Let's see what we have here as far as addressing responses:
@ramerika: You may be surprised. Yes, the Disney and Universal franchises are quick and easy to exploit and would clearly give you the largest number of hits and conversions, as well as a more critical response. However there are several other theme parks/amusement parks that come to my mind as extremely popular, and gathering a cult following. These include the Six Flags franchise (went to Six Flags over Georgia Thursday and I'm going back Tuesday) and Cedar Point. As far as other countries are concerned, Alton Towers seems to be growing immensely in popularity. There is also Disney parks in France and Tokyo, and in Germany has a few parks that are getting up there. In fact, if you check http://www.rcdb.com (the roller coaster database), there is a ride going up in a park there that will break the speed record.
@vashtai: Teamwork is definitely necessary if you wish to make this an extremely large scale method with a viral opportunity. But if you wish to target the site and still use the theme park idea, maybe give your landing page a theme within the park theme. For example, an idea from work. Universal Studios is opening a freaking awesome roller coaster this summer called "Rip, Ride, and Rockit". It will have elements unseen in roller coaster history, such as a treble clef loop and video differentiation.
@springer98: I thought a method like this would be worth a lot more than $8. Damn... But I guess free is a nice alternative. Maybe I'll write a more detailed ebook including screenshots, step-by-step, and collaborating with some of the ideas that you have all put in on the thread, but I'd ask permission of course. I want to give this a nice try first to see if it's worth the effort that I thought it would be. It's easy to be dazzled by making money through theme parks when you come up with the idea halfway through a trip on Dueling Dragons.
Any questions, ideas, comments, concerns, talk to me or someone who knows CPA and web design better than me, which is probably most of the people on the forum. I am currently but a dabbler with an idea. Good luck to all of you, and thank you again to those of you who alerted me as to the thread started by that DP member. I tried to give him hell, but my 3 post DP account did not allow it. Sincerely,
YouKnowWhoIAm.
