The whale adventure right now is a ride where people don’t really know what to do with their water guns. It’s a place that has everything to do with being responsible for the environment but it’s not worked out well. Not when we read the article “’Touristic Fun’: Motivational Factors for Visiting Legoland Windsor Theme Park “ where they summarized the push and pull factors of why people decide that it’s good to be at a theme park or even a ride. The magical words for the water ride are: theming, interactive, excitement, environment, water, wet and story. After careful consideration we found that the problem with the ride was that it doesn’t tell a real story. When people are starting to have fun the ride ends. Mainly because it’s not well described what they need to do. Knowing that people won’t go there to get only wet, we decided to create a story to make people think of the ride in a different way, a more fun indulging way. Little kids like to see characters interacting with them, and giving them a reason to shoot water at other people. Besides that we thought of a way how people could avoid getting wet. We worked on themed raincoats so people can be dressed nicely, thematic to the story, and still can have fun! What we’re offering is a competition based on the story about 2 rivaling captains, so people can get attached to the story whick makes the experience more vivid. We give them something to battle for! Defending something makes people more excited and it can become the final pull they need to have fun at Whale Adventures.
