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 man I praise that once in Tara’s Halls
Said to the woman on his knees, “Lie still,
My hundredth year is at an end. I think
That something is about to happen, I think
That the adventure of old age begins....””
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
“Perhaps our own woods and fields,—in the best wooded towns, where we need not quarrel about the huckleberries,—with the primitive swamps scattered here and there in their midst, but not prevailing over them, are the perfection of parks and groves, gardens, arbors, paths, vistas, and landscapes. They are the natural consequence of what art and refinement we as a people have.... Or, I would rather say, such were our groves twenty years ago.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I can’t think of a single supposedly Black issue that hasn’t wasted the original Black target group and then spread like the measles to outlying white experience.”
—June Jordan (b. 1936)
