Развлечения сегодня

American trade magazine

Amusement Today — ежемесячное периодическое издание, публикующее статьи, новости, фотографии и обзоры обо всем, что касается индустрии парков развлечений , включая парки, аттракционы и производителей аттракционов. Отраслевая газета, базирующаяся в Арлингтоне, штат Техас , США, была основана в январе 1997 года Гэри Слэйдом, Вирджилом Э. Муром III и Риком Тидроу. ^[1] В 1997 году Amusement Today выиграл премию Impact Award в категории услуг за «Лучший новый продукт» от Международной ассоциации парков развлечений и аттракционов (IAAPA). Год спустя, в 1998 году, журнал основал премию Golden Ticket Awards , благодаря которой он стал наиболее известен в индустрии парков развлечений. 2 января 2001 года Слэйд выкупил долю своих двух партнеров, что дало ему единоличное право собственности на газету. ^[1] В офисе газеты в Арлингтоне работают два штатных и два внештатных сотрудника, а также два штатных автора и несколько внештатных авторов в разных частях света. ^[2]
