It is equally important that the info be correct both in a print paper as well as their website. The pictures on the website are not of the experience described in the article.

Originally Posted By FerretAfros >>Unless there was some other more notable development in that category in the world Enchanted Tales deserves the recognition, I guess.<< That's what gets me. The categories are pretty arbitrary, and vary from year to year. If there's a semi-major attraction opening in a park, it will probably get an award, even if they have to make up a category. In the past, I feel like some of them have been so specific to the point where "Best non-looping roller coaster painted red with over-the-shoulder-restraints and onboard audio" could only apply to one thing. I don't know how many other additions qualified in the same category as Enchanted Tales, but it seems like it's sort of on its own playing field
