Question: The Future of Tournament of Thrills

I just joined these fine forums this year, but one of the things that caught my eye is the Tournament of Thrills 2014. I was wondering why it stopped, since it has been a whole decade since the last ToT and 15 years since the start of ToT. Any information would be appreciated!

I second this, I just love this website and enjoy reading old topics and discussions, I think I'm just a historian at heart haha. Bringing back the tournament would be so cool!

So as the person who started TOT years ago,

I can tell you that it was a pain in the ass to maintain and manage, couple that with the bickering and low participation and I stopped doing it.

It sucked, but in the end it was a lot of work with little to no pay off and people just complaining about nonsense.

That's unfortunate. Either way, I appreciate a response from an official mod, so thank you for your time.

When you say that people were bickering, I assume you're talking about the results?

The bickering was across several things.

1. Was what rides I picked
2. Was how a "more popular" ride was defeated by something else less popular (I think an example of this was X2 getting beaten by Raging Bull or something similar to that) And then when it happened, all people did was cry and whine about it, as if it was personally harming them lol.

Seeing just a few people interested in TOT was convincing enough to bring it back for this year.

I am definitely teasing it more and more and it will probably start in the late Spring or so.

Thank you! I would appreciate it if it would return for just one season, especially with SFGAm finally receiving a new coaster. Hopefully the experience for everybody will be more positive this year. See you in the spring!
