Idlewild & Soakzone Idlewild & Soakzone is the oldest amusement park in Pennsylvania. Today, Amusement Today recognizes Idlewild & Soakzone as the Best Children’s Park. (About Idewild, n.d.). The park has a rich history “Idlewild Park came into existence when William Darlington, owner of the property, gave "the right and privilege to occupy his land for picnic purposes or pleasure grounds" to Judge Thomas Mellon, owner of the Ligonier Valley Railroad. The date was May 1, 1878,” (About Idlewild, n.d.). Idlewild’s modest beginnings were for picnic grounds near the Ligonier Valley Railroad. The Darlington-Mellon agreement for development of the Park, “included campgrounds on both sides of the railroad right-of-way, an artificial lake created …show more content…
“During the first winter, major changes began to occur. Jumpin' Jungle, a children's area was added. Story Book Forest was no longer run as a separate operation and became, instead, one more attraction in the Idlewild Park entertainment complex. Historic Village, once located on the Ligonier side of Story Book Forest, was relocated to the center of the Park for the 1984 Season and was renamed Hootin' Holler'. With the ever-growing popularity across the country in water parks and attractions, 1985 saw the creation of the H20hhh Zone and the addition of Little Squirts eight years later. 1989 provided expansion across the Loyalhanna Creek with the addition of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood of Make-Believe and a trip on the Neighborhood Trolley. This area was expanded in 1990 to feature a new kiddieland area, Raccoon Lagoon,” (About Idlewild, n.d.). The 1980’s and early 1990’s were good for Idlewild Park expansion and added many rides and attraction that are staples in the park to this day. In the 1990’s Idlewild added the addition of “The Wild Mouse Coaster, and doubled the size of the water park leading to a new name, Idlewild & Soakzone,”(About Idlewild, …show more content…

...s cool all year round. Park goers have the opportunity to hike and climb around the ledges and explore the caverns (“Ritchie Ledges”). While the natural beauty of this park is the main attraction, the man made attractions should not be overlooked. The Ohio Erie Canal Towpath is the man made attraction that offers the most recreation to park goers. This trail follows the exact path of the historic Erie Canal. People have the ability to walk, run, cross country ski and bike on this trail (“Ohio Erie Canal Towpath”).
Hayden Park was an interesting place for a Freeze-Frame assignment. For those who have not heard of a Freeze-Frame, it is simply sitting in one spot for 15 to 20 minutes observing ones surroundings. So to continue, at first glance, Hayden Park is a typical Valley of the Sun type park. Most of these typical parks have grass, picnic tables, some trees, and usually some sort of sports availability such as a basketball court or soccer field, or both. In addition, the parks also have pleasant surroundings. But Hayden Park is located in South Phoenix, so automatically the typical standard for parks is altered.
Fans were able to watch the first three minutes of the show during the day until the actual airing. The account got 815 000 followers and generated 170 million views after only three months. ABC family has partnered with artists and Snapchat influencers to help create interesting “snaps” posted throughout the seasons. Pretty Little Liars is also the number one scripted show on Pinterest. The show’s multi-platform strategy is a key tool in PLL’s marketing. In “The Growing Importance of Social Media in Business Marketing”, Pavel Ciprian states, “Through social media, businesses can interact with customers directly. Businesses can attract customers by engaging them with some interactive methods like Question and Answers, Polls, etc” (2015). Pretty Little Liars was launched just as social media was on the rise, which has made them somewhat codependent and extremely
The form of park that came about to end this search was the amusement park, and the most well known of these amusement parks was Coney Island. The major reason this type of park was so successful was because of all it did for society. One thing it did was raise post office restrictions on the mailing of picture postcards since so many people wanted to mail family and friends to show them how much fun they were having. Coney Island was also like a safe-haven for immigrants. Here everyone was kind and there were lots of things to be done so it was a good way for the new residences of the country to experience America. This boost in immigration also gave the country a greater ethnic diversity. The fact the park had such a liberating social setting also brought about changes in fashion, and sexual expression. The rides provided the right scenes for couples to express their love for each other in public more often, and as a result this public display of affection became more accepted. The beaches also gave society a more accepting ideology to the thought of more revealing clothing.
There is no better feeling in this world than to be outdoors with nature, especially when there are numerous activities to dabble in. Often times people take for granted the sentimental value that they can experience by simply walking through a park. God created the Earth to be beautiful and peaceful, and people need to keep it that way. I have always shared a love of the outdoors with my dad and my brother. We have gone on numerous camping, hiking, fishing, and star-gazing trips ever since I can remember. It was no surprise to me when my dad decided to buy a lake house on Hyco Lake, right outside of Roxboro. We got a really good deal on the house, so my dad decided that Hyco Lake was the perfect spot.
Just because the roller coasters are the big advertisement opportunity, doesn't mean that there aren’t other attractions. In the park, you get a schedule that has a list of all the shows and exhibitions that are available that day. When I went, they had an Aviary that was filled with birds of all different colors that you could feed if you purchased the milk that was in the building. Also, they had shows such as an animal show where you sat on benches and watch as they showed off exotic creatures such as a hawk, fox, wolf, owl, and hamsters by putting them through trained tests that had everybody clapping at the end of

When I first arrived at Indian Creek, I lived in an apartment complex called Autumn Chase. The buildings were made out of red and brown bricks. The park had many features. There was a small little kid slide that had stairs, a yellow tube, a car wheel, and a little hood over it all. Then for the big kids, there was a ticktacktoe chart, and swirling latter, rings that you climb up, a normal slide, and three combined slides that had a different pattern. The park was the first and last place I spoke with Triston...
According to Zhu and Chen (2015), “self-presentation” motivates users to express themselves to develop a relationship with firms (p.340). Likewise, Hanna, Rohm and Crittenden argue that “consumers are adopting increasingly active roles in co-creating marketing content with companies and their respective brands”. This offers firms an opportunity to gain more advocates. For example, confronted with declining share of viewers on television, Grammy Awards transferred to social media as platform to create intimacy with customers. Offering consumers online platform to vote for their favorite artist, it attracted 26 millions viewers and achieved best rating(2015, P.271). Obviously, increasingly active engagement is magnifying the positive impact on companies. On the contrary, it can be detrimental to the brand in the case of lack of response. For instance, United Airlines’s passive respond to Dave Carroll’s post “United Breaks Guitars” stirred up 3 million viewer’s dissatisfaction (Killian & McManus, 2015). Therefore, it is critical to gain insights from engagement with consumers. However, there is little commitment for Disney in this aspect (Ratcliff, 2014, para.33). Disney should put in more efforts to create dialogues with consumers in order to inspire brand advocates and reinforce brand
According to the website dreamsunlimitedtravel accessed on November 16 2015, “The park opened with 5 original parks. Those parks are Main Street U.S.A, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, and Tomorrowland.” The idea for Main Street, U.S.A is derived from a typical Midwest town of the early 20th century. It’s suppose to reflect the Victorian era with a train station, emporium, double-decker buses, and horse-drawn streetcars. Adventureland is designed to recreate the feel of an exotic tropical place in a far-off region of the world. Frontierland recreates the setting of pioneer days along the American frontier. And finally, the Fantasyland was originally styled in a medieval European fairground fashion, but its 1983 refurbishment turned it into a Bavarian village. There have been 3 new parks added to Disneyland since opening day. These new parks include New Orleans square, Critter Country, and Mickey's Toontown. New Orleans Square is based on 19th-century New Orleans, opened on July 24, 1966. Critter Country opened in 1972 and formerly was the area home to Indian Village, where indigenous tribespeople demonstrated their dances and other customs. Mickey's Toontown opened in 1993 and was partly inspired by the fictional Los Angeles suburb of Toontown in the Touchstone Pictures' 1988 release Who Framed Roger
The amusement parks we known today have an interesting history, that come from European fairs and pleasure gardens. The Worlds Fair was very influential in the creation of amusement parks. The first Worlds Fair in 1851 held in London began the thought process in creating a fun environment for large exhibitions. With that the first amusement park was born 44 years after the first Worlds Fair. This amusement park was the first enclosed park entertainment area in amusement rides, the infamous Coney Island. From then amusement park rides began to be born, with the help of ideas founded upon 169 years earlier by Sir Isaac Newton.

Just as important as the tiny details of the park that were overlooked, if not more important, was the technical failures associated with human stupidity. When the park was designed, the humans controlling this aspect of the Park obviously didn't consider that there could be problems in the system.
This program was put into place to bring the city of Fond du Lac together. The city parks program is one of the best park systems in the state in my opinion. The city of Fond du Lac and Lakeside Park built a barn in the middle
Adventure Park is located off the highway by Wal-Mart in Mt Airy, Frederick. Adventure Park is at most 15 minutes a drive from Mt Airy and half an hour if you live in Maryland. Adventure Park is definitely worth the longish drive there. Although it is not that long a drive, Adventure Park may be difficult to get to since it is off to the side of the highway. You would have to be in the left lane in order to get to the entrance of the amusement park.
