This has been a fantastic year and we wanted to spend some time saying thank you to all of our partners worldwide. We are happy to celebrate because 2015 was a year of growth and diverse projects. We had a lot of great things happen in each division:
Sales: Adventure City- Rewind Racers opened to rave reviews at the family-owned California park in June. We have been thrilled with the response the park and the ride have received. There are few reactions better than children enjoying their first large roller coaster. Website: http://www.adventurecity.com
Operations: The SeaGlass Carousel- We added a new jewel in our operations crown this year with the opening of the SeaGlass Carousel at the Battery. This attraction is not just unique to New York, but the world, and offers a truly one-of-a-kind experience. Guests step into whimsical fish and enjoy an experience with a custom light and sound show.

Financial Partnerships: Killington Resort- We opened a SkyTrail® Ropes Course at Killington Resort in Vermont. This was our first foray into the ski industry and it has been a smashing success. We look forward to doing another project with Killington and expanding our partnerships in the ski industry. Website: http://www.killington.com
Installations: Canada’s Wonderland- Our team certainly globe-trotted this year, but some of the most fun was sending a 60-meter Slingshot Skyward at Canada’s Wonderland. We had to battle some ice and snow, but we had it running by opening day. Website: https://www.canadaswonderland.com
Skycoaster®: Casino Pier- It was a banner year for Skycoaster, we opened three units (two in Mexico and one in the U.S.). The most striking was the 109-foot lattice model that stands at the edge of Casino Pier in New Jersey. This particular installation is unique because after the pull the ripcord they fly out over the Atlantic Ocean, often seeing dolphins swimming in the surf below. Website: http://casinopiernj.com
Team Members: We were thrilled to welcome two new team members this year. Steve in our Maryland office and Mervin in our New York office were great hires and we are thrilled to have them on our team.
We wish everyone a fantastic holiday season. We hope that 2016 is a great one and we get to work with you, or you get to enjoy one of our attractions. From the Ride Entertainment family to yours, Happy Holidays.
