Walt Disney World is the home of Greg Hale’s ‘day job’
(EN) standards and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) which is a huge step in the right direction.
I think the main challenge for the industry never changes – to provide fun and exciting experiences, with great guest service, that are affordable and, of course, safe. All of these elements are required for our industry to be successful.
IAAPA Attractions Expo's timing just before Thanksgiving and before the December holidays is ideal for people that want to visit Central Florida. Visiting everything in Orlando during November allows you to take in the great weather and holiday decorations.
Al Weber Jnr
1952 - 2016 Alexander Weber Jnr – the seasoned parks and attractions executive who was recently elected second vice-chairman of IAAPA – died on November 8 while snorkelling in the Virgin Islands. He was 64.
Al was president and CEO of Apex
Parks, operator of Indiana Beach, Martin's Fantasy Island (New York), Sahara Sam’s
Oasis (New Jersey) and more than 10 FECs across the United States. He founded the group in 2014 after a period as interim CEO and COO of Six Flags. Al started his career at the age 16 as a ride operator at Coney Island Amusement Park in Cincinnati, Ohio, and went on to manage park operations at Carowinds in North Carolina and serve as general manager of Paramount's Great America (California) and Paramount's Kings Island, Cincinatti (now part of Cedar Fair). During his 45- plus years in the business, he served as president and CEO of both Paramount Parks and Palace Entertainment, as well as CEO of consultancy Kings Leisure Partners. He also oversaw the design and construction of a waterpark in Texas. Elected second vice-chairman of IAAPA this September during Euro Attractions
Show in Barcelona, Al was due to lead the association as from November 2018 (following the chairmanship of Greg Hale and Andreas Andersen). Chairman of the Branding Task Force, he had served as a member of IAAPA's executive, strategic planning, finance and communications committees, as well as its board of directors. "We have lost a visionary, an advocate, and a friend," notes IAAPA president and CEO, Paul Noland. "Al was the embodiment of everything that is great about this business, and his impact on our industry will live on for generations to come. On behalf of IAAPA, our board of directors, staff and membership, we send our deepest condolences to Al's wife Bonnie, Al's family, and his industry friends, especially his colleagues at Apex Parks Group."
