  • Team Building Activities in PORTAVENTURA PARK Live Your Own Adventure a Challenge Not Within Everybody’S Reach… Dare You?
    Team Building activities in PORTAVENTURA PARK Live your own adventure A challenge not within everybody’s reach… Dare you? The participants, working into teams, will live their own adventure and will have to pass as many trials and to answer as many questions as possible, as well as to overcome the surprises the Park has in store for them. In an atmosphere in which the only survivors will be the bravest, we propose the participants a teamwork activity in which they will have to manage themselves to be the most effective team when overcoming the challenge proposed. They will be the stars of an unforgettable journey surrounded by a five world’s unique atmosphere and the most exciting rides to enjoy. Dragon Khan, Hurakan Condor, Furius Baco… and Shambala, all of them will test the participant´s ability to let themselves be surrounded by an incomparable atmosphere. The participants will have to get as many points as possible, so they will have to face: Compulsory Points Teams must show up along with all its members in these points located in two pleasant rides and make the most of them. The pictures that the teams will get free of charge with the two coupons included inside the material, will witness it. Optional Points They are located in the Park rides. A well-made strategy will allow the teams to show up in as many points as possible (the more, the better), get on the rides, and so, resolve more enigmas and add more points for the team. The punctuation will depend on the solving of the enigma not on the number of team members that go on the ride in order to solve it.

    Do theme parks deserve their success? Nicolas GOTHELF 1 Denis HERBAUX 2 Vincenzo VERARDI 3 24/11/2010 Abstract In this paper, we start by building a typology of theme parks, based on the satisfaction of consumers and the degree of “theming” using a dataset of 70 European parks. Then, controlling for the presence of outliers, we propose a ranking of parks with respect to prices and attendance. We finally point out the main characteristics that impact theme parks attendance and entry prices. We stress the positive correlation between prices and attendance and we highlight the important underlying role of investments in this relation. 1 Introduction Theme parks have been a part of the American dream for the past decades. Among the competitors, the natural superstar, the Disney Company, brings the idea of magic and fairy tales since 1957 for the happiness of young and old. Nowadays, the supply has diversified to a wide class of themes - e.g. aquatic, movies, stunts, etc. - as well as the type of public who is aimed at. Of course, all this magic and broadly all, leisure facilities, has a non negligible cost to the household. One relevant question that arises is the relation between these costs and what is offered by a theme park. Another question is the relation between the level of attendance and the effective offer of the park. In other words, does the theme park deserve its reputation based on concepts that we develop further such as its quality and theming. An immediate issue that arises is the definition of a theme park in order to set the perimeter of the subsequent analysis.
