History

[edit]

The Golden Ticket Awards have been presenting awards since 1998 acknowledging the amusement industry achievement in different categories. The Best New Attraction Installation award was introduced in 2019 and the first award was presented to Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure at Universal Islands of Adventure.[1] Before 2019, there was one award recognizing new attractions, which then was divided up to showcase more rides in the industry.[2][3]

The award is based on the attraction's uniqueness, popularity, theming and effect on the industry.[3]
