Problem Statement
Theme parks exists all across the world from the larger chains of Six Flags, Cedar Fair, Disney, etc. but they all have their own apps. Visiting these parks may be enjoyable, but having an app for every park may be the opposite of that. Why have all of these apps on one's device when they could just have one instead?

The User's Experience
Why was this app designed?
The purpose of this creation is to eliminate the need of downloading multiple theme park apps and providing all park information in one spot. It’s to help keep everything neatly organized while giving users the ability to learn more about their favorite parks and keep track of all the things they’ve done.

User Testing
After the product was fully designed, it was time to ask the users what they thought about the app's design. This step was completed by creating a survey with tasks and questions listed having the user carefully walk through the app's layout. Each question contained a different task along with a question to hear their thoughts about that specific feature. While they took the test, I was by their side taking notes and analyzing how they attempted each task as to whether they could complete it.

Test Results
A total of 5 user tests were conducted (only 2 are shown) and they all delivered back positive feedback about the overall idea and app design. Although not every task was 100% completed, they were able to figure them out after a few trial and errors. The steps that weren't completed on the first go were redesigned to fit their styles of thinking. The positive feedback geared towards the simple layout, sufficient amount of information being provided, and the different features that were provided.

Conclusion
Overall, this app saves users from the hassle of having to download multiple theme park apps and keeping track of everything across different services/apps. It includes all features necessary in order to keep track of all park information.
