  • Chessington World of Adventures Guide
    Chessington World of Adventures Guide Overview One of three theme parks located in Greater London that are operated by Merlin Entertainments Group, Chessington World of Adventures combines a host of rides and shows with a world-class zoo. Whereas nearby LEGOLAND Windsor is aimed at families with kids aged 2-12, and Thorpe Park caters for teens and young adults, Chessington offers something for just about every age group. In addition to the theme park and zoo, the site is also home to the Holiday Inn Chessington, a safari-themed hotel that overlooks the Wanyama Village & Reserve area. History The origins of Chessington World of Adventures can be traced back to 1931, when a new zoo was established in the grounds of a fourteenth century country mansion by entrepreneur Reginald Goddard. The zoo was eventually acquired by the Pearsons Group in 1978, which subsequently merged with the Madame Tussauds chain to form The Tussauds Group. The newly-formed company embarked on an ambitious £12 million project to build a theme park on the site, and Chessington World of Adventures opened to the public in 1987.

  • ACE's Scandinavian Sojourn
    ACE’s Scandinavian Sojourn : A Southerner’s Perspective Story by: Richard Bostic, assisted by Ronny Cook When I went on the ACEspana trip back in 2009, it was by far one of the most amazing vacations I have ever experienced. In addition to getting to visit parks in a different culture than we see here, it is also a great opportunity to spend time with fellow enthusiasts and grow friendships while enjoying our common interests. When Scandinavia Sojourn was announced for the summer of 2011, I knew it was a trip I could not miss. Since the 2009 trip was my first trip to Europe I thought that there was no way the over- all experience could be better in Scandinavia. I was wrong. We landed in Helsinki, Finland around 1300 the day before we were required to be at the hotel to meet with the group. Helsinki is an interesting city and fairly new compared to many cities in Europe. Walking around the city you can see the Russian influence in the city’s architecture. In fact, many movies during the cold war would use Helsinki to shoot scenes that are supposed to be set in the Soviet Union. After making our way to the Crowne Plaza Hotel and getting a quick lunch at the hotel restaurant we decided to spend the remaining time that afternoon checking out some of the sites around our hotel. Some of these sites included the Temppeliaukio Church inside of a rock formation, the train station, Routatientori Square and National Theater, and a couple of the city’s art museums.

  • Ride-Related Fatalities
    Ride-Related Fatalities 1. Numbers and Causes of Fatalities According to the most recent report of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), between 1987 and 2000 there were 51 amusement park ride fatalities in the United States. This is a very, very small number. As discussed below, many common activities are more likely to cause fatalities. The total of 51 fatalities itself is misleading as an indication of ride safety. Of these 51 fatalities, about one-third were due to rider error and another 10 percent were due to pre-existing medical conditions of the riders. In order to understand the data, the 51 fatalities are individually listed below. There are links to the press articles describing the accidents. This paper assigns causes to the fatalities as falling into one or more of eight categories. The causes can then be summarized as follows: Cause of fatality Number Rider error 17 Operator error 10 Pre-existing medical condition 4 Design defect 3 Accident 5 Unknown 11 Occupational death of worker 1 This can be shown in percentage form as follows: file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Owner/Desktop/samples/Park Safety Site-sample/Park Safety Site 3.htm (1 of 14)10/3/2006 10:25:23 AM Ride-Related Fatalities Causes of Fatalities MF Accident caused by a ride which malfunctioned RE Accident caused by rider error.

    WELCOME TO MAGIC SPRINGS THEME AND WATER PARK! We are glad you are here and hope you have an enjoyable, fun‐filled day! We provide a safe, family‐fun experience creating MAGIC MEMORIES that last a lifetime. This guide has been prepared to provide an overview of services and facilities available for our disabled Guests. Our goal is to make our park free of barriers and more accessible for all our Guests. Should you or a member of your party have questions, please do not hesitate to ask any of our Team Members to direct you to us.

Transfers must be accomplished by the disabled person or with assistance of a member of his/her party. Magic Springs personnel are not trained in lifting or carrying persons with disabilities and are therefore not permitted to assist Guests on and off the rides. Some ride entrances have narrow queues formed by railings that make wheelchair access difficult. In these situations, special access entrances are available to accommodate the mobility impaired and other disabilities. These special entrances are generally the ride exit.
