The Golden Tickets lost credibility several years ago. I really question if votes are really counted. All the parks get the same awards every year. It's almost a given that CP gets best park and KI gets best kids area, and Schlitterbahn is best water park, although that's probably true. The only variances I see and have seen in the last 5 years is best new rides. Those are obviously different. I have to question quite a few of the awards. The only one that really bothers me a lot is Knoebels getting best food. That absolutely is NOT true! They don't even have a sit down table service restaurant! I can't stand their pizza, it's almost as bad as CiCis! Best food definitely belongs to Dollywood. They have the tastiest food of any park I've been to. They need to think these things over again. Same parks shouldnt be getting same awards every year, just because they always have.

Nope, this is not believable as it is not even on screamscape yet!

And, grudgingly, the New Texas Giant got Best New Ride. Why grudgingly, you might ask? Six Flags doesn't buy many ads from Mr. Gary Slade, proprietor of Amusement Today. Meanwhile, Cedar Point got Best Amusement Park in the World. 14th straight year.... Golden Tickets have almost the credibilty and importance of Motor Trend's Car of the Year award. Almost.....

Decisions of that type are NOT made by individual parks in the Cedar Fair chain. The company's leaders have made quite clear during conference calls that decisions about capital expenditures are made in Sandusky, Ohio, not in Mason, Doswell, Allentown, etc. The mere fact it is stated that "Kings Island" is considering this discredits the source, in my opinion.
