4 Wins!Europa-Park is once again crowned the Best Theme Park Worldwide

On 9th September 2017, for the fourth year in a row, Germany’s largest theme park secured the prestigious Best Theme Park Worldwide award from the Golden Ticket Awards. According to the internationally renowned trade magazine, Amusement Today, Europa-Park was the clear judges’ favourite from the panel of industry experts. In the US state of Connecticut, Jürgen Mack, owner of Europa-Park, proudly accepted the coveted prize.

The Mack family company from Rust once again pushed through strong global competition. The mix of varied rides for young and old, the innovative Coastiality range with Virtual Reality technology, the Voletarium (the largest flying theater in Europe) and the gigantic future plans for the water world lighthouse project, as well as the packed 23-hour show program, the detailed theming, the excellent gastronomy, and the generous hotel resort were all decisive factors. The award ceremony took place at Quassy Amusement Park in Middlebury, Connecticut. For the vote, international theme park and roller coaster experts were once again invited to select their favorites in a total of 25 categories for the 20th time. In the Best Theme Park Worldwide category, Europa-Park was crowned once again as the winner.

Jürgen Mack, receiving the prize with his son Frederik, said during the award ceremony: “Incredible! As a representative of my whole family, as well as the 3,700 workers at Europa-Park, I feel very proud. We have achieved something huge again this year: Mack Media was co-producer of the animated feature film Happy Family, which will be shown in more than 60 cinemas worldwide. Earlier this year we opened the biggest flying theater in Europe, the amazing Voletarium, finished the construction of the Europa-Park Arena which has space for 6,000 people, and we are eagerly awaiting the opening of our new horror event for Halloween: Traumatica. The professional recognition of this expert jury confirms our great work on the one hand, and on the other hand, motivates us to give always the best to our visitors."

Taking the fourth Golden Ticket Awards victory in a row in its stride, Europa-Park is now gearing up for a spooky Halloween Season as the summer closes out at Germany’s largest theme park.
