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:
“Typically, the hero of the fairy tale achieves a domestic, microcosmic triumph, and the hero of myth a world-historical, macrocosmic triumph. Whereas the former—the youngest or despised child who becomes the master of extraordinary powers—prevails over his personal oppressors, the latter brings back from his adventure the means for the regeneration of his society as a whole.”
—Joseph Campbell (1904–1987)
“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)
“Once it was a boat, quite wooden
and with no business, no salt water under it
and in need of some paint. It was no more
than a group of boards. But you hoisted her, rigged her.
She’s been elected.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
