All amusement industry publications need to move over, InPark Magazine is here. InPark Magazine is a new publication for the amusement industry. You can find InPark Magazine on the desk’s of over 8,000 managers, owners and operators of amusement and theme parks.
Our very own host of In the Loop had a chat with Bill St. Yves, news editor of InPark Magazine. Bill gives us the scoop on InPark, and a little sneak peek out what February’s issue has to offer.
Clint Novak: Hey what’s going on its Clint Novak, the host of In The Loop. I’ve got Bill St. Yves with us, the News Editor of InPark Magazine. How are you doing today Bill?
Bill St. Yves: I am doing very well, how are you doing today?
Clint: I am doing good. I here you just got back from Minnesota.
Bill: I did, I was out there this past weekend. I had a chance to go to the Mall of America and enjoy Camp Snoopy.
Clint: That’s cool. I would say Camp Snoopy was my home park when I lived in Minnesota, because I only lived 15 minuets from it. But Vallyfair! Being the bigger park, I called that my home park.
Bill: I have never been to an in-door amusement park before. In all my years I have always done the outdoor parks. It was a neat concept, the way the make you feel like your out side, with all the trees and stuff, even though out side its middle of January in Minnesota.
Clint: We are probably boring the people who are listing to find out about InPark. Why don’t you tell us about InPark.
Bill: We just premiered our first issue, and the theme of it was premiering. We premiered it at IAAPA down in Florida. We got some great response from that. As I said what we do with our issues is its going to be belt around a central theme. Our first theme was Premier, so we talked about premiering two new water parks, Paramount Kings Island, and Paramount Great America. We talked about the primer of The Mommy Ride at the two Universal parks and how they premiered them very differently. Coming up in February we have our second issue that will have the theme of atmosphere. We are going to talk about how parks can create and atmosphere around what there doing.
Clint: Can you give us some insight as to what the February issue has for us?
Bill: Well we have not got all of the stories back yet. We have writers all around the country. But I can tell you about our park review. We are going to be reviewing a park out in Mongolia.
Clint: The country of Mongolia?
Bill:Yes, the country of Mongolia. We had a writer out there and they stumbled on this small amusement park. We just got the pictures back, and we are really excited about that. We are probably going to be the first publication to write about a Mongolian amusement park.
Clint: Very good. That’s coming up in the February issue. How would people subscribe to InPark?
Bill: Well you can go to our web site. From there you can get more info on the upcoming issue, and sing up right there on line.
