NewsParcs, connecting the theme park industry!
NewsParcs will do a full coverage of the IAAPA Attractions Expo 2013 in Orlando to have a look at the latest trends and developments of the global theme park industry.
OLC said that this spectacular increase in attendance can be explained mostly by the successful programme of the resort's 30th anniversary celebrations 'The Happiness Year' which started on April 15. The special events held at the two theme parks, together with the launch of a new daytime parade 'Happiness is Here' and the opening of 'Star Tours: The Adventures Continue', proved to be highly popular.
The awards were bestowed through the voting of an independent jury consisting of several experts of the theme park industry in 11 different categories honoring the most remarkable attractions, coasters and parks in Europe. For the first time, a Lifetime Award was given to the German engineer Dr. Werner Stengel, who was involved during the past five decades in the realization of almost 650 coaster projects as well as other attractions around the world.
The deal represents Merlin’s first venture into Istanbul. The company sees the acquisition as the catalyst to potentially develop a ‘cluster’ of its global midway brands in the city, particularly given the aquarium’s very central location in the Istanbul Forum Mall in Bayrampassa. “Turkuazoo Aquarium is a high quality attraction in a great location and with significant potential for additional growth. We plan to invest in upgrading and expanding the business, developing both the displays and the infrastructure to enhance the overall experience for visitors of all ages, and underline its position as a world class aquarium. This also means putting even greater emphasis on the information and ‘fun learning’ elements which are at the heart of Merlin’s global aquarium strategy,” said the company.These past three years have been intense for NewsParcs.
