StarSpeeder 3000 Vehicle Playset Nominated for IAAPA Brass Ring Award

The popular StarSpeeder 3000 Vehicle Playset has been nominated as a finalist in the “Best Custom Retail Souvenir: Year-Round Operation” category. The playset is up against competition from Enchanted Kingdom for “Twin Princesses Rag Dolls: Victoria & Madeline”, Africam Safari for “Sketch Hoodies”, and Hershey’s Chocolate World for “Cupcake the Cow Book/Plush Combination”.

The tradition of the brass ring, a term now synonymous with spectacular achievement, dates back to the 1800s when rings were hung on carousels to pose a fun challenge for riders. Successfully grabbing a ring while riding the carousel often earned riders prizes, often including an additional free ride. Most rings were made of iron, but a few were made of brass, so grabbing the brass ring was a coveted and celebrated treat.

The IAAPA Brass Ring Awards honor this tradition by celebrating achievements of excellence throughout the global attractions industry. The IAAPA Brass Ring Awards are considered one of the global attractions industry’s most prestigious honors.
