Orlando has become synonymous with Disney World, but the area offers much more than thrilling roller-coaster rides and wallet-thinning days at amusement parks.
LOS ANGELES (Dow Jones) -- While theme-park operators have yet to feel a full- throated assault on their revenue from a sluggish economy, trouble could be just around the corner.
Great American Family Parks, Inc. , a company in the business of acquiring, staffing and managing theme parks announced today that it has retained the services of Hawk Associates for strategic investor relations.
As summer approaches, local amusement parks are opening their gates. Some feature new rides, like Six Flags' Tony Hawk's Halfpipe waterslide. Others are offering package deals; Hersheypark and Dutch Wonderland offer a combination ticket.
