Among the 2023 roller coaster novelties, the prize was awarded to “Toutatis” at Parc Astérix in France. Together with the newly created “Festival Toutatis” area, France’s tallest and fastest roller coaster from manufacturer Intamin impressed the members of the association.

The FKF Award in the Park Novelty category went to Movie Park Germany for “Movie Park’s Hollywood Christmas”. In its first winter season, the park impressed its visitors with an American Christmas event series (see our news from 06.09.2023).
Showman Harry P.E. Bruch was delighted to receive the award in the “Fair novelty” category with his “Excalibur” ride. Since 2023, the showman has been traveling to funfairs with its giant XXL swing from Dutch manufacturer KMG. Up to 20 persons can fly through the air on the attraction at up to 47 meters.
Congratulations to all the winners! ■
