Amusement Today's 2018 Golden Ticket Awards are calculated from an international poll asking experienced amusement park voters around the country and the world to rate the "best" in 23 categories.
Riders board one of three trains and climb nearly 205 feet above FrontierTown. Once they reached the lift hill, they will be staring straight down a 90-degree initial drop and a 200-foot fall to earth.
Lines for the ride have been long all summer long as guests rushed to get in line for a chance to ride the park's newest roller coaster.
Despite some hiccups during its debut, the ride has been a crowd pleaser among loyal and new roller coaster riders.
Among the other awards, Kings Island near Cincinnati won "Best Kids' Area".
