ANALYSIS

Analysis may be forthcoming if/when I feel up to it, which I don't right now. The only thing I will note immediately is that the four top seeds in each bracket have all survived...until now. The 4-seeded Great Escape Comet lost to the 13-seeded Kennywood Jack Rabbit (by two votes) and the 4-seeded Megafobia lost to the 8-seeded Thundercoaster (also by two votes).
