The blooloop 50 Theme Park Influencer List 2024
The theme park business is constantly innovating, developing new and exciting rides and visitor attractions. It is this creativity and passion we celebrate with the blooloop 50 Theme Park Influencers list.
These are the people who are driving the business forward. They are your colleagues, your friends, the people you recognise as being true influencers. From inspirational leaders and designers to brilliant designers, marketeers and technologists. They are creating the theme park experience of tomorrow.
This seventh iteration of The blooloop 50 Theme Park Influencer List is presented in association with our good friends at Storibox, who provide imaging technologies and services to the attraction and entertainment industries.
In past years the List has recognised key innovators in varied roles from CEO to Health and Safety, IP owners, HR, Marketing, Media, Sustainability, Operations and more. Who do you think should be in the spotlight?
