The fun experience of the attractions in a theme park is based safety, integrity, control and quality. Safety is the highest priority, since the visitors have to have confidence to trust everything inside the park. Integrity is related to the challenges of how to bring the best products and services, which also includes the best possible experiences to the customers every and each day.

The last process, quality, is not only the characteristics of the facility, but also how high the standards of the operational procedures are that affect the park. The productions is also a essential part in the logistics, since a theme park first need to perform all activities necessary to provide each department with the factors and information they need to fulfill their tasks.

To compare and contrast two memorable moments in my life is a difficult challenge for me. I have decided to choose my trips to Disney World and Universal. While both of these magnificent, magical places are located 8.5 miles from each other they are fairly similar and enormously different.

Long before it was commonplace in American business to outsource manufacturing, Disney was setting the precedent for what would one day be a normal competitive practice. In addition to cheaper manufacturing, Disney’s division of labor practices have given them a financially competitive edge in their global operations. Disney is very strict on their practice of having the American company members do the intellectual and artist work of the company. However, in many areas they take full advantage of the cheap labor available to do the labor intensive work in both the manufacturing sector and the theme park sector (Tracy, 1999).
Disneyland is the magical world for kids that enjoy fictional characters and images in breathtaking colors. But in my opinion, Disneyland is for more than just kids. The exhilarating rollercoaster rides, scrumptious food, and other attractions sum up what is expected there. Trust me when I say all ages will have a great time at the Magical Kingdom.

Well, getting occupied with all our to dos and responsibilities sometimes make us really look for that thrill and excitement which is all about sojourns, breaking free and simply having fun, just like what we used to do as a child.

Do you know that theme parks started from the recreational idea of traditional parks?
