It’s getting lighter and brighter as we get close to March - and that can only mean one thing for industry. The season is almost upon us and parks are gearing up to reopen after the winter break. There’s lots in store - head for our Park News section on pages 6-18 to get up to date with all the latest!
Of course, next month’s biggest event on the industry calendar has to be the DEAL show in Dubai on 5-7 March. Turn to page 32 for our preview - while there’s a peak at what to expect from The Park Playground on page 33. There’s more from them on pages 35-37 as well, where we take a look at what The Park Playground and its epic VR experiences are all about.
Meanwhile, we’re heading to new heights with our Flying Theatres feature. This is perhaps one of the most exciting and in-demand formats in the industry currently, so check out the latest insights and innovations from leaders in this field on pages 22-31.
Enjoy! Charlotte P32
