Golden Pony Awards

The 26th Golden Pony® Awards ceremony, October 22, Italy. Established in 2002 by Facto Edizioni, publishers of the ‘Games & Parks Industry’ magazine, the award is meant to recognize excellence among leisure operators all over the world, like amusement & theme parks, traveling showmen, FECs, suppliers and relevant figures. It rewards greatness and an ability to stand out that, according to the magazine’s vision and the expert commission that helps in candidate’s selection, does not show only in terms of figures (like annual attendance or investments), but also in terms of skills and of stories that give extraordinary value also to venues that are less known on the global stage. The Golden Pony® Award has been given to over 390 facilities and personalities from more than 50 countries so far.

The 26th Golden Pony® Awards ceremony took place last October 22 in Italy. For the fifth time in its history, the awards ceremony was part of the ‘Meeting della Giostra’ (Rides Meeting), an annual event that takes buyers from all over the world into direct contact with the companies from the so-called Italian Rides District, the cradle of the rides industry in Italy, an area in the south of the Veneto region centered around the towns of Bergantino, Calto and Melara, in the province of Rovigo.
Spending some pleasant days with colleagues from various countries sharing experiences, and celebrating their respective success at the awards-giving ceremony was greatly appreciated by the winners.
Held in the Bergantino council auditorium, and organised in co-operation with CNA Padova Rovigo trade association, Regione del Veneto and Venicepromex - Agenzia per l'internazionalizzazione Scarl and with the valued support of the Chambers of Commerce of Venice-Rovigo, Padova and Treviso-Belluno-Dolomiti, as well as the Comune Di Bergantino, Comune Di Melara and Calto city councils, and TOGO MEDIA (for the photo and video shooting), the ceremony took place during a sumptuous gala dinner.
Nine leisure operators from just as many countries were awarded.
