Adventure Parks Group is a company that used to run and operate two theme parks in the U.S. states of Florida and Georgia. They are Wild Adventures in Valdosta, Georgia and Cypress Gardens Adventure Park in Winter Haven, Florida. It also owned a radio station in South Georgia called Wild Adventures Radio 92.1FM. Due to Bankruptcy problems both parks have been sold off. Wild Adventures was sold to the Herschend Family Entertainment Corporation and Cypress Gardens was sold to Land South Holdings.
Famous quotes containing the words adventure, parks and/or group:
“A house means a family house, a place specially meant for putting children and men in so as to restrict their waywardness and distract them from the longing for adventure and escape they’ve had since time began.”
—Marguerite Duras (b. 1914)
“Towns are full of people, houses full of tenants, hotels full of guests, trains full of travelers, cafés full of customers, parks full of promenaders, consulting-rooms of famous doctors full of patients, theatres full of spectators, and beaches full of bathers. What previously was, in general, no problem, now begins to be an everyday one, namely, to find room.”
—José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)
“Just as a person who is always asserting that he is too good-natured is the very one from whom to expect, on some occasion, the coldest and most unconcerned cruelty, so when any group sees itself as the bearer of civilization this very belief will betray it into behaving barbarously at the first opportunity.”
—Simone Weil (1910–1943)
