Participate in Safety Week 2010
The attractions industry in the United States is very safe. To showcase the industry’s safety record and to educate customers about how they can safely enjoy our attractions, IAAPA has established an industrywide “Attractions Safety Awareness Week,” May 29-June 6, 2010. The week will take a multifaceted educational approach to informing legislators and the public about amusement park safety practices. IAAPA members can download a Safety Week “tool-kit” at www.iaapa.org/safety as a guide, but ultimately individual members will determine the extent to which their facilities are involved. If you need help planning your event, contact us at safety@IAAPA.org. |

Ripley’s Believe It or Not! Museum in Pattaya, Thailand, recently donated 54,000 thai baht (approximately US$1,600) to Give Kids The World Village. The facility raised the money through donations and novelty photo sales during its Ripley’s Incredible Ambassadors 2010 event.
