Over the past few years I have dissected the book, "Walt's Revolution, by the Numbers" by Harrison "Buzz" Price. Mr. Price is the gentleman that helped Walt Disney decide on the location for Disneyland. Harrison went on to become the leading attraction's economist in the world. Sadly he past away not too long ago, but left years of research and study for future attractions to use and make calculated, wise decisions on how to move forward with a development.
One of my favorite quotes in the book is from a gentleman by the name of Terry Van Gorder. He says, "An entertainment park is a medium designed and created for the escape of man from his ordinary everyday life experience. Properly conceived and executed the entertainment park captures and encapsulates each guest within a variety of richly rewarding encounters, both visceral and cerebral. The successful park will culturally enrich and uplift the experience of each guest by encouraging physical, intellectual and emotional participation in the entertainment recreation. Such is the purpose of the roller coaster, the legitimate theater and the flowers."
That's the target we are shooting for with Ole South USA. Hope you have a great day....
