Round one of our Rides and Attractions Throw Down is in the books!
After an exciting first round including some shocking upsets, 32 attractions have emerged victorious — so far, at least! Did your favorite attraction fight their way through to round two?? Take a look!
All Disney World attractions hold a special place in our hearts for different reasons — but there’s only room for one winner in this throw down! Last night, we asked our Instagram followers to make their picks for the last matchups of round one. And some of these battles were truly neck-and-neck!
In a standoff between two Hollywood Studios shows, our readers advanced Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage past Muppet Vision 3D!
But that wasn’t the end of the Hollywood Studios “show” downs! Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular just edged out the Frozen Sing-Along!
Now the next matchup might have been the toughest choice of the first round — two fan-favorite attractions entered the ring, but only one emerged. Flight of Passage managed to topple the iconic Twilight Zone Tower of Terror!
From one Animal Kingdom victor to another, Expedition Everest raced past Festival of the Lion King!
And it seems our readers don’t mind getting soaked on a water ride — Kali River Rapids took the win over Na’vi River Journey!
Over in DinoLand USA, Primeval Whirl inched past TriceraTop Spin!
And the consistent crowd-pleaser Kilimanjaro Safaris took down Finding Nemo: The Musical!
Last but not least, DINOSAUR roared past It’s Tough To Be A Bug!
Whew! And with that, round one is complete — here’s a look at which rides advanced from all of the initial matchups!
There’s still plenty of competition left to go! We’re kicking off round two TONIGHT, so be sure to head over to our Instagram to cast your votes!
