Holiday World picks up several new Golden Ticket Awards

SANTA CLAUS, IND.—– For the fifth year in a row, Holiday World’s Voyage roller coaster is named the #1 Wooden Coaster on the Planet in the annual Golden Ticket Awards ceremony.

During the event, the park’s Wildebeest water coaster was named the world’s #1 Water Park Ride for the second year in a row.

“With so many amazing rides around the world, it’s an incredible honor to have our Voyage and Wildebeest named the very best,” says Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari’s president, Dan Koch. “We hosted this year’s event and enjoyed our time with park and industry folks from 19 states and five countries.”

For the twelfth consecutive year, Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari were named the #1 Cleanest Park. The parks also received the designation of being the #1 Friendliest Park for the thirteenth time.

“For these awards, we humbly thank our wonderful Hosts and Hostesses,” says Koch. “It was a hot summer and they all worked together to keep smiling and keep cleaning.”

During the 90-minute ceremony, the audience of 350 honored the memory of the park’s early developer, Bill Koch, who passed away 10 years ago today at the age of 86.  

The Golden Ticket Awards are determined by surveys submitted by well-traveled park enthusiasts from around the world.
