Round One Results:
And our games in this opening round have just finished, so let's take a look at some of the big games:
In the Rivertown division, #5 KI&MV Railroad had a shutout against #12 seeded Old Time Photos 20-0.
The first major upset of the tournament goes to #10 seeded Dipp'n Dots Depot, knocking out #7 seeded Wings Diner 13-7.
Rivertown seems to have had the easiest competition in this first round, as #3 seeded White Water Canyon also had a shutout against #14 seeded Wave Runners 20-0.
The Action Zone bracket seems to be the least chaotic division, with only one upset.
#10 seeded Bubba Gump's Shrimp Shack ended #7 seeded Viking Fury's tournament hopes by a score of 10-9.
Nick Universe by far had the biggest upsets of the tournament, with half of the games resulting in the lower seed winning.
#9 seeded Royal Fountains made a case for being under-ranked, by easily defeating #8 seeded Chick-fil-A 19-1.
In one of the closest matches of the tournament, #12 seeded Emporium knocked out #5 seeded Fudge Shop 11-9.
#13 seeded International Showplace pulled off an even bigger upset, defeating #4 seeded Runaway Reptar 12-8.
The biggest upset of the tournament goes to #14 seeded Floral Clock, ending #3 seeded Fairly Odd Coaster's tournament, with a score of 13-7.
While it did not have the most upsets, Coney Mall had one game as close as it could have been.
#12 seeded Zephyr edged out #5 seeded Shake Rattle and Roll in overtime, winning 11-10. (The match-up ended in a 10-10 tie, with the Coney Mall expert's vote determining the winner.)

All experts have voted, but you can vote until 5 PM today. Updated brackets will be posted some time after that.

Welcome to the Kings Island March Madness Halftime Show, sponsored by KICentral.com!
Let's take a look at the scoreboard for some scores in some of the big match-ups.
Many people expected #4 seeded Racer to advance to the second round, but no one could expect the 12-0 shutout it is enjoying over #13 seeded Skyline. Skyline is usually a big hit in the Cincinnati area, but it seems to be no match for the powerhouse that is Racer. This thing has got the experience and stamina to make it far in this tournament.
Speaking of shutouts, one would expect the #1 seeded attractions to have no problem in the first round. Instead, not a single #1 seed is having a shut-out. That means at least one person has voted against each #1 seed in this round.
With the first round comes the first upsets. A tournament like this is always bound to have some surprising results. Surprisingly, #11 seeded Dipp'n Dots Depot is beating out #6 seeded Wings Diner 10-5. Part of this outcome is due to the Rivertown Expert giving Dippn' Dots the advantage, but even without his three extra votes, an upset would be in the making. Can Wings Diner come back from this 5 point deficit, or will we have our first big upset of the tournament?
Make sure you keep voting! There are still many very close match-ups, and your vote could determine what attraction advances!
-
One person per area who has the knowledge on the area to be called an expert. They know the in's and out's of the area of the park they represent, not just in terms of rides, but other things such as entertainment and games as well. They will be kept secret, as their votes may cause some attractions to advance, even when it did not have the popular vote.
-
Two of the four experts have voted. Anyone can vote for their favorite attractions, just PM me your votes, and they will be counted.
-
Yes, you vote for your favorite of the two attractions in EACH match-up.
-
Early scores show a few upsets in the making. Make sure you get your votes in before Thursday.
-
The official brackets are up. You can vote for them here:
-
Vote in every match-up. There are 16 match-ups in the current round.
Round Four: PM your votes to me. Results will be posted on Sunday night.
(I have been informed that KI announced awhile ago that Paramount Theater was becoming Kings Island Theater. The bracket has been updated to reflect the name change.)
-
I've never heard of any of these bands. I'll wait for Weird Al to come back.
-
So whats the new name then?
The new name is Outer Hanks. This has been confirmed.
Your first post is a "This rumor has been confirmed" post. Congratulations, you've just entered "The Flaming Zone".
-
I just noticed Backlot accidentally got placed in RvT. The brackets will be updated with this change. Final brackets to go up tonight.
-
Ah, was not aware of that. That game will be swapped out with what currently resides in that building.
-
I present to you the River and Nick brackets!
Action and Coney will be posted later today.
-
The Nick/I-Street bracket is done. The Rivertown expert has filled in the rest of that bracket. The full bracket will be posted tomorrow.
-
You can still vote in Nick / Street, you might help an attraction that was cut from the tournament get in.
-
This is the last day to vote your favorite attraction into the tournament. Any unfilled spots will be filled by the expert for that area.
-
Nick/I-Street is the only section with all 16 positions filled.
Coney has 2 slots left
Action Zone/Oktoberfest has 1 slot left
Rivertown has 4 slots left.
Get your votes in and make sure your favorite attraction has a shot at being named the best attraction at KI!
-
Tomorrow is that last day to vote your favorite attractions into the tournament. If not enough attractions are voted from each area, the area expert will vote for the remaining open spots in their section.
-
Corey, check the park maps. IJ/BSC has always been Coney.
-
As Screamscape can never be trusted, we will be going by the 2007 map. Backlot Stunt Coaster is a Coney Mall attraction. Please modify your votes to reflect that.
-
We have enough votes for attractions in Nick/I-Street (16 attractions have been nominated) but we still need more attractions to be entered from the rest of the park. Get your votes in before Sunday!
-
Non-KIC members are also voting in this, but they are still knowledgable KI fans. So if the votes here do not match the rankings exactly, that is why.
-
FOUR attractions from EACH area. Angry, you still have 15 more votes to cast.

Voting hasn't been going on for very long, and already every 1st seeded attraction has votes cast against them. Could this be the round a #1 seed bites the dust? Your votes decide. Make sure you vote before Sunday!
