Was f\u00fcr Hollywood der Oscar, ist der Golden Ticket Award f\u00fcr die Freizeitpark Industrie. Beide basieren auf der Meinung einer nationalen und internationalen Jury, rufen j\u00e4hrlich zahlreiche Kritiker auf den Plan und neigen zu einer starken USA Lastigkeit. F\u00fcr Freizeitpark und Achterbahn Fans, die nicht jedes Jahr alle US Neuheiten abklappern, stellen die Golden Ticket Awards jedoch eine gute Orientierungshilfe f\u00fcr die Planung der n\u00e4chsten gr\u00f6\u00dferen USA Tour dar. Parks die in einer der 25 Kategorien nominiert werden und gewinnen, haben schon etwas besonderes zu bieten.<\/p>\n

Cedar Point ist laut den Golden Ticket Awards der beste Freizeitpark 2011<\/p><\/div>\n

Die vierzehnte Verleihung der Golden Ticket Awards fand am vergangenen Wochenende im US Freizeitpark Holiday World statt, welcher auch den ersten Platz in der Kategorie “Freundlichster Freizeitpark 2011” abr\u00e4umte. Zus\u00e4tzlich zu der regul\u00e4ren Preisverleihung, ehrte der Veranstalter Amusement Today auch den Cedar Fair CEO Richard L. (Dick) Kinzel als Teil der “Legends Series”. Diesen Ehrenpreis erhalten nur Personen, die die Freizeitpark Industrie nachhaltig und f\u00fcr immer positiv ver\u00e4ndert haben. Das Cedar Point im gleichem Atemzug als bester Freizeitpark 2011 gek\u00fcrt wurde, mag nat\u00fcrlich reiner Zufall sein.<\/p>\n

\nWie jedes Jahr wurde im Rahmen der Golden Ticket Awards auch eine Top 10 der besten Holz- und Stahlachterbahnen ver\u00f6ffentlicht. Aber gerade diese Auflistung sollte mit einer guten Portion Skepsis betrachtet werden, da durch das verwendete Punktesystem nicht zwangsl\u00e4ufig die besten, sondern eher die von der “weit gereisten” Jury am meisten gefahrenen Bahnen auf die obersten Pl\u00e4tze bef\u00f6rdert werden.<\/p>\n
