The company launched an initiative collaborating with the “Lyft”, which will provide free rides for drunk customers [8]. This indicates the amount of dedication the company has towards its customers. It also provides tours to customers across the 12 flagship breweries in the United States [9] and would also help customers with samplers. Any company that values its customers would become a great success and Anheuser Busch has proved this again.

Initially, these parks were developed as a marketing tool for the Anheuser-Busch American brewing company. Each of the parks were to feature hospitality houses with samples of the Anheuser-Busch products. Since 1933, Anheuser-Busch has been associated with the Clydesdale horses that were housed in stables in all of the Busch Gardens parks. And eventually, rides and attractions were added to the parks until it completely turned into a full theme park while still promoting Anheuser-Busch. Then, Busch Entertainment Corporation was created in 1959 as a subsidiary of Anheuser-Busch Companies to run the various parks. Today the Corporation is known as SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment (Galarraga, Collette, Denny, & LeBrasseur, 2010).

Many people enjoy theme parks as a family event or just to get away from work. How does one find out about a theme park though? Many find out about theme parks through advertisements through the internet, television, or even through ads or promotions. When Schlitterbahn opened it had big promotions and swarmed the media. It seemed like an amazing theme park and I was excited to travel and spend some off time in a new park. Although, Schlitterbahn advertisements and Schlitterbahn the park is the same thing, the major rides, the minor rides, and background theme in Schlitterbahn advertisement look more appealing. When I arrived at the park I think the advertisements were a little overdrawn since majority of the rides and theme park were still under construction or were in the process of being tested and finalized.

Today, Fountain Park stands out as one of Madison’s most visited landmarks. It is often used for community events and even wedding ceremonies for couples who desire to be married in front of the great Broadway Fountain. The park is centered between Broadway Street, Main Street, and Third Street. Aside from the fountain itself, Fountain Park is decorated with shrubbery and park benches for those who want to enjoy the beauty the park has to offer. The park, including the fountain, is lit up during the evening, allowing its magnificence to be viewed at all times. During the Christmas season, the fountain is even decorated with Christmas lights and ornamentation (“Parks”). It sounds like it would definitely be worth the visit.
Six Flags Over Georgia is a theme park containing anything from sweet treats to fun rides. Six Flags provides many activities for all ages. It is not at all uncommon to see famous cartoon characters, such as bugs Bunny, roaming around the park. Olde r children and adults who possess strong stomachs may enjoy riding the various roller coasters available. For example, The Ninja, is my favorite. The Ninja goes up and down steep hills and even loops upside down. Six Flags also has water rides availabl e to keep people cool. My favorite is Thunder river. Last June, I was lucky enough to get caught under the waterfall. Six Flags also has games to play and many souvenir shops. As for the sweets I mentioned earlier, the funnel cakes are absolutely deli cious. I would highly recommend Six Flags as a place to go when visiting the Atlanta area.

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
