I’m so jealous! Why’s that you ask? Well, simply because you get to read this excellent issue with fresh eyes (I’ve seen EVERYTHING at least twice already). Anyway, it’s a cracking
issue, so I won’t take offence if you stop reading this bit and turn the page.
Still here? Fair enough. In that case, let me tell you in excruciating detail about the issue in front of you. Susan Storey kicks things off with a smashing Park Hoppin’ column, this month focusing on the tale of a brilliant 93-year-old monorail operator! Carry on through a bunch of news pages and you’ll learn all about our cover stars - Dal Rides - before landing on a fascinating article from Outside The Lines’ CEO, J. Wickham Zimmerman, regarding the use of AI in theme parks. Then it’s time to check out our regular Industry Insider feature, this month zooming in on Great Coasters’ President, Clair Hain Jr.
Jora Vision makes the first of two appearances this month in an expert piece on the place of Dark Rides in the industry before presenting one of its own (The Enchanted Greenhouse) in our extensive Dark Rides special.
Just before that you’ll find our Susan’s review of Six Flags, Great America’s gob-smacking new pendulum attraction, Sky Striker, before a roundup of other ride, park and company updates keep you informed on all the key happenings out in the world of parks (NOW you know how we got our name!) Brilliantly I’ve run out of words long before telling you about everything, so now you understand what a belting issue we have for you! Get on and enjoy it, why don’t you.
