Welshman Dominic Jones has been appointed as the new park director of Oakwood Theme Park - the visitor attraction located across 80 acres (32 hectares) of Pembrokeshire countryside.
The 34-year-old has taken up the role after a career that has taken him to locations including Hong Kong and Walt Disney World Florida, as well as Kenya and South Africa.
Jones also has extensive experience from the UK visitor attractions industry, having worked at Madame Tussauds, Thorpe Park and Chessington World of Adventures.
He said: "It's been an extraordinary first 25 years for the park and my aim is to make the next 25 even better.
"I did my dissertation on the future of Welsh Visitor Attractions so now to be at the helm of somewhere like Oakwood is pretty amazing."
