park was introduced in 1979, the theme park included 27 different attraction sites, five of them

introduced hotels such as ‘the shark hotel’ which comes with an experience during your stay and all
sorts of new rides including the new ‘the dark ride’, ‘Darren brown train’ and ‘angry birds’, the park
has also one of the most popular restaurants such as KFC, burger king and more. The opening times
at Thorpe Park is also beneficial for the business as they earliest they close is 5pm on Monday-
Wednesday, 6pm on Thursdays, 7pm on Friday and 10pm on Saturday and Sunday, this is more
appealing as the latest times they close is during the weekends which makes it more suitable and
customers are more likely to book one of Thorpe parks hotels for a stay during the weekend as they
can spend more time and more money at the resort during their stay. Another objective for the
business is that they’re trying to increase the attraction of the age group of 18-24s. By this, the
business has tried to attract that age group by introducing night clubs and bars. However, Thorpe
parks general aims and objective is to increase their customers per year by aiming to attract at least
a quarter of a million customers a year as well as increasing the satisfaction of their customers
experience over a short stay or long stay. Thorpe Park doesn’t only focus on attracting one age group
but almost every age group as they provide all sorts of activities to take place within the theme park
resort.

this they will be attempting to appeal to 18-24 year olds and their family market. Thorpe also wishes
to increase their yield per customer and satisfaction targets. If Thorpe Park achieves these marketing
objectives they would be striving to achieving their cooperate objectives.
