Avatar Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 I just saw on WTHR Channel 13 here in Indianapolis that Holiday World at Santa Clause, Indiana will be hosting the ninth annual Golden Ticket Awards tonight, and said they will be putting the results up on their web sit wthr.com later tonight as they become available. Good luck to all the Amusement/Theme parks especially Kings Island on the Best Kids Area for a seasonal park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopThrill Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Can't wait to hear, hope Millennium Force gets best steel, and Voyage or ThunderHead grabs best wooden!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomTheater Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 http://www.amusementtoday.com/2006gta82706.html The results. CP wins best park, KI wins best kids area and best concert venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKIVortex Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 What I can't figure out, I'm glad we won 2 awards this year, but what is so special about Timberwolf? In my opinion its starting to look a little run down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Sweet, Beast was still in the top 10 and it beat Legend! I was shocked by the top 10 wood coaster results, voyage didnt beat thunderhead and El Toro didnt even make the top 10! Boomerang was ranked as #5 in best waterpark landscaping and 3 of the 5 best kids areas were Paramount parks! (PKI, PKD, PC) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB_TOM Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I think those people who do the wooden coaster polls are on crack anyway. I never believe em. You might want to look around other theme parks for their concert venues. Timberwolf is one of the larger ones. Plus, with limited concerts, you can spend more to make those one or two concerts a little better in some areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Does riverbend not count as a park concert venue? It's listed on Coney's map and information for it can be found at Coney guest relations booths. It's far superior to timberwolf, timberwolf is honestly a joke.

CoastersRZ Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Riverbend is not actually part of Coney Island. While it does sit on land that once was part of Coney, it is not directly owned by the park. That being said, Coney does provide parking services and concession services to Riverbend. Ie Coney makes some money off of the concerts, and inherently, the rides sales may see some additional sales in the evening hours from people walking through the park a couple hours before a concert starts. When they added Firelite Express as part of the rides line up at Coney in 2004, it was always fun to drive that on the paths back behind Dodgems and adjacent to Riverbend and the picnic groves when there was a concert about to begin. So to answer your question, I would imagine that Riverbend is not considered part of Coney for the reasons I explained above. (Riverbend even sells Coca-Cola, while Coney is Pepsi (hence the Pepsi Python)). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Hmmmm...if the park changes sponsors, will it become the Coca-Cola Crack-up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Uh, no. Actually, Pepsi is probably the only reason that Coney got the Python in the first place. Whenever the local Pepsi bottling Co. has their picnic at Coney, they get a half hours ERT on it before the park opens to the public. Besides, who can go wrong with Pepsi when unlimited Pepsi products are only $.50 in the employee cafe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
