Inspector Certification

AIMS is proud to announce the addition of a new comprehensive inspector certification program. Individuals who attend this program are exposed to important guidelines used in the industry such as: ASTM, AWS, NFPA, NEC and many other consensus-built codes and standards used to inspect rides and devices. The certified inspector program provides individuals more intense and focused study in the areas of what an inspector needs to consider and the different variables to understand while inspecting rides and devices.

The amusement industry continues to grow and fresh challenges are created by new technologies and innovative ride systems. Local, state and federal regulations, codes and standards, and expanded legislation mandate inspection requirements. The AIMS inspector certification program is designed to meet these requirements by preparing and certifying individuals who have chosen a career in the amusement inspection field for permanent or mobile equipment.

Stay tuned as more details on the certified inspector program will be released soon.

Sad Industry News

It is with great sadness that I write this blog. The Amusement Industry lost an industry icon this week with the sudden passing of Will Koch, President and CEO of Holiday World in Santa Claus, IN. In an earlier post, we celebrated that Holiday World was the first group to sign up for the AIMS Safety Seminar. This is a direct result of Will's genuine dedication to safety in our industry.

With Will's sudden passing, the easy decision would have been to close the park and deal with the shock, but Will's family and the Holiday World family wouldn't have it. The park opened the very next day because they knew that's what Will would have wanted. What a great testament to his love and commitment to his park and the industry.

Holiday World, the industry loves you and we're grieving with you. We are all going to miss Will, but this industry is so much better because of his desire, dreams and dedication. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
