Pancoast brings more than two decades of leadership experience in the themed entertainment and live experience industries. At SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment (now United Parks & Resorts), he served among others as Entertainment Technical Manager and Production Supervisor before moving into a corresponding leadership role at LEGOLAND Florida Resort (Merlin Entertainments).
