The SFGAm World Golden Tickets

A Off-Topic forum to discuss things that aren't related to the Amusement Park Industry.
Postby vprlvr456 on October 16th, 2009, 8:38 am
looking over an old forum, I'd heard this idea and decided to give it a try. Everyone make your nominations for 5 best wood, 5 best steel, 5 best coasters, and so forth for all the golden ticket catagories. deadline is August 31, 2010 (to get in new awesome credits!). Happy contanbulating! (for me at least)

These are only my opinion.

Top 5 Steel Roller Coasters:

1) Deja Vu
2) La Vibora
3) Invertigo
4) Mr. Freeze
5) Batman The Ride (Six Flags Over Georgia because it's still BLACK)

Top 5 Wood Roller Coasters
1) Screamin' Eagle
2) Georgia Cyclone
3) Great American Scream Machine (SFOG)
4) Wild One
5) Thunderhawk (Dorney Park)

Best Amusement Park
Six Flags Over Texas (because it says only amusement park - It's doesn't combination of amusement park + waterpark.)

Best Waterpark
Noah's Ark

Best Children's Park
Magic Kingdom (WDW)

Best Kids Area
Magic Kingdom (WDW - Fantasyland)

Friendliest Staff
WDW

Cleanest Park
Clean I guess means no chipped paint, broken wood, no stuff on walls, and not just garbage on walkways. It's definitely not going to SFGAm. It's not going to WDW either for me because if you look at the Big Thunder, just the engine is dirty alone. This is really hard because I guess I kind of neglect the finer details. I'm not always looking at fences because they are below where I stand. I rather look at a roller coaster than see if the paint is on the fence or not. The only reason why I check out fences at SFGAm now is because they proclaim that they are the cleanest park in the world which is a complete joke. I want to see, are they really clean (no chipped paint, no rusting, no broken fences, and so on)? I guess I give it to Hurricane Harbor (IL) because it's newer, and there aren't many fences they can not, not paint.

If I was looking at fences and stuff more at SFOG, SFOT, SFA, and so on when I went there I would be able to tell more if these parks were cleaner or not. One place though had gum around the Batman fan which should be deducted for that park, but now I forgot which one it was.

Best Halloween Event (I've been to)
This is truly unfair to any other park because I've only been to Kiddieland, SFGAm for Halloween event. I choose SFGAm. I'm not going to make my way out to SFStL, or SFOG just because they have a Halloween event. On top of it, these events are crowded because the park is open less days - 3 times a week, you get more dark girls/guys coming to the park (not against more dark girls), it's the end of the season, different stuff at the park than regular year, and lastly it's something to do for Halloween.

Best Landscaping
SFGAm - but do I really care??

Best Water Park Ride
Magic Water - Water Coaster ride

Best Dark Ride
Dinosaur (Animal Kingdom)

Best Carousel
Kiddieland (even though it's gone now)

Best Indoor Roller Coaster
Space Mountain (before they are refurbishing it - WDW)
