Well, you can consider Transformers had about an extra months of voting time probably.

That is true I didnt consider that

Yeah, that has to be the only reason it won. Although I'm sure Transformers is fantastic, Radiator Springs Racers is really made up of what we absolutely love about theme park attractions: real environments, complete immersion, state-of-the-art animatronics, etc.

Surprised not to see IOA near the top of Best Park and sucks that Mythos officially lost its reign.

The owner of TPI said that's a moot point since most rides have their highest rating a week or two after opening.

TF has all of them aside from animatronics....

Mythos hasn't won the past few years.
