True Safety of Amusement Parks Theme Parks can be Achieved
Experienced in two major theme parks in Japan and consulting more than ten local amusement parks in Asia.
No major accident has occurred at my clients’ amusement parks since then.
Taking the size and actual operation state into account, I introduce the latest operation method to each amusement park.
Client comments;
“There are no accidents nor worker injuries after we asked Gun-san for advice.”
“Successfully lowered the maintenance cost while maintaining safety, and as a result, lead to gaining benefit.”
“We were starting to lose hope but now we have more guests coming.”
It would be very grateful if I can be of any help as a safety management/business consultant specialized in amusement parks and theme parks to restore turnout at your local parks.
