IAAPA’s Brass Ring Awards honor the best and brightest in the attractions industry. The brass ring tradition dates back to the 1800s when rings were suspended above the riders on a carousel. The coveted rings were placed just out of reach, tempting all who stepped onto the carousel. Anyone grabbing a ring kept their brass prize and won a second ride. Today, the term ‘brass ring’ remains synonymous with achievement in the attractions field.
