Theme Park Design Competition

Mission Statement

1. Create a fictional themed area located in and thematically appropriate to Delaware.

2. Final deliverables were concept design, development plan, technical analysis for new rides, and a overall map layout.

Target Audience

The themed entertainment industry experts chosen to be judges.

Challenges

1. We had to constantly clarify what the judges were looking for and what exactly our final deliverables had to be. The prompt given to us was left vague.

Solutions

1. We sent many emails to the judges. Fortunately, we began working on the competition early so we were able to ask questions before too late. Our leader also asked his friends in the industry on tips for how the deliverables are usually formatted.

Skills Learned

Team Dynamic

One of our members was extremely ambitious and had great leadership and ideas. It felt like he had the final say in all decisions simply because we all trusted his judgement the most. The rest of us supported him when he assigned us tasks. I did not do so well in this team environment. I felt as though I did not share the same level of passion the rest of the members had for theme parks. Or I had other priorities at the time.
