Dear Reader

Welcome to the January issue of Park World, the first issue of the year and my first as editor.

I’d only been in the role a few days when I flew out to Orlando for the IAAPA expo; a baptism of fire, it was well worth it for all the creative experiences, products and people I saw and met there. Of course, we could have devoted the whole issue to it, but with only a finite number of pages and so much to cover, we bring you the highlights (pages 24 -26), with additional reporting on the Park World website.

Also this month, we take a look at new Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park in China (pages 30-31); find out about all the latest developments at Italy’s oldest theme park, Gardaland and re-visit Liesberg and it’s now well-established ride, LOKE in a ride profile on page 38.

We also talk to nFusion about the park planning process on pages 50-51; David Bromilow about ride safety management protocol on pages 45-47 Florentina Anghel and Ailsa Easton about the use of scent in theme parks and other attractions.

This month also sees the first in a series of ‘Industry Influencer’ features, with Peter Cliff, creative director, Holovis, taking centre stage to talk about how this background in the theatre continues to influence his creative output today.

Paul Ruben reflects on his IAAPA experience in Park Hoppin (p4) and speaks exclusively to Kent Lemasters about being inducted into the WWA Hall of Fame (34-35).
