“A true leader and brilliant Creative Director. Working with Chris on the CanCan Coaster project for Europa-Park, he was not only giving realistic guidelines and mark hitting in-field expertise, but also his outstanding ability to spot true creative potentials allowed to reach for new artistic heights. With a defined leadership style and determined persuasion Chris always created something truly unique for both the park to operate and the guest to experience, while most importantly also allowing for a comfortable and nutritious work environment. Chris has a vision and knows how to deliver it in the best possible ways.”

TEA Thea Award for Outstanding Achievement "Snorri Touren" (Attraction Limited Budget)
Themed Entertainment Association
The Snorri character, developed for the new water park Rulantica, connects the youngest of guests with ancient Nordic stories in a beautifully lighthearted way, and this new dark ride is a wonderful update and evolution to the classic character-driven family dark ride. The immersive quality of the ride’s highly stylized scenery, combined with its intimate sense of scale, make this an extremely charming and engaging experience.

The Snorri character, developed for the new water park Rulantica, connects the youngest of guests with ancient Nordic stories in a beautifully lighthearted way, and this new dark ride is a wonderful update and evolution to the classic character-driven family dark ride. The immersive quality of the ride’s highly stylized scenery, combined with its intimate sense of scale, make this an extremely charming and engaging experience. The timeframe to deliver this high-quality attraction is also worthy of recognition; design, fabrication and installation in just over a year’s time is a staggering accomplishment.
