3. 1.1 Summary
This database is to review the effectiveness of the newly hired general manager. This
manager was hired on January 1st and all of the information presented will be in relation to his
managerial review in response to his first six months of employment. Prior to his employment,
our new manager said he wanted to fix a list of things about this park and they were as follows:
standardize prices to find the most profitable, create a customer loyalty and retention program,
efficiently log all maintenance performed on every attraction, and above all else create the best
experience possible at an amusement park.
His first order of business was to standardize all prices to know exactly what rides were
most profitable and what he could possibly charge more or less for in the future depending on the
attraction’s popularity. Secondly, our general manager created a customer incentive program
through running queries to see if our visitors haven’t traveled to Adventure Place in a certain
amount of time. With this information he can see the last date a customer had visited the park
and add them to a personalized email blast that makes the customer feel they are valued by our
company. The maintenance schedule had originally been a problem for Adventure Place because
before the new year, employees were not required to log their maintenance performances and
there was no official way to check that these rides were checked before the start of every day.
Before our new general manager, rides would shut down throughout the day and would not be
operational until the next business day; but now that we know all rides are being serviced, we are
confident there will not be any down-time throughout our business day.
1.2 Introduction
We are experiencing a rotation of managerial staff. The new general manager has been
hired from an investment firm and has no previous amusement park experience but is very
interested to learn. Adventure Place has been losing a lot of money recently because the
customers do not feel they are valued by us and rides have been breaking down constantly. He
has created a checklist of things he wants to have accomplished before his six-month review that
will take place on June 1st. These will include: flattened prices, a customer rewards program, and
a full revamp of our maintenance on all of our attractions. He guarantees this will fix all of the
problems Adventure Place has been experiencing.
1.3 Business / Enterprise Rules
4. 1. Each Visitor that comes to Adventure Place must purchase at least one ticket through the
Ticket Booth.
2. Each Visitor will be asked to supply their Zip Code and Email address.
3. The Ticket Booth will sell the tickets to each Visitor. An ID number will be generated for
each new visitor that comes. An OrderID will hold all of the information pertaining to the
one specific attraction transaction. An OrderID must have at least one AttractionID, but
can have more, and also only one VisitorID can be associated with an OrderID.
4. Each Attraction requires the Visitor to have at least one ticket to ride one time.
5. At least one Maintenance Staff member must be on the Maintenance Schedule for each
day, but each Maintenance Staff member may only service one ride per day.
6. Each entry in the Maintenance Schedule will contain: its own Maintenance ID, the
Maintenance Staff member working on the attraction, the ID number of the attraction, the
starting and ending time of the maintenance and a description of the job being done.
7. Each entry in the Attraction Schedule will contain: its own Shift ID, the Attraction Staff
member working on the attraction, the ID number of the attraction and the starting and
ending time of the shift.
8. Every attraction must be serviced and inspected each day by at least one member of the
Maintenance Staff, but could be serviced by more than one member of the Maintenance
Staff.

1.8 Notation of E-R Diagrams
Each visitor has to buy at least one ticket to enter the park, but one ticket can be bought
by one or many customers. The ticket booths relate to one specific attraction and one attraction
can only be associated with one specific admission with a single ticket. Rides must be serviced
once a day by one or more maintenance workers, and attractions must also be manned by one or
more attraction staff. The schedule of attraction staff is determined by a specific identifier to
their shift number and each staff member can only have one specific number for a specific task.
1.9 Conclusion
The implementation of this database was very important to effectively grade the
performance of our new general manager. The information he presented us told us exactly what
we needed to know in reference to what attractions our visitors were most interested in and how
18. we can better plan for the future. His customer loyalty program was a great success and we are
seeing more repeat customers than ever before, according to the data we were provided. Finally,
we have not had more than a few hours that an attraction has been down and we could not say
that before our current general manager. The maintenance schedule that was created has solved
so many problems we were having and we will no longer lose money because a ride has to be
shut down for the day. It is our pleasure to say that we have extended the employment of our
general manager and we have many plans for our future. With his help, we want to expand
Adventure Place by adding more attractions and doubling our staff within the next five years. We
have made a lot of progress in the past six months and we have nothing but confidence for the
future as our business has been completely turned around.
1.10 Recommendations
We have few recommendations to make since the database project clearly outlined many
of the problems Adventure Place was having. First of all, we will change the price of the general
admission depending on the attraction our visitors will want to use. The prices will have separate
variations of dollars or cents to either make more profit on some attractions or create more
interest for other rides because of their discounted prices. We plan to keep up with, and
constantly try and improve our customer loyalty program because we wouldn’t be as successful
as we are today without our loyal visitors. Our plan is to revamp the maintenance schedule for
the future and make it more detailed so anyone can read it and possibly understand how to
maintenance our rides. This may be a concern for future employees who are not experienced as
our current workers, but we would like to have documentation related to certain maintenance
routines so anyone can search for the type of maintenance they are trying to perform and will be
able to teach themselves. Finally, we will constantly be monitoring the amount of visitors we
have and the tickets we sell through our new database system. We owe all of our success to our
general manager and will build upon the foundation he has provided us.
