THIS MONTH’S COVER SHOT: Park World’s annual dark rides special is back with over 10 exciting new attractions from around the globe (see page 30). Pictured on our cover is Dragon Wild Shooting by The Hettema Group for Lotte World in Seoul – see next issue.


A dark ride can differentiate your


attraction from competitors, they are not planning-contentious, you can create much of it with local


contractors, and they can charm, intrigue, thrill or scare according to what your guests want
