A Strong Start to 2025
The new year has just begun, but JNELC already has several key accomplishments to celebrate. From leading sustainability initiatives to closing high-profile ride sales and strengthening partnerships, the first months of the year have been filled with exciting milestones. These early successes set the stage for what promises to be a dynamic and productive 2025.
Driving Sustainability Forward
Sustainability continues to be a core focus for JNELC. The company remains committed to promoting environmentally responsible practices in the attractions industry and helping amusement parks adopt greener solutions. As part of this commitment, JNELC’s Managing Director, Jeroen Nijpels, has been invited to speak at the upcoming Sustainability Summit in Singapore on March 14. His participation in this prestigious event highlights JNELC’s growing influence as a leading expert in sustainability.
Over the past year, JNELC has actively engaged in discussions about sustainability at industry conferences, collaborating with partners and stakeholders to explore innovative ways to make amusement parks more eco-friendly. From energy-efficient ride technology to waste reduction strategies, the company is dedicated to finding practical solutions that benefit both operators and the environment. Speaking at the Sustainability Summit is an opportunity to share these insights with a global audience and continue driving change across the industry.
Successful Ride Sales Across Europe
Despite the early months of the year typically being a quieter period for new projects, JNELC has already facilitated the sale of several Zierer rides to some of the leading amusement parks in Europe. These sales reflect the strong demand for high-quality attractions and JNELC’s ability to match parks with the right rides to enhance their offerings.
Having worked closely with Zierer since 2007, JNELC has played an integral role in delivering its attractions to parks across the continent. The latest deals include a mix of family-friendly rides and high-adrenaline experiences, ensuring a diverse range of attractions for guests of all ages. These new installations will help parks refresh their lineups and improve visitor experiences in the coming seasons.
Parc du Petit Prince Sale – A 15-Month Journey
One of the biggest achievements so far this year has been JNELC’s instrumental role in the sale of Parc du Petit Prince in Alsace, France. This deal, which took more than 15 months to finalize, is a testament to JNELC’s ability to bring the right partners together and navigate complex negotiations.
The sale of Parc du Petit Prince is particularly significant as it marks the first time that a Polish company, Ptak Group, has acquired a foreign theme park. JNELC played a key role in facilitating the deal, ensuring that the transition would be smooth for all involved. Ptak Group has already announced plans to invest in the park’s future, with upgrades and expansions that will strengthen its position as a top family attraction in France.
For JNELC, this achievement is more than just a successful business transaction – it reinforces the company’s expertise in large-scale amusement park negotiations and highlights its reputation as a trusted advisor in the industry.
Strengthening Ties with Mandoria
Another key moment this year has been JNELC’s continued close relationship with Mandoria, Poland’s largest indoor theme park. Over the years, JNELC has been a strategic partner for Mandoria, helping it source attractions and expand its offerings.
This strong relationship was further demonstrated when Jeroen Nijpels was personally invited to the grand opening of Mandoria’s newest attraction, “Aquila”. This thrilling new indoor roller coaster, manufactured by Vekoma, is a high-speed launch coaster that reaches 70 km/h in just three seconds, offering guests an exciting new experience.
Looking Ahead
As the year progresses, JNELC remains focused on fostering new collaborations, supporting parks in their expansion plans, and continuing to advocate for sustainability in the attractions industry. With exciting new opportunities on the horizon, the company is ready to build on its momentum and take on even bigger projects.
One thing is certain: JNELC is not slowing down, and the best is yet to come!
