Robert Huntsman
Age: 35
Occupation: Utility Sales and Repair
Hobbies: golfing, going to theme parks, home renovations, playing drumset

Scenario: Robert decided to meet up with a few friends from college that he hadn’t seen in several years. The four of them used to love going to theme parks together and riding the most intense roller coasters. They arrive at the roller coaster park to find that it is super crowded because most of the local schools are currently on spring break. Robert notices a sign in the park for an app that allows you to check line lengths and read information on rides – so he gets out his iPhone and downloads the app. He and his friends build a list of rides that they want to ride after looking at the descriptions and photos of all the rides (including stats such as top speed, number of loops, etc). They go to each ride based on which ride currently has the shortest wait time, which allows them to ride all of the rides that looked cool while even having time to ride a couple of the coasters twice. Robert and all of his friends agreed that their day at the park was awesome, especially thanks to the help they got from the theme park app in riding all of the coolest rides at the park.

Lynda Uvalde
Age: 41
Occupation: Head of City Council
Hobbies: spending time with her kids, reading, traveling

Scenario: Lynda decided to take her kids to a nearby theme park as a reward for finishing up the school year with good grades. When she gets to the park she decides to try their free app. She looks at all of the roller coaster descriptions and makes sure to avoid taking her kids to any rides that they do not meet the height requirements for. The kids also tend to get antsy in long lines, so she uses the app to make sure they don’t head towards any rides that currently have a wait time longer than 30 minutes. Her kids were also pretty picky in terms of what food they would eat, so she went to the food section of the app to find a good food place with a short line – which was extremely helpful in preventing any temper tantrums or meltdowns from her children. Overall, they had a great day at the park thanks to the information provided on the theme park info app.
