Case Study Of Albion Theme Parks

Albion Theme Park Ltd Strategic Plan

Albion Theme Parks started in the 1980s as a farm but later on proved to be popular with the local families and children who frequented the farm to interact with the animals as well as partake in other activities offered at the time such as milking, making cheese and riding on farm tractors and wagons (Lukas 2012; Miller 2012). By 1985, the farm had been converted into a fully-fledged theme park with various attractions and rides created around three themes inspired by British history: the Farmland which is a petting zoo and attraction where children can see and take part in some old farming crafts and techniques such as milking, St Georges Challenge which has rides and attractions that are themed around the legend of St George of England and Robin Hood’s Hideaway which is a wooded area that has an adventure playground. In the course of time, more rides and attractions have been added to the park, and they have all retained this established theme’s characteristics (Lukas 2012).
