faces #16, #2 faces #15, and so on — so the bracket is derived from the ranking, not hand-picked. This is a popularity poll and is separate from the data-driven index. Nothing is hand-picked, and the top two seeds sit in opposite halves so they can only meet in the final.

One vote per browser, per matchup. We deter casual repeat-voting, but this is a fun poll — treat the percentages as a mood reading, not a measurement.

Tiebreak: if a matchup ends level (or draws no votes at all), the better seed advances — the park placed higher in our index.
