Park Word
Hello and welcome to another issue of Park World!
I WISH I could tell you that the sun has starting to come out and we can all start thinking about what an amazing Spring we’re
P14
going to have, but certainly here in the UK it’s still very much a case of ‘big coats on’, with just the odd sliver of warmth now and then to remind us that we even have a sun.
I can only hope that by the time these words make it onto the page things have improved for everyone, and we can turn our attention to planning exciting trips out to our favourite parks. I’m personally a bit of a waterpark fan, so even the slightest hint of a temperature over 16 degrees is all the excuse I need to get my swimming trunks out of storage! This month we have a particularly busy issue: As always, our Susan brings us everything from her side of the pond, while we welcome new Park World columnist Tom Anstey to the fold; he’ll be with us every month from now own, sharing his incredibly depth of knowledge and point of view.

This month we also turn a spotlight on the scene in Asia (something we’ll be doing more of in the future) as well as showcasing some of the key players in the flying theatres sector in our special feature. RMC’s Darren Torr is out Industry Insider this month, while our LATAM correspondent, Maria Izabel Reigada, brings us an interview with Paulina Reyes, the Vice President and Executive Director IAAPA Latin America, Caribbean.
There’s much more to find for yourselves, so please get turning those pages, and enjoy all this issue has to offer.
Bee seeing you. Matt
