With all of the different events the park hosts during the year, marketing activities are directed towards different target markets which includes mothers, families, couples, thrill-seekers, etc…Although Busch Gardens have had great success over the years, the company fails to keep up with the other major theme parks who are more advanced with their technological devices such as Disney’s MagicBand. With the new ride, Falcon’s Fury, opening on May 1st, 2014, it will be a great opportunity for Busch Gardens to attract even more guests to the park.

The proposed location in Cobb County lies between Interstate 75 and Interstate 285 and will provide multiple access points to the stadium. There are numerous highways and side roads that will alleviate traffic congestion before and after game time. The proposed track of land for the new stadium is approximately 60 acres. However, the stadium will only occupy approximately 15 acres. The remaining 45 acres will be utilized for parking and mixed-use development. The site will accommodate approximately 6,000 parking spaces and the mixed-use development will consists of shops, restaurants, bars, residences, offices, and hotels. The 60 acre complex is designed to keep the sports fan entertained for the entire day and not just for the game only. If additional parking is needed, there are approximately 30,000 parking spaces within close proximity to the proposed stadium location that will have circulator shuttle access.

Each area has age appropriate sized equipment to engage children from two to twelve. The playground passed all of the four categories: supervision, age appropriate design, fall surfacing, and equipment maintenance. Evaluation of the playground equipment resulted in only two “no” checkmarks due to the fact that it lacked a sign indicating the age group for the equipment and the expected behavior rules were not posted. Other than that, the newly installed playground received a “yes” checkmark in all of the other criteria. The playground was designed to allow parents to sit and watch their children with ease in an unobstructed play area. Clearly, there were separate areas for younger children with smaller slides and a separate swing set for toddlers. The structure itself was appropriately designed and did not have any areas that could be climbed on that were not intended to be climbed on. Soft sand blanketed the playground and the equipment height was within the recommended height requirements which made it safe. All footings were properly covered and no gaps, missing parts, protruding bolts, or broken equipment were seen. Therefore, this playground is deemed safe and free from potential

Why do we need skateparks? This has been a long running question that many of us do not really know the answer to. There is many opposing views on a skatepark and there are many views that support the cause. The main point is why they are beneficial to a community and the inhabitants alike. They bring much joy through the years for people of all ages and are a great addition for its cost. Skateparks are beneficial because they promote less crime, promote health and healthy lifestyles, and they are a great for community development.
