Certain Golden Ticket Awards get three-year
format
Each year AT places a handful of categories
on a three-year rotating format. Some categories
last seen in 2002 will re-emerge next year on
the 2005 Golden Ticket Awards.
This year three never-before-seen categories
grace our awards, also on a rotational basis.
First up is Best Indoor Roller Coaster, a new
twist for coaster fans to acknowledge those
rides placed within darkened and themed interiors
to add to the coaster experience. Taking top
honors is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
at Walt Disney World. Also in Orlando is the
second place pick, the long-loved Space Mountain
at the Magic Kingdom. Completing the top three
is the themed spinning mouse coaster, Exterminator
at Kennywood.
That touch of nostalgia of reaching for the
brass ring keeps the Grand Carousel at Knoebels
well perched at the top of the list for Best
Carousel. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Six
Flags Over Georgia receive votes to take second
and third place for their beautiful acquisitions.
Perhaps the most difficult category for our
panel to vote on is Best Indoor Waterpark. For
2004, World Waterpark in West Edmonton Mall
splashes in first. Sandusky’s Great Wolf
Lodge places second, and coming in third is
Alton Tower’s resort hotel Splash Landings.
