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.
The Belgium-based group has decided to entrust the project to Premier Rides which will be in charge of designing and manufacturing the yet-to-be named ride for an opening scheduled in July 2014.
