The Golden Ticket Award for Best New Family Attraction is presented by Amusement Today to the best new family attraction in the amusement park industry.
History The Golden Ticket Awards have been presenting awards since 1998 acknowledging the amusement industry achievement in different categories. The Best New Family Attraction award was introduced in 2019 and the first award was presented to Star Wars: Millennium Falcon – Smugglers Run at Disneyland. Before 2019, there was one award recognizing new attractions, which then was divided up to showcase more rides in the industry.
The award is based on the attractions that are catered to families, with a signature ride experience that goes beyond a production model ride installation.
