Park Word


Hello and welcome to a special SUNNY edition of Park World! Yes, the sun is


finally out and it looks like it’s here to stay (this time!). I can tell it’s time to put our BIG COATS


back in storage and prepare for a solid summer because my bees have already swarmed twice (fun!) and I’ve had two ice creams at the local park (not at the same time, obviously) - so you can see I’m taking this year very seriously. While you reintroduce your legs to the


sun, allow me to provide a belting issue of the magazine to amuse and delight. Susan Storey is back to Give Kids the World, while Tom Anstey looks at how the attractions industry is dealing with the developments in the Middle East. Light and shade, if you will. We speak with Patrick Lamb of Severn


Lamb, as well as hear from Great Coasters about their Titan Track system. We take a look at how EV Chargers can


help increase park bookings, while our new Asia correspondents - Daisy Long, Rachel Li and Nikki Li – deliver an overview of the region’s key activities. We have a ton of park, company and


attraction updates in our regular section, and… so much more. But why spoil it when the contents page is designed to do just that.


Enjoy! Matt
