Park Word
Hello everyone, and welcome once again to a sunny edition of Park World magazine! Hopefully your eyes are finally getting used to the yellow ball in the sky, and you’re able to fully
enjoy the excellent weather most of us are happy to receive right now.
You hold in your hands (or on your screen) an excellent issue, because we’re really pulled out all the stops to cram as much into this month as possible.

Tom Anstey in particular is on fire this issue (not literally – don’t worry!) as he not only brings us an excellent report on the plans Disney has for Disneyland Abu Dhabi, but also delves into the murky world of A.I. to see how it will be influencing the attractions sector for the foreseeable future. Last month’s cover stars, ProSlide, are back, as I speak with both the company’s Vice President of Business Development for Europe, Aaron Wilson, and Joan Cama, the Co-owner of Water World Lloret de Mar. We also welcome Owen Ralf to Park World’s pages, as he brings us up to speed with recent projects at the popular park near the city of Tilburg – Efteling.
We’re heavily into updates this month, as we bring you one of our bi-monthly reports on everything hitting Asia right now as well as a slew of ride, attraction and company updates in our regular Updates section.
There’s more to be found, but I think it’s always good to leave you something to go search for yourselves, so get swiping and enjoy the issue.
Be seeing you. Matt
