About

Orlando Attractions Magazine is the only magazine that covers all of the Orlando area theme parks, tourist attractions, restaurants and more with news, in-depth feature articles, attention-grabbing photos, updates and interviews. Each issue of Orlando Attractions Magazine gives readers insight into their favorite happenings at the major Central Florida theme parks, as well as attractions on International Drive, U.S. Highway 192 and other tourists areas.


Why Orlando?
Also known as the theme park capital of the world, Central Florida is home to seven major theme parks (with two more within an hour's drive) and five major water parks.

Approximately 50 million visitors make the trip to Orlando each year. Roughly 46.5 million of those guests are domestic visitors and 3.5 million are international visitors. There are more than 5,300 restaurants in the area, many of which are attractions unto themselves. Orlando is consistently ranked number one among all vacation destinations in the world.


How It All Started
Orlando Attractions Magazine was the brainchild of two of the biggest fans of Orlando theme parks. Both had been visiting Orlando and its various theme parks for longer than they can remember and loved the parks so much they moved their families here. The magazine was started in 2007.

Publisher and Editor Matt Roseboom has more than 15 years of publishing experience, including five years as owner and editor of two weekly newspapers in Southwest Florida (Marco Island Sun Times and Naples Sun Times). While living on Marco Island, he and his family made the three-hour trip to Orlando whenever they could spare the time. In 2006 an opportunity presented itself and Matt sold the newspaper and moved to Orlando to turn his love of attractions into a business. Matt is also a cruise travel writer and the publisher of Cruise News Weekly.

Former co-owner Ricky Brigante has been the host of his own Internet radio program, or podcast, since mid-2005. His award-winning Inside The Magic podcast is released every Sunday and covers all of the latest news out of the Walt Disney World Resort. As one of the most listened-to Disney podcasts, his show is downloaded and heard by as many as 17,000 listeners a week. Ricky is a self-taught graphic artist who has been dabbling in Photoshop for more than 15 years. His love of theme parks reaches all the way back to his frequent family trips to Walt Disney World from his hometown of Miami. Since leaving Orlando Attractions Magazine in January 2010, Ricky now designs and produces custom lanyards at his new company, Lanyard Lab.
