Worldwide Orlando has been awarded โnew amusement-industry awards, scoring big for its newโ behemoth baby Epic Universe โคand water theme park Volcano Bay.
This yearโs Golden Ticket Awards, a prestigious annual tradition in the theme โฃpark world presented by โคAmusement Today, grantedโ Universal a total ofโข five awards for bothโฃ new and longstanding immersive experiences and โฃattractions. It was the only florida park too win in this yearโs roundup.
The parkโฃ nabbed the following honors:
- Best new themeโฃ concept for Epic Universeโsโ village ofโ Darkmoor
- Best โคnew coaster โคfor Epic Universeโs Stardust โRacers
- Best new attractionโ installation for Epic Universeโs Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry
- Best dark ride for Epic Universeโs Monsters Unchained: The Frankenstein Experimentโ
- Best water park forโ Volcanoโ Bay
This year marks โthe firstโข timeโ a new winner has beenโข named in the best water park category in 26 years. โฃVolcano Bay, opened in 2017, beat out the previous titleholder:โ Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort in New Braunfels, Texas.
While Epic Universe, the theme parkโs highly anticipated new ventureโ that opened this summer, helped the amusement giant scoreโฃ big, Disney โฃWorld was left in the dust.
Disney World took home no wins. Maybe next time, Mickey.โ
