Helping you from feeling fatigued at amusement parks, I have come up with an idea that will help cure boredom and that tired feeling. My idea is an escalator that has chairs with TV's installed in them. This escalator will move you up to the front of the line, while providing you with entertainment!
Social media is a large part of our social culture. It is a way to get new information out to the world. Twitter, Facebook, Foresquare, and number of other sites that spread information like wild fire. This is just what my product needs to establish itself in the market.
Personally I know that while I am waiting in line for rides at amusement parks I tweet up a storm. Always complaining about how long the lines are taking and how I just want to sit down, but everytime I do the line moves a little and I have to get up and move #annoying! I think people will relay the message over twitter and facebook about my new invention.
Also I know most amusement parks have live twitter feeds, so as part of my contract when I install the escalators I will request that the amusement park tweets or puts on facebook that they have a new and improved method for waiting in line. With the TV's that are installed in the backs of each chair, people will be able to access their social media accounts. My hope is that they do some advertising while waiting!
And by checking into their foursquare accounts, peoples friends will see that they are at the parks, which will attract more business. A chain reaction will have been created because now amusement parks around the world will see that my escalators are increasing business and will want to install them in other amusement parks!

Wait no more!
Picture this: it's a nice warm day out, you and your family have just arrived at Disney's MGM Studios. The first thing you do is run to your favorite ride! The Tower of Terror. Once you get there you look up to see that the wait time is an hour and thirty minutes. Your family doesn't want to stand in the long lines and wait, but you insist. Everyone in your family is becoming tired and grumpy because the line is taking so long and they can't distract themselves anymore with their cellphones because their battery is only on 10%. And every time you sit down on the brick wall to rest the line moves a little bit and you have to get up to move again. If only someone could come up with a solution to fix this boredom while waiting!
My entrepreneurship idea is to create a conveyor belt with seats on them for people to sit down during their wait time. These seats will be designed like airplane seats, where there is a TV that people can play games on, or watch TV shows. This belt makes the time fly while waiting, and you don't even have to walk through the lines. The belt automatically moves the seats forward until you get to the front of the line, and step on the ride.
There are certain games that are free of charge, but just like the itunes apps there are some games that people could download that would cost a couple of dollars. Although this would be a large amount of money for the amusement park to install, it would quickly repay its self by bringing in more customers. The lines would be moving faster because people don't have to walk, and lets face it there is always those people that aren't paying attention to the line moving ahead of them. People would be in and out of the lines fast and the wait time would decrease. This would attract the crowds of people who hate going to amusement parks because they hate waiting in lines.
This idea will be beneficial to the park itself and to the customers. No more questioning if it is worth a long wait to get on a ride. Problems solved with entertainment provided!
