At the 2026 Safety Conference hosted by International Ride Training LLC, the park earned the iROC Audit Excellence Award for large facilities, honoring top performance in ride operations safety. The award recognizes teams that achieve high standards across 10 critical components of ride operator safety, said Cindee Huddy, owner of International Ride Training.
