Theme Parks and Attractions 2.3 Development of attractions and theme parks II – Scale Scale of development The scale (ie level and size) of attraction development varies dramatically from a small ride in a theme park to large constructions such as a ski resort. In the Hong Kong SAR, we have a variety of attractions at different levels or scales. For instance, the small-scale Lei Cheng Uk Han Tomb Museum was modified from a historical tomb dating back to the Han Dynasty which can only accommodate a handful of visitors at a time. On the other hand, large-scale developments like Ocean Park can accommodate up to 35,000 visitors per day with numerous activities available in the park (Chiu, 2005). In the same vein, the scale of events also varies depending on the nature of the event and its location. Some local events in Hong Kong like the Bun Festival are organised within Cheung Chau Island, whereas the Dragon Boat Festival is a city-wide event. The equestrian events held in Hong Kong as part of the 2008 Olympic Games represent an example of an international event. Time-scale of development Closely related to the scale of development is the time-scale of developing an attraction which may vary from months to years. Annual festivals like the Chinese New Year Parade in the Hong Kong SAR require a few months to a year of preparation, while mega events like the Olympic Games require several years of detailed planning and development of massive buildings, facilities and infrastructure. Building a new ride in an amusement or theme park may take one to two years while building a new theme park may take several years from idea conception, feasibility study, site selection, design and planning, and construction through to the opening. 52
