Six Flags Parks Win Two Golden Ticket Awards for 2024

A total of 28 rides, attractions and live events across the park network also recognized

Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: FUN), the largest amusement park operator in North America, today announced it has earned two repeat honors in Amusement Today’s annual Golden Ticket Awards (GTA).

Schlitterbahn Waterpark Resort in New Braunfels, Texas, was recognized as the “World’s Best Water Park” for an unprecedented 26th time. Schlitterbahn is an iconic Central Texas property best known for its unique spring-fed river setting and German heritage. With 45 attractions across 70 acres, including the new Schatze’s Storybrook Park area for kids, Schlitterbahn remains a fan favorite and a one-of-a-kind family experience.

In addition, Carowinds, which straddles the border of North Carolina and South Carolina, took home the highly coveted “Best Steel Coaster” for its giga coaster Fury 325, marking the ninth time it has won a Golden Ticket.

Presented annually, the prestigious GTA recognizes excellence in the amusement park industry. The awards are calculated from an international poll conducted by Amusement Today, an Arlington, Texas-based publication that covers amusement and water park news and trends.

“Making people happy is what our 42 parks do best, so it’s always very gratifying when our commitment to serving guests is recognized and celebrated,” said Six Flags President & CEO Richard A. Zimmerman. “A total of 28 rides, attractions and events and leaders throughout our park network were recognized by the Golden Ticket Awards in 2024, and we salute these parks for consistently delivering amazing experiences to guests of all ages.”
