to cover in our Winter Issue, from the progress being made at new indoor theme park Dream Island, Moscow (pp26-27), to the opening of Rulantica, the Mack family’s new waterpark in Germany (pp42-43). We also re-visit Mirabilandia, Italy (pp46-47) to find out what’s been happening in the year since we last spoke to them, while taking a close look at Dreamworld, Australia for the first time. Rollercoasters are big this Issue too; we’ve
got Great Coasters International (pp28-29) on the front cover, together with a story about its past, present and future on pages 28 and 29. Paul Ruben, meanwhile, writes about all the new rollercoasters coming to North America in 2020 (34-36). We also bring you a review of the recent

IAAPA Expo, an event rich as ever with innovation and education (pp30-33), while finding out what DEAL that has in store for you on page 38. All this and more news, views and product
