  • 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.

  • "Fathers and Daughters"
    "Fathers and Daughters" Critic: James M. McGlathery Source: Fairy Tale Romance: The Grimms, Basile, and Perrault, pp. 87-112. Urbana: University of Illinois Press, 1991. [(essay date 1991) In the following essay, McGlathery explores the erotic implications of the father-daughter relationship in the romantic folktales of the Brothers Grimm, Giambattista Basile, and Charles Perrault, highlighting common plot scenarios.] As the stories discussed thus far show, emotional involvement between parents and children is a frequent object of portrayal in folktales. That this is especially true of the romantic tale should come as no surprise, for in love plots generally the requisite hindrance to the fulfillment of young desire often takes the form of parental objection or intervention. There are surprises to be found here, however. In particular, the romantic folktale offers the possibility of hinting, with seeming innocence, at erotically tinged undercurrents in the relationship between parent and child that do not lend themselves to tasteful direct portrayal. Fairy tale romance often depicts the child's first experience of leaving home and venturing out on its own, usually in connection with choosing a mate. In the stories of the brother and sister type, resistance to the taking of this step is reflected in a desire to return to the bosom of the family or, failing that, to retain the devoted company of one's siblings. Thus, we have seen how Hansel and Gretel, while prepared to survive together in the forest if need be are overjoyed at being able to live with their father, and how the sister in "The Seven Ravens" succeeds in restoring her brothers to human form and bringing them home with her.

  • First 100 Stories for Story Listening Stories Beniko Mason First
    First 100 Stories for Story Listening stories Beniko Mason first I have been telling fairy tales and folktales from around the world in class as an English lesson since 1990. The combination of listening to stories and reading books has helped my students do well on tests without output or grammar studies. Story- Listening is so powerful that students improve rapidly in listening comprehension and acquire many words. There are countless stories in the world, but I happen to like Grimm Brothers’ house- hold tales. Almost all stories start with, “Once upon a time…” “Once upon a time there was a rich king.” “Once upon a time there were three brothers.” “Once upon a time there was a soldier.” They always start with an introduction of a main character. These stories are very suitable for story-listening lessons in different ways. The stories have interesting content; they are written in rich language; there are many different situations, problems, and characters; and they have stood the test of time. I have gathered here the first 100 easier stories for you to choose from to use for your classes. I will only give you the titles. You can download them from any sites that have the collection of Great Grimm Brothers’ household tales. These stories are not just for children. They deal with many different themes that children may not understand yet, such as deception, loyalty, and true love. Thus, story-listening is not just for children, but for adults also. Story-Listening can be used for any age and also at any levels of proficiency.
