THIS MONTH’S COVER SHOT: The Lost World 4D is now available for distribution via nWave Pictures. Directed by Ben Smith of Red Star Studios, the 12-minute attraction film features the stressed executive Bob, who heads to a desert island for a much-needed vacation …but soon his paradise is invaded by dinosaurs! The Lost World is a comic, fast-paced, immersive 3D adventure ideally suited for 4D effects. See page 28 or experience the prehistoric action for yourself on the nWave booth (#4828) at IAAPA Attractions Expo in Orlando. www.nwave.com





Just because we've lost some local parks, it doesn’t mean the people automatically come here. The big shopping centres are now open around the clock, including Sundays, which was always seen as a leisure day
