In 1998 the Tussauds group bought the park and made it into a ‘thrill seekers’ amusement park with rides such as The Flying Fish, Depth Charge and No Way Out.

ASDAs and Subways objectives may be to build customer relationships, to find ways to grow…

    An example of some of the key information would be price, promotions and products. They would then be able to make comparisons between themselves and their competitors so that they can assess what they have against the competition. They may also want to look at what sort of discounts they are offering to attract customers and see what they can offer to beat this and gain the extra customers. The products that Thorpe Park has include the rides and therefore looking at new, upcoming rides other theme parks are creating can help to gather ideas and plan ways of regaining their competitive…
