2013-12-11T09:01:16-05:00

One step into the Hard Rock Hotel property in Orlando and the tone is set to have a ROCKing vacation, but for some the party only starts when you walk in the doors! From the guitar filled fountain and the memorabilia lined walls this hotel is an amusement in itself, but beyond the lobby of this luxurious resort lies the exclusive 7th floor club level and home to “Club 7” where the concierge’s motto “Love All, Serve All” really comes [...]

The Future of Interactive Attractions

2019-03-27T06:12:37-04:00

The Future of Interactive Attractions Imagine taking a person from the 90s to the theme parks and attractions of today. What would you show them? Which rides would you go on? Would much have changed in these years? The 90s don’t seem like a long time ago, but sometimes I like to remind myself of how I old I really am when I think that the Jurassic Park movie came out nearly 20 years ago in 1993!
