Hello again, and welcome to another issue. The honeymoon period lasted about four days for me as new Editor, so I’m already well and truly into the thick of it now! We have a typically packed issue for you, with stateside editor, Susan Storey, kicking things off with a look at the synergy between theme parks and live music, as well as bringing us an in-depth look at a fantastic (and slightly intimidating-looking!) new product from Extreme Engineering that’s landed at Atomic Golf in Las Vegas. Elsewhere you’ll find a great interview with El
Dorado Park’s President, Carlos Cobiella, about their incredible partnership with ProSlide (if ever there was a set of park photos that had me reaching for my Speedos – this is it!). This issue also features a review from IAPPA
P20
Latin American, as well as a look at the new Voltron Nevera ride that opened at Europa-Park. And then we’re into a special feature with some of the big hitters in the FEC space. As you can probably tell, I’m struggling to get
everything mentioned before I run out of space… which I nearly have. Ah well - I guess you’ll just have to turn the pages and find everything for yourselves!
Enjoy. Matt
