Description

Is it time for a refresh? Need to do more with less, including increasing per cap revenue, improve guest experience, and activate neglected areas of the park? Join the Club!

You can't always build a new exhibit or rollercoaster. In this session, you'll learn practical strategies and creative tactics to cost-effectively reimagine your park and add noticeable value to your guest experience while simultaneously growing revenue.

We'll dive into the non-traditional methods used by SeaWorld, Lake Compounce, and the Fort Wayne Children's Zoo to transform and activate underperforming areas in their respective parks, add excitement, and make money. Panelists will provide real-world case studies and share a complimentary Visual Guest Experience Guide. A Q&A session will follow the presentation.

Learning Objectives
- Participants will learn practical strategies and creative tactics to cost-effectively reimagine their spaces
- See benefits in basic retheming, messaging, and a fresh coat of paint in their per caps
- Learn strategies and techniques to evaluate their space and use a complimentary Visual Guest Experience Guide to help with their observations
