With this April issue, Amusement Today begins its 15th year of publishing. When the company was started back in 1997, there was no way of knowing the roller coaster ride that would be ahead. Slade Six Flags would be bought and sold multiple times. Paramount Parks would be sold. And who would have ever thought the Busch Gardens and SeaWorld properties would be under new ownership? And then there are the park closures. Opryland and AstroWorld were two that locals wish they had back, as were Miracle Strip, Bell’s and Geauga Lake to name a few. Just as fast as the parks changed hands, so did the supplier side. While Arrow may be the biggest name to be gone, others — from Chance to Vekoma — escaped through reorganization.

  • The Faith of Dolly Parton by Dudley Delffs
    Dudley’s book gives great insight into why so many people around the world love Dolly Parton. While Dolly is one of the biggest superstars, she has never forgotten who she is and where she came from and the faith that anchors her life. GOVERNOR OF TENNESSEE, Bill Haslam, and First Lady Crissy Haslam Three amazing strands of stories are woven into this fabu- lous book, The Faith of Dolly Parton by Dudley Delffs. The thread of biography speaks of a fascinating woman whom we tend to think we know, but whom I admire even more when seeing her through the lens of faith. The thread of memoir shared through the author’s blending of his own life story with Dolly’s is a gift of hope and connection. And the final thread, that of devotional, invites us to more. Faith- based questions at the end of each chapter take us deeper into our own stories, while the prayers remind us that it was Dolly’s faith that has taken her to the heights she’s attained, as she humbly acknowledges. Reading this book reminded me of my own faith journey and the gift of story told through music, words, and life. I love this book! You will too! JANE KIRKPATRICK, award- winning author of All She Left Behind The Faith of Dolly Parton is a little book filled with big dreams! Dudley Delffs weaves together his unique spiritual journey with the wonder and wisdom of Dolly Parton’s with a heartwarming result. I was uplifted by the inspirational gifts of both and delighted by the author’s humor and the 9780310352921_FaithDollyParton_int_HC.indd 1 4/6/18 11:31 AM joy hidden in the stories of Dolly’s life.
