Palace Entertainment Appoints Two New Leadership Positions
Donald Spiller (l.) & Michael Lusky join the Palace Entertainment management team.
(eap) Palace Entertainment, the U.S. subsidiary of the Madrid-based Parques Reunidos group, announces new appointments on their executive level: longtime Six Flags management member Michael (Mike) Lusky takes over as General Manager of Adventureland Resort in Altoona (Iowa) and will also support Sea Life Park Hawaii in his new role of Group Manager; Donald Spiller, who most recently served as General Manager of Six Flags Hurricane Harbor in Phoenix (Arizona), moves to head the Raging Waters water park in Los Angeles (California).
“There’s so much ahead for Adventureland Resort this season including the Summer Concert Series and return of Phantom Fall Fest. What an exciting time to join the organization. I’m really looking forward to working with the team as the park is set to open two exciting new attractions this season, Flying Viking roller coaster and Draken Falls log flume. Plus, I’ll be focused on continuing the great efforts to maintain the resorts status as one of the premier family entertainment venues in the region,” said Michael Lusky.
“Raging Waters is a staple in the community, celebrating 40 years of fun. I’m thrilled to be back in Southern California and take the helm at the water park I grew up recognizing as the granddaddy of all water parks,” commented Spiller.
Bonnie Weber, COO of Palace Entertainment, added: “We couldn’t be more pleased to have Mike and Donald join the Palace team. Their years of hands-on industry experience and breadth of knowledge will add great value to the organization.”
Through the appointments of both Mike and Donald, Palace Entertainment has continued its strategic initiatives to grow the dynamic leadership team across the wide portfolio of entertainment destinations. Currently, the leisure park operator manages 25 major entertainment venues across the United States and Australia. ■
