By Robert Niles: Welcome to day four of the 2009 Best Ride in America tournament (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/best-ride-tournament/) on Theme Park Insider.
Yesterday (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/200903/1097/), we had three upsets - with Cedar Point's Magnum XL-200, Busch Gardens Africa's SheiKra and Soarin' Over California from Disney's California Adventure all joining favorite Millennium Force in the second round.
Today features a match-up of two highly-themed outdoor coasters from Walt Disney World: sixth seed Expedition Everest (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/disney's_animal_kingdom/expedition_everest/) from Disney's Animal Kingdom versus Big Thunder Mountain Railroad (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/walt_disney_world's_magic_kingdom/big_thunder_mountain_railroad/) from the Magic Kingdom.
