home to the Internet�s top destination for theme parks

August 2003 - TravelHero, one of the nation�s leading online full-service travel companies, has acquired amusementpark.com, the Internet�s top destination for theme park tickets, news and information. Amusementpark.com has subsequently moved its operation from Marina Del Rey, CA to TravelHero�s corporate office in Scottsdale, AZ.

Being part of the TravelHero family of extensive online programs and services for the travel industry will introduce amusementpark.com�s unique offerings to an ever-increasing customer base. According to Matt Johnson, founder and CEO of TravelHero, amusementpark.com is a natural complement to the suite of tools the company offers its customers. "We believe the best way to service the customer is to provide the most comprehensive and user-friendly services available," said Johnson. "This includes an array of unique packages, like amusementpark.com, that fulfill both individual customer needs and the overall needs of the travel industry."

Amusementpark.com offers users the convenience of online ticket purchasing to the nation�s top theme parks, such as Six Flags Over Texas, Cedar Point, Six Flags Great Adventure, Universal Studios, Raging Waters, SeaWorld San Diego, and Hershey Park. "amusementpark.com provides online shoppers with the largest selection of theme and water park tickets online at outstanding prices," said Jason Kimball, Vice President of TravelHero�s ticket division. "The acquisition of TravelHero enables us to greatly increase our travel offerings and solidifies our position as the ticket destination for the amusement park industry."

In addition to offering discounted tickets and online purchasing, amusementpark.com supplies theme park information, including hours, directions and details on park attractions. Tickets are delivered directly to the consumer�s door, so there�s never any waiting in line to buy tickets at the park.
