Well, let's get this fucking shit show on the road here. This is going to be crazy.

Welcome to For Your Amusement, a theme park podcast that aims to exhaustively evaluate the world's most popular theme park attractions to determine if they are world class.

I'm Ryan Bergara. I'm Byron Morin.

And for this episode, in the spirit of March Madness, because

it's definitely March, right now, it's absolutely March. Don't look at your calendar. It's definitely

March right now when this episode was uploaded and not April at all. We're going to be doing a bracket

for what is the best ride in America. Now, this is, this, this has been a controversial process because we've

created this bracket and the seating and all that was determined through a very specific

process. And I want to say up top, these first round matchups, we have 32 teams, if you

will. That's 32 rides that can lay claim to the title of Best Ride in America.

And these first round matchups are brutal.

And they feel like we did this deliberately.

And I know, this is just what the theme part gods decided.

This is what the gods have decided.

With that being said, let's get into how we

made this bracket. Byron and I made a list of what we think are the best 32 rides in America in no

particular order. We then determined the seeding by figuring out the all-time average wait time for

each of these 32 rides, and then we seeded them one to 32,

with number one being the highest average wait time, which in this case is battle at the

ministry.

That's the one seed.
