By Robert Niles: Welcome to the third day of the second round in the 2009 Best Ride in America tournament (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/best-ride-tournament/) on Theme Park Insider.
Yesterday (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/200903/1117/), in the most heated voting of the tournament, Universal Studios Florida's Men in Black Alien Attack eliminated Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure. In another tight battle, Soarin' Over California from Disney's California Adventure held off SheiKra from Busch Gardens Africa. Cedar Point's Millennium Force and Expedition Everest from Disney's Animal Kingdom also advanced.
Today, top seed Twilight Zone Tower of Terror (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/disney's_hollywood_studios/twilight_zone_tower_of_terror/) from Disney's Hollywood Studios tries to take another step toward defending its title, against Cedar Point's Maverick (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/cedar_point/maverick/). [Update: That poll's down for a bit while we deal with some obvious vote-stuffing issues.] [Update 2: It's back up now. See comments below, or this post (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/200903/1121/).]
While we welcome voters from other websites, we ask you to take a look at the comments below before casting your votes. Thoughtful votes help make this a better tournament.

The last remaining Cedar Fair coasters, not from Cedar Point, square off as Kings Island's The Beast (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/kings_island/the_beast/) takes on Knott's Berry Farm's Xcelerator (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/knott's_berry_farm/xcelerator/).

Next up, it's an all-Universal Orlando battle, with Revenge of the Mummy (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/universal_studios_florida/revenge_of_the_mummy/) going against Dueling Dragons – Ice (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/universal's_islands_of_adventure/dueling_dragons_-_ice/).

And we wrap up the day with what promises to be another heated battle, this time between beloved Disney movie franchises. It's Disneyland's Pirates of the Caribbean (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/disneyland/pirates_of_the_caribbean/) versus Hollywood Studios' Toy Story Midway Mania (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/disney's_hollywood_studios/toy_story_midway_mania/).
