Six Flags Entertainment Corporation (NYSE: SIX), the world’s
largest regional theme park company and the largest operator of
waterparks in North America, today announced it has earned three
top honors in Amusement Today’s prestigious annual Golden Ticket
Awards:
- Jeffrey Siebert, Park President of Six Flags Fiesta Texas, won
the coveted 2022 Golden Ticket Leadership Award
- Six Flags Fiesta Texas was awarded the Publisher’s Pick
Turnstile Award
- Six Flags Over Texas received the award for Best New Show of
2022
Honoring the “best of the best” in the amusement industry, the
Golden Ticket Awards are calculated from an international poll
conducted by Amusement Today, a newspaper founded in 1997 that
covers international amusement and water park news and trends.
Jeffrey Siebert, an industry veteran with over 28 years of
experience, has been Park President of Six Flags Fiesta Texas since
2016. Under Siebert’s leadership, the park has flourished and
experienced considerable growth. “Jeffrey’s leadership, passion,
and relentless focus on providing an exceptional experience for our
guests and team members is truly inspirational,” said Selim
Bassoul, President and CEO. “His infectious energy empowers his
team to do their very best, and his years at Fiesta Texas have
directly contributed to the park’s success.”
As further testament to Siebert’s vision for Fiesta Texas, the
park received its own Golden Ticket accolade. Honored with the
Turnstile Award for its efforts to bring guests back again
and again, Fiesta Texas was recognized for reinvigorating its
classic Poltergeist ride, which recently reopened with a completely
new, immersive experience after more than two decades in service.
Further enhancing the in-park experience, Fiesta Texas created its
own eye-catching sculptures for Halloween and Christmas, introduced
a new Mardi Gras Festival, and continued its legacy of quality
entertainment that dazzles audiences. The park also introduced its
newest creation earlier this year—Dr. Diabolical’s
Cliffhanger—which was recognized as one of the Best New
Rollercoasters of 2022.
Six Flags Over Texas took home the Best New Show award
for Christmas at the Southern Palace, a spectacle featuring a
25-member cast, soaring vocals, beautiful costumes and a live band.
The show was one of the largest and most well-received productions
in the history of Six Flags Over Texas, and it was a fitting finale
for the park’s 60th season.
Six Flags parks also earned top five rankings in other
categories, including:
- Six Flags Fiesta Texas for Best Halloween Event, and the
park’s Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger for Best New
Rollercoaster and Best New Attraction Installation for
2022;
- Six Flags Magic Mountain for Best Christmas Event;
- Pirates of Speelunker Cave at Six Flags Over Texas for Best
New Family Attraction; and
- El Toro at Six Flags Great Adventure for Best Wooden Roller
Coaster.
Once again, Six Flags had a number of its world-class coasters
listed among the Top 25 Steel Roller Coasters and Top 25 Wooden
Roller Coasters for 2022: Superman the Ride at Six Flags New
England, Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas, Twisted Colossus
at Six Flags Magic Mountain, Nitro at Six Flags Great Adventure,
and Comet at Six Flags Great Escape.
In addition to Dr. Diabolical’s Cliffhanger at Six Flags Fiesta
Texas, Six Flags unveiled an incredible line-up of thrill rides
including Wonder Woman Flight of Courage at Six Flags Magic
Mountain, the park’s 20th coaster; Cat Woman Whip at Six Flags St.
Louis; and Sidewinder Safari at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom.
Building upon Oktoberfest, Fright Fest, Holiday in The Park and
other popular annual festivals, Six Flags is introducing a robust
lineup of new events at many of its parks, including Veterans
Weekend, St. Patrick’s Day, Cinco De Mayo, Summer Vibes and more.
Guest can return multiple times throughout the year to enjoy
elevated food and entertainment experiences each time they visit
with their new annual membership.
