Interlink’s Anderson passes away

NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, United Kingdom — 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’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.
