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 next project is to introduce an entirely new visitor experience at the entrance area, qualified by Lotte World as the world’s first upscale ticketing experience in a theme park. The new 3,500-sqm Welcome Center will eliminate the traditional ticket booths with long flowing ticketing desks, along with a new dream-like garden ambiance. “By its nature, a theme park’s entrance is generally chaotic, so our primary goal is to organize the chaos as best we can, and to put guests in a calming and stimulating multi-sensory environment,” said Taylor Jeffs, the Goddard Group’s Director of Design. “We will employ visceral elements including smells, sounds, and transforming mood-lighting to achieve this effect.“
Three divisions of the company (Project management, Engineering & Installation and After-sales) are now grouped under a single department: Technical Operations and After-Sales. To lead this newly created department, Polin announced the appointment of Volkan Sofuoglu to its management team. Before joining Polin, he was responsible for managing multiple large-scale projects at ThyssenKrupp AG, one of the world's largest steel producers.
One of TAA's speciality, artistic artificial rockwork, has also been highlighted by some recent projects, including at Plopsaland in Belgium for which the company has built a massive structure surrounding the Disk'O Coaster supplied by Zamperla and part of a new themed area named Wickieland (see our photos here).
Commenting on the announcement, Stephanie Testa, Senior Vice President of Corporate Alliances, Universal Parks & Resorts said: “We are pleased to continue and expand this long-standing relationship with Coca-Cola. The two brands are respected globally for world-class value and service, making them a complementary brand fit." These past three years have been intense for NewsParcs.
