Well, I don’t get to say this often these days, but I’m writing to you from the hotel room of my holiday resor t in Fuerteventura. Get me! For tunately –
and thanks to the wonders of modern technology – I’ve still managed to keep the good ship Park World Magazine ploughing through the waters by jumping online in the odd spare moment between swims and glasses of Cava (which – brilliantly – flows as freely as water here!) But enough showing off; we’ve got a
magazine to deliver here, and what an issue it is! Along with our usual news and regular
columnist (namely Susan Storey and Tom Anstey) I also had the chance to speak with VEX Solutions’ CEO, Julien Henricot. Park World’s Nor th America Editor (or ‘our
Susan’ as I like to think of her as) brings us a look at a new attraction within Dollywood, while Tom steps away from his column to bring us a repor t on changing trends in the industry. Add to that the usual updates and
announcements from around the industry, and you’ve got a tasty little magazine in your hands (or on your screens). Anyway, I’ve got a new book to star t, and a
lot of factor 50 to use up before I have to give in and trudge back to the bleak November in England, so enjoy the issue, while I enjoy another glass of Cava.
Be seeing you. Matt
