What an exciting week we had at IAAPA Expo 2024! It was such a pleasure to meet with colleagues, current and potential clients, friends and students who share our love for themed entertainment. On Tuesday Nov. 19, we shared some big company growth news in a very fun Falcon’s way through a late-night talk show version of our award-winning podcast Experience Imagination. Falcon’s Beyond and Infinite Acquisitions Partners have just entered into a letter of intent for Falcon’s to operate Oceaneering Entertainment Systems (OES) in early 2025. The announcement was made on the tradeshow floor by Cecil D. Magpuri, CEO of Falcon’s Beyond, Mike Hightower, Falcon’s Beyond Strategic Advisor, Dave Mauck, Vice President and General Manager of Oceaneering International, Inc (OII), and our executive producer/podcast host, Audrey DeLong in front of a standing room only audience.
OES, the entertainment division of OII, has been an award-winning industry leader in developing complex ride and show systems for more than 25 years and is a trusted provider to the world’s top theme park developers and operators. We’re excited to usher in a new era with them as we expand our ride technology and sales capabilities.
