So Fury won best new ride 2015, and came 4th in best steel coaster.

The top 5 Best New ride winners were(in order): Fury, Wicked Cyclone, Twisted Colossus, Cu Chulainn, and Thunderbird

And Europa Park beat Cedar Point again for Best Park. I wonder how long Europa will keep the title now.

Here's the full list: http://goldenticketawards.com/2015-park-and-ride-winners/
 
You know, I've decided.... If I ever get kids, I won't take them to Efteling anymore. I'll take them to Kings Island instead...
 
Wow Im surprised/impressed that Valhalla beat all those US water rides, Idk if it does every year though?

Who decides what wins what and how much influence does Robb and TPR have?

I think Valhalla has won twice before, I know last year it cam second.

I noticed Pleasure Beach came into the lists quite a lot - so I'm quite happy!
 
I haven't been to many, but is there honestly any sea-side park better than Gröna Lund as an overall package?
 
^Not sure that they consider it a seaside park since it doesn't have a beach.

ACE held an event at Morey's this year. That's fine by me. Better than Santa Cruz getting it for the umpteenth time.
Same goes for Blackpool - ACE had a UK/Ireland trip, but Valhalla and Cu Chulainn deserve the honors.
Boulder Dash #1 woodie for 2nd year in a row. :--D
 
^ Gröna Lund was nominated but ended as fourth, with quite a lot of a distance compared to the top 3. Gröna Lund IS a sea-side park though :wink: It's right next to the sea.
 
Shut up, Gröna Lund is one of the best parks in Europe <3 The atmosphere <3 Stockholm <3 Twister <3 Blå Tåget <3

Talk to me when you finally drop **** Balder from your top 10 wood.
 
I wouldn't say Gröna Lund is ****, but I wouldn't rank it anywhere near the top 5 parks in Europe. Seaside, sure it's up there but it's not a standout winner.

I know it's a seaside park but many ACE members, who make up the majority of voters, might not consider it as one since it's not on a beach (which is what I meant) and therefore not have voted for it.
 
Here is the run down of Top 10's for steel and wood. And no, that isn't a typo on Intimidator Carowinds. :P

I refuse to get annoyed about this shower of s**t anymore.
 
I thought you couldn't win Grand Theft Auto!

But seriously, why do they even bother if it's going to be the same old coasters every year.
 
^It's the GTAs. MF always wins, and there is next to no love for anything outside the US.
