An iconic attraction leaves guests thinking ‘wow that was awesome, let’s do it again!’ It can be seen in numerous ways, from the long queue lines to the instant recognition of photos. There is something about iconic attractions that make them unforgettable – but what is the secret formula to making an attraction iconic? Does the ride have to be big and imposing? Is there a specific gravity defying feature that, when added, makes an attraction iconic? Big features often come with big price tags, so how can you identify if they are worth the investment, and how do you maximize your return?
 
Join this panel discussion moderated by WhiteWater to learn more about creating iconic attractions, both wet and dry, and how you can add an iconic attraction in your park without breaking the budget.

THE EXPERTS WILL ANSWER:

  • What are the characteristics of an iconic attraction?
  • Is iconic an overused term?
  • Why does a park need an iconic attraction?
  • Can something become iconic with experiential enhancements?

 
YOU WILL LEARN:

  • How to evaluate your ride mix to ensure balance between iconic attractions and wide demographic appeal.
  • How to engage guests in making an attraction iconic.
  • Ways of making an iconic attraction on a budget.
