Interlink’s Commercial Director Mike Anderson Passes Away †
Mike Anderson, well-known throughout the amusement and theme park industry as part of the Interlink team, passed away at the end of August. Anderson began his career in the industry somewhat by default after he was asked to build a monorail for the UK park Flamingoland in North Yorkshire in 1983. In that same year he founded ride manufacturer Mimafab Ltd. and subsequently went on to work for Interlink in 1986/87. Anderson’s particular areas of expertise were in engineering and fabrication, in particular with water based leisure attractions, while he also had many years’ experience in the operation of rides in parks. He managed Interlink’s UK company, working as technical and commercial director, and was also responsible for the company’s rides installation sub division. He celebrated his 70th birthday on July 15. (eap)
