Old Aircraft Carrier Turned Into Military Theme Park in ChinaAn old aircraft carrier from the former Soviet Union navy has been turned into a military theme park and will be stationed at Dapeng Bay in Shenzhen, south China s Guangdong Province. The 40,000-ton ship, known as the Minsk, first arrived at the Wenchong Shipyard in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province, in November xx as scrap iron, the Shanghai-based Wenhuai Daily reported on May 8. It is about triple the size of a standard football field, 18 stories high, and has more than 2,000 cabins, the paper said. The carrier, which was poorly maintained by the Russian navy after the collapse of the Soviet Union, retired in 1993 and was initially sold to a South Korean businessman as scrap steel after key military ponents were removed, the paper said. The Minsk was later resold to an undisclosed Chinese business. (From: Peoples Daily)III. 12 theme park strategiesTips to make the most of your vacationBy Terry Riley Travel columnistHow can you get the most from your theme park visit? For an answer, I turned to Robert Obenour. Hes spent his career in the theme park business and is currently vice president of operations for Baker Leisure Group, an international theme park consultancy. Heres the advice he gave me to pass on to you.1. Plan your visit. Buy a guidebook. Read reviews. Check out the parks Web site. Then plan what you want to see and do. Unless the park is small, you shouldnt expect to see or do everything in one day, so set your priorities. The investment you make in planning will pay handsome dividends on “park day.”1. Have a “Plan B.” It is not unmon that an attraction will be closed. In that case, just move on to the next on your list. Also, in the unlikely but not unheard of event that the entire park is closed, have a backup plan that includes another, nearby activity.
