Golden Ticket Awards

Hopefully this will not shock you too much but cedar point is the best amusement park in the world again. Millennium Force is #1 for the 2nd year in a row with magnum and TTD in the top ten. News story at Pointpagecannotbedisplayed.net sorry I didn't put in a link I need to configure my mozilla to do so.

Allow me to help you out there. You can find the results at: [url]http://www.amusementtoday.com/2005gta82705.html[/url]

And before anyone asks, there was other parks that got Golden Tickets besides Cedar Point.

i'm dissapointed that DarKastle didn't even make it into the best new rides of 2005 or even the best dark rides. it should have beat IJST for best new ride.

it's honestly too bad that PC didn't take the Best Kid's Area, what with the excellent job that PP did w/ the Nick Central revamp this year. Carowinds never does get the recognition it deserves, but there's always next year... PKI shouldn't of gotten it again....... at least they did give us the flying scooters...those Phantom Flyers rock1!!!!

Ew. How suspicious is it that one of the contacts for that Golden Ticket Awards release is Janice Witherow, a former Cedar Fair park representative? Coincedence?

Wow Thunderhead is #1 this year. That's great because I 100% agree.

I also thing Carowinds should of gotten best kids area. It's the largest in the world I mean come on is Amusement Today an Equal Employment Oppurtunity? ;)

Yea, Magnum should not be there. Also, did TTD beat KK just because it was the original? I can understand that but I just was wondering why that was there but KK was not and they are so similar. Not a fanboy question, just a question.

/\ No, Magnum [i]should[/i] be there. I think it's one of the best steel coasters I've ever ridden, even topping Millennium Force in my books. So it's all a matter of opinion.

As for Kingda Ka, the reason it's not in there is because 2005 was its inaugaral season and the fact that it was closed for a good amount of time due to an incident involving damaged ride parts after a freak accident on a dry test run. It has [u]nothing[/u] to do with Top Thrill Dragster being the first of the two. Come the same time next year, I most gauranteed you that Kingda Ka will at least take its place in front of whatever place Dragster stands in the polls next year.

^ I have heard from many coaster enthusieasts that they like TTD better than KK due to the massive shaking on launch and the brake run being badly placed on the suppossed bunnyhill. ( I haven't ridden it and this is just what I've heard)

Ditto on the Thunderhead comment. Definitely deserves #1 spot in my book. Glad it got it! Woo-hoo!!!

As for Magnum, I tend to think it's the nostalgia of the whole thing. {Thinking...} Does that even make sense? I know what I mean, just not expressing well tonight.
