Investigating the effects of domain knowledge and controllability on a theme park recommender system. By T.H.J. Smits Identity number: 0889679 In partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Human-Technology Interaction Supervisors: Dr. ir. M.C. Willemsen Dr. W. Barendregt Company Supervisor: J. Rietbergen 2 ABSTRACT To assist visitors in getting even more out of their visit, Efteling has launched a conversational recommender system to provide suggestions for attractions to visit in their theme park. Literature suggests that the optimal level of control over indicating user preferences may be dependent on the user’s knowledge about the decision domain. In order to investigate this for visitors of a theme park, the controllability of the recommender system was manipulated in a series of A/B tests. By implementing different preference elicitation methods and varying the number of items in the initial questionnaire, the effects of controllability on recommendation satisfaction and persuasiveness are researched. The findings seem to suggest that when users perceived a low level of control due to lacking the domain-specific knowledge to answer a question, this negatively affected their recommendation satisfaction. The level of domain-specific knowledge also affected the preferred level of domain-specific control that the user was offered. However, further research is highly encouraged. 3 Acknowledgements First and foremost, I would like to express my gratitude to Martijn Willemsen for his invaluable involvement in this thesis. Even though, for the complete duration of the project, it was not possible to have a meeting in the same room, he was able to share helpful insights, motivating words, and an inspiring passion for the topic. Additionally, I would like to thank my second supervisor, Wolmet Barendregt, for her useful perceptions that have brought this thesis to a higher level. Secondly, I thank the app and guest data team at Efteling, and Jonas Rietbergen in particular, for granting me the opportunity to contribute to the recommender system and for making me feel welcome in the team, both at the office and in digital meetings. It was a true pleasure working at Efteling. The freedom they provided, as well as the lively discussions and critical questions, were truly helpful in shaping the project and the study. I also want to thank my friends and my family for their support throughout this project in particular, and my educational career in general. I feel fortunate to have them around me. Last, but most certainly not least, I would like to thank my girlfriend, Simone. Thank you for your endless support and motivation throughout this project and in life, and most importantly, your willingness to spend a lockdown with me. 4 Table of Contents Acknowledgements

  • Does It Have Fur Or Feathers? a Categorisation of Theme Park Attractions
    Does it have fur or feathers? A Categorisation of Theme Park Attractions Author: Frank Cornelissen Author ANR: U0396714 Supervisor: Pieter Cornelis 2nd Reader: Greg Richards Date: August 17th, 2010 Tilburg University Tilburg School of Social and Behavioural Sciences Department of Leisure Studies Preface & Acknowledgements One should think that the concept of ‘once bitten, twice shy’ would apply after finishing my bachelor thesis, yet a little over four months ago I once again found myself at the beginning of what then seemed an impossible task. The goal? To devise an empirically founded categorisation of theme park attractions. That task may seem simply at first, but when looking at attractions in the likes of, to name but a few, Tower of Terror, Hocus Pocus Hall, The Flying Dutchman, Lisebergtower, Hex or Dragon Khan, it will seen become apparent that each and every of these attractions is highly unique. As the seemingly endless imagination and the incredible skills that come into play in converting the most impossible of ideas into reality was part of what raised my interest in the theme park industry many years ago, that didn’t come as a surprise. It did, however, make things considerably more difficult. Luckily, I wasn’t on my own in taking on this challenge. First and foremost I would like to thank my supervisor Pieter Cornelis; I would not have been able to finish my thesis without his support, guidance, wisdom and ruthless criticism. I sincerely appreciate the advice Fetene Tekle, Marie-Anne Mittelhaeuser and especially Theo van der Weegen have given me regarding statistics in general and dimension reduction of dichotomous data in particular.

  • André Rieu in Wonderland
    André Rieu in Wonderland A walk through the amusement park "Efteling" where this DVD was recorded. Version 1.4, Jun 2011 The Wonderland walk. Page 1 of 34 Introduction In the summer of 2007, André Rieu and the JSO recorded the DVD “Wonderland” in the fairytale park “Efteling” in The Netherlands. From several people we received requests for more information on this park. In this document we provide some useful information (how to get there, opening times, etc.) and a "Wonderland walk" through the park, passing by many places you will see in the “Wonderland” DVD. History of the “Efteling” Ask any Dutch person above the age of 40 about the “Efteling”. Ten to one they all give you the same answers: “the flying carpet”, “dancing red shoes”, “musical mushrooms”, the “trains” and “Long Neck”, to name a few. Below a picture of my brother and I in one of the little trains. I was about eight years old at that time (±1963). The other picture was taken recently (April 2008). I don’t know why, but it looks like those trains have shrunk quite a lot, but you still have to peddle like a madman to get around the track in a record time. And still no brakes, but good bumpers. But most important: all those popular attractions from the early days of the park are still there and in high demand! The history of the Efteling goes back to 1933, when a few people had an idea to start a sports park with a soccer field and a small playground.

  • Over Kwaliteit, Kitsch En Kozijntjes
    Over kwaliteit, kitsch en kozijntjes Een avond bij Michel den Dulk Eftelist, 10 juli 2006 “Het zit ’m vaak in heel kleine dingen. Details die door de meeste mensen niet eens meteen worden waargenomen.” 2 Over kwaliteit, kitsch en kozijntjes - Een avond bij Michel den Dulk De herinnering aan zes maart 2005 zal de meeste Eftelingliefhebbers niet direct doen vervallen in anekdotes over aan de grond genageld staan, of de theepot pardoes uit de handen laten vallen. Maar we keken er in de vroege lente van vorig jaar allemaal wél ontzettend van op toen we hoorden dat Michel den Dulk - protégé van Ton van de Ven en ontwerper van kunststukjes als het Anton Pieckplein en het Meisje met de Zwavelstokjes - niet meer werkzaam was bij de Efteling. Veel begrepen we er niet van. De jonge creatieveling had de naam een lastpak te zijn, maar had in korte tijd al zoveel prachtigs aan het Kaatsheuvelse park toegevoegd, dat niemand het ook maar een ogenblik zag aankomen. Het had zo veilig geleken; het vertrek van Van de Ven als creatief directeur was een stuk beter te verdragen in de geruststellende wetenschap dat het stokje werd doorgegeven aan een jonge opvolger die het werken met de geleende hand van Anton Pieck in elk geval uitstekend voor elkaar kreeg, en misschien nog wel veel meer in zijn mars had. Na het vertrek van Michel den Dulk uit de Efteling lijkt het park het befaamde ‘korset van het Pieckeriaanse denken’ als een oude nachtpon op de kar van de lorrenman te hebben gegooid, jammer genoeg.
