THE JUDGES
Best Waterpark 2020 - Rulantica
The judging panel will each put forward a ride/attraction that they believe has risen above all of this yearʼs entries and represents the best that the industry has to offer. A vote will be taken to decide on the winner.
2020 Winners rate the experience highly At the 2020 Park World Excellence Awards, the Mack family won in two major categories: Best Large Park, for Europa-Park and Best Water Park for Rulantica. They said: “Winning these awards has been fantastic. It was a particularly difficult year for our industry and to win these awards just before Christmas has been great for our entire team. Itʼs like Christmas has come early. “We believe in our product and the Mack family, along with the entire
team are working tirelessly to make Europa-Park the best it can be. Our attention to detail and the theming of the park is something we are particularly proud of. We like working with people, we like seeing the smiles on their faces and guests can see and feel that. Thatʼs why the vaat majority come back year after year.” “We are particularly proud to see Rulantica bring home an award as well.
Just over one year in and with all the closing periods due to the virus, this is proof for us that we are on the right track.” (note to Jools – please see 2020 Awards Supplement p9 for related images) Puy du Fou, meanwhile, was crowned winner in three categories– Best use
of Theming; Best Live Entertainment; and Best use of Technology. Speaking at the time, CEO Guillaume Gallaire told Park World: “It is a great honour for Puy du Fou to receive these Park World Excellence Awards. The international recognition represents a tremendous achievement for all our team and partners. For us, the most important word isnʼt “Award” itʼs “Excellence. This value is part of our DNA and has been our philosophy from the beginning.” (note to Jools – please see 2020 Awards Supplement p8 for related images) The Family Zone at Ferrari World Abu Dhabi reigned victorious in the
Best Ride(s) category, for The Family Zone, supplied by Zamperla. Bianca Sammut, acting head of Yas Theme Parks and general manager of Ferrari World Abu Dhabi said: “being recognised by the Park World Excellence Awards for the launch of the Family Zone is an honour and we are all very proud to have been part of this achievement. This award is testament to our commitment to elevating the guest experience and continuously diversifying our offerings. We also see this accolade as a new testament to our contribution in defining excellence across the themed entertainment industry.” Also commenting on the win, now CEO Antonio Zamperla said: “We are
a family-run business and for us the idea of FAMILY is at the root of all our existence. This prize is for sure the recognition of these values.”
