The initial round of voting has closed. In accordance with Jeff’s Official Polling Rules for Cynics and Skeptics, all options receiving 15% or more were advanced.
Sadly, all but two options were eliminated! The good news is, that should make for a quick and easy final round. I was tempted to circumvent my poll rules since Soarin’ was just 1% away from advancing, but in the interest of maintaining election integrity and faith in our balloting process, I will stick to the rules as originally established.

For the record, here are the results of the initial round:
Jeff's Official Polling Rules for Cynics and Skeptics
In case of a tournament, the following protocols will be followed:
All voters are eligible to participate regardless of their familiarity with the various options
Voters may cast or change their vote as desired until the poll is closed (generally timed)
The first option to receive over 50% in any round upon closing of the poll is deemed the winner
The percentage displayed by the forum software will be deemed the official result, regardless of the absolute number of votes cast (i.e., rounding differences may be decisive)
If no option receives over 50%, additional rounds will be held
All options receiving 15% or more will advance to the next round
If all options have received 15% or more, the option receiving the lowest % of the vote will be eliminated
In the case of a tie, the option receiving the higher % in the previous round will advance
If there is still a tie after following the above rules, the option listed first by the forum software in the results will advance
All results are final – no recounts, re-dos, challenges, or complaints will be accepted; however, discussion and debate is welcome.
Look it up on Spotify or something, and you’ll recognize it when you hear it.
For me, I literally put that particular track on repeat and just listen to it over and over again. The same is not true of Grimm Grinning Ghosts nor Splash Mountain.
While I love Splash as a ride, and the soundtrack when I ride it is fine…when I’m listening to Disney park music, I’ll admit, my finger has a tendency to hit the “Next track” button when Splash is playing. I just don’t find it great to listen to. I don’t skip Grimm Grinning Ghosts…and actually tend to quote and sing along.
Lol I was literally just thinking this would have solved the problem! Soarin over the other two all day long. I totally wasted my vote on Country Bears!
The elimination tournament I use gives basically the same result as a ranked choice. The difference is that I let you choose your ranking as you go instead of ranking every option up front. Also I eliminate multiple options at a time instead of just one. The reason I use 15% as a cutoff is because while theoretically possible, it’s unlikely an option that got less than 15% would be able to accumulate 50% in a later round.
The people have spoken and Grimm Grinning Ghosts has taken the day! Thanks everyone for participating. Music is such a fundamental part of the Disney experience for me - I’m sure I’ll revisit this topic with another poll at some point.
