Plans for 2019
We plan to further expand our L-RTM line while introducing new signature rides and innovations. Also over the last 12 months, the Asian market has been increasingly important to us. The Asian market is growing and is particularly open to new ideas and concepts. So we see a great potential there. The trend we observe in Asia is more larger traditional waterparks.
