Bringing us together Melissa Ruminot, TEA International Board President

Welcome to the 29th Annual TEA Thea Awards! The Thea Awards have been bringing us together for nearly 30 years – three decades –a generation! Bringing us together - but around what, exactly? What do the Thea Awards represent? What is the unifying force? What the Thea Awards represent is inspiration, innovation and the industry’s inexhaustible creativity: The power to imagine the unimaginable - and then to actually deliver it – and, by doing so, to redefine what is possible. The unifying force - the thing that brings us together and ignites our camaraderie - is the celebration of excellence and the power of community. The Thea Awards help us see and feel ourselves as an industry, with a global presence. To perceive our themed entertainment and experience industry in its true depth and breadth requires that you appreciate its fantastic diversity – the hundreds of individual disciplines; the global sweep; the range of markets, perspectives and cultures; the many types of attractions and experiences and their power to engage. Through your creations, you and your colleagues make a difference, a positive impact on the lives of families and guests, evoking great experiences, magical moments and lasting memories. We are fortunate to be part of this amazing industry - where world-class teams come together to create spectacular, world-class projects that engage guests’ hearts and minds through the power of storytelling. And with all that’s been created so far, see the unending potential for more! As we look to the future, it’s essential to also stay in touch with our legacy, the foundation of great projects and great vision that remain timeless.

Special congratulations to Lifetime Achievement recipient Roland Mack; to our two Thea Catalyst recipients, Chevy Humphrey and Susana Tubert; and our two TEA Service Award recipients, Peter Weishar and Kevin Murphy. I am so inspired by the work and legacy each of you has contributed to our industry. To our Thea Classic honoree, The Main Street Electrical Parade, and all of the 29th annual Thea Recipients – Bravo! We are so happy to celebrate alongside each and every one of you. Profound thanks as well to the project owners who literally make all this possible, and special appreciation for their providing the credits lists published here - those acknowledgments are an absolutely essential part of the Thea Awards. We are also most grateful to everyone who made a point of journeying to participate in the Thea Awards

in person, whether as a recipient, presenter or speaker, attendee or volunteer.

Sincere gratitude to our event sponsors for their

Beyond the trophies: A conversation with the Thea Judging Committee Chairs Fri Forjindam (Chief Development Officer, Executive Creative Director MYCOTOO, Inc.) is wrapping up her year as Chair of the 29th annual Thea Awards Judging Committee, which oversaw the current slate of awards honored at the Gala in 2023 and covered in this program. Andy Westfall (Senior Director of Strategic Planning and Development at Herschend Family Entertainment) served as the 29th Committee Co-Chair, and now steps into the Chair position for the new cycle, the 30th annual Thea Awards. Why are the Thea Awards uniquely important to the industry? What kinds of changes and improvements have they brought? Fri Forjindam: The TEA Thea Awards represent the best in storytelling, execution and impact. Where so many awards programs highlight the tip of the iceberg in their respective arenas, the Thea Awards have, since their genesis, held a strong position of celebrating the full team - from owners and operators, to third-party vendors and independent consultants - all of whom played a role in delivering on excellence at opening day. This signature distinction of transparency has remained a constant for the Theas, and will continue to be improved upon, as the barrier of entry for submissions gets more and refined. Andy Westfall: Every year, I’m elated by how the Thea Awards shine a bright global spotlight on outstanding individuals, dynamic teams, and unique projects from around the world, including many that might have otherwise flown below the radar in our colossal entertainment industry. Recognizing, celebrating, and elevating these unknown and emerging creative talents (alongside those that are better known) serves and fuels our industry to

Fri Forjindam continually expand and diversify our community of future creators. I believe that 29 years of Thea Awards has helped do more than celebrate a vast field of excellence; this award is a catalyst binding our global community to raise the collective bar for ourselves and our guests. Speaking of catalysts, the Theas have been expanding to include more recognition for individuals, most recently the Catalyst Awards. Tell us about that and why it’s important. Fri: I believe that before talking about the Catalyst Award and why it’s important, we must first recognize the context in which the award itself was urgently birthed. In 2020, we came to a tipping point in our

positive impact on the culture of our industry, and who inspires and empowers those who create compelling places and experiences. The award can be given to any individual who has recently made an important impact benefiting our industry. The Catalyst Award represents a bold and promising step in bridging the gap between the work that is happening now and the work that is yet to be known. It looks to the future of our industry. It is a step that the Thea Committee is excited about - and a launch that I am extremely proud of. What else does the current slate of recipients tell us?

Andy Westfall collective consciousness. Generational disparities in representation, access and resources came to a head that could not be ignored. In order to conscientiously continue to reflect standards of excellence, our slate must extend to individuals (not just projects) who have significantly impacted the way we view and approach experiences. I’m honored to say I am not alone in this resolve. Industry leaders including Nancy Seruto, Phil Hettema, Pat MacKay and Luc Mayrand were strongly aligned and motivated on this vision. They came together like a team of superheroes to help enlist and energize the entire Committee to champion a new, much deserved category of distinction. The Thea Catalyst Award is reserved for an individual who has achieved a real and

Fri: The Future is Global! The 2023 slate of Thea Award recipients makes a bold commitment towards the TEA membership around the world, with a more diverse and globally inclusive narrative. This year 33% of the honorees were from the Americas, 36% from Asia and MENA, and the remaining 31% from Europe. Where we know there is so much more runway for exposure and awareness is in South America, Africa and Oceania. It is the Committee’s hope and intention to continue our outreach and scouting of the amazing projects and individuals from these areas. One of the big contributions of the Thea Awards has been the publication of credits lists. Why do these matter? Andy: The best ideas, solutions, and dreams come from persons at all levels of an organization, and it’s our role, as leaders in this industry, to listen and give credit where it’s ultimately due. As a creative business community, we build our entire future upon the strength of our integrity in our products and

services. Valuing the roles and contributions of everyone creating a masterpiece is foundational to our growth as an industry and a global creative community. The Theas “celebrate excellence.” How do you know excellence when you find it? Fri: When you’re forced to see the world and the opportunities for storytelling in a different way, that’s when you know you’re witnessing excellence. New adoptions of off-the-shelf technology to amplify the stories; new technologies that disrupt how we view the world; creative problem solving when using limited space or budgets; and bearing witness to “How’d they do that” moments that jolt us from our very smart and seasoned pedestals to a place of true awe…that’s when the spark happens. We love those moments, and when they happen, it’s magic that you can’t ignore. The Committee is a sizeable and very dedicated team. Why are you (and they) willing to commit your time, talent and energy to this process? Fri: At some point, you realize that it is an honor AND choice to show up authentically in the spaces we occupy. While it does require a lot of dedication outside of our respective careers, I know I speak for the committee when I say that it is a privilege and responsibility to champion excellence seen and unseen, to bring our unique perspectives to the decision process and a responsibility to the future of our industry, that we believe in. Why is it important for people to nominate projects, people and technologies for the Thea Awards? Andy: By submitting a Thea award nomination, you are choosing to actively celebrate the passion,

work, and dedication put forth to bring a creative vision to life. Regardless of its final judging, every nomination is a chance to acknowledge the fantastic people and teams involved in the complex symphony of creation we all respect and love. I encourage everyone to search for excellence in our industry and acknowledge the passion you see with a Thea nomination. Andy, tell us about the singular perspective you bring to the role of Thea Awards Judging Committee Chair, as a designer working on the operator’s side. One of my favorite aspects of this role with the Committee is how it intersects with my regular job the focus is on discovering and celebrating how we interact with guests in a significant, heartfelt, and emotional way. The guest is at the core of our daily mission and business in this amazing industry. We should always recognize our collective abilities and skills to craft lasting, multi-generational memories that live well beyond our projects and person. Andy, you’ll be chairing the Committee on the 30th anniversary of the Thea Awards. What will be some special ways TEA will mark three decades of the Theas? You’ll have to wait and see….

History of the TEA Thea Awards

The establishment of the TEA Thea Awards as the preeminent award program recognizing excellence in themed entertainment projects was seminal to the recognition of themed entertainment as a professional industry. The Theas shine a bright light on the industry and its leaders, fabricators and creative geniuses who make themed entertainment magic. -- Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) Founder Monty Lunde, Technifex

TEA created the Thea Awards to bring recognition to achievement, talent and excellence within the themed entertainment industry. The Thea Awards began in 1994 with a single Lifetime Achievement Award, and the first honoree was Harrison “Buzz” Price, a pioneer in entertainment feasibility. Monty Lunde, Bob Rogers, Pat Scanlon and Barry Howard were on the first Thea Awards organizational and judging committee. The Thea Awards were named in reference to three words:

The third year (1996) saw the introduction of Awards for Outstanding Achievement (AOA). Ten AOAs were bestowed. The Thea Classic category was created in 1997. It can be given to one achievement per year that has stood the test of time. Also in 1997, the AOA category of Excellence on a Limited Budget was created, to celebrate outstanding achievements under $10 million.

•“Theater” - derived from the goddess Thea

For 2014-2015, new Wizarding World of Harry Potter attractions at Universal Studios prompted the TEA Thea Awards Judging Committee to create the Paragon Award, which recognizes a project that sets a new bar of excellence.

•“TEA” - the acronym referring to our Association

Since 2017, numerous projects have been honored

•“Thea” - the Greek goddess from whom all light emanates

The original Thea trophies were designed by Barry Howard and Jeremy Railton. The current Thea trophy debuted in 2001 and was designed by Zofia Kostryko. The first year’s ceremony, held at the Biltmore Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, was produced by Ron Miziker and coordinated by Jana Love, with TEA founder Monty Lunde serving as master of ceremonies. The 1995 Thea Awards also took place at the Biltmore, again with a single honoree: the late Marty Sklar (an official Disney Legend). After Buzz Price passed away in 2010, TEA renamed the Thea Lifetime Achievement Award in his honor. It is

now called the Buzz Price Thea Award - Recognizing a Lifetime of Distinguished Achievements.

within the new Thea Award category, “Connected Immersion,” recognizing that tremendous advances in technology, social behavior and connectivity are reinventing our notion of storytelling and immersion. Introduced in 2021, with the first two recipients honored in 2022 as part of the 28th annual Thea Awards cycle, was the Thea Catalyst Award, recognizing individuals who have made recent, notable contributions to the industry. The Thea Awards also reflect the global expansion of our industry, and the geographic coverage has grown accordingly, with the Committee continuing its efforts each year to span the globe.

AT THE HEART OF IT ALL Located in the themed entertainment capital of the world, the University of Central Florida in Orlando offers a graduate program that prepares students for the creative career of their dreams. Themed Experience at UCF takes an interdisciplinary approach to teaching the necessary skills for industry success. Internships, site visits, and networking events ensure that students connect with the leaders of the industry.

Further your creative career at UCF in Orlando. Students at UCF receive unique opportunities to make connections with industry leaders. Advisory council members include: Peter Weishar, UCF founding director Patrick Brennan, Castle Arts and faculty member Steve Birket, Birket Engineering Juliette Feld-Grossman, Feld Entertainment Pat Gallagher, Orlando Magic Basketball Denise Hatcher, AOA Cecil Magpuri, Falcon’s Beyond Merrill Puckett Miller, Herschend Enterprises David Stofcik, Walt Disney Imagineering Bob Ward, Robert L. Ward, Inc. Mike West, Innovative West, Inc.

It should be noted that the Thea Awards are not by any means confined to theme parks. Museums and museum exhibitions, heritage centers, casinos, multimedia spectaculars, brand experiences, theatrical productions and many other types of attractions and guest experiences - some yet to be invented or discovered - fall into the realm of projects that may be eligible for Thea Awards. The TEA Peter Chernack Distinguished Service Award recipient is also recognized at this time. This award was created and is decided by the TEA Past Presidents Committee, and was renamed in honor of the late Peter Chernack, a TEA Past President who was instrumental in conceiving this award. In 2020 and 2021, the realities of the global pandemic prevented us from being able to gather in person. Although the big Summit and Gala weekend could not take place, TEA determined that the Thea Awards cycle should continue uninterrupted, with the submissions and judging process going forward and the community gathering to honor the recipients via an online platform. The virtual Thea Awards Case Studies were a success in 2020 and 2021. TEA also continued to publish the official Thea Awards Program online during this period. In 2022, TEA once again welcomed the global industry community in person to the Thea Awards Gala and TEA Summit conference (now TEA INSPIRE) at the Disneyland Hotel in Anaheim, California. The culture of the Thea Awards is unique. Here are some key characteristics: • The honoree is the project itself – Thea AOA and Thea Classic awards honor the entire achievement. The trophy is awarded to the project owner. • Official project credits – The project owner is obliged to furnish a comprehensive credits list for publication by TEA. In this way the Thea Awards

have resulted in the first official project credits of the themed entertainment industry, and shed light on the complexity and true nature of these projects and the creative collaboration that produces them. • Trophies for the team – Individuals and companies named on the official credits list of a Thea-honored project are entitled to obtain their own trophies from TEA. • No set categories – The TEA is free to honor several achievements in the same category, create a new category, or to skip categories as the year’s achievements warrant. • No secrets – Award recipients are openly announced in November, and the awards are formally presented the following spring at the Thea Awards Gala. • Open nominations – Anyone can nominate a project for a Thea Award. It is not necessary to be a TEA member. You can nominate your own project. The objective is simple: To find excellence and celebrate it. As we look to the future, the Thea Awards will continue to grow and evolve, while continuing to honor the original objective of bringing recognition to achievement, talent and professional excellence within our themed entertainment industry.

How to Create a Thea Award Submission The Themed Entertainment Association’s annual TEA Thea Awards recognize excellence and innovation in the themed entertainment and international visitor attractions industry. Each year, hundreds of submissions are received and considered by the TEA Thea Awards Judging Committee for outstanding destination attractions, breakthrough technology, event spectaculars, cultural attractions or guest experiences, as well as for individuals who have made their mark on the industry. The pandemic obliged our industry to rethink and reinvent projects in many creative ways. We’re looking to find and celebrate the brilliance of those re-inventive experiences and more, from around the globe. Submissions info for 2023 The submissions period for the 30th annual Thea Awards judging cycle runs May 1-July 7, 2023.

To be eligible for submission, a project must have opened during this timeframe: July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2023. After submissions close, the Thea Awards Judging Committee begins its extensive review and judging period. The slate of recipients will be announced in November 2023, and awards formally presented in Spring 2024 at the annual TEA Thea Awards Gala. For more information, see below, and visit the TEA website at www.teaconnect.org. Did you know? • You can submit your own project, event or technology • Anyone may create a submission - whether or not a member of TEA • Submissions for lifetime achievement honorees, the Thea Classic Award and the Thea Catalyst Award are also welcome How to prepare a Thea Award submission

Innovator, visionary and a true trailblazer of our industry. With the Buzz Price Award, the theme park community recognises a lifetime of distinguished achievements. From your family and all your work colleagues – we are proud of your accomplishments so far and excited to see what’s yet to come!

Roland Mack, Founder and Managing Partner, Europa-Park The Buzz Price Thea Award Recognizing a Lifetime of Distinguished Achievements A showman of the seventh generation, Roland Mack is not done yet By Chip Cleary, Senior Consultant, Europa-Park, and friend If there ever was a person in our industry who was born to be in this industry, it would be Roland Mack. Roland Mack’s parents’ house was located right on the grounds of the Mack Rides Factory in Waldkirch, Germany. And as a young boy, Roland took full advantage of riding on all the colorful rides and constructions Mack Rides was building. One of our favorite stories from this era was that Roland was the first person in his family to take English lessons at school. From age 12, after school Roland would be the one called to the phone when an English-speaking person was needed. His English was so good - and no one ever asked him how old he was. That little story is still told to insiders today. Growing up at Mack Rides, it was pretty well forged into Roland’s destiny that he would study to be an engineer and one day follow in his father Franz Mack’s footsteps. For those who may not know, Roland is a seventh-generation leader of the Macks, who started in 1780 making wagons and stagecoaches, and in the early 1900s began making amusement rides. Our story now moves to 1972, when Roland and his father took an historic first step in creating EuropaPark, with a trip to California to visit Disneyland. At the time there were not a lot of theme parks in Germany, although every major town had some sort of Oktoberfest or other festival. It was an era of showmen, who brought elaborate rides and decorations to each event. Roland and his father both felt there was an opportunity to build a park in the Black Forest region of Germany, about 40 minutes from their factory, that could also serve as a living showroom for their rides. They thought they would start out small, and every year add something. Little did they know this dream would grow into a world-class theme

park resort - currently with two parks, six hotels, campgrounds and first-rate food and entertainment, and attendance in the range of 6 million guests per year and still growing. But not everyone was convinced at first that this park would succeed. In the early days, there were a lot of doubters. However, the Macks kept investing each year, creating from the beginning a park that was built in a highly detailed and high-quality manner. The doubters were soon silenced, when in the park’s opening year - 1975 – attendance was 250,000, increasing to 700,000 in the second year, and passing the one-million mark in 1978. When Europa-Park opened, it followed the pattern of many European parks in that era with lavish gardens and water features, but Roland knew he also wanted to pursue a distinct theme for his park, and the first country-themed section was "Italy," which debuted in 1982. Like most of the original themed areas at

Europa-Park, it was designed by Ulrich Damrau, a German film set designer who, supported by Roland’s drive and determination, went on to add country after country. The European theme was an instant hit and Roland’s detailed eye realized that the food and shows in each area needed to be authentic and held to a high standard of quality. It is safe to say that Europa-Park was not a masterplanned resort. Rather, it is a resort that is so full of details and personality, and staying so true to the original mission of celebrating the experiment of the European Union, that it creates its own energy - with

small streets, and 15 lovingly and highly detailed European Countries. And it keeps growing. A new land, themed on the country of Croatia, will be opening in 2024. Roland and his wife Marianne worked at the park every day and invested everything they made back into the park. It was - for sure in those early days not glamorous, but their three children - Michael, Thomas and Ann-Kathrin - now all hold leadership positions in the park. The Mack family business now has an eighth generation in place.

Roland’s younger brother, Jürgen Mack, has long been the financial person in the company, working to support Roland’s decisions on what’s next. The company is for sure a family-run business in every way, and it is the strength and bedrock of what the company is built on. Roland has always been an innovator and leader of trends in anything he touches. But it has not always been easy. Roland felt the future of the Europa-Park Resort was to expand into hospitality to support a longer guest stay and extend the season. He spent a great deal of effort to realize this vision, and in 1995 the El Andaluz hotel opened. From there, the Macks never looked back, and the resort now boasts six magnificent hotels. "Work hard, play hard" has always been a motto of Roland and the Macks, though they don’t always agree on everything at first. When El Andaluz was built, it would be fair to say Franz Mack was worried about this development. So, during the construction of the hotel when Roland went on vacation, Franz

took a razor blade and cut off the top floor of the hotel plans, to make the construction a little less costly. He insisted on planning a new ride opening as backup in case the hotel did not succeed. Roland is always thinking about his next move, and in 2019 a long-planned, spectacular indoor water park, Rulantica, made its debut to great reviews for its groundbreaking design and selection of water rides that brought something unique to the German market. The acceptance of Rulantica by guests has been so strong that already two impressive expansions have been added.

details. But he has a unique talent for getting one good point out of every conversation. Everything he learns is put to work enriching the guest experience. The Mack Family and our approximately 5,000 Team Members are so thrilled to see Roland receive the Buzz Price Thea Award, Recognizing a Lifetime of Distinguished Achievements. The body of his work is already so compelling - but all of us know he is not done yet!

Roland Mack is a family man – and family businessman - in all ways. He spends a great deal of time in his parks and hotels, always asking his guests what they want to see next. He is famous for saying “You have to like people to be in this business.” He is beloved by guests. When planning a new attraction or hotel, he talks to so many guests that it can be challenging to keep up with all his

The Main Street Electrical Parade Disneyland, Anaheim, California, USA Thea Classic Award

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, BOYS AND GIRLS! TO ALL WHO COME TO THIS HAPPY PLACE, DISNEYLAND PROUDLY PRESENTS OUR SPECTACULAR FESTIVAL PAGEANT OF NIGHTTIME MAGIC AND IMAGINATION IN THOUSANDS OF SPARKLING LIGHTS AND ELECTRO-SYNTHO-MAGNETIC MUSICAL SOUND, THE MAIN STREET ELECTRICAL PARADE!” And the crowd goes crazy in delight to the first few notes of the “Baroque Hoedown”! The Main Street Electrical Parade, created by Executive Producer Robert Jani and Project Director Ron Miziker, recently marked its 50th anniversary, having made its debut on June 17th, 1972. Like something out of a bizarre but wonderful dream, the parade features floats and live performers, covered in roughly half a million colored lights, and employs a first of its kind, synchronized soundtrack, triggered by radio control, along key zones on the Parade Route. This much-adored parade originated in Disneyland California, but different versions have made long running appearances at other Disney parks with some variations on the name, including Disney California Adventure Park, The Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida, Tokyo Disneyland,

and Disneyland Paris. Much to the thrill of Disneyland fans, it returns continually to its birthplace in California with both technical and theme updates, including its latest Finale float celebrating the Children around the World, featuring a selection of recent Disney star characters such as Mulan, Coco, Tiana, Moana and Raya. Consider these amazing statistics: • 50+ YEARS of performances, from June 1972 to the

present

• 80-100 performers per show • 90+ different float designs • 50+ songs and melodies

• 300,000,000 estimated viewers

• Countless number of Fans who know the song and can

hum that synth sound!

For a summer 2009 promotion at Disney California Adventure Park, a new Tinker Bell float was created to lead the parade, with pixie dust enhancements added throughout the lineup. Tinker Bell replaced the Blue Fairy float, which had led the parade since 1972. When Main Street Electrical Parade returned to Disneyland Park for limited runs in 2017 and 2019, the Train and Drum led the way, with Tinker Bell taking her place as part of the Peter Pan unit. The new finale created for the 50th anniversary of Main Street Electrical Parade in 2022 features several tributes to the parade’s past, including the return of the Blue Fairy character from Pinocchio, the iconic score composed in electro-syntho-magnetic musical sound, and a 19-foot-tall version of Sleeping Beauty Castle. Parade background courtesy Dave Smith, Disney Archives The Thea Awards Judging Committee agrees that this is the parade that defined “fantastical” and set the bar for all other great theme park parades. That is why the Committee’s unanimous choice for this year’s Thea Classic Award is The Main Street Electrical Parade! Additional, historic information provided by Disney: Main Street Electrical Parade - changes over the years

The Main Street Electrical Parade played during summers at Disneyland beginning on June 17, 1972, and ending November 25, 1996. The parade, featuring half a million tiny lights on floats themed primarily to Disney movies, became one of the most beloved traditions at Disneyland. The park’s lights were dimmed, and the illuminated parade snaked from a gate next to “it’s a small world,” past the

Since debuting in summer 1972, the Main Street Electrical Parade has seen a number of changes to its lineup of colorful floats. The iconic Train and Drum unit and the Cinderella court dancers have been part of the parade for 50 years, while other units have come and gone. The parade’s original 1972 finale featured a series of small floats, including drums carrying favorite Disney characters. The original Main Street Electrical Parade went on hiatus in 1975 for the two-year Bicentennial celebration at Disneyland and returned in 1977, fully reimagined with new, dimensional floats and a new finale unit complete with mirrors and neon-lit depictions of Disney characters. The parade’s finale changed once again in 1979, when the 108-foot-long flag and eagle float was introduced. During 1980, Disneyland added a special float reproducing Sleeping Beauty Castle in honor of the park’s 25th Anniversary celebration.

Matterhorn, skirted the hub, and then continued down Main Street to conclude at Town Square. The parade’s synthesizer music was based on a piece called “Baroque Hoedown,” with themes from Disney songs worked in. The parade did not run in 1975 and 1976 because of America on Parade for the Bicentennial,

but it returned in 1977 with a whole new edition. A 108-foot-long “Honor America” finale unit was added in 1979. During 1980, there was a special unit reproducing Sleeping Beauty Castle in honor of the park’s 25th anniversary. The parade did not run during the summers of 1983 or 1984.

The Thea Catalyst Awards The Thea Catalyst Award is timely, relevant and responsive to current events and trends. The award recognizes individuals who have made an impact within our industry now, or very recently, without regard to length of career - a real and positive impact that inspires and/or empowers those who create compelling places and experiences. Comments from Fri Forjindam, Chair of the 29th annual Thea Awards Judging Committee: “The Thea Catalyst Award highlights one of the many steps the Committee is taking towards recognizing excellence and broadening the conversation to include and celebrate individuals, not just projects, whose impact will forever change how we experience themed entertainment. This award, like the Committee's mission, is to nurture and model greater inclusion within the TEA and our industry, with consideration given to individuals representing diversity in age, gender, region and ethnicity. Our industry's most prestigious award - the Thea - now includes the opportunity for anyone whose work influences shapes what we do.

in the field of informal science education, plus her current roles as Chair of AAM, the world’s largest museum association, and first woman and Black American to lead MSI Chicago is a mic drop in itself. “As the first BIPOC woman to chair the Thea Awards, the significance and convergence of this milestone is not lost on me, and in 2023, should not reflect a pat on the back, but rather reinforce our commitment to INSPIRE the next generation of storytellers. THAT is why the Catalyst Award is so important and urgent. By highlighting impact in creative storytelling as well as business and leadership, the award will continue to reflect the committee’s belief that career influence and inspiration can come from anywhere and anyONE.”

“Last year’s honorees - Carmen Smith and Sina Bahram - set a high bar, demonstrating what it means to commit to disrupting design narratives by promoting true inclusivity across a broad spectrum of immersive experiences and cultural attractions. In its second year, the Thea Catalyst Award continues in that tradition with Susana Tubert and Chevy Humphrey. “Susana’s trailblazing spirit and multiple accomplishments from her work with the Latino International Theatre Festival of New York to Walt Disney World Company have influenced the creation of brilliant theatrical experiences that we’ve come to know and love. Chevy’s tenure as a global leader

Chevy Humphrey President & CEO Museum of Science & Industry, Chicago Chair of the Board, American Alliance of Museums

Thea Catalyst Award

For more than three decades, Chevy Humphrey has made it her mission to create transformational learning experiences that entertain while helping people understand and navigate the role of science in their lives. Working with local and global communities, she combines innovation, collaboration, and engagement to enable widespread access to high-quality experiences and the execution of next-level management of organizations. Chevy’s esteemed career includes leadership positions at The Phoenix Symphony, Houston Symphony, University of Houston, and The University of Texas at Austin. When she was named President and CEO of Arizona Science Center in 2005, she became the first Black American to lead a science center in the United States. In January 2021, she became the first woman and first Black American to lead the Museum of Science and Industry (MSI) in Chicago. A native of Houston, Chevy inherited from her parents a deep commitment to advancing and serving the community. Even as a young child, Chevy was aware of the disparities in children’s access to resources. Understanding that the school she was bused to was more academically advanced than the school her friends in the neighborhood attended, Chevy started in her garage what was essentially an afterschool program. Every afternoon there, she shared with neighborhood kids what she had learned that day in school. Doing so shaped her way of thinking about what is possible and framed a lifelong commitment to equality and providing an opportunity to learn. This pattern of elevating and encouraging others has been a lifelong endeavor. At the helm of MSI, Chevy leads her team to develop meaningful connections with communities by designing innovative experiences and exhibits that educate and expose the full range of science fields. Chevy has also mentored countless numbers of young people, staff members, and organizational leaders around the world. She is especially passionate about mentoring young women and has helped scores of women advance their leadership skills and careers. In addition to her role at MSI, Chevy serves on the boards of several nonprofit, philanthropic, and civic leadership

organizations, including the Argonne National Laboratory, Grand Canyon Education, Inc., Helios Education Foundation, the Sandra Day O’Connor Institute, and The Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library. Chevy holds an MBA from Northeastern University, with specializations in Marketing and Entrepreneurship and Innovation. She is the recipient of an honorary Doctor of Science and Technology degree from the University of Advancing Technology.

Absurdities Vol. 1 by ANDSOFORTH - Singapore Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement Immersive Dining Experience, Limited Budget

On a street corner in the bustling traditional neighborhood of Farrer Park, the chic Asylum Coffeehouse transforms at night into the first scene of the Absurdities dining experience. Each 30 minutes a group of eight guests starts their experience, which will last approximately two hours across six courses. Each scene is set up to defy expectations, with surprising transitions, mysterious or transforming dishes, served in incongruous spaces by performers that both guide the guests and inhabit the spaces. The first scene/course in the coffee shop serves as a welcome, including a garden bowl and Sun wine, with a performer setting up that we need to pick the correct door to get to our next stop. Once found, the door opens on a neon kaleidoscope space, at the end of which a hidden door opens on the second scene, the Tree of Old. Here guests sit amongst the huge roots of the tree, which also serve as tables. A zebra-suited comedian engages with the guests in a guessing game as to what are the mysterious ingredients of the delicious dish. It turns out the burger and fries is not made of anything that goes into a burger or fries.

The journey of incongruities proceeds in this fashion, touching all the senses and keeping guests smiling with the marriage of clever set design, physical mysteries, witty cultural references and innovative in-story dishes, right down to the dessert. To say that Absurdities is an unusual dining experience is an understatement. It’s more Alice in Wonderland than any other dinner - whimsical and delightfully confusing. The experience uses a unique model: rotating small groups of diners into small, distinct sets with actors telling a story for each course, with touches of escape room. But it is also very challenging. Each dish was carefully crafted by the creators of the experience to serve the story of surprise and misdirection, so nothing is off-the-shelf. The dishes must be ready with every quick pulse of the guests, arrive warm and ready at the perfect time, with the proper amount of story context. Absurdities is done with great spirit and high quality throughout.

the power behind the story

Beaudry Interactive – Diva Real-Time Control Suite of Tools - Los Angeles, California, USA ®

Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement Technological Innovation of Industry Significance

The Diva system is a suite of hardware and software tools for performer-driven, real-time control of design elements and guest interactions in a live environment. These can be anything from a puppet, lights, media elements, scenic elements, etc. Performers have been able to use this to exercise control through gestures, or through poses, depending what the story or the controlled item requires. When the power to control the show is given to the performer, it can take interaction to new levels. Diva tools were recently used to enliven Big Bird interactions at Sesame Place San Diego. Utilizing a new pose-based gesture system, Diva now allows puppeted, walk-around characters to talk to and interact with guests using the authentic voices of each character. Through easy gestures and poses, the performer can cue and trigger pre-recorded sound bites in the moment, with no need for a prescribed cue list. The character can walk around and interact with guests anywhere in the park, untethered. David Beaudry and his team at Beaudry Interactive (founded in 2006) have spent many years developing this unique set

of technologies. Diva has three main parts: tools for realtime control and manipulation of design elements in live performance environment; tools for sensing and analyzing what a performer is doing in a live performance environment; and tools that allow designers to map actions and behavior to creative intent. Over time, the capabilities of Diva have grown beyond the stage to enhance guest engagement within theme parks, TV game shows, cultural and educational institutions, and public spaces. The Diva Control Suite was inspired by and is inspiring our industry. The storytellers of our industry wished for a way to experiment with performers having control, and an innovator responded. The technology inspired the design of new shows, which in turn called for more technological invention. What began as a tool to control audio elements became used for much more, and these tools are now perfectly integrated in multiple shows, and accessible to everyone. Beaudry Interactive was one of the first to get into this space – we commend their leadership and innovation as well as the product itself.

Chasseurs de Tornades - Futuroscope Park, Jaunay-Marigny, France Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement - Attraction

“Chasseurs de Tornades” (Tornado Chasers) opened in 2022 at Futuroscope Park. As the story goes, the audience is invited to visit the park’s new scientific center dedicated to extreme weather studies. The 40-minute experience begins as guests enter a walkthrough, laboratory-themed environment where they meet Melanie, a young scientist and Alex, a tornado chaser, working on their next mission.

display (eight meters high, and with an area of 470 square meters), with powerful theatrical effects, and retractable screens to accommodate live action, the audience is plunged into the adventure of Melanie and Alex who are chasing the tornado, determined to quell it. Things come to a close with dramatic images of damage and debris around Futuroscope as guests return to base, mission accomplished.

After exploring the scientists’ workspaces via a series of sets with background information in media displays, guests enter the test center, a room equipped with a holographic installation and a vibrating floor. Here, the scientists introduce their inventions: TrombX, a probe designed to neutralize tornadoes, and Bully, the souped-up device used to launch it.

This show combines an original, consistent and very exciting story with spectacular situations and thrilling effects based on very innovative technologies, notably the unique vehicle in which the heroes cross the park, and the motion system, which, based on three powerful mechanic and hydraulic cylinders, masters the large floor permitting the seats to go up and down, incline and rotate at the speed of 30km/h. Anchoring the story in the Park itself is a clever approach that helps suspend disbelief, and a tornado-themed attraction is simply a great fit for a park that is devoted to the combination of amusement, emotion and knowledge.

Suddenly the presentation is interrupted by the Doppler radar alarm. A tornado is looming, and guests are led to shelter in the conference room (actually a sophisticated, 120-seat motion theater.) Buckled into their seats and surrounded by super high-resolution imagery on a very large cylindrical

The Irish Racehorse Experience, Irish National Stud & Gardens Co. - Kildare, Ireland Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement - Museum, Limited Budget

The Irish Racehorse Experience takes the visitor on a personalized journey tracing the story of an Irish thoroughbred horse, from yearling through coming-of-age. Through interaction with industry experts, this experience provides an insider’s guide to the fascinating world of being an owner, a foaling manager, or a thoroughbred trainer – and the respect, knowledge, responsibilities, and dedication that go with those roles. The 6,500 square foot facility is nestled in a beautiful garden setting where, first-hand, visitors can view yearlings and famous horses in the Living Legends paddock. The objective is to engage expert and non-expert visitors alike by immersing them in the excitement and thrill of horse ownership and professional horse racing. Throughout the various exhibits,

visitors from around the world are engaged in compelling, hands-on, interactive experiences thanks to multisensory technologies and audio guides in their individual languages. At the culmination of their visit, visitors have the opportunity to form groups for the “Big Race,” test their competitive spirit and find out if their horse is a winning thoroughbred. This takes the form of an interactive, digital game in which visitors play jockey on mechanical horses, paired with imagery on a large, curved screen to simulate a race. Each visitor rides their own selected horse to the finish line. The experience is given realism through actual reciprocating motions of the mechanical horse’s head, hand grips, and seat. The Irish Racehorse Experience uniquely showcases an industry that very few people have had the privilege to know.

JUMP by Limitless Flight - Bluffdale, Utah, USA Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement - Connected Immersion

JUMP opened in May 2022. After arrival and check-in, Pilot Guests get tips in a pre-flight video and enter one of two bays to put on their wingsuits, and adjustable helmets with integrated VR display. After a free-fall jump, they set off to explore. The ride system allows free-range control of direction and steering through cliff tops and tree lines, in a 180-degree, high-resolution, realistic digital landscape. Eventually guests deploy their parachutes, glide to the ground and de-suit to and go view the flight playback. The experience is approximately 40 minutes from check-in to leaving with a v-log of the flight. The team worked to provide the best possible experience for all levels of guest mobility. Their FAQ carefully outlines, for wheelchair-related inquiries, the amount of unassisted movement required for the experience. JUMP opens up the possibility of some thrilling and soaring experiences for challenged riders.

JUMP makes the most of best-in-class technology for a wicked-clever, impactful merger of physical experience with sophisticated flying control - the best-yet integration of VR into a physical guest experience. It delivers a weightless jump off a cliff, the rush of the wind, the wind engaging with the wings of your suit, the sense of controlling the direction and forward motion of your own travel as you soar over Utah until the moment your chute engages and you steer into an effortless and safe landing. To incentivize repeat ridership, the pricing model makes successive jumps less expensive. Its stellar development team has not missed any gamification strategies. JUMP is a whole new hyperreal, multi-sensory experience, combining live elements with guided free flight with top-notch graphic quality VR - an unparalleled, hyperreal experience. It might be the thus-far elusive, killer application of VR that brings it into the mainstream of guest-engaging immersive experiences.

Jurassic World Adventure - Universal Studios Beijing, Beijing, China Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement - Attraction

With Universal rebooting its Jurassic Park franchise as Jurassic World in 2015 – releasing three hit movies so far – it was time to apply the successful, cinematic brand pivot to its global theme park empire. With the creation of Universal Studios Beijing, an entire land was dedicated to this epic adventure series, giving designers a clean slate to create a new kind of immersive environment themed on the new marquee attraction. The existing River Adventures provided inspiration, but having the action unfold on dry land, and all indoors, supported creating a novel adventure, with full theatrical control. Having perfected their roving motion-base technology - first created for the (largely 3D-projected) Adventures of SpiderMan and Transformers attractions - Universal now opted for a more tangible, physical experience. The carefully protected audience view shed of these vehicles supports a highly

directed, intimate experience without the need for 3D glasses. Massive physical sets feature integrated 2D moving-eye-point media, and of course, giant dinosaurs. Jurassic World Adventure also takes animated dinos to a whole new level, with a scale and impact that directly affect the dynamics of the experience (an Ankylosaurus bashes the vehicle and causes it to spin out of control, an overhead battle between a Tyrannosaurus Rex and Indominous Rex seems far too close for comfort...) But the game-changing, industry first is a full-size, walking Indominus Rex that actually chases the riders. This ingenious design puts the massive dino animatronic on the same track system as the ride vehicle, creating a hair-raising face-to-face reverse chase unlike any dino encounter in any ride or attraction, anywhere. This attraction raises the bar for animatronic dark rides, creating a whole new breed of epic thrills.

Particle Ink: Speed of Dark - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement - Immersive Live Experience

Particle Ink takes the guest into the vivid story of an artist and his wife who have lost their child, and must face their inner fears and sorrows to rediscover joy through art. The venue is a converted garage in an industrial area. The garage door opens, and guests enter and discover various spaces with a riot of homebuilt sculptures and art. We meet the main character - the father - at the crib of his lost child. A tiny spark of magic and imagination appears and proceeds to transform into the delightful sprite of a child, in what is called the “2.5th dimension.” From this point the show takes to every surface in street art fashion, with projections and clever handoffs and interactions. As the couple struggle to reclaim joy, the scenes flow from room to alcove to walls and floors with acrobatics, performances, puppetry and dance. Partway through the show a new larger room is revealed, in which the darker moments, a big battle and the joyful finale occur. In two moments of pause, the audience is invited to roam around the space and play with interactive art installations. The total experience is approximately 60 minutes.

This is literally a show in a garage, and while it shows its humble origins with pride, it quickly transcends that with magical moments. The set design is rich and eclectic to begin with, but the media totally transforms it, enabling the same spaces to be used multiple times. The audience is very actively engaged as the show moves them from set to set, whether roaming, standing, or sitting, as well as interactively participating. Surprise and delight are key parts of this touching show, which features an astounding amount of original media; it is practically an animated feature in its own right, strikingly styled and highly interactive. Many simple but effective theatrical gags and touches are timed to media for moving story moments, and reactive media supports the actors’ performance perfectly. The energetic, young and highly emotional soundtrack composition is supported by a powerful and clear audio system.

QUAKE - Lisbon Earthquake Center, Lisbon, Portugal Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement Historical Experience, Limited Budget

Many people do not realize that one of the most destructive earthquakes in the West occurred more than a quarter of a millennium ago, in the city of Lisbon on November 1, 1755, destroying most of the city’s buildings, streets, and squares. The earthquake was followed by a tsunami and raging fires, which changed the face of Lisbon forever. The 18,000 square foot, 90-minute, walk-through “Quake” historical experience recreates this event and much more, with nine timed and show-controlled scenes. Quake challenges guests to unlock the knowledge about the 1755 earthquake, to journey back in time to re-live the event. Starting in an abandoned laboratory, they are introduced to a professor. Their mission is to travel back in time to recover important missing documents. Walking through the lost city, they re-visit its horrors and wonders, and the drama unfolds around them. They get the opportunity to meet the heroes and villains from that time and experience being at the heart of the earthquake itself, eventually leading to a major political, scientific, and historical transformation.

The Quake journey is brought to life through state-of-the-art projection mapping, integrated media screens, interactive exhibits, special effects (smoke, scents), immersive show lighting, highly themed environments, simulator effects and a beautifully composed soundtrack, all on a limited budget. While the story revolves around the actual events and adheres to authenticity, it takes visitors by the hand and fully engages them on an emotional level. The Quake team consulted with local academic experts to ensure historical and scientific accuracy as well as educational relevance. Quake strikes an excellent balance between education and entertainment, active and passive participation, and ride, show, and exhibit scenes. It achieves this balance while seamlessly weaving historical, scientific, and cultural facts into an outstanding, story-driven, and unique visitor experience.

Shanghai Astronomy Museum - Shanghai, China Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement - Science Center

A star of Shanghai’s sprawling new Pudong District is the brand-new Shanghai Astronomy Museum. From afar, its structure appears celestial and extraterrestrial, and one can only stand in awe of its otherness; up close, its facade comprises winding architectural ribbons, no straight lines, and three salient design components: the Oculus, Inverted Dome, and Sphere. The world’s largest astronomy museum spans a total area of 38,164 square meters and utilizes bold, immersive spaces and imaginative experiences to exhibit astronomy, with the intent to make this ‘hard science’ engaging and personal to visitors of all ages. It houses both permanent and temporary exhibitions, and research facilities in addition to its public spaces. Three foundational, existential questions: “Where are we?”; “Where did we come from?”; and “Where are we going?” sparked the backstory to over 300 exhibits in three galleries aptly named “Home,” “Universe,” and “Journey.” In framing the contents of its exhibits around the three questions, paired with three “Look at Earth” moments, the storytelling becomes intensely meaningful and intimate. It speaks to personal,

professional, and national aspirations of grasping the unknowns within space, and exploring the universe. Notably, the Museum also contains a 720-degree spiraling ramp in its interior, state-of-the-art giant screen theater and planetarium systems, and a 24-meter-high solar telescope. Each exhibit’s design fully capitalizes on the opportunities afforded by the museum’s architectural features. Each space, whether it be a long corridor, narrow space, bridge, or dome, is carefully and purposefully crafted for the exhibit, and the museum itself is rife with symbolism. Visitors are encouraged to momentarily forget the limitations of space and time, leaving reality and Earth behind as their perspective is enlarged. The proportion of original exhibits in Shanghai Astronomy Museum is as high as 85%, with more than 50% being interactive. For example, a Theory of Relativity interactive exhibit uses a grid pattern on its walls and floors which visitors can step onto and press to “warp” space-time. The museum thus creates said meaning for visitors by integrating cuttingedge technology with the latest science and physics.

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser - Walt Disney World Resort, Orlando, Florida, USA Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement - Brand Experience

Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser at Walt Disney World Resort is a first-of-its-kind, multi-day immersive experience with interactive connected storytelling. It excels at taking a complex, branching narrative and making the story feel specific and personal for each guest, before threading everything back together for a climactic finale. It invites guests to play along at their own comfort level, with their friends and family. It begins at the Galactic Starcruiser Terminal near Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Guests check in for their voyage aboard the Halcyon starcruiser, enter a Launch Pod and see their everyday worlds fall away as they jump to hyperspace and draw closer to the starship. When the Launch Pod docks, guests step into the ship’s main deck Atrium to begin their journey. Over the course of their stay, guests have a chance to explore this magnificent ship and become the heroes of their own Star Wars stories. The narrative takes place between blockbuster films “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” and “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” One hundred well-appointed cabins feature viewports out to space that continuously change throughout the journey. Guests also enjoy out-of-this-world dining and entertainment, experience Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in new ways, and discover some of the ship’s secrets. All is supported by state-of-the-art

technology with new, real-time imagery that runs through the whole starship. Guests’ choices determine their stories as they interact with characters such as Rey and Chewbacca, crew members, droids and other passengers. Guests may be asked to deliver a covert message, take part in a high-stakes heist, defend the ship or hide an ally. Guests can deepen their engagement by using the Play Disney Parks mobile app, as well as interacting with D3-O9, the ship’s Logistics Droid, via vidscreen. A key innovation that provides vital continuity is that live performers and crew members work two-night voyages, with a director in the background running the two days as live, immersive theater – so the characters and cast remain consistent for the whole journey. Other key features include the Databands, exclusive to the Starcruiser, connecting guests with their data on the ship. They allow guests to use simple taps to unlock cabins, participate in side missions, and more. This new adventure in a galaxy far, far away goes beyond anything Disney has created before. Disney’s Imagineering team is showcasing the future of immersive experiences for theme parks and attractions by focusing on how we change the way people play together, the way stories are told together (immersive theater), and how technology can support such experiences.

Underlandet - Liseberg Park, Gothenburg, Sweden Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement - Attraction, Limited Budget

With the grandest of goals for even the smallest of guests, Liseberg set out to create a timeless family dark ride – and succeeded. The Underland, (Underlandet) opened in 2021 after a 17-month covid closure of the park, represents its first dark ride addition in more than 50 years.

The top-hatted, evil, moustache-wearing antagonist, Måns Tråk, attempts to obstruct the rabbits’ progress at every turn, but in the end, the industrious rabbits persevere and as in all good children’s stories, the adventures culminate in a big party.

Guests are transported into a magical, underground setting below the park, home of the Green Rabbits, Liseberg’s furry rabbit family mascots. The attraction extends the storyline of these original, beloved Liseberg characters for the first time in their 40-year history at the park.

With its rich scenic environments, wonderfully immersive queue, lovable fuzzy animatronics and highly infectious soundtrack, the Underland creates a spellbinding world that Liseberg guests of all ages will find memorable. The attraction’s visual density and charming character inspire repeat ridership to capture all of its charming moments. The Liseberg team boldly chose to elevate its own existing park IP rather than an external brand, reinforcing its connection to the guests. The ride’s scope, superior execution, deft use of branding, and timeless character all warrant this recognition of excellence.

Guests are welcomed into the quirky, quaint, and carrotfilled home after utilizing a new virtual queue system. The highly themed dining room and kitchen queue are filled with everyday artifacts of rabbit life. A media-filled elevator next provides a magical ride underground. Guests board beautifully themed, glowing ride vehicles and travel through this magical world to observe just how these rabbits operate a secret, subterranean amusement park - growing vegetables, making ice cream, filling balloons, and powering the rides above.

Universal Studios Beijing - Beijing, China Thea Award For Outstanding Achievement - Theme Park

Despite the pandemic and perhaps the world’s most restrictive lockdown, after 20 years of preparation and planning, the highly anticipated Universal Studios Beijing Theme Park Resort opened in October 2021 as a watershed moment in the Chinese theme park industry. Its ambition, scale and uniform level of excellence have set a new, international standard for theme park destination development and guest experience. Created under the internal guideline of “global vision, international standards, distinctive Chinese features, and future-oriented goals,” the core Universal Beijing Resort covers 400 hectares and is part of a larger destination development (1,200 hectares) in the Tongzhou Cultural Tourism Zone. Universal Beijing Resort features Universal Studios Beijing theme park, Universal CityWalk Beijing, and two hotels, including Universal Studios Grand Hotel, the first-ever Universal-themed resort hotel. The park includes seven highly-themed, immersive lands with more than 37 cutting-edge attractions, rides, and landmarks; 24 shows and performances; 60 food & beverage venues and 30 retail stores - plus specially created experiences designed to honor and reflect China's rich cultural heritage. Universal Studios Beijing is also the world’s first theme park resort destination to earn LEED Gold certification.

The Beijing destination blends Eastern and Western cultures both literally and metaphorically in its partnerships, design, attractions, and environmental elements. This is a deep rethinking and culturally appropriate reinvention of the Universal brand. The mix includes several all-new attractions and immersive lands unique to China, along with select evergreen, global fan-favorite Universal rides, shows, attractions and characters (such as Harry Potter, Hollywood, Water World). Among these are Transformers Metrobase, the first Transformers-themed land in the world, featuring an expanded and completely fictionalized story with China as the backdrop; Jurassic World Isla Nublar, the legendary film franchise brought to life in a fully realized environment that includes the Jurassic World Adventure ride; Minion Land, the largest Minion-themed experience in the world, where guests meet characters and explore iconic locations from the blockbuster films. Also of note are the Kung Fu Panda Land of Awesomeness, Universal’s first Kung Fu Panda-themed land, entirely indoors and rich in traditional Chinese cultural elements; and the outstanding “Untrainable” live show based on How to Train Your Dragon, which uses a superb combination of large-scale puppetry, projections, animation, and live-action stunts. The park-wide entertainment program differentiates itself by integrating top Chinese IPs such as League of Legends in the parade and Honor of Kings Heroes LIVE. The live entertainment is performed almost entirely by the cast in Chinese, and features prominently in the programming to meet the Chinese audience preference for live shows. In bespoke merchandise, the Minions have a highly successful line inspired by the Chinese zodiac. In walkaround entertainment, the Transformers More than Meets the Eye featuring Megatron has been a viral hit, with live, stand-up comedy style interaction. Overall, Universal Studios Beijing has gone all-out to localize and cater to the Chinese audience throughout the property, including retail brands with local appeal, and a strong e-commerce presence targeting the Chinese Gen-Z market. Universal Studios Beijing has also taken the integration of technology to a new level with wide use of biometrics and facial recognition (AI) for entry (speed gates) and ticketing/ payments providing a seamless experience throughout the resort, and 5G technology.

Kevin Murphy and Peter Weishar TEA Peter Chernack Distinguished Service Award

Recognizing exceptional volunteer service to the Association, TEA Service Awards are recommended by the TEA Past Presidents Committee, which established the award. The recipients of the Service Award are honored during the annual Thea Awards Gala. The late TEA Past President Peter Chernack was instrumental in creating the TEA Service Award, and after he passed away in 2016, it was renamed to celebrate his contributions.

Kevin Murphy – TEA EME champion Senior VP Sales and Business Development, Kraftwerk Living Technologies Associate Director, Eden Projects International Over the years, Kevin has been a constant supporter and promoter of the TEA. He has spent ample time on the TEA Europe and Middle East Division Board of Directors, including the role of Board President. But outside those roles, whether or not serving on the Board, he has been continually involved with the organization, dating back to its earliest years. Kevin understands the concepts of service and giving back. He has volunteered his time on a variety of Committees within TEA and EME, such as the Membership and Events committees, and most recently the Nominations committee for EME. He is well respected by his fellow TEA members, and has been a consistent champion and friendly face of the Association, helping the community to grow and thrive by welcoming new members and looking after existing ones. Young Kevin Murphy started out in the UK civil service teaching electronics, followed by 10 years designing and working on audiovisual and interactive systems at the Natural History Museum (London). Through

his work at the Museum he became acquainted with Electrosonic founder Robert Simpson, joined the company in 1987 as a project manager, and stayed 20 years. He has been with Kraftwerk Living Technologies (KLT) since 2016. Like so many, once Kevin got to know the industry, he was hooked for life. Through projects and travel he built his network and in the 1990s began to be active within TiLE and TEA, groups with overlapping interests. Kevin has been integral to building up the TEA presence in the EME region. He is always more than willing to help out with organized events, whether or not they are events he is directly involved with. Simply put, he is a dedicated volunteer and has generously contributed tons of time and energy – as well as ideas, strategy and intelligence – that have served TEA, TEA EME and the TEA EME region over the years. We are pleased to see Kevin recognized for his years of outstanding service to the organization.

Peter Weishar – Education pioneer Director of Themed Experience, University of Central Florida President Emeritus, International Digital Media and Art Association Steering Committee Chair, Themed Experience and Attractions Academic Society Peter Weishar has been the founder of multiple university degree programs for themed entertainment, and a tireless promoter of the industry in general. He has helped forge important relationships between TEA and the academic community. Peter was key to the TEA SATE conference on Experience Design being hosted in 2013 at the Savannah College of Art & Design (SCAD), where he was Dean of Film, Digital Media, and Performing Arts. This established the custom of often convening SATE in partnership with an educational institution. The following year, as Dean of the College of Fine Arts at Florida State University, Peter hosted the 2014 SATE conference at the FSU Sarasota campus. Peter moved on to become the founding director of the Themed Experience graduate programs on the University of Central Florida (UCF) Orlando campus, where he continues to bring industry and academia together for the benefit of all, creating relevant educational programs with immediate currency.

together to present and review academic work and build meaningful curriculum. Peter’s support has had a direct and positive impact on the success of TEA’s outreach to students, and its ability to connect with the next generation of industry professionals.

Peter also cultivated a broader dialogue and network to help grow Themed Experience higher education at other colleges. Working with colleagues, he led development of the Themed Experience and Attractions Academic Symposium (TEAAS), now in its sixth year. TEAAS brings educators and students
