As you may have noticed from the new graphics on our homepage, the Golden Ticket Awards were announced yesterday.

Last year's event was here at Holiday World. This year, it was at Dollywood.

As you can see on the screen, the reigning #1 Wooden Coaster was the home-park's wonderful Thunderhead.

But after the announcement, all that changed:

Not that I'm complaining or anything, but I did notice my suggestion to add a "Best Park Blog" category was overlooked. Again.

Ah well, there's always next year.
