...2 Indoor Theme Park Project Executive Summary As we continue our project we need to look at where we are in order to determine where we are going. Currently our total project costs are $4,644,920.00 which is above our original baseline cost of $4,449,920.00 due to unforeseen increases in material costs. This $195,000 dollar increase in fixed costs has not placed a significant setback in our projects bottom line. We are currently half way through our project with 40% of our goals completed. Even though we are currently behind schedule by ($565,266.07) we will be able to make up the time and still finish our project by the date of 12/19/2008. We have our new estimate at completion of $5,039,790.43 and with the proper adjustments to our schedule we will be able to pull our completion date back into line. We should be able to keep the costs in line if not improve upon them by keeping a tighter day to day track of our progress and adding additional resources to tasks and shorten their duration. Overall this project is still within a margin of acceptance and will be operational and complete for its grand opening.

...ANALYSIS SWOT ANALYSIS Strengths • It is the pioneer theme park in the country boasting seven fantastic theme zones and imported rides and attractions. • Aside from its 21 rides and attractions, all of which are imported from the United States, Germany, and Japan, there was a wide variety of food outlets, specialty shops, and video game centers in Enchanted Kingdom. • Enchanted Kingdom has some musical entertainment too. Visitors could also swing to the beat of live-wire musical entertainment from popular guest bands and in-house bands, performing regularly at the bandstand. • To cap the magical experience, there was also a spectacular fireworks display every weekend which gives them an edge among competitors. • It is accredited by the International Theme Park Inc. • All its crew members received “service” training from Disney, USA. • Its 16.6 hectare land was not only spacious but also accessible. Weaknesses • EK cannot add new rides and attractions to maintain the charm and to sustain the viability of the theme park because of tight financing and weak demand. • Theme parks are easily affected by economic conditions. • Enchanted Kingdom and other theme parks experience seasonal demands. Opportunities • Despite the high admission price and with barely two years from its public launching, Enchanted Kingdom enjoyed healthy attendance. Therefore, they have an opportunity to further improve their theme park since it is shown that people are willing to pay. Threats ...

...Project Proposal Michael Ball I am proposing a new indoor theme park to be built in Westchester County that would be opened year round even during the cold winter months. This theme park would have similar rides that an outdoor theme park would have such as roller coasters and a ferris wheel. Patron The person who will be funding this project is Westchester County executive Rob Astorino. I believe he would be willing to fund this project because he has signed agreements to help keep Playland, Westchester’s outdoor amusement park, in business. Population Families who live in Westchester County will benefit from this project. While Playland and other outdoor amusement parks are only open during the warmer months, this indoor amusement park will be open year round no matter what the weather is. It will be open every day except for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Both parents and kids can visit the park after work or school or on the weekends. It will have the same features as an outdoor theme park, just indoors. Problem The main problem for this project is finding space and land in westchester to build an indoor theme park. Another potential problem is attracting enough customers to remain in business as well as having enough employees working at the theme park. Paradigm In order for this project to be successful, I would do some research on other indoor theme parks around the country and see which ones have been popular and why. I also believe we should conduct surveys and...

...Course: PM 592 Assignment: Course Project CP-1 Executive Summary Totally Amused, Inc, is a hotel and water theme park innovator which burst into the amusement industry only 10 years ago and has made several big splashes with successful property/facility introductions in multiple states since then. However, the amusement park industry is extremely competitive, so each new venue is built bigger and better than the next to maximize customer enjoyment and park ticket sales. Totally Amused is looking to take its current indoor and outdoor water park locations to the next level, venturing into an area that is not all too familiar. Management is considering a big move into the indoor theme park market. Although water parks and traditional theme parks have their similarities, they have many differences. The project consists of a new 100,000 sq. ft. building which will annex onto one side of an existing building. The indoor facility will feature a first-of-its-kind two-level go kart track, a six-story Ferris wheel (enclosed in glass), 24 lanes of bowling, mini golf, a four-story rope course, and scores of arcade games. Although this new venture sounds like a walk in the park, an important decision is at hand! The project has reached the 50% scheduled completion stage and a control evaluation is being undertaken to analyze the performance of the project and to recommend corrective measures to support the continuation of the project. The project, which commenced on April 4, 2008...

...ó Mateu OCEAN PARK CASE STUDY INTRODUCTION Ocean Park Hong Kong is a marine animal theme park located in the Southern District of Hong Kong. It was inaugurated in 1977 by the Government with the intention to bring somewhere where Hong Kong citizens could feel some sense of space as a large part of the population lived in a crowded locality. So it was inaugurated as a nonprofit organization that aimed to provide visitors a unique experience in entertainment, education, and conservation. Firstly, in the absence of competition, Ocean Park became really popular but existed without direction and focus. When Hong Kong's officials signed an agreement to bring Disneyland to Hong Kong in 1999, the Ocean Park's viability started to be questioned. By 2005, when Disneyland Hong Kong was inaugurated, Ocean Park was unprofitable and widely expected to lose out. Nevertheless, the Park responded with a development plan and showed their abilities for adaptation and turn threats into opportunities. It expanded the number of attractions and rides, raising the number of visitors, becoming the world's 13th most visited theme park and the largest theme park in Asia in 2014. Since 2012 Ocean Park's is in a similar situation, however, not just regarding one competitor but many. So how can the park face and deal with this new critical setting...

... * Company Analysis Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) fielded several national ad campaigns. Tourism is Las Vegas’s biggest industry, and LVCVA is charged with maintaining the city’s brand image and keeping visitors coming to one of the world’s most famous cities. As the 1900s rolled around, many Las Vegas officials felt that the town needed to broaden its target audience. So they set out to appeal to families. Some of the biggest casinos on the Las Vegas strip built roller coasters and other thrill rides, world-class water parks, and family-friendly shows like Treasure Island’s live-action swashbuckler spectacle, visible to everyone passing by on the street. The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, dealt Las Vegas tourism one of its worst blows ever. Declining tourism led to 15 000 lost jobs. The LVCVA engineered an image of Las Vegas as a luxury destination oozing with excess and indulgence. The theme parks were replaced by five-star resorts, high-rise condos, expansive shopping mall filled with the world’s top luxury brands, and restaurants bearing names of world-renowned chefs. A new breed of expensive stage shows for adult audiences replaced family-friendly entertainment. This change of strategy worked. Based on customer insights, the LVCVA coined the now familiar catchphrase “Only Vegas: What happens here, stays here.” The phrase captured the essence of the Las Vegas experience, that it’s okay to be a little naughty there. The simple phrase became...
