THIS MONTH’S COVER SHOT: The Storm by Mack Rides is one of the signature new attractions at Etnaland in Sicily, Italy, which has just completed a transformation from waterpark to theme park. Mack, which recently opened new production facilities at Waldkirch, Germany, also contributed a Twist ‘n’ Splash ride to the project – the perfect way to cool down in the Sicilian heat. See page 30.

Large observation wheels are mainly a tourist attraction and should not confused with amusement rides,
however parks are starting to ask for wheels of 60-metres; a few years ago they just asked for up to 35-metres

Don’t be afraid of dark rides! A dark ride can differentiate your attraction from
your competitors, they are not planning- contentious, you can create much of it with local contractors, and they can charm, intrigue, thrill or scare
