Attendees at this year’s Eurasian Amusement Parks And Attractions Expo enjoyed a fun thrill ride of new products and leisure time possibilities.
The event, held Feb. 12-14 in Moscow, showcased the latest in amusement park and entertainment equipment, water parks, game rooms, playgrounds, and summer theme parks.
While not as big as some of the other major trade shows (in Berlin, London, and Orlando, Fla.), it offered European buyers a chance to explore what the industry’s best manufacturers and vendors have to offer. “Despite the fact that the show is not as big as in Orlando and London, its strong advantage is the fact that the visitors come here purposely – for the sake of the products, innovations, and fun,” said Andrew Rogonov, head of sales for GK Konstruktivnoe Biuro Tekhnologii. “Right from the morning, we had queues of the visitors and customers at our booth.”

Russia’s entertainment industry is moving forward by leaps and bounds. Russia is the first European country to open a theme park branded by American studio DreamWorks Animation. Similar parks have already been built in the United States, Australia, and Japan. Russia will also be home to the world’s first fully indoor amusement park, managed by the American company Universal Studios and the children’s entertainment center under the Mexican brand of Kidzania.
