It gets technical at this point. Construction drawings and specs have to be prepared. Soon shovels hit the dirt, concrete and steel are being delivered, ride systems are ordered and show elements are being fabricated. The Apogee team will be there for you during the complete construction, fabrication, installation and opening of your project to protect every penny of your investment.
Adding a greater depth of detail to your design concept, Apogee will draw up a design skeleton for your project otherwise known a Schematic Design.
How each physical element of your project works with every other element will be established. All key systems, entertainment, rides and shows are determined. With the Schematic Design in hand, your architect can now confidently design buildings for attractions, entertainment, merchandise and food and beverage venues.
The Schematic Design phase is also the time when all the basic engineering, civil, electrical and mechanical, is quantified and prepared. Cost projections will be further refined in this stage and project adjustments made accordingly.
NOTE: It’s not too early to start creating your marketing plan.
Architecture is a complex skill.
Architecture for theme parks becomes even more complex because it not only devises appropriate space for function, it is actually part of the “show” that defines theme parks.
Theme park architects ensure delightful buildings will wrap around your attractions. Good theme park architecture heightens the experience of your guests and contributes to the richness of your park’s atmosphere.
Apogee Attraction’s architects are among the best. And don’t you deserve the best?
The focus of the work during Design Development is the thousands of smaller details yet to be determined. Final engineering is done and final decisions made. The scope of documentation resulting from this phase allows us to prepare a final, comprehensive project budget and schedule and move into preparing construction documents.
All of the elements of the project are now fixed. This is where Apogee’s expertise is especially appreciated. Because of Apogee’s careful planning and extensive experience, you will avoid those very expensive last minute changes to your finalized plans.
It pays to work with the best. It pays to work with Apogee Attractions.
Making a memory can be big business. Specialized retail shops give your guests the opportunity to bring home a little of the magic of their day as well as offering an excellent opportunity to further “dress up” your park.
Your guests’ demands for quality food and drink are another way to add character and themeing to your venture.
Both your retail program and food/beverage program will become key revenue centers, throwing off significant profits when implemented properly.
Don’t overlook these critical elements in your venture’s success.
Apogee’s experience as you build a theme park will be invaluable. Acting as your representative, we take care of the day to day work schedule, keeping you fully informed.
NOTE: As the building moves to completion, the managers and key staff that have been hired during this phase will participate in “test and adjust” and training requirements associated with all the building and show technical system installation. Increasing amounts of time and resources are spent on recruiting and hiring the project’s management and operating staff.
